Monday, which is today the recording, is February 10th. My brother's birthday. So, happy birthday, my brother, Kyle. Happy fucking birthday. Happy birthday. You know, great guy, great brother.

Happy birthday. Yeah, yeah. Frankie, so we've got a developing situation. Frankie's only going to be here for a few minutes. Why, Frankie? What's going on? What happened? Pissed off, man.

I love it. That makes me giddy. It makes me my heart smiling. I'm an idiot. Yes. That is the start of the story. I'm so dumb. I just wish I wasn't so stupid.

Terrific. You know, my life would be so much easier had I just not made stupid mistakes like I did today. Yep. I can't sit here on this podcast and talk for the rest of this show because I have to go drive to Atlantic City. And let me tell you why. So today You laughing pre-story about how ridiculous this is great So today we went to go

So Dave and Erica Have to go to New Jersey, Atlantic City, Borgata Hotel because they're having a Penn meeting Like with all the people that work at all the different types of hotels And brick and mortar places that Penn owns They're having a huge like annual thing Where they get to reintroduce to people like Dave and Erica And Dave has to make a speech the whole thing

So Dave said he wants to do some pizza reviews on the way down. So this morning got into work, rented a car, and it was Erica and Dave, and I was driving this thing, this big boat of a car. And we had Aria in there, the other camera guy. And we're driving down, like, the Jersey Shore knocking out pizza places. We knocked out like three or four famous pizza places on the way down. You know, I got like maybe two hours away from home. And then they were an hour away from Atlantic City. and that's where we went to our last pizza place.

So we do the pizza review. Erica is still in the car. The car is running. Erica orders me an Uber. So a two-hour Uber back to the city. It's a whole hectic thing where, like, I'm getting my stuff out of the car. Dave now takes the driver's seat. I get in my Uber.

Everyone's happy. We knocked out all these pizza reviews. They're on the way for Atlantic City for the week. I'm like, all right, I'm good. I'm in the car. Islanders play tonight. Islanders play tonight against the Capitol's master hockey game. I'm texting my buddy's like.

Frankie's coming home. Let's go. I'm ready. You know, person, Frank's feeling himself. And I'm feeling good. And I'm on my way home. I'm talking to the old man driver.

He was wearing a cute little vest and a college shirt. Argoe? Old man. Yeah. Real old man. Like 85 years old driving me through the horrible weather, rain, darkness into the city. My phone dies about 10. 50.

No, he was real old. My phone dies about five minutes before I get into the office. Right? So I'm like, I'm fucking fine right now. I'm strolling. into this office like laity da-di-da-da I walk in I see radio Bren who's one of my guys for radio and the zero block 30 producer comes running now he goes Dave's calling the hotline of radio looking for you and everyone else is like Dave is frantically looking for you and not and when you hear

that Dave board I'm like I'm dead yeah my phone was dead so I'm like plugging in my phone and and no one has ever known how long it takes the power out of phone until you're in a situation like it takes 12 hours to power on a phone you just get that little screen where it's like there's a little bit of red in the battery. If you hit power first and like you see the cord, but it just like gives you like the X signal, like we're not ready yet. It's like, no, no, no. I gave you the power.

If you have enough power to tell me you're not ready. If you have enough power to put that little screen on that screen, you should be able to turn it on in some fun. Don't give us that screen at all. I don't need all the apps. I just need the phone. I need to know why Dave Portner wants to rip my head off. So if there's a function for like low battery, Dave Portner wants to rip your head off mode,

let me sit. You need to have an emergency context. If your emergency contacts hit, it needs to power up. So as the phone is, as the phone is turning on, I'm like, I'm running through my head what the possible things that I did wrong were. I'm like, what the fuck did I do this this bad? He's never called the hotline on another show to speak to Radio Brand because maybe Radio Brand. Marina called me ever. He called multiple people.

Erica, so many people were texting. It was crazy. Did the super driver not have a plug for you to charge up? No, he didn't. That's how old he was. He's too old, right. It was crazy. He had nothing.

Never even crossed his mind to have one of those things. Never. What are these little wires here? His phone hasn't been below 90 ever. So, this is good. Keep going on. So now I'm like, really thinking through him like,

was the pizza place that I maybe, because I'm like, oh, there's one pizza place on the way to, on the way to Atlantic City that you should hit this like Carluccio's or something like that. I'm like,

it's got 50 reviews on the app, the whole thing. Maybe it was closed. Like maybe Dave went on his way to a pizza place that was closed and did that man. about that like i don't know so then i'm like reaching through my pockets and what do i pull out you better have them where they at dude are you kidding me shut up dude i pull out the keys to dave port

nois's fucking rental car you better pick those up right now so he gave portnoy's rental car keys are in my pocket and he's in atlantic city and where are you right now i'm in new york city okay now so the car shop or no no no so the reason you know how many things that that happened this to happen So I needed to get the Uber at the same time that he got into the car. I had this in my deep jacket pocket that you don't feel anything. It's like a snowboarding jacket. And the car was still running because Erica was in there on a phone call. Had it been off, it never would have been able to turn on.

And he would have been like, hey, do you have the keys? I would have flipped them to him. But the car was running. For some reason, these cars with these push starts just allow the car to run without any keys in it, which is insane. It should be screaming. It should be screaming at the top of the song. You have no keys. The keys are heading the other way that you are going.

It should be that specific. The car should like, yeah, shut down. Go off the car industry, right? So the car now is in Atlantic City. Dave pulls into the Borgata, turns the car off at the valet, and then the guy goes to go move the valet, and he's like, where are the keys? And Dave's like, I don't know. So he calls me 150 times.

Where are the keys? Where are the keys? So now my phone finally turns out. I'm like, holy fuck. So Erica is, first I call Erica, and Erica is, like, laughing when she answers. She goes, do you have the keys? I'm like, y' up. And as I say, yep, Dave's calling.

I'm like, let me. just answered. She goes, yep. And I answered. He goes, you have the keys, don't you? I've said, yep, I have the keys, Dave. Luckily to me, and you guys all heard my... Why don't you just put him in Uber and send him down there? See, we've talked about all these situations. Do you do that? Do you trust a guy? What if this guy drives down close to Atlantic City, right? And it shows that like he basically made his route. True, true, true, he's tossed these things into the water. If it was your buddy, you do it. Oh, yeah, I gave it to someone, yeah. Why does he go fuck? He doesn't. He's just going to toss these things in the ocean.

Yep. And if you try to hold him accountable, he's to be like, oh, you're going to admit that you put your keys in car. So I got to get these keys right now. So you talk to Dave though and he Dave wasn't that man. He's just like you got to you just got to get this back. Frankie is Frankie is explaining this to the entire office as it's happening. So we're along with him, we're desperately waiting for this phone to charge because we're like Dave is going to rip this kid's head off and we're going to get to watch it because when my phone wasn't turning on and I had the keys in my hand. I said who knows where he is right now. Maybe they stopped to get gas or like they had meetings tonight like maybe they stopped at a pizza place turned it off maybe

they stopped anywhere maybe the car shut off yes yes and they're stranded for the last 25 minutes i said maybe frankie you don't ever turn that phone back on you just disappear you get a different job i thought of the restaurant yep take the hat off like i'll take put the fucking the server thing on and be like what would you like tonight the chicken parma's delicious pick up a couple night shifts at borelli's restaurant you know but now he was dav was day was actually wasn't that mad he's just like oh he's like i got to get there at some reasonable hour because these guys are like our car this car is in the front of the Borgata did they get a tow truck and move the thing i have no idea so i got to go now rent a car because uber was 780 bucks round

trip and i and honestly david's like you can take an uber but i don't want to have that type of price tag on me like and also i don't feel like taking an uber that far because what if you don't get an uber back then that's a nightmare i just have my own car drive i'll plug in my phone i'll listen to music i'll listen to old for play episodes i'll do whatever i need to do a little You should have AAA, Toed it back up here, three hundred mile towing, drove it down there. Picked him up in the morning.

What? No. That's one of the worst ideas. It's one of the worst ideas. It's one of the worst ideas. What are you talking about? It's a bad idea. I would have to tow the car up.

Drive and pick them up in the morning. Why do we have to drive and pick them up the morning? You're driving down there anyways. Yeah, well, I don't know. I don't feel like being there on. You get to watch your islanders. You get the whole night yourself. I want to listen to the road.

I'm just really tired. That's the idea for you. I'm really tired. Like, I'm nervous about driving back. That sucks. And you said, you could just stay there. I could stay there, he said. Do that.

Yeah, don't, if you're, what's the point? What is the two and a half hours? Yeah. So I got five hours of driving ahead of me. And I just drove, I just basically was in a car for four hours because we drove two and I Uber back. So it's nine hours. Nine hours of driving. And you've really gotten to no destination.

Zero. I've just done nothing. And you never run on a treadmill. It is. It's like driving on a treadmill. Yeah. Yep. It's exactly what you've done.

Oh, true. That sucks. The drive to AC2 sucks. I had a horrible nice sleep last night. Drive to AC is, there's nothing. I don't think he needs to know that right now. I'm just trying to punish him a little bit.

I got to get going before this. They're going to tow that car. I got to get going before this enterprise place or Avis or whatever, one of those companies, national, closes because it closes soon. I got to pick this thing up in the next 15 minutes. You can't do the golf podcast. All right, man. I'll see you later.

You know, I call my girlfriend and I start laughing and she's like, Don't you wish that you weren't this dumb sometimes? Well, we were saying, Riggs and I were saying, Don't you wish that like your, look how much easier your life would be if you weren't. He just thought it through the whole thing. You started through, like, go through your pockets. And the worst part was like, deep breath in that chaotic moment. Just one deep breath.

