Do you consider golfing being in nature?
Wow.
I would say, like, I mean, you're mostly in the trees all the time in your golf games.
I mean, honestly.
What a shot.
I mean, honestly, what are we talking about here?
Listen, you can argue against all you.
Listen, listen.
You can
Yeah

In which I still
Want to hear
About that
By the way
That you just went to band
Dune's for
How long are you in Bannon?
Five days
in Banda Dines
Wow
excited to hear about
that over dinner. Dan Rapport is joining us. Fun fact, he actually, his first day was, I think,
like the very end of last week, and then he went straight to his bachelor party in Vegas. So once he
joins us tonight and then wraps here for the rest of the week, we're going to begin our travel
series matchup. We had a fun little wolf game today. This is all going to come out in a month or so,
but we're in Myrtle Beach, boys. How's it feel? It's my first time here. I really like it.
Where they've got a set up here is really nice. I mean, I'm looking at the ocean right here.
people are going in the waves are crashing onto the shore it's a um it's a beautiful spot we've got here
yeah it's a classic beach um tour spot like you're looking down you're looking at everyone having
fun they're playing mini golf they're in the beach you can see all the umbrellas lining from here
till your eyes can see down the beach everyone's having fun it's labor day weekend it's the last
bit of summer that they're going to be able to get and it's just um it's a really cool vibe
I love this vibe.
I love when you walk down the streets.
You see all the lights.
You see the carnival type atmosphere.
A little bit everything.
You see the Ferris wheel.
You see that,
you know,
it's just,
things are happening here.
It's not boring.
There's nothing that you,
there's fucking action here in Myrtle Beach.
You couldn't ever have a boring night in Myrtle Beach.
Yeah,
we went out to dinner last night,
and the Ferris wheel is right there.
Rip and tides,
we got to drink at.
And then we went to a pier 14.
Pier 14 restaurant right on the water.
On the pier,
great food.
We had awesome,
just like fried shrimp and tartar sauce.
And we had crab.
legs. We got steaks and you got
po-boy. It was fucking, it's a good meal.
What kind of drinks you get to start that?
I started with a frozen strawberry
margarita. I got some books.
There's nothing wrong with that.
I'm a, you know, we don't drink shame.
We were in Toronto
and we got a drink, we got drinks
before dinner and we had with this
really cool, hip place right before the bar so classic
and, you know,
people were in drinks. Huh?
The keg? No, we went to the keg,
yeah. But this place was
called like Ruby Soho real cool
like everyone was wearing cool pants in there and they're just like
what a real cool spot.
Yeah.
Joggers?
People.
There's a lot of cool people.
Okay.
And I'm looking around.
I'm like looking at this cocktail list and there was this one.
It was like a watermelon martini.
And the way that it was written, it looked so refreshing.
It was like a splash of watermelon over tequila.
I'm like, oh, I really like that.
And everyone else got their drinks.
It was beers.
It was like Manhattan's.
There were like bourbons.
Yeah.
And mine came in a little.
tulip glass with a little
fresh piece of watermelon sticking off of it
and the nice greens were showing
and the guy showed it to me he's like isn't that cute
the bartress isn't that cute as he gave it to me
I don't like that response from him
I think if whatever you want to drink you should be able
to drink people who drink shame
you're like if you do that you're 21 years old
they set you have to fail with some of the
glassware you know I guess
but that's like there's an art to that too
totally I enjoyed the shit out of that drink and I enjoyed
my frozen strawberry margarita
That's the goal, isn't it? Enjoy it.
Yeah, it takes it great.
I got a nice little brain freeze and I suck that thing down like there was no tomorrow.
How do you cure brain freeze?
You put your tongue to the top of your mouth and you squeeze it.
Yep, that's right.
Real hard.
That's true.
It gets rid of it.
Goes away right away.
We got a lot to get to.
We got this Live finish, which I didn't watch any of it, but the highlights made it all over Twitter,
which I would say is the biggest action that I've seen, golf action yet from Liv, which makes sense.
DJ makes a big put to win in the playoff.
We got a bunch of from the galleries to get to.
I want to recap our weekends.
I want to talk about Shady Rays, which is the official sunglasses of ForPlay.
Shady Rays, they got a phenomenal deal where you buy two or more pair.
If you go to ShadyRays.com slash for Play, I believe it is, then you get 50% off on two or more pair.
They have phenomenal styles.
They got aviators.
I've been rocking aviators lately.
I don't know if you guys noticed.
I've been rocking aviators lately.
A bold choice, but they look good.
Maybe a little top gun inspired inspiration.
Yeah, that's hot right now.
InSpo.
So I'm going to get deep into those.
Shady rays.
I just got them tossed it.
Oh, nice.
I'm going to get deep in the sunglasses game
when I eventually get LASIC.
Then I'm going to really embrace.
You've been out because you can't see anything.
Yeah, I just haven't.
It's on me.
It's,
I just haven't figured out a way to work them into my current situation.
So once Frankie and I,
and I'm going to include him because I'm going to peer pressure him to eventually get LASIC,
once I do that,
I'm going to become full sunglasses.
Shady rays are polarized.
So I was actually,
I went fishing on Friday.
We talked about that.
Doing ASMR opening of a shady ray glasses.
Hold on.
Polarization.
So you can see there's no reflection on the water.
you can see.
Rakes,
just hold on for a second.
A little fishy swimming.
Just wait up to open up this Shady Ray's glasses.
That was not an enjoyable sound for the listeners.
You,
Alex,
who is listening.
Alex has headphones on,
and I watched him wince and go,
was it loud or was it gross?
He said both.
Alex Bush hated that sound.
You went fishing,
great in Colorado?
I went fishing.
Shadyrays.com slash 4Play.
You get 50% off to a plus pair.
They got amazing styles.
You can go pick a bunch of them.
I do that.
I would say,
Twice a year I go in and I pick like four or six pair and I just rock them for the rest of the year.
And then I, you know, they will replace them if they're lost or stolen.
So you don't have to go back.
But a lot of times I just, their deal so good that I'm like, I'm just going to fire it back
up on the website and get in a couple more, two, four or six more pair.
Frankie looks great right now.
Shee, you look really nice, Frankie.
I went fishing Friday.
You know, I'm not a notorious outdoorsman, I would say.
More of an indoorsman.
The only time I really go outdoorsman is golf.
I got a question for you.
Sure.
Frank and I were talking about it on the cart today.
It's a question that I posed to him because I've been thinking about it.
Do you think, do you consider golfing being in nature?
Wow.
I think if it's, it's closer to yes if you're walking.
Think if you're just riding around in like an electric powered golf cart.
It's hard to say yes.
Like because you hear people say, like, you know, get out of there.
Get some fresh air.
I mean, during the pandemic, people, all they did was golf.
So that's obviously outside.
But do I feel like I'm in nature when I'm playing golf?
My answer to that is I lean towards the, no.
When did you start thinking about that?
Because today you said it as you were looking around and we were in like a house line,
Myrtle Beach golf course.
I've been thinking about it for a couple weeks now.
And I don't know what.
So you're telling me when you were at when you were at Band and Dunes playing like,
here's what brought it up.
So there's like the trails course.
You didn't feel like you were in nature.
That one, that specific one, you feel more in nature.
But what brought it up is I've recently, there's a park by my new, my new apartment.
And you're going to keep calling your new apartment six months forever.
So there's a, there's a park by my new apartment.
And I go there sometimes and I, and it's a wooded area and there's all these trails and I just
wander around because I feel like being in nature is good for you.
Like just, just staring at a screen all the time.
I stare at my phone all the time.
When I just wander around, in nature, I feel like that's good for you.
And then I was comparing it being like, I golf a lot, but that doesn't feel the same as when I'm walking out there in the trails.
Yeah.
It's different activity to me.
Like it's still nature, though.
The experience we had today was not being in nature.
Would riding a bike through those same trails be different to you than you're just wandering amongst like in between the trunks like you are right now?
Is walking?
No, it's the setting.
It's the setting.
Well, then I would say like, I mean, you're mostly in the trees all the time and you're golf.
games. It's like, I mean, honestly. What a shot. I mean, honestly, what are we talking about here?
But I, listen, you can argue against all you, listen, listen, you can, yeah, you guys can argue against it all you want,
but when I brought the question up, a silence fell over this room that made me know that I was on to something.
I'm not arguing against it. It's an interesting question. I get what you're saying. It's like a modernized
commercial experience in nature. Like, it's golf carts, there's screens, there's music. It's different.
But I would say like that all it definitely depends on the experience kind of a shitty answer.
But like today's experience, I would say is hard, much harder towards no than like when we were in Tasmania and we played barn boogel and those were walking around amongst the kangaroos and we walk up and the oceans right there.
That was way more like we were among nature.
Yeah.
This was like we're in between homes and Myrtle Beach with like you said screens and like checking your phone in between every shot.
That's not really in nature.
I do think trails, ban on trails is a good example.
Yeah.
You're amongst beautiful.
It's cut out of trees.
It looks beautiful.
Another big aspect of it is, you know, I've been doing, I've been trying a lot more lately
to do this whole, like within the first 30 to 60 minutes of being awake to get like at least 15 minutes of true sunlight on you.
Just, it's like really good for you.
Yeah.
And I think that there's an element of it just being good for you, your body, your soul, your like mental state to just get outside.
For sure.
So I do think you're accomplishing that.
Okay.
I, I, you know, I'm not.
not fully on one side or the other either.
It's something I've been thinking about.
And you went fishing, so I figured,
I mean, that's nature. We're in nature.
We're touching nature. Nature was on our hands
or we caught the fish. Right. I was fly fishing.
Which is harder, right?
Harder. It's, you know, it's like flimsyre rot.
Like when you do the
typical, like, spinner rods,
we throw it out there with like a big hook and a big
fucking lure and like you just reel it in.
Yeah. And like, you can, the hooks are so
big on those two that like if something bites that
puppy you don't even really have to set the hook that badly and you're fucking roll that thing and with the fly rod it's
you know they call it much more artistic the river a river runs through it the movie brad pit the whole deal
and it is way harder to catch them because we were catching these rainbow trout that were probably like
14 to 20 inches which are pretty fucking big yeah and they you got these tiny little hooks at the end
with your flies and these little bobbers and they're again like super pretty relatively flimsy
rods that like when this sucker gets on there you fight it for a good like
three to five minutes of it just ripping around these little streams trying to get off it.
And you lose a good amount of them because like if you don't set the hook perfectly,
which again, I'm not like expert.
And you got a,
it's really,
you got a really,
really focus,
which I,
you realize quickly how shitty we all are at it.
Like I'm out there in the stream.
And you,
you know,
you throw your,
you cast it out there.
It takes a little bit of skill and learn.
You're like get the,
get the casting right.
You're throwing it in the fucking trees.
You got to whip the whole thing around and throw it out there and you get a good cast.
And you got to stare at your bobber.
And the second that it like twitches,
You got to yank that hook the right way.
You got to yank it downstream because the way the foot fish swim and that they'll actually eat the flies.
Yeah.
You have to set it.
And if you don't set it because the hooks are so, you know, small with fly fishing, it's like a lot more niche that like the thing will just fly around the stream until it gets off.
So if you don't set the hook properly.
So you got to sit there, dude, as this thing's going down the stream, you got to stare at that fucking bobber.
And the second, you know, I get like distracted.
There's like a fucking leaf falling off the tree.
I'm like, ooh-hoo.
Checking Twitter.
And then somebody's like, it's right.
And you already missed it.
And so it's, yeah, you check Twitter.
So you're, I mean, your dad and your brother are big fishermen.
Do you, are they just catching them all over the place and you're that guy who just
cannot figure it out?
No, I, we were in such a good spot.
Like, my dad set this up months in advance.
He's got this guy, Stephen, who's our guide, who's a barstool fan.
So he was awesome.
He was, he was great because he played it super cool the whole day.
And then at one point where he and I, he's like, like, like, Riggs, follow him.
me to this other hole over. I'm like, all right. And we're walking kind of in between the trees and
shit. He had like seen a rattlesnake here a couple of like years ago. So I'm like freaking out.
And he's like, uh, we finally got alone. And he's like, so do you like know Dave?
I was like, I do know Dave. He's like my boss. And he's like, that's awesome. He was sweet.
He was super cool like Colorado chill like blend between a, you know, fly fisherman like hippie,
cool dude, drove a Subaru like just was a nature guy. This guy, this guy is in nature a lot. Right.
And he helps you out a lot with like he ties all the flies and basically like if you fuck up or you get it stuck on a rock and he'll like retie it for you.
Um, but he he very much keeps you kind of like focused and points you in the right spots.
And I've done it enough like growing up, you know, like my dad always had a bunch of farmland.
So on the weekends, we would go up and go fishing and stuff.
So it's in like when you learn that shit as a child, you, you don't really lose it.
You're kind of out there and you can whip it around and you remember how to do it and whatever.
but so I caught a decent amount my brother caught a shit ton every time I looked over there
and he's doing you know like Stephen had to help me out with like the net every time I'd bring
the fish over you know after he battle me for five minutes he would just scoop it up in a net and
it's like it's kind of like cheating it's a joke yeah whereas my brother would literally
fight battle it reel it all the way into his feet you know grab that sucker by the
mouth take the hook out himself like put him back because it's all catch and release put
him back in he would just do it all day by himself because and again even that's listening
that's like part of like the fishing they're like that's not that's not
that hard. Everybody does that. But if you don't ever fish, my brother caught a ton of fish. He was doing
his own deal, doing a lot of his own like ties, his own flies, which is hard to do. It's like a whole
mechanism you put on there. There's a million different ways you can do it. There's different like
styles, different type of like fish you're going for. Man. Did you see the video at Bass
Pro Shops? I think it was on Barclos outdoors where they were buying like the bait or like the
hooks and they were just putting them in front of the fish that were at the Bass Pro Shop and
seeing if they would like gravitate towards them. They're like, yep, that's a winner.
no I did not see that wow it was like that's a good idea that's a really good
I didn't know if that's like I didn't know if it was an illusion like they were making
because I don't know the first thing about fishing so I didn't know if that was a real thing I
looked at right oh I see basically he like dangled it like in the water and like the fish like
went towards it I'm like yeah I'll just buy a bunch of these that's a good idea
dude the guy too he had like he was so good he would angle himself up on the banks and with
his, you know, polarized shades and he's got all the perfect gear. He could literally watch as
the fish were like about to go after your lure. And he knew like if they're going after or not.
