Hey, 4Play listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. It is a good time to be alive. I'm getting very excited about golf. We had the first, I mean, massive tournament of the year. A lot of controversy beforehand about whether it's a major, whether it's not a major, who really gives a shit, to be honestly, it was an awesome, awesome golf tournament. So we've got to get to all that first.

We're going to get to Supreme Golf. We actually, we have lurch in the house. We actually did a little Supreme Golf action this past weekend. We went to LaTarette. La Torrete. I don't really know how you say it. I bet you're not supposed to church that much. When I read it, I church the shit out of it.

I knew you would. Latirete. Get out of here. Laetreite. That's insane. Okay. If that were in, what's a, give me like an Italian beach. If it were in Florence, fine.

You could say a Latorette. It's fucking Staten Isle. First thing I said was, I was, oh, they're playing a lotterete. Hold on. Is this Italian or French? I thought French. It is, but I'm just saying, okay, fine. I'm going to shoot you guys straight.

I tried to do a French accent there and it came out to Thailand. Fine. Put it in France. I could take it back. I would have done it. Put it in France. You get away with going a laparete. Fine.

But I'm talking. This thing's on Staten Island. You go Latterette. That's just that's how to handle it. Lotterette. Lottorette. So we played Latterette over on Staten Island. Great time.

Awesome time. Even better deal from Spring Golf. They're just the best. Again, if you've seen their clean, the cleanliness of their new app, It is fresh. It is sharp. It was actually just so excited. I didn't want to finish the process.

I was having so much fun on their fresh new app. I just wanted to keep surfing for new T-T-T-Times. I almost booked T-T-T-T-T-T-Ems on, like, five different golf courses because it was that much fun on the new Spring Golf app. Spring Golf.com, Spring Golf. You can find it. Go to your app store. Boom, Spring Golf.

Best Tea Time app in the world. Presenting Sponsor for the year. We appreciate your Supreme Golf. We had a great time. Thank you very much. Lurch is back in the house, like I said. I do have to do, we did a big, I was doing my State of the Union a little bit thing. Remember that?

Oh, yeah. I was like, oh, yeah, Lurch is like on the podcast, and then you were just gone for a month. Yeah, that podcast, I mean, State of the Union, it was the least state of the union follow through on a state of the union of all time. Because everything we now, we were a little off topic on that show. I think we danced around, talked about the state of union, this, that, and the other thing, I'm going to be on more. And then I was just gone in Europe for two weeks. Yeah, Eurolurch. Your Alert was gone.

Yeah. So La Torrette was kind of fitting because. La Torrette. Well, however you want to say it. I just spent some time in France. So, like, I think it's a. Oh, you. You're charging it up like Frank.

Well, as good as my voice can be. La Tourette. I don't know how you're supposed to fucking say. No, I don't either. But great. Nice little course. Cool layout. Yep.

Very cool layout. The course was awesome. It was early season, so it wasn't so green, but it was, I want to go back. I mean, it was the worst condition I've ever seen. The te box. I don't think it was their fault. It looked like you guys were playing in a scene from the Will Smith movie where the whole world is over. I am legend.

With regards to a lot of it being dead or? The whole, everything was dead. There was no, I don't even think a bird. The T-boxes were a joke. Didn't see a bird all day. Not a fucking bird. Was there a moment when you guys were, like, deep into the golf course that you thought the world had ended? Yeah, a couple.

I'll say, too, like, we should probably hear at least one bird chirping. No, there was, like, on the 16th hole, there was little signs of life because a couple Staten Island meatheads drove by and, like, honked it at Lurchwell. He was trying to chip. Yep. There was probably, no joke. I bet we had ten honking incidents. Every one of those guys, they drive by the golf course, they see a group play, and they just start honking. I find it so funny.

They try to fuck up your back swing every time. So it's one of those tracks. Great. Very cool layout. Anybody who's played LaTorette, La Torreette? Mm-hmm. Wee. Very cool layout.

It just, and maybe it's in much better condition in the middle of summer. It's going to be a revisit for us. It gets a hard revisit. It's only like 30 minutes from the city, which nothing's 30 minutes from. Wow. City. Yeah, it takes 30 minutes. To get the Staten Island.

