Fore Play - Not A Golf Podcast, But…

Episode Date: December 14, 2021

A golf podcast unlike any other — doing everything in our power to touch as many non-golf-related subjects as possible. Tiger’s coming back, so we discuss that, and then: Vegas, the greatness of comedy show nights, Trent going out in public, the genius of The Beatles and of Beethoven, how often we entrust strangers with our lives, and much more.You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.

Hey, four play listeners. You can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcast, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon music. Foreplay bars, stool of sports. We got Tiger Woods. Okay, that's really the way that we should lead. That's what I woke up with this morning. It's what's all over every golf Twitter account in the world. It's the PNC Championship. So this very weekend, it's Tuesday now. Friday, Tiger Woods plays in a pro amp at 9 a.m. Saturday and Sunday, he plays tournament, air quote, to tournament, little hit and giggle, but it is a televised golf event. He plays a tournament golf Saturday and Sunday. We will see his game on TV live for the first time since last year, since the PNC last year. So it's been a full year, full circle.

So we obviously got all that to look forward to. We've talked about it quite a bit. Not a lot has changed, but we're obviously going to talk about it a little bit more. And then we all had some big weekends, a lot of things going on. I have a full-fledged Vegas weekend, which I want to get to. I know Trent and Frankie brought home the first W ever at the new Islanders ring. So we've got plenty to get to. Owens mixtures, okay, get to that.

I saw a little Thursday, transfusion Thursday popping up. Look at these boys smirking. I mean, that yeah by Frankie was like, it was like he was a high schooler that was like super horny and didn't know what to say. And he just said, he's just like, yeah, it's cool. Because it's just, we'll get into it. But it was just a funny night just seeing Trent in public and also at an Islander's game in my element.

And speaking of that new arena, transfusions, Barstle transfusions, Owens, Owens mixers, they're in that arena. Trent and I saw him, we drank them. We had transfusions. You know, it's the official transfusion mix of UBS Arena. So shout out to Owens. Shout out to the Islanders. But yeah, what a fantastic drink.

I know that I felt bad because a big part of the original Owens, you know, chats working with Josh and the whole crew over there was how big they are in arenas. And then right after we announced the Owens deal, the whole world shut down and people weren't allowed in arenas for like two years. So I popped at their back. I thought they were probably at. UBS, but I wasn't 100% sure, so I'm nice. It's nice to, you know, to hear that.

And again, it's just really simple. It's easier on the bartenders. It's easier on servers. When I see a cart person, shout out to Kisner, who's, you know, whipping up drinks on the golf course, and they've got these. They always rave about how much easier it is to put Owens in. So it would be the same for you at home. Go to Owensmixers.com. Go to go Puff.

Go to Amazon. Go wherever. Get Owens. I got a bunch of good flavors. Our favorite is the transfusion, but we got the margarita mix and all kinds of good stuff. A little grapefruit and lice. for the Paloma for all the big large lurchy fellows in the world. So yeah, big thanks to, big thanks to Owens.

I'm going to start just with my little Vegas weekend. So first thing I want to say, we did three big events that were kind of, I guess all three kind of bucket list. We saw Nate Bargazzi perform live. He was unbelievable. Went to a Vegas Knights game and then saw Dirk's Bentley. The first thing that I want to address is that when you move out west, Vegas becomes a completely different object in your life. Because every other place I've ever lived, St. Louis,

Chicago, Connecticut, Boston, New York, spent a lot of time at Pinehurst. Vegas is, might as well be Australia or it's at least like as far in your mind as L.A. Like going to Vancouver, like going to San Francisco. It's just, it's a serious full-fledged commitment. When you move to Arizona, it's a 30-minute flight to get to Vegas. It's a less than four-hour drive if you want to go. go from Scottsdale. So it's much more prevalent where people are just like, hey, let's like pop over to Vegas. So we had this planned a couple weeks ago. It was like, hey, the Knights are in time. I know a couple guys that got season tickets to the Knights, put this whole thing together, popped up to Vegas. First thing we did, Nate Progazzi, that guy, I cannot explain how awesome that guy is.

I know Frankie just went through the whole Shea Mooney thing. And I was in like the whole experience. I was going through almost deja vu of exactly how you described. Him and Shea are good friends. They play golf in Nashville of like, I just shot Nate a text at 9.30 p.m. on Thursday. I even know he was in town. I saw him post on Instagram that he's playing Shadow Creek, shot him a text like, hey, how did you play at Shadow? And his response was, I'm doing a show tonight.

Are you coming? And I was like, I didn't know you're doing a show. He was going on at 10.15. Shoots us a text, 930. Hey, here's my tour manager's number. How many people you got? I was like, dude, we got like seven. I'm sorry.

Like, don't worry about us. I don't want to be hassles. He's like, no problem. Hooks us up with seats. His dad goes on first. His dad was unbelievably funny and completely, completely different than Nate. And he gives, you know, he's doing his bit. And again, it was like so unique.

It was different, which you're not surprised. You're kind of like, isn't that really his dad? What's going on? And then at the end, he literally started getting teary-eyed and just said, I can't explain to you guys how much it means to, us how much you support my son. And the whole place was just like, oh my God, like, what are we getting in for? And then Nate comes out and he goes, yeah, that's not really my dad. And everybody loses their mind. It was his dad. He was just doing like part of his whole bit and it goes into his

thing. And the guy, you know, like he doesn't curse once. Okay. He doesn't use any vulgar language whatsoever. The other like five people that I was with, they didn't know who he was. They'd never seen any of his Netflix special, whatever. They were cackling the entire time. And afterwards, we're like, I cannot fathom that that guy just exists. And I didn't even know it because they're like, I'm obsessed with his Netflix special. He has us immediately like we go in backstage afterwards, hang out with him for an hour. He tells us where he's going to go to the casino with a couple buddies. We hang out with him for like two hours and just the best night of all time. And really, like, that was my first comedy show since COVID. And like, the fact that people don't go to one

those every week. It's so good for your soul. It's so good for your life just to like laugh. Like there's nothing better probably on earth than just laughing. And for somebody to do it without making fun of anyone, like he does it almost at no one's expense. A lot of times just his own expense. He was doing all new material. So none of it was in any of his comedy special. So it was like pretty damn new. And his stage manager was saying like I guess his last special he did, which is around the time we probably had him on the show was like whatever it came out in March or something like that. And he's like, We did a show two weeks later, and he showed up with 100% new material. And we all were just like, oh, my God.

So that guy, I know we've had him on the show. We've raved about him. Just a 15 out of 10, that guy. Yeah, he so effortlessly does clean comedy that I watched. The Tennessee kid was the first time I had heard of him and the first time I had watched this comedy. I probably watched it four times before I even realized that it was clean. Like, it's just so funny and so good.

You just realize you don't have the, you don't. You don't have to be vulgar to be funny. A lot of comedians are, and I love that comedy as well. But Bargatsy is really sort of in his own lane and that he doesn't swear. You're right. He doesn't really make fun of anyone but himself. Sometimes his family members. But for the most part, he's making fun of himself.

He is, if you haven't seen the Tennessee kid, you have to watch it. It's on Netflix. I've watched it probably 30 times at this point. It is so, so, so funny. Yeah, I'm jealous that you got to experience. If we're being completely honest, that's awesome that you got to see him. It's one of the best comedy specials on TV ever made, really. I mean, when you think about, like, what Trent just said, how he's able to piece it together

and keep you engage without talking dirty or using that type of language, which, like, we all love, like, to be completely honest, like, I probably say the most curse words on any podcast on the planet. It's just the way I speak. But the fact that he's able to figure out a way to, like, describe the jokes and not have to have those punchlines be these dirty, crazy, like, slacks. slap you in the face type words because that's usually like the punchlines and most jokes like fuck man that guy is funny he is so so genuinely funny the type of guy that would make you laugh just as hard on the golf course by playing with him as he would on the stage at a comedy show

how good is a night of comedy like i don't i think there's so many people out there that just haven't been to a comedy show before and it is so damn good like it it's just amazing so if you're out there and Nate's around, go to them. If somebody else is around, it's a good comic, like, go to them. There's so much great comedy out there. Nate's obviously at the pinnacle of it. But it's just the best night ever.

Like, you just go there and you laugh for a couple hours. Like, what is better than that on this planet? You know what I'm saying? It's amazing. It's probably one of the best parts of New York City, honestly. You just jump into a bar and there's seven comics that half of them are probably really established comics, and the other half are trying to make it.

You find one that you've never heard of before. and the guy blows you away, the gal blows you away, and you're like, holy shit, that guy was so funny. Let me go search him on YouTube. It's the greatest night and you're at dinner, maybe drinks after, and you and your buddies are all talking about the jokes and you're trying to remember the punchlines. It really is just such a unique, fun night that I never think about to do, but then when you do it, you're like, man, we should be doing that all the time. Right. Like, I'm embarrassed by how the little amount of shows I've gone to in New York City. Like I've been here for five years, and I have not gone to nearly enough comedy shows, and there's comedy everywhere in this city.

And it just makes me think now that I got to go to more, because it is really a fun night out. And any given night, Jerry Seinfeld could just walk up on stage or Louis C.K. or Bill Burr, they just show up. Right. I actually, frankly, I thought of you. I was scrolling through Instagram the other day, and there was a comic, and I wish I knew his name in this moment. But he's got this joke, and he's like, you think you're in America? Zoom out. You're on a space rock swirl.

lean through the one. I sent that to tread. That's Pete Holmes. Is it? Okay. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But like, Pete Holmes, shout out Pete Holmes. Just a fantastic joke where it's like the zoom out.

And that's why comedians are just beautiful minds in terms of you think you're in America right now, zoom out. It encapsulates everything in just two words that you're like, yep, pull back. And now we're just on this space rock. Just hurling through just nothingness. And he's like, nothing makes sense. Anyway, shout out Pete Holmes. Dude, he's talking about how our molecules are the same as the molecules in a chair and the table. And then he's like, all right, sounds good.