And then within a few casts, he would like change it up. It was he to do. He's like,
they're not interested. I'm like, how do you know? He's like, I'm watching them. Like, that's
crazy, you can see him. I'm pretty close to him. I can't see it. So these guys that are good,
they can feel it out and the whole deal and the nature. But it was great. Fishing's fun. I can't
do it. I can't do it. I made it until about lunch. And I was like, I mean, you know, we're kind of
do it. We're just throwing it out there.
Like, we just throw this thing in the water and watch it all day.
You're either into fishing or you're not.
And I'm also a guy who's not that into it, but I have buddies growing up who they love fishing
and we would go.
And I would, I'd be like three hours in, I'd be like, I think that's it.
I think that's enough.
The rush at the beginning is super fun.
Like watch it being like, oh my God, I'm going to catch a thick.
There are creatures that are alive.
They're swimming around underneath this service.
And I'm going to trick them and pull them out of this.
That's amazing.
Right.
And then I'm going to like look at it and take a picture of it so I can impress people on the internet.
And then I'm going to like put it back in the creek.
That's really cool.
Once you do that five or six times, it's like, you know, all right, this was great.
What's next?
You know, which you could argue we play golf the same fucking thing every time.
Oh, I'm sure.
Try to hit a driver out there now and then like hit an iron and we're sure to do that 18 times, do it every day.
It's pretty crazy.
That is kind of crazy now.
It was fun.
It was nice to be out there.
It's very peaceful.
You don't see anybody else.
You can hear like the, you know, the water, like the rougher water.
streams running through the rocks and the fish are jumping occasionally it's great
Colorado's fucking beautiful I'd move to Colorado right now it's stunning I was out there that
weekend as well it's just I went to Estes Park Estes Estes this is where we were fishing
Not test crazy is that oh really?
Where you went fishing dude were you in the little town there where the elk are walking around
Bro we miss we went looking for out but apparently like there's elk that walk right across that
water dude and they walk right through the town it's crazy I watch them walk right through
the town. We missed all the elk. We went there for
the elk. They're like, oh, if you guys go to Estes Park,
you'll see a bunch of elk. We're like, oh, let's go do that. It was only
an hour away. Yeah, no problem. Dude, that's
crazy. Didn't see a fucking elk. Didn't even
see a dog. Dude, I got a picture right here
of, you catch
this. I didn't even see a pug. My brother
in the town.
What a sound you just made that. And he's just, there's an elk
in front of us. Yeah, that's where I fucking was, man. Look at
that elk. The elk's 15 feet in front of us. We were
just talking to him. Hey, Mr. Elk. Turn around.
I was standing right there. Oh, unfortunately, all
got to do is got a picture of his ass but they're right there see that really big Starbucks in that
town too yeah huge one beautiful it's a cool town are you being serious oh yeah it was a beautiful
Starbucks it was like all glass looked like a cabin overlooking the mountains 25 minute wait inside
that Starbucks the girls were in there me and my buddy Brian are waiting in the car 20 minutes
goes by we go do you think there's a hostage situation going on inside because at that point 20 minutes
there's not enough there's no one coming out there's no one coming outside so I well I got out of the car and
I walked in with this like grin on my face,
be like, what's going on in here?
And I walked in there, like, you wouldn't believe what's happening in here.
I guess they just prioritize all the drive-throughs.
So they're standing and they're just watching everyone with their back to them.
They were the first people online.
They waited 25 minutes at Starbucks.
See, that's usually-
That made me mad.
I laughed.
I'm like, can we go?
What's happening in here?
You always say online, huh?
Yeah, wait, online.
And my buddy Brian.
Like you tacked onto the line?
Yeah, you're on the line.
You're like, online.
You're like, yeah, you're on the line.
Listen, we don't have to do this.
But in line, you're inside the line.
Yeah, I would say you're online.
You're on line.
But you see the logic behind like, if there's a line of people, we got to get in line.
We got to get in that line.
Like I see a logic of almost like a bird's eye view.
Is that how you live your life from a bird's eye view?
I'm saying like I'm seeing there, they're being like a line.
Like everyone's like standing on this line, whether it be where they'd be like invisible.
Like we've all.
agree that there is a line that we're going to adhere by. It goes straight from the counter to here.
And I'm standing on that line. Do you see that side of it? Yeah, so I live on Long Island. But do you see
that side of it a little bit? I know that you have your own opinion. So there's an imaginary line and
you're on top of it. Like we're all like we're like, we're like we're like we're just saying,
I guess we are standing on this line. Like there is a line from that counter to where they want us to
finish and I'm standing on it. I'm there. See, I think the humans are the line. Okay. Yeah. No,
it's an age old debate. I know. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's,
soda versus poppits.
When you go to the movie theater,
like they've given you a line to stand on.
But there isn't a physical line that you see.
I mean,
they're kind of as you're in between the ropes.
They're like,
you want to stand on this line here.
No,
no,
no,
I actually,
if each place physically drew a line on the ground,
I would agree with you.
But there isn't.
But then the word line is just people standing there.
So like,
where I agree.
Right.
So like,
it's like there's no line drawn,
whether you're standing in it or on it.
But people will say like there's a two-hour line.
That doesn't mean that there's like,
a line drawn on the ground that takes two hours.
You don't need a line drawn there.
It's just whatever.
You're never going to convince me.
Otherwise,
it's just the way I speak.
It just comes up.
You know,
it's a good spar session for us.
It comes off the top of my head.
It's just,
I didn't even think about it.
I just said out on the line.
And I don't remember what I was saying now.
Something about Starbucks.
Starbucks 25 in a line.
Brian was like,
when you go in there,
if you don't come out in 10 minutes,
now I know that there's a gun in there.
How do you decide that you're the one that goes in there?
Oh,
I was just frustrated.
I'm like,
I'm going in.
Okay.
And he's like, if I don't see you in 10 minutes, I'm calling the police.
It was a pretty funny thing.
I was like,
you ever open packages like off to the side if they seem sketchy?
Oh, yeah.
When I, when my, when my pal, um, Josh sent me his, uh, garage opener, we got a package
at the house and it was just a garage opener in a black UPS package.
Yeah.
And I said, well, this is, it's over.
I watched that interaction go on between Frankie and Hannah.
He was, she was on the phone.
and he was like, you got a black, dingy garage door opener delivered.
And I was like, don't touch it.
Right.
Like what could that possibly mean?
She's like, yeah, I'm opening this package.
That's something from the Joker, man, where it's like, yeah, press the button.
Right.
Press that button and see what happens.
And fucking cars start exploding.
I'm picturing rush hour, the original rush hour.
A detonator just looks like a screwdriver with duct tape on it.
So, yeah, no, that's, oh, by the way, just to put a little bow.
on that whole story with the lock.
A new lock has been put on.
I saw a picture.
Yep,
we got a picture.
Josh sent us a group text saying all is good that they matched up everything that
needed to be matched up.
And it looked perfect.
It looked great.
He's got a nice lock on there.
And yeah,
I don't have to deal with that anymore, which is great.
I played golf with Josh Saturday.
It was great.
Oh,
what did he say?
Was he like Frankie's a fucking idiot or did he like really like?
Yeah,
he just kind of was like,
I told him the only thing he doesn't need to do basically is like,
in any way like use the devil and he just used the deadbolt i got to go back and read
his text message i don't know that he wrote don't use the devil he said do not lock yourself
out but i could be wrong there could be in all caps right use the deadbolt yeah no he was uh
just like tired and i just kind of laughed he kind of gave it like you know it's yeah i mean he's such
it's like he's the nicest guy of all time that like i didn't think it was actually gonna like
i was trying to get in his head too you know it's like he's about te off i'm like what's what's
going on with that door suggestion.
Yeah.
Did he play well?
He played pretty well, yeah.
Yeah, he always plays pretty well.
Yeah, it's something that I always have to deal with.
It's like I fucked up his lock and that's just something that we're always not
to live with it.
What was it like drinking out of the Stanley Cup?
I did not drink out of Stanley Cup.
So, uh, Devon Taves, New York Islander, um, he was an islander, a great, a great
Islander.
He was our guy.
All right.
We had to trade him.
Are the best defensive pairing of the NHL now.
Yep.
Went straight to the Colorado Avalanche, played with Cal McCar.
I won a Stanley Cup.
I was very happy for him.
He said,
Hey, man, we're having this
celebration with the cup.
I would love to have you there.
And I said,
I don't know if I can go celebrate the cup with you.
It's like kind of like bullshit.
Like I'm an islander's,
and like we just traded you, whatever.
He's like,
you wore a turtle neck to my wedding.
I think you owe this to me to like show me some respect
to like celebrate my day.
Fair point.
Went out there.
We have some family out in Colorado.
I made a whole trip out of it.
It was awesome.
I was very happy for him.
He had it at this amazing place,
the sanctuary golf club
that I think it's called The Sanctuary
and like eight people play at this place a month
basically like the story behind this place is like
Now that's nature, man
The remax, like the guy who owns remax or something like that
The real estate company?
Yeah, like built this golf course
Because like something happened to another club
Like they weren't like
They weren't like meeting the standards to like
To help his wife like maybe
I think he needed like more ramps or something at this golf course
And they like wouldn't do it
So he's just like I'm gonna go build a course right next to
We're talking about ramps last night
It was a spike build
It was a spike build
And he made the most insane golf course
I've ever seen in my life
And I didn't get a chance to play it
We stood on the first tee
And we looked down 200 foot elevation drop
From the first tee down in the fairway
6005 yard par 5 to start your day
You can hit a wedge and it goes like 225
It's insane
Yeah, Colorado golfsman
It's nuts
And like the whole place is beautiful
That I mean you have to see
It's immaculate
Waterfalls everywhere
And like no one plays
There's no members
And there's no guests
Like you have to be invited to play
Or you have to win at like a charity
auction for like tens of thousands of dollars to play this and I got invited to play and I was like
I'm going to be doing over I couldn't do it. The tea time was like 7 a.m. we went like out then I was like I can't
I'm going to puke. He's like oh it's a really high cliff I'm like yeah perfect for me to puke. He's like oh, it's a
bail on your tea time that morning. No the night before I was like you can't make it. But um so we went
out and uh yeah it was like he tried to get me to touch the cup and I and I got a lot of hate on
Twitter being like you know you don't when you can touch the cup you have nothing to do with the team
And I get that.
I just know from like past experience, shout out Grenelli.
Like you don't celebrate.
Like when you're like I like to be known as like the Islanders crazy guy.
And that's like an X I have on my back.
Like I have a target on my back for being an Islander's guy.
People that hate me, like teams that hate the Islanders hate me.
So like they were always going to use that as as a thing on me if I'm like sitting there drinking out of the Stanley Cup when my team didn't win.
The Islanders are a team that should win the cup.
And I have all faith.
Last place last year.
I have all, no, that's not true.
They were like, missed by eight points.
They were like, they actually came storming back last year.
They almost made the playoffs.
I have enough faith in this team that one day I will drink out of the Stanley Cup with my friends,
Brock Nelson and Anders Lee and Matt Barzell.
They're going to fucking do it.
I know they're going to do it.
So I want to save myself.
It's like being a virgin.
Like, I want to save myself.
I'm saving myself.
You're a Stanley Cup virgin.
Yeah, I'm saving myself.
And yeah, I took a couple pictures of it as it walked by and like, and he dumped shit.
You'd be like one of those girls at oxes off your like Stanley Cup virginity.
I can't do it, dude.
I'm not drinking out of it.
I like a million dollars.
I like seeing the cup.
When it came to the office, I took a picture with it.
Like when it's at the Hall of Fame, I like taking pictures.
I like reading all the Islanders' names on it from the 80s.
And it's like, that's cool.
I'm not drinking out of it like I celebrated.
So I didn't do that.
I did get baptized by it, though.
I have an unbelievable picture.
He came up to me and just, he poured champagne on my head out of the cup.
It's an unreal picture.
I didn't touch it.
That's pretty good.
But it's fucking he bapt- like I am in the church of the Stanley Cup now.
You know what I mean? I've been baptized.
So I actually think that's like a good thing.
Yeah, you get like a feel for it, I guess.
I did like the video of him.
I don't know what it feels like.
I didn't touch it.
I do like the video.
He ran after me with it.
That was a great video.
That's a great video.
That's a great video.
For a guy in your position, that's a perfect video to come out.
Because you're like, I don't want to touch it.
I don't want to drink out of it.
And the guy who invited you who won it is chasing after you.
That's a good visual for you.
I'm not superstitious when it comes to that stuff.
I used to be.
I used to get a popcorn every single game in section 21 at the Coliseum in between
Carvel ice cream from the lady Trisha in between like Gates one and seven and two in between
the second and third period. I would do it every single game.
Did popcorn and ice cream didn't work. They didn't even fucking have a winning season my entire
life having season tickets there when I was younger. So I stopped being superstitious.
I say that and I wore the same outfit to every single playoff game during the streams last year.
Do you think you'll ever get season tickets again?
Probably when I'm older. Yeah. I think right now like I'm able to go to games whenever I'm
Yeah, true. Probably when I'm older though. Like when I have kids.
and stuff I'd like I'd like to just have it's almost like you never thought you like belong to a club
because like we golf and travel so much but then like you realize it's just nicer to have a spot
to like call like you just know that you can get a tea time you got matches up there you know the crew
you know right staff you know I could say like I could go to any islander game just by like getting
tickets or like game time or whatever but to be nice to know like oh there is a game I already
have tickets yeah like that's nice like feeling but it's also like yeah well we got um we got a whole trip
ahead of us tonight. We're actually going to do
Home Run Derby. So
we're in Myrtle Beach. I know we mentioned that off the
top. Mertl Beach, the golf capital, the World Boys,
over 70 courses. Tomorrow
we're playing True Blue. Then we got
Pauley's Plantation and then we got
TBC Myrtle, I believe.
