We have a very big show today as myself, Frankie and Trent, there in studio. I'm in Scottsdale for the first time since July 2nd. It feels very good. And we have NHL phenom from the Anaheim Mighty Ducks, Trevor Zegris on the show who sat down in studio with Frankie and Trent and talked apparently about an arsenal of things. But gentlemen, how are you? Frankie, you're still blending in with the screen behind you, by the way. I am just a green machine is what I am right now. I got a green screen behind me. We're in a green quarters of it. But we are being told by producer Jake that the one that we're looking at,

and the one that Riggs is seeing is not the one that's going to be the final product, but you do look very... Is that like a green screen effect? Is that a green screen effect thing? Is that where that comes from? But you know what? It's not going to stop me or deter me from wearing this Peter Malar quarter zip ever again because it's a great quarter zip.

One of the best quartersips that we sell on the Barstall Sports store, if it's even available still, to be honest. Were you inspired to wear that today by the two guys that wore the same colored polo yesterday at the classic? Maybe subconsciously, yes. I mean, I don't know that I really thought about it that way, but maybe I saw them and was like, oh, boy, that's a great color. They were popping. They really were.

Yeah, we had Trevor Zegris. I think that's the first interview, first official interview that you and I have ever done together, just the two of us. Because we had Brian Baumgartner hop into a Zoom early, and that was a torture chamber for him. And then today, we actually just interviewed a guy normally, and it went really well. Yeah, Trevor Zegris. Like you said, Anaheim. ducks. He's also Vinnie LaTerry's buddy because he is a teammate with him who Vinny LaTerry was out with us in Minnesota at the Barstow Classic yesterday. I've been, I golfed with them three times

and three days over the last three days. So I was able to get some nice information about Zegress or Z as he likes to call him. And basically he warned me like this kid's 20 years old and he like owns the room and like is very not cocky, but very confident in like spitting out like Like, whether it's like, like, he likes to chirp you or he just likes to laugh and, like, make jokes. Like, usually 20-year-olds are very reserved, especially brand new and to, like, a new job. Like, this guy's, like, just entering the NHL. He was the world juniors MVP during a fantastic win over Canada in Canada for the United States in world juniors. So, you know, during Olympic times, everyone's playing for their country.

This guy is a, is a world junior legend. He had 18 points in the World Junior's tournament. So, I mean, the guy will go down in history is one of the best performers in that championship. He's confident. But not in a bad way. He's just, he definitely owns a room, but he's a super nice company. And he'll be a really, really good player in this league

because he's crazy skilled. Like, Vinny was telling me this guy's hands are, like, he's playing in the A. He's like up and down. He's playing with the ducks. And he's also playing with this, I guess the gulls, the San Diego Gulls maybe is the name, the affiliate.

it, but he's like, he's too good for that league. Like, he goes out there and, like, tries to do, like, lacrosse goals and all these crazy things. Like, he's just having fun out there until he gets the shot to go back onto the ducks. And then it's, like, go time. Yeah, somebody who's 20 years old is so incredibly young. And you forget, like you said, that that person has elevated to a status that's already more impressive than anywhere will ever be. And they're 20 years old. They are the same age as someone.

who is what, like a sophomore in college, which when you're a sophomore or so in college, you are clueless. You are walking out. Like you're like one of those bears still who comes out of hibernation and there's a high percentage chance you just die and you don't make it because you're 20 years old. You're not even a human yet. This person, I'm very upset that I missed it because those people that are that young. I mean, I'm 34 of the guys.

I'm almost twice as old as this fucking guy. And he's just stud playing hockey. So yeah, I'm very excited to hear this. I heard, too, that you guys delved into some of your favorite individual interest, the Newark Islanders and Borrelli's restaurant, and then The Bachelor. Well, the main, like, the best parts of that may not even be on this recording because every time we ended, I'd be like, all right, you know, we realized like we had, you know, the interview had run its course and we're about to end it. And I'd say, all right, thanks, Trevor, thanks for coming in, like best of luck with everything.

We'd hit stop record. I'd get up. I'd tap them up. I'd pop the shit out. out of the dap too. By the way, I'm on a fucking crazy streak with the pop. Yeah, you are. We did a video with the guys yesterday at the Barso Classic, and I went four for four, and I kept looking back at the camera before each one, calling my shot that I was going to pop. You also had it going on with Tyler at Forrest Dunes. Crazy. You guys would pop.

Popping like crazy right now. Every time we would hit the pop, we'd dab up. And then as he's walking out, he'd be like, he'd be the most animated he was the whole interview and be like, Frank, I got to tell you. What happened at Borelli's was freaking awesome. man, the Islanders, the fans. I'm like, all right, now sit down for a second. Let's try and talk about that. So then we'd get it going again. We finished that little segment.

We go, thank you again, Trevor. Thanks for everything. We'll see you soon. Best of luck. We hit end record. And then he goes, thanks, boys. I'm out of here. By the way, Trent, I freaking love you on the Bachelorette stuff.

The Bachelor recap, he goes, the guys at BU. We used to watch that shit like crazy. We'd all watch the, we'd have a viewing party for the Bachelor. We're like, sit down and tell that on the podcast. So it's very funny. I don't know how. I guess Jake's going to have to edit it. in where, I mean, there's just a couple stops and then we're just talking again. So it gets a little

choppy at the end. But man, what a guy. What a character. Great guy. Yeah. Stud up and comer in the NHL. So I'm excited to hear that gentleman. Well done. Glad you guys survived that. And, you know, you popped your little cherry. Frankie, we had like a goodbye dapp as well when we laughed and you are on a hot street because you pop. I'm known to like thud occasionally. I just missed. So, yeah, you just you kind of, we caught fire. I guess it's just you that's heating up right now. Big news in the Barstool Sports world. The Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl is now a thing. We Barstool own all of the broadcasting rights. And it was mentioned in the announcement, the press conference from Dave Portnoy, our fearless leader, that, you know, there's interest in a Barstool classic type

golf event around it. I was talking with Erica about this last week. But so, you know, folks have been reaching out a lot. Courses have been reaching out a lot. It is New Year's Eve, December 31st, 2021, when the Arizona Bowl by Barstall Sports will take place in Tucson, Arizona, which is only a couple hours from where I live, and we will be doing some version of the golf tournament. Now, there's a lot of different ideas that have been spinning around in my brain

about how to do it. Is it part of the Barstool Classic? Is it its own thing? Probably going to be its own thing. Do we do like celebrities? Do we do the common golfer? Do we do a mix? Do we do, I imagine we'll do like a one-day event with a shootout at the end so that everything kind of funnels towards one grand ending and we get a champion from that day.

But very cool that we have our own fucking bowl game at Barstle sports and very cool that we're going to do a golf outing somehow tied to the entire thing. I just love this place. That's what I was going to say. This is just, it's amazing. And it's going to be like completely Barstle because we're just in control of everything. We're in control of the broadcast, the national anthem, the halftime show. So we're just able to do the bar stool thing, and we're going to do with our own bowl game. I know Dave has been talking about ideas how they're going to have Big Cat parachuting in to sing the national anthem

and having Frank the tank be the coin toss guy, but have it be hot dogs. Like the fact that we have complete control of it as a company, it's just going to be one of the most must watch things that's ever put on the internet. And I'm just very excited for it to happen. And the golf thing around it, that will be as cool as well. Yeah, Barstall Sports is a place where, like, fantasy becomes reality. And it's all walks of life, whatever you cover, whether it's golf, hockey, baseball, football, no matter what, somehow, some way when you have an idea, you can make it happen. And Dave Portnoy is a man of ideas.

He has been doing this damn thing for 20 years now, and he never misses. And it's always like he is one step ahead of everyone else. When CBS, we ended up taking it away from CBS, and now, we have it and it's just going to be a thousand times better than any bowl that you'll ever watch you turn on the ball on new year's eve it's just a football game they have these generic announcers these analysts they talk about these now we have like maxion and what's the other one the mountain mountain west mountain west and these teams that are just so barstool country and like you said like frank the tank possibly being blindfolded at the 50 yard line and choosing which hot dog he likes the best

that team gets the ball first that's just like i don't i don't i don't i'm don't know how another company can even come up with those ideas or even better yet execute them. Barstle is the only place on the planet that has a person like Dave and Erica that are willing to take risks and do things and put their money where their mouth is and give an experience. Like that is going to be an experience for people. Right? It's going to be something new. Like even when the match came out, we're like, oh, this is like a cool thing that we get to see guys with AirPods in playing golf like pros like Tiger Woods versus Phil Mickelson. That's like a cool experience.

Now we get to do that on our own. We're giving fans of sport something different. There's a billion bowl games on. Barstles is just going to be different, which is really cool, I think. Yes. And it will change the way that bowl games are presented. Like I know there's going to be critics who are like, oh, what are they going to do with it? That's like a circus.

And this place is a circus. But the way it's going to be presented, like you're saying, the way fans are going to be able to experience it differently, it's going to be a whole different thing. They're not just going to put, you know, it's going to be a football game, but there's going to be so much around it that people will look at that and be like, oh, that's a good way to do it. And it's just barstool is always and, you know, Dave is always on the forefront of those things. And here we are again.

The classic is, the golf tournament will be a part of it. And then like, punk's going to be a part of it. Like, I'm going to have to play in a concert at some point. Like, I'm sure they're going to get some sort of real talent when it comes to like concerts. Also, it's going to be a whole weekend thing. It's going to be our version of like the Super Bowl, which is, which is outrageous. You've got to get those bows fixed. I got to get these elbows fixed, man.

And when Dave came over to my desk today, he's like, you know, pup punks would probably be a little bit of part of this because he mentioned it in his press conference. I looked at Robbie Fox. I'm like, boy, I, like, how quickly can you recover from double elbow and shoulder surgery? Is it, is it four weeks? Is it eight weeks? I don't know, but it's, I feel like it's at least six to eight months. Six to eight months.

So, no, we're going to have to hit the physical therapy bed hard. No offense to Trent with this comment, but sports. the greatest reality show known to humanity. It's one of the only things that we ever watch where you do not know and nobody knows the outcome, no matter what. There's nobody pulling the strings. It's just two teams or two individuals,

depending on the sport, or maybe 156 individuals. We're talking about golf who prep their asses off, spend their whole lives working towards something, show up, and then in that arena, they are going to battle for a title, for a victory, And no one knows what that outcome is going to be. That's why it's so enthralling. That's why it's inspiring.