I might even say 28 or 29 minutes. Yeah, it was under 30. I agree. Yeah, it feels incorrect to me. It was crazy. We go and do pizza reviews in Staten Island. It takes us three and a half hours. Well, I will say on the way back, we went out there in the morning.

On the way out there was quick, 28 minutes, just under 30. Lovely little commute. The way back, a little bit different, little traffic. That was great. Yeah, you know, it looked dead, but it was fine. Again, cool layout. Probably need to revisit it in the summertime. The greens were in pretty fucking good shape.

They were pussing, which that's all it matters in a good golf match. Lurch and I won four up, maybe five and three even against a couple of cap-m-cons of zero bog. 30, my old pal BD, who was the first stool that ever invited me out to play golf ever at his club, which is Fiddler's Elbow in New Jersey. Awesome. First stool ever, I moved to New York. I didn't really have anywhere to play golf. Didn't know a ton of people yet.

He invited me out there. We had a great time. Fiddler's elbow. I think they have three golf courses out there. Very cool spot. But anyway, my buddy B.D. We dusted him and Conner, so that felt great. Cons, big redemption for cons.

Last time I played golf at Cannes two years ago, we went out. Trent Daddy was in town. Trent Daddy didn't live in New York yet. Trent Daddy was in town. We went out. We were doing Buffalo wings. We had our Captain America shirts on. I think it was like getting ready to be Rider Cup season.

Oh, that was that night. I didn't realize that. We drank our dicks off all night long. We had a tea time out at this place. Fiddler's elbow the next morning. Captain Kahn's, he's like, hey, why don't you swing by Hoboken, pick me up on the way? I was like, no problem. Swing by in an Uber.

Get out front at his address. Call him. Text him. Nothing. Like, hmm, I don't know where to go and like check on him because I've never been to his place before. Call him, call him, calm, calm, calm, calm. call him 15 minutes. I'm calling him.

I probably call them 30 times. Nothing. Like, what the fuck do I do? So I show up, these two stoolies again. I'd never met any of them. And I was like, man, I'm really sorry. I told you I'd come and they said bring a buddy. I brought my buddy.

But he just didn't wake up. So I had to go like dick in my hand be like, sorry, we're like playing as a threesome. My bad. Con shows up in the seventh hole. I banned him for, he's banned. Two years. Two years.

Did you text him at all? Like, just destroying him? I'm talking mountain. of text coming in. And then I shamed him online. I drew a stick. I took a picture of my Uber of the seat next to me. I drew a stick figure.

I wrote, can't wait to get out there at Captain Conns to play golf. Oh, man. I was shaming him online. I was so upset. Anyways, big redemption for Captain Conns. He was up texting like two hours before our tea time. He actually hit the ball really well. We filmed everybody's swings for a little Riggs verse video on Wednesday,

and he duck hooked one left out of play. So we kind of feel bad for him there. We had a great time. Big shot at Supreme Golf. Players championship week. What a week at one. was tournament moved from May back to March. We had Paul Asinger on last week to kind of break that whole thing down for us.

It was a little disappointing in terms of the scoring and the weather-wise out of the gate because guys were just kind of lighten it up. No balls in the water. Fuck the over bet. I had over 52 and a half balls in the water was my wager. We ended up getting to 45. But I'm talking. There was a really dark moment where on Friday, we had like 14 balls on Thursday.

On Friday, we're like two-thirds of the way through. the lineup two balls in the water all day both tiger woods and not good who i also bet to win the golf tournament yeah so i was just a dark place i saw that stat in 2007 there were 50 in the water from round one alone it's a great bet it's just fun to watch but now how crazy is it because yesterday there's a great catch up how the hell do they handicap this like how now you know 12 years later do they say oh no it's going to be 52 for the entire weekend dude i saw some some some it was like 38 and a half so I think it's kind of all over the place why has why has golf changed at that golf course so much in the last 12 years that there was 50 gotta be weather it's all weather like yesterday

like yesterday there were like 20 right so it's all weather related and it's um you know the first round there's like twice many people playing golf yep because they have 144 people on the field the only reason i would have known thank you lurch the only reason i would have known that is because we were so into the bet that you realize when you tee off on saturday we're like why the fuck do we're we have so many less chance. Oh, there's a cut. Shit. So it was kind of a big thing.