I'll never think about that again. Dude, I saw Pete Holmes, speaking of going to shows, like nine years ago, he came to Iowa City. And me and my buddy, Dan, who also was a huge comedy fan, we went to the show and had such a good time. And we actually took a picture with Pete Holmes afterwards. You probably can't tell from that clip. he's like 6-8 he's he looks well he had a great show on HBO it was called oh what was it called oh shoot oh come on crashing crashing where he'd bring all these comics on honestly it's not on anymore but it's worth going back and watching the two seasons very good show very good show like a night

out of comedy rigs i saw on your instagram you're like yeah i just belly laughed and like my abs hurt after it because that's the way you leave it like there was a i went to bill burr live show in boston and it was just non-stance and bill burr is probably the best in interacting and just killing a crowd member like if somebody's just on him i don't think there's somebody better in the business than bill burr just like decapiting that person from the audience um and you leave it and you're like i'm exhausted i didn't work out but like my abs it's they're truly i mean yeah sports games you know concerts all amazing if you have not been to a live comedy show show. It's just, it's a

Moscow. It's a must, must go. I saw Dan Soder in the back of a bar two months ago and he made me laugh so hard that I almost puked at the table. I was drinking a beer and he said a punchline to a joke where I actually couldn't contain myself. It was like one of those spit out

your drinks type moments and I almost puked. I was coughing for the rest of his joke and I don't know that I'll ever get that moment again of pure panic and like my body was overtaken with just whatever gets released when you laugh. My whole body was overflowing with it.

I was overdosing on that. Dude, our one buddy Brett that was with us, every, he was two seats over to me. And I checked on him five times because he was doing, his head was down like this. He was laughing so hard that his head was like below the back of the seat in front of him.

And I was like, is he? And he would like pop up and he was like crying, laughing the whole time. And he was just afterwards, he's like, I can't believe the experience. And I just was like,

he experienced an exercise. of laughter the entire night. And it was just fucking fantastic. It was to the point of like he, when he was like, thank you, everybody, have a great. And we all looked up and were like, was that 15 minutes? And we looked and it was an hour and like a half that he was up there doing his show. And it legit, you thought it went by in 15 minutes. So that guy is the best.

And you're right. Like we're, it's obviously when you live in New York, which is one of the best places in the world to live if you're going to try to experience a comedy show, probably a lot easier. Like I'm thinking back to like St. Louis. I don't know what experiences you could possibly find and St. Louis. But if you hunt down like a top comedian, go check their schedule, go check their tour dates and get to a show if you don't live in a place like New York or whatever because, man, you are right. And it will change. Like you will start to make that a routine, a frequent occurrence for you and your your date or your friends or whatever because it's fucking so good how much it delivers. And they always deliver. It's like they go up there and they're just not like

a sports game where you go up and the Islanders lose seven or a row. It's like they just deliver every time. Like it's going to be funny every time. And they do go everywhere. Like growing up in Sierra Rapids, some of my favorite memories was going to comedy shows like when the big axe would decide to come through Cedar Rapids.

Like we saw Jim Gaffigan, Brian Regan, Jerry Seinfeld like these big names. You definitely saw Dane Cook. You definitely saw Dane Cook roll through there in Cedar Rapids. I never saw a Dane Cook show. I don't know if you ever came to Cedar Rapids. He probably went to Iowa City. That's probably more of a Dane Cook town. But like when they, I mean, they go all over the country.

They go on these huge tours. Look at Tom Segru's tour. Look at Burt Kreischer's tour now. You go through the dates and I guarantee they're going to be somewhere within at least like an hour of you. And you have to go and just experience it for all the reasons that we're talking about. Burke Chrysler played in Green Bay. If he's playing in Green Bay, they'll play anywhere. I think he played in Cedar Rapids too.

Bargatsi was in Cedar Rapids? Was he? Yeah, because he went to the home of golf, San Andrews, where I, where the course I grew up. He had a, I will say I like that he mixed a little bit of golf into his routine. And it was so good. He had a little bit about like finally playing with his wife and like bringing his wife out there. And he's like, you know, and he goes through the whole thing about how tea times and how like tea times aren't like, you know, a haircut or something. It's kind of like, hey, she's like, no, no, tea times.

He's like, we got a tea off. And he's like, so, you know, our tea times 11.06. And it's like, it's 11.04. We're driving the first tea. And she's like, all right, I got to hit the bathroom. And I want to grab, you know, a drink. And he's like, no, no, this is, we got to be there at the time. And she's like, well, how about I just like drop you off?

And he's like, okay. So he's like, she just drops me off with just my driver. And he's like, little did I know, I would play the first four holes with just my driver. And he's like, I can't tell you what it feels like when the people behind you are looking at you. And you're just blading shots back and forth over the green with just your driver. And you're thinking, what are they thinking about me? And where the fuck is my wife? You obviously didn't have to say fuck because he's more talented than I.

But he just, he was able to work everything in. then he jumps from, I mean, he also doesn't do necessarily a linear store, right? He does so many different topics and transition from one to the other. God, it just takes an enormous amount of talent. So check out his shit on Netflix and wherever you can find his and go find out if he's going to be anywhere near you. Okay, I want to get to more of the trip. I got to get to Blender's Eyewear first.

Sliding season is finally here. Blender's eyewear has all the fresh gear your head needs to get down on the slopes. We're talking a little skiing, shredding the gnar. Blender's new snow collection is cleaner, colder, and more colorful than ever with three lines of goggles, extra lenses, helmets, and beanie's blenders is hooking you up with good vibes all winter. It is true. You got to have good goggles. If you go skiing, I don't lurch the big skier as well. You get out there and you got bad goggles.

Your day's over. Oh, you can't see anything in front of you. You can't tell like the differences in the snow in front of you. So you just ski like a total jerk off the entire time. You want to try to ski it well. It's dangerous. You can't see anything. If you just lose your sight basically for the whole day,

you can't have that. Also, I'm looking at on Blender's Eyewear right now. They got the roaring legend, which has replaceable lenses. So for the skiers out there, you get a bluebird day, you get a snowy day. You got to have the right lens because visibility is massive. You also get the guy that's got just, it's like a cloudy day and they have, you know, crazy glasses that are just full tint. They can't see anything.

Then they like hit a little bump in the snow. It's just a double unbuckle. and they're just eating it in snow. So it's good to have good eyewear out there. I feel you guys just be in a different language right now. Yeah. Dude, I'm telling you,

what's a bluebird day? So Bluebird is just super sunny day on the slopes where there's no cloud coverage. So it would be like a super sunny day where you want to have, you know, a dark lens, right? So you can still see the mountain. But then on a cloudy day, you want to have a really light lens. So you still have a ton of visibility. And so now good eyewear, you can replace those lenses so you can have good visibility on different days. So, Trent, you can get like, and you know, you're skiing, right?

It's a dangerous. People die. Fast. So it's a unique. You obviously want to be pretty, you want to be pretty locked in in terms of being able to see things properly. And you can get a day like they're just saying, especially on the dark side, like where you have kind of a dark lens and then it's kind of a dark cloudy day.

And all of the snow just looks like a shadow basically, like a consistent shadow. But it's just not. There's bumps and there's little, you know, ravines kind of of snow drifts and banks. And you just can't ski the whole day. just like you're just trying not to die the whole day instead of enjoying yourself. Right. You go to this tentative skier that's like, I just hope we get down the slopes each and every time because there's also no, like you can't take off your glasses like your sunglasses either

or your goggles rather. Because if you do that, it's just so cold that your eyes basically pretty much freeze up and depending on, you know, if it's a snowy day or whatever. So goggles are vital. Blender's eyewear, they got great goggles. You should check them out. To score 15% off, blenders purchase, visit blenders. Iwear.com slash foreplay VIP.

They used to just not travel across the country in the wintertime because you had to go across the Rocky Mountains and your whole village would die and we just are like, yeah, let's go up there and have a good time. And it's pretty turbulent up there. Dude,

I just watched the, I just watched the Netflix documentary, the alpinist, alpinist. I almost watched it last night. Wow, bro. Wow. Mark Andre Leclair, I believe that's the name.

Just scales these mountains. And I know we've all seen free solo. You've seen the videos on YouTube of guys, climbing mountains like Spider-Man, completely, you know, unhinged and completely just not connected to any sort of rope or any sort of whatever. Um, this guy does this as well, but he does a mixture of wall and also snow. So you'll watch him climb this mountain with these ice picks and these ice shoes, right? Like you've seen the ones where like they dig into the snow, like the edges of the fucking boot has these three little

picks bro he's climbing fucking mountains with those things and with these two ice picks and finding little crevices on this mountain and you just

and there's no music in the documentary during these parts it's just the natural noise of him searching with the ice pick rattling around the mountain and then he finds something that he thinks is gonna fucking hold

and the next minute is like is he really going to put all his weight on that ice pick and pull himself up and find a new spot. And to the point where I stood up for my bed and I watched it with my hands up like this, like, oh shit, oh shit. Because you really don't know how that's going to end. Like maybe the fucking documentary has him just following it. You know what I mean? You have no idea. Oh yeah. Because if you watch the free solo ones, it's that guy Alex Honnold, I believe is his name, who's like the big one that they follow. He has like,

like all of his friends are dead. Right. Almost all of them. Right. Yeah. Right. Right. So it's like it's really pretty. It's more common, which makes that much more horrifying. And he's in this one talking about how crazy Mark Andre is.

That's nuts. How he would never do any of the stuff he's doing. I'm telling you right now, I've recommended a lot of things on this podcast. I've recommended DMA as a music group, the band. I've recommended Molly game, Molly's game, amazing movie. I'm now recommending I get around to that. I'm not,

yeah, Trent will refuses to watch it. I'm now recommending the alpinist. I still don't know if I'm saying that correctly. It's probably the alpinist. Alpinist sounds a little ridiculous. Like alpine skiing, right?

So that's what you think. I know, but I know, but. Alpinist. It's got to be often words when you become, you know. When I came across it on Netflix,

I thought, I don't know how to say that word out loud. I mean, you don't say pianist. You say pianist. That's great. Speaking of pianists. You should watch Santa Blumen?