You're getting it right now with the Olympics. Sports you even know watch. I'm watching people fucking canoe down white rivers last night going through hoops. And I'm like, this is a thing that this person has been doing their whole life. And they don't know what's going to happen. How cool is that? And then when you see the finish, you see Jacobi, Lydia Jacoby, up in Alaska and the whole state of Alaska going crazy.

sports are just the greatest reality, TV, entertainment thing that exists in the world. And Barstool now is going to own one of them on New Year's Eve that people bet on go crazy for that we get to completely run the broadcasting and presenting operation of it. And yes, that opens the door for Barstool and live sports all over the place. We've done, you know, 40 plus Barstool Golf Barstool Classic events. which are just for, you know, the average golfer. We've done the, let them play for college women's golfers where, you know, they went, they were crying at the end of it. What happened in that arena on that golf course mattered so much to them.

And do we, when we see, you know, the Tiger versus Phil matches, do we want to get into, like, the match broadcasting game in golf? Of course we do. We've been talking about that. Do we someday want to get into broadcasting some version of, college golf, professional golf, do it our own way? Of course we do. And this is a baby step for barstool sports towards that.

Football is obviously huge. So the fact that we're kind of starting there is massive. And it might take a year. It might take 10 years. Who knows. But it's very cool to work at a place where these types of things are possible. And when Dave makes an announcement like that, and you realize that him and Erica and countless of other folks have been

working that hard behind the scenes to get something like this on the books, it inspires like creativity. It makes you think about the possibilities. It sends a very positive like ripple through the entire company of like we could do anything that we want. Somehow, some way, we landed a job at a place where we can do whatever we want and that this place will support it with now funds, an army of followers, hundreds of extremely talented, hardworking employees, So yeah, it opens the door for a ton of things. And it's going to be awesome in and of itself. Like the actual rent is going to be so cool.

It's the Arizona boy. It's just going to be so full. Like you said, Big Cat Parachuting in. Frank the Tank, hot dog eating contest for the coin flip, coin toss. Like, who the hell knows? It's Barstville Sports. And that's why people love it. And that's why we all were fans of it before we started working here.

And why now currently, you know, 5, 7, 8. 10 years later, we all are just like, holy shit, it's another surprise. It's never the same thing. And it's unbelievably exciting. Can't wait. Absolutely can't wait. I'm sure we're all going to be there, and it's going to be a really, really fun inaugural Barstool Bowl.

Cannot wait. Agreed. Speaking of events, yesterday, Barstool Classic in Minnesota, Olympic Hills was very cool. We haven't really gotten to see or play much Minnesota golf. You know, you hear about, I kind of loop it in with Wisconsin. with Michigan of like these northern bitterly cold-ass places that people think of where there's a tiny window in the summertime and then the grass is greener and it's lush and it's like not you're almost nobody's able to uncover this land because it's covered with like snow and ice and so when

they do it's just pristine and that's pretty much what we got yesterday it was just a gorgeous well-presented golf course the greens looked like they'd never been putted on So they were pure, extremely difficult. And we had a few NHLers playing in the event. We had Brady Shea and Vinny Letary, who finished six under, tied for third, and took one of the four qualifying spots for Piner's, albeit they probably won't be able to play. And then we had a couple of Frankie's guys, Brock Nelson, Anders Lee, who they're all beauties.

We'll get into that. There's a video coming from the whole thing, who I believe shot two over and finished tied for 33rd. So I'm curious, Frankie, if you have any thoughts. on the difference in performance there. Yeah, I mean, you know, Brady Shea and Vinny LaTerry are good players. I mean, Brady Shea's an absolute stick. And Vinny LaTherry, that's his home course, that and Spring Hill. So he knew that place like the back of his hand.

We had actually walked nine holes the day before just to scout it out and see like the kind of place that we were playing at the next day. And he played really well during that nine holes. And he played really well yesterday. So I knew that they were going to be up for the running for winning this thing. And, you know, Anders Lee, the captain of the New York Islanders partnered up with Brock Nelson, American Hero, Good Guy, Plays Hard, Loves a Game. Shout out of Minnesota.

I knew that they were going to have to, you know, play out of their minds to be able to compete with the Brady Shea because Anders Lee was getting a ton of strokes. I think he was like a course 14 handicap or something like that. And Brock was probably a course six handicap. So they're obviously getting strokes, but like Anders doesn't play as much as he probably used to. you know, he was rehabbing after, I don't even know if it's like, has anything to do with the rehab.

I just don't know that he plays that much. He's just one of those guys that like probably plays like every so often. And when he does, he absolutely pounds the golf ball. But, you know, I don't know that he had the game in, and I don't know that he had it in him yesterday to be able to, you know, make a run that he needed to. Brady Shea,

even when he found himself in situations that most people would end up hitting a tree or whatever, was punching out through bunkers onto greens, like found a way every time to make a par, even if he had a terrible T shot. On this one par five, they call it like the hardest hole in Minnesota. There's all this water on the left. You can't drive it anywhere. Brady Shea pulls one into the water, drops.

So now he's hitting three in the fairway, punches out over this bunker. And now he's two, I think it was two, like 40, 225 from the rough. He hit a seven iron to the back of the green and just drilled a 30 foot putt for par. Just like a, and then everyone just walked off the green as if it was normal. Like that's just the kind of guy Brady Shea is on the golf course. So credit to them for playing well.

And I'm happy that they were able to perform. And I was actually surprised. I thought Brock and Anders, you know, played pretty well for not playing that much. Yeah, we had Brady on the show kind of at the beginning of quarantine. I remember he had like a 20 foot like putting mat in his place of residence.

And just a huge golf guy. He's also just a really hot guy who's phenomenal. phenomenal at ice hockey, phenomenal golfer, and he's one of those people who just has it all. Like, he's the full package. That guy is the full package. It's crazy. I mean, I don't know that you could find a better foresome of just, like, nicer and funnier guys on a golf course. Like, I got, I had the pleasure of playing with them.

So we were a fivesome. And just all day, one guy was making a funnier comment on the next. And it was just, like, really good vibes, really good golf at points. They had a little bit of a side match going at times. and like the competition and the chirps and all this stuff was so good between the guys. So that's going to be a video, right? That will be a video. Yep, we filmed almost every shot and we got drone shots and GoPro shots.

So that's going to be a video of the Islanders versus the X Rangers because Vinny and Brady were both on the wrong team at one point in their lives. So I fucking love, I love every one of those guys, though. I mean, couldn't be nicer. And I don't know if people here, this is an audio experience, but you may have to go to my Instagram or my Twitter. Oh, my God. And you got to look at this picture that I put up of Anders Lee, the captain number 27 from Minnesota. He hails from Minnesota. And somehow, some way, I don't know what the fuck is in the water at the Andrews Lee house.

But the guy's got like tumors growing on his quads. Dude. Quadzilla. You've talked about him before and I don't know anything about hockey is pretty evident. But you had talked about Andrews' legs. And I was like, yeah, you know, I've seen hockey guys have big legs. That's just kind of how they are. That's kind of how they're built.

And then when you put up that picture on Instagram, I text you, I was like, those things are out. I'm going to say the word again. They're preposterous. They are. Because in that picture, you're standing with all hockey guys, and his legs are just three to four times bigger than everybody else's. His quads actually leak over into Vinny LaTerry's pockets. Like Vinny Letary is an NHL player,

and Anders Lee's legs are spilling over on top of him. There's actually a shadow that is being cast on Vinny LaTerry's leg from Anders Lee's quads. He has a quad on top of his quad. I mean, it's he, he, it's him and Saquan for best legs in the world. No doubt. And like, I don't know if you're allowed to talk to him about his legs. Does he talk about them? I don't like, like, I want to know are those, does he work on that? Was he born like that? Like it's just, it's, they're just, he's quad Zimoto. He's just, he, he looks like a reverse skips leg day mean. Like his legs, it's that ridiculous. Like But even if you have massive legs, they're kind of equal to your upper body because your upper body holds your fucking organs and your arms and all of your stuff.

His legs are like twice as wide as his upper body. It doesn't make any sense. He is, he's an absolute fucking, he has tree trunks for legs. And imagine trying to move that guy in front of the net. Like when people saw that picture, Islanders fans, they're like, we can't, Islanders were one fucking goal away from being a Stanley Cup this year. And that guy unfortunately had to be in the rafters because he, you know, he was coming off of a knee surgery and he couldn't fucking play. Now imagine that guy being inserted into this team now.

Try moving that guy away from the front of the net. Imagine having to do any sort of athletic activity. Someone actually wrote underneath. Imagine your job for the night having to be clearing that guy away from his blue crease. Like his area in front of that net, your job is to move that guy's legs. You can't do it. There's cement. He's cemented to the ground.

And credit to you. for wearing pants. You always wear pants, but you had to wear pants that day. Waring pants came up absolutely huge yesterday. I mean, and saved you in that picture. God damn. I said if I wore shorts in that photo, I think I would have gotten, I would have been taken straight to a hospital for treatment. People would have thought that I was fucking sick. I swear to God, they would have been like, look at this guy. He is just bones. I think if you had taken, if you had been wearing shorts yesterday and taken that picture, I think you photoshop it. I think you, I have, you,

put pants on your body. I'd have to. I would absolutely have to. I mean, God, I... There are... I think three of my legs are the same size as Anders-Lies ones. That might be more. His quad is the same size as my hip.

They're normal-looking legs. They're not. I don't mean that. But then there's just that extra piece where it's like, what's that doing there? Woo! Really good. It's really funny. In that video, I can't wait for that.

That'll be good. We'll have a full video of... this we also have coming out tonight a full video of Trent Ryan attempting to break 100 for what time what attempt number is this so it's episode eight and I believe it's attempt number seven okay attempt number seven yeah eight o'clock and the last time out you were extremely close well yeah the last time out um at village sans point village club of sans point yep shout out meet uh Shout out to meat meat on the feet. He's got fried chicken crocs that he wears.

Yeah, I played a great front nine. I got shot 49 and then it just all unraveled, man, which it happens a lot to me. But yeah, tonight we are at Garden City Country Club. Me and Frankie again, it's a good episode. It's a good episode, guys. I mean, Trent is right there. You guys have seen it.

The proof is in the pudding. If you have been on this journey of watching Breaking 100, from episode one to now episode eight. You know that this guy is on the precipice of history. You understand that he is right there. It's a hole here and there. It's a drive here and there. It's a wedge shot here and there.

What needs to happen is one day, just one day, things need to click. Is tonight that day, fellas? We will have to wait until 8 p.m. to see it. You got the hat on, too. there have been some big moments throughout this series, from JT stretching you out to the bunker incident, to the infamous putting comment where you didn't need to worry about putting. And all of that is built up to some big episodes.

And I would say this is a big episode. There are some moments in this episode that, again, folks will have been along for your journey. Just like the bunker incident, just like the swing tips, just like the putting comment. The bladed wedge at Clearview Park, the buried lie at Pine Hollow. Like, it is funny to go back and look at them and just how many horrifying moments there are. And just where the wheels come off. Frankie's been there for most of Riggs.