What do I need to give them? Done. We're good. Worst part was I reached into my pocket at one point on the ride home just to make sure. And I felt the lanyard from my house keys. So I was like, oh, no, those are just those. And like Riggs and I were saying, like, this is, it's a pattern. Like, this is the Frankie's.

situation that he finds himself in. This is one of the way. And we, you know, it makes for good fodder on this podcast, but I'm sure he wishes that it didn't go on. I'm thoroughly enjoying this. This is one of the worst ever. Yeah. And you're going to be on The Bachelor tonight.

Yeah, I am. That's going to be so exciting. Fucking superstar. Superstar. Bag moving guy. Crazy. Very nice of you guys to say. Yeah, I am.

I'm watching. Can't wait to watch. I can't believe the said balls on you that you walked in the way you are. I haven't even seen the video yet. So when this podcast comes out, we'll have all seen the full video. I've seen the preview. Oh, yeah. But tonight, or last night when you're listening to this, Trent walks in fully and they show it.

And from just one screen grab I've seen, he walks in with a swagger that I didn't even know existed. He's like arms wide and legs strutted. He fucking like Kool-Aid man's it in. Well, yeah. The different tweets that are coming out of other people doing what you did are incredible. People jacked up. To be fair, and like what Frankie's talking about, I don't remember. I'm pretty sure I blacked out because I was.

so nervous about doing it. But maybe I walk in with like, I find some swagger that I didn't even know that I had. You had a swagger. We're going to find out. And again, people already have seen it by the time this podcast comes out. But it's going to be something for sure. Would have loved for Phil to win because I just would have been right. Remember?

Yeah. You would have been right really quickly. I was rooting pretty hard for him yesterday. Had to. I would have stuck it right to you, Trent. You said he was never going to win again. And like in his first time, he would have been amazing. Feels good to be still be right just barely.

I mean February here. I had a win under you. had a win under his belt, but he didn't do it. Any other golf takes to get off your chest before you go drive five hours to Atlantic City back? No. Okay. All right, man, well, be safe. If you're tired, don't drive back.

If you're tired, you're tired, you know, make sure you have those keys. And just, you could just. What if I drop off the keys to my new rental car by accident? Imagine that. No, you can't be that dumb. Really? You couldn't be that dumb. That same level of dumbness got us where we are right now.

Just take a deep breath, every big decision that you have to make. That sucks. You got to spend the night there. There's no sense to drive back. It's hard to describe the look on your face. That's defeated. That's a guy that just went 10 rounds with Tyson. We got a new producer.

No solution. New producer? We went 10 rounds with himself. We have a new producer. Yep. We do have a new producer. No, Mike. He's got no.

He's just saying he's got a mic. Jake's going to get him on Mike. How are you doing? Introduce yourself to the team. What's up, guys? Brendan Jones. Brendan Jones here. So I want to say something.

Generic name. A little interview a couple of weeks ago wore a shinnock. Peter Mallar quarters it. Yeah, I thought I'd try to flex. Why not? That's a pretty good plug. That is a pretty good fucker.

Instant higher. You noticed it was the first thing you said to me. First thing. It was fucking Shinnecock. I'm hearing rumblings that you're the, you are the extreme backup goalie to the New York Islanders. You're this guy? What does this mean?

I want that job. What does this mean? You can happen? What? No, you can't. I'm going to shut that down. If I can be the letter on the bachelor, you can be the backup home. What does that mean?

So I go to like 10 to 12 games a year, home games only, and you serve as the arena's emergency backup goalie. So you're both teams emergency backup goalie. And how many times in history has this happened where the emergency backup goalie? I mean, the main one was the Scott Forster one. He went in and made like seven or eight saves against the jets. What was that? Two years ago, the Blackhawks? Yes.

And eBugs dress like often. Not often, but I mean, you see it once or twice this season. So what if somebody even if you say eBubes? EBUX the emergency backup boy Fucking love it EBO? How do you try out of position? You're not calling you EBOG

You're E bug for now How do you get that? To be honest I just got like a voicemail one day From a guy he's like Hey is someone so from the Islanders I heard you know you played hockey in the area I played at Stony Brook University

Nice okay And I have a couple friends that work for the organization And they kind of just put in a good word And said hey this kid's not afraid To jump in there and get hit with pucks if need be I got to talk to the Rangers about this You haven't gotten that voicemail yet It hasn't been on your phone where they're like, hey,

believe it or not. Believe it or not. Would you be offended if we told me. I'd love to have a goalie off between Ebug and Lurch. Totally. Let's go on the Islander's Ice. Can I make that happen? No, can I go 10 breakways on each of you?

See who I score more on. I want a pro. You're not a pro. I need to get pro type of town. I'd love this. Let's say, like, we're doing the podcast. Let's say you had rings. 100%.

Would you have any confidence that you'd beat Ebug? Probably not. But maybe. There's a chance. I'd love to hit some sloppers. Now, Ebug, You consider yourself a professional goalie. Am I going to be referred to as eBug?

Oh, you're E-Bug. Are you going to be offended by that? Yeah. Okay. I'm going to start selling e-bug merch. On LinkedIn, I'd be like, yeah, I'm a professional goalie. I mean, no. Not a bad idea.

Humble. Humble. Not until I put on that jersey. Lou at the end of the season, Lou Lamrella, gives you your nameplate because your nameplate is made in case like you actually need to go in. So they have the nameplate made and they just stitch it on real quick in case you got to go in.

So at the end of the season, what are they going? going to do just like leave it there so he gives it to you in like a frame wow that is awesome written like well probably written by somebody else but he signs it company ink dude that's that's incredible so so here's my way one less because i really do got to go so where's your fandom lie who are you a fan of tell us the truth let's go rangeranger fan so i grew up out in suffolk county long island went to like a ton islander games growing up yeah my family you're about to break breakies our ranger fans okay so he's a ranger fan Here's a question, whatever, I despise you.

Here's the other question. It's like, how do they trust? Like, what if the Rangers need, what if it's Islanders Rangers, right? I think I can answer this. What if it's Islanders Rangers game 82 at the Nassau Coliseum, and E-Bug goes in there, and it's fucking overtime, and the winner gets into the playoffs, and the Rangers are coming down. He's the goal for the islanders, and he just lets in a goal because he's a Ranger fan. E-Bud.

How do you take this? I know that they say, like, integrity. whatever, but, like, you could just do it, right? I would go in and try. Right. They're NHL players. They're probably going to score anyway. I know, but isn't that crazy that they have an arena goalie?

Yeah, but also, like, uh, like Jonathan Tavares when he's playing for the Islanders, was he, like, letting the Maple Leaf score because he grew up a fan of the Maple Leafs. Right. Well, maybe now he was, but. I mean, if I get a chance, you best believe I'm going to give him my all. True. You know. You think of the heroic of a moment that is.

You made one stash of the level. Like your safe, like your safe percentage. is a thousand. Take me out. Put you in the fucking. Hall of Fame. Do they put you in the record books if you make a save? Hell yeah.

Yeah, you got to be. Do you get paid in NHL? So I sign a, I sign a ATO, an amateur trial agreement. And if I go in, then it's like, you get a league minimum one day. Correct. No, I don't, I don't think so. You have to. I don't think so.

This is incredible. That would make like 12 grand or something like that. Right. I think it's like a. Guys, keep me up for one. Just keep me up for a couple days. Made one out of four cents. Yeah.

Easy. Easy. Easy. Easy. Easy 10 grand. Listen, we're off the next three days, like maybe coming before the next game. That's great. I didn't even know emergency practices or no.

No, I'd love to. That would be something that I was like super interested in. Like just getting out there and like, you know, like daytime like some of those goals like they don't want to be out there. Yeah, or like optional skates. Exactly. Exactly. Like they just need to shoot a tour. Get out there.

All right. I got to go to Lex City. It was great time. You really do, man. It's so tough. All right. No, not what? E bug.

Why bug? Emergency. Trent set. Back up. But that'd be like eback. emergency backup emergency backup B-U-G B-U-G.

You got a bunch of dumb people on this podcast. Got it. That's okay though. Yep. E-bug. Shout out to E-bug. Welcome aboard.

Appreciate it. Thanks. Yeah. I'll be here. Bye, Frankie. Frankie just walked. He's walking out of the room. See you, Frank.

See you Frank. See you Frank. You're going to do great. Drive great. Drive great, Frankie. All right. Well, Frankie's now gone. Yeah.

So that's it. Now we're going to talk about golf. Before we actually do talk about golf. We're talking about 180 flowers. One of every guy's greatest fears waking up on Valentine's Day, realizing you completely forgot. We've all been there before. It's very embarrassing. Usually you try to cover.

imagined it yeah you know just a uh quick interrogation on the radio dave portner being like where is rigs at four o'clock on a friday and then it's like i'm sure those are all the bells and whistles you envisioned when you were like, I'm going to get this thing at Pinehurst. It was perfect. You know, just that's the way you want to break it to the world. You get this real, all the build up and you get to drop it with a flashy video. No, it was just kind of announced in defense of myself on the radio. But yeah, the Barstall Classic Championship, I will say too, it's not, it's not fully done yet,

but it's looking really, really, really good. We've got to iron out a couple details and whatnot. But the Barstall Classic, everyone remembers last year was at Liberty National. It was spectacular. It went for us as well as I think anything could go. I think the whole world was just floored at the fact that I actually don't think this year will go as well. There's just no chance. You don't think so?

No, we're more prepared. We've done it. So we have more experience. Yet there's just no way that it goes as well as after. Preparation at this place doesn't necessarily mean success. Nope, never. Sometimes it means the opposite. And I would say almost majority of the time.

Just look at Frankie. I mean, that guy can't fucking. He thinks of pretty much everything because he knows. knows that his boss is going to think of everything, and then he forgets that there's keys in his pocket, and he's on the way to Atlantic City right now. And ruins his whole week. But I think, but you, like, you know what you're doing. So I think last year was perfect.