No. To go back to last show when we talked about, was it Mozart? Yes. Yep. I don't think we gave Mozart enough credit. I got a lot of DMs. I'm sure you guys got the same. Some of them were being congratulatory to me saying,

thank you for sticking up for such a figurehead in the music industry. And, you know, the world of music, you finally said something correct on the podcast that Mozart was in fact, talented at playing. music because he had this mind and he was also a choreographer of music, right? So what we didn't say, though, was that he was maybe one of the best pianists of all time. Like, we were kind of dancing around the fact that maybe he didn't play an instrument. People are saying, if you go back and read like the literature of Mozart and listen to all the compositions that he wrote, he was able to figure out these fucking crazy

piano I don't know what the word you would are they um sonnets that sounds sure are they sonnets I don't know sure the point being did you see the Beethoven thing I mean if you need any

you do need you out there listening you need a reference point for how good this shit is this this thing that went viral on Twitter that I found And coincidence, I don't know, it just stumbled upon. This person playing Beethoven's music that he composed and wrote playing the music and it's just a bird's eye view of the piano with the sonnets or notes or whatever coming across like in rock band too. Yes. Above it.

It is the most shocking and impressive thing I've ever seen in my life. Like this, it looked like it had to be a computer generated person playing this. And it was just a human with their fingers. And it's like, for fucking, for two minutes straight, they just hit note after note after note that are not hitable. Like you can't,

you need like 37 fingers to do it. And they're just doing it. It's like you won't believe how talented they have to be. Super impressive to write that, but it's so much and such a cluster fuck that it's way more impressive to play it. I'm sure there are these musical minds and geniuses that would say, how the fuck are you able to come up with that,

with that composition and be able to figure. out all those notes and have it be one amazing piano piece. I physically watch that and I physically couldn't understand how they, it made me sick. I got nauseous watching it. But then when you actually create the music, you've got to figure out what's possible. Like,

you know what I'm pushing these people to like the max performance based on how many keystrokes they're actually able to hit. You know, like it is, I think both sides are wildly impressive. And I think at some point, yes. Data would say that it's way harder to write the music because a lot of people can play it. Less people can write it.

I guess just because my brain is so wired to our generation of music where everything has to have like a melody and that to me is writing a song. I think of that. I think of the 70s and the 60s and the 30s and you know what I mean? Like I think of actually writing a song. I couldn't wrap my head around that being an impression. song to write as opposed to like a very impressive thing to be able to play if that makes any sense. I don't know. It's just, it's not my taste in music listening to classical piano bullshit.

I guess what I would say is like being able to, being able to write it and then also play it is clearly you're a savant. You are a genius. And to go to something similar where someone in that field is on just a pure genius level is I started watching Get Back. Is that what it's called? The Beatles documentary? Is that when it's calm? I mean, Paul McCartney in that thing is the biggest wizard.

And he's speaking a different language. He's a different species, a different creature. The way that he sits there and just invents music that becomes iconic, when they go through, I think it's towards the end of episode one, when they're just riffing and creating let it be, it is, it's, I mean, it gives you the chills. And it makes you feel like such. a lesser human being that, you know, if a golfer hits a golf shot, it could be amazing, but like we all talk about how you can hit that one shot and come back. Every single thing

that Paul McCartney and the whole crew is doing when they just invent these iconic songs, even them breathing seems unachievable to me. And they're putting it all together and creating these magic in this room and doing it in a couple days. Probably the most impressive fucking thing I've ever seen. Yeah, it's, I wish we had a documentary for every single album they wrote. Yes. But you know what's crazy about that? And I looked it up the other day that he, at that time, Paul McCartney's 27 years old. Yeah.

Feels like he's a 55-year-old weathered. He looks at, Jesus. Because he's got the beard and he's got the hair. But like I was trying to think of like, how old are these guys when they're doing all this stuff? And you're thinking that, oh, now the beils are coming to an end. So they got to be in their mid-30s. They're not even in their late 20s when that's going down. I love them all, man.

It's crazy. Loretta was a frying pan, whatever they say right before. And you're just watching Lemon and McCartney. But she's just a frying ban. Even their fights. They're like, they're so chill in their fights. When they're fighting with each other, they're talking nicer to each other than we ever speak to one another.

There's also a great part that you're probably not too yet, Riggs, or you might be. I don't know how much you watched where some guy writes like a scathing, like all the Beatles are breaking up soon and they've had fist fights and all that stuff. And they like make a song to it. Well, like Paul McCartney reads it out loud to the group and they're like, They're jamming to it. It's fucking awesome.

They're jamming. He's like, The Beatles will never be the same. And he has the, he has the newspaper up like he's reading it to the fucking Vatican. So good. Dude, when you're watching it, it feels like you're watching a reenactment of it.

Like, there's no way that could be the footage of the actual guys. The way I described it to Robbie was it feels like a huge Beatles fan discovered a time machine and was able to go back and set up cameras in that studio to capture the making of that album. Because if you're just there, you're just in the camera as another person in that room and the footage is you just watching them. At what point, they almost do a drone shot, it feels like. They do like a circular shot around the whole operation. And you're like, what, what is this? Did somebody create them in like a sim game and they're giving us footage that

clearly does not exist? Almost like I felt about when we, we discovered my brother's hole in one footage on a live photo like two months after it happened. When you're like that, Nobody recorded that. That's not possible. We get it. Thank you, God, or a higher power or somebody for just providing this footage that didn't exist, that only you as the superior power could possibly have witnessed and filmed. It's like that the entire time.

And it's so cool. It's so good. But it reminds me, again, when they're sitting there just kind of riffing and inventing these songs, that genius, that level was similar when I witnessed the Beethoven, you know, playing of the Beethoven. There's people out there that don't like the Beatles. which I guess is similar to me saying I don't understand or like Mozart's fucking type of music. I guess it's that same connection where the people at Mozart's time are probably thinking,

how can anyone not like this guy's music? He's out of this planet. He's otherworldly. Look at these things that he's creating. And for me, I'm saying that the same thing about the Beatles. And people really just, I don't know,

there's a disconnect there where they just don't, there's a lot of them like they like Led Zeppelin more. They like Pink Floyd. And like they'll say they're not a real rock band. and they were glorified boy band and the whole thing. And I just think you're looking too much into it, which I guess is condescending from what I was just saying about Mozart. But the fucking Beatles are Beatles.

I mean, I'm not the biggest Beatles fan in the world, but you're wrong if you say they're not interesting. Like they're dynamic, what they meant to the culture, like everything about them. The head of the band got assassinated after they, they wrote how many songs and what was it, five years really as a band? Hundreds of phenomenal songs. That was the fascinating. That's actually what got me hooked on them in terms of like trying to figure out more about them was how short their run was.

Because you think that their run was decades long and they've been at it forever. But you find out it's basically from 1960 to 1969 at most. Right. It's a very short span. I will say too that I've been caught up before in thinking that they are like, Frankie said, sort of a glorified boy band that they really were almost a surface level band that just got lucky in the right time and really good management and branding. And I guess what you really learned through this is how talented and conscious of musicians they actually were. Like Paul McCarty

talking about how they don't want to be lame. They don't want to be corny. They want this like and they'll go for for 10 minutes on this one chord and how it needs to be like an E versus a G because that's a little too corny. Do that again. And they're like, they're fucking grinding over every little detail of their music. Someone isn't just handing them really well-written songs. They're paying that person off. And then they go out there with some really good technology, good marketing, a decent voice and become icons. Like they were just writing and creating music. That was also very different. Like, Sergeant Pepper versus like, let it be. Like, these songs are so fucking different from one another. And whether you love the Beatles or not, I do think when you watch the actual.

documentary, like how their, how their sausage was made is infinitely different than I guess, like even my perception of them as sort of this surface level boy band. They're awesome. They're fucking Beatles. There's a video that Robbie Fox sent me once that showed, because one of the people, probably my favorite part of the whole documentary is Ringo, just sitting there and being Ringo. And then everyone always shits on Ringo for being a very, um, simple, simplistic type drummer. where he doesn't add too much to the band and he's just kind of going along.

But the real drummers and musicians, they do understand how fucking good Ringo Starr is at the drums, one of the best of all time, just because of he created his own style of drumming. Like, that simplistic style of drumming in that type of music is the Ringo style. And there's a video on TikTok, I think it was, of the guy saying, um, you think Ringo Starr is just this, like, you know, ho-hum drummer that the Beatles just happened to make really famous because they were friends with them. But watch when I, so he plays a song and says, this is what Ringo could have done. And he plays it really simple.

And he goes, and this is what Ringo did. And when he, when he does the really simple beat and then the beat that Ringo chose to choose, it's fucking mind-blowing. You'll hear a song that you've heard your whole life. And you can't believe how intricate the fills are and how perfectly timed the bell of the ride symbol was hit. And it's fucking nuts. And when you watch get back, you realize when you're doing that shit live, dude, they're playing those live.

That recording. All that recording is live. It's not dubbed over. It's not, you know, cut and redone. So with all these fills, like Ringo has to just fucking hit him, man. He's keeping times. You have the metronome in his brain. Wow.

And Frankie, get, I have this right that like they're, they're playing their, their versions of these songs. And they're fresh. They're brand new. And they're not, they don't give him anything on the drums, right? He just creates the drum compliments that should go with what they're doing, right? It's just kind of listening to it and he's going along and they'll tell him when the breakdowns are, when a fill should come in. But it's all just feel, man. It literally just pours out of him.

Should you go to the high hat? Should you go to the ride? Should you go to the crash? Should you go? Maybe you do something different like you're on the tom-toms or, I mean, wow. It's a talent. You listen to under pressure. And it's, and it's, it's, you know.

just, it's stunning. Like, dum, doodoo do. The way he goes from the tops to the floor tombs, like most people would just go do dun da, do dun dat, but fucking Ringo thought this crazy thing on the tom-thons and the floor tons. And it's the most iconic fucking

sound ever. God, I love that band. Hell of you. They're great. They're great. All right. We got more Vegas stuff I want to talk about real quick. So the Vegas Knights game, the second part of it was Friday night. Been a bucket list thing.

as a big hockey guy, not a hockey podcast, but Vegas knew in the last four years, clearly. They do it differently than everybody else. They got, you know, a whole like Cirque Deslai show that goes on pregame and all that, which was extremely cool. Everybody's right about that. One of the main aspects of what makes the Vegas Knights game so cool. If you haven't been to one, make sure you get to one, is nobody drives to the game. So the atmosphere is awesome because every person there comes from one of the casinos.

they walk there with a drink in their hand down the street, they walk into the stadium and they are ready to go. They've been going throughout the entire day. There's no real corporate aspect to it. There's no, like, there's almost no family aspect to it even. It is, it's almost similar to, you know, a college rink or stadium or arena that has like enormous fan or a student representation instead of like alumni. That's what it felt like because everyone, again, is there almost acting like a college student who's been drinking, party, and hanging out. They don't have to worry about driving or being responsible. They just fucking walk to the arena from wherever they're at or the rink.