Riggs was there for when I almost slipped and fell in San Diego on a drive. Like, it's really, sometimes it gets ugly out there. It does. It's been a long journey. You know, it may continue on for the rest of our lives for all we know. But all I want you guys to know is that you want to be tuned in tonight, just like you were last week. I was just as confident last week. And if you were going to tune into that episode that you were going to have the time of your life experiencing the highs and the lows of this guy trying to break 100, do the same tonight.

We had 11,000 live concurrent viewers on YouTube last week watching Trent Ryan try and break 100 on a golf course. Tonight we have to hit 15. This thing is just a, this is a locomotive that is not stopping. We are just going through all the stops, all gas, no brakes. Is that something people say? It is. That's what Breaking 100 is right now. It's going to be a fucking monster.

And I'm telling you, you want to be there tonight. Yeah, seriously, shout out to everybody who's been watching. The videos do extremely well. I shout out for all the tips that people send my way. Do you like the tips? Yeah, yeah, I love those. Talk to us about the tip. I don't want to talk about them quite honestly.

But it's like a double-edged score because I appreciate everybody who's watching. The videos do extremely well. The feedback is mostly very positive. Frankie, you're great in the videos we've been doing recently, very positive during the videos. Just golf, and we've known this ever since we started doing the podcast rigs, that golf is a sport where people want to give tips to each other. They want to tell you how to play better, how to score better, how to shoot lower scores. And that has just been amplified by the,

Breaking 100 series. Golf tips are the fucking worst. Golf tips are the worst. Golf tips suck. Unless they come from a very legitimate source, golf tips just suck. Like if it comes from John Tilleray or if it comes from Max Homa or somebody like that who has a ton of credibility, it's great. Golf tips just in general are no different than someone like chirping Frankie about what clothes he should wear or whatever. It's just like they're the worst. They're incredibly infuriating. And the thing is, though, also that when I get a DM, about it. It'll start and it'll say, hey, man, been watching the series. I love it. And that gets my ego going. I'm like, oh, I'll check this out. This guy is throwing compliments my way.

And then there is two to three paragraphs of him telling me how to play better. Yeah, the golf tip thing, it's just gotten, it's boiled over. There's a lot happening in my DMs, in my mentions. Again, I appreciate everybody who's watching. But in this house, and I've said this before, in this house, we only listen to John Tillerie. He's my guy. he's my swing coach he's got my best interest at heart i listen to him religiously that's the only person i'm going to listen to and i think that's very smart i think that's very admirable um tonight 8 p.m eastern on our youtube um the premiere of episode 8 of trent breaking 100 make sure you are there simply safe when simply safe we've been uh supported by for many years now really since i think

Opening, drinking. I mean, can you guys hear me drink this water? A little. Well, now you overdid that. You overdid that for sure. You didn't hear us say anything and you were like, I got to sell it hard. No, they pick up everything. No, that was fine.

That's fine. All right. Hydrate yourself during this bottle. I can hear it coming out of the bottle, but I can hear it coming out of the bottle, but I can't hear it like swashing around. I think when these people listen to this podcast, they're going to hear that go through my throat. The first one, definitely.

Okay. That last one, I don't think so. I never know if I'm breathing into these things. That's the other problem. Jake says no. No? He cuts audio when we do it. All right.

All right. Professional information we go. Ricky Fowler. So Ricky Fowler, I think this was right before the 3M. So it was last week. I forgot to bring it up on the show from Tuesday. but a little update on a friend of ours who we've interacted with, who likes us and we like him, who's a pretty good golfer in his day, Tiger Woods.

Ricky Fowler said... The golfer? Correct. He said on not playing in the Masters, which was one month after the accident, a little over a month, he said we were both disappointed that we were not there and playing. Of course, they watched the Masters together. But he's not lacking any fire in there right now. has. He went on to say, I know he's been getting after it as far as rehab goes. That takes up

most of his day. I know as kind of stubborn as he is, being as big of a golf nerd as all of us are, he is putting the work in. I know it's been tough. It's a long road till now. He's got a long road ahead, but he's putting the work in. So look, anytime you get someone who is as close of a source, it's almost like we're getting notifications now from Ricky Fathers and Justin When did this happen? When did all of our Tiger Woods news come from Ricky Fowler? Look, he has been hanging with Eldrick. And when someone's hanging with Eldrick and they're reporting,

they're giving a little bit of tidbits of information on those sessions, on those little hangouts, we are going to pay a lot of attention to him. And Ricky has multiple times in his version of notifications, shout at the note to be gay. He has tied Tigers fire and rehab. to golf. He mentioned that his golf clubs are sitting right next to him in his fucking

living room whenever he's watching golf, whenever he's rehabbing. He says in these comments, he throws out there that being a golf nerd is tied to his rehab. I know that Trent is trying to think of a word for notification and Ricky Fowler. I know that you've been trying

and do that for the last minute. And whatever you've been saying, Riggs, neither of us have heard. I know the listeners have, but I've been staring at this guy, try, I mean, you know when you can see someone's brain working from the outside, like his eyes were going, he was staring out in the distance. You were thinking about a word for notification and Ricky Fowler. I think it's time to think of one and I have not thought of one yet. I really was thinking about that hard.

I know you were. Riggs had it covered. Riggs was going through all of it. And if he had thrown it to me there, I would have had nothing. I wish you did. I didn't know what he. I just, I, but I can't think of one. No.

No. What have you tried? You tried anything yet? No. I said at one point, because I was doing the same thing. It was like not a fouleration or something like that. No, it's got to be. It's brutal.

Well, we've got such a good one with Ricky Shea shot. Like we've already got, we've already made up something with him. So I couldn't get that out of my head right away. And then I went to Fowler trying to think of some sort of notification pun to do with Fowler. So it almost, I mean, it's not as fun. Look, this is not as enjoyable. But it's almost like a notification is just a blanket way to, you know, typecast anything that comes. from someone close to Tiger Woods.

So even if it came from Steinberg or it comes from Noda, it's like a released piece of information that is almost North Korea-esque because it comes from within Tiger Woods' circle. I actually like that as well, unless someone can think of one that's tweeting for Ricky Fowler. Tweet it at us. Some sort of word that is Ricky Fowler's name

that has to do with notifications. A what? Ricky port? I don't know what that means. Instead of a report. No, I don't like it. I wish I did, but I don't. It's got it.

Yeah, I guess it doesn't have to be the word notification. It can be something. I got it. I got it. I think it's Ricky. Ricky leaks. Yes. Yes.

That's it. Woo! Dude, that's so good. It has to be Ricky Leaks. That's fantastic. It just has to be. Dude, honestly, it was the. The, whatever that last comment was, Ricky Report made me think of like, wait, what's that thing that comes out that has icky in it?

And it's, it's Ricky. Ricky leaks. Bravo, Samuel. Bravo. Okay. All right. That's fantastic. I just said the greatest.

Now I can't say the latest. Wow. Latest Ricky leaks are very good, I think, about Tiger Woods. I love it. The Ricky leaks are fantastic, man. That is a home run. That is a fucking home run. You just know it when it hits you in your chest.

Like, Ricky Report, it just didn't hit me in my chest. I like that we're throwing around ideas. But it led to what Riggs came up with. So it's all part of the process. Well, the big thing is that I feel like at first we were trying to get it into the word notification. At least I was. And once Jake kind of brought it into any sort of announcement of news with Ricky Report, I think then that's where we really started to hit our stride.

And Ricky Leaks just took us home. Really a collaborative effort. Yeah, it was huge. I like that a lot. I can't wait for the latest Ricky Leaks. I'm glad that we got there. So we got notifications in Ricky Leaks. These are the ways that we get information about Tiger Woods because they just won't let anything out.

So, yeah, the latest Ricky Leaks, how does it have us feeling? Better, I hope? Yeah, I mean, it's... More the same, really. I think it's... Yeah, I think it's good. It's better. My assumptions about Tiger Woods after this accident.

It doesn't change the way I feel like that. Like I've always thought that he was going to keep working hard and striving to get back. And he's a huge golf nerd and he was just going to be hitting balls or doing whatever he's doing to try to get back in there. So just to have that, you know, just to have the Ricky Leaks reaffirm that, I feel the same way I do. But I also feel confident. I feel good about it. Yeah. I hope that the Ricky Leaks are confirmed from the source and that he's not just going crazy and, you know, rogue.

You wouldn't do that. I know, but, like, this is more news than we've heard about Tiger from literally anyone on the planet, right? Like, we even talk to, I mean, we've talked to people that we, that are like in the Taylor Made world or in the Tiger Woods world. They're like, yeah, we don't know anything. Hopefully things are going well. Like, we've heard, like, good things, but, like, no report back. Like, I mean, Ricky Fowler is the only one that's going to the world and announcing Tiger Woods's progression in his, in the most famous, like, crash in sports, like, right now. You know what I mean?

It's crazy that Ricky Fowler is. is the source. So I do feel good about it, but I hope it's like there's a lot of, there's a lot of truth to it. Yeah. I do too. I do too. Again, I just think there, so I'm going to read a quote too that I included in here from this was in February when the tiger accident was all over the place, if you recall, the same type of folks who were saying three, four, five years ago, there's no way Tiger Woods ever comes back again. There's no way he plays professional golf. There's definitely no way he wins a major. FYI won the 2019 Masters and proved everyone wrong. Those same people that were saying that within seconds of Tiger Woods accident, before he even got brought out of the car by the

heroic, heroic LAPD system in the way they've handled this accident, those same people, all they could say was that Tiger Woods is hashtag duh. He, he, will not play again. Anyone who thinks so is a moron, which, by the way, that take, which these same people have had over and over and over again for more than 10 years now, that same take is, in my opinion, a pussy take because you know it will be true at some point. Like, if you can just continue to throw that take out there, you no matter what get to claim victory at some point, because father time's undefeated. Everyone has done at some point in the history of the world that will happen.