I agree. You know, one of the biggest mistakes we had last year was one of the tournament. And literally, everyone in the tournament's handicap was wrong. So we showed up to Granite Links. And, you know, it's like 25, 30 minutes before tea time. It's a shotgun start. We do this whole, you know, preparation. We print out everybody's score.

cards with the strokes on it, the dots on the different holes. So everything's kind of made very simple for you. You don't have to do much math and start to notice very quickly that a bunch of people are coming up to us going, hey, hey, Riggs, I just, I think my number's a little wrong. You know, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a 12 handicap. It says I'm a one. I'm like, yeah, no, that's a problem. And then eventually it was like five people did it.

And then it was just everyone in the field, the scorecard was wrong. And Granite Lynch was very mad at us. It was like, this is a joke. This is why we tell you guys weeks in advance to send us the numbers. We thought we said the numbers. The guy who actually did put that spreadsheet together wasn't on site and was on vacation that day in like Italy. So it was a whole debacle. But I will say that was really the only major issue that we had.

You almost got to root for more things like that in the first years just so you can learn. That's why I'm nervous. Yeah, right. That that didn't happen more. It's almost like the first year is going to go down in the history books as an anomaly. And that this year could be more of a normal year. And it's bigger this year. So we are doing 14 different cities, 16 different.

events. The reason that those numbers are possible is because our two highest demand cities, which are Boston and Chicago, we're doing 36 holes at the same time. So Pine Hills in just south of Boston and Plymouth and then Harborside, which is just outside of Chicago, those two facilities have 36 holes. We're going to do both at the same time. Each will be its own qualifier. So six teams from each of those courses will advance 12 from that day altogether. And it will culminate with a 15th city or stop if you'll call it that at pinehurst it's scheduled to be i believe november 13th through through 15th weekend we have to do kind of a venue like that with a bunch of different golf because we're going to have so many people that advance uh the numbers are just higher that you can't get everyone

on one golf course in the same day so we have to have two courses for saturday and then if you make that cut uh you will play the final round at pinehurst number two on sunday morning uh there's 10 golf courses at Pinehurst if you include the cradle. Yep. So we're going to do the first round Saturday is going to be on Pinehurst number one and number five courses, which they start and finish at the main clubhouse complex. We've all been there now. So you understand how cool that complex is, everything, again, kind of being able to run out

of that place versus having to go away. So courses six and eight are kind of satellite courses that are like a half mile or a mile away. And so we basically had to try to figure out if we want everybody logistically to be in the same place, which we do. So that's the gist. I think the day before Friday, it's going to be optional for anyone that's optional for anyone that made the championship can come in. We'll do a big tournament on the cradle on Friday.

We'll par three tournament. Fuck, yeah. It's going to be fucking great. I saw you guys on the cradle this weekend and I was furious. It's the most fun in golf. Short courses are the most fun in golf. Yeah, obviously playing the courses, the great course out there are really fun. There's nothing like the cradle.

It's really the best part. It's awesome. So this past weekend I had to, uh, you know, before we sign everything and before we determine because Pinehurst in advance, obviously they're going to have to book out hundreds of T-times or T-T-times for hundreds of people if we do the tournament, which courses they do that at, then if folks are looking to book a vacation or whatever in a year in advance, or as you know, people do with a place like Pinehurst, they need to know which T-T-times are blocked off on which courses or which aren't.

So we need to make these decisions. So I went down and I actually, we booked our flights on Thursday where I hit up Lurch and was like, hey, I'm going to go to Pinehurst and then I'm going to be around. for the weekend like you've never been you want to come down to pinehurst and play golf he's like uh yep so it came down like friday night and then he's like we should try to get two more of our of our other buddies that have like not been before so we just started hounding a couple of our other buddies yeah and a couple of them were like you know let me see if i can clear it with the wife and this that we had the third guy was on and then we were like if we got three we can definitely get the four so then

hounded he got a fourth guy so we did a very quick couple days uh down at pinehurst Saturday morning we were playing the cradle, and I will say going cradle to then playing the number four course, when you just hit wedge, wedge, wedge, wedge, and then you stand up and you have to hit a driver, it's impossible. Looks foreign. Yeah, I don't think I would like that. Yeah, because you're doing these little half swings, maybe a quarter swing. Like, you're barely hitting the golf ball.

You're talking about holes that are 60 yards. What did you think of the whole experience? It's awesome. Yeah. Pioneer is incredible. Like, we're on the second hole of the fourth course, beautiful par five. And everywhere you see is just golf. And it's just like a mecca of golf.

Like everybody's just golfing. And you're just, as far as the eye can see, it's just a golf course. And another hole that might be on the sixth, eighth, tenth, you know, or ninth course or whatever. Yep. And it's just fantastic. It's an awesome environment. And the clubhouse is beautiful and just massive. And then the cradle being right there, they have like speakers embedded into the ground.

So when you're going around the cradle, they just have music that everybody's kind of enjoying the same vibe as music kind of guides you. and like, you know, what you're feeling with that moment. So everybody's just kind of in a happy, good feeling vibe. But, yeah, Pinehurst is incredible. I will say being. And it's easy to get to. Being back there, that was something we were talking about a lot last night. And we were kind of traveling back was like how easy it was to get there for even a quick weekend.

Because you kind of, you put Pioneer stuff there, you know, as a top, whatever, two or three destination in the country. And these golf destinations have with like band and cabot or in the North America or everyone. I say, ban and cab at Pynors. They all kind of have this stigma of being, like, difficult to get to. Right. And it's like an hour, they're saying an hour and 26 minute flight time. And then it's an hour and 10 minute drive from Raleigh to Piner's, and you're just there. It's like last night we had flights at like 7 o'clock.

I was like at my apartment by 9.30. And it's like 26 flight time. Isn't that crazy? The North Carolina is not that far. Yeah, it's not. I guess so you look at a map, it's not that far. In my head, it's way down there. I know.

And that became clear with the weather That we were just not that far from New York Because it was cold And it was, I mean on our round The number four course On the back nine, it was snowing Yeah, it was so cold Yeah, I said you guys were bundled up like crazy

It was legitimately snowed So what courses did you play while you were there? So we got to play the Dormey Club Which is a course that we did not play last time Yep It's a core Crenshaw It's like 12 minute drive away from Pinehurst built in 2010.

We've talked a lot about Corchrenshaw on this show, but it's basically Corrinshaw Pinhurst. It's like they took that same type of terrain and built just a really, really cool golf course there

that used to be public and I guess they were saying just transition to private January 1st. They're like making a transition. They have no clubhouse. It's just a like a trailer for now and they are beginning construction

on all of the facilities. They're building a bunch of cabins. like a big complex with the clubhouse and obviously like nice restaurants and whatnot, um, that they're all going to have go up in the next 15 months or so. The course and the layout are just, you know, I've talked a lot about core crunchal taking their talents to the cliffs of like,

of Cabot and how cool that is, um, them having like Friars head, which is out obviously taking those same talents to that iconic stretch, which is obviously out on like the eastern tip of Long Island where you've got some of the best golf in the world and you put like core crunchall and their talents there. and that's taking all of their talents and putting it basically at Pinehurst. And then like able to use that same type of terrain.

It's just, it really sticks out as like wide fairways, very tricky green complexes that are insanely fun to chip and put on. But also will like drive you nuts. Nobody really lost the golf ball the whole time, which is nice, even like kind of the whole trip. Which is another thing I love about Pinehurst in general is like nobody loses golf balls out there. You don't have to hit just a horrific shot to even imagine losing a golf ball out there. So we played Dormey Club. Then I went around for a couple hours with this guy, Spencer, who's working with us to kind of bring the whole classic down to Pinehurst

and checked out courses one and five, which we had never seen before. And they get a ton of member play because their Pioneer's has like a thousand members. And they've obviously got a bunch of different golf courses, but the members play one and five a lot. I'd never seen anything about those courses. So we went out, checked out a lot of the routing and a lot of the different holes on courses, one and five, which are great.

They've got all the Pioneers kind of characteristics and whatnot, and they're going to be a tricky test. They're not, I think the number one course, one of the courses is only like 6,100 yards from the tips, but we were looking at the greens and you could put some diabolical pin locations on the greens, which is what Commissioner Riggs is going to do. So that's going to be very exciting.

and then we played number four is the one we squeezed in in the snow the cradle and then we did number two yesterday oh shit four is great four is we love four was the my favorite golf course yeah it's like super fun it's beautiful in the eye it's like not impossible to play you know like it's just like it's got tremendous playability like you have you just have fun playing that golf course for sure it's got beautiful views the vistas like the you know it kind of it hits you um of kind of the expansiveness of what you're experiencing. When you come across the green on the second hole and you look through kind of the pines and you see the lake and all the holes behind it, you're not sure which holes are which,

but you know it's all part of like Pinehurst and this course that you're experiencing. It's kind of this like anticipatory excitement of like, oh, shit, I get to play that green and that hole and all this, that. And seeing that again, number four, like I wasn't sure if I had been over remembering, number four. Yeah. Because I kept telling people like, you will not believe how good number four is. And getting out there, even playing in the fucking snow, we're like, this golf course is phenomenal. I found a dick pine cone on that golf course.

A big old dick. Also, pine cones are massive down there. They're huge and some of them look like dicks. This one of them does. I was hoping maybe you guys would happen upon that. Because I left it out there, you know. For the next person. Let nature be nature and let other people experience the rush of finding a dick and balls pine cone.

You need that rush. What a gentleman. You need to not expect it because it hits different when you don't know what's going. I found it I was just ecstatic. I couldn't talk about anything else. I couldn't talk about anything else. Just added to the experience. Pioneer's is a beautiful place.