And then they walk out afterwards. There's a really cool, like, bar sort of area that complements the seats where people are standing and hanging. If they're not in their seats, you don't have to necessarily go back into, like, the concourse and disappear. So the whole atmosphere around the Vegas Knights game delivered and was, you know, one of the cool experiences that I've had in terms of going to a hockey game. I imagine, like, the new I wonder.

rank is probably pretty fucking awesome too, just a modern building out of ranks instead of sort of of the old school ones. New barns are always fun to see though. It's like any new barn that you go into is awesome, I think. I'll say this. Well, I want to make a comment on what you just said. So I don't want to sound like a Jeff Shackleford old dinosaur where you have to put me in a home and and wheel me to the window. But everything you're describing is not a passionate fan base, right? Like they're getting away with having an unbelievable experience because of it being Vegas, right? So you're missing out on When you compare it to a college drink, you're getting that atmosphere at a college drink because those kids live and breathe that logo and that school and they want to party and see a win and they want to celebrate a championship. You got the Vegas Golden Knights are getting a lot of that because they're getting cheers and chaos out of you.

Like St. Louis Blues fan who's there on a vacation who just wants to be a part of the party. And that's very unique to any other sport, any other arena in all sports. What I would say, though, is that the, what I think is pretty much consistent throughout the entire NHL, is that like the top ring, the 300 level seats are all diehard fans. Those are the cheaper seats. Those are the cheaper. They got jerseys on. They're going crazy.

And that's 100% full and 100% exciting. I think if you go to almost any rink in the entire league, it's that way. And usually the bottom bowl is a little bit more corporate. They're more expensive. They're not quite as like passionate. they might not be full because it's a lot easier for those people to just not show up to the game or choose not to go because they got them through work or whatever. I thought that that whole level was full of people like us that were going through like

the Vegas experience, didn't mind spending a few hundred bucks because you're gambling at the tables anyways. And so I thought you had a little bit of both. You're right. And that like, fine, the Vegas, you know, they're not as passionate or old school, whatever as like Toronto Maple Leaf fans, but they're a brand new franchise. Of course, they're not going to have that history and that passion. So I thought you got a little bit of both.

It's clearly going to be different. I guess what was really cool is that they leaned into knowing what's going to make their thing special and aren't trying to be, you know, the Detroit Red Wings in terms of, you know, original six team. They're like, no, no, we're fucking Las Vegas. Let's lean into Las Vegas. And so it's different. It's not going to be like an Islander's game. An Islander's game's not going to be like a blues game.

Everything's going to be different. Vegas wasn't trying to just be like an original six franchise. They were clear, clearly. this is Las Vegas, this is Sin City, and they're doing it their way, and it just worked, I thought. Yeah, no, I like that. As long as they're not trying to be what they're not, and they're accepting the fact that, because every single person that I know that's gone to that game has the same reaction as you. Like, you wouldn't believe the atmosphere.

It's a show on the ice. Every person I've heard that from is a fan of another team. I've never heard of so many fans going to an opposing stadium and having so much fun and not even caring what's on the ice. Like you don't care who's playing. Golden Knights versus the fucking cracking. All my buddies have gone. They've all gone to random games.

And they've come back with the same reaction. It's amazing, which I love. I love that for hockey. I think that's awesome. I just hope that it doesn't get compared to because like the Islanders don't even have that. We don't have that fucking all time historic fan base that shows up. Like the Montreal Canadiens when you show up to that that's the reaction. Like when you go to a Canadian game and it's just hockey, that's that all time.

What the fuck is my team doing? We should be doing this. This is all time stuff. And I just don't want that to be compared because I feel like Vegas is getting up there with like best experience in sports. But it's also in, you know, I'd almost compare it to like the waste management Phoenix Open versus the Masters, right? Like it's going to be a wildly different experience. But, you know, the Phoenix Open isn't trying to be the Masters, right? They're not trying to do Pimento cheese sandwiches.

They're doing like throw beers at players after they tee off on 16 and that's fine. So I sort of, again, looked at it that way. And like, you can't have the Montreal Canadiens environment because hockey is part of the culture in Montreal. It's not part of the culture in like Las Vegas, Nevada. And so, yeah, I did think they did a good job, I guess, of not trying to be something that they're not and just going all in on what they can be. But you're right, it's not going to compare. And like if you're a diehard hockey person on Twitter who's part of hockey Twitter who thinks people shouldn't like your sport because they don't understand. stand fucking all sides, right, or whatever, then like, you're going to enjoy a Montreal

Canadians game, probably more than you're going to enjoy Vegas nights game. But I think for the average person, they leaned in the proper amount. Yeah, that's a good explanation. I got to get there for a game. And I don't know that I'd see an other game. See, like, it's the same thing. My buddies, like, I think I'd just go see any game, get absolutely shit face, go back to the casino after. And there's just a great night. It's like seeing a show. It's like seeing a comedy show. You just, it's a night out. Yeah, we took, speaking of arena, as we took Trent daddy to UBS. Beautiful arena. We hadn't had a win leading up to that. So kind of a weird atmosphere inside. Dark cloud over the islanders this year. Just can't figure it out. Some crazy shit's happening.

Something's in the water. But we needed a spark. We needed a plug. So we brought Trent in that good positive energy. We brought him down to the glass. He was three rows off the ice on the blue line. And he just got in the mix. And we had all you can eat and drink in the dime club. And Trent daddy's walking around eating prosciutto sandwiches and fucking. pulled pork and pizza and stuff in his fucking pockets with candy. It was a hell of a night and the islanders got to win. They beat the devils.

Trent is such a good viewer of the game of hockey which I didn't know it was surprising to me. I mean you have Iowa, you have a minor league hockey team in Iowa so you know the game. Shout to the rough riders. Bro. Like rushes, like three on two rushes. He's like getting up

and and the defense stepping up and intercepting a pass he's like giving him a clap. He knew the game when the puck was something is, and I'm keeping tabs on all this stuff when I go to games of people. I can't. I'll be honest, this is the first time I'm hearing of this, so I'm hearing my own report card

read back to me. When a puck is ice down the rink, Trent's already like halfway when it's coming down, Trent's already looking at his phone because he knows there's going to be a whistle. You know what I mean? Like he's anticipating the game. Good grade. What do you give the kid for a grade? Oh my God. I'm giving him an A-minus and the only reason they would have lost. What if they would have lost? What if they would

have lost. The only reason I'm not giving him an A plus is because I think that's as high as you could possibly go. I want to leave some room. It's almost like the Dave Portnoy, uh, pizza review scale. You can't give the guy an A plus in the first experience. Like he got as high as he could get for first experiences. Well, don't. Does he have to go to every game now? Does you have to go to every game now? Well, I will, what do you think, Trent? I want to hear your thoughts on the I mean, I had a great time. I'll go to a game anytime. You want to go to a game anytime I'm invited to a game. I had a really good time. I mean, the dime club was an experience that I was not expecting. Frankie texts me like Saturday morning being like, hey, I've got these tickets. We're

going to go. Do you want to go to the game? And I had nothing else going on. As I've talked about a lot on this podcast, I don't leave my apartment all that much on the weekends. I like to just hang out and do nothing. But I really weighed my options in terms of how badly did you want to say no? I feel like you were really close to being like, no. I was very close to saying no. But then I was like, what am I actually doing today that like if I'm going to give Frankie a reason? Because I didn't want to just say, No, like what am I going to say? I'm back to the court. Right.

And I can't, no, and I came, I played it in my mind. I came up with nothing. I was like, why not? Like, live hockey actually is a lot of fun. I went to a lot of Rough Rider's games back in Cedar Rapids. It's a hell of an experience. I've only been to, I think, one other professional hockey game. I went to a Rangers game with Gaz when I first moved to New York.

But I was like, let's just go. I'll just go and it'll be fun. And then after I said, yes, Frankie was like, by the way, we got unlimited food and drink so we're going to have ourselves a night. And that was just a great cherry on top. That was strategic by me, by the way. Oh, those clubs are incredible. Well, I ask them if you want to.

A lot of MSG is off the chart. So I assume this is the same thing where you have like seafood, candy, anything under the song. I asked him if you want to go to the game before letting him know we had access to the club just to see if he actually wanted to see the hockey game. Yes. Also my fiance, I'm like, we're going to bring Trent to the game tonight. I think.

I'm like, let's see if he actually wants to go to the game first. because if I say, hey, Tret, we have this all you can eat access. He's basically going for dinner. You know what I mean? He's not coming for the game. So he locked in on the game. He was just a human with their fingers and it's like... Right, he came in for the game with the cherry on top.

It's all you can eat proshoot. All you can eat popcorn, the whole deal. And dude, I'll pump the tires and we'll get off this topic after this. I'll pump the tires at UBS for a second. It's like that chaser thing that you're talking about, but the way that they did it at the UBS arena, basically the whole bowl on one side of the UBS for. of the ring from faceoff dot to face off dot in the whole hundred section they all have access

to this main concourse at the top of their seats right so i'm talking the whole thing from faceup dot and it's all you can eat so you're basically walking around this massive dude massive concession stand area and there's thousands of people and everyone's eating for free now obviously people pay for it right like the tickets are probably a little more expensive a lot of them are seasoned tickets so they're like built into there but they do not skimp out on the food man shrimp pasta with shrimp scampy and steak. I mean, there's cutting steak, like thin slices of steak and giving you New York strip. And I'm like, man, like, there's thousands of people in here getting this access. So they've done a really good job of bringing the casual fan of really high-end experience,

I think, at UBS, because I don't think it's that expensive to get in there. So, um, really cool. We got a W. We're back on track. And dude, I'll say this, Trent was a fucking star. not only in the crowd, but the players, because we were sitting pretty fucking close. It's hard to not see us. Like, I know they're professional athletes and there's 18,000 people there, but like we're right in their face at some point.