So I think it's a very cowardice take, and I think it's been thus far and will continue to be after this accident, an incorrect take. But those people were saying within minutes, within seconds of Tiger Woods accident and the pictures on the screen on TV that he's done. We had this guy, Dr. Andrew Pollock, professor and chair of the Department of Orthopedics of the University of Maryland School of Medicine,

told CBS News in February Woods injuries will quote definitely affect his golf game moving forward no shit dude and then he also said in many ways this is a quote he will likely need to relearn parts of the golf swing no shit dude yeah no shit he's fucking legs broken half

but my point is that all these people that said like oh he had a bad horrific leg injury there's no way he could ever come back he's come back from a billion injuries before he came back from a spinal cord that didn't even work and the spinal cord is the most sensitive, you know, paralyzing thing that could potentially harm you. Yeah, he's going to relearn the golf swing, duh, and he's going to come back and win again, duh. So when I get these kind of Ricky Leaks, trademark, I think that

he is only convincing me more of what we've been convinced of the entire time, and that makes me feel good. Right. I'm obviously in no way happy that the crash happened. It was horrific, and I would have liked to him avoid that at all costs. But now that we're living in that reality, it actually feels kind of nice that we're back up against these fucking people who are going to doubt Tiger Woods and don't think he's ever going to win again. Because after 2019, it felt like, all right, he's back. He's won that major that nobody thought he was going to win,

and everybody just sort of calmed down. Now we are back in the pre-19 phase where the people that you were talking about rigs have re-emerged. And that means that we get to re-emerge as huge tiger guys who are going to say that he is going to be. win again because we have all the faith in the world that he's going to work hard enough he wants it he's going to come back he's going to do the rehab and he's going to regain some of the form from the past and he's going to win again it feels nice like put those boxing gloves back on and

now we're back in the in the ring if tiger woods comes back and wins again it's a fairy tale it's it's the greatest thing that ever happens in sports because the first one was the greatest thing that ever and will ever happen in sports nothing will be greater when it comes to a comeback then what Tiger Woods will eventually do when he comes back and wins. The thing that probably will happen, or most probable, is that Tiger Woods will come back. It will be considered one of the greatest comebacks, regardless of if he even finishes the tournament.

Like him stepping up to a T in a championship or any sort of tournament will be a fantastic moment, something that everyone in the country will be watching. The odds are that this guy will end up, I can easily see Tiger Woods coming back, playing a couple tournaments, like not doing well, like feeling like, all right, like now I don't have it. And then just his career ending at that poem after that. That's something I don't want to think about.

But if you're going to talk about odds, like if we put Barstall Sportsbooks odds on that, the odds are probably greater in that that happens. Like the great moment is him coming back and competing, not winning. But I think that's the same argument that could have been made the before, you know what I mean? I agree. Like if you would put the odds on him, you know, before 2019, coming back from all that ship. all the back surgeries, all the fusion surgeries, people would have, they would have said that similar thing. Now, he is older.

The crash was really bad. Everybody knows how bad it was. It's just, I think, but I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful that he'll come back and win again. I hope so. It will be a moment where they will interrupt whatever's on ESPN. They will interrupt whatever's going on and focus on Tiger Woods hitting a T-shot in competition again. That moment is going to happen. Anyone who thinks it's not, has just not been paying

attention for the last 25, 30 years. And my point, the entire time, has been if there is another human that at the age of 45 or 46 or 47 has been able to come back and win tournaments, Phil Mickelson, 50 years old, just won the PGA championship, if there is a person that has been able to come back and do it at the highest level, then I think it's undeniable. that the person who played the greatest golf in the history of the game of golf can also do it. In fact, I would say he's more likely to do it. Yeah.

Has his legs been shattered into pieces? Yep. Guess what? His back was shattered into pieces and he came back and did it then. His neck was all messed up. His knee had four fucking knee surgeries and won the United States Open. Golf's toughest test. Shout to our friend, close personal friend,

the United States Golf Association. He won the 2008 U.S. Open with a broken leg and fractures down his fucking shins. So, yeah, the guy's going to come back. Yeah, he's going to win again. It's going to be fantastic. And hearing this Ricky League only reaffirms that, which feels very good for me. Do you have a – is that a part of the shirt there?

Or is that a pin on your T-shirt? Looks like a pin. It's a pin. Wow. You never see anybody wear a pin like that. Casually? On a T-shirt? I've never seen a.

it. No. But I like it. What's the deal with the pin? I mean, I love America. It's an American flag for people listening to us. He has an American flag pin on his chest, like he's the president. What is, what is. What do they call? It's a lapel pin? It's a lapel pin. I mean, it looks like you just got back from the Memorial Day parade with your kids

and you got, you picked up a pin at the end of the block. You know, the high school band went by and they threw pins out and you put it on, you got some cotton candy and you went home. Don't have any kids, to be clear. But If I did, I imagine that this would be something I would probably rock after Memorial Day Parade. I was doing laundry the first time in a month.

And I noticed that on one of my hoodies, at the U.S. Open, I believe, they had given everybody pins to wear. And we wore them. It came in like our little bag of like, hello, welcome to the U.S. Open. And I was doing laundry. I went to throw this in and took the pin off. And I was like, well, why wouldn't I just wear the pin all the time? I'm from America. I love America.

Yeah. It's true. So I just put it, I've been walking around my apartment this morning with an American flag lapel pin on my shirt. And it feels great. I respect the love for the country, right? I want to be on record that I, that the pin comment by me had nothing to do with the flag or the country. It just has to do with the idea of wearing a pin in your house, right? Like it's almost like walking around with like a tie on or, right?

It's like a, it's an accessory. right like would you walk around like would you would you would you lounge with a belt on no right like you know why do you lounge though with a t-shirt on like what's the well yeah but you've got this like accessory on that that to me is just so uncomfortable to be putting on such a nice cloth peter millar t-shirt to sit there and watch tv and have a pin on like i said like you're giving an inaugural speech in dc i don't know it's just do you ever wear like a hat when you lounge around Yeah, I wear a hat when I, yeah, yeah, that's a good point. But again, I, the hat is so much more common than the pin, the lapel.

Look, this is new. I'm not claiming that this is a long, thought out theory. Like, will you go to Chipotle with that on or like, will you go down the block? Oh, yeah. Really? Yeah, well, today, what am I going to take it off to go to Chipotle? That's anti-American. Well, you have backed yourself into a corner with it being a flag pin.

You kind of backed yourself into a corner. You're against my American. You were like, why are you wearing that fucking flag? No. Oh, you hate the flag. He's in his apartment wearing a pin. You know, this is how trends start. You do something that's unexpected and a thing that people don't normally do.

It's like a heavy pin for that type of shirt too. You know what I mean? That's a heavy pin. This shirt needs a lighter pin. That's a very heavy pin for that type of shirt. They have to make lighter ones that cling a little tighter because this one's got like the full fucking. That's got a little hang to it for sure. Thing on the back is like a fucking nail.

That's what I mean. He's walking around. You're watching the Olympics? Oh, is it because you're watching the Olympics, maybe? Subconsciously, you're just trying to be a little. Haven't even had them on this morning. It could be, I don't know. I don't know what you're doing.

Look, it needs to be probably tightened up, but I saw it. It had been dressed. I took it off. I thought. You know one of you guys care about the flag, apparently. But if, if. I thought it was part of the shirt until it's not a refined thing. I think that I saw it.

I thought, hmm, why would I just put this on my counter when I could wear it? It's a perfectly good lapel pin. It's meant it was created, crafted probably somewhere in the United States by a patriotic worker that I think it should be worn, not just sit around in a drawer. Yeah, I guess so. Maybe you have to be a bigger pin guy. I've never thought to wear a pin. I've never thought to jazz up my outfit. or my day with a lapel pin hanging off my nipples.

Yeah, he might have changed the game. Maybe. It's in the nice spot, too. You definitely nailed that. It's on his heart. He missed it the first time. It was like way up here. Yeah, it looked ridiculous.

Way up here. It was like on the shoulder blade. Now it's kind of right where like a Captain C would go if you're a nice hockey player. That was just eating it, you wasn't it? I didn't really notice it until I saw one little glimpse of light hit it. And I was like, that thing is not on that shirt. I mean, that did not come on the shirt. That is a lapel pin hanging off of his top left breast.

I like it. Yep. I'm going to do it all the time now. Yeah. I mean, now you have to be a pin guy, which I would assume is a nice little hobby. Boy, can you get some cool pins, I assume. I don't know if we sell them. Do we sell, like, little barstool ones?

Oh, yeah. I feel like I have one in my apartment, but I don't know if we ever mass produce them. That'd be a nice one to wear. I'm a pin setter. Nice. Yeah. You had it with Ricky Leaks. The weather is really high.

hot. The highways are packed. Even the sunniest days potentially can, you know, hold thunderstorms, random thunderstorms, miserable stuff, summer's back. Just because you might get or not get a two-month summer vacation anymore, which you do when you're younger, doesn't mean you can't take advantage of the season.

Give a shout out to our caddies from the Wisconsin trip. I went through the whole thing. We forgot to mention the caddies. Had Hankie for the entire time, who is the man, obviously. The best, man.

Continues to be the best. He also is great. He just, you know, after like every round and whenever we leave, he always sends like these very sincere, like, I miss you. We have so much fun whenever you guys are here, text, which always warms my heart. had Hanky, Ian, Zach, Tim Austin, I believe, at Aaron Hills, for me and my different buddies who were as good as it gets.

That might be the best collection of caddies at Aaron Hills that I've ever seen anywhere. They're just so good. They make the experience so much better. And then at Whistling Straits, we had Alex, who was with me, Ethan, Matt, and Dan, who were with our whole group. And they were just phenomenal. I know a lot of people on the trip, right? This is for the common golfer.

People don't have caddies very often that probably listen to their show. We never did until a few years ago. We started doing this show. We got these different opportunities. But man, when you have a really good caddy who is cool, they fit personality-wise, they've been at the course for a long time, it just makes or breaks the entire trip and adds so much to it, especially at walking courses. We're going to be abandoned in a little over a month where you've got to walk everywhere

and just having a caddy the whole time. Yeah, it's expensive. There's a fee. Tip them like $100. At the end of the day, when you're dead and gone and sick. feet under. Is that hundred bucks for that round going to matter to you for how much better it made your experience that day? Absolutely not. So I just had to give a shout out and a thank you to those guys because they made the experience phenomenal. Dude, I got to get in shape for abandoned. Oh, yeah.

That just hit me. I got to start walking around. I've heard there. Big time. Big time. A couple tough walks, right? And what's crazy about it is the ground is so firm. It's links, right? that it affects your calves and your feet to a level where your feet will never hurt again like they hurt after maybe you get through day three or four at Band and Dunes. It's a problem. Awesome. I got to just start walking around New York City. I got to find a treadmill start walking around because right now, right now, I am not in Bandin shape.

before the Barstow Classic, we played Olympic Hills in Minnesota. We went and I think the course was closed on the Monday. But at this course, what that means is like you really just can't use like any of the clubhouse. You can't use the driving range. But you can, like Vinnie LaTerry was able to go out and we were able to walk the course and see the front nine. It was like 110 degrees that day. And we walked the course. It was actually a pretty tough freaking walk because like yesterday at the Rastu Classic. The drive was like, there was a couple of drives from hole to hole that were long. So we walked this course, nine holes.