The other thing I was going to say about Pinehurst was it reminded me of going to St. Andrews and that golf is in everything. Yep. When you're in St. Andrews, it's like in the cab drivers. They're fucking talking about it and they're all like two or three handicabs, which course did you play? Oh, I've hit this kind of shot on that one.

When you go to Pioneers, every establishment you go into, it's got Donald Ross. It's got Ben, Shaw. It's got all these different kind of historical people in golf and this guy hit this shot here. You go to the Pinecrest Inn and they're literally chipping until two in the morning into the fireplace and like laying down money on the We didn't get to do that when we were there. That place was a weird. Dude, that's one of the weird. It looks like you guys had a good experience. When we went there, they were like, it felt like they wanted to kick us out. I kept telling people that. I was like, dude, we went. It was like, it was like 10 o'clock or 11 o'clock on a weeknight. Yeah. And in Piner's in like prime, it was like 65 degree weather the whole time we were there.

It was like great time to be there. We thought, you got to go to this pine cards. We thought it went to the wrong place. It was weird. They were kicking people out. When we went, it was buzzing. Most welcoming thing ever. We were like, yeah, we're going to go over there for one beer.

Like, it was kind of a long day, drank everything that we could find the night before. And Saturday, it was like good college basketball on. And we were like, yeah, we'll just do one beer. Stay there for 15 beers. Yeah. And was having the time of my life. Meeting all these guys, great people. I saw it on one of your instist stories.

And it was like, I recognized. that lobby area. The environment's way different. It brought me back to like, they don't want us here. They don't want to kick us out of here. I think we asked like, can we get food here?

And they were like, no. We're like, okay, sweet. You know what it was like, it was like in Titanic when they're going through the, the sunken Titanic with the little

submarine camera thing and everything is just literally dead. Yes. And then they flash and the color comes and it's to like, it all of a sudden comes to life. Yes. In the actual like setting of the movie. That's exactly what it was like. We're like,

I walked in too. It was like remembering it like a dead place where there was nothing going on, darkness, maybe a couple shady characters sitting in the corner. Yep. And then all of a sudden it's just right in front of my face came to life. People were chipping the fire was fucking burning red hot. They're serving beers. People were handing us drinks left and right.

Like what the fuck just happened? It just came to life. It was great. It was. What the hell happened? We met a couple. You guys went during a time of year when it like shouldn't like, like, like you said, it was really nice when we were there.

You think that place would be hopping and it just wasn't. Yeah. We like made buddies with a bunch of people in the bar having a good old time, placed some sports bets down. They hit. So like the energy was just as high as you could possibly be. And I didn't remember this really until today or last night. I was like rubbing my head.

I was like, what the hell is that? And I was talking to someone. I was like, oh my God. I totally remember that it was from. So the bathroom is like under the stairwell in the back. Like it's a really cool, like old divey kind of spot, but super fun. Not a good environment for you. No.

And so. like this dude and I who just won on the sports bet we're both taking a piss in there enjoying ourselves talking about the big win yeah this was great I can't believe that happened X Y Z. Huge sports betting company. Yeah just just high on life and I'm like looking behind like talking to him

on my way out of the bathroom and I just smacked my head so hard to the point where he was like oh my God are you okay and I was like oh no no no I was like doing like the tough guy thing like no no I'm fine and like he was still like taking a piss and I remember just closing the door and be like, oh, my God. Damn.

Yeah. So I'll remember that place for the next, at least week or two until that thing goes away. Yeah, you're poor guy. Poor guy. You're just a big guy. Big guy. I will say that is like a, I think the max height leaving that bathroom is like 5, 11, 6 feet. So I took it, I took it square.

Right there. Right there. Damn. Yeah. Sounds like that fun, though. Yeah. That's too bad. I'm bummed that your experience was different.

That's all right. It was like the most alive welcoming spot up. Everything else about Pioneers and we were there was perfect. Yeah. It was just that one time when we went in there was like, oh, it's just not that popping. Yeah. The scariest thing, though, about this little chipping environment is there's the little hole that you chip in. Yeah.

But they hand people like a five iron. And anybody can take the club and try to rip it at this little golf hole. Yeah. And so you get, you know, somebody that's never swung a club. It's not safe. No, it's not safe. It's just not safe. If you're standing left or right of it, like buyer beware, you could get absolutely ripped with a golf ball.

Five iron is an interesting choice. Totally. And you also don't have any. idea when that person grabs that club and they stand over that ball, until they make a real swing, you have no clue what to expect. They could be horrific. That person could be standing there in heels and you don't know, and then they could be sick, and then that person could be standing there, you know, in the nicest golf gear.

They do it, it'd be the worst golfer on planet Earth, and you don't know until they pull that club back. And when it happens, it's just going to happen. They're going to rip a five iron in a bar, and maybe the total square footage in that room is like 80 feet. Tiny. It's just not a very big limit. But it was great.

We had a very fun time. We stayed at the Manor, which was a little different experience, totally renovated little hotel right across the street from the brewery, which is where we ate. We went that first night and got dinner at the brewery, which they make amazing food there at the dog brewery. We went, Eric, the head brewmaster, checked it out and had us a couple stouts. He's pouring us drinks.

Trink got fired up about that. Did you see Pashley? Oh, yeah. Okay. Mr. Tom Pashley, the president of Pinehurst, he grabbed a little lunch with us. yesterday and chatted it up with us. He was on, you know, he was big time on dad duty with the soccer games across town over the course of the weekend. And we booked it so late that he, you know, he didn't really have much heads up. But, uh, oh yeah, Tom Pashley. If you ever go down to Pinehurst

and you get a chance to run into Mr. Pashley. He's a great guy. You savor that time. I wonder if anybody has stayed in the Donald Ross house that we stayed in since we were there. I'm sure they have. But I wrote in that little book, you know, you like to say like, oh my gosh, you know, it's a good thing here. I wrote, uh, look out of it. for ghosts. I wrote Lookout for ghosts, and I was hoping that it would scare some people. Wow. So hopefully that happened.

Maybe it has. I hope so. I hope some people are laying in the Donald Ross House being like, I wonder if there's ghosts in here. Because I wrote Lookout for him. That Trent guy said to look out for ghosts in here. I wrote like up the side so it looked a little creepy. I don't know. Just, you know, leave your mark in the Donald Ross House.

The other thing I was going to say is Aaron Hills was very close to being the site of the championship. It just ended up for them not working out. because of dates because the latest you could really do, Aaron Hills was like to be feeling really good about it because Wisconsin weather is different than North Carolina weather was a couple months earlier than we needed to get 14 different cities in for the rest of the stops. But the Aaron Hills team's phenomenal. We've talked a lot about Aaron Hills and how much we love here. Trent, that's one of great, great rounds of his career.

102. I was so close to breaking 100 there. One of the great and worst, I would say. How would you rank Aaron Hills for you? Boy, that's a good question. because we had such a good day up until 17 and 18. I ruined it. I don't want to say I ruined it, but I didn't help it.

I was wearing my John Deere classic shirt. No, you were giving me confidence. You were like, you're going to do it, which like looking back, it was like you ruined it. But in the moment, I appreciated it because it was like, he's pumping me up. We're having a good day. Where would I rank? I rank it very high still because I came so close. And just like, that place is amazing.

It's like a heaven on earth. It is. Legitimately. I have an amazing stat for you. Okay. Lurch shot 79 on the number four course at Pinehurst and had 41 putts.

What? Yeah. A dude, putting's hard. Yeah, and you're really bad at it. Putting's almost, I would say almost impossible to get the ball in the hall. At a certain point, I made one put over five feet, I think,

and it was the one on the cradle that rigs got on camera, which is incredible. He had, we counted, he had seven official three putt That round? Yeah. And that doesn't count ones where if you're like a couple feet off on the fringe, on the ninth hole, he hit, and you put on a ball striking clinic.

I was going to say you had to be hitting the ball. Oh, man. On a string. On the ninth hole, which is that par five, it's a great hazard kind of template design where you got a gigantic waste bunker. He hits a great three wood out there and then ripped a four iron right over the flagstick just deep on that par five. Yeah.

And then he hit the worst put, but he was off the green. So we didn't cut that he hit the worst put. I've ever seen. He was further away from the hole. So it's an elevated. In a short and he hit it short. Right. So it's an elevated ground.

It was crazy. So it's an elevated green and some of the guys were struggling a little bit coming up. So I was just on the backside of the green. So I was just like, I'll just put down closer to the hole as they come up. And so I take a put and our buddy Viggs is like down low and he can't really, he can see the top of my buddy, but he's body, but he certainly can't see the ball. And so I put. and it like kind of almost gets on the green and then like takes this huge hill and just goes way left

like 10 feet off the green like I was two or three feet off the green and now at this point I'm 10 to 15 feet off the green off to the left and so I just start walking dead left after I hit it and this kid Viggs goes like where's he going to go riggs is like you were not going to believe how bad of a he said why is he walking left I was like well that's first point but then he ended up 43 pots on the He ended up actually getting that put up close and making it. So that hole actually was recorded as a one putt. So that's how bad. His putting was just horrific.

How did you do on number two? How did you even like get off that course? I ripped a driver and smell. No, I mean like course number two. Oh, oh. I played well there too. Pudding? Pudding.

Well, I would say I hit a ton of greens. They just never stayed on. I finished with an 83 there. I played great this weekend. I said we've played great this weekend. Never in your life. Have you seen someone fix more ballmarks? and your ball's not on the green than on number two.