Which, from the DMs,
the responses, whenever we've been posting stuff,
people were hype on these
golf courses we're about to play. Today's
was incredible. We did Pine Lakes.
Is that what it's called? Yeah.
Pine Lakes. Grandaddy, the Granddaddy
I love that.
They have knickers on.
They have the whole outfit, the plaid.
And they're calling it the granddaddy
because it's the OG golf course down here in Myrtle Beach.
Very cool vibe.
Way more old school than I would have imagined.
I guess like the original what head pro or whatever was the original architect of the first course.
He was born in Scotland.
Oh.
On St. Andrews.
He's born in St. Andrews.
Oh.
Came over.
You can fucking know that part.
You post the picture.
It says it.
Born in St.
Andrew's the only reason I know it's from your photo.
You just tweeted out.
He was born and
St. Andrews.
Reading books out of you.
Came just came over here and he built a golf course in like 1920 or some shit like that.
And it was the first one.
And like we saw all the old photos of like the hotel that was there.
And it was the it was the pop in place.
All the, what were they calling them?
What were the dancers?
Flappers.
The flappers.
It was like that era.
It was the great Gatsby era.
They show up.
Who's who events would happen at this place, Pine Lake.
So really cool history.
Is that something about Hootie?
Oh, Hootie, yeah, Darius Rucker has his postmaster's event there every year or something like that.
And there was a picture of him and DJ there.
Big South Carolina guy, DJ.
Yeah, it's a really cool spot.
I loved the golf course today.
It was like, it was long.
It was.
Played long because it was wet at the beginning of the day.
Started dry out.
But yeah.
They'd be getting a lot of rain around here, so it played pretty long.
It's like 6,700 yards.
It felt like an old course.
It felt very old school.
It had to be.
you know, tree line, some water.
You had to avoid.
24 bunkers or something like that.
Yeah, that was it.
So pretty like in front of you.
It was great.
Myrtle Beach has been, as we talked,
off the top, phenomenal,
exciting, active.
There's just always shit to do.
If you're not having fun here,
it's a, you should,
it's a U issue.
Absolutely.
I mean, there's like zip lines we drove by.
Yeah, we drove to the golf course today
and there's like obstacle courses
and zip lines all over the place.
You can have fun in Myrtle.
Any golf here might be more intense
than the regular golf.
Holy, holy moly.
It's like every other block.
there is this ridiculous
venue for Minigoff
like rocks and pirate ships
and elephants blowing water
out of their horn
what are they?
Trunks. Trunks. Horns.
Elephants in those horns.
Do you see an elephant killed a guy
last week? Where?
I guess due to severe heat
exhaustion and like I don't know if it was
in India
either in India or somewhere really close to
there but I just came across this story
Twitter. I clicked on it and it was like
they're forcing, they force them to do logging.
So they have to like carry these logs.
They have to, yeah, exactly.
They had to carry these logs forever.
Yeah.
And eventually the
elephant just was like, fuck you.
It just killed. I love that.
Which, yeah, it's just, you know.
And anyways, they don't have horns.
It's amazing that we have elephants around still.
They're like, they seem like...
They feel prehistoric to you.
How about dinosaurs, too?
The fact that you should just run around here.
Yeah, it's like a woolly mammoth.
Well, we watched
Thrones last night
and you didn't watch it
and it got me thinking
I was asking Bug and Alex
like how weren't there dragons
like dragons seems so
realistic
that like back in you know
before the fucking comet hit the ground
like that they would absolutely
be fire breathing
huge ass birds and shit
or lizards whatever you can fucking call it dragon
are you saying that you think they did exist
there's just a very believable thing
that would have existed.
I don't think that they did.
I'm just saying like,
it's amazing they don't.
Right.
If a T-Rex can exist,
so can I drag you.
100%.
Like, it's amazing that we've come up
with this fake thing that is so realistic that you've to remind yourself,
oh yeah,
they weren't real.
I guess the fire breathing part's a little bit of a stretch.
It is.
You're just like,
you're just a,
I don't know,
you're just a flame throw or flying around.
Is there anything even similar to that?
I don't know.
To do a,
to breathing fire?
Yeah.
No.
What about like when they deliver those like tequila shots that are in fire and stuff
and the way to,
blow on it. That's like the closest they get.
True, but like, that's a perfect example with like
how would that work inside an animal?
How would they be able to muster,
they have gasoline flown with their veins?
You have fuel up.
Gas prices are high. They just can't. They just can't.
They don't have the weaponry that week. It's like waiting
online at the BP station.
Big old dragon by his butthole.
Behind a,
oh, fuck, yeah. Stand behind a Dodge Drogote.
Fuck.
I'm just going to try and get some of it.
Sir, would you like premium?
Oh, fuck.
Oh, fuck.
it's like $450
he's just like he's commiserating with
everyone else like I don't can you believe that's like you
plug that up real real tight
yeah we had an issue last time yeah
anyways visit myrtlebeachgolf
dot com you can shop golf packages
for the ball
we're so fucking stupid

Last night, by the way.
We didn't answer him.
He said,

Is it Spanish Bay?
We were at Spanish Bay.
There's coves.

He's put it back on.
What else about Colorado?
I'm trying to.
Kids love Colorado.
My niece and my nephew,
they just love Colorado.
They get so excited when they get to Colorado,
which makes sense.
It's amazing place.
And kids just love to be in the dirt.
They just run around in the dirt.
They really do.
They're just like, this is awesome.
Yeah.
They're just like digging shit out and throwing it on other piles of dirt.
Like, this is awesome.
This is amazing.
Great.
I went to the Jersey Shore this weekend.
That was fun.
DJs.
I went to DJs.
I went to Parker House.
The reason I went is because I went into the office on Wednesday.
And I was just hanging around with glenny balls.
And he was telling me about the shore.
And then he was like, you should come.
And I was sort of kidding when I said I would go.
And then the more we got into it.
And then Tommy smokes.
Oh, boy.
Came around and was like, you got to come.
That's over.
Right. He's like, and then, and then I wanted to back out at the last minute.
And I texted Tommy like, because I was going to pick him up in the city and we were going to go out together.
And I was like, I don't think I'm going to come. And he's like, I knew this was going to happen.
So he threw me into a group chat with a bunch of people. And he was like peer pressure.
And so they just started hammering me.
And I went, I just went for one night because we had to fly out here on Sunday. So I went Friday night, stayed there for breakfast Saturday.
And then I drove home. It was fun. It really was a good time.
DJs on Labor Day weekend was a lot.
I know people love that place, but it was just too packed.
I was there for like 15 minutes.
But Parker House was great.
Yeah.
That was a cool spot.
Not as crowded as the other place.
So I had a good time.
Hung out with Glennie,
hang out with Jeff D. Lowe.
How was your like luggage,
luggage boy fame there?
Pretty good?
Yeah.
I mean,
that's a pretty concentrated area of like young East Coast people.
So yeah,
you get,
you get recognized a decent amount.
I will say I did a very grown.
up thing that I thought.
So there's a bunch of people stay in this house that Jeff D. Lowe and Glennie Balls rented
for the summer.
And the situation that I had involved myself in, I was going to have to sleep on a couch
with Tommy Smokes.
And I was like, I just don't, I don't want to do that.
I'm old.
I don't, I don't necessarily feel the need to like be a part of the group in the house.
So I just got a hotel down the street.
And it was great.
It was a nice hotel?
No.
A.C.
Good.
Yeah, really good
But I had my own shower
I had my own space
Yeah
I didn't have to spoon Tommy smokes
Like I'm done with like the grind
Of having to fall asleep like somewhere
Like if I have to do it
Because I'm so fucking shit face
I'll just do it true
But if I'm like conscious enough
To make a decision where I don't have to sleep on a couch
I'm gonna do that 10 times at 10
But like what did I miss out on
Nothing at the end of the night
When everybody was going to bed
I was like boom
I got a nine minute walk to the hotel
And I'm gonna go do that
And then when everybody woke up the next day
I walked back and we went to breakfast.
A little fresh air before he goes to sleep.
Dude, it was great.
I'm like, I'm not a person who goes out and does anything anymore.
So, you know, the shore was nice.
It's a cool spot.
So Pine Lakes International Country Club, 1927.
I'm reading this plaque now for the first time I took a picture of and tweeted about today.
Number one hole dedicated to Robert White, who's a father of Grand Strand Golf,
born San Andrews, Scotland, 1876.
We've been there.
first president of the PGA of America
course architect
wow that's what he was first president
of the PGA of America
that's right the general manager mentioned that to us
and he's Scottish guy it's interesting
PJ of America
Scottish guy just cool that a guy from Scott
that came over here and was like I'm gonna build a golf course
right here in Myrtle Beach
and that's the place we played today
good idea you could feel it you could feel the history there
you could
I can feel it
coming in the end
man
also UC Boulder
was playing
was hosting TCU on Friday night
when we were there
college towns and something like that is happening
because Boulder's a huge college town
and Michigan was there too
were they Michigan was in town
for what they were playing like
some one of the colleges
oh they must have been in Denver
who did they beat
who did Michigan beat
oh they they they kicked the shit out of
who
Colorado State
that's in Fort Collins
I believe.
Okay.
But like we were down in Boulder on Saturday morning.
And it was fucking,
there were so many.
Team colors everywhere.
Michigan people there.
Dude,
it's awesome.
When you get a,
when you get a town,
even if it's an influx of the imports coming from the opponents.
Oh yeah.
The town's just a buzz.
It was all kinds of TCU purple everywhere.
It was like,
oh,
fuck.
It was a wild.
I mean,
like all like the,
the,
what's the,
it's frats and sororities.
Sororities.
All the sororities were like rushing that weekend.
I guess.
And it looked like those nightmare TikToks you see of all the girls outside.
The doors open.
Dude, it was nuts.
We were driving through trying to find like a cool spot.
I've been to Colorado a bunch.
So I knew like this place the hill in Boulder is like the college area.
We didn't realize like, oh, it's college football Saturday.
They just played the night before on Friday or maybe it was Thursday they played.
And yeah, we went to this place to the sink, which is fucking awesome.
I love this place.
It's unbelievable.
It's like one of those just cool.
college town restaurants.
You can't find a piece of the wall that hasn't been signed.
Yeah.
And it goes on forever.
And they have like little games where you throw the thing onto the hook.
It's so much fun.
And, but it's very young.
You realize that like college kids are young now.
That was the thing that I noticed at the Jersey Shore as well on the walk back from or to,
from my hotel to the house in the morning.
It's like a 10 minute walk.
And there's just people on hanging out on their front porches like hung over,
dissecting the night before. It felt like a very college town. I watched these kids. They were sitting
up on a porch just like looking at all like the girls walking by and they had like no these kids
had no shirt on drinking a beer on Saturday morning. I'm like those kids are living life right now.
Right. Just talking about whatever bullshit they did last night getting ready for the Saturday night
football just watching all these fucking hooligans in front of them running around. Those are the best
days. Yeah, I didn't experience any of those days. I went to the Nassau Community College. So it is cool to
like walk around and be like is this what happened it's like i spent more than enough time in iowa city
to say that that is exactly what it's like i got a taste of it with like the college football
traveling with with that show yeah where you got to go like to real i mean like jake went to
fucking albama where'd you go alex ohio and syracuse ohio state or ohio okay a little broadcasting
school of syracuse or is that what it is bro new house that's right new house brandon was uh stony bro
played high we played college there stonybrook right we're just talking colleges the sea wolves great
name sea wolves but then like i never experienced this like i go to like ohio state versus
michigan ohio state it's like holy fuck this is insane go to michigan michigan state in the rain at
michigan it's like wow now i see what's going on yeah college football Saturdays
maybe i wouldn't be so fucked up if i actually got to be you know what i mean i'm like always the
one looking in what do you mean what was going on over there that's why my brain goes so like
what actually happened in there.
I was always on the outside at NASA.
Yeah.
The Saturday morning's base.
You know?
It's the crux of all these issues.
Fucking nuts.
How about?
I want to pick a team.
I actually started to move towards Michigan.
And then my guy,
my guy,
Van at Alabama is really making a push.
I actually have a tied
collared shirt that he sent me.
So shout out to Van that I don't think I'm going to,
I don't know if I'm going to wear it.
Like he's like,
here's your shirt.
Wear it with pride.
It's like,
It's a big decision, dude.
I really, really like Alabama.
I think I like the whole thing that they got going on.
But that's a big decision.
Isn't Dana Beer is doing something similar right now
where he's kind of narrowing it down, narrowing it down?
You should do something similar.
Just, I mean, pick one.
But here's the thing, and this is what Dana, I think, is doing.
You get recruited.
So that guy sent you a shirt, big whoop.
He's an awesome dude, though.
That's okay.
But people can send you cooler shit.
How awesome was Vand?
Yeah.
To all the people who work in like a college,
I don't even know like what that would be in a capacity in a college.
Send me a Peter Millar shirt from your college.
Because you have their,
they might be like an equipment or a merchandise manager for a team or something.
Right.
Like the equipment manager for the Hawkeyes is a stooler or was a stool.
And he sent me a helmet.
I was in a,
I was,
I'm an okay Oklahoma State golf fan because they sent me one sticker.
Go folks.
It's still on your laptop.
Still on my laptop.
So if you want to do the same laptop.
thing. Yeah, if I use that laptop for certain stuff. I bet you do one for work.
Your fucking Reddit pages. Yeah, I got a new one for work. Mm-hmm. So that's good.
That one's off the grid. I made sure of it. Yeah, you don't want Pete. I filed off the serial
number. I opened up the fucking the hardware made sure some things are taken out of there. No more sense.
You know how to do that? No, I, I googled it though. Can Pete watch? Can Pete like see what we're doing
on our computers? Dude, Pete one time with like installed something where like something started blinking on my
thing. It said like logged in
and then he just goes, yeah, we're all good and like walked away.
I remember in the old office. I was like, bro, what
did you throw that thing into the East River?
Yeah, we're all good. Yeah, okay.
And then like, like,
the middle of the night, my camera will turn
like red and shit. Fucking
Pete jerking off in the back of the fucking
pick of college.
