Starting point is 00:00:00 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. I would look at Pastor all the time and look at, you know, there's stuff that they post. Some of it's like absolutely stupid, but some of it's actually quite amusing and funny. Stuff like that is what we need to get people to attract people to the game of golf. Nice to be here, boys. Congratulations on all that you're doing is as mediocre as it is. After watching this year, I'm very much thinking about getting So I have a fusion surgery.
Starting point is 00:00:33 Skip that. You know, just keep it together. Thank you, Tyre. You appreciate it. Bye. Hey, Frankie, I just don't butter knife my wedges like. Oh! These newer, younger, hipper platforms, like Barstools 40.
Starting point is 00:00:47 Tigers had the three back surgeries. He's had one fusion. We welcome in from Barstall Sports. Riggs and Trent. Guys, welcome to the show. You didn't clap, Lurt? That's unbelievable. I was making sure my quick time was up.
Starting point is 00:01:03 Four players are my virtual sports. We're just doing it. I think we're just doing it. I think that's how we started to show. Our new audio thing, we're trying to get it with our local audio and our better audio. And we tried to clap. We looked at the world clock. We had this whole plan.
Starting point is 00:01:15 We picked a minute. And Lurch, you just didn't clap. Well, because then Frankie was like, oh, is the quick time audio working? Because we don't usually sync the two things up. Then I checked that. And then it was a quick clap, honestly, for waiting five minutes for Riggs to add the quotes in. And then all of a sudden we were a go zone in like a second and a half. So, you know, I mean, yeah, maybe it's a little bit on me, but, you know, we could have waited another five seconds.
Starting point is 00:01:37 It was a hundred percent. The biggest thing is because the biggest thing is because the reason why we're doing the clock look is because when you look through a zoom, it's all going to be somewhat delayed. But your first instinct was to look up and clap with us, which is quite literally why we're doing the clock look. You know what I mean? Right. No, but I was doing the check to quick time on my computer. And then it was clap. And it was, you know, then I was doing this thing.
Starting point is 00:01:58 like I don't know why my head goes forward when I clap but that's just part of it. It's Sunday night. It is Sunday night. It sure is Sunday night. Yeah, we're doing things. My face is a catcher's man. You've got. You've got.
Starting point is 00:02:08 You can't. Your face. It's very clear. It's incredible. My face will fall off in the next three days because right now it's just leather. It's all leather. I put on sunblock. I was even going high with my numbers in sunblock.
Starting point is 00:02:25 I was using like 40 and 50 for protection. and it just, it didn't work, it didn't take. And, yeah, I was in the sun for too long. Florida's the sun is hotter than wherever I else. I will say, it was beautiful. Well, you're in Florida, aren't you? I was going to say it was beautiful in the New York and New Jersey area. I thought maybe you were out and about, but you're down.
Starting point is 00:02:42 No. You're down in Florida. Mom got married. Shout out my mom. Congratulations. Pretty sweet. Mazel to. We got a lot to get to.
Starting point is 00:02:49 I'm in Florida as well. I just got here, Tampa, Florida. We got two, the first two bars to a classic events. We have 26 qualifiers across 19 different states. We're doing Innesbrook, the island course. So we're kicking it off. When people essentially listen to the show, we've already done the Monday one. We're recording Sunday night because I'm going to be busy all day tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Joel Damon, our guy, got the win. He got his first PGA tour win. He was very emotional over in Punta Kana. He, you know, he grinded it out. He was kind of struggling on the back nine, trying to piece it together, trying to keep it together as windy as tough conditions. And boom, he has not been playing well either of the show. year like just clearly not playing well he said that afterwards and um you could clearly tell from
Starting point is 00:03:32 social media one of the more popular wins that i can recall especially for uh an opposite field of them i mean you're still beating all guys that are on the pga tour but he gets a two-year exemption on the pgat tour just not get into the masters but he does get into the tournament of champions so it's life-changing it's like legitimately life-changing joel we met for the very first time at mesa before we teed off which you know like it's not like that with all the other pros kids we knew extremely well before we played him. Pat Perez, we knew extremely well before we played him. Joel Damon just rolled up, started drinking, you know,
Starting point is 00:04:01 some selters, I think, right away, and had himself a hell of a day. And is as good of a dude as you could possibly have. It was emotional watching him get choked up, but big win for one of our guys. Him saying it's him saying it's really hard to win a golf tournament
Starting point is 00:04:16 is, like, weirdly profound, because we talk about people on this show all the time. We talk about Tiger Woods all the time. We're talking about Justin Reed. We're talking about Patrick Reed. We're talking about about Brooks Kepp, we're talking about all the greatest players in the world. And they sometimes... Who else are we talking about, who else are we talking about? Who else we're talking about? All these great players
Starting point is 00:04:34 where I would... You named like eight people. I was there. You're going to name them all? You're going to name everyone in golf tournament? Justin. Justin was unbelievable. I'll list all the fucking names, you motherfuckers. I'll list all of them if you want me to. All right. Yeah, we're ready. No, no. They, like, it's
Starting point is 00:04:51 winning a golf tournament almost. It doesn't seem easy, but we've normalized these guys who are so good at winning that it does seem like, oh, it's just another week. Oh, you know, JT wins the players, but he's already won a million other golf tournaments. But for a guy like Joel Damon, who we know very well and is a genuinely awesome and great guy, and for him to be like, it's fucking hard to win golf tournaments,
Starting point is 00:05:10 puts it in perspective because we've seen him play up close and we know how good he is. And then to take that and for him to be like, it's really hard to win out here. I know that I'm a PJ tour player, but it's still really hard. I thought it just put it, like, it seemed like a simple and funny and, like,
Starting point is 00:05:24 funny quote, but it really, I thought it said more just about how hard it really is to win a golf turn. Yeah, it was, it was him saying it right after he just did the thing that he said is really hard to do, right? Like, he's, he just won a golf tournament. So in theory, this is when your brain should be thinking it's actually the easiest time to think about winning golf to ring because you just won a golf tournament. And his reaction was so genuine. You're right, of just like, man, it's really freaking hard to win a golf tournament. And he got it done.
Starting point is 00:05:50 It was, it was so emotional. Like he was getting, like he did a little like skip. jump, like, right after he hold his putt of, like, he just was so incredibly excited. So it was all the quotes. His caddy Gino putting the text out that he got from Joel to, like the Sunday night before they left for the tournament, that Joel was just like, hi, like, good morning. You know, I'm ready to go. I'm tired, but I'm really good at golf, so don't worry about it.
Starting point is 00:06:18 And then they, like, roll up and he wins the damn tournament. And a lot of other stuff coming out just, Joel is, is the man he's super genuine he's down to earth not a single person has a bad word to say about that guy and for him to be playing like shit you know he's telling me that he went i think he had buddies bachelor party or something in Vegas last weekend did like a 48 hour bender reset and then he comes and wins so it was just awesome it's also crazy because like when we played against him he just didn't have his best stuff like i think he was like one over through like five holes or something at mesa which usually by that time he's like three under so it's it's true
Starting point is 00:06:54 truly incredible that that golfer won a professional golf tournament because like what we saw the joke was like no we're just playing against his like twin brother dan that's just an eight hand attack because he just didn't have his best stuff um but yeah shout out to him because i mean winning once is just life-changing all the tournaments you get to enter i mean it's just it's like a parachute package for every pGA tour player like you know from that point on you're just you're gonna have money things are going to be good yeah we were doing the whole bit where we were like what was it danny damon that was we were playing against which was you know his brother because there's no way this guy's on the PGA tour
Starting point is 00:07:26 and then he turns it around and legitimately wins. I mean, he beating guys like Graham McDowell's out there. I think he's a U.S. Open winner and he was in the mix. And he just won a PGA Tour event. That same fucking guy just won a PGA Tour event. So it was really cool.
Starting point is 00:07:39 Obviously, the match play will get to Owens Mixers. We've got to get to first. We get transfusion Thursday coming up on Thursday. I'm noticing, man, people are out and about a lot more. You guys are getting nice weather up in the Northeast. I'm seeing a lot of transfusion. starting to get tagged more and more and more, and the feedback is fantastic. So go get yourself some Owens.
Starting point is 00:08:00 They have figured out the cocktail game. You pour it in with your liquor, and you just have an awesome cocktail. You just have an awesome cocktail. It's that easy. Everybody wants a better drink. Everybody hates their drink order. Trent's done a whole thing about how he doesn't even think people like whiskey, but people drink whiskey.
Starting point is 00:08:12 So a lot of people just drink something that they just, it's a go-to, it's a habit. They're not that excited about it. Well, Owens, you go to Owensmixers.com, you do the transfusion, you do the mint, cucumber in lime and all of a sudden you have an awesome cocktail it's a great thing so big thanks some guys sent us a really really nice picture a lot of people sent us pictures but one guy sent us a very organized picture this weekend and i'm sure you guys saw tours owens mixers then a little thing in new amsterdam owens mixers a little thing in new amsterdam like it just look great um so yeah if you if you pack something like that send us a picture and i'm sure we'll retweet it like you like you
Starting point is 00:08:45 a lot more people are out there drinking because it's starting to get nice out it is starting it's got some good weather up there don't you is it does it feel good yeah it's like Friday and Saturday was one of those like, holy shit. Like, let's get some drinks flowing. Let's get some Owens crack. Let's get those little nips out. I'm not talking about the ones on your chest. I'm talking about the little New Amsterdam nips.
Starting point is 00:09:05 It was just a really good reset on your brain in New York, I feel like. This is, I think we've really needed this weather in spring. I think everyone's brain. It was almost felt like a movie scene where people were walking out of their house and just like looking up at the sky being like, oh my god the sun it just felt so good to drive around with with your windows down listen to some music and it felt like life again yeah i opened my uh my open my windows in my apartment and new york city had that buzz there was a little bit of a buzz going on below which was it was just nice to hear again you know it's obviously been a crazy outside time you opened your windows you like you act
Starting point is 00:09:44 like you just like drove around the country no i i did open my windows but i also i went when i went got coffee, I wouldn't sat in this nice little, like, park area. So I got out there. I was amongst the people. But like, you sat in the park area. What did you, we just thought about stuff? What did you do? Yeah, I do that more often than I probably even let on.