Yeah. You know how you hit? You have these tiny little shells that you have to stop the ball because they're all the turtle back, egg shell greens. And large was the, like, you were hitting it great. You were just like maybe a little too much draw on your approach shot or something, and your ball mark would be like six or seven feet from the fringe,

and ball was just off the green, like not even close, just spinning off the green. It was crazy. Yeah, I played great. Hit the ball as well as I can hit the damn thing. And I was so frustrated on Saturday. I just could never. I wasn't, not only like was I lipping out, not, I just wasn't even close to getting the ball in the hole.

Yeah. I mean, I was. It was. It was not even close. He would have 20 footers and there was, we would all say, there's no way he'll be within seven feet and he never was. So there was, I like an 18 footer for Bertie. Riggs had like a six footer for par. Oh, this is great.

And he was like, I would almost offer you good good. No, I didn't say almost. I said I'll literally offer you. I will give you two putts from there. if you give me this put right now. You said no, and we won the hole. And the worst was, I love it. I left my first putt short of his, I think.

Yeah. So it's just, I mean, it was so pathetic on so many different levels. 79. 79. Great score. Yeah. 41 putts, maybe 43 with an asterisk. Horrible.

He's got to take the positives. Do you know what that word is? Horrible? Aster. Asterisk. Asterisk. I don't think. you know what it is.

Estrus? I think there's, you're missing a beat. You keep saying asterick. Yeah, that's where I say it. It's like a risky at the end. Asterisk. Ebug gets it. A couple of goalies get it.

He's got on his head like, I'm almost right on this. Asterisk. I think he's on my side. Give a head nod if so. It's asterisk. I think there's a risk at the end. I know there is. I know there is.

Astric. Boom. Jake's with me. Damn. I got the producers. It's asterisk. that's how you spell it do you guys not know this i know you trent knows yeah how come jakes can find out of you guys know that's literally asterisk hit play you can hit play yeah no i'm

literally looking at google oh that's us that's us it's not even a question one more time a s t boom asterisk it's harder to say i will say yeah for me asterisk is that what you say that's what i'm going yeah i know i don't say it that way there are a lot of CBD companies out there.

Shout out to Jake.

Shout out to Jake's been on Fuego. Jake's been on Fuego. Jake has notoriously an awful tweeter has gotten very good lately. Yeah, you got to. When you run in the account, you got to. I mean, you've been on fire. And I will say, so Jake made a very conscious effort a few weeks ago. He said, you know, I really want to ramp up the four plays.

presence, especially on Twitter, during golf tournaments. I think we need to kind of like, I'm going to live tweet a little more. I'm going to give it a shot. And the first couple of days, you were terrible at it. But I said, I thought, you know, like, this is fine. This is how you got to get into it. He's tweeting up a storm, which is great. And I was like, he'll get the hang of it.

I'm sure he'll iron some things out and he'll learn about the game and whatnot more, and kind of what plays in live tweeting golf and this, that. In the last week or so, Jake's been on fire. And it really culminated with him getting a quote tweet. from Tom Brady that that tweet from Tom Brady has over 200,000 likes. It's great because not only like getting quote to me by Tom Brady is good regardless. Like you're just like, holy shit, that's someone who's very topical and it's going to get a lot of eyeballs on it. But Tom Brady's tweet was A plus and he's chirping Peyton Manning.

Classic robbery. Right. It's like it works on every single level and that's how you get over 200,000 likes on a tweet. That's from our four play Twitter account. just beautiful. So Tom Brady, Jake, four blades, read it out. Brady would have sunk this and Brady quotes me it, it's not true. Peyton is the better golfer right now. He's had much more practice these past few years. Boom, boom, roast. A direct shot at Peyton Manning that just came out

of the clouds. I just didn't see that coming. It went nuts. Like I said, it's got over 200,000 likes. So big shout out to Jake and the four play account. Getting that going. That was amazing. That was that was so surprising. We talked about this on radio a little bit right after it happened. Do you guys think Tom Brady runs his own Twitter account? Yes. Yeah? Mm-hmm.

Okay. I don't think exclusively. Yeah. But I think he writes a lot of his own stuff. I think he would have to say this. That's what we kind of boiled it down to where he probably doesn't run it like 80% of the time. But if he, like he chimes in every once in a while, and especially if a tweet coming from his Twitter account that's going to chirp Peyton Manning. Yeah.

He at least has to okay. Yeah, he has to approve that. Even if he's not typing out. you know, you know, not true. Peyton has a better golf game right now. Someone's got to be like, is it okay to tweet this? He's got to be like, okay, because that's going to start a media fucking firestorm. Here's what I would say, though, is there was forever where we all thought, like, when Tom Brady jumped on Instagram.

People were like, there's no way Tom Brady's actually because he was commenting on stuff and this and that. He once commented on a Barstle's sports post about eating ass. And he was like with like a thumbs up and we're like, I don't know if that's him or not, but it could be. But then we found out like he's DMing Dave. True. And it's like, so he's clearly got a pretty. active presence on his social, that you're right. It has to obviously get to prove you can't have some social media intern that you're

paying, just ripping shots at Peyton Manning out of nowhere. But yeah, I think he's on there a pretty good amount. I think he's on there more than most people think he's on there. I think that's probably right. And regardless, that tweet came from Tom Brady, whether it was him or not. We get a bump from it, so shout at the Tom Brady. That was incredible. The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am was, of course, this past week.

Always a cool tournament. They play Monterey Peninsula. They play Spyglass. they play Pebble Beach. So getting to see that. The views never, never, never gets old. You get a lot of the celebrities out there. We were kind of talking about the coverage a little bit

when we were sitting at the bar at Pinehurst watching. And it's, you would like to see more of the, like, just the round of a lot of the celebrities. Like even with Larry Fitzgerald, who won a lot of people were calling him a sandbagger online that his lowest handicap has been like a five or six, but that he plays as like a nine in the tournament or this. People are coming after Larry Fitzgerald.

People are going after Larry Fitzgerald. He's one of the great guys in sports. I forget what's your huge connection to Larry Fitzgerald. I don't have a huge connection to Larry Fitzgerald. I just know that he's one of the nicest guys in sports. I've heard that. I've heard that many times, too, that he's just one of the nicest guys ever. You look shocked.

Dude, if you ask anybody about Larry Fitzgerald, they'd be like, nicest guy ever, like stand-up guy does a lot of charity work. I can't believe that people are trying to go at Larry. I thought for sure there must be some mysterious connection to Cedar Rapids here that I didn't know about. I guess he did catch Kurt Warner for a few years. Kurt Warner was when he was on the Cardinals and they were a pretty good duo. But I'm just stunned because Larry Fitzgerald is one of the nicest guys. It's true.

Let's give him the benefit of the doubt. I think we should. Maybe he was down at a five. He was up at a nine. Played some bad golf. It's still can be inconsistent. Who knows? He's won now twice, the 18 T Bell Beach Pro M,

the amateur part, you know, of that tournament. So people are giving a little bit of a hard time. But we were just saying about the coverage is like, I would like to see like a lot of his round and a lot of the average amateur's rounds. I don't think they do a good job of explaining the program and like showing it to the view. I totally agree that it'd be nice to see their swings. It'd be

nice to see a lot of different guys hit the ball around the course. Because again, you get to see kind of like the average guy go and play this time. And whenever you do, they do show them it's a one-off. Yeah. There's no context. And it's also past tense, usually. It's never in the moment that you see them hit the ball. Yeah, it's just there's no context around it. I want to know, like, you know, if Larry, you know, his partners doesn't get a stroke here because he's obviously the pro and he's got,

he made bogey. So, so Larry Fitz has this long 60-foot lag put that he's got a two-putt to keep him in the lead. Like, I would like to see how an amateur handles that on there. And you just don't, you see it a little bit, but you don't see much of it. I'd like to kind of get that. Yeah, it's very much like, look, Larry Fitzgerald is here. And then they move on to the next thing. And that's pretty much it.

Yeah. And it's not like they're so compelling and showing all the other golf that they can't fit it in. Like they do so much bullshit the whole time to like us having to watch Clint East, whatever year, stare out into the fucking Mars. I love it. That might be my favorite part of the whole broadcast. It is great every year. I've convinced myself that Clint Eastwood sits in that same spot all year and they just build

the set around him. Every single year they just build it around and they throw a mic on him and he's like, all right, I guess I'll talk to Nancy and Faldo. That was a very good tweet. I also believe it because he's just always out there. Clint Eastwood didn't know that they were sitting to his right until Jim Nance threw it and was like, what do you think?

Clinton tapped him on the arm and then he looked over and was like, oh, it's been a year already. You guys are back again. Somebody tweeted me and I actually have started to believe this, that they've think Clint is now wise to what we say about him and like what the internet says about him, that that's why he was sort of looking off. And if you watch the video he is looking off and then Nance slaps him on the leg and he gives like a little grin to the camera. So Clint Eastwood, he might still be like sentient enough to be like, I'm going to mess with these guys. He's a bit of a showman. Sure he would. He is. Yeah. He would know how to get it going for the

people. It's just, it's so uncomfortable every year, but they just keep wheeling him and rolling him out there for us to see. It's incredible. It's incredible stuff to watch. Phil Mickelson. I know Frankie touched upon it before he had to go do what he's probably, what, a half, 45 minutes into his drive right now down, but before he had to leave because he's such a moron. But Phil Nicholson, which a solo third place finish.

He had a 74 in the final round. Of course, he's playing very difficult, incredibly windy. Phil's not known as the most accurate player in the world. He still was producing heroics, getting up and down from all over the place, which was cool to watch. You thought maybe he's going to find a way. to stay in this golf tournament, find some magic on the back nine, and beat this guy. He could not.

However, having said that, Phil Mickelson now has, I think, in Saudi Arabia, did he finish third or tied for third as well? Somewhere around there. So he's now got back-to-back, very good finishes after missing a couple cuts to begin the year and having zero top tens since he won at Pebble Beach last year. I think that was the stretch that he went on. And now he's got a couple, I think it was a third. So a couple very high finishes.