So like my buddy is like, like me and Brock are pretty tight. Like a couple of the other guys in like after the game, they're like immediately texting me. A couple of the guys in the team saying like Trent Daddy's an Isles fan, love it. Like I didn't even have to tell them that Trump was at the game. They're looking at Trent when they're taking face offs and maybe like the puck went out of play and they're looking around.

They see Tred sitting there fucking clapping and sipping on an ice cold Coca-Cola. Man, it was just a great night. It was a great day. It was a really great experience. And going into the third period, after the second period, they bring out cookies. They switch up the menu and they just bring out more cookies than you can even fathom. And you go up there and you fill your plate. They got the, it's the coldest Coca-Cola I've ever had in my entire life.

Something about they give it to you. you in the, well, it's all you want, so you self-serve, but it's in these like aluminum cups and they're just ice cold. And again, it was, it was just a really fun experience. One of my main takeaways is that Zadano Chara is the biggest human being on the planet. Yeah. Yeah. Like I, I've obviously heard, right, I've heard how big he is and all that. And I forgot that he played for the Islanders. I'm not, I'm not that big of a hockey guy. But as soon as I saw him, I could not believe how massive he was. But the whole experience, I'm glad I went. That is, that's what always is. That's what I always up happening. Go back to the Russian bathhouse. Like that's another thing where I said,

I'm going to say no right at the last minute and then you end up going and having a great time. Going to the UBS Arena was the same experience. Frankie was like, you should come, I went, had a great time, and I can't wait to do it again. And he saw a char of fight too. He saw a char right in front of us. That guy's face off. Yeah. I mean, you can't. I mean, you can't. I mean, I was running around Boston one time. And I was just like, just running, I mean, probably really slow but then I saw this like kind of like you were actually running you were like literally running it was kind of a run walk but anyways such a boss through those knees ears I saw this like gangly kind of like tall like just big dude like reached down and then I got closer to him it was just the an

charn and it was like reaching down for his kid and he stood up and I was like oh you are just a hulk of a man and I think also when he was with the Bruins he would always win like the pull up challenge like that guy is a physical specimen to be that big and skate with these NHLers. Like he's one, like he's the Shaquille O'Neal of the NHL. Like he is so wildly impressive. It's just an athlete. I mean, certainly he's past his prime, but just, and he's also just not to be messed

with. I think he's only fought a couple times in his career. And every time he just decapitates the other person. Do you feel overwhelmed when it comes to handling personal finances?

I'd never seen him before. He's got a lot of big time songs. You know, people love him. He's, and he was there. There was a whole rodeo going on in town. So it was a big kind of country theme, he'll over the place. What I didn't know, I wasn't fully up on my Dirk's Bentley is, dude, at the end of his show, and he's done this very, very fully. I think this has, like, its own Instagram account. His band and him turn into a punk band. What? Like, they literally go, he does this whole thing.

He did this little bit at the end where he's like, all right, guys. And, you know, there's a lot of country stuff going on. So it's really, really hard to book venues. And we got in touch with this really small band that they couldn't find anywhere else to play. So we figured why the hell not? We're going to give them this opportunity. They run off stage. they go change into like 90s rock like band stuff like hilarious you know like uh Nike windbreakers

that are like neon and and then they come out and they literally turn into a parody 90s rock band they become pup punk and they do that for like 30 minutes of singing parody songs and being like a joke of themselves and it was laugh out loud funny and i was just like they're just pop punk like they literally became punk at the end of their show. And they probably slayed too. Oh my God. Oh my God. It was so good.

I have like videos of it. I wasn't sure how to like portray it properly. And again, people that are hardcore like Dirk's Bentley fans, I'm sure, understand and know that this is a big thing that they've done, I'm sure, forever. But literally like this country star, okay? They turn into this at the end. It's a little hard to see. but yeah this will be good for an audio it's a little look at it yeah yeah yeah yeah and they're like

their whole background is like a mock rock 90s early 90s like country rock band and it is it was really really good reminded me a pup punk got me all jacked up so you need to do a little bit of research into that fricky because i mean it was you guys it was just you guys on stage they were doing like they were just mocking everything about even themselves and they changed you know i mean one of his And I wrote this down where, you know, he did this whole thing. And he was really good. Dirk's was fun. And I heard actually a little bit of mixed things about Dirk's Bentley Live.

And I even had a couple of people when I posted things being like, he's terrible live. So I didn't really know what to expect going in. He was really, really, really good. He was incredibly invested. He did this whole thing on, you know, the Vegas shooting. And that was obviously around country. And I believe he was performing that during. that entire thing. So he did a part dedicated to the first responders and to everyone that was

affected in the Vegas shooting. And it's his song like Riser and it's very emotional. And then the Pup Band, they're so committed to the, you know, the Mop Band that he did a mockery of that and it was called like it was out to everyone who's on the Pfizer. And it was all about like Viagra. is owned by Pfizer. And so Riser and like the Viagra thing. So literally went like full, full other way and fully committed to this hilarious, you know, like again, like punk type band.

And so he covered such a wide spectrum before him like two, two or three hours. And he and his band were just absolutely excellent. And they hit all the fields from again, like really intense, dedicated to obviously a horrible tragedy to making you laugh out loud up there with their whole crew. So Dirk's Bentley was awesome too.

Dirk's Bentley, man. Yeah, he's a powerhouse performer for sure. I've never seen him, but you look at his streaming numbers and the whole deal. I mean, that guy puts asses in the seats. What a weekend for Rigsie Boy. That is, now you said it was a 30-minute flight, too. Did I saw Dustin was there? Did he scoop you from Scottsdale or what was the transportation system?

Because he is a pilot. Have you guys heard of JSX? No. So JSX is. is a no friez, but they're like a really small, I think it was like the JetBlue founder, somebody from JetBlue founded JSX and they're basically really small planes that have their own private little terminal and you pay like a little bit more than you would for a Southwest flight or even pretty simple. And they fly like Scottsdale to or Phoenix to Vegas.

So is it like Cape Air kind of places? You know, like Cape Air in like the New England area that kind of flies out to like, I don't know, vineyard and things like that? I've never done Cape Air, but like, so I think the JSX flight had 30 seats maybe total. You show up to a private terminal. You literally like you walk in, you go through no security. You walk in and there, they check you in your ID, check you in really quickly. You need to be there 15 minutes before your flight. And it's basically a private experience.

But, you know, it's like there's 25 other people on a private job. jet with you essentially that you don't know is kind of what it felt like the whole time. So we took that. And again, it was maybe whatever it is, 30, 45 minute flight. And they pop you right down. And then you don't have to go through McCarron, which is obviously the big, you know, Vegas airport and the chaos trying to get a cab. And then on this end, you don't have to go through Sky Harbor.

They go to like Dallas. They're starting to do a few more places as well. But anyways, I had never done it before. My buddy told me about it. And we booked, you know, it's like 300 bucks each way, which is really not that much more than, you know, a typical round trip flight. If you do Southwest Air, but you skip everything else. So anyways, we did JSX.

Dustin, who we all know, who played in the scramble against us, he was just hanging out. And he was texting me about golf. And I was like, by the way, I'm going to your favorite place, Vegas. And he's like, fuck it. I'll drive over there and meet you because I think he's L.A. So he drove like three or four hours and hung out with this couple nights in Vegas. So it was a great little weekend.

And again, that's just completely new when you move out west that Vegas is accessible like that. It was like going to Boston. I mean, from New York is very easy. What a weekend. Sounds pretty good. It was a great time. lovely experience one thing I wrote down

I always do little notes I put notes down I was just say it's insane how often we just trust total strangers with our lives and I thought about that on a couple different instances one was on my flight home

and obviously you're having a little bit of the scaries the shakes all that you're coming back from Vegas after a weekend but I was just thinking like when you get on an airplane man like there's so many people that you are fully trusting with your life

that you've put full control out. Obviously, the pilots are a big one, but I'm talking the pilots of your plane, the pilots on every other plane, right? Like if they just mess up and run into your plane, it's over. All of the air traffic control people, there's planes taking off, flying,

and landing, circling, doing all kinds of crazy stuff. So that air traffic controller needs to be like on their game. And then when you get out, you get an Uber, you trust the Uber driver. Then when that Uber driver drives through a fucking green light, he's just trusting that like the other people are going to stop it. that red light and not just drive through it and run into you and just eliminate you instantly.

So I just was having a little bit of epiphany kind of thinking about, holy shit, what are we doing out here? Just all day, every day, you entrust so many total strangers. And we all know people are idiots. We're idiots, right? Other people out there are idiots. People on the internet are idiots. And if any one of these idiots just fucks up, it's over.

And there's nothing we can do about it. Nothing. Modern society depends on it. that's also just there's no way of getting around life without i think every part of your life unless you're in a dark enclosed room is relying on other people like something as simple as even when you're in that dark and closed room my neighbor right now could just be negligent about their hot water heater or their boiler and they could just fucking blow their house up and blow mine up just from them being fucking stupid or i could fucking walk into my apartment building and

some guy could have not checked like a wire was burning through and you're going to have an electrical fire from the next fucking room over and like Trent's going to burn to death in his sleep or city it's crazy the city those things are just so compounded that it's like like who knows what's happening next to Trent right now right now he's got no idea a guy could have a fucking gun to through a guy could have a gun just point at the other side of that fucking door Trent has no idea who's in that room next to him shout out law enforcement and first responders we had a chaos to him to a minimum. You have to rely on other people all day long.

100%. I was like a little moment of road rage yet, and I didn't mean to, but I flicked this guy. And then we, like, he started like, you know, he was like right next to me, looking at me. And I should have a similar thought.

You're pretty interactive with other drivers, though, I would say, generally. Yeah, I like to keep the things. I like to keep things moving. And if someone's going 55 in the slow lane, or in the fast lane, And like we're going to have a little bit of an issue with that. Like we're trying to get to where we need to get to.