Starting point is 00:10:02 Like, there's just like this little area by my apartment that has benches and it's like a nice, there's some greenery. And I just fucking sit there. It's, it's fantastic. Now all I can think about is you sitting there with like a newspaper in your eyes, like on the bridge of your nose, just kind of like, you know, being an old time. We're just enjoying the day. I am. Sometimes I just have a nice ice coffee and I enjoy the day. Dude, when nowadays, when the sun's out, it's so weird. I feel, obviously we've been all these places, Vegas, California, Arizona, like doing these videos. But there was something about the other day, Friday and Saturday, where I felt like it was the first time I had felt sun in like a year.
Starting point is 00:10:37 I know. It was so strange. Maybe it's because, like, New York, the weather hasn't been great. And it's obviously been a fucking bat shit like 15 months for everybody. But just having sun hit you and people were buzzed. And it was, it was a nice weekend. that first day when you live in the northeast and you get those weather that first weekend day whatever it is when you get really nice weather it feels like you've turned the corner there is just a buzz i will say in arizona on Thursday they lifted the mask mandate so businesses are not required like there's just no mask mandate so people were out in arizona and it felt like and again it's like if it's at your own risk if you're not comfortable with that don't go outside
Starting point is 00:11:17 totally understand all that but for the people that were out, it felt like the world was as normal as I've felt it in a year. And it was the same kind of thing. There was just a buzz around town everywhere that you went. Well, dude, you can even see. You're about to go crazy. When, like, when this, like, people are going to go. The whole world has cat and fever.
Starting point is 00:11:35 Are you? Right. Frankie, what is it? The Roaring 20s? Every time I say that, for some reason, lurch, like, smirks and giggles at that one, but I think there's some truth to it. I think there's some truth to the Roaring 20s analogy. I mean, you've only said that a couple times.
Starting point is 00:11:49 Yeah, and a couple times I've gotten like a little like, okay response from you, but I think that people... No, I don't give an okay response. I like that. I think people are going to spend more money. They're going to take more trips. They're going to want to eat out when they're usually these like boring, lazy people. Like they've had a year and a half to be boring and lazy. I'm looking right at you, Trent.
Starting point is 00:12:10 I can feel it. You know, instead of sitting there, open up your window, you're going to go out to that park a little bit more. Maybe they'll even go to that nice mom and pop coffee shop instead of the Starbucks next time. because they just opened for the first time in 15 months. There's going to be thoughts about that, I think, a new way of thinking in the world, which I think, oddly, is going to be a good thing that came out of the pandemic. You know what I mean? It's almost like a clean, like restart, a refreshment on our brains, on how to live life
Starting point is 00:12:37 and have fun and appreciate things. You think we're going to be more appreciative of just everyday stuff? I hope so. I sure hope so. I know I am. Yeah, I agree with that. Something is simple. Like, I want to wait in line at a bar.
Starting point is 00:12:49 for a drink. I want to be aggravated that a bartender refuses to acknowledge my existence because I'm just in the mix. You know what I mean? Like, something that is the weirdest thing to be excited about I've ever heard. It's not. To be outside with a bar I get. To be your goal, like
Starting point is 00:13:05 just like you love the Islanders, you'd rather see the Rangers lose. Well, no. You want to be out and pissed off waiting for a drink. You're just missing my point. Like, I tried to pick the thing that I hated most about being at a bar and I want to do that so badly. Like, I used to fucking hate staying there, be like, this guy sees me, and he's just walking right by me.
Starting point is 00:13:25 I want to give you this money, and I want to drink the drink that you have behind that counter. You just refuse to let me. I used to fucking hate that feeling. You ever, like, raise your hand. You raise your hand. Sir. Yeah. Like, you're in class.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Sir, I'm over 21. I'm an adult, but I really want to see. Yeah. But you will, and you will, by the way, you will go back to hating that. But I think you're right. Like, the first couple times, whenever that happens for everyone, I think you will be like, oh, this is like, it feels getting the world's back to normal. I would pay a shit ton of money to be back in that spot that I didn't want to be in two years ago.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Yeah. Frankie, how many times do you think you'll appreciate waving in line for a drink and getting passed over? How many times? I think it's a one and done. I think there'll be a time where we're in a pack bar and there's going to be a really good sports game on, like a playoff game or something. There's going to be that buzz. I'm going to go get a round of drinks.
Starting point is 00:14:13 And we're like, holy shit, we're here. And I'm going to get past. I'm going to be like, it's happening. We're fucking here. And then that guy's going to pass me one more time. I'm saying, all right, you motherfucker. I've been staying here for 15 minutes out. The first time was fun.
Starting point is 00:14:24 Second time's a problem. Let's get this thing going. Let's get these drinks flowing. You know, you can even... The first time is a bartender who's a listener and just avoids you like the plague. Just literally back and forth. I mean, we have my... Yeah, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Oh, that's tough. I was going to... I hate being a part of this. I hate being part of that. I was going to say there's, I mean, there was crowds at the tournament this weekend at the WGC in 10. Texas. When there were hole in ones, which there were a couple this weekend, there were like legitimate roars. So things are kind of heading in that direction. Yeah, fans of tournaments, it's, I really will admit that I missed it. Like when they're back and there's excitement and there's actual reaction, crowd reaction when a good shot's hit, it's how things are supposed to be. And you can very much notice it. So it is awesome that the fans are back. You can hear them chime. It's all like, Paul Casey got to do it with like a drunk fan, which is like, we're back. Okay. We're pretty back. when golf fans are being too drunk
Starting point is 00:15:21 and the golfers are getting annoyed and they're doing things they shouldn't be doing. That means we're getting closer. So it's good. The match play, Austin Country Club, we talked about it last week, a pretty good amount, but it's awesome. It's so much fun to watch.
Starting point is 00:15:33 It's so much different. I think 99% of the time that any average normal golfer goes and plays golf, they play match play with their buddies. So, you know, the PGA tour, they only do it once. I mean, if you have an app factor in a team event, they do it twice a year.
Starting point is 00:15:47 presidents a writer cup and then the Dell match play. So getting to see these guys at the highest level play the same style of game that you play and have it be tweaked and different from what you see week in and week out is so fun to watch. Austin Country Club is a quirky bizarre golf course that, you know, it's Pete that. And it just delivers crazy shit out there where you see guys in the rocks. You see guys getting wild bounces. You see guys making horrific scores, good scores, crazy up and downs. And ultimately, we got a lot of good stuff, I would say, on Sunday, which we're going to get to.
Starting point is 00:16:25 Sunday was just like a drag and a grind. And you can tell from all of like golf media was kind of like, what are we doing watching this match? Because, you know, you had the hype from like Friday and Saturday when you had a bunch of, you know, you had playoffs on Friday. You had really intense matches to advance. You had fist bumps on like a Wednesday from John Ruff. So you had all that stuff that everybody was. super hyped about match play and talking about it should be a major that's match right and then by sunday when it was dragging and there weren't like the mega stars in it people were kind of like maybe
Starting point is 00:16:57 this is why we don't do match play every week okay okay because it was just a little bit of a slow ride on something what do you guys think about that the the social media buzz that they want to they would want match play to be a major like they want the PJ championship to be match play like what do you think that that was our girl page brannick got went a little yeah i see it everywhere i feel I see it everywhere. It was funny to see a lot of the pros I comment on. I know JT was like absolutely, comma,
Starting point is 00:17:24 100% comma, no. Just no chance would be the worst decision of all time. I mean, I definitely think it's cool to get the discussion going on like, yeah, it's a cool format, but for a major,
Starting point is 00:17:36 like I just, I don't know. Maybe I had different thoughts about it going, like, I think we've talked about this maybe like last year or two years ago where we were like, yeah, it'd be pretty cool if you did like,
Starting point is 00:17:46 whatever, the whole March Madness thing. I mean, that's literally what they have right now is the match play. And I just don't know that it would bring enough excitement coming down to the end. Like, you need that really big field. You need a guy hitting it in the water and someone who started the day in 18th or 19th, surging up the leaderboard on Saturday and Sunday and finishing for the win. Like, that is what a major is to me. I would never want to know the only two guys who could possibly win on Sunday going into Sunday.
Starting point is 00:18:15 It would be so stupid. Yeah, I mean, it's risky. It is very risky from an entertainment perspective. That's clearly why they don't do it. That's why they most likely never will do it. And today was that example of, like, you had Billy Horsal and Scotty Schaeffer who, you know, not like those guys are the most boring guys.
Starting point is 00:18:32 But they're not that excited. They weren't playing great golf. They were clearly, like, tired from the long week. And it just wasn't a great product. Like the Joel Damon win, I thought, was way cool to watch than almost anything I saw from the final round today in the matchplay. So, yeah, I think from a pure, like, integrity of the, you know, who should be the major champions argument or perspective, I could see how players Justin Thomas, et cetera, would not want match play because, as everybody talks about, like, one guy could go out and shoot even par and win his match. Another guy go out and shoot six under and lose his match.
Starting point is 00:19:05 And that's going to determine a major winner at the end of the day. So I get that. But then, like, the U.S. Amateur, which is, you know, Jack Nicholas considers his U.S. Amateur wins, like, M.S. Amateur wins. like majors and by the way Tiger Woods has more of them he won three Jack one too but he you know he considers that and that is match play and it's awesome like the stuff that we saw at band in last year or whatever was that a couple years ago when they were uh was that last year was that last year that was in August last year at band with those matches and what was going out at 18 we had the bunker incident um with the guy who we had on here like the match play for a huge tournament
Starting point is 00:19:38 is pretty fucking cool but it is just risky and it is you know when you're you dwindle field down like, okay, so on Saturday morning, there's going to be eight guys that could, like, win the tournament. That's like what we're going to ever say. You know, it's like, that's bizarre. Whereas you can have people charge and you can have, you know, we get at the masters every year. Like, when they make the turn, it feels like there's 12 guys that can win the masters every year. And you're just not going to have any of that. So, so yeah, I'm, I think I'm a little bit more on the side now of not doing it than I, that I was maybe even like a day ago. I guess the only thing is that like the PJs Championship has always been trying to figure out an identity that is that separates from the other three because the other three just have it like everyone gets excited for the other three not that the PG like everybody knows how I feel about the PJ Championship and if they just had it as a match play event that might get get more people excited about it but I understand everything you guys are saying is correct but I don't think it's I don't think it's the craziest idea I think it could definitely work especially yeah like I said the PJ Championship's been trying forever just to figure out what it is and if they're like it's a
Starting point is 00:20:41 match play event now that would certainly be an identity yeah would it just yeah like lose its luster like you can't have like the dream the naive approach is that you're going to have like j t versus rory in the final group and that just never happens the parodying golf is so much to the fact that like these guys just lose over the course of time i mean like in the aggregate of four days they usually score the best like you know rounds of golf and that's why they're the top golfers but you go up against a guy Victor Perez who shoots 63 and like you just lose that day. And so I think that's unfair. And I mean, I personally, I love it. Like for this event, the golf course is just such a matchplay golf course. Like it is so perfect for that event that I love it. I think there could be more tournaments that
Starting point is 00:21:28 do the matchplay. I think like the John Deere, you know, like do a match play there. Like just change it up. I think I love it. Just trying to get on the map in some in any way, John Deere. Just try. Just try. We're on the map. We're on the map. And then we're on it. Seeing guys give up or just be like, yeah, next hole. Like I lost this hole. I just think it's great because it is Buddy's golf, but they're just outrageously talented.