We'll cut that by the way. I believe
I believe I'm going
to an Auburn game this fall.
Wow. My schedule lines
and I got a friend that I'm like, I'm going to buzz through who's
going to grad school there. I was like, I have my buzz through go to a game. So I think now for the
whole year I need to be an Auburn fan so that hopefully when I go to that game, which I think
should be in November, they're like really good and it has huge implications. I like that. I'm leaning
more towards Michigan because I think when they win, it would be an amazing, like Michigan has to win.
They're always just like losing the big games. And I've been to four of their losses.
Like Ohio State, Dave might not want you then. I know. Like, dude, Dave's been to just like all
Michigan losses. I don't know if Dave's been to a Michigan win.
in recent years.
You know what I mean?
Every time we did the show there,
they lost.
It was crazy.
Was he at the Michigan-Mishin-Michigan State game?
Yeah, and like rain,
and then they lost Michigan State 1 in Michigan.
Was that the block punt?
Yeah.
Yeah, that was a bad one.
I was there on the field.
That was a bad one.
I actually might,
I was thinking with my buddy,
my buddy Kyle's a huge Alabama fan.
I might go to A&M at Alabama
because Van was like,
you guys got to come to that one.
Because of all the coaching bullshit.
Well, that's another thing.
If anybody,
if people want to like have us come to the games
and be on the field, we'd love to do that.
Love to. We want to experience college again.
Dude, when we went...
Too old to do that? No.
Me? Yeah.
Fuck, dude, come on.
I still look really young, so I can, like, fit in.
But here's the issues. You're in the weird gray area.
We're so old that it's, like, clear that we're not college.
True, that's awesome.
You could be, like, alumni that's, like, you fit in.
Fine.
I could be, like, the kid that, like, is failing and just can't, like...
You're, I can't graduate.
I just can't graduate.
What's going on with this kid?
Yeah.
Get out of here, dude.
Yeah.
Pass one glass one time.
So I think I'm going to Texas A&M at Auburn.
That'll be sweet on November 12th.
That's a good one.
Which I'm very excited about.
Last year, two years ago, the one that really took me by surprise.
Oh, this was before the pandemic.
So it must have been 2019.
It was Clemson was a fucking time, dude.
We saw South Carolina at Clemson.
That was a good one.
Big robbery.
Running down the hill.
Running down the hill.
The rock is sweet.
Fucking awesome, dude.
That town turns like.
orange.
I did the blackout
of Virginia Tech. It was Penn State Virginia Tech,
I'm pretty sure.
Remember how like when we got the chills
and we went by Oregon's, we went by Oregon Stadium?
Yeah, we were knocking on the door. Like, let us in. That'd be an amazing game too.
Oh, I mean, tough now. Their whole season, they just got absolutely.
Yeah, but like that, those specific curb stop.
Those, those teams can't compete the
No, they think they can't. Georgia, it's crazy.
It's the same league.
Oregon was great there for a while. It was just a,
a different league, isn't it, Jake? It's like, they can't even compete. It's like boys versus men.
Right, they used to run that fucking insane offense.
Isn't college football getting like two away from like, isn't there going to be no
parity in it because of all the paying the players? Like there's the big programs are just going to
be better forever now.
To 12.
Yeah, I don't know enough about that.
It just seems like the Alabama's and the Georgia's just always going to just have the chance to
It's kind of been like that regardless.
I know, like behind closed doors and all that shit.
Well, just like they've had great,
they've been great for a long time.
Has Bama ever not made the college football playoff?
Yeah.
How many times?
Was there ever like a bad time in Alabama's?
Yeah, before Savenan.
Before Savening.
The 92 was last Nafo cavernment of course before Saving.
Wow, 92.
Alex, can we hear him?
Okay, perfect.
DaVo was on that team.
Remember when you ASMR didn't?
You hear that.
LSU.
How much money did he just signed for?
Seven years or something like that?
I mean, he's a steal.
The guy makes them hundreds of millions of dollars.
Iowa beat Nick Saban LSU team in 2005 on a walk-off touchdown.
A Capital One Bowl.
Wow.
It's one of the best moments of my life.
There was an ice storm in Iowa in Cedar Rapids that day.
And me and my buddies were all watching it at my buddy's house.
And we just went outside after it happened and just slid on the ice
in excitement just sliding down the hill it was a great time you've sledding over s uc all day
of course yeah tate the holloway what is that that was the play tate to holloway drew tate to holloway
it's a great fucking clip what's your favorite sports memory probably that really dude it's an
amazing an amazing sequence of events that happens for it to happen what's yours uh man there's three
I would say when Tiger Woods 2019 Masters is probably always going to be number one,
then when the Blues won the cup, because that was something that me and all my friends have such like that's just what we care about.
Right.
And then I'd say 2011 Cardinals game six against the Texas Rangers when the Cardinals were down to their last strike twice.
and pool holes
David Freeze
hit the triple off the wall
to tie the game
and then the fucking Rangers again
took a two-run lead
at the top of the 10th,
I think it was?
And Freeze hit the Homer, right?
And then
what was it?
Berkman hit
a single up the middle
with two outs,
two strikes again in the bottom
of the 10th to tie the game.
They got this,
you know,
they three outs,
whatever.
David Freeze let off with a homer and Joe Bucks.
Like, we will see you tomorrow night.
Dude, I remember watching that game.
Oh my God, the craziest fucking baseball game of all time.
Bro, look at the here.
This is just, this is the last thing.
I mean, it's a hallway.
It's an audio podcast, but this time's about to run out here.
That's Drew Tate.
He's, oh, what's going to happen?
What's going to happen?
LSU.
Look at, look at it.
Oh, boom.
Oh, and he missed a tackle.
Miss a tackle and then it's over.
That's probably the best sports moment.
It's a lot of it's because I was with my buddies.
And like we were young, 2005, I was 16 years old, just living and die in Iowa football.
Well, that's like for me, the Yankees had won four world series by the time I was, so they won in 96, 98, 99, 2000.
So at that point, I'm only seven years old and they had four world series.
So like growing up watching sports, like when you're like five, six, seven, you don't really know what's going on, but like you're still like, like, when you're seven years old, you kind of know what's going on.
You're into it, but I don't really have the memories of all that.
Right.
So 2003, I'm like 10.
So Aaron Boone's home run
I was with friends and family
Aaron Boone hits that home running against the Red Sox
You're like coming off this dynasty
Of a team so like you're already ingrained
And all this like this team has to win every single time
The Red Sox are of a hundred year drought
They have a curse
Now of a sudden we hit this home run
It's the best moment of all time
So that one for me really sticks out
Because I remember where I was
Where I was standing
What it sounded like we turned the TV off
And turned on John Sterling on the radio
And we heard him first
So all of a sudden in the back of the basement
You heard him go that ball is it high
And we're like no way
And then a second later he swings
And like it's just fucking chaos
I'll always remember that delay
Of being like because we wanted to hear the radio sound
Right
And then like
It'd probably be as fucking stupid as this
Because they've never won
The last game at the Coliseum
The Islanders winning game six
Against the Lightning
Vivalier goal in overtime
There with my dad
I have on video because we live streamed it
the place is fucking going crazy and I knew that there was like a 90% chance that that's the last time I'll ever be there.
So watching like the beers fall onto the ice and the islanders all soaking it in.
Like I saw like Brock looking up like in awe like that it could be the last time because they end up losing game seven.
That's a moment where it's like dude that was only two years ago like that I'll always remember every aspect of that sports moment.
See I would say like for me that that's a big part where you said about the age when the Cardinals
in 2011 in that game was I was like 24.
Yeah.
It's your peak like sports fandom.
I'd been living in Boston for four or five years.
At that point I hated like Boston sports because Patriots.
I was reading Barsdoll and it was all Dave just shoved it down your throat.
So I was like I want him to be miserable.
The Red Sox were winning.
Everybody's winning.
And now here was my team, which they had lost the socks in 08 or whenever it was.
And would obviously lose again.
So it was like in 13 lost again.
It was like at that time in 2011, it was like, I remember being massive sports fan at the time.
And it was one of those very similar to like Tiger when Moinari hit that ball in the water where it was like the Cardinals were trailing the whole time.
So you're like, God, it'd be so cool if we could be tied or winning all night.
You're thinking that.
And then all of a sudden two outs, two strikes and freeze hits that triple off the wall that Victor Cruz like didn't quite catch and slowed up at the wall.
And you're like, oh my fucking God, the game is tied.
And then they, and then again, they fucking take a lead in the top of the 10th.
And you're like, I can't believe we fucking blew it.
And then they tie it again.
And you're like, oh my God, we actually won the game.
Crazy.
And then it was saying, it was very similar to Tiger.
He's like, God, he's just going to trail the whole time.
This sucks.
And then Molinar hit the ball in the water.
We were like, oh my God.
Wait a second.
Wait a second.
Like, what the fuck?
Tiger was, you know, it was very similar to that being like, oh, my God.
On the opposite side of that, uh, sports remember that I remember, but it wasn't a
positive one.
I was a diehard Cubs fan growing up, and I remember Bartman vividly in 2003.
I remember it.
I remember that happening.
I remember Moises Salu, slamming his glove.
And then I remember just completely unraveling.
But I remember like living in that moment being like, I'm probably going to remember this for the rest of my life.
He's just, Bartman is just sitting there with his headphones on.
People are going fucking crazy.
Like, holy shit.
It was game six of the NLCS.
And if the Cubs were going to win that because that was the year everybody thought it was going to be Red Sox Cubs.
somebody was going to break a curse and then Aaron Boone walks him off and fucking Bartman
loses it to the Marlins. It goes to a game seven and it's never close.
That's a sports memory that I have.
What did he have to move to like Miami or something like that?
Dude, he had to disappear. Yeah, I think he lives in Florida.
And the Cubs, now that they've won one, I think they've tried to bring him back and he's like,
fuck no.
Yeah, no.
He's like, you guys treat me like shit for, you know, 15 years.
that was one that I remember that was like holy shit yeah the helmet catch was one for the giants
i'm a jets fan but i was in a house with all giants fans and i remember that being like
probably one of the craziest holy fuck moments in sports where like i remember they had no chance
eli had no chance he just tosses a ball up and they have this catch on this helmet against a
patriot's are you kidding me that's if you're a giants fan how can you like pick anything other
than those two super bowl wins you know what i mean yeah if you're giants yankee you're
Rangers fan like that that moment right there watching that if you're any if you're over the age of
10 that's like one of the greatest sports moments I mean Rodney Harrison is trying his best to get that ball
out of there's crazy and Tyrese just like I'm keeping it crazy the perfect season spoiler that everybody
was invested in that too because you're like I'm gonna watch it's the super bowl so like you're
already watching it and invested in it like anyway yeah pretty crazy uh notion real quick

And I was talking to you guys yesterday a little bit.
We were here in Myrtle Beach.
We rolled in.
And I said, I don't know why I thought of it.
Oh, I was sitting at the airport.
And I'm watching planes go up in the air.
Like, what the fuck is that?
Like, that's just insane.
Yeah.
When you actually watch them take off, you're like, what is happening?
They're going so fast.
There's people just sitting there in the chairs and they're just flying through the air.
Then I googled something about planes.
Like, how fast do planes go at take off or like how many feet do they need to take off?
I was like very interested in the runway.
And it's incredibly safe.
It's incredibly safe.
And I was like, thinking to myself, what's more impressive?
The fact that that plane is flying or the fact that I was able to Google exactly everything about it within seconds.
then I thought what's the most impressive invention of all time what's the most what's the thing
that humans have done that is the most like how the fuck have we done that right so you then
asked us this question and the criteria is important because there's impressive and there's vital
yeah because we had said vital is probably the wheel yeah it's like that's the goat well
brennan jones says it's the compass or GPS GPS like in terms of
terms of things that are vital, I think, wheel, I'm not, I'm not, you're not knocking me off
wheel because look around. Everyone, if listening to this podcast, look around, there's wheels
everywhere. But in terms of like, what's an impressive invention? GPS is super impressive. The
internet's super impressive. Plains are super impressive. Satellites are impressive. There's a lot.
Electricity. Is electricity an invention? Yeah. Like the use of electricity. Right. Like electricity
has existed, but harnessing it to be able to power like lights and a building.
or whatever that could be more impressive than the internet you know what I mean really
impressive like who the fuck did like how the fuck did that change the whole world everybody was
using oil and like lanterns and natural gas probably natural gas yeah and yeah and they were just like
nope now it's just electricity what are you doing Benjamin Franklin it was Thomas Edison
yeah Benjamin Franklin was a couple hundred years earlier okay mm hundred 50 years earlier
maybe an art got struck by lightning and kite right so he did some
something with electricity. He like understood electricity
by that, right? I'm not sure. Bass,
you looking that up? Benjofocles.
He's big bifocles. Benjamin Franklin did something with
electricity. He like... Benjamin Franklin is one of the
great inventions. He's got like more patents than
anyone else. Yeah.
Something with electricity. He's like, oh shit.
He loves going to Paris. French women.
He did love going on Paris. Spent a lot of time there.
Big fan of that.
Wait, the kite thing isn't
the kite is...
Is that related to the electricity situation?
Yeah, dude.
You guys try to make me feel like I was a dumbass.
Wait, wait.
Wait, wait. Now I'm confused on who held the kite?
I think that was Ben Franklin.
Okay.
But I don't think that he then was like, I don't think he harness a light bulb.
I think he like realized what it was, right?
Like he's like, this is a thing that could send a force through this kite and obviously it's got some sort of energy to work.
This is great.
I googled Ben Franklin electricity and just says Ben Franklin did not discover electricity.
But there's more.
It says that July, he published an idea for an experiment using a lightning rod to try and catch an electrical charge in a laden jar, a storage container for electrical charges, thus demonstrating that lightning was a form of electricity.
Okay.
He was on the case.
Okay.
But I don't think he saw it.
A father of electricity.
Sure.
Well, I mean, no, it's a, it's a tough question to answer.
I mean, there's a million of them.
There's spaceships.
There's satellites.
Also, like, modern medicine is pretty great.