Roy McElroy. Also very interesting. We had Paul Asinger on last week. Kind of shit on Rory. You know, I don't want to go as far as say shit on Rory, but he was kind of giving him the whole like he needs to be an assassin out there. He needs to stop kind of giving us this BS. Like, I'm kind of relaxed and all this and be a killer out there.

And then Rory, maybe listen to the podcast. What's up, Rory? But he was a killer yesterday afternoon. Nobody really knew what was going to happen. He doubled the fourth hole. He went into the fire round. He didn't get... There's a lot to break down, but Rory gets the win.

Do any of the people in this room want to apologize to things they said about Rory last week on the episode? Feel free. The floor is yours now. I don't have a great memory, so I don't know exactly what I may or may not have said. But Rory was impressive yesterday. There's just no doubt about that. I will say that it felt... You know what it felt really eerily similar to?

Not eerily. Early is not the right. We're just similar to was Sergio in 2017 when he won at the Masters. because Rory was collapsing. I mean, he made double on number four, which that hole is a pretty easy little par four. He hits it in the bunker off the tee and then kind of like chunks one into the middle of water

on his second shot. You're thinking like, wow, Roy's going to collapse he made on the 14th hole. I think it was number 14. He's got this little par putt. Missed it so bad. Paul Asinger said, pathetic effort. He did say. Literally called it a pathetic effort.

You're thinking like, oh, this is going to, a classic Rory where he's it right there, he should have won. He was missing putts left and right, even on the front nine yesterday, and you're thinking he's not going to win. Very reminiscent of when Sergio, remember on 13 on the back nine on Sunday when Sergio was like in the left trees off the T and you're thinking like, what the fuck is Sergio doing? This is unbelievable. He's going to lose the golf tournament. He ended up making par in that hole, eagled 15 and won the golf tournament. So it's kind of similar to that where you're thinking like this guy's got a history and not being able to get it done.

And then boom, he came out of nowhere. He birdied 15. He birded 16. And then he ripped a drive on 18. and that was one of the most balzy things I've ever seen. Both Saturday and Sunday, those things were absolute missiles. Look, Rory, if you're out there listening, you know, maybe I, an apology, I remember what I said, but what you did yesterday was fucking awesome.

When they had that camera angle of, like, on Rory and seeing what he was going to take on 18, because everyone was like, as he played a conservative, he took one of the most ridiculous lines ever off the tea on Saturday. Oh, Saturday was almost amiss with how aggressive that line. It was the most aggressive line I've ever seen in my television. Then he said afterwards he goes, that was the best T-shot I hit all week. Like, what do you gain from going that far left? Like, dude, you're still, like, you're not gaining that much.

You still are, like, a professional elite iron player. You don't need to really go to the edge. Let me ask you this. How precise do you think these guys are? You think you knew that one mistake. No, I think that was a miss. I think it was a miss, too. I mean, even if it was that precise, like, seven inches.

If you hit the golf ball, like, a thousandths of a setter meter off on his swing, like, it's not going to go that extra six yards. Or if there's, like, humidity in the air. Anything. You go through a little glass. I don't know. I don't know how the world works, but what if you go to a cloud of water? A cloud of water?

That's such a, what the fuck? Like, what if you go through a cloud of humidity? What, like, there's, like, water balloons float through the sky? Like, patches of humidity. There's no patches of humidity. Yeah, you act like this is an obstacle, of course. They put fucking water balloons in the sky. Like, hoops, you got to hit it through.

It was an outrageous tee shot. It was an absolutely outrageous tee shot. Was your example, quidditch? Like, quidditch. Like, when there's little holes in the, like, aren't you? talking now about a fake game of a fantasy series? Listen, what I'm trying to say is that

you never know where the hell of what's going to happen to the flight of the ball to the 10th degree or whatever. You know, like you're talking inches here, inches. So no, to answer your question, they are not bad. I think it was a miss by a couple yards. You think so? I think it was a little slight pull by a couple yards. I think it has

to be, or else he's a psych. Then again, when you talk about their iron game and their approach shots, these guys are like to the actual inch. That's how, that's how. That's why I'm a little bit, like, you know, Did he know he had a little window that he could definitely hit it in down there? And he knew that was good? Like, I can't tell because on number six, is it six at Bay Hill, that's that big boomerang par five that goes around.