Starting point is 00:21:47 So I think it's a note for the PGA, but I think it's a yes for more events like this because I think it's great TV. What do you mean by it's a match play golf course? Well, you can drive, you can drive greens. There's a lot of like risk reward type holes. Yeah. So in that way. That makes sense. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:07 You can take more on or decide not to. And if, you know, if you guys, like, if there was just a regular course, right, they'd probably lay out. If it's a long, if it's a long straightaway course, they're both playing the whole the same way. Right. Like if it's Firestone or Torrey Pines, it's like they all just have to hit driver in a long iron and they do that over and over again. And whoever does it better wins. That makes sense. How long, how long has Billy Horshiel been doing this setup?
Starting point is 00:22:30 This like pre-shed. Weird, right? Dude, it was like, I honestly, Billy Harsall seems like a nice enough guy. I think we probably made fun of him a lot on the show in the past, but he seems like a nice, no guy. But like, I disagree. You think he seems like a nice guy.
Starting point is 00:22:43 He's not. I think, um, I think he's nice, but I do think he could snap on you. I think, yes, something could rub him the wrong way and he,
Starting point is 00:22:52 he could end up with the blood on his hands and he wouldn't know what happened. But like, yeah, his set of his pre-shy routine, it honestly like took away part of today. Like, every time they cut to him,
Starting point is 00:23:03 I'm like, this, I just, I can't, I can't watch this again. Did you see when he decelerated worse than I did at seven at Pebble Beach when he was on, I think like the sixth hole? And he hit maybe the worst professional shot I've ever seen in my entire life. I mean, like couldn't.
Starting point is 00:23:19 And he actually says after it, which is more of that like I think he could snap mentality where he did that weird maniacal laugh and talk to himself. He goes, ha ha, we are having fun out here, aren't we, Billy? Oh, you didn't even commit to that one. He literally said, he literally said, ah, that's funny. And it was like, yeah, that's, that's funny, Bill. Okay. Just burying that pain deep, deep inside and just not letting anybody see it. And that is some scary people.
Starting point is 00:23:48 We watched, we watched Bryson, you know, he topped a ball and Westwood shanked one out right and the whole thing. We've seen bad shots. Legitimately, I don't remember seeing something that shocked me more than that Horshel. It was like a half, it was like he forgot it. It was like he forgot how to play golf. He completely stopped his swing And he says he like gave up on it But I've never seen a pro do that
Starting point is 00:24:12 No that was the worst ball flight on a on a shot Like that was the closest like 30 40 HanyCap ball flight I've ever seen a shank Is like you're close you just barely hit the hazel And obviously the results horrific And like at top you're just a little You're groove too high like we get that That ball flight was like
Starting point is 00:24:31 It looked like that's just kind of how he hits it It looks like what What was that? It was awful. The camera angle, too, you saw the ball the whole way, and you just were like, dude, that is a fucking awful golf shot. But yeah, he's, I searched it real quick. And there's like several times that I've written the words,
Starting point is 00:24:50 fuck Billy Horschel, either on like barcelports.com or on Twitter.com. So, you know, we have either made fun of them or not been overly positive about him. And I don't really know what it is. I mean, yeah, it was the Greens at Chambers Bay. Everybody remembers that where he did the, the thing where he was bitching about the greens and that kind of rub people a lot the wrong way but I think it's deeper
Starting point is 00:25:10 than that I don't know what it is I can't pinpoint it he just doesn't seem like he's I don't know he doesn't seem like that likable I feel like people just in text groups and tweet are just like not Billy Horsal people dude I apologize so I did not see this shot I was playing pickle out of this tournament pickleball fun game this is the most
Starting point is 00:25:30 laughable worst shot I've ever seen in my life and to Transpoint He does say, ah, that's funny. Yeah. And just like the most condescending, like, no way I can do this way I've ever seen. And he's just like, oh, I never committed to it. Ah, that's funny. It is legitimately the worst ballpark was I've ever seen in my life on a professional.
Starting point is 00:25:49 I didn't like, to your point, what I would love to even know, like, what was the, like, intent? Like, what in your head when you were hitting that ball? Like, what did you think? Because it's short, left, weak, and ugly. It was ugly. It was just ugly ballpoint. That's right. It was like a shank is like kind of funny.
Starting point is 00:26:07 It's almost like giggly. This ball fight was just, it was like, ugh. I don't want to see that. It's like he's 85 with a bad back and can't swing. It was like what this shot looked like. Really bad. He won the fucking tournament. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:23 So should he be a major champion? Should that golf shot be a major champion? Yeah, that shot right there goes against any, you know, any sort of argument you can make for it to be a major. Yeah, that's fair. All right, guys, real quickly, we're going to get serious for a second. I know you probably can't believe that. The last year has been harder and a lot of people where you're just discussing it.

Starting point is 00:28:19 I'm going to keep that one on my tickler file. That's a very good one to have. That's a great adteried we do right there. That's just a good one. That's just good, wholesome stuff. It's messed up. Yeah. And if you're dealing with it, you need to talk.
Starting point is 00:28:32 For sure. I think that's a good ad rate. That's, you know, good job on the sales team. Yeah. I, um, I want on record that I like Scottie Sheffler a lot. I think he's just like a cool fucking customer. He's just, I, I don't know how much we've talked about on this show. And he obviously lost today and hit a couple balls in the water when he could not do that.
Starting point is 00:28:49 And that's pretty much why he ended up losing. But I like Scottie Sheffler a lot. And I think, I don't know. What do you guys think about Scottie Shuffler? He just seems like a cool. I like his game a lot. I love his game. Yeah, he's got like a cool.
Starting point is 00:29:00 He almost had, he's like a Cali fucking feel to him. Like, I know he's kind of Texas. Went to Texas. He's a fan favorite around there. I don't know exactly where he's from, but he almost has like a cool guy, Cali chill vibe to him. And he just seems extremely likable.
Starting point is 00:29:14 I know our guy Doug Gim was putting all over Instagram that he was rooting hard for him. They're there obviously boys. So, Scott, he's one of those guys. I mean, he's almost the opposite of it, Herschel. It's like, you watch that guy play five minutes, and you're like, oh, I fucking like this guy.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Okay, you don't know why. There's no, like, real rhyme or reason to it. He just comes off as extremely, likable, I think. He's got that, he's got that, like, relatable posture. He's got a big head. Everything about him feels like he could have just rolled out of, like, your buddy's car, and he met you on the first tee.
Starting point is 00:29:41 Yeah. You know, like a Scotty Schaeffler is a guy that your buddy brings to a foursome that, you know, he had a guy that wanted to play that day. You meet him, you like him. You end up following him on Instagram, and you guys become, like, somewhat, like, acquaintances, right? Like, that's a Scotty Shepler guy. You think you'd be liking his pictures?
Starting point is 00:29:57 Would you start liking his pictures? Uh, maybe that's a second round of God. Yeah, I think you might. Maybe if he does something topical that you guys both discuss, like if on the round he's like, oh, I'm going to Puttacana this week. And then you see a picture of him golfing in Putticana. Maybe you throw him a like because, like, you both shared that information the week prior. Or maybe when he puts up some sort of golf, it's the story, you slide in and you say,
Starting point is 00:30:19 boy, that place looks great. Hope you had to get that. Or just like, yeah, I hope you're playing better than you did last week or something like that, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, no, he's got, uh, yeah, he's got, yeah, he's just, very relatable. And I don't know, I never know what's going on with his feet. His feet
Starting point is 00:30:34 are all over the place. And every time he hits the ball, I think he slips. I've watched him a million times now, and I still think he slips. Squeaky, very squeaky. Yeah, he is. He's good. I will say that. He's had a hell of a first year and a half here, a couple of years. And he's got a great name. Scotty Shephardt. That's just like a likable name. Awesome name.
Starting point is 00:30:52 Basically, he's the anti-Billy Horschel. We wanted him. We wanted Scotty to win today. Yeah. He's got a great smile. He's always smiling. But he's a Texas guy. Didn't he, did he play with Speed? No, he's too young for Speed. Did he play with Jim?
Starting point is 00:31:07 Yeah, he played with Doug, I believe. Yeah. Okay. I feel like there was some Speed Sheffler overlap, and it could be something just that's massive that none of us are aware of. But I feel like there's something there. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Well, I would, I mean, they're both Texas guys, so clearly they're going to be, you know, they're going to be boys. But, but yeah, he's got a good, he's got a good vibe going about him. Kevin Kisner. Our guy, kids, had another great showing. He was two and one.
Starting point is 00:31:36 He got a little bit unlucky in that his group was like the one where on the final day he played another guy who defeated and Cochre and ultimately lost. But he had everybody kind of going in terms of Rider Cup talk, if you recall, at Leg Off National in 2018. You know, they didn't pick him. They picked Phil. I can't remember exactly who I think like maybe Reed was. one of the captain's picks to me. And the course was just perfect for Kiz. It was like you had to hit it in the fair way.
Starting point is 00:32:06 You obviously need to make putts in a matchplay rider cup type situation. So when Kiz who's got his record, he's the match play assassin, he won last year he finished second the year before, he won two years ago the last time they had the match play. He finished second to Bubba the year before. He's got a great matchplay record.
