Hey, 4Play listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. It's Master's Week. It's weird. It's weird for us. I'll get out in front of that because we're very busy at Pinehurst with the Barstel Classic Championship. I'm sure people have seen it all over social, putting stuff up everywhere. So it's been a weird start to Master's Week. Like usually for Masters Week, for me, it's three, four, five days out. I start really going down the rabbit hole of YouTube videos, final rounds, looking at different holes, highlights, reading up on it, what can I find, who's saying this about that?

But this has been different. I've been pretty unplugged, to be honestly, about the Augustine thing. I'm trying to occasionally pull out my phone if I see something on Twitter, click on and try to read through it real quick. But pretty unplugged up to this point about the Masters. I spent like the last 45 minutes trying to read everything I possibly could. about what's going on with this thing. But, you know, Frankie's down here, Jake's down here,

Brendan's down here. So we're pretty plugged in with the Varsal Classic Championship with Pyehurst and all that. So I'm actually pretty jacked up to talk about the Masters right now and to just get myself fully immersed for the next 90 minutes or whatever we're going to do with the two of you about Augusta. Lurch is out playing paddle or something right now. I think he's going to join the show in a few minutes.

But I'm pretty excited to talk Masters. right now. Trent Daddy, how's your sort of prep level and jacked up, excitement level for the master's? Well, I'm very excited. I've been watching it all day, and I've got a few things that I do want to talk about. But the first thing I want to talk about is the colors down there, because obviously the big buildup to this has been, like, what's Augusta National going to look like, that it's November and it's not April. I think it looks pretty similar to what it normally looks like, except there's little patches of orange that are just like striping some of the trees.

And it seems like the master's Twitter account is really playing up those few stripes that go through the trees. But I think once the TV cameras turn on, I don't think that it's going to look all that different. Like they, it was almost like they said, all right, social media guy, go out there and find every stripe of orange leaf that you can find and take a picture of it and tweet it out. But then if you sort of zoom out and you'll see pictures of obviously Tiger played today, JT, Bryson, couples, they all played together. you'll see the course and it looks pretty similar. So I don't think people are going to get the fall feel that they necessarily are hoping to get out of the TV coverage, if that makes sense.

Yeah, you're right. And we, when it was announced that the masters was being postponed due to COVID-19, one of the first things that we did was become as obsessed as we could with, ooh, what's a fall master's going to look like? Fall foliage, pumpkins, turkeys, what are they going to do? months is going to be in. And so you're right now to see, I'm sure that they saw the build up, the hype for that, and they're leaning into it. And they might have one tree on property that has

some orange leaf. And they just take as many photos of it as possible. They might have brought in a tree, right? Like it's Augusta. They could have just brought in a tree that's going through the fall, the turning of the leaves up in the northeast, and just brought it to Augusta, put it into the ground, and said, there's Tiger Woods walking by. Let's zoom in and take a photo. Like, that's fine, me too. Like they paint the fucking curb of the grass. Like we talked about that too. So this is kind of what they do at Augusta and them leaning into it is really good. Before we dive too far into this, I got a shout out Owens mixers. We got a shout out the Varsal Transfusion by Owens. We're down in Pinehurst. This thing is all over the cradle.

It's all over the 91st hole. The Sheila who works the cradles, talk about how everybody comes up. All they want. They're like, I've had that barcelor transfusion before. I need that thing. please make me one of those right now. So big thanks to Owens Mixers. Get yourself some if you have not. This is your reminder that we have our own cocktail, our own mixer that you put in with a little vodka and boom. You're going to have a delicious go-to golf drink.

You should get it while you're watching the Masters. You should pour some in the morning in the afternoon, in the night, all weekend long on the golf course. Owensmixtures.com bars, tool 15, gets you 15% off. The other flavors are really good, too. Again, you literally just pour it in. You get ice. You get vodka or whatever.

you like, you pour in the Owens Mixer, and you just have a phenomenal cocktail. It's crazy how simple that is. So get yourself involved. Owensmixers.com, Barstool 15, gets you 15% off. Frankie has been going through a food delivery time nightmare that we predicted right before this, and he will now enter the show after frantically running back and forth on our Zoom screen. And I'm looking at this food to the right of me, and I'm looking naughty at it. You know, I'm batting my eyelashes, this loaded mac and chagely.

cheese with lobster and shrimp and bacon. Holy fuck. And hard-crusted cheese. Like, I mean, it is. I mean, the Carolina Hotel does it right. I got that, and then I got hickory-smoked wings with barbecue sauce. You got Trent's bite in his hand now. Dude, you're a hundred and sixty pounds soaking wet.

What are you going to do with all that food? Oh, I'm going to fucking, I don't know, man. I'm going to smack myself in the face with those wings. I don't know what I'm going to get wild tonight. I'm a wild boy in here. But I ordered it about 40 minutes ago. I thought maybe it'd come a little faster. It didn't come that fast.

And then now we started the Zoom. So it is what it is. It's going to be a little bit cold when I'm done. I'm going to try and get a couple bites in. The Barso Classic has been phenomenal. I'm sure we'll get right into that. Owens Mixers has been phenomenal. Every time we're at one of these things, we see Josh and the Owens Mixers guys.

And they are just, they just do it the right way, man. Like they know how to make their good drinks. Now it's like the go-to drink at a golf course. even if it's not the transfusion, if it's like one of the cucumber, mint, lime, whatever of the other mixers they have, I'm constantly just having Owen Owens mix here. So shout out to those guys. Shout out to the Barstall Classic, man. This is a fucking hell of an event. It's a hell of an event. It's crazy. It's a fucking, it feels like a major. I don't know what's going on down here, but it feels like a major. It's weird because there's so many different things we want to get into.

The Masters, I've got this whole list, this whole outline of odds, of storylines, of things that we want to get into with the Masters, but it's impossible for us not to talk about the Barstville Classic and the championship that's going on here at Pinehurst. We all, I mean, obviously, I have my story. Everybody likes to comment on it, joke about it, to ask me if I've cried yet today, whatever. You guys also have your history at Pioneers.

We did the travel series here. We did the Kisner match here. Like, we all spent a lot of time at Pirates. And when we booked this and set up the championship for it to be here, it all is very businessy, to be honest. with you. Like it was logistics, it was cost, it was where can we go. And for me, like, the excitement level wasn't necessarily, like, it didn't fully blossom. And I never really fully was able to envision it and what it was going to be because it's always just kind of dealing and we were planning

and me and live events, Lisa and our team are getting this done. Where do you want to? Now that we're actually here and it's happening, it has blown my expectations out. of the water, like seeing 224 people just arrive at Pioneers, the vast majority have never been here before. And they get to compete for a championship here while also drinking, having some truly, having some, some loggers, some beers, some transfusions, whatever they're having, while also playing like the cradle. And I've had a million people come up to me have been like, all right, after one round

in the cradle, I get it. Like I totally, I understand. I understand everything. I'm sorry I made fun of you guys online like whatever and seeing it all become a real thing has so like shocked me and seeing the fact that like barstool sports like we're a joke when it comes to preparation and actually delivering on stuff outside of just humor and like that's actually half the humor a lot of the time is like how we fuck stuff up technology doesn't work events don't work like we did a Trent did an entire entire show one time that was literally a fucking video and audio show with no audio. It just was a silent show. Frankie was there. Frankie shoved corn in the kid's mouth.

I fed corn to a guy in the crowd. He had no shirt on. It got really weird. I remember that. That was with Pat McAfee and Trent and Dave. And we were up there. I remember that being one of the best shows we had. We went on that college tour.

We went to all these different states and all these different colleges. And it was a huge production. And I remember getting off that. We flew on like a private jet out of there straight to a horse race with McAfee to Indianapolis or whatever. And I remember, oh no, it was like his show or whatever. I don't know. And I remember sitting in the car being like,

holy shit, we nailed that. Like that was the best live show ever. There was people on top of that stadium across the street on top of the parking garage going crazy. Trent was a fucking hometown hero going. They were going nuts for him. And then all of a sudden the text started trickling in because we finally got the service.

And it was like, the whole thing was silent. And I was like, what are you talking about? Like, what do you mean? And I was like, Dave, I don't think anyone heard anything. And he's like, what? Like at the end or something, I'm like, no, the 30 minutes from beginning to end. It was just we talk, we scream, but it was just nothing. Silent film.

First silent film in Barcelona is. Yep, I have a statue on my desk because of that silent film. Yes, right. So we've legitimately done shows and that we just can't even get the sound. And now all of a sudden we're putting on, you know, a year and a half after we came up with the idea, we're putting on this three-day extravaganza at one of the most historic golf resorts and golf courses in the world. And it's actually going better than I, and we ever could have imagined. So it's been a wild two days already.

this afternoon we had the playoff from course five, eight teams for two spots on the cradle. It was started on the first hole. And it was genuinely the most exciting thing outside of a professional golf event that I've ever witnessed. I mean, we had 150 people or so that were following this group. And they were just roaring on every shot. and it's the cradle where, you know, I mean, aces, like there's little pockets we've talked about having aces, not having ACEs on the cradle.

And we had multiple shots that lipped out or came home where people were about to erupt. If they went in, we had big birdie pots made to advance. And it was just so amazing that this company and this kind of like joke of a thing that we do turned in to a real life event where people have brought their families down and people are all over the end. people are trying to share everything on their Instagram, on their Twitter. They're sharing on the Snapchat with all their friends. They're like, oh, my God, look, I'm actually at the Barstable Classic.

We're like, no, the Barstallis didn't even exist. It's just a thing that we kind of came up with. I was this a real thing. So it's been stunning, and we still have tomorrow, when people are actually listening to the show, we have the championship day on Pioneers No. 2, which is currently the only U.S. open anchor site in the world. It's the only one. It's got Payne Stewart.

the statue, all of the history, the Donald Ross, Turtleback, Egg Shell, Greens, all of that. The four-man scramble defeating Kevin Kisner, all that history. And now it's going to host all these every man, every woman, every day, weekend, golfers on camera with all this professional signage all over the place. And they get to play for $10,000 and a big championship trophy and title at this course. So we still have that in front of us. It's just pretty preposterous that the Barstville Classic exists and that it's going as well as it's going.

I see a proposal happen? There's a proposal. Yeah. A man and a woman became engaged to be married in front of the Barstow Classic sign on the cradle. Incredible love story. To each their own, probably not the most popular spot to get down on a knee. You know, you had the Carolina Hotel.

over there. You had the clubhouse, which is beautiful, but he chose the Barso classic hashtag sign that was in front of the railroad inside of the first year of the cradle. Hey, listen, that's, that's fandom right there. Let me tell you, that's commitment. And that's a loyal dude. And I wish I'm the best in their endeavors. I met the guy today. He's a fucking good dude. So shout out to him. Shout out to the wife. Actually, a funny little fact about him is he has a worst mustache than I did. And I think he admitted that today. He's trying to grow it out. He's got a couple hairs sticking out there.

He's really hanging on to her nothing. But he's a happy guy. He was fucking celebrating. He was wasted today. He's like, I'm like, I'm getting married. I was like, holy shit. But yeah, he was having a good time. That guy's fucking lifted in life.

I've seen you shaved your mustache though, Frankie. And then aren't quickly, aren't we, oh for one on like dates, a couple arrangements? Didn't we have one guy that called in and was like, hey, I went on like a date? Wasn't there some story there? Do you remember that? Oh, yeah. They were like mini golfing. I think they were like putt putting.