And at the end of the ninth hole, it's one of those courses where the ninth hole doesn't go right up against the clubhouse. You need to actually be shuttled from the ninth green to the clubhouse because there is such a steep hill from, you see my eye twitching a little bit? No. You didn't see that that whole time? No. There's such a steep hill from the ninth green up to the clubhouse that they literally need to shuttle you up. and it wasn't running because the course was closed. So we finished this ninth hole,

and I haven't walked the golf course like that in a long time with my bags on. Like usually we take the cart everywhere we go. My God, did I barely make it? I almost died. I'm walking up there with a professional athlete who's like fucking walking like he's holding weights, basically, walking up this thing.

It is a steep incline. And halfway through, I think I let up a noise like, oh. Because I'm trying to talk and like everything's okay. And I was like, oh, what time? When you go back to Anaheim, just like trying, they'll act like I'm fine, but every word I said had a little bit of a flutter in it.

So I too need to walk. I need to work out. I need to get these legs in shape for Bannon because I've heard it is a tough walk. I've heard from many people. What's the weather like there? The weather typically at Bannon is our kind of weather. It is like mid-50s.

Maybe it gets up in the low mid-60s, but you're walking the whole time, so it feels like 70. You know, you put on a quarter zip, you wear pants the whole time. If it's a, you know, it's windy a lot, which obviously makes the golf tough. But you never want to be hot, right? I think we're all guys that would way rather be a little chilly you can layer up than we would be just sweating hot and you're miserable. So it is ideal golf weather.

And I think that time of year, you won't get anything like below 50. You'll get a lot of like mid-high 50s, I think. You'll get a few sunny days. You get a few cloudy and windy days. We'll probably get a little bit of rain. But as long as you got the right kind of gear, it is our favorite kind of golf weather. Okay. Just got to get the legs in shape.

Yep. All right. I'm going to start working on that today. Quarter zips and pants. Get those puppies in shape. I will see what I'm worried about with this pin is if it rolls upside down, then I look like I hate America. That's what I can't. So I've got to be really careful with it.

Something I'm concerned about. God damn. Speaking of America, actually, I saw. Twisting a little. Zander Schofley, who's teeing off as we record this tonight at 715. He's teeing off in the Olympics. Ever heard of it? He put up a pretty cool Instagram story, Instagram posts today saying,

My dad's dream of becoming an Olympic decathlete. Okay. Someone that performs in the decathlon, I'm assuming. My dad's dream of becoming an Olympic decathlete came to a sudden end in 1986 when a drunk driver crashed into his car. car. And he says you can read more into his journey and why it means so much for me to be here in Tokyo with him in the Lincoln bio.

So if you go to his Instagram story, Xander shopped his Instagram, you can read the whole story into it. But pretty cool that, you know, Xander is kind of like fulfilling his dad's destiny for being an Olympic athlete. When you hear stories like that, I think it just furthermore proves that for the player, being a part of the Olympics is much more important. and awesome than it is for the casual viewer, right? Like we keep saying, are we going to put importance on this,

are on these guys winning gold medals and golf? And I think we've all come to the consensus that like they probably need a little bit more prestige. Years need to go by for us to get really invested in it watching it. But if you are performing in it, my God, is that going to be awesome for these guys to be able to do this? And this just, what a story. And we know, I mean, Zander and his dad, they both were on the show. So really cool story out of Zander Shafley.

phenomenal. The more and more you learn about what this means to certain people playing and competing in the Olympics gets me more hyped. I'm glad that we did the show Tuesday about how much we're all coming around and loving the Olympics because it's been phenomenal. Tim Tucker, obviously Bryson DeCambos, former caddy, was on golf subpar with Colt Nost and Slees. They do these interviews with all kinds of guys. They've had JT on. They've had a bunch of massive names on. They had Tim Tucker on, which obviously is a big get with everything going on. You know, he kind of said a lot of the things, and I haven't listened to the entire thing. I listened to the first probably 20 minutes, and I was reading a few different articles going through some of the other quotes. But as we talk about Bryson a ton and we talked about this whole thing a ton that led to Bryson being upset with us. He still hasn't responded, I don't think, to the ultimatum we threw about changing our logo. But I thought he said a couple things that were really interesting. he mostly reinforced what he had already said.

He said his big regret was the timing of the split because he left Bryson sort of hanging. He thought there were a lot of things on Bryson's mind because of the timing of it. It didn't allow him to fully focus on the rocket mortgage. He missed the cut. And that led to a ton of speculation about some bad blood leading to the split, which I think is inevitable. But he also raved about Bryson's work ethic. And he said something that was very interesting to me that I'd never really consider. or before. He said, Bryson is very demanding. I think that's a great attribute from an employer

because it makes you, as the employee, get better. If you're not getting better in learning and pushing everything that you're doing, then you become complacent and start making mistakes and you are not continuing to grow. He makes you do that and it's unbelievable. He demands it from everybody. I actually thought that was very interesting. Remind me of Dave Portnoy to a degree, who was extremely demanding that we all have worked directly for for a long time. now and it made me, again, I was on an airplane last night, just alone with my thoughts and these comments kind of from Tim Tucker, but it made me sort of appreciate that in a way that I had never thought of before. Yeah, I mean, it makes sense. And like nobody has ever accused

Bryson D. Chambot of not working hard. Like, I think that's been very clear. If you follow Bryson at all, and he sometimes makes a suspectical of it, and it's not his own doing. This is just how hard he works, but he's out at the driving range at a tournament until like four in the morning and there's cameras out there and they bring out lights for him. Yeah, I can see, but then obviously coming out the other side of that, it clearly got to a point where Tim just couldn't do that anymore. Like that's good up until a point where that Tim clearly hit where, yeah, you're improving and this guy's working so hard that you have to work just as hard to keep up with him. But Tim obviously got to a point where he was like, I don't want to do this anymore.

I don't want to work with Bryson anymore. So there's good and bad to it. I think it clearly got to that point. But I just thought that that was a positive way of kind of looking at Bryson being demanding, air quotes, that I had never considered before. Clearly it got to a breaking point. How much sort of Tim wanted to get into this band and dunes like travel business, shuttle business that he's focusing on. how much that played into it versus he was just reached his boiling point.

You know, like we won't know. I don't think that that answer came out of this. He is, of course, for positive PR and because he respects Bryson, which I very much in turn respect his approach to the whole thing. He's going to harp on the fact that, yeah, I was ready to leave, you know, months ago we kind of put a plan in place because I want to focus on those other business. And then people can point to the fact, well, yeah, why did you just bail on like Thursday morning of a tournament? it. That's always going to be in play. But again, it was sort of a positive angle that I had never

looked at to me before. And then another thing that he talked about that was really, really interesting was green density. And he said, you know, he was going through with these guys about what all they considered for shots and all the information and inputs that Bryson, you know, needs and wanted for shots. And he said, green density, that to me is one of the most important things that we've done. understanding I'm hitting a seven iron with 6,200 RPM spend landing into a 2% slope, it's going to run out four yards on a 6mm green density. That's important and it's predictable. So instead of just being like, oh yeah, the green's kind of firm, you know, it should roll out a little bit.

Let's fly at like 165 to a 169 hole. They were focused on understanding, making sure they knew green density so that they could actually just do. the pure calculation, which was fucking fascinating to me and really a window into how in-depth they went for golf shots, even though we've talked about it a lot. I'd never heard that specifically before. As in depth as you can go on the game of golf. I mean, Bryson really has turned this into just not a fun game. Like for himself or his team, it's just not fun at all. Even when they win, it's got to be like, yep, the calculations were correct. Nothing about it is fun. He's not leaving anything to himself.

Give yourself a little bit more credit, man. You're putting your skill to use and hitting this golf shot. It's not all about the green density and four yards out. Let's just see you play golf. I don't know. I love the fact that he's a mad scientist. He unfortunately never goes with that. I've always wanted him to be like that, what is it, the Hulk scientist? What do they call him?

Professor what? Banner. But like when he was like a mixture between the Hulk? Professor Hulk. When he was a mixture between the Hulk and Professor, that's what I've always wanted fucking Bryson to like walk up and be and show himself up at the golf course and, you know, really own that image.

But he just hasn't. He's just been such a dork and a loser and annoying and a piece of shit to people. And it's just like, fuck, man. Like go be Professor Hulk. Like one time. Like listen to the things that your caddy is saying that you guys did on the greens like that's hilarious right when we talk about feel and real on this podcast a lot he's just decided to go all in unreal he just wants everything to be real and there's clearly a benefit to that right

like he's dealing in reality this is what the green is going to do this is the density if i hit it here this is where it's going to roll out to and that's obviously all valid and he's a very successful professional golfer but i do wonder if every once in a while he just kind of let go the wheel a little bit and just saw what happened like let his talent take over because he clearly has a ton of talent as well. I think you're right. I think a mixture would go a long way for him, but I don't think he's ever going to take that approach.

Every time we hear from this guy during an interview, it's like he's always like playing both sides where he tries to be like the really polite and like, oh, you know, they can all talk shit about me. And he blinks a million times and he acts like everything's so fucking calculated and like he cares about his image so much and blah, blah, blah. And it's always just bullshit coming out of his mouth. Like if he could just come out and be the guy that he actually is and be such an asshole, arrogant, like, weightlifting scientist guy that's talking, that's yelling at his team about green density and getting mad during post-game post-round press conferences about how Tim didn't know that it was going to roll out four yards and it rolled out five yards and like, you know, like snapping rollers over people's heads. Like that would be a guy that I would go buy that guy's jersey.

because that's a fucking cartoon character. Instead, we have a subdued little mouse at the podium in Bryce and Deschambeau every single time. It's like, oh, the world hates me. And, you know, I'm just trying to change the game of golf. Like, shut the fuck up, dude. Look at all this stuff you're doing behind closed doors. We have to go on a podcast and listen about green density. You should come out and talk about how you're changing the game and be a fucking, be an asshole.

That's what we need Bryson DeCambeau to be at this point. Be a public asshole. I think people would like him more because they already think he's a douchebag now. Right. There's like that fine line where if you try and hide being a douchebag, you are a douchebag. But if you come out and just blatantly be outrageous and insane, people will love them. And I've been this way on this guy for years now. Just do it.

Go all in, Bryson. My God. I agree. Agreed. I think we've said that a million times and it's never going to change unless he changes. I completely agree. And I think like he is, to us, he's taking the fun out of the game. with this shit, but to him, I think that's what he enjoys.