This tournament, you know, he's at Pebble. He's in the final group. He, uh, he, and they were kind of in a two-man duel for pretty much the last two rounds, round and a half of the tournament until Phil kind of shot himself out a little bit Sunday. But, um, Phil also had a very, he just said, I got outplayed afterwards and kind of had a nice little Phil ask where he's going through the whole thing and all that. But we did talk about it with Brandl Shambly about Phil, will Phil ever be back? Will he, will he win again?

Brandel was on the side that it went again. Frankie was on the side that he'll win again. Trent Addy, you were not on the side that he'll wait. I feel far less confident in throwing dirt on Phil Migglinson a few weeks ago. I was very confident. It was one thing that I took a hard line on. I was like, he's never going to win again. He's going to be 50 in June.

It's just, it has to end for everyone at some point. It feels like it's coming there for Phil. It no longer feels that way. But I'm going to still be confident in saying he's never going to win again. It's not happening. Try it. I'm on that side as well. You are?

You are? You are? You are? What? Yeah. I'm with you. Okay. I said that when we were talking with Brandon.

Feels good. Yeah. Feels good to have you on my side. No problem. What a bad side that is to be. You think he's going to win again? Yes. I mean, if he didn't make every,

if he didn't make bunker shots look like there were five foot putts this weekend, it would have been, he wouldn't have been as close. You could say that about his whole career. You're saying if Phil Meckleson didn't have a phenomenal short game, he wouldn't, like, oh, yeah, no, shit. One could also say he should be taking advantages of these high finishes and those, that's where he's going to get his wins.

He's just sort of wasting the opportunities at this point. I disagree. Golf's not about getting really hot and getting lucky sometimes, about consistency over time. I think Phil McKleson's now proving that he's finding a little bit more consistency in his game. He's hitting bombs, hitting it further than he was, of course, last year, which again, Brando Shambly talked about in great detail on this show. And clearly he's able to put his game together a little bit more the last couple of weeks.

I think that bodes well for his future. Brando Shambi liked one of my bachelor tweets last week. You think he's got to watch that thing with the wife? Maybe. It made me question, yeah, what his viewing happened. He looked up from his book real quick. Right. Because he said he doesn't watch a lot of TV and it's like, are you watching The Bachelor?

That'd be something. I don't think he is. I think he's just like maybe thought something was funny or maybe he knew he was on the show. He was like, if I like this, maybe Toronto retweet something of mine. I really thought a lot about it. Sounds like it. Why would Brandl-Shambly be like in a Bachelor tweet? Totally.

To say that you don't watch TV and then be watching The Bachelor, that's as much TV as a person to watch. We're going to watch. I like that he just kind of rattled your night. You're like, what the fuck's going on with this brand of light? He's mysterious. That's a good place to be. A mysterious social media action guy, activity guy.

He's written a book right now. He's not watching this TV show. Was that an accidental link? You ever done that before? Yeah. And then you don't want to take it back. Everybody's done that. Yeah, you're like, I don't want to take it back because then they'll know.

What's the harm? It doesn't cost me any money. No. Back to like the Facebook days, though, if you would pass somebody or phone, be like, oh, check out this girl, whatever. And then they like it. And then you're like, oh, dude, that is not what I wanted. I actually never found myself in that specific.

I feel like everybody's been there. I don't hand anyone my phone. Guess we're different. I don't really hand any by my phone either. If I hand you my phone, I trust you with my life. Okay. Well, then I know whenever you do that, that we've gotten to a point where you're so bad with social media, I could never hand you my phone.

Not true. This past weekend, people were giving me a ton of credit for how great my story was. Sarcastically? No. Okay. Your story was horrible. People... You at one point you posted the wrong...

Even Jake said, this is tremendous. At one point, you just posted... People say that I've conquered social media in one day. I know Jake could be a sarcastic person. I do too. I said, I said it was better. That's very different than tremendous. Correct.

Going from a zero to a one is not good social media. You also, at one point, you posted the wrong picture of just the floor. and then you posted the next Instagram store being like, this is the picture I meant to post. Didn't take the floor one down. Didn't know how to. Correct. Okay.

That tells you everything you need. I've long said. I looked at that and I was like, that one's up. Because this is a frequent topic on this podcast. We're getting more frequent. I like it. I like it because it's like you're, and I, in the group chat today, we're all talking about it. Well, yeah.

That's because I did not edit a picture, which was. Just ripping you to shreds. And I put the Bambi gift because that's sort of what it's like. That's a good gift. Spot on. You're just out there like, it's pure, and that's what I like about it. Thank you. I also love that you don't know how to delete an Instagram story.

I looked at it and I was like, I don't know how to delete this. What if you, like, put up a picture of your dick and you're just like, oh, man, that's just up there. I could delete my account, I think. You just throw your phone in the Hudson, you're like, nope, see you. Hopefully that did it. I worry, I worry for you. We're going to after this, I am going to show you how to delete stories because I feel like you're going to put something up there that you might not want. Yeah, the delete feature on the.

It's huge. You're going to need that. We're going to need that one. Yeah. The tweet we were giving you shit about today was you took a screenshot of like a DM. Somebody said you were like, I love hearing this. I love hearing this. This is the best.

And all you could see on the sweet timeline was just the keyboard from your phone. You didn't, you couldn't take the one and a half seconds it takes to just crop a photo to the important part. No, I was just thinking maybe Twitter would highlight the right part, you know? Yeah. And that little screenshot of it. You know, don't highlight the keyboard. Highlight the top of the text. As long as you use that, we're golden.

Yeah. It's so pure. But it didn't do that. But hey, I'm learning. So, like, next time, definitely edit. Okay. You know what I mean? We get to watch it happen in real time.

Right. You see a guy going from first grade to second grade to third grade, and, hey, maybe I'll graduate. Yeah, this is like the Billy Madison of social media. Right. Yep. So that's where I'm at. How do you post the wrong picture on your story? How do you not see that it's just the wrong picture?

So I don't know how the hell that happened, honestly. You know who I took a picture of the bricks because this guy of Richard Tufts was there too. So I was like, oh, I'll take a picture. picture of this and then it just I didn't know that it was up until hours later when I went to like because I'll take a bunch of pictures from the round the experience whatever and then just put them all up at the same time and when I went to my story I was like what like how did I get up there that's what Trent's talking about where you're you could you could have posted anything anything that could have been anything right the thing that was just you for some dumbass reason taking a picture of the

floor that was up for four hours that could have been anything a night a nightmare could have unraveled you know who else we have these conversations with because of Mike Portnoy. He's a 72-year-old man. Does not know how anything works. I'll tell you what. I appreciate that. He's a scholar and a gentleman, but it's tough to be in the same, you know, he's not great at social media. Is he growing in the way I am with social media?

No, he's going the other way. I like that. Yeah. You guys have a lot of similarities with, like, a lot of his tweets go up and there's no way to interpret what they mean or what he could have possibly thought they meant by doing it. Yep. And it's hilarious. And I think you do that as well.

With your social posts, it's like, I wonder what your posts, your posts become very fascinating because you have to really work backwards and try to figure out what you could have been trying to do. It's almost like a riddle. Yes, exactly. Did you not understand today's tweet about the Talta? It's more. I'll be honest, I didn't even really look at it. But I just, you know, I figured I got the-

How it's today's tweet, too. I got the gist of it. There's always one. I'm not interested in your screenshots. I'm interested in your hashtags. That's what I'm there for. That's what people live for. And then I was not doing hashtags for a little bit, and people were super pissed.

You got spooked. Well, then I was like, I got to give hashtags. Ebug just gave me a follow. That's big. You'll get a follow right back. I got to give hashtags, he said. I didn't do them for a couple posts right after the episode. And then people were like, you're kidding?

Like, where the hashtag? You just got to lean into it. And then I was like, all right. Yeah, this is the one you posted after the picture of just the floor. you tweeted or you Instagram Story this is the picture that I meant to post Hashtag bad story Hashtag Donald Ross

Hashtag Richard Tufts I mean if you're not laughing at that You're a lunatic Yeah I think that's great I think that's hysterical It's you made a mistake and you're like Fuck it man It's a mistake

Who's perfect? Yeah I'll explain it in the next story Who cares Oh you clicked once Who cares I think on we go Stick with it Keep a smile on your face

How are the rest of those look This one's just our boy DIT and I And it just says hashtag partner. Well, because he doesn't have an Instagram. This guy doesn't have an Instagram account. So I actually tagged his wife in one because she has an Instagram. It's really nice.

You know? Making the family aware of what they're all legally. They're just one. You know, joint bank accounts. Exactly. Yeah, put them up there together. Yeah, why not? Shout out to DIA.

Good partner. 3.0 and 2 on the weekend. Oh, we got killed. Yes, sir, crushed. We got killed. I'm looking for some more hashtags. Yeah, you did kind of stop doing the tags. I can see this is when people must have been upset with you.

Oh, here you go. Now this one's the same guy. It's just this time it says hashtag my partner. You spice it up. Actually, Instagram came after me and it was like, they sent me a notification being like, hey, if this is like a... Your boyfriend or something? No, like somebody that like you're in business with and like actually you're a partner, like you have to report it as like hashtag ad or something like that.

Oh my God. You're missing it. No one else in the world has gotten that notification. They sent me a little notification. I looked at that today. I was like, this is so stupid. Even Instagram's like, what the fuck? They're sitting in their headquarters?

We have to send this, but we know it's nothing. He might not even find this notification. How is he going to get this? How could he possibly get this? Like, we'd have to find his contact information and send him a mailing. We might have to drive and find this person to tell them. So then, all right, so then you did my partner. Yeah, hashtag my partner there.