That guy chose to spend. It didn't go well. Well, he was on a date, first date. And he's like, you know what it's really cool is if I call into this Green's episode of Foreplay and we'll just like, I'll be on the show and you'll just listen. He waited for like two hours too. That day definitely didn't go. I think that one ended up not.

No, yeah. We were like, you update us with how it's going. We do another one of these and it did not go well. Not that surprising I can see here anymore Welcome to the show, Lurch You've dropped it out of the heavens Yeah, just a couple minutes late

Had a paddle match, you know what I mean? So busy schedules around Yeah You had your, well, you were in like a spaceship Or something you had like your background You cool like work background thing That's right, so a lot of people When you're at your 9 to 5 and you have a real job

Selling fucking drones and stuff You're in front of a A spaceship background So our CEO is like super futuristic and very forward thinking. So I sell, so anyways, I work for a company called Axon and their main thing is like a taser and then I sell drones and virtual reality training for police officers. So he's so forward thinking that like he's thinking like tasers on drones eventually. He's also thinking like he did a virtual conference the other day like a year ago. where he spoke somewhere else on Zoom

and then had like a robot kind of human being walk around with an iPad where his face was and he presented it on stage in that way. Do you follow what I'm saying? I'm zooming from here and then Frankie, you're my like doppelganger that walks around on stage and like a robot costume with an iPad. So he's an interesting dude.

So he's got all these virtual backgrounds that everybody uses. Do you think that he thought you were on a spaceship? No, I think. He put them together. The team put them together. Don't feel childish, like doing real business, and you have, like, you know,

Star Wars behind you. It's crazy. I mean, people that don't, like, you can't visualize. It was the most outrageous background. No, it looked like, yeah,

it looked like a hallway that Darth Vader would walk through to go, like, you know, tear down the rebels or something. All right, guys, we're going to take it over to Ben,

and he's going to walk us through the next quarter and he's in front of this just like, I mean, come on. Dude, let me walk you through the launderingist of like what are approved virtual backgrounds. We got that one. We got this one. Like, I'm in a dog trip.

Yeah, do you look like that? Another, it's just Star Wars set. This is just like, that's like the company logo. Is the CEO just like, yeah. Check this one out. Where are you at? It's literally like the game Halo kind of. Yeah.

Yeah. It is. What's like blackout in the battle? Exactly. Like this one you're like flying to like. That is literally where. So this is the one. I go with. That last one was where Admiral Akbar says like, it's a trap. That's literally that is

that. That's amazing. So this is this is my Zoom 9 to 5. This is where I live talking about, you know, imagine if that was, if that happened in Barcelona, Dave was like, all right, I got a bunch of pizza backgrounds for you guys to do when we do these Zoom meetings. Like that's just not, that's not the world we live in. God, you've been going on those Zooms with Dave and you got that background. he would immediately exit out. Well, the other day I met him, what I had the mask on, and then he looked back at Frankie and he goes, is he just going to leave the mask on the whole time?

I mean, I don't know. We're inside, dude. I don't know. Yeah, better to lead with it than, you know. Yeah, you know, exactly. All right. Marshall class championship. It's great.

It's been super fun. The weather's been really good, which is actually surprising. because it's November 9th right now. It's been 75 degrees in sunny. We had a little bit of rain this afternoon, but it's still been like 75 degrees in November here, which when we were here last year,

we were here the same exact week last year, and it was cold. Like we had, I think late in the afternoon we had some times where we were able to take off a quarter zip or something, but we had mornings and stuff where it was like 30 degrees out, and we were freezing last year. Yeah, so beautiful out here. I mean, not a cloud in the sky at that point.

I mean, a little bit of a misty. today, but beautiful golf weather from Thursday on until all the way now, Monday and Tuesday. It's been perfect. I mean, classic case for me of, like, sitting in your house and, like, I mean, it rained for 10 straight days in New York City and it was cloudy and stuff. And then I came straight here. And it's classic cases of just, like, seeing the sun for the first time. And you remember, like, holy shit, this is like the world.

This is what the world looked like. This is. I was right. It was beautiful all weekend. I did nothing. I did absolutely nothing. five in Boston area. I did absolutely nothing for those first, like, the last two weeks, it was just raining.

And then I blinked and I was on a pontoon boat with my cousin and my uncle and family on a lake in North Carolina. And I was just like, oh, wait a minute. Like this is like, like wind is hitting my face right now. You actually feel your face and your skin like gravitating towards the sun. It's like, oh, it's like almost like a flower. You're like, wait a minute, my skin needs this. Did your whole family go down, Frankie?

I missed that in the beginning. Did your whole family? Oh, no, I have family that lives here. They were at Charlotte, so I was able to see them. Yeah, you're like a living flower. You're a beautiful flower that needs to blossom. And that sun helps you grow right towards the sun. I'll say you look like you got a little color.

You look healthy. Healthy? Yeah. You got some color, Frank. As you stuffed your face with that mac and cheese, loaded mack and cheese. So fucking good. So I went out and set the pin. for course two tomorrow.

I said on like Saturday and went out, which I've never done before. Like the whole process was our guy Dave, who's the assistant pro here at Piner's, who's one of our good friends. He said, hey, like we're going to go out Saturday afternoon in a cart. We're going to drive around like an hour and a half,

and we're going to go pick all the T's and all the pins for the final round for the martial classic championship. I said, that's awesome, Dave. I said, I'll grab like some truels, handful of truels. We'll rip around with a spray can. We'll just put where we want. want the pins to be. And I've obviously never done that before. I don't know the background to it.

I'm sure, and I was thinking at the time, like, when the USGA hosts and stages the U.S. open, like, there's a committee that determines the pins and where they're going to go and why. And there's like a green book that's got all the variations is probably a heat map that has like the different, you know, where you could actually put stuff based on slopage and degrees. and we were just doing it off field. We're like, yeah, this looks like a great spot for a hole. Like right up front here, people are going to put it off the fucking green. Awesome.

Well, we got a message today that the superintendents were like, yeah, there's a few of these pins that, like, they wouldn't even think about putting them here for the professionals. So, like, is it okay if we move those pins? Like, the ball just won't stay within 15 feet of the hole or even on the green. So we probably can't put the pin there. And I said, yeah, that's fine. But like when Dave and I went out there, we were rolling balls, like thinking that we were fucking Frank Nobalo or like one of these, you know, Jason Gore with the USDA set in the pins.

And we thought we did a good job. It turns out they're going to double cut and double roll the greens for tomorrow. So they're like, no, they're going to be like five feet faster on the stem meter, which is going to shrink the greens. So I got vetoed, but the pins are still going to be pretty ridiculous tomorrow. and I posted that screenshot and a couple of the reactions were like a.k.a. It sounds like a guy who's no clue what he's doing setting pins.

Like, yeah, no shit. I have zero clue when I'm doing setting pins. Like, why would I know when I'm, you think I read a book on how to set pin? So if you watch this really cool video on YouTube and Barstoresoresport.com behind the greens, actually one of the parts of the video that we put in

was this kid setting the pins for the day at Wingfoot. and I remember him telling me, and a lot of it didn't get into the video, but we were talking to him about just like the process. And like I said it on here, but like you can't have it increase or decrease the speed of the ball, can't increase or decrease on a three foot radius around the hole. So like from where you put it from where it's going,

and it can't gain speed or decrease speed right around the hole. You have to find a level that's somewhat playable right around the hole so that it's not constantly sliding and level out. And then also there's level. That can't be right. it is right so you're saying it has to be perfectly flat three feet in diameter i think it can't increase or decrease from where it came with it from that three foot radius right it can't increase or decrease so like it could be downhill but it can't be downhill and increase right like

okay rolling a little bit downhill it just can't pick up speed it has to be the same grade or whatever it can't increase where it was coming from gotcha so that's really interesting and then he was telling us that they have location that they can put the pins in so they know i guess those heat maps right like they know they can put it in this quadrant and he can fuck around with like all right like do we have a member do we have like a do we have a outing today in which i don't like the people coming like i can i can put it on the very outskirt of this quadrant and it will destroy people but it will be legal because it's within those parameters of that three foot radius thing so i think that's us super interesting.

When we were at Wingfoot filming that video, we saw the guys in the coats and the lab coats walking down. There was 20 people walking around greens looking at stuff. And I remember asking a guy, like, there was a day that we were there real late. Like Adam Scott had just gotten to town. He was playing. And like, people were analyzing the fucking greens

and where they were going to be putting the pins. Like analyzing them. Like with fucking, like, paper and like cardboard fucking shit. They're literally looking at it. They had like rulers in their hand. It was crazy. So a lot of stuff goes into where the pins go. And you just did none of that, which is hilarious.

Right. So our process was just me and, it was just me and Dave Galinsky with a wildberry truly in our hands, being like, yeah, that looks sick over there. Let's do that. And that was pretty much it. Frankie, do you remember what like the maximum grade is that they can put it on? Because obviously, like, you know, there's a slider,

but you can't have it on a cliff. Do you remember, like, what the degree angle of like, I don't think he told us that. Okay. Yeah. That's, I'd be interesting to know. I mean, it can't be too much, right? No, exactly.

Like, the ball has to be able to roll to a stop around the pole at some point. Like, there's some putts on this will do here at Piner's, like, where it's supposed to be clown golf, like the putt. And that couldn't exist on a real golf course because you have to be able to hold the ball at some point when you have a five-foot putt. You can't put it on something like this. Yeah, the fissol-do is made to, like, if you miss it, it just goes. six right by and then you got to make this like dude we watched really good golfers today at pine hires on this one the fourth hole on the fissile to do putting green course they made like a 12 and i've never seen it was just on a plateau like it was just they just couldn't figure it out i've never seen

like these are good golfers like one two handicaps like they were just like i can't get the ball to stay up there i thought that they were going to cry like and no one was letting them stop they weren't taking a max they couldn't get the ball to stay up top someone was like put us out of our misery here and just let us stop putting the ball. They're going to get it to stop. Very, very. Pay attention, folks, today, which is Tuesday. We'll be covering it as best as we can.

Someone's going to be crown champion. Someone's going to win $10,000, and someone's going to become the second ever Barstool Classic champion. So pay attention. We'll be all over. Obviously, the foreplay accounts, our accounts, Barstall Classic accounts,

partial sports accounts. Check it out. Did those silly scumbags make the cut for this year? They did not make the cut. They missed it by one. Oh, I know. So no chance of the repeat. Rocco and Anthony. So we will yet again have first time winners of the Barstool Classic. Those are good guys, but man, I thought they were going to maybe, like, imagine they just had a dynasty just continuously winning the Barclasic and just keep racking it in 10 grand. That's just a pretty good business. It'd also be great for me because like they're one handicaps,

both of them. So there's no real controversy with like sandbagging. They work for the first. of Philadelphia, or at least they did for a while. So, like, they're great guys with legitimate handicaps who played great golf. Now we still, like some strangers who come in at, like, oh, we're 16 anti-cats, but both shot 77 today could win. Then we got ourselves a real issue on our hands. We also still have the chance of a massive controversy of nepotism

where my brother and one of my best friends from home could win the Barstool Classic Championship, which they made. made it on the number today. They were three over with three holes to play. They made a net birdie on 16. And then the 18th hole is like a 420 yard par five downwind today. That's, you know, I mean, course number one's been there since the year 1901 or some bullshit like that.