Starting point is 00:32:22 The President's Cup, he was awesome. And he had people going on the Ryder Cup, you know, pick. People were kind of buzzing about kids for the Ryder Cup. I still don't think they'll actually take them, which is infuriating. But man, I hope Kiz gets on that Ryder Cup team. It'd be awesome. I mean, he's done all he can do to prove himself as a fantastic match play guy. So if they don't want to pick him, whatever, but they should pick him. I mean, they should.
Starting point is 00:32:47 He is a fantastic match play guy. Just fantastic. Is it just because his game's not like sexy enough, I feel like. It's just like, I don't know what it is. I feel like he checks the box on outcomes, but his game isn't that like bomber, like dominant golfer, but he just, he just wins and he makes pars and he can roll the hell out of the putter. It's like, it's just, I don't know, it feels like it's not the sexy side of thing. Pudding is everything, but he just doesn't have the length. Seems like an A1 locker room guy that you would want involved in a team event like that. Like it'd be one thing if he had this match play record, but he was a fucking asshole piece of shit that nobody liked, he is the complete opposite of that. He's a great locker room guy and he's
Starting point is 00:33:28 a match-play assassin. I don't understand. He's literally was voted the number one guy the guys like to get paired up with when they play around a golf. He's the most liked guy on the PGA tour. He's on like the board for the fucking, you know, representing the players against the PGA tour.
Starting point is 00:33:42 So all of those things are going for him, but he just slides just far enough down that list that there's other names in front of them that they almost feels like they have to take every time, which drives me crazy because I saw a couple of people that were responding like, yeah, kids like got a good match. play record, but unfortunately the U.S. team's just like too deep. I'm like, we're two and seven in the last night.
Starting point is 00:34:04 Two and seven. We're not too deep. We suck. We fucking suck. We lose all the time. So now we're going to like, oh, our team's too deep. These other players are two good kids can't make it. What are you talking about? Our team fucking sucks. We lose all the time. So clearly a guy that's a match play assassin, who's beloved, who does the things in match play for the record that you need to do to win, which is he makes puts and he hits the ball straight. Like that's just what he's good at. So. And he's got camaraderie. Our team hasn't had camaraderie. Oh, boy. What? And like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Is that my Wi-Fi? What just happened? Oh, you okay. Something. Riggs zapped. Well, you did a pause and then this, where it got real quick. Hopefully since we're recording locally, no one's even going to worry about that, Lurch. So let's just keep it rolling here. That's right, Lurch. Nobody cares about what you're seeing on your screen to be honest.
Starting point is 00:34:52 It does seem like the like a captain who picks Kevin Kisner is going to somehow get some sort of heat or media heat like just don't fucking worry about that who cares let's try and win these things as opposed to like just picking people who aren't going to give you like be a headline like just pick kevin kisner that's it yeah i'm again i think i hope that he has proved i mean took down jt like he took down louis like those are good those are really good wins um and you know he gave
Starting point is 00:35:22 kuch all he could and he's clearly had a phenomenal phenomenal match by record throughout his entire career. So hopefully we can continue to make a little bit of a campaign for kids to get on the Ryder Cup team. He's never played in a Ryder Cup, which is crazy to me. But he's just got that personality too. Like, kids is a fucking bulldog, like no pun intended. But he is, that's how he likes to play. He fucking likes to stare people down. He's a cocky little son of a bitch. And he likes to go one on one or two on two and beat you, you know, understanding what you make, he may, he might not win every, every, you know, tournament every week in terms of stroke play
Starting point is 00:35:59 but when it comes to match play he has proven that year and year that he can continue to win and it's infuriating that they just won't pick them and I still again I don't know that they're going to pick them this year it's going to be very frustrating and I think I'm going to get very upset it's a similar feeling with your favorite sports
Starting point is 00:36:15 team when like they have the same roster out there year and year out maybe there's a couple guys that like get paid a lot of money or they've been in that position forever and you know some of these like younger guys or guys that play well against certain players I think about that with the Yankees all the time. Like Gary Sanchez is still catching big games for the Yankees.
Starting point is 00:36:31 Meanwhile, you have these other guys like Kagashioka, who every time he gets in there will get a base hit. Even though he's not the bigger name player or whatever, like they continuously go with the same roster where you're like, let's just try something here. Let's get Kevin Kizzer in there. He clearly gets it done. Tell me Alabama just hit that three at the buzzer beater.
Starting point is 00:36:48 No, I'm on fucking delay, Frankie. Don't tell me that actually just happened. Wow. Wow. Do we have a spoiler right now? Pirelli. I'm on about a five minute delay right now. No way.
Starting point is 00:36:59 I'm sorry, Jake. I mean, you just came out of the clouds. I forgot you even were there. There's four point two seconds. Let me, let me get my glasses on to make sure that's happen. Bang!
Starting point is 00:37:11 They hit it, bro. They hit it. Holy shit. Dude, they fucking hit it. Holy shit, man. I didn't have my contacts in,
Starting point is 00:37:20 so I have my glasses were on my desk. And I thought I moved. Oh, let me get my glasses and see you about you. Do they make it? I thought I saw it and the place was going crazy. Wow. Way to go, Jake. Hell yeah, Jake.
Starting point is 00:37:33 We're going to overtime, boys. That is fucking awesome. Holy smokes. But, yeah, I think they can take a shot on kids. At this point, the proof is in the pudding, as the kids say. And he is a good match. He's a good match play player. He just fucking wins.
Starting point is 00:37:48 DJ and Kevin Nah had an interesting little incident that I think, it's a classic golf rules and golf. golf just pisses people off where, you know, DJ hit a pot. I think it lipped out. He had like six inches and he scooped it, early scoop. And Kevin Noss said to him, you know, hey, technically you got to wait until I tell you that it's good before you just scoop it. DJ was not happy.
Starting point is 00:38:12 You can tell right away that Dustin Johnson, by the way, we have Dustin Johnson video coming out tonight, Tuesday night. And it's awesome. It's him playing left-hand against us. And he was as into it as you can possibly be. guy does not like to lose. I don't even know if we're hyping that up enough. Like, this is, I feel like because it happens
Starting point is 00:38:32 so long ago that we're not like, we're not doing it justice of what's happening tonight. Right? Like, we're playing Dustin Johnson and golf on our four play YouTube page. All these people that have watched us fucking sit in our rooms and talk about slapping ourselves around
Starting point is 00:38:47 and our grundles and bad movie references and cutting people off and talking too long and Lurch's voice. Everything that they stick around for, somehow, some way. Us four idiots played with the defending Masters champion. And we're releasing it a week before
Starting point is 00:39:04 he steps up to the fucking tea at Augusta National as he tries to take on a back-to-back feet at Augusta for the Masters. This is just, this is crazy town, and I know people hate when we talk, say the word crazy, but this is fucking crazy, guys. We got Dustin
Starting point is 00:39:19 Johnson on the golf course and he just played golf with us. Opposite-handed. And it was fucking awesome. And he, And he killed it. And people are going to be very surprised at his personality. Like that's, like, I'm sure some people are like, oh, well, he's just going to be, he's going to be asleep and he's not going to have any brain function. It's like, no, no, no, no. You don't understand.
Starting point is 00:39:40 You see him in these little cliffs that we have now talked about recently, like media hits where he's basically, we think, messing with them, where he just gives these bland answers and he moves on about his day. But when you get him in a competitive environment, and as soon as we tee off and we start to hit shots, and he starts to hit shots lefty, those competitive juices get going, and it is a completely different Dustin Johnson than you're used to. I promise you. Yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 00:40:03 He was cool as shit. He was funny. He was busting our balls. He was so into the match. He knew where everybody's ball was, what they lie, how he was going to win, how it was going to play out.
Starting point is 00:40:13 He was calculating all of it, and he was doing it while being very into the fact that we were doing this and chirping and playing along. It was so goddamn cool. I think he kept saying I found my little birdie or something, I found my little pigeon. I think he kept saying that to Trent, which then made me think maybe he knows about the Paulina tweets and all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:40:34 Like every time Trent would do something bad, he'd say, I found my little pigeon or something like that. And I can't wait to rewatch this video because do you guys remember him saying that? Like, I think I found my pigeon. I vividly remember it. And I think it was because,
Starting point is 00:40:48 and I don't think it was because the Paulina stuff because maybe he knows about it. Maybe he doesn't. He never showed his cards in either direction. but like I'm pretty sure he's like I found the weak one I found the one who is who is by far the worst at golf and now I'm going to just absolutely destroy him but he said that to me multiple times because I no spoiler but I just you know I played horrible during the hole against him and like and he just kept he like found his mark he's like that's the guy I'm going to destroy and then I'm going to take on the rest of you as I go forward there's a scene of Dustin Johnson
Starting point is 00:41:20 and looking for Trent's ball, and it's the most four-play barstool, like imagery of all time. The Masters champion, number one rank golfer in the world, is viciously looking through Florida, like, bushes and wildlife for Trent Ryan's ball
Starting point is 00:41:38 that he, like, sliced into a million miles to the right? Like, that's just, like, I don't know how we got him to spend his hour doing that. Like, it's amazing that he did this with this. And he fucking loved it. And he fucking loved it. He was so into it. He was so into beating, like, playing us, trying to beat us.
Starting point is 00:42:00 Whoever, like, whenever he got a little leg up on us, he let you know. He was grabbing the pin and, like, being like, no, no, I got it. He, like, asked me for a putter because he didn't have, like, he was so into it that I cannot wait to rewatch this tomorrow or tonight. He definitely, I mean, he was extremely dialed. He knew exactly where everybody stood on the hole as well. So as things progressed and potentially he got, you know, in a better situation or a worse circumstance, he would, you could see his mood change, which I also appreciate it. Because like when he found out like, you know, if he was going Trent a Pigeon, I actually didn't hear that.
Starting point is 00:42:34 So I can't wait to hear that video. But as soon as he started like knock others potentially out in the video, you could see him get happier and happier and happier. So it's going to be a must watch. You got to go follow. Got to go follow for play on YouTube. That's the one thing. Go subscribe. subscribe.