I think he gets, like, satisfaction out of solving the fucking equation and taking chance out of it and just knowing the calculations. That's what makes him different. If he would just purely own that, stop trying to be liked and just do what he does and be a weirdo scientist guy who plays golf and wins tournaments and hits the ball 380 yards, he'd probably be significantly more. I do wonder, though, like, the what we're talking about where if he seems to think that he's doing it the right way, but he also doesn't win.

every tournament. So when he looks at guys who aren't doing it his way and no one else is doing his way, but other guys are winning tournaments, I wonder if that ever gets in his head where he starts to think, maybe I'm not doing it completely the right way. You're never going to get rid of his want or his desire or his need to try to break everything down. But he would only fully believe that if he were legitimately winning every single tournament. But what my, my counted of that would be like he does have to believe at some level

he's doing the golf the best way for him and the same way that John Rom talked about him being born with a club foot so he's swinging like the best way for him and playing the best golf for him like Bryson

isn't going to be some extravagant artist type player who's like swinging like Arnie with a helicopter or finish and hitting these shot shapes. Like what works for him, whether it makes him like winning every single golf tournament or not,

is this clearly like scientific, calculated approach. And I think like weighing that or comparing that always to others is probably going to be detrimental to him more so than like helpful. It does funny that the way that he views things,

it seems like the only thing that gets in his way. What's that? Oh yeah, you can't have that. Nothing. It seems like, oh, it's still upside down. It's funny that it seems the thing that gets in Bryson's way is the game of golf. Like the actual physical playing of the game of golf is what is in the way of his pursuit of perfection. Because he thinks he can figure everything out with statistics,

but what you eventually have to do is just go play and see what happens. Yeah, I agree. I completely agree with that. So, yeah, look, he'll forever be like. this. I don't think he's ever going to change. I think he'd be much, much cooler to all of us if he did. If he was the kind of guy that came on and just roasted Frankie for not be able to chip, that'd be much cool. Come on in and, come on in and roast Frankie again. Let's go back to that. Truly, truly hard seltzer from Boston beer. They got 16 refreshing styles. There's

literally something for everyone. I'm always going to be a big fan of one of the OGs, the wild berry, probably going to be my favorite flavor of them forever. But now they go up the fruit punches. They got like citrus fruit punch, which comes in this, this like citrusy green can with a fruit punch flavor. Phenomenal. But there's something for everyone. The iced teas, the lemon iced teas, lemonade ice teas that they've got,

the lemonadees, and then the ice teas. They've got a bunch of different flavors. Whether you're out on the course, you're at a bar, you're on the beach, you're relaxing at home, you're on a buddy's trip, you're on a girl's trip. No matter what you're doing, truly is going to be the answer. They've been huge supporters of the Barstool Classic since day one. before we ever put it into play before it was ever a real thing. They just were like, yep, we're all in on the Barstool Classic.

We love what you guys are doing. We love golf. And now Trulay continues to get bigger and bigger, better and better. I saw everyone enjoying Trulies yesterday outside of Minnesota. It just makes things better, gentlemen. It really does. It's a great drink. The 8% one, the Truly Extra, my goodness.

It's the extra on eight. They have it on the eighth hole at the Barstool Classic, and it's just a fantastic drink. And it gets you to where you need to go just a little. puts a little pep in your step. It puts a little pep in your step. You can't see where you need to go just a little bit quicker. It's a good drink, man.

It's just truly on a golf course is... It's a match made in heaven. It's a match made in heaven. You know, you put the words right in my mouth. I know. I just take it out of my mouth. You put them in. I did.

I didn't know if you had it. I don't know that did. It's a good song. What was the song? All right. What is it? And you took the words right out of my mouth. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. I don't know. I took the words right out of my mouth. What's the song? I'm just singing what you guys are singing. Yeah, you're just kind of a parrot. I'm doing karaoke of your guys. Parading out there.

I think my mom's going to listen to this. It'd be like, does this fucking idiot after listening to this song 10,000 times? Frankie's my meatloaf, right? What it is? Is it meatloaf? I'm not sure. I'm not good at this stuff.

All right. I know we can. And they get pretty high. Like, he took the words right out of my mouth. Oh. Whoa. I saw Dan, by the way, Dan Shea. Shea Mooney the other day from Dan and Shea.

I was, man, watching one of his Instagrams that he put up where they were, he was like trying to hit the highest, like, melody that he could. And it, it was so impressive. I watched it probably a hundred times. I'm trying to remember which line from his song, but he went so high on the melody. It was like he had a freak quality from like the Greek gods that they gave him that he was able to go that high. I, we, none of us can clearly go there. He can probably shatter glass with that voice. It was phenomenal.

It was just a phenomenal town. Frankie's bumping the song that we're all trying to figure out. What's the name of it? He took the words right out of my mouth. That's the name of the song. Who's it by meatloaf? Oh, wow. All right.

We were on it. You look like a DJ right now. And you took the words right out of my mouth. It must have been Oh yeah, yeah You took the words right out of my mouth Oh, it must have been When you were kissing me

You took the words out of my mouth And they keep going out Yeah Yeah, yeah Put your lighter All right, damn My nipples have been popping To this shirt today

Jesus Christ Put a pen on it I haven't really noticed I want a couple of Walk around Put them right on your little nips there Look at me Look at these things

Imagine if you put two American flag pins over your nipples. Look at these things. Look at my dick, dude. Oh, you are not going to like that. People are going to be able to see that. Well, I'm showing them. Look at that. You should put some pins in there. Put some pins over your nipples.

Then they might poke your nipples and they get worse. Just get your nipples there. Seriously. Or it just like gets like less nippily, maybe. All right. I think it is time in the show where we throw it to a 20-year-old up-and-coming NHLer from the Anaheim

Ducks, Trevor Zegris. All right, we are now joined on the Foreplay podcast by Trevor Zegris. Welcome to the show. Thanks for having me. Yeah, absolutely, man. So you are out in Anaheim. Yep. Talk to us a little bit about, like, how your life's been right now, 20 years old,

World Juniors, MVP. I mean, living life kind of right now, huh? Yeah, it's been a fun couple years here. I mean, obviously, playing out in Anaheim doesn't even really feel real. I mean, kind of right on the beach out there. I mean, a lot of good golf. Obviously, the hockey is fun and all that. But, yeah, I mean, our hockey team is pretty much a golf team.

I mean, everybody's pretty much a stick out there. So kind of getting my butt kicked, but it's pretty fun. Yeah, where are you, like, in relation to the other guys on the team? We've got some good guys. Gets off is pretty good. Fowler's really good. I see Vinny with Terry's. Unbelievable.

So I was with Vinny this past weekend. We played three times. I called him this morning to get a little bit of maybe some dirt on you or whatever. Unfortunately, he had only good things to say about you. He was really pumping your tires, as the hockey guys liked to say, quite a bit. That's funny. But, yeah, he did say you guys have a lot of good players out there. And it must be a product of the environment also.

You guys are able to play a lot more throughout the season or on off days and stuff. Yeah. No, there's a lot of good guys. I mean, I think there's two or three guys that belong to tracks out there. But other than that, it's kind of just whatever, public golf. I mean, there's a lot of great courses. But the guys that belong to tracks out there are the guys that you try to avoid. Getsi belongs to two courses out there.

Manson's got a track. So it's nice that those guys belong to places. They can invite you out if you're lucky. But, yeah, a lot of good golfers. How long have you been playing golf? My whole life, pretty much. I mean, I started whatever, just swinging a club. I mean, I've belonged to a course out by me for as long as I can remember.

So, I mean, just kind of going out there with my dad and my grandpa and my brother and my cousins. I mean, kind of just whatever, hack it around. But, yeah, now I've been playing for a while. Vinny was telling me you guys played a little match at Pelican Hill. Yeah. No, Vinny's good. I didn't realize how good he was doing. I don't want to say he's a sandbagger, but he came in with like a nine handicapped and shot like 78.

So I don't know. But no, it was fun. Vinny's good. He's so crazy out there. He's got like the electrical tape on the bottom of his putter, so we were killing him. But no, he's fun to play with for sure. Yeah, it's funny. Your, like, charisma and your attitudes coming out already in the podcast,

he told me that for such a young guy to come into an organization, like the docs and in the NHL, like, you really, like, have been comfortable, right? Like, joining it in the locker. Like, how's that transition been? Like, he said you'll come in and, like, you'll just say things that make the room crash up. And then for such a young guy, it's a little bit, like, you know, it's like, they step back. Like, whoa, this guy's comfortable right now. He's able to be one of the boys already.

Yeah, I mean, we have such a good group of guys. Like, I mean, obviously the older guys, like I said, I mean, I kind of went out there a couple months early and got to know a bunch of the guys. Obviously, he played some golf at the, whatever, at their courses. So, I mean, it was nice to get familiar with the guys before, obviously, the season started. But, I mean, they're such good dudes that it really wasn't, like, uncomfortable at all at any point. But, yeah, I mean, Vinny, obviously, Vinny's very similar in that fact. So, yeah, it's been pretty good. Yeah, and then rolling with that guy.

us absolutely dying. Vinnie LaTerry has a nickname for every single person he meets even if you just met you calling me things that I've never in my life heard. It's just he added word for every shot. Like if there was a slope on the back of the green, he goes, oh, Tony Hawk proscate. Oh. Balcom goes up the hill and comes back down. Or if you had like a crazy slope on a green, he goes, you're going to have to go Sean White on this one. I was like, how are you coming up with these things? Like out of nowhere. Oh my gosh. So the first time that you really came into my life was when I watching the world juniors. Talk to me a little bit about like we're all watching the Olympics right now. It's a huge, obviously, on TV every second. Like what is it playing for your country and your sport?

Like how cool was that to get the win over Canada? Everyone thought it was such a big upset. Like, how awesome was that? It was unbelievable. Obviously, I was lucky enough to play in the tournament the year before. And whatever, we had some good, I don't want to say good momentum, but we had a bunch of guys on that team that came back that second year. So we were pretty confident heading into the tournament. obviously in Canada, so we had those guys kind of circled from the start. So to get those guys in the finals, it's pretty much like every kid's dream. I mean, I grew up watching that tournament my whole life. So to play those guys in the finals, it was almost like we really was like a can't lose for us,

and they had pretty much everything to lose. So I don't know. It was a great time, and I can't even imagine what it would have been like with fans. I mean, but no, it was really cool for sure. So, like, having that much success and being able to experience stuff, that is such an early age. By the way, these, I mean, do we hear this? New York City. New York City, there's just fire trucks going down the street. You know, does that, like, raise your expectations for what you expect to do in the NHL, right? Like, now you have, you're at the top, top, top.

Do you take all of that with you and now say I have to keep growing on what I've done? Or are you just, like, happy to be there right now and just, like, kind of, like, get your feet wet? Yeah, I mean, it's a little bit of both, right? Like, you come in with, I mean, I don't want to say like high expectations but obviously it's such a good tournament and to have some success and some team success obviously that's going to come with a lot of expectations but my kind of mindset was just to kind of roll with it and trying to have to think about that kind of stuff and kind of like you said just have a good time I mean you're playing hockey in California like it really doesn't feel real most of the time which is which is funny but yeah I mean I'm kind of just kind of roll with it

how have you been golfing a lot this summer yeah I've been golfing every day it's funny and I mean I played literally every day last year with the, with the virus going on with COVID. Yeah. Like I was at the range. Every day I went from like a 10 to like a two and a half. And then now this year, yeah, like it was like a two and a half index. Like I was playing great. What are you right now?