So it's just a really short part five. And they both had eagle pots. My brother, three jacked. And then his boy, JR, hit a great lag put to like a foot and a half above the hole and made that for birdie, which got them in on the number and also bounced five other teams that would otherwise have been in a playoff on the cradle. So, yeah, they were like the second to last group to come in. So they're in it tomorrow. They could win.

So there's a couple potentially controversial storylines going in. This has been the year of many handicap issues and complaints and, you know, a couple of disqualifications. So we have, you know, we'll see what happens. We had a confrontation with one of the men who we did. disqualify. He is here with like some other friends on another trip or something like that. He's in Pioneer. So he was here this weekend.

And he and I had a public discussion about the handicapped situation outside of a nice Italian restaurant in Pinehurst Village this past weekend. You guys got nose to nose I heard. I wasn't there yet, but I heard it got pretty tested. It was nose to nose. It was nose to nose with his posse behind him, like with their arms folded. and then my posse, which is like, you know, bug, Jake, Lisa, live events, Lisa.

Not an intimidating crew. Two grown men arguing about handicaps. You mean Jake Bass isn't going to intimidate? I'm just fucking with him. Imagine that gets out of hand and the cops show up. And they're like, all right, all right, break it up, break it up. What's the fuck out? And then they're like, it's about handicaps for a,

tournament, a tournament that I made. No, like, all right, fuck you guys. And they would leave. They would be like, we, no, we're not dealing with these idiots over this shit. I would say if there was one town, they would deal with it. Yeah, if there's one town, they're going to deal with it. It's Pinehurst. Because, you know, there's been a scuffle about anti-caps and Pinhurstores before.

Now, this had to be a jokingly argument, or was this serious? Zero joking whatsoever. Oh, my God. Fantastic. Zero joking whatsoever. I mean, imagine this. Imagine one of your good friends in your Rider Cup trip, Lurch, gets kicked out and disqualified from the trip over handicapped?

You think he would be joking and fun about that? No, but I think all my buddies in the heart of hearts, like, knows if there's somebody that's a scumbach, he's like, dude, you deserved it. Like, you're, like, lying. Right. But would anybody say, would any of those people say, I'm the scumbag? No. Right.

So this is him now who's been disqualified. He's not going to be laughing about it. He is like. No, but I would think his buddies would be like, hey, buddy, like you're an idiot here? Like, pull back. Like, you're, like, wrong on several levels here. Like, maybe he's correct. He probably told all his buddies, like, no, I'm like, this is bullshit.

And they're probably like, oh, yeah, fuck it. Go fuck Gregs up. Like, and they go to the new Italian restaurant in Pinehurst Village. I mean, that's the controversy you want. All these, you know, potential disqualification, whatever. If you have fist fights, now we're really talking. and about controversy that is going to news the local news might pick that up imagine rough and rowdy me versus the handicapped guy i just picture you're just like uh that pulled out of

context will be very funny a newscaster on the street the next morning with like smoke behind her a car through a window she's like a scuffle over handicapped and tiner's village just just like what happened the night before like project x style like people are waking up like whoa what happened last night. We ended up having a nice discussion after being very public about it in private and I think everything's fine. He was a nice enough guy and I think that we

have it. But, you know, you know Project X, right? The movie Project X. Dude, I just watched that for the first time a week ago. How weird is that shit that that happens? I was, when you as soon as you brought up, I was like, it's so strange and he's talking about that right now. Right. I just watch that movie. That happens to me all the time where

like you watch something for the first time and I haven't yet I haven't said the words Project X in maybe four years, but you just watched the movie, and now I'm talking about it. Very strange how that works. This is a call. This has nothing to do with anything, but this is a call for everyone to go watch a YouTube video.

There was a party that Project X was based off of, a real-life party, and it is one of the most must-watch videos of all time because this dude threw a rager and burnt the city down, the town down. and the news comes to interview him and he is a fucking character like a down-s, I think it's like West Virginia or something. And I'm pretty sure it's like Australia.

No, I think it's, I know, it's definitely in the United States. There goes Jake again, inserting with just incorrect info, right? Like that was definitely a United States party. Because he gets like a down-sett. I'm picturing. So he's walking through with this newscaster. And at one point, he's like, yeah, I don't know. Like, people just came in party.

He's like, this guy hasn't left in two days. And they pan down on this, like, local news station. And a guy is just dead on the floor, like completely, completely passed out. It is one of the funniest videos in YouTube history. Like, it's a very serious. The lady steps over him to fucking get the route to the next room. I'm sorry for derailing the conversation, but it's worth it for every single listener to go watch this YouTube video.

proceed. It was a it's a very good movie, very funny movie. Yeah, this is the real thing. Yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah. The Project X, my review is that it's funny. Yeah. It was worth it. I've never seen it, but I'm very familiar with the situation you arise where you feel like you're, or maybe you are completely dead. I actually had this last weekend on my Woot Band where I woke up, it was at 17%. I think that my brother said that his Woot Band was at 4%

on Sunday morning, which was the lowest he's ever seen it at. I got two hours and 36 minutes of sleep. Now, that might not sound like good numbers. There's reasons to kind of motivate yourself to be a better person and maybe have better habits and a better lifestyle, which is what you get from our very good friends at whoop, which we've been on the train now for a long time. They just released all the information.

I think that came out earlier this, maybe last week, just like mid-last week, about how much money they've raised in their valuation now on whoop. So get involved. We're all on it. Like I said, everyone here. What's everybody laughing here? Well, Jake just came from the clouds and was right about Australia. So I'm watching Frankie read the text chain and see that he's been defeated. And he's now upset, but he doesn't know if it's going to be addressed in the chat.

And so I was. No, I'm no longer looking at the Zoom. So I didn't know what faces were being made. I'm 99% sure. That kid had just an American accent. It was like West Virginia ship. But I'm obviously wrong. I'm going to have to re-watch a video.

That whole party needs whoop. Yeah, true. Well, apparently if that guy had whoop, it would just be zero. Like, if it's zero percent, I don't really know what happens to you. I think you're just eliminated. You're no longer a person. But we've talked about it a lot. Whoop monitors, all sorts of different things from your recovery level, your heart rate.

You can do that in real time, which we've done for a lot of different videos. What's your heart rate over a big put or a drive? or you're nervous, whatever it may be. It's also able to detect indicators of COVID-19, the famous case with Nick Watney, where he saw his whoop band saying, hey, this looks a little dicey. Went and got tested.

He was positive and able to quarantine and potentially save lives. PGA tour procured thousands of whoop bands soon thereafter, so they're all over it. You can go to whoop.com, use the code 4. You're going to get 15% off today. You can also join our team with the code com, COMM, dash,

F.P. Golf. We've got our own team. You can see everybody's doing. You can see our status. You can see where we're at, our recovery, our sleep, whatever it may be. Actually, my recovery and sleep was so bad two days ago that last night I got over eight hours of sleep. And it's still said I was only at like 60% recovery or something. fuck that's like that's that's that's i'm looking at mine right now i'm at 71% recovery today that's that's pretty good that's about as high as it's been lately um i'm still addicted to this thing and i don't know i don't think i know how valuations work i'm positive that i don't but that news that you referred to earlier in the read i woop isn't going anywhere that was that was my big takeaway from their valuation they're not going fucking anywhere whoop's not going anywhere My thing, by the way, said, I was so bad that I needed 10 hours and 34 minutes of sleep last night. Jesus.

10 hours and 34 minutes. Anyways, Woop.com, code 4. You're going to get 15% off. We now have Jake Bass and Frankie Borrelli. I can't argue with Frankie. I'm about to leave and find out I have to go to a gender reveal, so I'm going to leave for 15 minutes. Jesus. I can't do this, but I'm right.

He's wrong. Well, all right. So there's a little caveat. Is that the word I'm looking for? He's going for a gender review. I don't know. So, um,

it was like that one hit me like a ton of breaks. That's it. That's a very 20-20 thing. I got to leave. I got to go to a gender reveal. I'm actually going to hop out of here and just hit this gender review real quick. Um, so I guess I, the,

the video that I'm referring to wasn't what Project X was based off of, but it was a massive rave party in Michigan. James Taylor. It was a barst, it's a barstool like all-time, blog by Dave. I remember it. I remember that.

James Taylor, he's like, this guy is a one in a billion. I could have sworn Project X was based off of him, but I was wrong on that. Still, go type in James Taylor, Michigan Party, all-time video. All right, it's Masters' Week. It's Masters' Week. Wait, before we get off of Barsoo Classic, one more thing. Yep. There is, there were two lady contestants on the fifth, the, uh,

course number five. I don't know if there was any number one, but I was on course number five. Fucking phenomenal golfers. I wasn't at the Scottsdale golf. I wasn't at the Scottsdale one, but that girl Kim, who I almost shit my pants when I watched the way she hit the golf ball. She hit a ball onto the green on the first hole. It was, she hits a ball like 260. We followed her for one hole. She hit a hybrid like 240, ho-hum, no problem, pitching wedge to two feet, tap in birdie. I said, now what the fuck's going on out here? had guys that were like six, five. She was out driving them with hybrids and three woods. I'm like, this is no joke out here. The Barstall Classic brings the best of the best out here. And then there was

another one with the guy wearing the Pittsburgh Steelers jersey. She was phenomenal too. She said she carried her partner to the next day on 17 out of the 18 holes. Really good. I like to see the lady golf out there coming out strong in the Barstow Classic. So I wanted to give them a shadow. And also, there were two guys that I had talked to for the whole, like I feel like for the last couple days and there were two good dudes and you were talking on them rings you put up a video they were four under with five holes to go

the cut was plus one they're four under with five to go they finished two over now that is a collapse of epic epic proportions i mean that you go you lose six strokes

in five holes a team of it you have two balls in every hole like And it's strokes. There's strokes involved. You have two balls and strokes, and they were five, no, six over on the last five holes. So one of the guys, I'm like, what happened out there, right? Like, what happened out there?

One guy's like a one, and he shot like a 90 or 89. But on one of the holes, he just kept going out of bounds. He refused to stop going out of bounds. And I looked at the other guy, I said, what were you doing, turn all this? And he just shook his head and walked away. know what happened on that hole but the fact that they had to take one of their scores I think they made like like a 13 or something crazy happened I'm like now what were you doing he's just like I don't want to talk about it and walked away and then we didn't get the rest of the story so yeah I just needed to

bring up those two points because those I've been thinking about that ever since I got back to my room that's I mean four down and not making the cut I mean they went from winning the thing right like six under I think was a winner or like seven they they almost won the thing to not making the cut. So that's brutal. That girl, that girl Kim, who is an absolute stick, she at the Scottsdale stop on the closest to pin hole was like, Riggs, you want to do closest to pin versus me for like $20 or $20 or something? And I was like, yeah, absolutely, let's do it. It was like $1.70 or $1.80 or something. And she said, she said, oh, yeah, why don't you go first? You go use his club or whatever. And for me, it's like, yeah, 170 downhill. I hit like a seven iron. And I was like, like,

short and I was like yeah that's like not bad for me it's fine and she hit I think a seven iron to like five feet and made birdie and I was just like well now what are we doing here like what are you you're just better at golf than I it doesn't matter you could be female male you could be an alien you could be right it doesn't matter like you're just better than I am at golf and that's so I was going to lose this no matter what so the reason I bring this up to you is like multiple women page Baratic that group that we're supposed to play in a four man's like if they're just better than her or like same level or whatever it is because i know she's a pro like whatever level we get dusted by four of them like what i saw on the couple holes from them

it was the easiest playing of golf i've ever witnessed in my like she was better she actually seemed to be better at golf than when we've watched kids play against us like i know it was a lot easier of a golf course but it was it was it was rope shot right down the middle and then the most beautiful pitching wedge to two feet i've ever seen my life we get absolutely dominated by the page veran and crew if we have to play three of them which i think we are and it's over there's no chance that we are plus one thousand underdog so that's coming up in the next month probably and you're right i mean they're just really good at the game of golf they hit the ball pretty long and straight and pot really well and chip really well and those are all categories in terms of skill that none of us are particularly good at

So the fact that they can do all of them, it's just not good for us. So we need to really strategize about this because I want to protect our undefeated record, obviously, as long as possible. And if we just set up against a match against four people that are better than we are at golf, we'll just lose a golf. So that's not really not good. So we should talk about that. Speaking of winning or losing in golf, Frankie avenged me, really, and the forward play. reputation against 12-year-old Pete at CCNC and defeated him in a playoff.