He took an unbelievable line last week where when he hit it, you're thinking, oh, my God, that's in the water. And it cleared, and he had like a seven iron into that part five. So I can't tell if he's fucking doing this shit on purpose or not. He had some unbelievable quotes. He said, anytime I have a tough tee shot, I stand up, I pick my target, and I swing as hard as I can. Great line. All time line. Well, no, it was that camera angle that I was saying is like they put it on this guy.

You're like, what is he going to take? And then he takes out that dog, you know, that driver head cover. And it just looks so, it's like a little soft little puppy on top of this weapon that he has underneath. And he just pulled it out. And everyone around was like, ooh. Dude, he plays so fast. Yeah, he plays so fast. It's amazing.

But also on Saturday, on the 16th, he pulled a drive left, hit the tree, ripped it into the water OB and then got a great drop and made par. so like the last time he pulled out driver, he pulled it left and hit the trees. And then to go out on 18 with water and rip it is absolutely amazing. Did he, he didn't hit it in the water on 16? Rory? 16th Saturday. Oh, 16th Saturday.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about because that that long drive on Sunday was amazing on the 18th hole. But the time before that that he pulled out driver on Saturday on the 16th hole was the last time he hit driver. He tried to take on the trees on the left-hand side to be. And pulled it a little left to right. pulled it and let him hit the cart path, bounced a mile in the air, bounced six times on the car path. And then he hit that low runner that ran through the green end of the water. So the fact that he took that risk on the last time he's swinging the club, last time he hit the ball. And then stepped up and hit that.

An 18 and hits it an absolute mile. I don't understand it. It's amazing. He can't even fathom doing that. And it's a great quote. I just step up and just hit it as hard as hiking. Yeah, he, you know, it was interesting listening to Aisinger because he was saying, like, he was basically saying, I can't believe he's pulling driver. I think that's a mistake.

Yes. As Cindy was saying because he doesn't need driver to get all the way down here. And what I, I disagreed with that, even before he hit the ball, because I was thinking, dude, that's his best club in his bag. Like when you've got a tournament on the line, take your best club, take your best shot in your bag, and try to pull it off. And he did, and he won the golf tournament. So I thought that was-

Harry Diamond, the caddy has any say in that? Zero. No one's ever had less say in a shot, except John Rob's caddy, clearly. I think Harry might have less. Harry just seems like he's just toot in the bag along, and they're just. his buddies and he just loves watching Rory just swing. Yeah, and I don't blame him. I mean, right?

Like every caddy we've had on this show and we talk about it, their biggest thing that they say is to like, oh, he gives unbelievable yards or he gives unbelievable yards or he gives unbelievable reasons. They're like, he's like my best buddy out there. Yeah. So that's tough. Yeah, that's true. I think that's fine.

Harry's a really good golfer in his own right. I believe he's like a single, low single digit guy and all that. So anyways, they're a very cool team. Rory had a couple other awesome quotes afterwards. He said, I came here as a 19-year-old in 2009, missing the cut and getting kicked out of bars in Jack's Beach for being underage. so I've come a long way in those 10 years, which made me believe, or made me think of the fact that, has anybody in golf had a bigger glow-up than Rory has?

Glow-up? Glow-up. Like, he was a pudgy, kind of, like, gross-looking dude in, like, 2011, 2010. His hair was a diabolical. But even his face, like, he just was, like, a pudgy. Like, he had almost, like, a shitty, yeah, Jemira stuff that he on it. He almost had, like, a shitty, like, John Rahm-type body, not as big, obviously. like dumpy whatever and now he's fucking jacked in like the face of Nike and all that

yeah I think Rory McElroy was one of the ugliest people of all time at one point I'm looking at this picture right now I will stick to this that Keith Van Horn is still the ugliest person that I've ever kind of laid out of play this picture I mean that's that's horridous he kind of looks like Professor Snape if we're keeping with the Harry Potter he does he looks like when they cut to young Professor Snape who's trying to like bang Harry's mom you know what I'm talking about I do remember that Harry Potter. Then he got in the way.

He had the flow going too that just was kind of a miss on him. I'm just going to win the players championship. That was my attempt at Sna. No, that was your Snape. He just has had an unbelievable glow-up. And I'm going to say that he's hot now. Yeah, of course he is. He's definitely hot.