Starting point is 00:42:51 Which brings us back to Kevin Knaa and Dustin Johnson. The one thing I would advise Kevin Kna against, the whole scenario was pretty ridiculous. Don't put your hand on Dustin Johnson's shoulder. There was that one picture where it looked like he just, Kevin Kna had his hand on DJ's shoulder like he was teaching him a lesson. And Kevin Knot ended up winning the match. So it would have been better for the story if DJ had just completely crushed him after that happened. Didn't end up that way. But like, you don't need to be putting your hand on the number one player in the world's shoulder explaining him how.
Starting point is 00:43:19 match play works. That was a little wild. What I think we should do is let's put in the audio of what we can have. I think the little back and forth was funny. Like hearing the Kevin Oz's tone, like just don't do it. Can we put that in right here? I'm just saying, just wait, right? I know, I know it's this,
Starting point is 00:43:34 but you still have to wait until I say something, okay? You don't have to wait for the duration of the clip. Well, the reason why I did that is because maybe it gives Jake this ridiculously long space in the editing, and he knows immediately that's the one time there was no talk. so that will be easy for the editor. All right, let's jump back into it. Okay, no, we're back.
Starting point is 00:43:53 We're back. Yeah, I like that. We're back. I think Trent's comment has to be. I agree. That's too good. But you're right. It was like almost belittling, and he's belittling the number one player in the world.
Starting point is 00:44:05 And it was like, dude, what are you doing now? It was a little bit, it's a little bit tough because Kevin Nod is not wrong technically, but what is stupid, right? So he actually handled it how I think it should be. handled from a technicality standpoint. Like the way that he talked to us and Johnson was a little ridiculous. But him being like, hey, just, you know, like technically you got to, you know, you got to hear me say that's good before you can do that.
Starting point is 00:44:29 But obviously I'm going to count it. That was good. Then the rules official after came out and said that that's like illegal. You actually, you can't do that, which I was about to tweet and then I forgot and then I never tweeted it. But I was going to say that in match play, there should just be a blanket rule that if your opponent and you like agree on something, it just should. trumps all other rules in the world of God.
Starting point is 00:44:52 If your opponent's just like, you know what? Yeah, I'm not sure. I think it went in there, but you just drop right here. Then that should just be the rule. Or if your opponent's like, no, I know you didn't say it, but that was obviously good. It's six inches I was going to give it to you. You're all good.
Starting point is 00:45:04 And then no one would ever have to talk about it ever again. That should just be the rule. Yes. Common sense rule. I really don't understand how it's not. Right. Common sense agreement. How can the rules official get in when you agree to it as a team?
Starting point is 00:45:18 Right. Common sense agreement. Common sense agreement. Like, yeah, you know what? Like, I was actually writing our scores in. You had a one inch put that you just, like, missed or whatever. I was actually good. Like, let's just go to the next hole.
Starting point is 00:45:29 Right. We all knew that was good. I mean, how many times does that happen to where you're like, especially with us and when we're playing with strokes and stuff? Where we get up to the next tee and we're like, oh, fuck, you had a stroke there and you like run back to the green and like reput it. Like, oh, where it was it? Like, that's just a common sense agreement. Like, yeah, let's go. Like, we've done, we did that out of like spyglass.
Starting point is 00:45:49 like there was an intense put and someone didn't tell us that we had a stroke and I'm like I'm going fucking back there and put and everyone like came running back like let's do it but if there was a rules official being like no no no that's actually incorrect you're disqualified and now I take your money
Starting point is 00:46:05 it's like what the fuck you're talking about let's just be common sense real people and let's have some fun yes that's what golf needs more of I think that's like those times incidents just make this sport look so dumb especially in match play I get stroke play you got to protect the field and it can get a little stupid and annoying, but it's probably necessary.
Starting point is 00:46:21 In match play, it's like, no, you're literally just playing the other person. That's it. That's all that matters. So it makes zero sense for rules official to jump in and try to make any ruling when everyone just agrees. It was a six inch pot. Now I was like, yeah, he wasn't going to miss it. That was good.
Starting point is 00:46:34 You're all good. And everybody just moves on. Agreed. Agreed. I love that. We all greet. I'm always waiting for these moments in golf to, like when I saw a Kevin Nodd Dustin Johnson thing happening,
Starting point is 00:46:47 I was like watching Twitter being, like, like, oh, when this is going to transcend and everybody's going to pick it up, people will be talking about this. And then you realize match play, and it's kind of what you guys are talking about, where the rules are so like a little confusing and they're a little abstract that, like, people take one look at it who aren't golf fans and they're like,
Starting point is 00:47:03 I'm not wasting my time trying to figure out what's going on there. And it just never happens. It's happened a couple of times. I can't remember all the instances, but there'll be moments during a tournament where I'm like, oh, this is going to take this. I go back. I can't help it. It's going to start trending on Twitter, and then it just does it. And that's, that's golf.
Starting point is 00:47:19 Riggs is going to take a piss right now. Well, that actually is not confirmed. You could be doing anything. Oh, that seems like Rigsie runs. I think he's up. I think he has a little bit like the IBS stuff, right? I think he's talked about that where he's just like, he's got his run to the bathroom. I know, yeah, I know early on and I don't want to be, you know, talking out of school, but I think he's talking about.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Oh, true. But I think he's talking about it. Like when we, when we, I think he's gone, let's he took his headphones and I bet he can hear us. Maybe he can hear us. I mean, the infamous story, like, didn't he have to like take, didn't he have to like go poopoo at, at um at pebble beach and like ruined his old or was a spyglass or something one of those was it like the dabog classic last year or one of those trips out there he really had to go to the bathroom and it like ruined his whole day all i know is that early on the podcast when
Starting point is 00:48:02 all of our interviews everything was in the old office the old office in new york that right before the interview or right before a big podcast my man riggs would disappear and he'd be gone until i would go in the studio and then he would show up again and i think it was bathroom related. And I think he's talked about that. Maybe he hasn't, but I know that would happen early on. And he just has to go right now. And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and what do you know it? Would you know it? Dude Wipes is a massive sponsor of the Barstow Classic. So thank you to Dude Wipes. I don't know if they're on the ad reads sheet today, but, um, you know, takes one of no one with Rigsie. And he's, he's a, he's a dude Wipes user. That would have
Starting point is 00:48:39 been an all-time segue if you knew what was on the ad sheet. Oh, I wish I did. Yeah, it would have been good. Well, we got the classic coming up there, they're a big, they're a big part of the classic so we're going to be using a lot of dude wipes coming up i do want to talk about sergeo garcia um i know riggs will want to have to talk about it a little bit but gets that ace and you know it's just it's a walkoff ace one of one of the most incredible walkoffs i think you can possibly have in sports i've talked about this at length over the weekend with my buddies like that has to be the best most impressive walkoff you can possibly have right i don't care what it's for
Starting point is 00:49:16 I don't care like Patty Kane scoring the game winning goal in the Stanley Cup. I understand. Like that is a bigger moment. But when we're talking straight, like something that can never be replicated, it's that. Bro. Guys can score goals to win Stanley Cups. No one can get a hole in one after like a playoff match play event and just shake hands on the T-box and be like, ho-hum, see you later, pal.
Starting point is 00:49:41 Like, thanks for coming. Yeah, if we're talking odds, it's astronaut. the difference between, you know, scoring the last second goal or, or making a buzzer beater and then making a hole in one as a walk-up. Those numbers, they got to be pretty different. Like, West would stand up there.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Like, what just happened to me? Is there anything that that's final? Like, you know, like when we talk, like, baseball or hockey or anything like that, like, you know, Richter making that penalty shot save against Pavarra. Like, that's sweet, but it's like one little spot. Like, there's nothing else that's just a kill shot.
Starting point is 00:50:15 Like, that's the, walk off home run. Yeah, I guess. That's a good one, actually. Yeah, if you walk off home run to win the World Series would be that would be, that would be it. Or like the Pats interception
Starting point is 00:50:29 against the Falcons. Only the Seahawks. Yeah. Like that's just like a walkoff interception, like one player, one way, one play the other way. You win your wins. Yeah, those are up there. But to be that guy on that team,
Starting point is 00:50:44 certainly is up there. Walk off home run for sure is up there, but guys can hit home runs. I mean, they hit a lot of them. You got guys in 700 clubs and the whole thing. I don't know how many people hit hole in ones like to win matches. That it would be like you're in the bottom of the ninth. Your team's tied. Like game seven of the world series and you rip one.
Starting point is 00:51:04 Like that just is better than hitting a hole in one of the Dell match play in the round of 16. Right. That is the thing. It was the round of 32 or the round of 16. Like if that happened today, Sunday on 18 or like on 17, like now we're really talking about a spectacular moment. Sergio's moment was spectacular. But if there were more stakes, then it would have been even better. I don't want what I said to get wrapped up in.
Starting point is 00:51:31 I don't want it to get like skewed there. I'm not talking moments. Like there are, there's better moments in Islander games. Game 50s. Like if you want to talk of excitement, like things that matter to most people in sports, like like you're saying, Round of 32, Sergio Garcia hitting, like making a hole in one and beating Lee Westwin just advancing to then go on and lose, doesn't make any difference in the world of sports. I'm talking the art and the act of hitting a hole in one to win a match, taking the hat off, shaking the
Starting point is 00:51:59 hands in between the fucking T-box markers is so astronomically impossible that I don't know that anything comes close to it when it comes to difficulty and odds. I don't know anything comes up. Yeah, because, yeah, all right. So if you're, let's see, if you were to compare them. Like if you were saying, a guy is standing at the plate, game seven of the World Series, bottom of the ninth, tie game, what are the odds that he hits a walk-off home run? We could have those numbers. And then you go to the Sergio Garcia one where it's, we are now in a match.
Starting point is 00:52:24 He can win it here if he makes a hole in one. The odds of that are just extremely well. I think it's conservatively a billion times more odds, worse odds to make a hole in one than hit a walk-off home run. A billion. I think whatever it is, you times it by a billion, and that's what Sergio did. Yeah, I think so because especially you're not going to, you're almost never going to have a chance. Like, it was a playoff hole or it's like, why would you ever happen? Right.
Starting point is 00:52:50 Why would you ever have that chance? Like, you'd have to be in a playoff or you'd have to be in a match play series. So it almost just like can't even have the opportunity to happen. Right. Yeah, I agree. I mean, there's 162 games per team a year, like whatever that equates to. Like, there's just so many more options. That was almost.