Yeah. With one small caveat. One small caveat. He gave me nine. I mean, yes, but he gave me nine strokes. Let's just get ahead of that. That's half the holes. I mean, like, that's so way different.

So let's get it. Let's just dissect this real quick, and then we're going to get to the master's talk because no one wants to talk about this. You know, I showed up to CCNC, very nice. Mike, it's name's Mike Myers, by the way, which is hilarious. Impossible to forget his name. The dad is named Mike Myers. And we have 12-year-old Steve.

Nope, 12-year-old Pete. Here's the thing. I called 12-year-old Pete, 12-year-old Steve, 15-year-old Steve. We have a caller for radio named 15-old Steve. I even called Pete $20 Pete at one point. I was like, how many, on the golf course? I was like, yo, $20 Pete, come over here. And he's like, what did you just call him?

I'm like, I don't fucking know. We got too many names and numbers right before him. 12-year-old Pete invited us out there, me and Ebug. We go, it's a beautiful golf course. We're playing Cardinal at CCNC, which is the opposite one that you played. You played Dogwood. We saw Dogwood. It's phenomenal.

Both golf courses are the same thing. And I walked into the clubhouse, and I asked the pro there, I said, now, let me ask you something. I think I'm going to play Pete in a little match here. What's his handicap? And he looked it up, and he goes, it's a 1.4. And I said, hold, Holy fuck. Like, this kid's 12.

And that's just what his handicap is. I'm sorry to everyone in the handicap please. He plays the game of golf. And when he inputs his scores, he's a 1.4. He's consistently shooting mid to low 70s and from a decent distance. So I think Riggs played him at like a hybrid white from like 6,000 yards. I ended up negotiating to push him back to 65 yesterday the other day. So I played with nine strokes from 6,500 yards.

he was out driving me when he got down the middle consistently. And I asked the pros, how much do I gave him, he looked me up in the gin and he goes, you get nine strokes today from that back to you get nine strokes. The pro who knows Pete and knows everything single part about his game said, Frankie gets nine strokes today. That's just the way the game of golf works. And it came down to a playoff.

It was fair. Right, but I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that like Riggs played him straight up. You played him getting nine. stroke. So like, I wouldn't say you avenged the four-play crew by beating the 12, or you lost, or what, you won in a playoff? I destroyed them, yeah. I destroyed them.

An absolute ass-kicking in a playoff. Listen, I didn't, like, I haven't played since the last time we fucking played Jake Owens. It's like it was my first time picking up a golf club. I played the creek, and I shot 120. I didn't really, I haven't played golf. This kid lives on a golf course. I haven't said wasn't going to play him straight up. He was going to, I mean, he destroyed me.

He shot in 80. I shot 87. I needed all the strokes I could get. Right. But I'm not saying that. My argument is like, well, you, it's a much different match than rig. Well, I'm just getting ahead of everyone being like, you gave, you got nine strokes from a 12-year-old. I'm like, well, if we're going to play a fair match and he's a 1.4.

No, I got no problem with that. I mean, if the kids at 1.40, he's a 1.4 from wherever he plays. Like, he's just horribly, and he's better than I. 81 or an 82. I don't have any problem with that. I just, I would say that there's probably. if you looked at some evidence, some hypocrisy here at some, on some level. Well, I've never, I've never, ever carried myself,

and I've never carried myself in a way in which I'm, like, talking loud and proud about my golf game. I've always said that I'm a lunatic. I'm a mental head case. I can't get it done. I've never once said I could beat a 12-year-old. I said that 12-year-old Pete would destroy me, I think, many times in those, in those arguments.

I think what you're alluding to me being hypocritical about is me making fun of you losing to a 12 year old. But you hold yourself to a higher standard of golf skill than I do. So you losing to a 12 year old definitely hurt you more than had I lost so a 12 year old. But I would say that you're in those making fun of me for losing to a 12 year old. It wasn't. I can't believe Riggs lost your 12 year old. Who was a one before handicap, which is just lower than Riggs's handicapped? Oh, too.

To be fair, I did not know. was a 1.4 handicap. I thought maybe I was talking to Brendan. I'm like, what do I get like four strokes? Like I didn't know going up there. I'm like, he's got to be better than me. But like what? When I heard the 1.4, I almost got back in the car and left because I thought for sure, even with nine strokes, this will be the most embarrassing loss of my life. I saw one of his swings. He does the thing that like all good golfers do where they get like, they're almost like front shoulder dislodges and they get their hands real high. You know what I mean? You can do that. So as soon as you see somebody do that you're like keep it it's your e-win i'm out here and to be fair on this show i do think everyone

in our discussions about it was like well yeah we would have all obviously lost the 12 real people we're still going to make fun of you for it right that's fine i can't that's our only take you dude i beat him 16 17 18 end the playoffs straight up and i mean the kid crumbled he'd into the water on 18 i had a fucking beautiful shot in the playoff around all i had they had a hundred and 35 yard four iron hook shot around water and trees to land it on the green. And I think he dropped like an F bomb. Like on the other side of the fairway, he's like, fuck. Like it was like, he couldn't believe I hit the green.

I just heard it like faintly like, fuck. Because like there's no chance, Frankie pulls this shot off he's thinking. But yeah, it was a lot of fun. And like the dad, Mike is great. We did a 12 year old beat 12 year old Pete Challenge. Riggs came up with this idea to like closest to the, If you could beat Pete on the cradle during a cradle event, you got a little, like, cradle fucking marker. But it was $20 to, like, the local hospital for COVID relief.

And his dad was great with that, like, collecting the money and giving it to the charity and everything. So they've been great. I mean, 12 year of Pete's a superstar. I mean, there's no doubt about it. People were asking him for his autograph. I know. He is a, he's also just a really good kid. Like his dad, Mike has raised.

Like, he's always pleased and thank you. and Colin Beagle, Mr. He's just a great kid. So it was cool. He was an all-star out there with, it's very funny, him out there among a bunch of, like, drunk adults.

And Pete's just hitting sticking wedges left and right and, like, stealing their money and then giving it to the local hospital. He was $3,720 just from that little idea. And everybody was great with him. So it was really cool. And, yeah, I mean, you got the win, Frankie. So you did really all you could,

based on the situation, you hit some six shots under pressure. And with your nine strokes, you defeated 12-year-old beat. Yeah, once the match was on, I had to win. It's like, yes, I got a lot of strokes. Yes, that's probably demoralizing for a 27-year-old to get nine strokes against a 12-year-old. Then again, there's a lot of good 12-year-old golfers out there, and it's time that we started fucking realizing it. Because he played a-dust in him.

There's guys shooting 66s and 67s he's telling me. There's a kid that shows up. He fucking shot like a 63 one tournament. Yeah, no, I like watching you flip sides when it happens to you. It was the same thing with the hole in one at the cradle. As soon as you experience it, you were like, oh, no, no, now I'm over here. Like you were on our side because we would, I mean, we would make fun. This kid would obviously kill, he would kill me obviously.

But we were all on our side sort of chirping rigs. And then it happens to Frankie. And he's just, now he's on the, you're like, Brick Tamplin. You're like, Brick, how did you get over there? What are you doing on that side? And you're holding the grenade. That's what you were like. whenever these things happen.

Yeah, no, I know. I like to flip. But also, it's like I throw stones, but without being in the situations, and now I see the situation, and it's too late to go back on what I said, because, I mean, I never knew it was at one point. We never knew about this good handicapped.

So that was stunning news when I, like, Brendan was there with me. I was like, what? What did you think he was, though? Like, what did you think? I don't know, bro. I didn't think he, like, 12-year-olds were that low. I mean, dude, there's probably some 12-year-olds.

old's out there that are like minus four. Yeah. On some level, like, he just, he hits the ball straight. He chips well and he puts really well. It's like he's just gonna, he's just gonna make a lot of bars and birdies. And he plays good golf. So Pete's just a really good golf. He's old enough to play the course.

He hits the ball fucking far. Yeah. He's also, we were laughing about this. Like when I played 12 year old Pete, it was in like March or April. Like 12 year old Pete is now way, older. Like even though it's only been six, seven months when you're 12 is like, he's a

different person. Oh yeah. I got news that when you played him, he was like basically 11. I think he had just turned 12. I was like, oh, are you like 13 year old Pina? He's like, no, I turned, because I don't know when you played him, but he's like, I turned 12 in like March. I'm like, didn't you play like race in March?

He's like, yeah, it was like the day before. I was like, holy shit. He was 11. But that's, I don't know. my point. Like he's, you know, six, seven months for like eight months, he's a different human being than he was then. So, so he's, yeah, I'm sure he's hitting it farther now even than he was when he was playing me. Okay. Master's, before we get to Masters, we got to talk about seatbelts, all right? You got to wear your seatbelt. You don't wear your seatbelt. It's just not smart.

It's not, you're going to come up with excuses out there. I'm not going very far. I'm going to rush, do not kid yourself. There's no such thing is a good excuse for not buckling up. It actually just makes zero sense. Zero sense. If you cherish life at all, which you probably should because you're a living, breathing creature, you need to be buckling your seatbelt. From November 16th to the 29th, state and local law enforcement agencies across the nation are stepping up their enforcement efforts for motorists who are not wearing their seatbelt. In 2018, nearly 10,000 people were unbuckled when they were killed in crashes. That is 43% of people killed in motor vehicle crashes

that were not wearing their seatbelts. No matter what kind of vehicle you drive, wearing your seatbelt is the best offense in any crash. Even when you sit in the back seat, you still need to buckle up. That goes for when you ride in taxis and use ride-sharing services too. That is on the copy, by the way.

I've been defending that for a long time that I wear my seatbelt when I get in a cab or when I get into an Uber. Some people thought that that's really weird. It just makes sense. You're just trusting someone. It just doesn't, it's just crazy. So do not, do not get into a car and not wear your seatbelt.

Click it or ticket isn't about citations. It is about saving lives. There were 9,778 unbuckled passenger vehicle occupants killed in crashes in 2018 in the United States to help prevent crash fatalities. We need to step up seatbelt enforcement day and night. And we are. So please wear your seatbelt. Okay.

Now really buckle up because it's master's talk time. We got Masters Week. We've got a ton to get to. We're going to be, for a little programming alert, we're going to be in Philly. We're going to be at the Philly House, the Gambling House, the Barstville Sportsbook, the app, go get the apps if you live in Pennsylvania. And we're going to be whipping up all these different prop bets and betting on them. And I'm incredibly excited for that because we just haven't really spent any time in Philadelphia. or in Pennsylvania at all.