Modern medicine's insane.
Right.
Vaccines.
Medicine's nuts.
Yeah, the whole world would have been wiped out back in, you know,
before the Rangers won't a Stanley cut,
when the Rangers were when Stan comes,
polio and all this stuff.
Right.
We got rid of it all.
Yeah, you have to have some bad shit back in like those,
the plague.
The plague.
Do we just have,
like,
do we just have medicine that doesn't allow,
like that just killed the plague now?
I think it's soap and water,
they always say, right?
Wasn't the plague trying to make a comeback?
It literally was like soap and water.
If they had soap and water,
like readily use the way we do now,
the plague is lessened.
I don't know if that's true,
but I've heard that.
Diarrhea killed people.
That's like, is that like dysentery?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, medicine's great.
That'd be a shitty way to go.
You asked a pretty good question where you're like, how come things just continuously get better?
And then you also said something that blew my mind where I was thinking about it.
I was on a role that day.
I was thinking about it last night laying in bed.
Oh boy.
I didn't have my hand on anything.
Okay.
So I wasn't thinking about you.
But you said something like what, like, what about the human brain doesn't allow, like if we,
we have the same if we have the brain to be able to think of the internet in the year 1990 whatever
1980 whenever the internet came around why couldn't someone in like the 1700s have that same
thought i was what i was saying is that and like just think of that they talk about that they talk
about the roman empire right like the roman empire is like this great civilization there's all these
advancements like is our brain so different that they weren't able to like have the conception
of the internet or like a computer chip that we just have now a couple hundred years later i don't
know the answer to that. Or do you need all the advancements leading up to that?
You definitely need all the advancements leading up to it. But here's the super interesting part, right?
It's like, I think if it weren't for a couple like shitty emperors basically, like combatus, who's Marcus Aurelius's like son, there's a chance that we would have had all the shit that we have now like 1800 years ago.
Because Rome was like right there. Do people talk about that?
They were right there. And then pretty much after like Roman civilization got completely demolished.
It was just a lot of like middle ages basically for a while, like medieval times.
for a few hundred years after that in my history of that part's like a little bit hazy but it was like
the roman empire like right around you know zero for a couple hundred years after that was just
rocketing up with like art and science and innovation and all kinds of aqueduct like all this stuff
and then just basically got wiped out because they had some dog shit emperors and it and rome went
from marcus arilius was one of the first that he was fully set on his
son communist being the emperor of rome based on like him being the heir whereas all the way up to
that point it had been mostly based on merit right there were five roman empires in a row that weren't
air based it was all it wasn't like my son is the air so he's going to take over it was like
this is the best guy for the job and those were the glory years when it was like they kept fucking
nail on it and like mark they're all considered from those part considered like great emperors that
fostered all this incredible that creativity and you could you afforded people the opportunity to like
have a life and a career in like innovation and invention and that was is what leads to this shit
somebody needs to sit around and think about this stuff and not just crank numbers like your buddy
rob and then for fucking 1800 years there's like nothing and then obviously you have kind of like
the renaissance and you have the industrial age and stuff starts to like come back and now right we took
like a 1500 year hiatus we could have maybe then like did the industrial
revolution in the year 300 or something.
Imagine the 1800 years from now what civilization is going to look like.
That's what we could have been living in without those shitty emperors.
But I don't know like it's a good question.
What is like the what would be considered the biggest difference maker?
Right.
Like is it gunpowder?
Is it like right?
What is the and I know there's certain there are certain moments where the scales just
tipped right?
Like when they just started making basically like metal ships instead of wooden ships.
It was like England went from the greatest naval power for centuries to just all of their ships were completely useless instantly.
Because somebody just had one giant metal battleship.
It was like, it's over.
And so that, like, what was that for like, you're saying?
The chip, like the, you know, how do we go from they're running around on horse and buggy to like we've got cars and planes and we're fucking shooting missiles at you and creepy.
I know what it was.
Aliens.
Could have been aliens.
They brought us.
Right.
They brought us alien.
That's,
that's a theory
where aliens just like,
what are you saying?
Drop some shit off.
What do you mean they dropped some shit off?
Who dropped?
They just dropped off a little something.
You know what?
It feels like we did skip steps.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Fucking Al Gore all of a sudden just came up with the internet.
It's like,
what the hell is that?
What does I even mean?
Out of what?
Right.
Like at one point we're rubbing six together.
The own invention, is it not?
Like,
it's,
it didn't come from anything.
It just was like thought of.
No,
no.
The internet came from like dial up or some shit.
The internet came from like military grade and like NSA and that type of stuff.
Having basically connections where they could communicate.
But that was just like among high level.
It's almost like when Facebook was originally just like Harvard and like Ivy League schools.
And then eventually they, you know,
people kind of were like,
wait a second this whole the fact that we've created this super high-end network where we can
communicate with people like imagine if that was just more broad and then they went against like
military invented an easier way for them to communicate like they just like they don't know if it was
exactly military but yeah I think they were doing it like the 60s and 70s they basically were
using the internet but it wasn't you know what I'm saying messages wasn't like they just went to fucking
porn hub dot com and jerked right it was like they were like the computers like filled rooms
not safe for work we've got we got three laptops in here
No problem.
Reddit, man.
Wow.
No, it's interesting.
I don't know which, like, if it was,
but it was something like that where they were on the internet,
their version of the internet like 50 years ago.
People might think we're fucking,
I mean, you guys were very good, by the way,
with that history of the Roman Empire.
That was pretty startling, if you're being honest.
I like Roman history.
It's amazing.
Yeah.
I mean, I love Roman history.
I think a lot of people listen to this
have the same questions than they're afraid to ask them.
No, yeah, I think they're good questions.
I really do.
I'm always,
I always find,
there to be an interesting disconnect in my brain between people now being like sophisticated
and intelligent and like, you know, having, having pretty high level conversations and emotions.
And for whatever reason, I view people from like 2,000 years ago as just pretty one dimensional.
Yeah.
And that's just not the case.
No.
They were identical, if not more intellectually in tune.
And they could look at the stars and tell where to go because they didn't have GPS.
And they, like, they were probably more impressive.
And they were politicking and they were conniving and there was like fake news and there was propaganda and they were doing everything.
Right.
Two thousand years ago for whatever reason I think like they even have a fucking phone.
What a bunch of idiots.
Yeah, but there's still like there's political leanings.
There's like like, yeah, like you said, propaganda.
There's all that shit.
It's been that way forever.
There's like they walk by hot chicks.
It'd be like, wow.
Awesome.
Like that's just the same shit.
Two thousand years ago.
very strange to think about it's crazy to think about do you think um do you think like um intelligence
is the same argument like we can make the same argument about intelligence as we did the other day
with athleticism where you said do you think connor mac david is the best hockey players ever lived
right now because of like how fast and how good he is like he's clearly just like more skilled
than anyone that's ever been do you think like we now have the smartest person that's ever
lived or is that not fair because they have more access?
Great question. I, I would think that like, you know, the Elon Musks of the world and stuff
are, I guess it's how you define smartest, but.
But then you think about like Einstein. Yeah.
Their relativity. Or even like someone from fucking Renaissance.
Da Vinci is a good one.
Devonci's incredible. His notebooks do that they go through. He didn't have the internet to be
able to say like, I want to fucking make a spaceship. Like, but for what he had was he more
impressive.
No, I don't, like, wrote his notebooks.
I was reading this book.
It's by, I think it's like Walter Isaacson maybe, who's the guy that did the biography on Steve Jobs and a bunch of others.
And I didn't want, I haven't listened to the whole thing.
I listened, read, listen, whatever you guys want to say.
Who is this on Da Vinci?
100 pages on Da Vinci.
And they basically go through his notebooks.
He kept like an unbelievable amount of notebooks.
So it's like the Tom Hanks movie?
And his writings in there.
I haven't seen Tom Hanks movie.
But like the shit that he's.
he would just contemplate on a daily basis was fucking unbelievable.
Like he would jump from,
you know,
how do you fit like a triangle inside of a fucking circle and basically stumbling upon like calculus?
To then he'd be like,
how come a butterfly's wings allow it to fly?
But like turkeys doesn't allow it to fly in the same way.
And literally would like then go find butterflies and turkeys and like dissect them.
Be like, how the fuck?
And then be like,
why can't we fly?
Like how come?
If they're flying, we could fly.
Like, he literally would, this one he did all day every day.
Right.
He's like, he's Googling things, but he's got to actually do it.
That's right.
It's exactly right.
It would take them years to get what we could just be like, oh, how come a butterfly can fly
like easier and done?
You've seen the Tom Hanks movie, Da Vinci Code.
Oh, yeah.
He had hair and it was weird.
Yeah, he did.
He was his hair, but he had a weird hair in it.
It was like long.
Slick back long hair.
It was long.
I read the DaVich code.
So did I.
Probably my favorite book I've ever read.
That was one of the first books I read where,
I was like, books are fucking awesome.
Yeah.
Because it's a really good book.
And then that guy, Dan Brown, I will say his, the other one, which is the, oh, the other one with Robert Langdon.
Yeah.
Where he's got a couple more.
It's really good too.
But then I started to read like he's got deception point, which is a really good one.
But he starts to kind of run the playbook back a little bit.
Right.
Where you're like the big surprise at the end, you kind of can guess it pretty early on.
Yeah.
Really, really good books though because they're all based in like pretty real.
stuff, intellectual, knowledgeable
stuff, but with these crazy
he, that guy's amazing. I agree with you.
I read DaVinci code. I was like, holy fuck.
Do you label DaVinci as a philosopher?
He's known as a mathematician, a philosopher, a scientist.
Do we have those anymore?
Like Renaissance men?
Yeah.
I think you're just considered like unemployed if you're a philosopher.
Right, but like, yeah.
You're just on Twitter.
We saw that guy down the street of Myrtle Beach.
He's just like pointing at us.
Do you, you don't think that like,
because I think like if anyone's inventing something,
they're working for a specific cause or company at this point.
Do you have like individual inventors anymore?
Like do we have a listener or a foreplay that's like an inventor?
He's just thinking he's like out on the beach just being like how can we make things better and like I'm going to come up with this?
Yeah, but the problem is that they're probably so market driven now to like because there's like I think I feel like that's and I'm just I have no idea.
I feel like that's so based on getting a patent for something that then will make you like rich.
Right.
That's what I mean.
I think it's so connected to something as opposed to it.
was so natural back in those days where it's like let's just figure out solutions to things.
You know what I mean?
Yeah. Yeah.
Like Da Vinci was just trying to think of like how the world works.
He wasn't like working for like GE.
Right.
I think Benjamin,
I think this is right.
I think Benjamin Franklin was famous for not patenting his things or what was it?
He would like keep them open for that everyone could do it.
So it was like an investment.
Elon Musk is like a Da Vinci of our time.
Is he?
Yeah.
Yes.
He's in everything.
He dabbles and everything.
Right.
That's, yeah.
So there's definitely it is.
I think that's right.
But it'd be crazy to think if like DaVinci lived now or Einstein lived now.
They'd be the CEO of a company.
Would they be right?
Like would, would Tesla, would we instead have like, would we have flying like self-driving planes now that everybody just train car or plane car?
Right.
So you just throw like a smart brain into this world.
I'd love to ask that to Elon Musk.
Like what does he think like a guy like DaVinci would do in his?
time with his money and his access.
What was Einstein? Was Einstein a professor?
He was like making the bomb and shit, right?
I guess he probably wasn't. No, he was all theory of relativity or maybe was he nuclear?
Well, he made the atom bomb. Did he not?
He split the atom?
Well, who split the atom?
Well, that's, they're coming out with the movie.
Manhattan Project.
Oppenheimer made the bomb, but I think Einstein helped.
He helped the Germans, I'm pretty sure.
I think he was a part of it.
Yeah, Einstein.
99% sure.
Man, hadn't you had a project
are crazy, crazy thing.
You got that?
You know there were like soldiers that signed up
to be like, I'll go stand
under there and see what happens.
Okay, so his equation
helped them build the atomic bomb.
Okay, E equals
MC squared. I don't know what the fuck that means, but it is
what it is.
I don't know.
Combustion, what?
Talk about sport clips.
You want talking about it?
Sport Clips?
Yeah, let's do that.
How long has it been since your last haircut?
I actually got one recently at Sport Clips, and I got a lot of compliments on it.
People thought it was nice and high and tight.
It might be growing out by this point.
But in Denver, everyone was like, yeah, I like it a little shorter on the sides on you.
So I went to Sport Clips, and they just knew what they were doing.
They've just developed a, this is our friend at Sport Clips.
They've just developed a brand new, super relaxing signature scent on their perfectly steamed hot towel.
It's been formulated specifically to bring the relaxation of the MVP haircut experience.
up to another level.
It's something that you have to smell, to believe.
Make sure you go in and make sure that you ask your stylist for the MVP experience.
Not only will you get to try the new scent,
but you'll get the seven-point massaging shampoo as well.
Smell like an MVP and get yourself an excellent haircut by the pros in men's hair that sport clips.
They're the pros in men's hair.
This podcast is about as far as we've gone off the beaten path, which I like.
But I also think we've kept it pretty concise and there's been some good different.
information. Probably closer to good information than usual. Yeah. Usually it's just like this podcast right now. Yes. Yeah. Like we've we've really gone out there, which we do a lot of the time, but this one has felt like there's been some actual. It's the off season. I mean, Liv has happened. DJ had an amazing public. We could talk about that. But like I love finding these things out. Someone asked me the other day, do you remember everything about high school or middle school? And I said, I honestly think that I learn more interesting facts from this podcast, just bringing up weird shit and
having you guys discuss it and then Jake Jake like Googles it.
Yeah, I mean, I learn more stuff about that than.
Because you're engaged in it.
Like you actually want to know.
School you're like, I don't necessarily want to know these things.
You probably shouldn't.
They are interesting, but it's fed to you in a way that's not interesting.
This is an interesting way.
And there's facts that I actually care about like out of left field.
They used to be a Frankie fact.
Oh, it's at a left field.
Psychiatric hospital behind the left field wall at the Chicago Cubs Stadium.
Bang.
What a fact.