Anyways, this guy like pulled up to the side of me and then pulled in front of me and then like pulled behind me, then cut me off and came back in. And I had a similar thought. I was like, is this guy like, like this guy could just like pull out of gun and just like. Yeah. So look like right. And then just right through the side of my head. I'm dead.

My car swirers hit the card rail. And like it's, and this guy just, you know, he drives. Nobody's fine. This guy. Yeah. So that there's craziness out there. I will say, and let's hope it doesn't happen too much. A couple things. One, quickly, I live right by the UN, and two weeks ago, a guy had a shotgun

up to his throat walking back and forth. It was on the news. It was everywhere. It was crazy. I was at work. So there's, I mean, there's crazy people everywhere. And also, we had a funny conversation on Friday Night Pints recently where we were talking about our friends. Like, we're at the age now where we probably each know somebody's a doctor, somebody's a lawyer, and you would never go to them for legal advice or medical advice. Because you've been through everything with them. You know what they're like. You've been to parties with them.

You went to college with them. You've seen them do incredibly stupid things. But then we got to thinking about like any doctor or lawyer that you go to for this advice is the buddy of someone that they grew up with. And they're all idiots. Everyone is an idiot for the most part. Like that lawyer that you're trusting or that doctor that you're going to to give you medical advice is the friend of someone who has seen them do crazy shit. like in college or in high school or whatever. So you're just depending on these people that you would think because of their job

are super smart and all that. And they are to a degree, but they've also done crazy shit in the past. So you're just going to these people hoping that you get the right advice. Yeah, that's a great way of looking at it. You know what I mean? Sometimes I think about myself like, man, I'm a piece of shit. And then I remember so is everybody else.

Like everybody else is a piece of shit. Like we're all just pieces of shit. shit. There's like 10 good people in the world, right? Like, we all know one person that like we grew up with or a family member that you're like, how is that person even real? Like that they're just too nice. They must have something going on behind closed doors or something. So yeah, it's scary when you think about all these people we trust. It's specifically like my elbow doctor. Like, who knows what the fuck that guy's doing when he goes home? You know what I mean? Like, I don't know. Brain surgeons, heart surgeons, like your heart's in someone's fucking hands. That guy could have been, I don't know,

hit a triple boge at this local country club last week and helicopter's club into the fucking street and hit a old woman like who knows what I got a fresh shave the other day from this old man it was lovely old spot that was a weird post too though your little your post your post shave fucking you went woo and your face's all red that was a weird so so it's almost like the Russian bass situation where they put like he put like nine really nice comfortable hot towels on my face so It is an incredible experience of getting a fresh shave with a single razor. However, the trust that you give a human being to take a single blade razor against your neck, and this was the first time I ever done so, is it takes a little bit.

I mean, there was a couple times where I was like, hold on, once, like, I'm not ready for this. Because, I mean, he's an older gentleman, single, like, very steady hand. However, I'm just thinking like, is it worth it? Like, this feels great, but we're talking a single blade right against my neck. Yeah, it might have been a weird boss. What if he coughs? What if he coughs? What if he sneezes?

You got to feel like, yeah. Yeah, I'm gone. It's over for me. Yeah, it is, it's a crazy experience, but I would say it is one of the most comfortable, relaxing 30 to 40 minutes of my life. It was like having a full body massage. It was absolutely incredible. Hot towel after hot towel, after steam, after deep breaths into this lovely ta...

It was tremendous. And that's honestly the lesson at the end of all this where, yes, Riggs is right. Frankie's right. Like, we depend on so many people that we don't know and it's crazy and it's scary that we do it. But then when you do stuff like that, you get a shave like that or you go to a Russian bathhouse or you go to a hockey game that's, you know, far away or whatever, you end up having a good time. and it's mostly fine for the most part. Yeah. Things are going to happen, but it's mostly fine.

It's fine until it's not. And then when it's not, you're not even around to see it. I would say an enormous number of things go just fine all the time. Otherwise, we'd be living in anarchy, which sometimes it feels like we are. But for the most part, things work out. And when it doesn't work out, we won't even be around to see it.

True. Well, we're kind of talking about being pieces of shit. I've been working, thinking about working out, not working out enough. I wanted to get in shape. We talked about getting shape forever.

Okay. What else do I have on my little list here? we can do from the gallery you guys want to do a little from the gallery action I like that this has just been a recap of our lives yeah no one hour I got my timer at one hour and six minutes

and we haven't said one word about golf no we had a quick thing about tiger playing I think it was 10 to think of it I love that I will say quickly that's this secret sauce boys and girls okay you're tuning to this podcast right here you don't like that get the fuck out of here

how about this highest ranked golf podcast on iTunes and we haven't said a word about golf an hour and six seconds. That's so good. I saw a quick note, though, about the F-1 to keep it away from the word of golf. There we go. I don't want to say one fucking word

about that sport today. No, no, no. I'll tell you this. Lurch, no, I'll get into that with you. I got to say that you can't tweet 24 hours later that you just saw what happened. You might as well tweet that a year later. You just tweeted like,

we landed on the moon. You just did that. Like that was pretty much what happened. So my, I don't think my brand on Twitter will ever be breaking news. Maybe I'll get some, you know, on Twitter,

maybe very rarely will I be the guy to break a news story? This was, I was basically, we went to, I actually posted a picture of the childhood rink I grew up playing on. It's just fantastic. It's on top of the hill. It's very cool outside rink.

We were having some beers and there was like a general skate and actually the, the ice melted because it was outsized in like 65 in Jersey. so the general skate was gone. Exactly. Yeah, there you go. But my buddy started telling me about this F1, and I didn't do anything about it that afternoon.

And then this morning I watched the eight-minute recap of the race. That is the most absurd thing I've ever heard where they just changed the rules to make it somewhat competitive in the final lap, but they just screwed Lewis. And then Max just went right around him and won the race. It was the stupidest outcome I've ever seen of just totally subjective, oh, no, we're going to do this.

So essentially, Lewis Hamilton. If we're being honest on this podcast, I don't know what you guys are talking about. All right, so Lewis Hamilton, this is the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. So it's the last one, the championship, the World Series, the Super Bowl of F1 season. Lewis Hamilton had a commanding lead the whole entire day and going into the final lap or one of the last few laps I think it may have been. There was a crash.

And in between Lewis was a couple of lapped cars. and then there was Max for Stappin behind him, right? But Max was behind a couple of lapped cars where he would never overtake that many cars by the time he got to Lewis and then Lewis was just going to cruise the victory. And the lap cars, right? There's a lot of the etiquette in that like, yes, cars and teams

are so bad that they literally get lapped, right? Like you get lapped. And it's kind of proper etiquette for a lot of the lapped cars when guys are contending for to win the fucking race to get out of the way or to at least like not make it a fucking challenge for the guys to pass you. because you shouldn't be impacting the top three or four finishers because you're getting lap.

Right. So there was a, so that goes into account to the decision making because there was a crash and they decided that once they were going to resume the racing, that they were resetting the field. So taking the lapped racers and bringing them to the back. So now it's Lewis Hamilton in one, Maxras happened in two. He's right behind Lewis Hamilton to start. He has all the chances in the world in one lap to overtake him. And he had fresh tires. Lewis didn't do a tire change because, like, he was like, no, I've got this gap.

There's no way that he'll be able to get to me. And then in, like, in instant, they were just like, no, we're going to let these cars advance. And it's going to be basically like a one lap shooting long race. Yeah, shootout between these two cars. And it was like, it left the Mercedes team. So Lewis is part of the Mercedes team. Max is part of the Red Bull team. It left the Mercedes team speech.

I mean, it was in our. outrageous ruling. Could you, I mean, it is an outrageous ruling to put on that race. Now, what I don't, I'm not, uh, Formula One like super fan, so I don't really know, but I, they're saying it's a very uncommon ruling, but it obviously is a ruling that they can do from time to time, right? Like they've done that before. Right. That's where I was having a hard time making a judgment because I don't know the rules well enough. It sounded like enough people on Twitter were defending it by posting screenshots of the rulebook, basically, where, where it didn't seem, like they didn't just make up something that they don't do.

It's been done before and it happens in this scenario. So I was really kind of in a weird spot where I, because half the people were saying they just handed the title to Max for Stappen who, you know, because they wanted him to win. And then there's all this history of Lewis Hamilton and him being very public about certain stances and, you know, against certain things, which is, which is awesome? And he obviously has that right. But like, is there a bigger power that was trying to say, fuck you to him and steal the title for him because of more underlying issues. And so I, I didn't watch it live and I don't, I just watched the fucking Netflix documentary like most of us. And so for me to be like, oh yeah, that rules violation there was I just don't know enough about it. Right. I was going to

say, ask me in two years when I watch it unfold on Netflix. Like then I'll have a real opinion about it. Because I, 99% of the world will do. You know what? Like they're all going to be in your shoes where they're just waiting for the Netflix series to like explain exactly. Because we don't really know the ins and outs of fucking Formula One without the Netflix series. If you asked me to watch on us, if you ask me on a Sunday morning to watch Formula One and think I'm going to know all the ins and ounce of it without watching the documentary, you're insane. Right. I follow this sport two years behind. When it's happening on the show, that's when it's happening for me. Yeah. And that next season will be not to believe, not to be believed because of just how much drama that unfolded this year.

It needs to happen for me where they have a narrator explain every single. detail of what I'm witnessing. Agreed. And they will. They got to have that for every sport, man. They have to have a Netflix series for every sport. I hope they'll fuck up the golf one. Yeah, I'd say the PJ tour.