The one time I was in Pennsylvania was when we did the Pittsburgh Barstool Classic and I actually put, I think I put a like 500 bucks in or something and I was like, yeah, I'm going to go crazy on social and the company's going to be really happy for me. And then I tweeted about all the different bets that I took and I won every single one of them.

So now I have a bunch of money sitting in my sports book account, Marshall Sportsbook account, that I just get to bet on the Masters in the entire week this week. So I'm very excited to get to Philly and to gamble away on the Masters. And we've got a lot of cool prop bets. But the fact that it's Masters Week is it's surprising. It's weird.

It's November. Yet Augusta National has done a great job with their hype videos. Tiger Woods is out there. Tiger Tracker tweeted out the fucking Undertaker gift today. That was an amazing moment. So it's Masters Week. you very good about it. What do we think about, so yes, happy Masters week to everybody. It's the best time of the year. I mean, how many months has it been since the last Masters? Like, dude,

what I tweeted? I tweeted this morning. I was thinking about the last Masters, Tiger, everything, and I tweeted it this morning and it blew people's minds because it blew mine right before I tweeted it. The last time the Masters was being played, there was a little show called Game of Thrones still happening. The last season of that show was just kicking off. And I don't know about you guys, but Game of Thrones feels like it took place five years ago. Like the Sopranos.

Like it came out when my like, I don't know, my sister was growing up. Like it's not even. To the point, there's no chance it came out the last time we saw the masses. To the point where before I tweeted it, I had to fact check myself because I don't want to look like an asshole

and be wrong about this. Sure enough. And I remember thinking back to that day, We were still in the old Barstville HQ. That's where we all watched it, and Dave got the infamous phone call. But I remember getting in a taxi that morning, and the guy asking me on the way to the office being like, do you got anything interesting going on today? Just like nice pleasantries? And I was like, yeah, I got Tiger Woods potentially winning his 15th major.

And I got the season eight, the last season of Game of Thrones kicking off. And that's the last time that there was a master's tournament. And it just feels so, so, so much long ago. And it really, in reality, it's, what is it? It's 17 months. Half almost, yeah. I mean, that's a good way. It's a good, it's a good amount of time, but it feels like three to four years.

Yeah. That day was the biggest roller coaster of a day and so incredibly long. And, like, the night before was a Saturday. night in which we had just been posted up watching the Masters all day Saturday. And I think we played that course on Staten Island that morning. So my point is that day, that Saturday before, Tiger Woods goes out and shoots an awesome score to get himself in contention to the Masters. So obviously we're drinking to like witness it and celebrate.

We went out that night in New York had a great time. Then they announced they're like pushing all the tea times up. So now we're in the office really early. They tea off at like 9 a.m. Five, six hours later, Tiger Woods wins the Masters. So we've got like Tiger merch that we're slinging. We recorded the podcast right away. We're getting blogs up.

We're tweeting our asses off or so, so, so then went home, like slept for a couple hours. And then came back to the office and we did the Game of Thrones finale, the first episode of the family, which the first episode was actually well received. It was like a buildup episode, but I remember it was pretty well received. So we're all hyped up about that. We were doing like the Game of Thrones podcast at the time. and you are right, Trent, that if you told me that was three years ago that we did that

and that we had that day, that would make a lot of sense. We haven't seen a golf shot hit at the Masters since Tiger Woods put out his last butt in 2019 to win. Like that's so long ago. Now we're going to have two of them. So it's just exciting. It's very exciting to be back.

Bryson DeShambeau is the odds-on favorite. I looked on the Barstville sports book. He is eight to one tied with Duff. Johnson for the best odds to win the tournament. Bryson has really captivated a lot of people going into this tournament largely with his distance. I think a lot of folks are talking about this article that came out going through the practice round that he played, where it was revealed the different clubs that he hit into some of the holes. He reached, first of all, I posted video where he reached over 200 mile per hour ball speed on the driving range at Augusta, which is

ridiculous. Again, when Tiger came back in 2018, everybody was going crazy. He was reaching like just over 180, 181, 182 on his biggest swings. He doesn't even reach those now. And that was crazy. We're talking 200 mile per hour pricing out of the range. Clubs that he hit in on the first hole, he hit a sandwich into the first hole, 445-yard par, four. Second hole he had an eight iron in. The second hole is that awesome downhill slopes to the left part. You see guys trying to hit three woods in there and stuff all the time. Well, he had an eight iron in. The third hole, which is the shortest part four, three-fifty, he flew the green with the three-wood. Jesus. Flew the green with a three-win. I mean, I saw today, Nick Faldo said that if Bryson

drives the green on number one, he will run around the property naked. He said he's going to strip off all his clothes, jump out of his tower on 18, buck naked, and just sprint around. So, I mean, he's joking, but if he's, if he's got any stones at all, he'll actually do it. It's funny he said that because I said that today when I was, I was like trying to make a hard put on this'll do at Piner's. Like, man, if I make this thing and I'm going streaking, like, I'm fucking, I'm streaking across this thing. And someone in the back was just like, why would you do that?

I was like, you're right. Like, everyone's got to laugh at one dude's like, why would you fucking do that? Like, you're going to get naked? like what? Like, what happens after you get naked? Like, you just run around? Like, what do we do? Like, do we just watch you?

He was, like, really grilling me on it. Imagine Faldo, be like, let's go. Like, everyone's just staring there, like, looking at it. And like, all right, now, well, get back in the power, Nick. Like, what are you doing, you psychopath? So keep an eye out for that. You might see a naked Nick Faldo on Thursday. Oh, man, dude.

And what do you think about the fact that Tiger played with him today? And I text one of my buddies, like, that's just Tiger getting an event, like always needing to get an edge, right? Like he's, he, this is the week that we all think that Bryce and Deschambeau is going to come to Augusta and it's going to be his master's and he's going to break the game of golf. And he's finally there for a practice round. And who do you see right next to him? Smiling and chipping and taking all the fucking, all everyone's eyes are on.

It's Tiger fucking Woods. He wouldn't let him get a practice round, his first practice round of Augusta without him being there to witness how he's going to do it. Maybe, maybe now he didn't want to show all of his cars. Like maybe he's being a little more reserved, Bryson. You don't know. Tiger plays mind game. games way far in advance. And we can even, we can't even, we can't even comprehend what goes on in Tiger's mind

and how he attacks the game of golf mentally, physically, emotionally. He was, he was on his A game today playing with fucking right there. And every picture you see of Bryce and his Tiger smiling with that nice blue on. He looked fantastic today. Oh, man, my jack up to see that. He looked great today. He always looks good at Augustine, but especially today. And you're right, Frankie.

Every single thing that Tiger Woods does is to gain a competitive advantage. That is why he's Tiger Woods. Like I think all the time about how I'm just walking around and the fact that I'm not even thinking about my legs moving, but they're just moving and I'm just walking. That's great. Tiger Woods doesn't even do that. Like when he goes left and then goes right and it, it's all calculated. It's all for a reason. It's all to understand the grass and the break.

And so him playing with the guy who everyone is talking about in his practice round on Monday at Augusta National. Of course, he's out there. He's learning. He's paying attention and is observing. He's probably trying to. get in his kitchen a little bit. He's probably showing off some of his strengths to remind Bryson, like, uh, who's the sheriff in town here?

Who's got five fucking green jackets? It's me. And that's awesome. That's what we want. We want Tiger not being like afraid. He's not like peering through the trees. Like what's that Bryson thing doing over there? No, he's fucking up close and personal.

He wants to learn. He wants to rattle his cage a little bit. There was that great story about Tony Fiena, who was in that final group with him and Moinesari last year where, you know, the fourth and fifth hole in. Tony, who's like, I'm very good friends with Tiger. We talk all the time. Tiger hadn't said a fucking word to me or walking off the tea. I said, hey, Tiger, how are the kids?

And he just looked at me and said, good. I didn't say another word to him the entire fucking round. So, of course, he's out there. He is doing everything he can strategically to gain that advantage. He always plays with Fred Couples and he's practiced on it. Every time he plays with Freddie couples, he, like, wins the Masters. So he's got Freddie Boom Boom out there with him. J.T. he was his best boy back there.

And then he's keeping his eye on that Bryce. to shambo thing that everybody's talking about. So I love that. Bryson on the eighth hole, 570 yard par five, the big uphill one, where again, you see like tiger hitting giant hook three woods trying to get it to that green. Bryson had a seven iron into that thing. On the 10th hole, he hit pitching wedge in. People always have long irons in there. On the 11th hole, he had a 9 iron.

On the 13th hole, he had a 7 iron in after hitting 3 wood off the T. And on the 15th hole, he had a 9 iron in. And on the 17th hole, he had a sandwich in. So Bryson is clearly coming and doing his thing and bringing it to Augusta. We're all very excited to watch it. I read today that when he was over the ball on 15 about that his T-shot, he whispered to himself, home run. I don't know if that's true, but I read that somewhere.

And I'm excited to watch Bryson this week with no fans and no noise just to hear the crazy shit. that he whispers under his breath right before he's trying to hit a fucking bomb. Because I think we're going to hear some weird things. Yeah. You know? Yeah, I think there's definitely some weird things. I mean, he's going to shout from the rooftops.

Like on 15, 13, when he's like going to bomb it, he's pre-swing routine, that they need to have those mics, you know, that are right near the T-box that are usually just for the sound of impact. Let's get that right on Bryson's voice. Because, Riggs, if you keep going, there's a stat on 13. He had two, or he had three drives today on 13. and there was something that came out about where he landed,

and I hope you get there. Well, he's hitting him into like 14, isn't he? So pretty much, but he had 1.30 in, and then he had 148, and then the third ball he pulled left that was no good. But so, I mean, he's hitting, he's got 52-degree wedges in on a bar, like it used to be your leg landed out there. You have this crazy hooked lie. You've got to take on the creek and have a drawback.

and now it's just somehow bomb it miles over and then have the shortest little flip wedge into that. Like if that whole Bryson is changing golf, in effect, he is ruining 13. He has just destroyed. I just picture his ball is just blowing through the 13th Fairway and the people on 14 just like, what is happening right now? Like that's going to happen a couple times. It's probably good the patrons aren't there because he would just be killing people. Like he's taking lines because there's no patrons that are going to like block his ball.

He's like, no, I'll just blast it over there on a 14, come back, flip wedge it, we'll make an easy party. One thing I need from him, and I think we're going to get it, is like, and we may not because it's not that fans, but I think he can hype himself up enough. Like that video we saw that someone may have secretly taken when he was at, like, that club the other day, and he was hitting and all his friends are around him, and he screamed after he hit that. if we can get like Saturday or Sunday, Bryson, where he maybe, I don't know, hits one to like a foot on 12, drills, or maybe hits like a 50 foot put on 12 to like take the lead and then walks up to 13,

like a madman, like with all this height and gives us one of those like after he hits. I don't know how, I don't know. And people think I'm probably a crazy person. I'm screaming right on to the podcast. Go watch the video of Bracen. hitting this ball at his local club, whatever he was doing. He is a fucking madman, Royd-raging madman after he hits his ball.