That's a really good one.
Brides having bouquets because they didn't.
didn't fucking shower and they needed to mask the smell
walking down the aisle as they were about to get married
bang it's a bouquet it's fucking nuts
that's good stuff you know that's good stuff
what was another one that was really good from
frankie facts I'll think of one
it's also nuts in the roman times they were just all
like arranged marriages
well that's happening in Game of Throat in the House of the Dragon
I know you haven't watched it but it made me think of it it's like
it's like the people that were certain
you watch episode two I'll run out of the show
you watch episode two yeah so
the king deciding on who he wants to marry, right?
It's either a 12 year old or the 15 year old.
And it's like, that's like a weird fucking time, man.
Like, it's fucking weird that.
To be clear, Game of Thrones is not based in any sort of time.
No, but they do.
Dude.
Yeah, but you know what?
And that in that post show like credits thing that they do, the after show, they talk about
like in that time.
Like, they say that all the time.
Like back in those days.
Who says that?
that bro like the directors and the editors and the producers will be like back in those days when they
had like night fights and like and they were um jousting jousting like then they talk about the jousting error
and stuff you know what i mean they do keep it to it feels like the parameters are of a certain
time yeah right like yes they mention some magic that's not real but like people don't right like
somebody doesn't bust out like a fucking computer i don't know right like they keep it clearly
Nobody's going to, like, storm Westrose with a machine gun.
Although in this last episode, I'm going to spoil one thing for you.
They had a pug in one of the, like, women's hands.
And that, I was like, what the fuck?
It's like a, that's a more common dog, right?
It was like, I was stunned to see a little pug sitting on a lady's lap.
That's a fair point.
A pug does like, if you see a husky in that show, you'd be like, that's fine.
The pug was just sitting there just like in the ladies lap.
I'm like, what's that pug doing?
You know what I mean?
That is true.
A pug feels like a civilized society.
Pug's name was like Robert.
He's just like, I don't know why.
He's got like a, it's like an awkward.
What do you look like sweater on?
Yeah.
Pugs are an ancient breed of dog with roots dating back to 400 B.
What?
400 Brees.
The first of the stories of great breed originated in China where they were bred as companion
animals were wealthy.
I would have said that Pugs only been around for 40 years.
I know.
They just look like an animal that's been like squished together with multiple different pieces.
Squished together.
Yeah, yeah, I agree with that.
When do you guys.
think J.R. Tolkien died.
So this is from the Lord of the Rings.
Lord of the Rings. Wow.
When did he die? I mean, I know he's dead because Elon Musk said that he's turning in his
grave right now. Is that new show any good?
Elon Musk said that Tolkien is turning in his grave.
I don't know. That's why I, because I looked it up. A lot of people like it, I think.
Dude, I have, I have no way. When did he write Lord of the Rings? I'm going to say he died in
1942.
I was going to say 1910.
Excuse me.
Jesus Christ.
What the hell was that noise?
When did he die?
19703, I think it was.
Which you guys are pretty close.
I'll be honest.
Will you pitch it?
I thought you were going to say 1715.
I guess I,
yeah,
the reason that I asked is because when I looked it up,
I didn't know if I was going to get like the year 900 or if I was going to get the year.
What was the year again,
by the way, Tolkien?
I think it was 19.
You know who else died in 1973?
Pablo Picasso.
Wow.
What a year.
What else happened in 19703?
Pablo Picasso could have drank a mountain dew.
Maybe we can do that as a segment.
What happened?
Is that Richard Nixon?
Did he resign in 73?
Whoa.
Is that one?
Around there, yeah?
Is that when he just said peace and just left?
He did this guy?
Yeah.
Then he got the helicopter.
Who tells that joke?
Is it fucking Bill Burr where he's like, the president just said bye and got in a helicopter
turn left. No, it's uh, it's Louis CK. Oh, Louis CK. Yeah. He's like, the president just said,
and he just flew away. He just flew away. Uh, what happened in 1973? I bet you, Google gives you,
just a bullet point of what happened. But like Riggs is saying, and I know we were talking about
the Roman Empire, but if you Google what happened in 1973 and start to get the context around the
things that we're going on with like the presidency and the government and Vietnam and like, it's,
There's always been things happening.
Ready for this?
1973, major news and events.
United States ends its involvement in the Vietnam War.
There you go.
Signed the Paris Peace Awards.
It's a big one.
Accords.
Secretariat becomes the first horse since citation in 1948 to win the triple crown.
So now, think about the future that we're living in, people now say before it happened again, they were like, secretary was the last one to win the triple crown.
Supreme Court rules on Roe v. Wade.
That's a big topic.
A little too topical.
That is too topical.
I'm just saying it happened in 1973.
Cold War, UK.
Oh, the Cod War, UK and Iceland.
And then, yeah, that's about it.
The Cod War?
The Cod War, UK and Iceland.
Also, like, that L and cold and cod, boy, it's important.
It is huge.
Alaska oil pipeline bill is passed to allow construction of a pipeline to access oil from
north slope of Alaska.
But don't you think it's interesting?
And I keep going back to what Riggs said, where you can go back to
to any time and things are like it's it's so layered and nuanced.
I find that very interesting.
I agree.
Because you could just make up a date a year in your head and Google it or find a book
or somebody's written about it and you can just learn all about it.
Here we go.
1979.
Pink Floyd released the wall.
There you go.
You know?
Snowboards were invented.
We didn't have snowboards on television.
It seems like we were way behind you.
Sony released the Walkman.
Wow.
USSR invades Afghanistan.
Yep.
Okay.
You know, not that much happened in 1979.
You know?
That's just that list.
Right.
That's not the end all.
It could be like some super biased guy who made that list.
It's like,
hmm.
Yeah, we'll just keep doing that from time of time.
Just checking in on years.
Yeah.
Send us it like send us a year.
and we'll talk about it on the show.
I like that.
Yeah.
What do you think would be up to this point is like the craziest year?
Wow.
That you've been alive.
2020.
Oh my God, it had to be 2020, dude.
I think so, too.
Pandemic, the election.
It was a fucking nightmare.
I don't think I don't think that's recent C bias either.
No.
I think a hundred years ago.
We were in that shit,
done.
I think that's right.
Dude,
the world shut down for like months.
I remember, like, I say this all the time with this podcast.
They're like the first week of COVID.
I'm like, I kind of like how things are getting.
weird right now.
Yeah.
Working.
Monumental.
We talked about it.
The basketball games were getting canceled.
People were walking off the courts.
I'm like,
something's happening.
We're living in a time.
Oh yeah.
And then fuck.
It's still like things are still like things are still like things change.
Kobe died right?
It was like right after that.
That was like January 2020.
Wow.
2020 was weird man.
Yeah.
2020 was a hell of,
all right.
That notwithstanding.
I don't know what the answer would be though.
Yeah.
2001 was obviously crazy huge shift I was just so young then I was too I'm 13th
2009 I still feels young like the housing market crashing oh oh wait that didn't affect us
that no in college like I didn't have a house a lot everyone lost their money yeah 20 20 is their
money I think the answer is 20 20 has to be I mean I don't even think it's cool I mean it's not
I don't know that it'll get topped ever ever in our lifetimes global pandemic like
Yeah, hopefully it doesn't.
It can't.
Can you even imagine.
It's unimaginable that the Open Championship didn't even happen, that March Madness didn't even happen.
Like, NHL and it all got postponed.
I lived before I moved my new apartment.
I lived on 2nd Avenue.
My apartment looks down on 2nd Avenue.
Busy street.
It's a street in Manhattan.
But during that, it would be a Tuesday at 2 p.m.,
and there's nobody out there.
Oh my
fucking crazy dude
That's unbelievable
Nobody not a soul
And if they go out there
People would be like
What are you doing out there
Dude we were doing these podcasts remote
I remember we'd be like Trent
Get up and go look out your window
You need to see some sunlight
Because you just would be in there
Yeah I stayed in Manhattan the whole time
It was crazy
You just ordered
Were you allowed to just order food?
That was the one thing
Curriers were still like food
Ripping around on their bikes
Yeah
But they would
They would have to leave it outside
And you couldn't
never see them.
That's some shit we'll tell our kids about.
Absolutely.
2020 was a year, man.
Absolutely.
If I type in a random ass year like 1695,
to me,
like nothing happened in that year.
But I guess it's all relative that like,
like I don't like,
to me like governments overthrown that year.
Like no like did the world like,
is this a historic event that William Congreys
Restoration Comedy,
Love for Love premiered in London?
Like that like is that like a,
it must be a huge thing.
thing in like the arts but like that was in 16 something yeah you guess you just don't know you don't
know the characters right right i mean here's english and dutch fleet captured dunkirk see
brief i mean things were happening yeah things were fucking happening king william the third
escaped south netherlands back to england october 10th that had to be huge people like he's back
yeah holy i mean he's clearly like taken hostage or something it must have been a crazy time
in London.
And there were people...
They got our guy.
How about this one?
A window tax is imposed in England,
causing many shopkeepers to brick up their windows to avoid the tax.
Dude, people trying to avoid taxes, fucking 400 years ago.
And like,
what's, like,
then like,
what's the reasoning behind that?
Yeah, man.
Huge debate leading up to that.
And then somebody was probably super unpopular.
That's like,
I'm going to tax windows.
You know what I'm seeing all over this fucking city right now?
Windows.
Windows.
I'm going to tax those things.
They started to tax tea in this very nation and things changed a lot.
Didn't go great for them.
Yeah, there's just stuff happening every year.
It sounds so stupid to say because I've now said it twice and I sound so stupid when I say it, but it's true.
It's like, things are just always happening.
No year is it like, yeah, everybody just kind of chilled that year.
Right.
That doesn't happen.
Right.
People get kidnapped, assassinated, taxed people.
Yeah.
There's not gay what I don't happen.
There's not.
There's not an hour where that doesn't happen.
It's too many people now.
It all led to this, us talking about this other podcast, you know?
Right.

4. You know, I think a lot about
like,
how would you just get a job in like
the 1600s?
You know? Like you just have to...
I think it's all class you were born into, right?
Yes, yeah. You couldn't just walk in
and be like, you couldn't email
somebody. You couldn't look up jobs online.
You should have like walk up to somebody who was working.
And be like, can I work?
Life sucks back then.
Yeah. Sucked.
And that's a bullshit thing to be able to say now in the year 2022 because we have all these things and we love all this stuff.
I guess they loved all the stuff they had.
Looking back, it's like, man, you guys had nothing.
What, like, let me ask this in like 1625 or whatever fucking what's his face thing to premiere in London.
Mm-hmm.
You work all week, one of your Friday.
Saturday morning, you wake up, like, what are you doing?
What's like your awesome Saturday you've been waiting for all week?
go see a horse race
yeah
go to the pub
you go to the saloon
but it's crazy
I get the saloon
of the pub they don't have
college football
they got nothing
there's just seeing the boys
probably playing
some sort of gambling game
I would assume
yeah right
like a form of dice
or cards or something like that
some sort of social activity
a festival
it's funny to think
that you're just going out
boozing with the boys again
when you watch like
peeky blinders
like their lives only consist
in like the era
that they're trying to pick
their lives only consist of like
staying alive and staying wealthy.
It's like you wake up and you just do that.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
There's no.
And like when they have fun,
it's like they drink,
they throw fucking glasses against the back of the bar.
They fucking beat somebody up.
And then that's it.
Like that was all those guys did.
All day.
All day.
It went to a boxing match.
I'm turning.
Horse races and boxing matches.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Those like old school sports has got to be.
Yeah.
Like theater or plays and it must have been awesome going to a play you've been waiting to see right you get geared up
You jump in the fucking carriage and you shed into town for the night crazy maybe you sneak a roadie under the carriage you know right like as awesome and readily available as things are now
I would imagine they aren't as satisfying as like like you're saying rigs like you wait you save up and you get to go to a play now I wake up
I got half a boner
and I can turn on Game of Thrones
You think they had boners back then?
Probably I think boners
are pretty exclusively
We wouldn't be here
If they didn't have bono thing
Right
And yeah we're out of play
I'm like looking at my phone
Half the time in the play
Right
Looking for other entertainment
You know
You think penises look different back then?
I think penises have been pretty standard
Because boobs have changed shape
Over the years
Is that right?
A lot of them are fake now
Big boobies
Yeah
But you see like the old
I mean I don't know if it was like
The things that they were wearing
but they were like, you know, the pointier ones.
I don't know.
I don't know.
You know what's crazy.
We can go back to that if you.
You know what's crazy is that even with all the stuff that we have now,
the plays that I have gone to are amazing.
They're amazing.
Well, yeah, you're going to a 2020 version of a play.
Like that stuff's, that's mind-blowing.
I don't know that it's that.
But I, so you're thinking of the Harry Potter one.
But I've been to like the Book of Mormon.
There's not, they don't do the magic.
Like during that I went to school,
rock they don't do the magic. It's still cool to see a live performance like that when you would
imagine like when you have like HD 4K TVs that show incredible action movies there's still wouldn't be
an appreciation for a play but you go and it's amazing. Oh there's always going to be appreciation for
live talent. I think there's something like something part of human nature that loves a live performance.
You see right through the bullshit. That's why we know as humans that things are edited and they're
they're you know packaged up to make us want to like it. And then when you see the
real raw thing. It's even that much more impressive.
And it's worth the extra money for the ticket.
And there's stakes, right? Like, they could forget their lines.
That's like half the reason for going.
It's like, are they going to put out a good performance?
Are they going to buckle?
It's like seeing an athlete. Like, are they going to do it?
Right. Do they have like stand up comedy?
When did they first start having like standup comedy?
I think that was. There's always been orators, I would imagine.
Yeah. But also like the like Shakespeare plays were like comedic, right?
Yeah. That was a form of comedy. Yeah, true.
They'd probably call monologues.
What are you laughing at?
Different type of penile?
Has the shape changed at all or no?
Bass is looking up dicks.
Really?
So the tips have gotten smaller.
They used to have huge tips on their dicks?
With evolution.
It's the history of the penis.
Some people's tips were what?
They had no hole.
They had no hole?
Oh, yeah.