Starting point is 00:53:10 play. Here's a question, though. Like, that will never happen again. I'm not going to say never, because, I mean, if it happened once, then the statistic, it'll just happen again. Take a stand, Frankie. Put your fucking feet on the ground. You know what? That's like a, it's a decent side to be on. Like, oh, the guys, next year's match play,
Starting point is 00:53:32 there can't be a walk off all in one on the four chances they get. So yeah, you know what? I'm putting my fucking foot down. There will never be another. whole in one. And imagine there's one like the Rider Cup how fucking electric it would be. Oh my God. Oh, God. No, I couldn't even imagine that. The 17th Hall of Whistling Straits is a part three.
Starting point is 00:53:52 I'll eat that one. I'll be happy to see another one. I'm just, I'm going to be on the side and say that we will not see another one. Walk off hole in one to win the match. I don't think that's a crazy take, Frankie. I'm, I'm proud of you for taking that. Do you guys see that cameraman fall?
Starting point is 00:54:09 Yeah, of course. poor guy that was just good good fun right there right like that's that's just good old fashion internet fun like yeah his leg like kicked up into the air it's just so good we can talk he was moving at a decent clip i mean like he wasn't going slow there either like he was getting the job done and moving then he bit and yeah that's just good old fashion fun if you can't laugh at that you're a little bit i mean that just caught me yeah i like when they don't even and they don't addressed it on the broadcast. They addressed it a few minutes later, but they weren't like, holy shit, that guy just fell. They were just like, and we're now here at the eight bowl with
Starting point is 00:54:48 Sergio Garcia. But then a couple minutes later, they said something, but I like that they just ignore that everyone just watched this man's feet fly up into the air, and then they just don't even mention it. Yeah, I like when they don't mention it either. I think it's hilarious. Taylor, you hear you're just talking about the Dustin Jotson video earlier? Well, the reason that, you know, we're doing those videos and the reason that we are able to get into that position is with our friends at Taylor Made. And I got a text this past weekend, our guy Ian that we work with, who works on our business team, who's big part of the Barstool Classic.
Starting point is 00:55:20 He's at pretty much every stop. He got his Sim 2 for the first time, and he just texted me Saturday morning and just said, this thing is an absolute weapon. And it's true. I'm seeing people again. They're starting to get out in springtime all over the good weather as we talked about. I see a lot of tweets about this thing is a cheat code. This thing is a weapon.
Starting point is 00:55:38 The Sim 2 truly is. our very own Jake Bass went out, and I think, Jake, what did you shoot? 106? 106. Let's go, Jay. That was like Jake's first round of golf this year, and probably less than five you've ever, you've played all time. Is that right?
Starting point is 00:55:55 Yeah, I mean, I played a couple of random courses of rigs. I played Liberty National and went to like the local muni. And I mean, I played like my buddy's ball if like I went OB or something like that, like off the tee shot. But, I mean, it's a joke. I have the high toe 58 degree wedge that thing's a literal cheat code
Starting point is 00:56:13 like it would just you'd stick it I made a birdie on the third hole then I told the guy that was playing with they were like I was like yeah like I'm not a big golfer
Starting point is 00:56:22 and then by the third hole they were like go fuck yourself and I was like it's a tailor mate Jake's also getting his heart ripped out as we speak to you I know I've done
Starting point is 00:56:32 follow on Twitter at the same time it's just tough it's really tough to have gone through this whole thing Jake and now I'm trying to get you to plug Taylor-May, but that's part of the gig.
Starting point is 00:56:40 Sorry about that, but I was playing with Haley, Ostrom on Friday, and we went to the green. She thought she was on the green, so she didn't bring a wedge. Asked if she could use my high-toe, and she literally chipped it. First time she ever used my Taylor-Made High-toe, 60-degree wedge, she just chipped in. It was like, okay, this thing's pretty sick. So go tailor-made.com.
Starting point is 00:57:01 Go check out their stuff. Go explore. Go get fit. That's a huge one that we didn't really, realized. But once you go get fitted and your clubs are actually like tailored to your game, no pun intended there, tailored to your swing and, and, you know, your misses and your ball flight, it makes a massive, massive difference.
Starting point is 00:57:25 So go to tailormadegolf.com, check them out, get involved in the tailormade stuff because it's the best in pretty much in the entire world. Brian Harmon, I noticed. I got a text from kids who says. said, like, you should start placing some wagers on Brian Harmon because he's just so dialed in right now. He's a Georgia guy as well, so Kiz knows him really well. And then right as kids sent me that text, Harmon birdied, I think, eight in a row to come back against Bubba Watson. And he's coming off a tie for third at the Players' Championship.
Starting point is 00:57:58 I think he was a tie for third. So just a name out there, as we, you know, Penn, Marshall Sportsbook, people love to get in the sports betting. Brian Harmon's a name that's popping up a lot. and he's playing fucking really good golf. And people can make fun of his outfits all they want. They're a little loose fitting, but I'm in on it. I fucking love it. I like that there's somebody still out there rocking the loose fitting pants.
Starting point is 00:58:20 When the wind blows, Brian Harmon's pants go like a sail. And I respect the hell out. But he looks comfy out there. He looks comfy. And I know people will shit on him for that. At least I feel like people do. I'm on the other side of that one. He looks comfortable out there.
Starting point is 00:58:34 And if he's playing great golf, he can do whatever the fuck he wants. He looks like, what's his name, Murr from Impractical Jokers? No, but I mean, he looks like just an average human being, and I think that's... You know what? I think that gives everybody hope, because he looks so average, and he just pours the rocket. He's also got the biggest putter on tour. That thing, it looks like it goes a foot behind the putter face. It's incredible how big that thing is. And he's a little guy.
Starting point is 00:59:04 He looks like the guy from, I mean, he looks like the guy from a practice. I tweeted it out during the players championship. It's identical. And he's a lefty, which I love. Yeah, he is. He's one of those guys that seems, his game seems a little bit obtainable. Like he's a little guy.
Starting point is 00:59:20 He's not like he bombs the ball. And yeah, he's just like, oh, I could kind of do something similar to what that guy does. And his putter really stands out because he's such a little guy that with his giant punt. It's like, holy shit, when you're looking down. And then his pants, he just, he looks a little bit ridiculous in the way that he doesn't look like a professional.
Starting point is 00:59:37 He looks like he just looks like He's like five six I mean he's legitimately like short right Yeah he's he short He's right now we're throwing a lot of No What? I mean I think people need
Starting point is 00:59:49 He's 57 he's 5 7 He's 5 7 So like that needs to be said Like we're saying he's like a little guy's got big pants Like it's a short fella He's 57 155 He's a professional athlete This is not calling him short
Starting point is 01:00:02 This could be for anybody But he's got a low center of gravity Okay What's the benefit there? What are we doing? Jesus, trans. I mean, don't kick a guy while he's down. No, I'm just saying.
Starting point is 01:00:13 Oh, okay. I think he's got a good base for a good golf swing. That's honestly what I was saying. I was saying anything else. Don't be short-sided. This whole segment was supposed to be a positive thing about Brian Harmon. Now we're just roasting him, which is very sad for him. I like Brian Harmon.
Starting point is 01:00:36 So do I. I love Brian Arman. He's great. He's a fucking lefty. I've been waiting for another lefty on tour to fucking, I need to roof her a lefty. Georgia guy. I like him. How well did that impractical Joker's tweet do during the players?
Starting point is 01:00:51 I can't remember, but I think people were like, yeah, you're right. Because I'm thinking about it too now. And now I, after I was going through the impractable Joker guys in my head, he does look like that guy. Thanks, ma'am. Okay, good. Unreal. Brian Harmon rocks a tailorman. The spider oversized.
Starting point is 01:01:07 So, you know, it works. Taylor made clubs work. Boom. That's pretty much, you know, that's all you needed to know. I had something. Oh, I was going to say, dude, Brian Harmon Lurch weighs like 120 pounds less than you do. I mean, I guess we're not going to shit everywhere. Now we're just trying to pick up.
Starting point is 01:01:22 No, I was thinking about, like, the difference in size between you two human beings is amazing. It's not 120 pounds, but it's 100 pounds even. Or maybe like 105 pounds, because I'm like 260, 255 on better. days. So yeah. I mean, no big deal. So just a couple inches. And he's a professional athlete being paid millions of dollars to play golf. That is so impressive that
Starting point is 01:01:47 I mean, you talk about what Bryson's out here doing. We can get into him that fucking weirdo. I don't know if I love him or I hate him. It's really hard. Everybody that comes out. But, you know, you got a guy who's 5-7-150 just fucking keeping it right down the middle, putting lights out with that outrageously large putter. And he's just
Starting point is 01:02:05 raking in the cash, man. man, like how much did third place of the players fucking pay that guy? Like, a shit ton of money? No idea. I'll tell you what, it was never more evident that I was never a professional athlete than today. My brother and I played in his pickleball tournament. It was like 100 degrees outside. My mom had just gotten married, so all these people were in town.
Starting point is 01:02:26 We just kind of registered for this fun tournament. So they all came just like because they got nothing to do. And my brother and I got absolutely waxed. The first game was very competitive. But after that, we had nothing going on, and people were watching us. I was, like, dehydrated, so I was, like, pouring the water down my back and chugging it. We looked like the fattest kids in camp. Everybody had stamina.
Starting point is 01:02:49 It was totally with it. It was kind of an idea. Were you and your brother that I'm fighting with each other at all? Yeah, actually, we were talking about that at dinner. And, no, we kept it pretty positive. There was a couple times where it got a little loose between the two of us, and everybody that has brothers knows that you can just say one thing to them, and then they snap, and they say it back to you when you lose your mind,
Starting point is 01:03:12 to the point where it would be like, oh, dude, you got to dink it, and that's like a shot in pickleball, or you hit it long, and Trent's looking at me like a psychopath, and I say you've got to dink it, but that's literally a shot, and then, like, the guy would just wail it or something like that. And so there was moments of frustration out there. We signed up for the pro division to start, which was a total mistake. That was just an error on our part. So we played one level below the pros.
Starting point is 01:03:37 And this was my third time ever playing pickleball. And it was, we got into some trouble. So we kept it positive. We had dinner together here to close up the night. So it was better than what we thought. A little legitimately, our goal was if we are talking in two hours into this tournament, it's a success. And we were. So that was good.