They're doing for the PJ tour. Which is huge. We haven't heard anything about that recently, right? Like what players have signed on? Have they started filming? No, but we've heard from a few players that said that they got, they kind of do like a weird feeling out interview with some of them of like if they'd be interested and how it might go.

but no outside of that I haven't heard anything about which I think is good like they should keep it a little bit secretive right you don't want them to roll out every detail before the show even comes out but yeah hopefully they don't fuck it up they can mess up the tour they somehow pick the perfect sport in that and I don't know what their relationship is to the media like F1 guys versus the media or whatever that's like but it seems like they get pretty much all the access they want and that's what you need for something like that the worry with you know a PJ tour one or any sort of American based sport is that their relationship. with the media usually isn't that great and they don't want to open up to the degree that the F1 team seem to have for that show. Right. The F1's access is essentially having the access to John Rom, Justin Thomas, and Rory McElroy in the PGA. And going home with them, talking with their managers,

seeing how they feel after losing a tournament stuff like that. That would be outrageous access. I mean, they have the best racers, all of the racers in F1, just side-on. And one thing they did incredibly well with Drive to Survive is that they started, right? They started with like Daniel Ricardo and like some of the like middle of the roadish stuff. And Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes and then were almost like Darth Vader where you, they were very mysterious. You didn't kind of just he just kept winning and they didn't even really discuss the details of him winning.

It was more these other teams fighting for fucking seventh and this stuff. And then all of a sudden what episode they just hit you with everything and it like starts. with Lewis Hamilton sitting down in the chair and you're like, oh, I'm going to get an entire episode or two episodes. And he's like going back with his team and apologizing if they didn't win a race and it's heated. And so if they could do that, you're right, where they can, if they could hit you with, you know, they get the Kisner's and the Max Homas and it's pretty entertaining. And then all of a sudden, one episode, it's like Rory McElroy going through him reading Zen books and then coming out on top in a major or something. That would do everything for golf that it's done for F1. I would say,

I remember when you were explaining F1 to me before this drive to five, before I started watching it, it felt like Game of Thrones. Like you start in Winterfell and you hear like whispers about the Lannisters and all these other territories. And you're like, man, I wonder what that's actually like. And then fucking Circe Lannister sits down and like here's what it's like to be the ruler of the seven kingdoms. Like if they could somehow make it that way for golf. But like I said, it seems like golfers, PGA tour players relationship with the. media and every American sport isn't great. And like the access doesn't seem like it's possible.

Yeah, you'd almost need like Tiger back in his heyday. Like, you know, like where he was just winning all the time. He was like that Mercedes team and you just like heard whispers of Tiger and all the other players trying to like capture. You know, too bad he's not in his heyday anymore because that would be perfect. But yeah, you need something like that where golf doesn't really have that today. No, it doesn't. It does not.

And again, if Tiger was still in his head day, it would. wouldn't need this Netflix special because everybody would just be watching golf all the time and going crazy for Tiger and nobody else would matter. But yeah, if you could get that, I mean, imagine if they do, if they hit you with an episode of Tiger Woods after, you know, when he's like, we're restarting and showing up at the Masters or St. Andrews for the British Open or something like that. Again, possibilities are endless. That's why I say I hope it delivers. I hope it doesn't disappoint. Barstool Golf Time app delivers. If you haven't used that, you're a moron.

You are missing out. You're missing out on all kinds of tea times, rates, deals, and then points, rewards. You can get dinners, hang out, rounds of golf with us, merchandise, all kinds of good stuff by using the Barstool Golf Time app reviews. Okay, now through the end of the year, we are having double point rewards rewarded to people when they submit course reviews. So again, do it for your fellow golfer, your fellow man, woman, friend of the game who likes to get out and book tea times, leave reviews when you go to a course.

Tell them how the greens are, how the students are, how the staff was, how the bar was, how the T-boxes are. If the place is air-rated, not air-rated, if the views are great, if they're overrated from the pictures on the website, whatever, leave course reviews, earn points to get, like I said, discounted merchandise, tea times, prizes, rewards, things with us, all kinds of good stuff. Use the Barstville Golf Time app to book your T-time. It's what I use. I go and I review, I post these videos of golf courses all the time. That's literally how I figure out what courses to go use as I jump on the Barstle-Golf Time. app, pick a course, check out the information from reviews that are folks have left.

You can rate it one through five stars, all the good bells and whistles that you want on a review app. And then I booked my tea times that way. So if we're doing it, why wouldn't you do it? Yeah, you need a book of tea time. Why not use the one that's going to give you rewards to win cool stuff at the end? It's as simple as that. It's that simple.

So use the Barstool Golf Time app. I know you're still sneaking in rounds of golf. You know, I know as long as there's not snow on the ground, you motherfuckers are getting out there. You're dusting off the clubs. You're playing a little bit of a little bit of a cheese. So again, use the Barstook All Time app to do it because if you don't, you're just giving up a bunch of things that you could otherwise get. All right. Boys and Girls. I think we've successfully talked the less percentage of golf on the show that we've ever talked, we've ever discussed. Yeah. It's got to be a record. I will say that if it weren't

for the fact that I think our last two or two of our last three episodes, we talked about Tiger Woods the entire time. And if you want a little bit more, the beauty of us, right? We're dynamic motherfuckers. That's what we do? Is that what, four shows ago? We did two straight hours with Harry Higgs talking as much golf as you could possibly talk. So sometimes you get Vegas trips and Iwinter games and you get the randomness of taking a flight

and how somebody could just kill you at any moment. Sometimes you get really hard hitting golf stuff. I think as we get closer to Friday and Saturday and Sunday, which is going to be our Thursday show, which we're going to have the third episode of the band and travel series, Sheep Ranch. You're probably going to get a lot more Tiger stuff from us on Thursday. But right now, I feel like we're sort of in a holding pattern. We know it's coming, bracing myself for how exciting it's going to be watching Tiger Woods hit a golf ball. We can get all into that on Thursday.

Yeah, I mean, a Coke one, right? So congratulations. Yeah, and Kevin Nah. and Kevin Noss. So yeah. Congratulations to those guys. Way to go. Islanders won, so more important than that.

I had a question for you guys that I was talking about with my buddies a little bit, and maybe we can do a quick little debate on this. But if you could go back and see one sports moment or maybe be there for golf, like one sports tournament, not just a moment, but like there for the event, what would it be? And this is not, you can't go back to this point in time because of where your life was at. It would just be like you right now would go into a teleportation system and you'd just get to be there for it. Would it be like 2000 Tiger? Like what do you want to be there for?

I think if it were the full, if you could if you could do for like a full year, it would be probably from from Tiger winning the U.S. Open in 2000 to 2020. Tiger winning the Masters in 2001 because all I've heard about is that hype, those eight months from when Tiger won three majors in a row to 2000 until when he was going to have the chance for the Tiger slam. And April, like, I didn't consume any of that. I wasn't like into golf like I am now. Whatever I was, I was fucking 13 years old, 14 years old and just not as plugged in, focused, whatever. I think experiencing that where again, everybody says that's the only thing that was ever talked about.

That's the only question anybody ever got was Tiger Woods. Is he going to win four majors in a row? And then he went out in 2001 at the Masters with all that and beat Ernie Ells and Phil Mickelson and David Duval down the stretch and won the Masters. I think experiencing that as Tiger fans would be as good as it gets. Yeah, I think that has to be where you would go because you look back on it now and you're just reading stats off a stat sheet. And like that's obviously super impressive.

You see the Learboards. The numbers are crazy. But once you get older and you realize that, media coverage really does contextualize a lot of what's going on, and it steers the experience. You can go back and look at all the stats of all the old Super Bowls, but you're just looking at who won and who lost. It's really, you get nothing from it, but actually living through it. And now that we've lived through a few other big sports or just even historical things in general, you realize that all of the talk surrounding it, everyone, what their opinion is,

the questions they're asking, that's actually where you pull the experience from. Just looking at numbers isn't nearly the full experience. So I think getting to live through that stretch of Tiger, which is the most dominant he's ever been, like you would take a lot more away from it other than, oh, he won four majors in a row. We've lived with that with Tom Brady, like right now. Right.

Like this, my living of being like actually understanding the goat has been Tom Brady. It's too young for Michael Jordan, way too young for Tiger Woods. But like, Frankie, I'm surprised, would you not go back to the 80s and watch it? Like, my jump to right away, like, yes, on the golf side, it would be Tiger, but for just a human being, I was able to be, you know, a college individual when the Giants won the Super Bowl. That was awesome. But if I was of this age for the 94 Stanley Cup run for the New York Rangers, that would just be

the jump to, like with the guarantee in the game seven. We will win tonight. Like the whole thing, that would just be bingo, where, like, if you could be your age now in the aisles,

we're just turning the page on 1979 and go, like, you're just having the best five years of telling everybody to go F off of you're like. Crazy. Tell my dad, I would,

I mean, if I saw four Stanley Cups in a row in my 20s like my dad did, I don't know if I'd be alive right after. Right. I mean, yeah, that's.

Well, so here's the thing that I was going back and forth on. Like, my question was you're going into a teleprice, You're going to teleport there and you're going to experience it. Do you get that same feeling of just being there and seeing the Stanley Cup when you didn't get to experience the ride? Right. Like I'm saying you get one event to go to.

And am I just going to go to game five at the Nassau Coliseum? Yes, I would love to see a Stanley Cup happen at the Nassau Coliseum. That's my dream. But what it means as much to me, knowing like I already know they won because I just hopped into a point. portal and I'm just going to go back and see it. And number two, like, do I experience that same love by just being in the building, like watching everyone else cry? I'll probably get wept up in the fucking emotions, but...

Then it's the 1980 miracle game. Like, you're not just... Right. I was going to say, like, do you want to go see Babe Ruth? You want to go see Babe Ruth? You want to see Babe Ruth, like, break the home run fucking record at the time. Like, what did that look like? Like, I don't know what the best event to open up the portal to and you just go

and witness it. I don't know. Without question, I jumped to the 1980 miracle game, us first Russia. That's a good one. We're talking different countries, the social climate, like everything. And this team is just sweeping through the NHL, like taking these people down as like little pawns. And now they play this like almost college all-star team. That's that would be it, I think.

But again, the storyline affects that though. The lead ups affects that day. Right. But if you're in a portal, you kind of know that information. If you're saying that I already know the outcome. Yeah, you do. You have that backstory. You just don't get to see the.

all the games prior. Fun fact about that is that game was tape recorded and they played on, you know, later that night, which is really, really wild to think about. Crazy. So people on the radio knew. I'm 15 minutes late for a Barcelona class of meeting. Everybody's waiting for me.

So unfortunately, I have to, I think I have to go. Okay. That sounds about right. Well, hit it hard, boys. All right. So I, sorry. You guys keep talking. I don't care.