Okay. That was different. Yeah. They're like, this guy's so bad at Instagram. He might be trying to put up a sponsored post and doesn't know it. But then they got to think like this guy's not sponsored. No, this guy. There's no chance.

Couldn't possibly be sponsored. That's good stuff. We'll finish out the Pebble talk with Nick Taylor, second career PGA Tour Victory, Canadian guy. I got a couple texts from our, from our cabot caddies that were all fired up, I guess if you've got some Canadian guys on tour, and one of them goes out. Insanely impressive stuff that he was able to play final group with Phil

and go out there and shoot in those conditions to shoot, what was it, a couple under par, I think, and get the job done. Insanely impressive. I'm always amazed at people like, because you kind of, you almost write him off as like, there's no way this person is able to get it done, this pressure, a place like Pebble Beach,

those types of conditions, he's going to collapse this, that. Nope, he went out there, got it done, he did. the final final round, two under 70 when you had a lot of people that were on the, kind of in the top 10 or so that posted rounds over par. I saw, let's see, Jason Day was three over, Phil Nicholson was a couple over. Peter Mulnadi was three over. He ended up tied for 11. So a lot of these people that were kind of up there.

I saw Kizzo, and Matthew Fitzpatrick had bad final rounds. Yeah. You can tell me you have a bad final round. It's not, I don't think they'd get happy leaving the golf course. No, I also, I think I saw a clip of pretty angry Kisner. Maybe that, did anybody else see that clip? No. Something out of a bunker.

Maybe it wasn't him. But he looked, he looked angry. The most mad I've ever seen it. I need to see that. Kisner looked angry or just this guy that you don't know who it is out of the bunker? I think he was Kisner. I'm almost positive. It was Kisner.

Okay. Maybe. Are you more positive it was a guy in a bunker or Kisner? I would say. Boy, I think I was watching tennis. Yeah. Okay. I'm actually not sure.

I'm pretty sure the guy was in a bunker. Hashter confused. remotely positive that it was Kevin Kisner. Facts by four play. No. Feel free to look at that. Please cite Trent, Barst to Trent, if you find that clip.

Just not sure. Jordan Speed tied for ninth. He seems to be playing a little better as well. So we've got some big names. Phil Nicholson, Jordan Spee. Seat me finding a little bit of momentum. So good for them, Jason Day. What did you guys think of Brandl talking about how we think Spieth should just kind of go out on his own?

I loved it. Yeah. Because he, only because that's what Tiger did. Yeah. That's why I love it. We've watched him, and I think it's, I mean, I think it's pretty sound advice. There's a lot going on in Jordan Speed set. Too much.

I agree with that side of it. And I actually, the Speed Tracker or whatever tweeted out that, like, he's very close. I think that's just like a hashtag guy. And, yeah, he had a good weekend. Back kind of thing. But, yeah. I do. All speed tracker is also just a random guy.

Yeah. I understand. You don't think I know that? Well, you sided it off the little pedestal. No, you sided it like it was a really like legitimate source. No, but it's just an interesting. I think it's more just like hashtag I'm back. Click him close to the game.

I don't, I don't even know what that means. He's back. He's back. But I do think there's too much going on. He needs to separate. He needs to separate and have a tea, relax. Are you, hold on. Are you analyzing what speed tracker thinks

speed situation is? Are you analyzing speed? I'm analyzing speed, but no, Speed tracker tweeted out that, like, people in his camp. So it's just a rumor, obviously, that think that he's very close to being back. Okay. That's fair.

That's all that I was saying. Yeah. Okay. But then I was just saying it was like just kind of like dumb our old joke of being like hashtag I'm back. Yeah. Speaking, I mean, goes to the highest level. Okay.

It's like I'm running up. You were equating it to some. Okay. Gotcha. Do you follow? Yeah. Maybe it's too much. That was the thing Fitz, Fitzpatrick,

we talked about. But I don't know that we ever went hashtag I'm back, didn't me. You might have to start it. You can do that. Sure. I was going to give you a piece of advice, but I didn't, I didn't want to now. Please do it. Nope.

I think I know what you were going to say. Yeah. About the apostrophe. Yeah. He doesn't know that. I wouldn't do that in the tweet. Oh, shit. Yes, you would.

We were thinking hashtag, I apostory am back. Yeah. And then it would ruin it. Okay. All right. I can't believe you knew that. Buddy, I could teach a class on social media. No.

What not to do. Yes. Or hashtag for dummies. Maybe I'll do it through a class on that. I love every idea so far. I know you do. Okay.

Tommyjohn.com slash four. Rory's number one in the world again. Feels right. It does. It does feel like he's a best part of the Roy gang for a long time and it feels good. Feels good for him be back in the number one spot. Roy is your favorite player. You know, not talking about Tiger, yeah.

Outside of Tiger, Roy is my number one guy. Undoubtedly. Yeah. You want Roy to win the Ryder Cup? No. No, no, no. I think, what do we say? What is it possible?

Rory versus who? Who? were we talking about that one time. Was it Patrick Reed? I think I presented Trent with like the Ryder Cup's really close. It's Sunday and Rory McElroy's playing against Patrick Reed and the Ryder Cup. Are you rooting for Rory McRoy to win his match? It's hard for everybody.

I think I gave the right answer in terms of being an American, but I waited. And there was a few beats where I had to think about it. And that's how I feel. But I would still root for America. But Rory's right up there. Right up there. He's fucking awesome. He is awesome.

Having him be number one. Brooks is like, Brooks feels like he doesn't want it. He doesn't want it. He doesn't like the publicity that comes along with number one. Rory, I think this is what gets his dick hard. This is like why he wakes up in the morning.

I like having a guy who wants it, as opposed to a guy who's like, yeah, I'm just so having to be good enough that I'm number one. I agree with that. That's the difference. And I like a guy that, like, loves golf. Yeah.

It's always irked me a little bit about Brooks. And that's one of the things that I think, like the part of my take guys love about him, which I get. If you're not a huge golf guy, you'd probably love the guy that's like, who gives a shit about golf is just the thing I'm good at. Yeah.

But I actually, since we're obsessed with golf and everything golf, Roy McElroy is a huge golf guy, clearly, and, like, loves the game and get chills when he was in Port Rush and all this different stuff. So I find a lot of those reasons why I like to report me. Yeah, he appreciates what it means to be number one, which is cool. I agree with that. That's why I like, and I'm just,

and I just think he's like the most, like, weirdly normal and open guy on the tour. Especially someone, he's in terms of being, that open while being simultaneously that famous. Yes. That's what he's great at. And it just seems like he's... Because he's a mega star. Huge, huge. And he just will say pretty much anything. Yeah, he's been more

and more transparent with all his interviews. I mean, it's been great. Like, he was an open book, even back to the Carolina was the Aki Days, where they had like that breakup whatever. Caroline? That was you know, he was super transparent about all that. He's always been that way. Yeah, which is great. He gives thoughtful answers to the press conferences

when some guys are just like, yeah, I just didn't play that well or I played great and it felt good. I'm swinging at great. Rory will give like thoughtful, awesome answers and it feels good to have a guy like that at number one. I also have always respected he's been like, well, I don't actually want to be Tiger Woods because Tiger Woods can't go out to dinner.

Tiger Woods can't live a normal life because he's so Tiger Woods. Whereas I live in a pretty sweet spot where I'm Roy McRoy, I got a ton of money, and I'm very competitive. And he talks a lot in this latest interview about how he's super competitive and it almost becomes a completely different tournament

or a completely different person in tournaments and on the golf course because he's so competitive. But that off the course and all that, he's able to just be like Rory and kind of go almost wherever he wants and that people don't bug him too much and that he's not too super famous so he gets to kind of live a sweet life. I am just a little surprised by that because he is very famous.

Although he is like kind of more just like a normal looking guy. But if you see we're walking on the street, like that's Rory McElroy. Yeah. Yeah, I agree with that. Because they're right. There's certain like, physically noticeable, like, basketball players, or football players, Shaq.

People that, like, maybe the most noticeable guy on the planet. Yes. Skill O'Neill. That's right. Bar none. Roy's like a 5-9 or 5-10, like, white dude. Yeah, he's got an easier way of getting around. Yeah.

He can just kind of walk down the street, go to dinner. But as soon as one person notices, it's over. It's a flock. He's got to get the fuck out. That's how I would describe Roy McEigh's fame. Roy's playing this week at Riviera, the Genesis Open. Tigers, the host, his event, I think, was it last year? They announced that it would be elevated to the invitational status.

So it's really similar to, like, the Memorial, which is Jack's tournament, Arnold Palmer Invitational, obviously Arnie, RIP to Arne, one of the really funniest moments was with Uncle Chaps, which I've told this many times, but I'll tell it again, Uncle Chaps. And when I was doing Zero Blog 30 before we did this podcast, I believe, right around the time that we started it. and he brought up. It was the Bay Hill Invitational Week, and he was like, yeah, Riggs, it's an emotional week.

Arnold Palmer, was he playing his last tournament this week? I was like, no, he actually died a couple months ago, and this is the first tournament since his death, the first time I've done the Honorable Invitationals since his death. And Josh goes, Arnold Palmer died? It's an incredible clip. Yeah, how did you miss that, you know? And then at the end of the clip, he goes,

That's too bad. The Golden Bear. All right, Chats. He did. That's enough. If you haven't seen it, go, I don't know how you can find that clip. That's going to be buried. Oh, yeah.

Can we put that in? Yeah. Arnold Palmer, he's playing his last tournament this week, right? No, he passed away. Oh, Arnold Pompu died. Yeah. News flash. This is.

Breaking news. Breaking news. Arnold Pover passed away. I thought he was playing his last tournament. Now, it passed away in the fall. the fall slash into the summer last year. How the fuck did I miss that? I'm on Twitter like all the time.