Uncircumcised.
That's still a thing I think, right?
What?
That's got to be pretty recent.
What?
Wouldn't that like old school?
Like,
6,000 BC.
Bro, I was just saying,
it's like old school like Israel stuff, right?
It's not that reason, though.
I would have thought like,
they've been snipping those things for years.
I would have thought a circumcision was a thing of like,
where it's like,
it's not totally necessary.
So things that aren't totally necessary,
I think only happened in society that has excess.
personally
Provalactic certain situation
but for religious purposes
What does provalactic mean again?
Interesting.
When do you think King Tut
Come on.
When do you think King Tut reigned?
Oh my God, dude.
Come on, man.
I don't know that I don't know that air at all.
I genuinely don't know
and I don't want to say
Wow.
BC, right?
obviously.
BC.
Yeah.
You narrowed it down.
I'm going to say fucking, wow, King Tut.
I'm going to say...
Actually, more recent than I would have guessed.
Well, I was going to say, 1,200 BC.
Trent Ryan.
I don't want to guess.
You're actually pretty fucking close.
1332 BCE to 1323 BC.
King Tut.
Didn't they find his body?
King Tut's got a sick.
Look at that fucking thing.
Yeah, that's the famous one.
Unbelievable.
This guy.
Kid.
I think he was a good kid, wasn't he?
Just a lot that people can learn.
Yeah, man.
Yeah, a lot.
I learned that Dustin Johnson
hit a put on Twitter yesterday.
Didn't even watch it.
I saw that too.
It looked like it was pretty good putt.
Everyone was excited afterwards,
even the players at lost.
That was pretty funny.
That feels like a hostage.
I don't know if they were,
they were happy because they all,
everyone was just getting paid.
I did notice that was one.
of my big takeaways to you that you made a great point of like everyone's happy like DJ made the
put and the two guys that he defeated with that put were both the two happiest guys there were laughing
and hugging him like on the PJ tour yes they shake his hand but like they're not like smiling
when that goes in it's hat off like turn around look at your caddy kind of just be like all right
good job like you give him like a fist bump and then you go and give the handshake and you get out of
there I would chalk that up as a negative for live right yes because it's
For the viewership, yes.
The moment is a definitely a win.
I'm saying that little niche part of the moment.
Right.
Because you want, I mean, as a viewer, you want devastation.
Yeah.
Devastation.
Not like I'm going to go surf on my.
I have just life-changing opportunity to win this fucking PGA tour event or live tour event that gets me all this status where I've dreamt about my whole life.
Yeah.
And this guy just ripped it out with a punt that was going 15 feet past since a bag of hole goes in.
You got to be fucking kidding me.
And instead they're like, ha, ha, I just made millions.
Problem is that there's no stakes at all for watching.
You take that out of sports, sports becomes unwatchable.
So I think they're going to struggle with that until they get to that point.
Now, I think it's going to be a really long, weird, awkward period where they're never going to have stakes until something, or if it continuously drastically changes, right?
Like they keep getting the best players and somehow they have to create stakes.
I don't know how they're going to do it.
If I was in charge of that, I don't know how I would do it.
Right, because at a certain point, the tax.
talent creates the stakes, right?
Because he got Rory and Justin Thomas, they are undoubtedly two of the best golfers in the
world.
So seeing them go toe to toe, those are the stakes because you're trying to figure out who's
better.
But what are the stakes, though?
The stakes are their legacy.
It's history, right?
Their legacy is compared, right?
Like Rory racking up wins gets him closer to Phil's number of wins and Tiger's
number of wins.
And you can like a PGA tour win is added to his tally and that is added to his legacy.
and you can you can sense all that without knowing all the details in real time.
So consciously we think that way, right?
Like when I'm watching golf,
I'm thinking I want this guy to win because of that because I don't care much money they win.
Couldn't care.
Why do I give a fuck if Rory wins or JT?
There's nothing to do with like the amount of money.
No,
right now Liv is like pushing like these guys are going to win so much money by winning these things and like,
we don't care about that.
Right, we don't see a dime.
No.
I always have that argument with sport teams.
like team sports where it's like
oh I don't want my owner to be spending all this money
like in baseball and shit
it's not your fucking who cares
oh you sign an judge for 400 million dollars
that's such a bad deal we're talking about
why do you care?
The only doesn't come out of your pocket
what's a difference between that and 300
the only argument against that is it
takes up money of a move that you could potentially want to happen
they're like we got judge for a million in a cup
yeah in like a cap space
but when there's like no cap space
why do I give a fuck that's just another thing
I've always yeah no I
agree with what you're saying about live it's like there's just a lot of money for everybody and
i don't know how they're going to get to the stakes thing i don't know because i i do think the more
i watch clips from it it's like it's all meaning like there's nothing it's basically a play
like they're selling that like they're going to come to these cities and you can come watch golfers
and you can see dj hit this put and it's an amazing athletic performance like that's like kind of
what they're selling right now like it's a good viewing results drip
It's a good viewing experience of sport.
They're like, it's going to be fast.
It's going to be 54 holes.
It's going to be shotgun stars.
You're going to see guys on all different holes.
You're talking to me about like a viewing experience as if I'm out of play.
Right.
You're not talking to me a bit about like competition.
Competition and history and all that stuff.
So I have no idea how they're going to do it.
I do think that if I was in charge of that and trying to figure it out, my only option would be to have its own little rider cup between the PGA tour and
that's where it becomes real
Jay Monaghan would never
he would never but boy would that be fucking real
and I've talked about this we put the clips out
everyone agreed that like
that is just
that's life and death
those guys imagine dude
right but I know of course
but the PJ tour has the stakes
without having to do that 100% is never going to happen
but a fairy tale dream of it
imagine that 18th hole like Rory versus
fucking DJ coming down for like who's gonna win
I think the live gets done
I think Liv gets dummied, though.
They don't have the talent.
Probably.
And it's getting pretty.
They have like 12 at the last 22 major win.
Yeah, but what about like top 20?
I know.
Yeah, look, it was a big moment for Liv.
It was great.
It was as good as they could hope for right now.
Because it was a clip.
It's the first one we've seen.
It's a clip to clip.
It's the only shot I saw.
It's a clip.
They finally had a clip.
The crowd looked good.
I didn't even know they were playing.
Like that's,
I just don't, it's just not,
hasn't entered that level where it's like,
oh, they're playing.
I agree with that.
And it wasn't.
knew it because you saw that awkward ass party they had at Boston that went viral did you see that
yeah but that i don't even i don't even think about that as being like i've seen you know pat
peres on the plane and i've seen these party clips but it's still in my head doesn't click like oh that
they're doing that because they're playing that i like to me live could just be having parties
that that yeah if i'm a part of that i'm saying i don't want to be a part of those parties anymore
you can't that is so fucking embarrassing those parties are so embarrassing and look i saw a few tweets came in
yesterday on Sunday that we're like, oh, you guys are awfully quiet about this. And there's plenty of
of PJ tour events I've been dead quiet about too because I just don't really care of that much.
And it wasn't a conscious effort not to watch. It was like, I just didn't, like, it wasn't even on my
radar. It just wasn't on my radar that was happening. I didn't really care of that much.
I saw a few people that I'm that I know from the Boston area who were at the event or posting stuff like a
Instagram story or something. And I was like, I get that to be out there. Like go check it out.
Sure. I get it. I don't have like, I'm not like, I hate that person for doing that.
It just wasn't really on my radar.
Did it look fun from like a viewer standpoint?
Like, did it look like a PGA tour event from watching their Instagram stories?
It looked all right.
Yeah.
You know?
It looks a little.
Now, they cap it, right?
They cap the amount of people that can go in.
Is that what Danny was saying?
I don't know.
I think they're begging the end people to go in.
I thought he said like they cap.
Maybe they cap it.
Like 45 people only.
Right.
That's what they're saying now.
45 people show up there like only 45.
We're going to have to ask Danny when he comes back because he snuck that in the other day as like a positive.
for the players like they cap the
I think you was talking about
the 48
the 48
the 14th morning said that about the fans but that wouldn't make
any sense no you want
as many fans as you want yeah that's gotta be wrong
I think they want a billion fans there and they have like five
five yeah and yeah that was a good
scene but I'm at like I was
I was almost taken aback by like I think that was
everyone on property around that green
and like you think it wasn't that many people
yeah but it's a great clip for them
no doubt about it yeah
Dream scenario, the fact that you had
Neiman, DJ,
who was the third that was in the playoff?
Hold on, I wrote it down.
I wrote it down on my cool notes.
Oh, Lahiri.
My guy.
Yeah.
Took a selfie with him a couple weeks ago.
You had Cam Smith right there.
Lee Westwood.
I was texting with Danny throughout
because I wasn't watching it,
but he was kind of texting me like I was
and I was like, I'm just not fucking watching this.
And he was saying that the
chaoticness of having a stroke play event
end via shotgun starts.
Everybody ends at the same time
when it's close is nuts.
And I guess that's a really good point.
So he was saying the last 30 minutes were like crazy
because it wasn't like there was only two groups left on the course
and somebody knew what they had to do to hold on to win.
It was like everyone's playing at the same time.
That's so true.
Which is wild.
Right.
Yeah, that's got to be a bit of a mess.
But chaotic is good.
Sounds like a mess.
Sounds like a mess.
I didn't see any of it.
I saw the DJ putt.
I watched it a bunch of different times.
times I thought it was a cool clip him and his brother
how fired up his brother was that was cool
good for them um we like DJ
DJ's been nothing but nice to us yeah
although the second time we filmed with him I think
he was about as checked out as any persons I've ever
met in my life which is fair
yeah he had just gotten off of like
a vacation four o'clock at night
yeah he was yeah those
those guys do a lot in those
couple days Aaron judge it another home run
what number 54
54 what's he on pace to hit
oh he's got to get
to 62 to have a Yankee record.
What's the last time somebody hit 60 home runs in the MLB?
I don't know.
Stanton didn't get there, obviously, right?
He had like 50 or something.
Did Stanton get to 60 when he was on the Marlins?
No.
This has to be the most, right?
I don't remember 60s and home runs since the 90s.
It's definitely the most Yankees because Roger Maris had 61.
Yeah, Frankie, you're right.
What?
Danny's saying they want fans having a really good experience,
so it's not that crowded.
He said they did cap it at Portland and New Jersey for sure.
They did not disclose what the number was.
I'm pretty sure that they do cap it.
Yeah.
I'm fucking smart.
You're having a good show.
He said it after talking about concession lines.
He's like, you never have to wait on a concession line because they have so many
concession stands and they cap the limit of people that when you walk up, you just get your thing.
But he also said it's a model to make zero money.
that's what he's just saying now he's like next year it starts in earnest they don't give a
fuck about making money right now yeah they're just trying to create this awesome experience
do we have that home run list he had 59 he had 59 in 2017 and then they traded him right
to the yankees the next year Derek jr was the last guy at 60 was it fucking was it bonds
mcguire sosa he had 66 didn't he what no 64 for sosa jesus and then what the all-time record is
70.
73.
The same year,
64,
73.
Those boys were
you ever look up
just hitting home months?
You ever look at
really strong?
I don't know how.
You ever look up Barry Bons
of stats?
Of course.
Baseball reference,
you go,
look at his,
look at his on-base percentage.
It's outrageous.
Bro,
let me talk to you
about some of these years
at Barry Bond.
He had more walks
than-
about Biolite
real quick.
Yeah,
talk to me about
so I fucked up.
I have to apologize
you,
Biolite
because I was supposed
to talk about them
before I talked
about Shopify.
Okay.
But we're going to
talk about biolite because i had some biolite today oh we had a few beers last night in
myrtle beach which impossible not to do it's a great place you having a good time active environment
like we said uh but i was feeling a little you know feeling a little bit down it's hot out
it's muggy a little bit you're getting sucked out you're out you're trying to compete outdoors
have a little biolite today it just refreshes you it brings you back to life it's a physician
formulated recovery drink made with all natural ingredients that will hope you feel better
fast six and a half sports drinks equal one biolite boys
Boys and girls. It's a lot. That's just so many. Six and a half, but all the good stuff.
Some of those other sports drinks you've had before are just trash. They are. Trash for your body.
Bad for you. Listen, biolite when you're on the course, make sure you slip in a couple of biolites next day, next morning.
Make sure you have a couple cold ones ready in the fridge. Get yourself one biolite. It's Ivy in a bottle.
That's what they call it. It's only 45 calories. It contains a third of the amount of sugar.
so you don't have to worry about messing up your carefully crafted dad bod.
True.
It also comes in four flavors.
Citrusberry,
tropical and melon actually tastes great,
unlike most recovery drinks out there.
Trust me,
put a few bottles in your cooler before your next tea time.
You will not suffer the next day.
BioLite is now available to purchase directly on their website.

who every golf trip.
He always says, you know who's going to win this trip?
It's whoever drinks.
the most hydration, which obviously equates to whoever drinks the most biolite.
That's how you're going to win your golf weeks with your pals.
That's how you're going to win your Saturday match, whatever it might be, have the most biolite.

Use the code four play for 10% off your first order.
You got so for me, Frank?
There's 2001.
Really, his whole career is just laughable, but...
2001, 73 home runs, 137 ribbies, 177 walk.
The guy only got up a bat
476 times
He had 156 hits and 177 walks
That's just every time he's getting up
He's doing something he about at 328
He drove it 137 runs hitting 73 home runs
And then the next year
It's like all right this guy just did the most outrageous thing of all time
The next year he followed it up with a 370 batting average
And 46 home runs
It's just like who was this guy
Right
It's just like 0-4 bonds
or is that 03?
04,
232 walks.
Yeah.
On base percentage
609.
609.
OPS of 1.422.
Like he,
yeah.
60% of the time
he's getting on base.
That's crazy.
And baseball.
They're just walking him like crazy.
You had to walk him.
Fuck.
Just really strong.
Just incredibly strong.
His head got bigger for some reason.
Just super.