Starting point is 01:03:58 Okay. That's good. Yeah. Because, I mean, brothers, especially in a heated competition, when you're getting absolutely steamrolled, I could see things getting, pretty vicious. I feel like you've seen some things, too, with brothers that don't end so hot. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:10 Especially Brian and I. Yeah. But I've seen it, like, my own brother and I, like, we could fucking, you kidding me? You just get it's what brothers do. You get into it. So I just figured the heat, a couple big fellas down in Florida. You're getting just waxed by these people. I thought maybe there could be a little animosity.
Starting point is 01:04:25 So it's impressive if there wasn't. It was close. It was close. But we had it held off the bad energy. We got a little from the gallery. We've got a couple here that I want to get to. And this first one is actually pretty disturbing. It's foreplay at barcelessports.com, and it's disturbing for all golfers out there because
Starting point is 01:04:43 if this is true, which I think it might be, could be bad for all of us. He said, a huge fan of the show. I was in Scottsdale for a weekend. My golf buddies, while checking my bags to fly out of Scottsdale, I was asked if I had any clothes in my golf travel bag. I responded with yes, obviously, everybody packs the full bag with all shoes and clothes and everything in your golf travel bag. I was shocked by the response I received. I was told that if I packed clothes in my golf travel bag,
Starting point is 01:05:05 I would owe an extra $200 feet. I was shocked because I've traveled my golf clubs a lot, as long as it's under 50 pounds, you're good. I was told this is a standard policy for all airlines, not just American Airlines. I don't like American Airlines. Have you ever heard of this? To make it worse,
Starting point is 01:05:22 he told me that they will make a note on my account, and my golf bag will likely be checked for clothes every time I fly from now on. What is happening to this guy? That's what I said. I was like, no way. guy like a terrorist or something? Like he's getting his accounts flagged at the airport.
Starting point is 01:05:36 Like I, he's just going to a golf course. They can't look inside your bag and decipher what, what goes in it and what doesn't. That's inside. Hold on. I've, I've had that where somebody like is like,
Starting point is 01:05:47 oh no, you can only have golf clubs in your golf bag. Why? Because we're beating the system? I just literally went to another teller. I just like went down the line and just like met with somebody else. I'm like, that's the whole deal.
Starting point is 01:05:59 All right. Let's get to meet with the right people. Let's say that's fair, which it is. is not and I will not abide by that in any way shape or form. For it to be an extra $250, I'll just go home. I will just go right back home. I won't go.
Starting point is 01:06:11 This is something I'm willing to go to like really far for like court. Lawyer fees because I it's really easy to defend yourself when you know you're right. And this is a situation which we know we're right. Like what do they do they deem happening? What do they deem acceptable in like a double bag and like a normal bag? Like if I start putting in toiletries or something, are they like, that can't go in there? And that's an extra $250. Like, them determining what goes in what type of bag feels like a slippery slope for them.
Starting point is 01:06:44 So the extra price has to come at an extra cost to them, right? They can't just charge you to charge you. They have to deem that you putting in clothes has cost them extra money. Therefore, they are going to charge you an extra fee. What could fucking possibly cost them? cost them more money by keeping it under the 50 pounds and just lining that bag
Starting point is 01:07:07 with whatever you want. What if like whatever you want? What is the difference? What if my golf bag happens to be 49 pounds? Because my clubs are super heavy. What's the difference between that? We're having 20 pound golf bag
Starting point is 01:07:20 and filling it up with 30 pounds of clothes. Right. What is the difference? Let's say it like this. What if you have your golf bag and you don't even put your golf clubs in it you fill it with only clothes? Like that's just a fucking bag.
Starting point is 01:07:31 Yes. Just a bag. Dude, if this happens to me, as long as it's not like cocaine or something, then I think it should be, it's like, you just have a bag.
Starting point is 01:07:42 You just traveled with a bag. Cocaine. It's just a bag. You don't assume that my bag is a golf bag. Don't assume anything. I'll, I'll go to the nearest store and I'll buy a thousand golf balls and I'll pack up that fucking bag.
Starting point is 01:07:58 It's 49-999-99-99-9-9-9-9-9-9-pound. That'd be the worst bag to carry of all that. If you're telling me it's a golf bag with just under 50 pounds of loose golf balls in there, and it's just like water holding that. A 50 pound bag of just golf stuff, regardless of what it is, is an outrageous golf bag. I don't even know if you can get there. I don't even know if you can get the 50. I don't know that you could.
Starting point is 01:08:23 Your bag would be too full before it would be too heavy. Yeah, like obviously you could put a couple bricks in there. But if you're using legitimate golf tools, like a bunch of fucking balls, maybe one pair of shoes, an umbrella. Like, I don't know that golf has enough stuff to fit in that bag to make it 50 pounds at all. I had the experience today where I, you know, they made me do one of the good life hacks for golf traveler is like, you just lean like the front part of your golf bag onto the scale. And it comes in at like fucking 28 pounds. You're like, oh, yeah, thanks a lot.
Starting point is 01:08:59 later. Well, the lady today, they pick it up and they're like, what the fuck? The lady today, she had me do, she goes, yeah, you have to stand your bag on the scale. And I was like, oh, we're fucked. Like, we're never going to get out of here now. Stand it on the scale, 53 pounds. And I look at her and she looks at me. Like, I look at the number. It's 53. I look at her. She looks now the number looks back at me. And then she just goes, okay, your gate B up that way. And I was like, thank you very much. I just like, I just saw it away. That's what they should have a tip jar. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:32 They should just have a tip char right there. Just like in that moment, here's your 20 bucks lady. I love you. Dude. In my afternoon so much better. Here's money for you. I really think. It makes me think the whole system's fucked because like there's got to be a reason why 50 pounds.
Starting point is 01:09:46 50 pounds. So I'm saying like 53 pounds has to throw it off somewhere. And we can't just have this lady willy-nilly just letting 53 pounders in because then where does it end? that kind of can't make a turn. I put a little bag in the top of my golf bag. So if you do get that awful person, you can just take the three pounds out, put in that bag, and that's your carry-off.
Starting point is 01:10:10 Dude, I had the opposite experience of Riggs when I was flying out of Monterey after we were at Pebble, where I think I was like 51, it was 51 pounds. I'm sorry, Trent. Lurch just had an unreal idea. That's a really good idea. I think we've talked about that, haven't we? Yeah. Here and there, maybe in just like off topics.
Starting point is 01:10:29 I don't know if it's been on the podcast. Because there was once where I was just carrying clothes in my hand. I've done the thing where you have to put it all on. I've worn like four layers of clothes. And then you got to get to security and they're like, all right, take up your jacket, your other jacket. Yeah, your other pair of pants, please. Your jacket, your two belts.
Starting point is 01:10:48 You're telling me all jackets. You're telling me all jackets. I have to come off. I get six jackets. Walking in like Fat Albert. No, I had to, it was 51 pounds, and the lady did not tell me what gate I was going to. She was like, let's get that thing under 50. And I just took one shoe out and it was enough. And I just put one shoe in my backpack.
Starting point is 01:11:09 And I just had one shoe in my backpack. It was the most preposterous thing I've ever had to do. But it has to have some effect. Yeah. I mean, it has to. Like Frankie said, there's got to be a legitimate reason for safety that they do that. Maybe they're thinking like, all right, if you're. you're the first guy that's getting on this
Starting point is 01:11:27 flight and your bag is over 50 pounds, I'm going to let you go, because you're here and you can go. But then if like two or three more come, they got to do it because when we start letting all the 53 pounders on, this plane is dropping out of that sky like a stone, so we can't have that happen. Is there a max poundage?
Starting point is 01:11:43 Like, if I just filled a suitcase with just bricks and it was like 280 pounds and I just put that thing, would they take that? What happened? I mean, they charge you $1,000 for it. Right, but they would take the bag? I think my bag to Australia was like 110 pounds.
Starting point is 01:12:01 I remember that thing being, I couldn't even, I think that's what tore my laborum. I don't even know if I could pull that thing. Let me ask you if this is possible. Is something, when you, like, when you have your golf bag and you lay it upwards on the scale, is there it possible to weigh less than when you lay it all the way down? No, I think. I would say it would lay more. Yeah, I think, because it's like a less surface area.
Starting point is 01:12:23 Like to Riggs's point, like when you do like the lazy drop down, you kind of like change like at least like the touch points of the golf bag and everybody's like, oh no, you know, I got a shit ton of balls in the bottom. So we're just going to rest like the top like of my like club heads on top and hope that weight and change it. So I would say there would probably be a couple pounds more if you weighed it standing up. I was under the impression it would weigh the same both ways. Well, I think it's like if the scale was a full size scale,
Starting point is 01:12:52 but the bag is so, the golf bag is so preposterous. So, like, if you just, like, graze the first couple feet of it on there, like, you're just, I've legit had a 50-something pound bag
Starting point is 01:13:02 come in at, like, under 30 pounds for that. Right. And I just look at the person like, are you fucking get, let me get away with this right now? This is a joke what we're doing here. And then they go pick it up
Starting point is 01:13:12 to fucking wheel it onto the thing, and they're like, Jesus, and I'm gone at that point. I'm fucking through the security. We're out of here. In general, golf travel bags are,
Starting point is 01:13:22 Absolutely preposterous. The fact that we walk through airports with those things, like all the other bags are pretty normal. It's just like they're the same shape, but they're different sizes. And then we show up with essentially a body bag that we're just carrying around the airport and rolling around on wheels.
Starting point is 01:13:37 Like every time, not every time, every time in an airport with my golf travel bag and rolling through them. Like I look like, I look ridiculous right now. Dude. Yeah. And we have all these soft like bags.
Starting point is 01:13:47 And you ever watch the way these guys handle these things? I've watched them outside the windows of these airports. when you're sitting on the plane, they toss these things. Like, it's their fucking, like they're trying off of the Olympics. I'd never say anything like it. They get air underneath these bags to try and get them on the little. I actually don't blame them because our bags are the different ones. They're the ones that they're like, oh, we got another one of these fucking golf bags that we got to throw off.