If we get that at Augusta National, I don't know what they do. I think the marshals come out and like calm him down. That's not allowed at Augusta National. He is going to be an unchained, untethered monster that like has broken out and is just flailing his arms everywhere, screaming inside the most beautiful place on earth. It's like having a fucking demigorgon.

inside of a fucking like one of those little shaking globe things like it's it's perfect it's perfection inside and all of a sudden you have this guy in there just banging his heads against the wall i need all of that i need it it's it's you know they're talking about how the the green coat said that they're not gonna rock their their jackets they don't want to see elitist to be like when bryson does that you're all a sudden you're going to see like two green coats come walking out towards him and bryson's just gone for the rest of the day like you can't swing like an asshole and start panting and screaming and yelling on the golf course at Augusta National. And imagine like you're saying, Frank, you have cameras, there's nowhere to hide him.

People, they can't cut from him. He's leading the tournament. And he's just swinging like that. Like, it's over. So he is, he is literally- Normalizes grunts like in tennis. That will be like the biggest thing for that sport. Like, if guys start, if he normalizes a grunt after a swing, I don't know where golf goes

from there. Like, can you imagine if in 20 years, that just becomes a normal thing. We're hitting the ball so far and so strong that when these big fucking pros are going, I've gone over your slate. I mean, that's, then you've essentially turned it into the long drive contest.

That's what they do at the long drive, where they hit it and they just let out primal screams. Bryson has now brought that to Augusta's doorstep. That's true. I wasn't thinking of that. That's very true. I am thinking you put my brain a little pretzel, though,

like the first person is scream while hitting the tennis ball. people must have been looking in for her like what the hell was that and so now I'm figuring that would be golf they're like whoa she's enjoying this that's something's going on or for a guy too I mean if you ever heard they I mean everyone's heard of but they are some of them are like suspect like some of these dudes hit these little tap shots and they go

there's no there's no way I kind of understand later in the match later in the match, I kind of get it because you're like physically like exhausted after five or six hours. But the drop shot, I don't fully understand why they make a noise. But like when they're hitting forehands on a long rally, I get like the noise can potentially come out because you're like almost frustrated that the match is still going on. Drop shots I don't get. But the driving screaming,

sometimes it starts with like a, uh, uh, like it, it raises as they hit it. Like it's wild stuff. You're tuning in when they're like, when they do change to the shorter shot, when it's like, ah, ah, and then they're like, oh. You're just like, what's that? I remember, like, the French Open or whatever, come on late night. I used to have to turn my fucking tennis on mute because I didn't want my mom and dad coming in and be like, what the fuck are you watching?

You eight-year-old kid watching fucking, I'm like, I'm watching Sports Center. It's like fucking full-on, full-on. fucking sex. It's crazy. What I would really love from Bryson is a Max Scherzer moment where when he's over the ball and he just cursed, he's just like, I would love Bryson be like, you fucking piece of shit,

you motherfucker. Like right before he hits a ball would really be the best thing ever. If you don't know what I'm talking about, go watch Max Schurzer curse himself out on the mound. It's a phenomenal video. You're dead, you stupid motherfucker. As he says, he was about to throw.

It's the most intimidating thing. I mean, that batter has to call for time immediately. As he said, be like, hold on. Hold on. I think this ball's coming between the pipes here. I don't know what's about to happen. Oh, shit. Bryson and Augusta. He's the favorite. He is the betting favorite. He's the reigning

U.S. Open champion, and he's descending upon Augusta exactly how we were hoping that he would. So that's going to be a great storyline. Now, we're talking about swinging really hard. People come here for Augusta national talk, and like they just somehow laying on that second of just us just moaning and stuff that's foreplay for you i mean you're not going to

get the exes and o's we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna start moaning into your ears and we're gonna be talking about i think i said demi gordon at one time i tried to say demi god inside of a glass snow glow we don't know we're off the rails but you know what it's fucking masters week and i'm just giddy it's a giddy feeling right feels like christ you also like apologize earlier about derailing the conversation it's like that is like so on brand for this podcast of just, every conversation's a tangent, but it really goes almost nowhere and somewhere.

You nailed Demogorgon, though. That's from Stranger Things. Yes, that's right. All right. Okay. Cool. Job, Frank. Thank you.

Yeah, that's pretty good. Farmer's Almanac predicts this winter is going to be brutally cold. What is it about 2020 that made everything so aggressive? Well, we've got the antidote, fight cold with cozy, and start stock. piling on Tommy John brawes, underwear, loungeware, and pajamas. It's the new toilet paper in terms of stocking up on stuff. This year, Tommy John is making sure you can give the gift of comfort to everyone on your list and yourself with Tommy John men's and women's loungewear.

Now look, I could read this a little copy here. Yeah. That would be cute. Dude, I got to say, I got to say something about these sweatpants, okay? They're very, very comfortable, but I have large legs. They're just really big legs. I don't think I can ever wear those things out in public, me personally, because I mean, they look preposterous. But they are so, so, so comfortable.

I'm the only person in the world who has my body type where when I put those sweatpants on, they're pretty tight. They're tight on the hams, on the gams. But they are some of the most, they are probably the most comfortable pair of sweatpants that I own. So when I'm around the house, I just throw those things on and they are so comfortable. Someone tweeted at me, and you can even find the tweet. I don't tweet that much. So it's probably in my tweet and replies. Someone said, are Tommy John's really that good?

Oh, because Spoof Fighters was releasing a new song, and I said, I need to change my Tommy Johns. Like, I no longer say I need to change my underpants, I need to change my boxers, my boxer briefs. I now use it. It's almost like how we said Kleenex owns the word. Right. And like, Kleenex owns, like, the duty of cleaning something.

Tommy Johns is starting to own and may own the word, like, underpants. I constantly use it. I say, like, oh, my. Tommy John's feel. I'm telling you right now, I feel this way with a couple brands, Orson Alps is one of them. I'm not going to get crazy on other ads during an adry, but Orsnapps and Tommy John, I can no longer live without Tommy John. So if Tommy John doesn't, isn't a business in 50 or 60 years when I'm 70, when I'm 75 years old and like withering away at some point or 80, hopefully I get there with my fucking stress and my stomach and my heart. If I get to when I'm 80,

I will be wearing Tommy John. And they need to be around. That's, That's on them. Like, you need to be around Tommy John's. I can no longer wear other underwear. I have, like, 13 pairs of Tommy Johns now, all different colors, lengths, the pouch. Do you guys break up your underwear into, like, your A, B, and C kind of undies? Like, your A's or your Tommie Jones or B. And then your C's.

Well, I mean, I know, maybe you guys get more gear than I do. But, you know, when you want to replace and get some A's, Tommy Johns is the most comfortable, like, underwear you can potentially put on your skin. When you're looking for clothes and, like, material to touch your skin, you wanted to be comfy. Tommy John is as comfy as it gets. Tom and there's a product. I got, like, a couple Tommy Johns, right? Like, every now and then they'll send out a new thing. I'll check out.

There was a one time where I just needed more. I went out and bought $200 worth of Tom and John at a store. I went to, like, Macy's and got just the Tom and John section. I needed them. I got, like, 10 pairs of Tommy John's. Dude, I've never been a pajamas wear ever, just never. It's just not in my DNA. It's not in my family.

We just, like, I just never learn to wear pajamas. They sent me a pair of these pajama pants. I've been for, like, eight months now. I just wear pajama pants to bed every single night. That sounds like a delight. I mean, it's the best part of my day. When I slip into these silky motherfuckers, my body is just like, ooh, like, oh, okay. I sleep better.

I just, like, exist better throughout the whole night. Sometimes I don't even want to fall asleep. So I'm like, I just want to, like, while I'm asleep, I can't feel how good this feels. So I just want to stay away for another half hour because things are so comfortable. We've been talking about underwear for a while now, but I want to say one more thing about Tommy Johns where I actually kept my old underwear, but I put it, so I put the Tommy Johns on top of the old underwear. So if I, basically to teach myself a lesson if I run out of the Tommy Johns where if I, like, I need to do laundry, but I don't do it, I have to start dipping into. the old underwear and it's like you did this to yourself you you you pay the price now the tommy johns are so much more comfortable than the old ones that if i have to put on a pair of the

old ones it's like you you did this this is your mistake i'll get late night i'll do the sheets i have the sheets made the nice fluffy comforter i get my pillows i make my bed i slip into to tommy john underwear those nice silk tommy john jamas and then they have a nice Tommy john t-shirt that now is like a little big on me and it's that like silky feeling it's a nice blue and I get cuddly waterly in my wet in my beddy and I I I can't believe how comfortable I am like instant sleep it's like sleeping on a goddamn cloud honestly like they should partner with bed companies and like because that is what makes your night's sleep like more comfortable than others, right? Like, you can get all the sheets, you can get all the comforters,

you can get all the beds. It's like what you're wearing. And some people sleep naked. No, this is better than naked. It's literally better than naked. There you go. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. That's a great tag. Tommy John, better than naked. There's also no risk with Tommy John's best pair you ever wear or it's free guarantee.

We're talking about Tiger Woods. Tiger Tracker's back. Tweeted out the gift today and then tweeted out a bunch of stuff about what's going on. I think we're all fans of Tracker. Am I? Is that correct? Yes.

Big fans. Yes. It has to be. Huge. Huge fans. One of the best, maybe the best at what he does in the entire world. never had missed anything and does it with a little pizzazz, a little personality,

kind of makes those little wisecracks about how he's a little bit of a booze bag, and he's always going to go straight to the bar whenever Tiger sucks. Well, he just didn't tweet anything out about Sherwood when Tiger, the last time the Hacker played, which has never ever happened before. Never, never happened before ever. Now, Master's Week, I was thinking like Tiger Woods obviously playing. He's a defending champion what's going on here. He just tweets out The Undertaker give this morning,

waking up back and then tweets out a little bit about what's been going on says so before we get into the fun stuff we need to have some real talk as you know golf channel is in the midst of significant change it's a big reason why i was m ia for the zozo the first time in years tiger woods teed up and i wasn't there not my intention but it happened to those that reached out in recent weeks of messages concerns for my whereabouts or questions about the status of my liver thanks. I read them all and they meant a ton. Where things go from here remains to be seen. There's a strong chance the future involves a hiatus for me in this account, but for now, we are here, no matter how things play out, know that there was no chance I was going to miss

Tiger bleeping woods defending the green jacket, which is pretty much an awesome and perfect thing to say. I think a lot of people were hypothesizing if this was going on, golf channels cutting, laying people off, moving and consolidating up to Connecticut, and then all of a sudden, you know, Tiger Tracker account, which is Golf Channel Tiger Tracker, just doesn't tweet during a Tigerwood tournament. Two things had to be related. Clearly they were.

You would think that, like, golf channel has to figure out how to be able to make it a no-brainer to keep this account. I mean, the account has more followers than, like, anything Golf Channel does or anybody that's on Golf Channel. I was going to say it has more followers than the goals. Golf Channel personalities, all of them combined. I mean, it's got 430,000 followers, something like that. Like, that's a huge, huge Twitter account.

And it's very, very popular. Like, if you, it's actually one of the few Twitter accounts anymore that's not news related, that is using Twitter, how Twitter is supposed to be used, where he's just updating people on what is going on for something that a lot of people care about. We all use Twitter like, hey, look at this funny thing I thought of. or like promoting something, whatever. He is using it to give people information on something that they otherwise wouldn't have.