He's just.
people just kind of forget about him huh not forget but they kind of just
he's not the hall fame it's nuts yeah and you know i mean i get it but people say people
always say like he would have been a hallfamer you know just see he was played for the pirates
if you just take his pirates career i don't i don't care about barry bon's going to
hallfame i don't care what do i care am i going to argue against barry bonz being a baseball
Hall of Fame should be
more of a reflection of the
history of the game as opposed to
you get in, you get out. Barry Bonds is a big
part of it. You got a bunch of cuck reporters
that Derek Jeter
had one guy that didn't vote for him into the
Hall of Fame just to be the one guy. Fuck you.
Was Mariano Rivera the
first unanimous? Yeah, Cheater's how
fucking stupid baseball writers are where
think about how many
elite baseball players there have been
how many have gone
to the Hall of Fame and Mariano Rivera
in whatever year that was, just a couple of years ago,
was the first unanimous.
Because the fucking baseballers,
when Mickey Mail didn't get unanimous,
they think, all right, then Derek Jeter can't be unanimous.
Grow up.
A recent study found that the average golfer walks about 900 miles a year.
Another study found that golfers drink on average 22 gallons of alcohol a year,
which means on average golfers get about 41 miles to the gallon.
Kind of makes you proud.
We feel like a hybrid.
Where did you just read that from?
My dad's ever done it.
Oh.
It's like a sign outside of golf course.
Guess how old King Tut was when he took over?
14.
16.
Nine.
Wow.
They're listening to that piece of shit.
Died when he's 19.
Oh.
Sad.
Man, a little guy, 5, 6.
All that potential.
Little guy.
Jake Bassi has something to say.
I have a no question.
Okay.
When was the calendar invented?
Was he nine in like our 365 day calendar?
Think about how far back.
Are we carbon day?
For people who, I don't, can they hear that?
Okay, they can hear it.
The calendar's been, I mean,
Neil deGrasse Tyson talks about this a lot.
He talked about this on Rogan about like how the calendar is like heavily debated.
But we just go off like the Catholic calendar.
It's just like the way science has been able to do it.
And Rogan actually like pressed them on it being like if you're like scientific and you don't believe in like religion,
how could it all be based off of this?
And he said that like the Catholic calendar got it the most correct to where like the sun rotates around.
and all like the solstices.
So that's just what we go with.
He's like it's just like, yeah, it's correct.
To their knowledge, it's like as close as you can get to what the actual history of the worth is.
Let me ask you this.
Like the Chinese calendar is obviously different.
The year of the tiger.
Right.
Which why we came out with the merch last year.
Which we are this year, which we still sell.
You could buy it stored up Arsenal Sports.com.
It's a great shirt.
The swing progression crew neck coming up.
Do we think about how many people have those?
And like it's about to be fall.
again and winter again.
Right. Yeah, for people who don't know and they probably don't
because we never said it. It's just one of our
most highest selling items ever. Yeah, it's awesome.
And it's been selling in the middle of summer.
When it's really hot everywhere.
Yeah.
They, right, like if you're trying to,
if you're talking as a Chinese person,
you're trying to date like when something happened and you were
like, yeah, that was like July 6th in 2006.
Like, is that, are they just like,
I don't know.
You mean when like one leg into the year of the dragon?
Like what are they?
I guess I don't know how different the Chinese calendar is from.
I don't either.
That would be my.
Because it feels like everyone else in the world is like, yeah, we're just,
we're doing the Catholic thing.
Yeah.
There's no way they're just like, yeah, sure.
They do BC.
Like BC's before Christ and I mean,
they,
I think scientifically they say something else.
But like that's what it's based off of.
It's like,
you know what I mean?
It's crazy.
And there's nuts.
Leap ears and all that.
Yep, 366 days every what, four years?
I believe so, yeah.
Every 29th.
Someone said to, you got any friends born on February 29th?
No.
The Chinese extra month is they have a whole...
So they're just more off on a year-to-year basis than they should make up for it
with a whole month.
Right.
That's why their slack that they create by being wrong is just larger.
How about this one for you guys?
I mean, we've been rambling, right, at this point?
Ready for this?
Yeah, I'm ready.
Honestly, get ready for this.
Okay.
How ready do I need to get for this?
Pretty ready.
The universe contains more planets
than seconds that have passed
since the Big Bang.
That's unfortunate.
No way, dude.
What the fuck?
Who told you that?
It's a fucking meme.
It's a picture.
Who taught you that?
And Marcel put it on Facebook.
Look.
What do they also say that there's more planets than grains of sand?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's a tough one too.
Dude,
I think they say there's more galaxies than grains of sand.
Yeah, yeah.
No, they say there's more galaxies.
The universe contains more planets than seconds that have passed since the Big Bang.
We're talking about King Tut.
And we're talking about, bro, big bang was hundreds of billions of years ago, was it not?
I don't think it was hundreds of billions.
No, I think it was
14 billion
Which is a lot of seconds, dude
Oh yeah
13 billion years I think right
13.6 billion or something like that
Yeah, yeah
Fuck
Yeah dude
This whole thing is a real problem
13.8 billion years ago
Yeah
The universe began as a tiny dense fireball
That exploded
Where the fire come from
Now we're gonna really go off
Yeah exactly
You know
I'll always say
say where to go, where to go, where to go.
And if you just tell me it came from nothing,
I'll, like, poke you in the eye.
It's like my pinky.
But what caused this explosion in the first place is still a mystery.
It's all a fucking simulation, dude.
Come on, boy.
Someone just turned it on.
They started Red Dead Redemption Earth.
And it's just like, we're all in their game, bro.
You know, why wouldn't-
honestly it's as plausible as people-
Why wouldn't we be in someone's computer right now?
Think about all the weird shit that goes on around here.
Like, look out there.
We're looking at the ocean.
that all this shit just doesn't make any sense why doesn't ever glitch it probably does
how probably glitches a lot how nuts is it that there were just that we have this job is a glitch
for hundreds of millions of years there were just giant dinosaurs running around here
i can't talk about it that much that's like that's not even that's not even big bang
theory that just happened their bones are just beneath us we find him all the time i know and
the dude some guy was like in this fucking uh village and the water
had has now they have a drought so this river is now completely drained did you see this yeah and he's just
like look at all these dinosaur tracks like look at these fucking paws on these things and he's like
i've studied dinosaurs my whole life but it's just cool to like look at where their feet were and be
like it's actually not that movie that came out when i was like a 10 year old you know what i mean
yeah it's like these things actually live they're big fucking feet i mean what's what's what's wrong
with the Jurassic Park technology.
How come they can't just do that?
Well, there was like a whole thing recently
that they like kind of are starting to like get it, right?
Really?
Yeah.
I miss that.
If you type in like real Jurassic Park,
I think they like biogenetically made like an animal or something like that.
And it's like this is just how we start.
Give me a fucking T-Rex too while I'm around.
Right.
You just take a little bit of that bone marrow and just stuck in the top of the tree-s out.
I mean, they can make humans now.
We make humans all time with the hard dicks we talked about earlier.
Yeah, I'm saying like in labs and shit.
They like make you, it's all like, where?
Where are they doing that?
Making human beings in labs.
You mean cloning people?
Is they're talking about?
No, they can like, they can like contracept like human beings in like tubes and shit.
Like with eggs and spur.
They can just like do it.
Oh, but they can't like, they still need the eggs in the spur.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
I'm saying like they don't need like a body anymore.
It's like, I mean, I think you need a body.
but like you don't need the body to actually contracept them right they can do it
I would I don't I genuinely don't know but I thought you were saying that they can like take like
a piece of your hair no no no no no and make a Frankie Borrelli but like if you're like bro like
they can like they can see the DNA as they're doing it and like pick certain things have you ever seen
that I've heard about that I don't they can like they can like eliminate like disease by stuff it's
crazy like certain like you can like pick hair clothes
color and
pick the sex of the baby
probably
I don't yeah I don't know
I take the chromosomes that
they put them in
it's fucking nuts
yeah that's pretty crazy
they're doing wild shit
and that we're just not
paying attention to
I don't need to
we don't know the answers
to them so we sound stupid
but it's like there's shit going on
I actually thought we
sounded the most intellectual
on this podcast than we ever at
that's pretty good by ass
you know we're in Myrtle Beach
like I don't know
that Murrow Beach
usually produces these kinds of conversations
no I think it's been a good conversation
well personally
we got Danny coming into this
like a fucking wrecking ball on Wednesday on Thursday show.
He just tweeted out a picture of himself on the plane.
It looks hung over as fuck.
He's just,
you know,
we're just gonna talk a lot of golf with him.
I mean,
like that's just,
and I want to get his take on some of these things.
He's probably,
he's a smart dude.
He's a Northwestern grad.
He's very smart.
Yeah, he's very smart.
We got to go get that LASC.
That's, uh,
Luke Donald.
Yep.
I got to,
I got to email that guy back from LACDL.
Oh,
we got to get LASIC, yeah.
What are you guys going to do it?
Yeah.
I got to email the guy back.
He says he can have phone conversations at night.
What's the weird way of me phrasing that?
He's like, I can hop on the phone at night.
Okay.
He's busy during the day.
On the phone call.
He can have phone conversations at night.
Is there a, what's like the recovery time process for?
So there's LASIC and there's another one I think called smile.
Smile.
I've been hearing about that.
Where it's like, it's less like actual scraping of the eye where it's more, yeah, less invasive.
I want the real deal.
So do I.
Someone also told me that like, we.
we've waited too long where it's like it starts to wear off when you're like 40 and 50
and that they can't do it that much because depending on how bad your eyes are they take so much
filling off the top of your eye that like you can't get it again so like apparently like your
eyes start to get like wonky when you start like turning 40 and 50 and like it starts to go back
to like 20 years yeah but it's like I wish I would have done it when I was 16 I mean like 18
well let's do it now I know let's do it I I said to my buddies I was like I want to do it and
they're like, oh, you should do it in like the winter.
I was like, can't we just do it on a weekend?
I think the recovery time is short.
The only thing is like we don't want to miss out on stuff.
We're so busy right now.
You don't want to miss out of stuff because we can't see.
No, yeah.
We'll do it when we're not doing anything.
If we have a week off, we're getting LASIC.
Okay.
How about that?
Our next week off, we're getting it?
Yeah.
I think like October.
We'll do it on a Monday.
What about like mid-October?
You guys do LASIC?
Yeah.
You can document it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right for the hockey season?
Imagine?
get to go to a hockey
without we're in context?
Let's do it, man.
Oh my, yeah.
Sounds awesome.
Speaking of hockey,
we're not going to talk about it.
We've got some big things coming up with hockey.
Huge.
Huge.
We've got some huge fucking things coming up.
Yeah.
That are related to ice hockey.
Yeah.
And golf.
And golf.
Four players versus four players.
Now we're getting into what it is.
On golf courses.
Yeah.
Multiple.
Four players from the same team.
Multiple teams.
Yep.
Like locked in.
Contact with.
Ready to rock.
Golf courses done.
About these teams.
People going,
showing up.
Golf will be played
within the next couple weeks.
All right,
boys,
we'll be back on Thursday.
We're going to Murtle.
We're going to home run derby right now.
How do you guys think you're going to do?
Terrible.
We talked a lot of baseball today.
How do you think you're going to do?
I think I'm going to do fine.
I think you're going to catch one.
You're going to catch one high and tight,
and you're going to fucking turn on it,
dude.
You've got that fucking Iowa strength.
You've got that.
big boy. I got the bottom
half for it. I really think Trent's
going to hit a home run today. I think it's what like 310
to left field at the stadium? The
Myrtle Beach Pelicans. Yeah.
I think you're going to catch one. I played baseball my
whole life. I think I'm going to hit a bunch of like
slap singles over the shortstop's head
even though this is a home run derby. That's what I think I'm going to
hit too. That's like kind of all I got. Yeah.
And then I just sprinted first. I might sprint
it first. Yeah. Just to prove.
We'll see. Or we're going to get there. We're going to realize
none of us are going to come even close. We're not going to come close. I think
they're going to have a secondary fence like they do
for the celebrity softball game where it's like you hit
a home run but you really just hit it to like the second basement
what about any of the production crew can any of you guys hit a ding or anything
oh i bet oh dude b jones could probably dude alex is fucking built from the same
cloth as you yeah two big boys
did you know jake couldn't do it no you're kind of i know you always like to fire the pig
skin around stuff i thought you might have a little jake's more of a lacrosse guy yeah
i don't think i'm gonna be able to let's get one for the group we got to get one
run dude group effort oh shit john kelly in town is john kelly athletic
john kelly is one of our uh camera guys and i always remember that we were going to uh serious
xm headquarters and we were all signing in we're about to go do a really important like radio show
at serious is when we had the deal and sometimes we'd like go there to their headquarters to
interview big people like we wouldn't use our own studio so at this headquarters uh you had to give
your name and your ID and you have to sign in and they'd let you up in the elevator. And I remember
we all did it. And then John Kelly got all of a sudden he went in, gave his credit, he gave his
ID and whispers started happening. And I'm like, what the fuck's happening? And they come to me and
they're like, is this guy with you? And I said, yes. And they said, he's not allowed in the
building. He's like been permanently banned from this location. And I looked at him like, dude,
what's going on? He's like, I don't know. I was like, what secrets are you hiding? And apparently
there was another guy named John Kelly who went rogue at someone.
fucking business in this building and like
they like annexed them from the
fucking premises and our John Kelly
just wasn't allowed in but we cleared it away
but he does have like the most common
like I used to murder people. John Kelly was a chief
of staff that's right
because at the time they said that too.
Okay. Yep. That's right.
He told Hooty they didn't own his own music during the
four man scramble. They were there. And Hoody's like
what do you mean I don't own my fucking own music?
Yeah, I got weird. Like well like a licensing company I go
and he's like I own my own fucking music. We're like
ah!
All right.
All right.
All right, boys.
How long did that go for, by the way?
Holy shit.
Two hours?
Two hours and three minutes.
Wow.
I was like, oh, we'll do an hour podcast.
Yeah.
I said I'll be asleep for a nap
before the homerender every by four.
That didn't happen.
Nope.
Well, we'll be back on Thursday.
We got Danny.
He'll be with us.
We'll be, we live in some of our Myrtle experiences
and just getting into God knows what.
So have a great week.