I'd probably say I'm like a five now. That's kind of buffered. I kind of went back up a little bit. But I'm just not playing every day like I used to. Like I was going to the range every day. That was like my main focus was golf. But now I'm coming back and I expect to be like this golfer that I was last year. And it's just, I mean, I can I can go low, but it's just the consistency.

It's so frustrating. Especially when you know that you're able to go from a 10 to a 2. I was doing this last year. It is the worst. It's the worst. I mean, blading wedges sometimes. It's just terrible. Talk to me about it. What's the strongest part of your game? Probably my driver. I can hit the ball pretty far. But I lost a little bit of the short game. When you don't play for however many months you're playing hockey, you lose kind of the feel and the touch around the green.

So that's been pretty aggravating, but I'm slowly getting back to it. But, yeah, no, it's a frustrating game. We see that with Riggs. So Riggs lives out in Arizona. Yeah. Plays every single day. And then when we play with him, when we go on these trips, his short game is insane. And that's just from the reps every single day.

If you don't play like that, you do lose it, like pretty fast. I feel like it's the short game. I mean, I could still, whatever, somewhat hit the ball pretty far off the tee, and my irons are pretty good. But it's the short game, like just the touch around the greens. Yeah. You just lose that when you play. Nightmare.

And that's the way you score, too. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I've lost my short game. for the last five years and start putting it on milk cartons. I just cannot find this thing. It's outrageous. I mean, I just played yesterday with a bunch of guys willing to put in this video out of the Barstall Classic,

but we had Brady, Shea, Brock, Nelson, Anderson, Andersley, and Vinny LaTarian on the first hole. It was the first hole, but it was our second, so we started on 18. I hit a drive, I pull it right, punch it out into the middle of the fairway. I'm 85 yards out, and I have all these hockey guys around me. They're all fucking chirping me, and they have all these nicknames and all this stuff. And I'm like, all right, 85-yard wedge shot, probably. not my strong suit. I go for this shot.

I'm trying, I swear to fucking like. I hit so far into the ground that the divot pushed the ball up. And then on my follow through, I hit it again. Yeah. Double hit up into the year. It almost went behind me. And Vinnie LaTorries goes, no way. He's looking around and goes, there's no way that just happened.

And everyone, like, fell to the floor. Like, there's no way this kid just hit the ball backwards on an 85-yard windshield. No way. But that's just that, I mean, when you don't practice, I mean, this doesn't happen to every. Well, I was going to say, you've been. We've had this podcast for like four years now, and it's been the thing you not being able to hit wedges the whole time, and it just never gets better. I think it's a mental thing for you, and we've talked a lot about that. But, like, I don't know if it's ever going to get better for you, unfortunately.

The problem for me is that we never practice those shots. Whenever I golf, I golf for a score. I play. I go to the first tee, and I just try and get the ball into the hole at the lowest amount of strokes. That is what I do every single time we golf. I do not go to short ranges and practice an 85-yard chip shot. When I have an 85-yard chip shot, or like, a... or whatever, a wed shot, I'm not, like, that's my first time attempting that since the last time I've

Yeah. You know what I mean? So it's like, obviously it's not going to be like up to par of what, like, Riggs gets to do when he goes to a range for two and a half hours a day and gets to fucking chip these things close to the pen. No, I know you mean, for sure. I mean, that's what's nice about, I mean, obviously belonging to like a club or a country club back home is, I mean, I can go to the range for two hours and practice so shots. But, I mean, I still, I still chunk him all the time. Yeah. But, I mean, the course that I play, it's pretty short.

So it's a lot of driver wedge, a lot of maybe some low irons here and there. But, yeah, like you said, dude, there's nothing more frustrating than hitting an unbelievable drive and then chunking your wedge from 85 yards out. You actually get mad at good drives that you hit, Frankie, because they sometimes end up putting you in a place where you have to hit, like, a 90-yard wedge shot, where you're like, I'm going to take three wood. Like, I don't want to hit it that far. Because you hit the ball pretty far. Yeah, you have like a 4-10 par four.

All of a sudden you're like 90 yards out. and you're just like right in the middle of the fair way why am I here right now? I should have just hit a hybrid off the two so I can take a full nine iron or an eight iron instead I have a little check down 56 degree nightmare you think just because you're in the middle of the fairway 85 yards out you should put a right to the hole

it's actually so much more intimidating hitting from that spot as opposed to like being under maybe you are like in the high rough but like or you have a little bit of grass to get underneath like I'm so much more comfortable in that position than I am off a tight lie from like 75 yards out I'm with you 100%. All right jens one of my holding up right here in front of your faces. Barstool golf hat. Fantastic one at that. Yeah,

Is there any part of your golf game that's a little flashy? Because I know on the rank and on the ice, you got the hands, you like to try crazy different things, like to score goals. Do you see that leaking into your golf game at all? I try to, but it's not as seamless as you think. You go for the high 60, right over the bunker, and it just doesn't work out the way you picture it in your head.

But I don't know. I mean, I play a nice little draw off the tea. Yeah. But it's just not as easy as it seems in your head. Like, it's just, I don't know. I kind of like that you're clearly frustrated that you can't flash up the golf game. No, you can't. Yeah, I feel like when it's meat and potatoes, you shoot way lower.

Right. I agree. Well, the reason I bring that out is because Vinny's telling me, when you guys are in San Diego, he said, first of all, he goes, the game is just too easy for this guy, best hands he's ever seen. And he goes, there was a game, he can't remember who you guys were playing against, but you looked at him and you go, Vin, I'm going to go out there and do something absolutely insane right now. And then you went out there, and he said, you did this reverse-toe drag, flip up,

and the goalie fell on his back, and he just came back and gave him, like, a head knot. And he's like, this guy is so flashy and he's so good on the ice. So it is funny to see that, like, you're, like, struggling to try and bring that into the golf game. It's funny you say that, because Vinny, me and Vinny obviously played together in San Diego and a little bit in Anaheim. But Vinny was like the perfect guy I could play with because he is like so focused on like playing the game the right way and like

bearing down on everything where I'm just the complete opposite where I just want to like try crazy stuff and flip it over. So if I do something crazy and it doesn't work, he like immediately would yell at me and be like, all right, we're back to playing now like none of that or whatever. But that's funny because he actually had a, I think he had a pretty flashy pass to me on that on the one he's talking about.

He says he goes, when I'm playing with this guy, I feel like a shooting guard just standing in the, corner watching this guy do something and then when it doesn't work it's like now i got to go in there and help him it's so frustrating but also the funniest thing and so much fun to play with you so that is funny man so so any plans for golf before the season goes uh comes back so on sunday i'm going to fisher's island no way how are you getting out there so my dad knows like it's it's private obviously so he knows two people that belong there so we're doing a little foursome on sunday take the ferry out have some lunch.

Oh, dude, that's going to be a great day. Yeah, I was like, awesome. I was like, I'm down. So, like, when you're playing an all-time course like that, are you, like, scouting it out online? Oh, yeah. Yeah, you're, like, looking at all the holes. Oh, yeah.

Well, I've had that circle on my calendar since last year. I had something going on with my shoulder, so I wasn't able to play. But then obviously with COVID, the place was shut down. But, no, I've been looking forward to play in this place for a while. But the problem is with playing all these, like, cool courses. I mean, around here, there's, like, wing foot, like, all these great spots. A ton. Obviously, like, you get done from working out and skating,

and you're just like, you can go play, like, play my home course. Right. So it's like, everyone's like, oh, you live in New York, but, like, you haven't played wingfoot or you haven't played all these courses. And I'm like, it's not as easy as you think. You can't just pop over and play wing foot, like, casual. You know what I mean? So, I don't know, I'm pretty excited.

Yeah, that's going to be awesome. Yeah. What's your favorite course that you've played, you know, ever, I guess? Ever. I mean, we played Pelican Hill, played with Vinny. Yeah. There's two courses. one's kind of on the water and one's kind of up on the hill above the water.

So playing that one with, played with Vinny and a couple other teammates. That one was pretty cool. But yeah, I mean, I'd probably say, I'd probably say Pelican, obviously. Yeah, that's not a bad. No, it's not bad. It's funny, like, when some people, like, when you're playing, like, a bucket list course, like, there, I know Riggs is one way

where he wants to experience the course for the first time with his own eyes. Won't look at the score card. Won't look it up online. But me, I'm total opposite. I want to see drone shots. You're looking at flyovers on you. flyovers. I'm looking at every single piece of the scorecard that I could possibly look at at because I want to know like, all right, like, how cool is it to like when you played like the old

Tiger Woods games or something? Like, when we went out to Pebble Beach. Yeah. And you're on seven. And you're like, I used to play this in video games. Like I've played this course 150 times. Now we're just here. Like there is no better like version of playing the game of golf than doing that. No. Yeah. I'm with you. And then that is so many great courses out in California. And hopefully I get to play some more as we go over here. Gosh, you got all of them out there. Yeah, so I mean, I got a... Hopefully I got a lot of good courses in front of me, but, yeah, I'd probably have to agree with you.

I'd definitely like to get a nice little pre-scount. Yeah. I'm not walking in blind and shooting 100 out of nowhere, you know? Do you get nervous on, like, when you're... Oh, yeah. Well, I played in the member guests the other week at my club. I was a late filling, and I'm, like, standing over a six-foot, I'm playing two, like, 45-year-olds, and I'm, like, sweating.

I'm like, this is nuts. But that's probably my favorite part is... I mean, I don't really get, like, too nervous. like doing anything else I guess but like you stand over a four-footer and you're like I'm sweating here right so that's probably why well we talk to a lot of athletes on this pot about like like um you could be like in the ninth inning of a world series game pitching and you're not nervous for like a closing pitcher but then you step up to the first tee at a member guest and you're shaking but I guess it's just because like you're just so confident in your hockey game and it's something that

like you know that you're not even thinking about. I mean, no one cares about how you swing at that member guest, but you're still nervous, right? So nervous, yeah. And that's why it's so much fun, like, to kind of get that, like, competitive juice flowing, I guess, in the off season, it's awesome. I mean, I don't know. It's not great shanking one off the first tee at the number guest,

but it's, I mean, I'd still do it every time. So much fun. So you haven't played in, like, one of these big, like, like, like a pro-am events yet? No, I haven't. That's going to be in your future, you know that, right? I saw the one, uh, well, I saw the one, uh, What was the one they did?