Like, he's just tweeting every single shot that Tiger hits, and that is incredibly valuable for the people who maybe aren't near TV, they're working a 9 to 5, Tiger's not on, maybe the TV coverage hasn't started yet. He uses Twitter in a way that is incredibly valuable to the people who want to know what Tiger Woods is doing. That is such a good point, because I've actually thought a bunch of different times in my life that, like,

there needs to be a tiger tracker for this and how is there not? Like, for example, like, my parents have a place in Boulder, Colorado, and they have, like, the fires going on there and everything. And we were, like, they're genuinely nervous at certain times, especially last time I was visiting, like, visiting the fires were going to get too close. I was scouring through Twitter of, like, wait, how are they not just, they're not just a Boulder fire tracker that's just, like,

updating exactly where the fires are where I need to be. And like, I'm sure if there was, I just couldn't find it or whatever. So I've been in multiple situations in my life where I've thought, like, how can there not be a tracker? And any time I need information on just what's going on with Tiger Woods, is he playing in this? Has he commented? As he may know, like, his thoughts or his reaction to this update about this term.

I've just tuned in to his Twitter account. I literally just searched his Twitter account on Twitter and I read through the last handful of tweets because I need to know what's going on. And that's so true that that is exactly what they created Twitter to do. Like in the original days, that's why you filed accounts because they just updated them like that. If you couldn't tune into something, now you could pretty much tune into a lot of things. So it's all different. But Tracker is as good as it gets. He's the best at his job, maybe in the world. And him being back this week for Tiger at Augusta, it's a good thing for the Masters. Now, I just took a look at the Tiger Tracker profile, which I, like, rarely do,

because I just can't wait for the tweets of, okay, you hit it like left center of the fairway or whatever. Is them adding Golf Channel to their profile Tiger Tracker new? Like, I don't remember that when my, like, my mental memory didn't remember that on their profile last. No, it's literally always been called Golf Channel Tiger Tracker. Has it? I wasn't sure of that either. And you could be right, Riggs. That's very possible. But that's got to be part of the disconnect there is where People go to Tiger Tracker and people don't know that it's a golf channel account. They just, they're going there to follow what's going on with Tiger. So maybe like a little bit more awareness that it's a golf channel account is what they're looking for.

I don't know. But I went to the profile as well and I wasn't sure if GolfChannel.com had always been in there or not either. Because it was always GC Tiger Tracker, but I never like in their profile, I never remember seeing Golf Channel. But anyways, could be wrong. I think that's been the bio for a long time, but I could be. be wrong about that as well. And my, I mean, look, we're like in the industry. We clearly know people.

We talk to people. I reached out about two Golf Channel and our connections about what's the situation didn't get much back. But from hearing from other people, like the way that I understand golf channel Tiger Tracker is not necessarily that it is one human being. My understanding is that it is a group, potentially two, potentially three or four, I'm not sure, like writers within Golf Channel who came up with this idea to start an account to track Tiger Woods. And, you know, whoever happens to be on the case that week sort of runs the account while doing their other duties within Golf Channel.

And that a lot of the issue now and the reason that the account went dormant during Tiger's last tournament was that there's a little bit of conflict or negotiation or whatever you want to call it, about the ownership of the account, what to do with the account, how to handle the account. And I don't, I have no idea how true or untrue any of that is. But again, my, like if you had to ask me,

what is your best guess as to what the hell is going on with this account? That has never, ever missed a Tiger tournament. That is now just not tweeting about Tiger. And then when it does reemerge, tweets things about like the business and the fact that it might be taking a hiatus and these different things. That's my best interpretation and guess.

A lot of its guesswork on the entire situation. So I have no real clue what could happen with the account. Like people were tweeting at us. We got a higher tiger tracker. Like, I don't even know if you can't. Like, I don't know how. It's just they present the whole thing as like the person is just a mysterious. Like they give the guy a mob voice, which was our idea that we came up.

That was our idea. I was going to say that. I couldn't, I'm trying to remember the specifics of it. But I remember early on you and I talking, and we were like, you know, it would be great if we brought Tiger Tracker on to interview him, but we gave him the mob voice so nobody knew who he was. And then sure, and we might have emailed somebody at some point. Yes. We told Golf Channel. We told our friends at Golf Channel who, the person who I believe I spoke to is a good friend of ours who's gotten us great guests and we have a reconnection.

Right. But I was set to them like, hey, we love to have Tracker on and put him on like that fucking scramping. Ramble voice technology, whatever it is, and we'll interview Tracker about his job. It would be amazing. And he's like, that's a pretty idea. I'll get back to you. And then like a couple weeks or months later,

they just popped up a fucking podcast interview. We're like, what the hell's going on here? But anyways, just my best guessing and knowledge of the entire situation, I think it's a group or a few people. I think they started this account. I think there's a lot of different stuff going on with a golf channel from cuts to layoffs and that there's a,

some strife about ownership, about direction, and what to do with this account, that is incredibly valuable. Like having 440,000 followers on Twitter that get incredible engagement is a very valuable asset to have. Right, because you've got four, like, whatever percentage it normally is for, like, how tuned in a follower is to a Twitter account, the Tiger Tracker is that times whatever. Like it's people that's 430,000 followers. If that's how many it has, I don't remember, that's that number of people who are following that account for that reason. Like that's,

that's just an insane like follower loyalty that they're going to have to figure out what to do with. Right. And so again, I could see like if you, if it was your idea within Golf Channel or you are, if I'm wrong, and there is a one tiger tracker and you created this account and you ran it and drove it all way up to the popularity that it is next, and then you had some issue with your company or they're going to lay out. I imagine you'd probably push back.

I'd be like, no, that's my. I fucking made that. Like, what do you mean? So that, I think, is all playing into what's going on. Regardless, Tracker is back. He tweeted about Tiger's round. Tiger only hit it to a foot on 11, hit it to about five feet on 18 to a backpin, ho-hum.

Nice good, easy nine holes with his boys, walked off and went straight to the putting green. So sounds like he saw some good things from Tiger Woods, and Tiger Woods looked great. So overall, I feel pretty good about Tiger's chances, all things considered. Sergio Garcia tested positive for COVID-19. He famously had a quote from back, and when we first got the restart going, about how, like, some people deserve COVID. He said, I can't remember you that quote, but he had that. So a few people were resurfacing that quote.

I mean, getting COVID at this point, it's like, it's just a lot of people, it's a super contagious global pandemic. So a lot of people are just going to get COVID-19. Sucks that he got arrived before the Masters. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. It's worst case scenario. This is a scenario that every pro golfer is avoiding at all costs. Like there, obviously you want to play in all the tournaments.

You want to try and make money. That's how they make your living. But if I were a pro golfer leading up to this tournament, I would, I'd be quarantined in a basement room somewhere. not talking to anyone. Like for Sergio, it's a little different because he got that green jacket a couple of years ago. He's played in a millionies. I think this is the first major tournament. He's going to miss in what, 21 years they said? But like, imagine being a first time guy. Like that, if you're, if this is your first masters and all this is going on, you just have to stay away from

everyone. So what happened to Sergio does not happen to you because that would be devastating. It's devastating for Sergio, but it would be more devastating for someone who has not played in a master's yet. So I was thinking about this too. So I think it's the first major he's missed in 73 consecutive majors, which is a shocker. And it's obviously very unfortunate. If Tiger, God forbid, the cat, as Pat Perez says, gets COVID. He tests positive. I mean, he's got to have access to seven retests.

I mean, people are like the tour is not allowing Tiger to get COVID and miss this thing. Like TV ratings, everything's just not allowing that. Florida has never been doing with the Masters, which is amazing. Sorry. Nick Saven was back on the sidelines after like two days, right? He was just, he no longer had coronavirus. I mean, Trump was back after like three days. So, I mean, I feel like if you're, if you need to get back or at some point,

if you have the level or power to do it, I think you can just do it. I think Tiger would probably be back and they would have something like you're saying, like massive amounts of tests with a false positive. The one thing that scared me today is one of those memes were going around. And it was like, it was. It just said breaking news. There was a picture of Tiger, smiling with a fucking finishing a club, finishing a swing. It said, Tiger Woods has tested positive today in Augusta National for being the best fucking golfer of all time, like in real small letters.

But, like, you really had to read the whole thing until I was, my heart stopped. I'm like, holy smokes. Somebody tweeted that at me during this show while we were recording. And I thought I was going to bust through the screen and break news. Like, we got a situation here, but it was that meme that you're talking about. I don't like that. I don't like that. Don't play with my emotions like that this close to the master's.

I will say that I'm going to knock on wood before this, but I feel like in this, he could get it. You know, anybody can get it. I feel like Tiger Woods would be one of the least likely people to get it because, like, he's just trying,

living the most private life he can possibly try to live. Like, he's not just out and about in restaurants, like bopping around, running with people. Like, he's Tiger fucking Woods. Dude, Tiger's been quarantined since 2000. Hanging out on his little privacy.

Yeah, he's this, yeah, he's been training for this for two decades. He legit, like, lives in his private island with his private practice area. And then he gets in his private jet and goes to his suite where he gets off in his private yacht is like waiting at the dock for him. Like, he's literally been quarantining since 2000. So I think hopefully he should be fine. But yeah, that meme, when I see that now, even though you guys told me about it, it's going to melt in me tomorrow to be very frustrated about it. So hopefully that doesn't happen.

Speaking of melting, they say that 90% of golf is mental. We talked about those guys melting down on the golf course today at the Barsoe Classic. We're under with five to go and they shot two over and missed the cut by one. Means that the smallest issues can have a big impact on your scorecard.

Real quick, before we go on to something else on Bryson, is there any part of us, and I know the whole world is I'm hopping on this fucking train like you wouldn't believe. But like when you look at his stats, like, I know he's a completely different player now. Are we giving him too much just because of all the hype of his swing and how hard he's

hitting the ball and far? When like at Augusta, he only has, what is it, like three rounds under par career? I think he's like a career plus four at Augusta National. one round below 70 all time. Like the guy has never performed well at Augustin National. We're just like, I'm walking around here, pines, being like it's pricing or nobody this week. The guy's never even come close.

I guess it's the potential of it, right? It's potentially... It's interruptive. Yes. Okay. I'm just making sure. I think so too, but like I don't know if we're getting crazy. Well, let me say this.

So I would agree with you if it weren't for... looking at something like the U.S. Open. Like at the U.S. Open, he went, in 2015, he went cut, then T-15, cut, T-25, T-35, and then he won. So it's like, because we all, like, I put out a tweet right before the U.S. Open started, where I was like, yeah, let's see him do this with the ruff or something like that when he was swinging like an asshole at Wingfoot, and then he just went out and won the damn thing by six shot. So like, I would have agreed with you for sure, and I would very much if the U.S. Open just didn't happen, and he was still hitting as far as he is, he was still doing the 200-mile-hour

swings or ball speed. He was still doing the carry at 400-yard videos, but I hadn't seen him win the U.S. Open. I'd be saying the same thing. I'd be like, oh, remember Trevor Lillan came on the show? He talked about how your wed and your iron play to hitting it on the bright shelf as all it matters in Augustus, so why the fuck would Bryce and be just? He just, he just, he, he, just embarrassed Wingfoot so much that I have no choice but to be all in on him embarrassing Augustin Ash. And no, like, there's no difference in the fact that, like, U.S. opens are held at different venues each year and stuff.