Starting point is 01:14:12 That's why I bought and no free ads. I don't even know, whatever. I think they're called like easy something, but it's an umbrella, basically, a hard case thing that goes inside your bag. I've had it for the last two years. You put it on the bottom, like the bottom row of your club, so that if someone does toss your bag, that metal thing, exactly. Yeah, Lurch has it right now. That metal thing hits the ground before your driverhead, your irons, and all that.
Starting point is 01:14:36 That's the first thing to make impact. So really good invention. That's a good idea. That's a very good idea. I think that upside down umbrella, though, is in most travel bags. I don't think that you can buy it. Like, that just comes with your travel bag, right? Like, can you buy one without it?
Starting point is 01:14:49 No, I don't know that. Is that one company or is that? No, I mean, I don't know if they're all companies, but I don't know that the travel bags come with that thing. I think I got sold that separately from a good salesman. Oh, really? Yeah. From a good salesman. Realistic, like, when you think about it,
Starting point is 01:15:03 golfers, like, we're just, we're assholes. Like, we carry these giant bags through the airport that are unlike anybody else's bags. Our game, right, like any other game, if you're on, like, a soccer field, it's like an acre, like 100 yards. We're like, no, we're going to have 18, 500-yard holes that are just, just going to take up this entire county basically it's like we're just golfers are just like we just take up space that's just that's what we do take up as much space as possible yeah that's people hate like people hate golf right like all the resources the water the money the space like
Starting point is 01:15:39 doesn't george carlin tell a joke about how like it's the dumbest thing in the world and that we should have all the homeless people live on on all the golf courses i think that's right yeah that sounds right it's like they got robert's like they got robin Williams is a good one too. It's just like the dumbest game in the world. Like you're going to start 400 yards away from the smallest hole you've ever seen that hit this stupid little white ball into that hole from here. You're going to hit it and you're going to find it and hit it again.
Starting point is 01:16:07 He's like when you're finding, just put it in your pocket and you won. I won the damn thing. You found the ball. It is amazing. So good.

Starting point is 01:18:56 especially with our Frankie Borrelli, over the last several days since the last time that we did a show. How are you feeling about that, Frank? You know, I was just scrolling through Twitter. Like I usually do late at night. And I saw Phil was tweeting, like, some stuff. Like, you know, he was just being weird, like, zany Phil or whatever. What are you about to say?
Starting point is 01:19:17 That tweet is, was weird. Yeah, super weird. So bizarre. Real weird. It came out of nowhere. So Phil Mickelson to start this thing off said, here's a random thought.
Starting point is 01:19:27 After turning 18 and becoming a legal adult, you can adopt a child, but are still three years away from legally drinking a beer. And he does the, hmm, emoji. And that coming out like 1049 on a Friday or whatever that was, it was bizarre. What's he doing? What's his state of mind at that point?
Starting point is 01:19:45 What the hell is going on? That, Let's say if you show that that tweet to 100 people and you take on, you cut it out where you don't say that it's Phil Mickelson who tweeted it. I think 99% of people would say that's a weird tweet. That's an objectively strange tweet. Just a weird couple of thoughts to put together. Like was he having a conversation about that? He had to.
Starting point is 01:20:06 Right. That's what I want to know. Like who was he talking to? Was he just wake up from a dream and now he's got a nightmare? What is he doing? Someone who knows has someone that adopted a kid at 18. And he got into an argument or debate, being like, how was that possibly? He can't even have a beer yet.
Starting point is 01:20:20 And then that, like, that tweet fired off. That has to happen. That doesn't just pop into your head. No. So I quote tweeted that because, you know, he's deep in some shit that night. So I thought maybe I'd just sprinkle a little bit of my brain on top. I said, hey, Phil, you ever think about the ever-expanding infinite universe? What's it expanding into?
Starting point is 01:20:41 And I'm going to be honest. Like, I sent that tweet out and I closed my eyes. And I put my phone down and I got like some nice sleep. That was the next day I woke up with like a 97% recovery. I think I tweeted out on whoop. I was just feeling pure. I was feeling good. But for some reason, Phil, like, responded to me.
Starting point is 01:20:57 And I missed that until the next morning, which was kind of a crazy thing to wake up to. But he says, he responded to my tweet asking about the infinite universe. And he says, I think about Earth becoming extinct every 30 million years from the ort cloud. Am I pronouncing that correctly? The ort cloud. O-O-O-R-T. Sure. The Ort cloud.
Starting point is 01:21:14 as we travel around the galaxy every 250,000 years, we go up and down. The gravity of our galaxy pulls on the ort cloud and slingshots comets at us every 30 million years. And by the way, it's been 30 million years with like a oh shit face emoji. So Phil's just laying down the fucking truth about just how scary the goddamn galaxy is, the universe. He was getting in on the joke. It was pretty cool. I know Riggs responded to like, how about the gravity behind Frankie blading chips into another universe? How do we feel about that? Objectively a funny tweet.
Starting point is 01:21:47 And then, Phil, with the funniest tweet of the night, it says, you want to talk string theory now? Like to him saying that? As if that was more complex than the Ork Cloud slingshotting shots into slingshotting comets into our orbit and destroying our universe, the fact that string theory in my wedges is even more, like, we can't even, we can't even start to talk about that because that's just too much. Made me laugh.
Starting point is 01:22:10 That was a good chuckle. Yeah, it was good stuff. Phil was one of the weirder just, no context tweets that I've ever seen and luckily we were able to spin in this pretty good stuff
Starting point is 01:22:20 but yeah that guy whatever's going on that brain that day that conversation that debate whatever he was having with some people to put that out
Starting point is 01:22:28 on Twitter was I like it because it's bold but it was a weird fucking tweet I read it like five times like what is he talking about like what could be happening right now come on the show Phil
Starting point is 01:22:37 and we'll talk about the universe right crazy with all the interactions we've had I feel like we talk a lot on Twitter my friend feel like we talk a lot on Twitter.

Starting point is 01:27:47 This video, this comes out on the 30th. I'm pretty sure you have one more day, Trent, to watch Molly's game. I think it goes up Netflix on March 31st. I'm pretty sure. I think it's just gone off Netflix. You're going to have to end up renting it and spending money. Like, you better watch that motherfucking movie or else. I'm going to come there.
Starting point is 01:28:03 I'm going to rip your fucking throat out. I don't seem to neither. So Monday is the last day that I can watch it? I think so. I got tweets about that. And I don't want to get, I mean, it's at the end of the show, so we can go a little off topic. I know we were about the end, but I just watched a movie, and it may shock you that I've never seen this movie. I watched it because my buddies were all telling me about it yesterday.
Starting point is 01:28:21 They thought I'd love it. They thought it'd bend my mind. Central Woman? No, it's called The Prestige. Ooh. It's a good one. I've never seen it before. Really good one.
Starting point is 01:28:31 And, you know, it was like maybe 10 o'clock in the morning this morning. I woke up, rainy Sunday, a little hungover, and I fucking perched myself up. I got my little tits all in order in my bed. And I just hit play on this fucking movie. And what an experience that was. Shout out Christopher Nolan. Shout out Hugh Jackman. Fucking Christian Bale.
Starting point is 01:28:54 I mean, the cast is incredible. Scarlet Johansson. I am blown away by that movie. Yeah. The way that you can write that, and I don't want to give it away, because I know it's a 2008 movie or whatever, the fucking endings out there.
Starting point is 01:29:07 You should have seen it already. It's like when people are like, oh, you tell us Dumbledore died. Yeah, he died like 25 years ago. Fucking... We do a lot of Harry Potter references on the show. Yeah, I love Harry Potter. Me too, it's good.
Starting point is 01:29:17 Man, the fact, to be able to write something like that, where in the very last scene, it all comes together, that's something that I can't, I can't comprehend. You know? Yeah. And Christopher Nolan's written like seven of those movies. The other ones, you know, this one really I enjoyed. Sometimes the other ones are like, fuck you, Christopher Nolan. Like, Tennant sucked.
Starting point is 01:29:40 Like, come on, dude. Like, oh, we don't get it. Yeah, because the movie doesn't make sense, dude. If I have to start thinking out of my brain, because, like, I, like, I got to start, if I have to search Reddit to see what that movie meant, it's not that good of a movie. Like, let me just know what's happening, right? It's a fucking three-hour movie. I should know what's happening.
Starting point is 01:30:00 This movie, you could get it. You know the twist. You know the turn. You know, oh, even like Inception sometimes is too much. It's a great movie, but it's like, oh. Okay, let's get back to life here. I watched, um, if we're doing recommendations, I watched Ted Lassa this weekend. Oh, you did.
Starting point is 01:30:18 Dude, such a good show. People have been telling you about it. What? Is it too corny? Is it corny? Not at all. It's the right blend of everything, I think. Well, Lurch, we're asking you if something's corny.
Starting point is 01:30:29 It's like asking someone's, like, ask us off the sky is blue. Why? You think I'm corny? No, but like that's your sense of humor. Like, you're like, ah, let's have a laugh. Let's, let's enjoy family and fun. And, like, you're a better. you're like a nicer, lighthearted person.
Starting point is 01:30:42 So I think Ted Lasso is a blend of everything. I actually think it's like, is he a good coach? Is he just a funny coach? I think it makes your mind go in a different place. There is a blend. I was sort of a compliment, by the way, Lurch. It's, it is, but it is a blend where there's like, there is serious shit that happens.
Starting point is 01:30:59 There's, like, real life things they talk about. But there was early on, like, the first episode or two, I was like, this is not, like, this doesn't even represent a real person that exists. You know what I mean? Right. Like, a person like this doesn't exist. And I'm, that actually still might be the case. But it's like, it's a feel good comedy show. Like, it's a good fun watch. He won all those golden globes. It's got to be a reason. Like, shows like that usually don't take over that much. And he took over the awards like week. Yeah. For being like a comedic, he's a soccer coach. So like that's, yeah, I got to watch it. It's on Apple TV, though. It's another one of those streaming service.
Starting point is 01:31:36 Yeah, you get another one. Yeah. Jesus. It's good. So you can do like a week for, free though and just rip it true how many one season 10 ups all right all right i may i may crush that like this weekend all right yeah that's easy to do um all right guys all right folks that was fun that was a great time uh tonight dust and jatson get excited we'll be back on thursday as always hit it hard hit it hard hit hard hit hard it hard you're hard you're hard