You guys do whatever you'd like. Yeah, Frankie, finish your point. Riggs, do you go ahead. Frankie can finish I gotta go Alright I don't know See you later rigs

I don't know I was just kind of Like I was kind of Saying I don't know Until he left Now I can talk shit about him You know

I am jealous that he got I am jealous that he got to see Nate Bargatsy live Because we have not done that yet It's awesome I'm very jealous of that That guy doesn't know A good band if it smacked him in the fucking face

Dirk's Bentley I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I actually liked her Spentily. I got a long ride today, Frankie. What should I listen to? I actually have to pick up a cop cruiser and drive it from Pennsylvania to I guess DC area pretty much. Good bands.

Any good wrecks on the car on the trip? Well, you've listened to Sturgle Simpson, right? Oh yeah, I love him. Like when you said that, I was like, oh my God, he's so good. So that could be because I have to go to Pennsylvania and then down, but it's mostly like through Pennsylvania into D.C. And it feels like I'll be kind of in the backwoods trees. And I'm thinking, Sturgeon.

You should listen to his new album. His new album from front to back. Like, what is it, old dude. What is it called? Dude in Juanita. Dude in Juanita. If you listen to it from song one to song whatever it is, 12, it's a whole story, you'll like it.

All right, I'll do that. There you go. Yeah, I like that. That gives me something to look forward to. We got a trip on our hands. To kind of finish off that top, that discussion, I don't know what the right choice is. I think I would probably go, I think I would go for a Sunday for Tiger Woods to win the Masters, like 2001.

You know what I mean? Like that, like what Riggs was saying, the final cap of the Tiger Slam just to be there and actually watch him. If I got front row access on the other side of the ropes, inside the ropes access for Tiger Woods, a 2001 type Tiger Woods, come. on. Now, in a silo, would you say, I'd almost say like the 2019 Sunday Masters win would almost be better in a silo than like if you already know that he won by X amount of strokes or whatever the case may be. I want to see how he played back then. I want to see the difference.

Or maybe I picked the one where he won the U.S. Open by, what was it like 14 strokes? Like how much better was he than everyone else to kind of be there firsthand experience? But yeah, I think a lot of caveats of that question with like you already know the outcome but right i think there's a lot of different ways to go about it and yeah we were just talking about it over a beer and there's a lot of moments in history where you're like man it be really cool to see it and just see the difference in like what it is today right like was there they were still human being like when you watch a babe ruth the reason why it came up is because that clip of babe ruth walking to the fucking batters box the the other day came out and you're like man those were actually real people like you when you see

these black and white footage of these old school, whether they're TV shows, movies, or sports, they don't look like real people. They're like moving in fast motion because everything was like sped up with the film and you don't picture them as like a bunch of guys sitting there saying, who do you think is gonna fucking win today? You know what I mean? You don't, you don't. You don't picture them as people. No, you, you weirdly don't. And you like, you go back there. Yeah, their clothes are much different and like maybe the way, like the things that they're talking about different because different things are happening in the world. Different culture. Yeah. But they're the same, they're the same.

There's people. A hundred years later, they're still at Yankee Stadium. There's still people there. Right. So it's crazy. I think of, you just think of them as legends, though. You know what I mean?

Like, when that video came out of that little clip, like, then you, like, I would think about my dad and like different generation and him being at the ballpark. Like that hit me from a bunch of different lengths. It was, you are right. It like brought them to life, though. Like, it was like, wait, these people actually did live and. move around. Right.

They're not just pictures. Yes. Right. Because Babe Ruth is the mythical creature. Like in all of sports, he's number one. Totally. Just, yeah. My brother and I were talking about just like a little bit different, but, you know,

you think of your grandparents or your great grandparents. You might have a crazy old picture of them. You know, that's just, that's, you know, weathered and a little bit like almost was ripped and somebody taped it back together and like, no, this is your great, great grandmother. And it's like, oh, my God. Generate, like, two generations removed from us are just going to see HD footage of, like, us idiots, like, talking on this podcast or with your sisters. Oh, great-grandfather Frankie was smacking his asshole with the orange and out. Okay.

I don't know what the fuck my great-grandfather is doing. Yeah. No, all this stuff is recorded. And it's HD video. It's unfortunate, too. 100 years from now, they're going to be talking about whatever medium that they're, you know, talking about golf on. And they're going to be like, look at these assholes. I wonder what that's going to do to our civilization.

Frankie's not worried about his great, great grandchild that's trying to be a doctor. But like as we overcome like, you know, the kid that you knew that's now trying to be a doctor but was a total screw up in grade school, he's trying to write the wrong for Frankie's just human brand cursing him. Exactly. Talking about nothing. I just wonder what that's going to do, civilization. Because civilization is what it is because of those generations that grew up of us not knowing anything that they did. and we just kind of all just fall in line and do our own thing and we live the way the world's supposed to be.

Now there's so much access to know so many more things about the people that you grew up like that that raised you. Like, dude, our kids, my kids aren't going to listen to a fucking word I say because they're going to be like, look at all the shit you did. You know what I mean? Like there's no way of being able to move forward from what we've done in our generation. Like my parents are able to be like, go to school. Like that's the right thing to do because I can't be like, well, you'd be like, well, you'd and fucking go to school. I could see you on TikTok.

You're on TikTok every single day. Like, they're going to be able to say that to us, man. I'm hiding this for my kids if I ever have kids to the day I die. Just like, never, nope. Fuck, dude, that's going to be scary. Well, that is. I'm going to go eat a tuna melt and, you know, something nasty with it, maybe a Coca-Cola.

Oof, sounds so good. I got a lot of comments on what I ate the other day. A lot of people saying that I got to. shape up. I did just finish a five-day-d-use cleanse and then I posted a picture of myself after a Saturday morning workout. I thought I thought I was going to die. I was so tired because Trent, we talk about all the time of we're not made for long distances. That's right. So I went with my brother. We're trying to like get healthier. It's kind of a pitch for us. He had back surgery, he's trying to get a healthier body. We went to the gym for like two hours from 6 a.m.

to 8 a.m. Saturday morning. And I was kind of done an hour and a half in. I was like how much time do I, or how much time do you have left to finish up what you need to do? He's like another half hour. So I went to the treadmill and I'm not made to run like, you know, three, five miles, just like consistent, just like running. So I try to do like interval sprints and I was cranking that treadmill up to like 10, 10 and a half full out sprints. And then I would dumb it down and walk for, you know, five tenths of a mile, whatever the case may be. I was, whoo, we, I thought I was going to die but my heart was pounding through my trust. So, you know, try to eat less, try to be a little healthier as we go into this new year. We all got to shape up. We all just got a shape up.

We do. That's it. I also want to say that, oh, whoa, it's in my throat. That, um, when we asked people to unsubscribe, resubscribe and leave five stars, that we did see a little bit of an uptick in the activity on iTunes charts. So, uh, uh, you know, Again, if you've made it one hour and 32 minutes and 33 seconds, which is on my thing. I don't know if that's exactly the time on your spot here. But go ahead, go to the iTunes, click unsubscribe, resubscribe, and then leave a five-star review. It makes a big difference, man. These other fucking podcasts, they get on their hands and knees and they coddle your nutsack

and ask you to do the same thing. We've only been doing this for two weeks asking this. So it's the holiday season. It's the season of giving. It's a season of thanks. So give us a nice five-star. review. Make sure you unsubscribe, resubscribe, send it to your best friend. Tell them to do the same thing. Go to the Apple store and subscribe to foreplay on all the model phones. I know that's a big

move. Some people like to do. So yeah, that's about it for me. I got a fucking tune about him out coming. So jealous. Yeah, I think that's it for me. Anything else from you guys or what? No, I love that. It's a good little wrap up message there. Happy holidays. Appreciate the gift if you give us one. Hopefully you got to laugh somewhere in this podcast. It certainly wasn't about golf. So anyways, that's where we're at. That's for play golf. It is kind of funny saying we're like a golf podcast. It'd be like something super popular.

Like, I don't know. Let's say like we were a croquet podcast. You know, it's like, but you just talk about something that like F1 or something that's super popular and you just label yourself a croquet podcast. It's like, yeah, we're just the number one. Just trolling them. It's like, well, you never fucking talk about croquet. Like this is bullshit. We are a representation of what's going on in the world of golf.

We're not going to force it. You know what I mean? like we could dig and like really try to talk about what happened last week and like but that's just like not what people honestly want to hear about. Here's the thing. Here's the real breakdown. Why are we talking about it? Here's the real breakdowns that we're four buddies that like to golf and we're just going to turn on the mics and whatever we're talking about is what four buddies who like to golf talk about. That's just a fact because we are.

Right. We enjoy golfing. We like talking about it. But at this moment, there's really not much to talk about us, so we don't talk about it. Just like anyone else that likes to talk about golf isn't talking about golf right now. I'm never, ever going to go online and try and dig to find something about the game of golf and bring it to this podcast. I refuse. If it comes and hits me in the face or if I genuinely want to go watch it and see it and it comes naturally, I will then talk about it, which is what we talk about for 51 weeks of the year.

Right. But for some of these fucking weeks that there's nothing going on, I ain't going to fucking, I'm not going to. stretch out here. No, this is the dead season right here. I mean, this is... It's fucking December 13th. Who the fuck is talking about professional golf on December 13th? Justin Thomas and all them are at weddings.

They're not playing golf ever. Happy birthday. Rick Powell. Yeah, that's true. Four or five days from now, it's just like, it's pretty much a major. It's major time. Four or five, yeah. Yeah, it's going to be next Tuesday's podcast,

recapping Tiger Woods playing golf will be the most golf-centric podcast you've ever hurt in your entire life. Correct. That's right. Yeah. It's got to drive the competition fucking crazy when they look at the fucking the leaderboards and be like, what the fuck did these guys talk about this week? And then they listen to this thing and they're like, Jesus Christ, you made me fucking

break down the Q school Sunday tournament last week for an hour and a half. These guys are talking about Dirk's Bentley. How cold the Coca-Cola is that you? UBS Arena. God damn. What the fuck are we doing over here? That's a different game. That's the beauty.

That is. Hit it hard, right? Hit it hard, boys.