Like, that's probably a good point. I'm thinking, like, if this guy has played this course and he's never really done anything on it, maybe, is it like the course that gets to him? Is it the vibes of Augusta? I don't know. Just something, like, I'm just something in the back of my head. Like, do you even, like, what if Bryson just has? has a horrible, horrible outing this week.

You can probably make some money on that, right? Like him like missing cut or something. Like is Bryson just going to shock the world this week and just not perform well? Is he not perform well? Augustine, no matter how fucking far he gets it? It could happen. But the way he's going to play it this time around, it might as well be a different golf course.

Right. I feel like all stats are out the window for pre-Hulk Bryson. Yes. I agree. He's a different human being these days. Like, that's where I think the credit goes. And then I think Riggs is spot on with his point. Like, the whole world was different.

And then he won the U.S. Open. And so now you have to give him that benefit of the doubt. And, like, he just, if he's really going to drive it this well, it doesn't, like, he doesn't even have to hit it that close. He doesn't even have to put it that well. And he's already, you know, 16 under par the beginning of the week. Like, he's playing par fives. He's hitting seven irons and pitching wedges.

and shit into par five. Like, even if he hits a bad pitching wedge, he'll hit it to 30 feet. He should two put that. And like, now that's just an easy birdie. And that's him after him saying he hit like a bad pitch of way. So it's just like he's going to, I don't know, he's going to be able to just like make birdies.

And you're right. Like he could, if he does struggle on his approach shots or he doesn't really drive with that straight, like, of course he could just miss the cut. That's kind of the beauty of golf is that like, we've been joking a lot lately about with baseball, about how like the best batters in the world fail 70% of the time. Well, like in golf, the best players of all time fail like 95, 98% of the time

you don't win on doors. So it's like if he went out there and just didn't have a great week and didn't perform, it would not be that surprising. It would just be very disappointing, I think. Right, because we've talked about it. I mean, he has been in every show, I mean, every outlet's talking about. about him. You can't not talk about Bryson or talk about the Masters this year without talking about Bryson. So it would be, it would be a letdown if he just missed the cut. I'm hoping he doesn't.

I know we go back and forth on Bryson all the time, but just for sheer theatrics, I'm hoping that he makes it to the weekend. Yeah. And like, I hope he makes it, he needs to be, he needs to be in fucking contention. Like, we need Bryson to shambo in contention, even if he doesn't deliver, even if he fails miserably, you know. And like, imagine even what it would do if he's bombing all these drives and he's got the lead. And then it's like a finesse shot on the, you know, the 12 hole with like a pitching wedge where he goes right at the pin and spins it off the front end of the water and goes

in. Like, imagine the storylines that that would deliver and all of the chatter afterwards about how like, not in a ghost study, you can't get like, there's always going to be those types of things. But you can't have it. If he just goes out and struggles and misses the cut, then it's just like, it's almost people aren't even going to, it's not going to be worth talking about. But then, I mean, we haven't even mentioned so many different names that, like,

John Rom has been playing phenomenal golf over this year. Dustin Johnson, when he had his best chance probably to win the Masters, just withdrew because he fell down the stairs the day before a couple of years ago. We've got Justin Thomas, who, like, I think I was talking on last week's show, and Frankie's been picking him every week this entire year to win. Like, Justin Thomas at some point will win a Masters, and it might as well be this. like Rory's trying to close out the career grand slam.

Like, why couldn't he just win? Like he's got, who knows, it might be the fact that now he's got a child, he's a dad, that he's kind of got like this new perspective on life and he goes out. He could easily just win the Masters by six shots and nobody would be surprised. So there's so, it feels like there's not so many guys, but that there are 12 legitimate guys that if someone said their name, you could make a really easy case for them winning the master's. I got myself in one of my classes situations where I was having a debate with someone about

about the Masters and I said that Bryson was going to win it's Tiger Bryson or nobody and then someone said well like what about ROM and I was like he won't even make the top 10 and like it just came out of me now I'm backing that and I have to hit that with everything that I have I may if there's a bet like that when we go to the Barclos Sports book I'm going to play it. I don't know why. I have absolutely no proof or anything or any stats or any feeling as to why. I'm just betting and I'm thinking, I'm mentally preparing myself and I'm just seeing it. Like you just have to make it happen in your brain that John Rom will not crack the top 10 of the master. That's just my bold prediction. God. I hope so.

Bold prediction. He's going to finish in 13. I don't know. I don't know why. I hope he wins the tournament so badly. Yeah. This clip will just be so perfect, Frankie Burley. Make sure that when we put out this clip, and if he wins, I'm saying I have absolutely no idea why I'm saying. And I kind of got bullied into saying. I just like fucking just flirting it out there. I was like, I couldn't be like, hold on, let me go back.

I said the wrong name. Like the guy very well may well win this thing. Very well may win this thing. Very well may win this thing. Very well. May I win this thing. Fuck. It's a full-time job living up there, huh?

Bro, I said, I did something today, and I wish, I don't know who was with me. Was Brendan with me? Fucking, someone was with me on Dude Wipes Hole today, and I was running down that hill. I was doing an ad, and I was running down, I was snowballing down the hill. I said something, oh, I said, okay, so I'm like, all right, dude wipes, cleanliness, golf courses, fucking wipes, the whole thing. I'm like, this guy's over here. He's taking a dude wipes.

And the guy was actually wiping his face, like the player. I'm like, no, look at you. You're trying to be all cleanliness and cleanly. I'm like, you feel cleanly right now? And he's like, what? I'm like, is it clean or is it clean? And he's like, it's just, bro, I just feel clean. I'm like, why is there some guy yelling at me right now?

I'm like, I literally looked at the camera. I'm like, I don't want to be on this egg anymore. Turn off the fucking phone. we're out of here. I think that went live. I think that video actually made it to the internet some mass. So yeah, I found myself in those shitty situations. Sportsbook, we are coming up with some prop bets that I think people are going to enjoy.

In terms of the, you know, Overs Club root for the course type thing, there's a little something happening that I hope we can execute and make come to exist. which, again, like, it's a major championship. You always root for the golf course, and the Masters isn't necessarily that way as much as probably the other three majors. Having said that, like, nobody wants to tune in to Augusta National and see that the leader is like 21 under bar. Like, nobody.

You want to see single digits under. You want to see the winning score be high, not low. just what we root for. It's major championship golf. We like when it's humbling out there. We like when it's relatable golf content that you get because guys are struggling against this golf course. We are going to have a bet where you pick the winning score. You take the over in terms of like it's going to be harder and you root for that damn golf course, don't we? That's one. Another one that I want to come up with that hopefully we can execute upon is total balls in the water on the 12th hole. Now we did this for the 17th hole a few years ago. It's like me large a couple of our buddies.

And we bet it was like 70 or something balls in the water for the entire week on 17 at sawgrass for the players' championship. And every time they pan to a motherfucker and he misses the green it goes in the water, you just get to go crazy. It is so enjoyable. So we're going to have prop bets like that going pretty much the entire weekend. And like I said earlier, I'm pretty pumped up to bet and gamble and watch the Masters. I, as excited as I am for the Barstville Classic Championship tomorrow, we talk a lot about it. The second that that puppy ends, and I get to just turn on live from, I get to just immerse myself in Masters for the entire rest of the week, it's going to be such a highlight. It's something I thought about.

I'm getting, I get to play catch up, which is exciting. Like, I'm going to probably go rewatch every fucking word that Brando Chambly has said about Augusta and about every player in the field so far this week because I haven't gotten to do any of that. So I know a lot of other people were probably as deep in that game as you could be at this point. We're not yet because we've been busy with this damn thing. But it's Masters Week. Again, none of these bets are finalized. But all my Zach Johnson, all you people who want to ride with the needle, get ready. And if you're against us, fuck you.

But if you're with us, it's time to put your money where your mouth is with the needle. Barstool Sportsbook potentially look forward to it. If you love Zach Johnson like I do, get ready. And as always, a reminder, Pennsylvania only 21 months, the whole gambling thing. We will be responsibly gambling in Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, at the Barso's Sports Book House. I've been there many times. I've been there with Dave.

I've been there with all the guys. And it is a fucking fun time. You got like eight screens right in front of your face with all these reclining chairs and you just watch. I mean, I'm assuming for most of the days, we're just going to be half. It's just going to be all green. Thursday and Friday, just all the screens will be green. And it's just going to be like masters.

And then I think Saturday there's some big football games going on. Is it Michigan, Wisconsin? this weekend. Yeah. So Big Cat and Dave will be there and we're going to have the Masters on and you know they're going to be chirping us about Tiger and it's we're going to be on the live stream. It'll be a lot of fun. We have to get the over's bet in. If there's some scenario in which we're getting a green overs club jacket, I don't know how

that's not the most like bet thing in the world in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. That's great. Like that's, that would be crazy. We have to make it something that's really like it comes down to Sunday, right? like the number has to come down to Sunday and it also has to be like somewhat getable and also somewhat like a miracle it hit. Like it's got to be like

that fine line because like overs like the overs club one is always like holy shit you're out of it and then like in the fourth quarter you're like holy shit that was a fucking punt return. We're in it. The overs club's alive and then somehow the tweets are coming like let's go let's go and they hit so and also

it can't be too easy because if the overs club is easy to get into everyone would be in it. Last year like if we if we do end up doing, which we're planning to do, is it going to be the winning score. Last year, Francesco Molinari was like 13 under on the 12th T. And you're thinking at the time, like, if 13 under was like the score that you would pick, it's like 4 to be high, like, okay, if he just parsed this hole, he's got 13, he's got 15, he can make birdies that, we're fucked.

And then he just hits it in the water. And you're like, we're back in the tournament. So I hope we are able to nail the number and get it right. and then from there we can we can obviously figure it out and hopefully you know we've had Jake Jake's bad tweets texting us saying that we can't pick the lines that's not what I meant I'm not saying we should I meant finding a bet in which it's getable or not getable like whatever that is whatever that threshold is not picking I'm not sitting in a room fucking picking lines Lord of mercy Jake did say regulators decide it we don't decide the

lines oh really Jake I think I don't know, making me think I got like fucking people knocking on my door, but I'm excited to go to Philly. I have not been to the gambling house yet, but it looks fucking cool. Yeah, I haven't here. All right, we got a whole other show before then. We'll be back on Thursday. We'll be able to break down what happened on Championship Tuesday at the Barstall Classic.

We'll be able to get much more even into Augusta National talk, into Masters 2020 talk. So get siked, get pumped. Go check out our merch as well. We got all kinds of Pinehurst, Barstpool Golf merch. You have green-themed merch that you can check out store. Dot barstrelsport.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you to Jake.

As much as we like to bust his balls. Thank you to e-bug. You guys work your asses off. Frankie, you gave a little smirk there, which I like. Oh, I burp. It was a burp. Yeah, it wasn't a smirk. I love this.

Showing his gratitude, you know, just a quick burp in there. Although I've been housing loaded mac and cheese. I was hoping. I hope you're going to try to eat weight. wings during the podcast. Just over there with the top. So good. I'm trying to retain as much as much as a other game.

Gotcha. We're a podcast. I'm afraid of what those things look like underneath that tin top. I would smash those things. I'm so hungry. I can't wait until I go make a old dinner. Huge. You have to eat five of those plates.

Oh, that'd be so good. Win and paddle? Yeah. Okay. Oh, congratulations. Thank you. We're back on Thursday, everybody. All right.

Look forward to it. See, boys. Hit it hard. Hit it hard. Hit it hard. Hatter hard. Masters week. Let's go.