That was a big one. Yeah. I thought you'll be missed. They meant like because he's not playing anymore, not because he's dead. Yeah. He physically will not be there. So it's very much they're going to miss him. It's definitely he's not playing any more tournaments anymore.

Right. RIP to the golden one. Yeah, the king. The golden bears, Jack Nicholas. Well, he did. Oh. Jack Nichol's still alive. Find that all you.

Jake said maybe. Maybe you just have to find it. No, it's on Jake. That was not a guarantee. I'll reach through the depths of hell to find that. I definitely thought I was going to get the thumbs up, and I got a shoulder shrug. I'm sure, I'll do seven hours of work for that clip.

Oh, yeah, Trent, you want me to dig the whole fucking internet? That's great. He's like, hey, turn, I'll fuck yourself. Anything else? Anything else I do? Should I go clean your apartment? What else did I do, Trent? Sure, buddy.

So you may or may not have just heard that clip. Depends how much Jake wants to do. You know what I mean? You do the work. All right. You want to go edit 11 videos tonight? But I sure. Yeah.

Damn. Anyways, what were we talking about? Oh, the invitational status. So this is going to be the Genesis Open. Riviera. Riviera is an all-time classic. This is probably, if you're an architecture geek in any way, this is probably the best golf course they play on tour all year

from an architecture standpoint. Tiger Woods, interestingly enough, he's 0 for 11 trying to win on the PGA tour at Riviera. nowhere else can say that. Tiger pretty much, if he plays places, he's won there a bunch of times because he's Tiger Woods, and he obviously chooses places that he likes, and he picks his schedule very carefully.

He doesn't play too many venues at this point. He plays whatever it is, high teens and tournaments, that's if he's very healthy. And if you go through high teens number of courses for a guy that's won 82 times in the PGA tour, he's going to have a lot of wins there. Nope, not at Riviera. He got his first start there.

I believe he was 16 years old as an amateur at Rivier. at Riviera has best finishes a second in 1998 and a tie for second in 1999. You tied for 15th last year. But again, one of those things to keep your eye on that Tiger's never won on tour at Riviera. A little bit of a theory floating around from the latest Charlie Woods playing golf and Tiger Woods catting forum video that people think Tiger may have shaved his head. Dude, I saw that, which we have long advocated for on this podcast. Yes.

The boss man can do whatever he wants. But taking a razor to that dome would not be the worst idea. I don't think so. I think it would look nice. Yeah. I think he'd also look way younger. I think he'd also look way younger. I think he'd just can't like, I need to see it.

I need to see it. Like some picture needs to come out that it just like shows me what it looks like because I can think of it in my head, but it's not what it's going to look like. Right. Like does he have a round head? Like Michael Jordan has a perfect head to be bald. It's just perfectly round. I just hope Tiger has a similar head.

It's big. Like, I have a pretty good shaped head. I could go shaved that, no doubt. I shave my head once. Bad mistake. Right. I have a buddy of mine who, if he did it, it would be a disaster. I think Bruce Willis has a good shaven head shape.

Perfect. What was that? Shaved head shape. What did you say? I think he actually, I think it was actually correct. Shaved head shape. I think that's what it was. It didn't come out clean.

No, it didn't. But I think the final product is kind of. kind of what I was trying to say. He has a good head for shaving it. Yeah. Looks good. Some people's heads look ridiculous. Like yours would never.

Mine was terrible. Chance. But went to camp, shaved my head. Sent like you do your like first email back home with a picture of yourself. Oh no. Mom started crying. Yeah. You know?

She's like, we got to get that guy. Yeah. Something's wrong. Somebody get him out of camp. Let him shave his head. Something's wrong. He's ugly already. Let's get the hell.

Get him back here. But I'm rooting for him to have a completely shaved head. Because it would be just, we could just talk about it. And I want to. see what it looks like. I wonder if a part of him hasn't done it because he knows it'll be so talked about. What a life. That would dominate your press conference.

Yep. The first five question, oh my God, you shaved your head. You're Tiger Woods. We've never seen you with a shaved head. When did you decide to shave it? How did you shave it?

Think about that. How famous you have to be for your haircut to be like, we got to talk about this. Now, are you guys talking shave or bick? Razor. I think he would have to bick it, yeah. Yeah. That would be.

We couldn't go buzz. It could be the same thing. just like a little lighter. You can get that bald head app and just do it yourself. You know what I'm talking about? I can also think about it in my head, but I know that's not what it's going to look like. I have to see the real thing.

Yeah, you're right. Yeah, I agree with that. You're right. Something to keep an eye on. Something to keep an eye on. The worst Tiger tracker on that. Tiger tracker, I know he usually just does on-course stuff. We need him looking at haircuts.

He dabbles in the off-course stuff occasionally, but he does like to keep it pretty clean. You know, I think that's smart if you're trying to stay close to the boss man and whatnot. might want to keep it on the course. Yeah. Hopefully we haven't said anything about his haircut that will turn him off. I don't think we have.

No, we're fine. He doesn't listen to us. Nine of the top 10 players in the world golf rankings are in the field this week. So hell of a hell of a field. I had them listed and then I just clicked out of it. But if you know who the top players in the world are, you probably go through. I think only Webb Simpson, who's ranked 7, is the only player in the top 10 that's not playing. So you'll have Rory, you'll have Brooks, you'll have John Rom, Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantley, Webb 7th, he's not playing this week.

Tiger Woods is eighth in the world. Zander Shafley is ninth in the world. Justin Rose is 10th in the world. So you've got a hell of a lineup out in L.A. for the Genesis at Riviera. Very exciting stuff. And then also you got Phil in the field, Jordan Speeth in the field, Bubba Watson, Sergio Garcia, Matt Coochere, Hadeki Matsuyama, a couple other big names. So it's a good field, good tournament. Be exciting to watch.

I think we have a pretty cool guest coming up for. Thursday show that'll talk a little bit more about some stuff kind of relating to the boss man. So something to look forward to. A lot of cool stuff to look forward to, really. Very exciting. All right. I think that's all we got. Okay.

Trent Addy, you're about to be on the bathroom. I am, yeah. In the next hour or so. Your phone is going to blow up. You better have that thing plugged in. So it happened sort of last Wednesday because I was in the teaser trailer. So people know that last week was crazy. It'll probably be equally as crazy this time around.

But at least people know that I'm going to be on. But yeah, I'm pretty fucking nervous if we're being honest. And I know Rick said, and he's right, that I already shot it. This is just a thing that I've done in the past. But I'm still nervous. A lot of people are going to see this bod on their television screens. Were you more nervous filming it than you are now? Yes.

Yeah. Because you've already done the hard part. Yeah. You flew to Peru. Yep. You starred in the battery. You grab the shit of that luggage. Roll it right out of the room.

Luggage had nowhere to go. I just picked it up, boom. Boom. See you. See, I'm leaving with this. Lugge is mine. Yeah. Now you're back in New York.

You're half the place. I just got to watch it all unfold in front of me. You're sitting in the couch at Marshall Sports with your friends. You're going to watch you drag that luggage drive on the fucking room. To just remove a bag out of a room. Correct. That's terrific. Yeah.

I mean, it's been a lifelong, right, aka three-year-long dream of mine. Right. To pull the luggage out of a room. Regardless of where it is, it's not always in Peru. or something like that. It could have been in Denver. It could have been anywhere.

But they just said, this one happens to be in Peru. And if you want to do it, get down here and do it. And I was like, I'll be there. I'll be there. And I went. There's someone out there who's like, my luggage was pulled out by Trent. And I don't know whose luggage it was. So I'm going to find out with the rest of everyone else tonight.

Wow. They only tell you whatever. They're just like going there and grab that piece of luggage on the right. They don't say this is so-and-so's luggage. And I'm glad. I'm grateful because I didn't want any spoilers because I'm a huge fan. It's got to be a little silver line. for them.

Like, yeah, I got eliminated, but like my, my luggage pulled out by Trent. Maybe. They don't know who I am. You don't think so? They're about to when they're. They're going to know. The producer who hooked this whole thing up, shout out to Robert Mills. He's been tweeting up a storm about me being on there.

So I'm excited because he's excited. It's so good. When I saw that the first time, I had to watch it 15 times and I couldn't stop watching. It's really something. The childhood dream coming true. No doubt about it. It's so good. Congrats to you.

Thank you. I mean, really, congrats. Wow. The fact that you're on The Bachelor tonight blows my mind and just impressive. The fact that Trent is on Bachelor. I said this during radio. I can't believe they just let anybody on TV. Like I get that like the Bachelor people are incredibly like, they're good looking and they're like they're like, they're like, yeah, like I'm going to be on here because I, this is like what I look like.

But like I was just like, they're like, get to this place, walk into this room, have this, you know, this experience. and then I'm just on TV. It's very strange to me. How long were you in Peru for? About 30 hours. Wow. Flew Tuesday night, got there Tuesday night, left very early Thursday morning.

How many takes did you do to pick up the bag and leave? We did probably like three or four. Okay. That's pretty good. Was there anything you tried to change in between takes? I tried to do it exactly the same. I just tried to like control my body. Did you suck in at all?

No. I probably should have. You weren't a hoodie. Yeah, I was wearing, yeah. Yeah, you had the trend outfit on. You stayed true. That was your one demand. I was.

They were, they normally the people they wear all black. They called the Grim Reaper. I call it the Luggage guy. Yeah. But they called the Grim Reaper because the person always wears all black.

My one request of doing it was like, can I wear khaki pants? Because that's what people will know. And they were like, sure, you fucking weirdo. And I did it. And that's tonight.

And people were listening as they would have already seen it. But people have been very nice. I appreciate all the support. All right, folks. We'll be back on Thursday. Thank you, as always, for listening. Go to store.