Lake Tahoe. Yeah. That one looks like a blast, so hopefully maybe one day. Oh, no, you'll be in some pro. Yeah, it looked so much fun. I mean, the guy in the playoff hole, you see it. He hit, like, two in the water and the shankth one. You're just like, this guy's unbelievable, but he can do that in a playoff hole.

Yeah, I thought that was pretty good. Yeah, I think you got a lot of pro-ims in the future. Yeah, and you're going to have to get the nerves out because on that first year, there's going to be fans on the left and the right, and you're going to take people out if you're not. Well, what was the hole? The 17 on the R-3? Yes, the R-R-3. Oh my God. So bad.

So bad. I would, I would, I think I would freaking pelt somebody with my mom. Oh, man. All right. So Fish is Island, man. That's going to be awesome. Yeah. When do you go back out to California?

When is the season, like, really start up for you? So I think training camps on the 22nd. So maybe head out there. Oh, August? Yeah, maybe end, no, September. Oh, September. So maybe head out there like end of August, early September. I don't know, maybe meet up with a couple of guys, play some golf.

So are you living with any of the guys? Yeah, I live with Drysdale. Oh, nice. Probably work on something for next year with me and him. He's not the best golfer, but he's trying. We got up some clubs this summer. Also, he's brand new. It's funny.

I feel like all hockey players, they can hit it so far, but it's the same with him. Like, he pounds it off the tape. You give him a wedge, it's like an instrument. Like, he's got no chance. The weird thing with fucking hockey players is that they'll sometimes shoot lefty and they play golf righty. Yeah.

Anders Lee was playing Brady yesterday. And, like, Brady Shea, I'm pretty sure Brady Shea is a lefty hockey player. Yeah, he is. He's a lefty. Pounds the ball, right? I don't understand that. I'm a lefty. I'm a lefty, lefty, lefty, yeah.

I don't understand that. That one really took me for a loop. I'm watching these guys. I'm looking at Brady, like, this guy's about to be like one under today on the golf course. Like, he plays a sport this way. Yeah, I don't know how that. He looks down at the puck this way,

and all of a sudden you're looking down at the golf ball this way. Yeah. That's got to fuck you up. That's athletes, they've got too much talent. How about my buddy, Clayton Keller, who is unbelievable at golf? He plays in. Arizona and whatever he trained

apprentice for a couple summers so I had them out to my to my course or whatever so he's a lefty hockey player plays golf ready but putts lefty nightmare nightmare that guy's brains all over the place but he is unbelievable unbelievable I mean just attacking every pin from everywhere

I was like Jesus I beat me on the front nine wave I was like oh my God is he the best guy that is in your inner circle yeah he's probably the best yeah he's probably the best golfer I played with it that's obviously plays hockey yeah I mean, it is crazy, so you're a lefty golfer, but you've experimented with putting righty because... Well, see, like that's a little bit, like, Brock Nelson plays lefty, yeah. Shoots lefty in hockey, and he puts righty with a lefty grip.

Like, that's something I think you could do. Okay. Or crosshand, yeah. A lot of guys do crosshand, yeah. But the swinging, like the full swing, you're essentially like a switch hitting baseball player at that point. You're doing too... No. Crazy, man.

Crazy. Well, hey, I mean, what are you doing in, like, New York? city like right now like just checking out like the city like i mean i only live a train i mean it's like a 30 40 minute train right for me so i live in pretty much like greenwich connecticut like bedford new york area right on that awesome right on that area yeah it's no it just hop right on the train it's like an hour so in here just see like the barsoe office today yeah exactly checking it out yeah you've been a big barstle fan for a while oh yeah i remember i remember reading barstle when it came out when it was like a blog you know on like the internet like look at it like hilarious but you went to school in boston

yeah i went to be you and it was huge there Huge, huge. Now all my buddies are barstool athletes. I don't even know if that's, is that approved? Yeah, it is. I think we just say yes, and it is. I don't know. I look at our Instagram, and, like, if you look at how many posts we have, that's how many athletes we have.

It's crazy. And it's like, I think there's like 2,500 athletes. It really picked up steam really fast. Everybody wants to be a barstow athlete, which I think is awesome. Yeah. Yeah, so it was probably, I mean, it was like, couldn't have been bigger probably at BU because that's just, like, the center of it. Ground zero of basketball sports.

With the Patriots and all of them. Yep, yeah. Just big, big, big, big, big barcel. Do you got a chance to see Dave walking around here today? So me and my brother, when the lobby, my brother's a huge Portnoy fan, big Barstle guy. He's actually here with me. And I was looking at my phone or something. He's like, dude, Dave just walked by.

And I was like, dude, I was like, dude, go say hi to him. What do you mean? He was like, no way. So it's pretty funny. You guys had anything planned for the night or? No, I probably just chilling. Yeah, I probably just head back. Yeah.

All right, man. Well, thanks for stopping in. Yeah, no. It was awesome. Yeah, it was really cool to get to know you and talk to you, and hopefully we can get on the course one of these days. That'd be a blast. Yeah, let's do it.

We got some golf with Barstall Sports in the future. Yeah. Maybe that's a little hint somewhere. Maybe. Yeah. Well, Trevor, thanks again, and thanks for everything, and good luck. Of course, thank you. Yeah, that was a blast.

Appreciate you guys. Wait, so we were just about to leave. I mean, if we're going to talk a little bit of Islanders and Borrellys, I mean, unbelievable. I loved it. So you watched, you saw the reactions at the restaurant, you saw the stream. We need more. that from like every team it was incredible thank you man i appreciate that i mean you know it's so much

more fun when like everybody's into it you know my gosh dude and for me like i don't know like i don't know like i always find a weird for you guys because you probably knew that you were on this path to being a pro hockey players i don't know if you have the same fandom of a team oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah a big ranger fan growing really yeah oh yeah but still i actually turn that off but like for me it's like if i'm not going to be the pro athlete. I'm not going to be a part of the team. As a fan, what bigger or better scenario is it for me to be able to like rally together my, like the fan base that I love all in like my family's restaurant and go crazy about my favorite hockey team? It was like the ultimate fan experience. Oh yeah, too. It was unbelievable. Game like, game like, game six against the

lightning. I'm sorry, game, uh, when the guy scored overtime. Yeah, but we were at the Coliseum for that one. But like, I'm trying to think of like when, even in the Bruin series, when we, would win a game. It felt like we were at the game. I know. Like being home in a restaurant, it was the coolest thing of all time. Well, then you had Barry Trots. Give you a shout-out. Give Borelli's a shout-out. That was a crazy show of all time. After game six against the Burunds, he goes, shout-out to all the guys at Borrelli's. No way. That's crazy. At the podium, he says, just after a fucking playoff line. That's crazy. Well, I just remember, obviously, the Rangers when I was growing up, they were really good. They made a lot of good playoff runs.

So, yeah, I think that's, I think that's awesome. And I don't know why, why was everybody throwing beer cans on the ice. It was just... I think it was just... It was a madhouse? It was a madhouse and it just... Like did somebody throw it? Like did somebody start it?

You never got a chance to play there, right? No. No, you've played the Coliseum. Fuck, that's such a miss, man. But it's funny, like I remember, so when I was 10, 12 years old, Doug Waite was the coach there. And I'm really good buddies with Danny. Danny Waite, obviously, which is a son. So I remember going to the Coliseum.

And I couldn't believe it was the same place. Awesome. All these years now, whatever. So I remember... Well, back then, there was probably 10 people there. Oh, yeah. It was greasy. The Dougway Islander's era was not the greatest.

No, but it was awesome. Yeah. So it was such a blast. But, yeah, no, you know, we're going to miss it. And I really think that the beers coming on the ice was just like a... Like, if this is the last game here ever, because it ended up being, like, let's just fucking tear this place to the ground. People were just tossing beers. The guy after he scored was, like, hiding in the tunnel.

He's like, I don't want to get hit by a beer can I thought. That was awesome. The best quote was Bavillier, who scored the goal. He goes, usually the bench smells like cigarettes, and now it smells like beer. Because they say that where there's a little standing area outside the calcium, and this is the smoking area. And they put the smoking area right next to the ventilation system that would actually feed the air down towards the bench. So all these guys would get in after the, once the period started, they'd sit down on the bench,

and it would just smell like cigarette smoke at the Coliseum. Crazy. Just Neanderthal type shit So funny I fucking missed that place already Alright well now we are Thanks for bringing up Borrelli's and the islanders Of course yeah

Yeah best of luck man thanks again Thank you appreciate it That's awesome Yeah no dude sick Of course Thanks man Thanks for coming in this is great Dude by the way

I'm a huge bachelor at fan Oh you get sit down now Are you really Every time we stop the podcast This guy Once I say thank you Trevor He goes I gotta say one more thing

I just thought I fucking love the Borrelia I'm a huge I think the first, so we would watch it, whatever, so it's actually pretty fine. Bachelor at at he's talking about. At BU, we would do like Bachelor at Watch Parties. Yes. So like the entire team would go to somebody's room and we'd throw it on.

Yes. I think the first, I don't remember which one we watched. It was a, it was a guy who was a bachelor. Yeah. It was the one, got to give me some bachelor. Ben Higgins. No. No.

Matt James. It was the pilot. Pilot Pete. Yeah. No, it was one before him. Oh, man. Who was before Pilot Pete? Trying to think back in.

No, maybe it was Pilot Pete. I don't know. But whatever it was, we love that show. So are you watching this season? I didn't watch this season. Okay. I watched the last one. What was the one last?

Matt James. And then there was Tasha and Claire. Yeah, that's the one I watched. That was the latest one I've seen. You would sit around and have Bachelor and Bachelorette watch parties? Oh, yeah. What is that? What are we talking about here?

Oh, yeah. Dude, it's. We love it. It's such a good show. It's so good. So you guys would go crazy when there would be drama? Crazy. I thought it was, we just think it's so entertaining.

It's so entertaining. Like, this is the thing. This is what people don't get. It sounds like you do get it, where you don't have to watch it because you want someone to fall in love. Or it's like, you think like, oh, they have to get married at the end. That's what it's all about. No, it's about trashy reality TV and getting enjoyment out of it.

Yeah, no, we eat that stuff up. I was actually on Pilot Pete's season, if that's the last one you saw. I was the luggage guy. Oh, the luggage. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. No, of course. That's too funny.

This is great. This is a great way to end it. We don't know yet. Yeah, like, unless he brings up something else that we like. Don't. We're going to say, this thing's over. The podcast is over. We're going to now dab them off for the third time of the show.

So I don't even know because you, so behind the scenes here, Jake has hit end record twice now. Yeah. And then we've had to restart because every time we say body, you bring us something that we want to talk about. It's such a good way to do the podcast. That's too funny. All right, well, Trevor, thank you so much for joining the show. Yeah. Best of luck with everything.

Thank you. We will see you soon. Awesome.