Like, everything about him makes him pretty fucking hot. The way he walks. Look at the cheeks on the road. swing makes him hot. Yeah, but it's all, like, and everybody knows, chicks look at guys are completely different way than we look at chicks. He's got the Irish accent.

Everything about him. Well, we always talk about how he walks, and he walks like he's got a goddamn baseball bat between us. Right. I'm on this picture now. You're going to tell, this is the same guy? I know we're on a podcast, you can't hear me, but look up. There's a picture of him with this shirt old.

Is that what I said? I said the opposite. Look at him. He looks in that photo. This guy's a fucking male model. He looks like he's getting ready to fuck the shit out of your wife right. And you'd let him. You'd have to be out.

You open the door. Yeah, you do open the door. You take his pants off for him. I got ice cold. I have ice cold water waiting for you out here when you're done. That's an unbelievable life. No, you just take his pants off for him. I mean, I'm so glad you're here.

I want to take your pants off so you can have sex with my wife. He's looking like that. You're like, man, I love my wife. I want her to have a great time. If you want me to get some water for you, kind of midway through, I'd be happy to. You want a cold Coca-Cola? Sometimes I like to watch it down with the bubbles. AC temp?

What's ready for your wife? What's prime tem? You need a cigarette? You need those socks on because statistically they say it feels better. And you're right that he's the face of Nike. They make those unbelievable commercials around him. Oh, yeah. His commercials, Ripple and, what is it, enjoy the chase?

Wow. He's also, he had that other one where he's in Dubai where they got the skyline. How about the fact that he won on St. Paddy's Day? Yeah. One on St. Paddy's Day. Kidding me? Second time.

He won the Bay Hill last year on St. Patty. I mean, the guy just performs on his day. Yeah. I'd be lying if I didn't really tell you. that I really was kind of pulling for Furek, though. I was just kind of loving his mystique, his effort, kind of just his general swag as he was working through the course. When Furek hit that shot, I guess what was it, 18?

Yeah. And he walked, I mean, I've never seen someone walk after a ball quicker when they made contact than when he did that on 17 too. After his T-Shed, he started walking immediately. I didn't know. He walked so quick, I thought maybe he hit it in the water. Oh, 17, I thought, drink. Yeah.

He walked, like he almost, he did almost the head down walks. Like, oh, no. Bad body language. And then it just landed right next to the flag. That pot, how did that putt out? I go out 17. I don't know. That thing that was curled towards a hole and it just held up on the high lip.

Jimmy. Furek at quite the week, he was getting roasted by the 4-Play podcast Twitter. But for his tan line. Well, it was a preposterous tantal. Golfers have bad tan line. I think it's hilarious. Well, that was social media Jake. Yeah, there he is.

It's a bad head. You can't not post that. No, no. He had a lot of downs. You know, halfway in the beginning of the week, his head looked like, I don't even know. It was shades of Stuart Singh for sure. It looked like when you're doing Easter eggs and you only just do one part of it. That's exactly what I was going to say.

You stole that fucking right out of my brain there. We may have said that on this podcast before. You think so? I've made a promo out of that before you made. I think that's my go-to. Good thing you then reused it because I didn't reuse it. Wow. No, he was getting roasted and then he had, if you weren't pulling for Jim Pyrick, there's something wrong with you.

I feel like. He, on 18, when he did that walkthrough, I don't know. That was like when Gary Players did the step through thing. He like did it on that shout to our good buddy. Gary player. We usually watch the Masters of this house. I don't think we're going to do that this year. But he, that was the most confident thing I've ever seen. That thing landed right next to the flag. You bury that. You're thinking,

all right, he's got to be able to get into a playoff now, at least at this point. So, Jimmy Fierick, and he's, you know, you never see that where somebody becomes a rider cup captain, they lose. And then, like, the next year, they almost win the players' fucking championship. A-Zinger was shooting from the hip all weekend on the broadcast, but he had a great quote about Fierick. He was like, yeah, sometimes when you're a rider cup captain, you win, it's like this monumental experience, but, you know, if you don't, then, you know, you continue to, like,

play in tournaments. There's some line to that vein of just, like, a little dig at Furek for not winning and just how great it is to actually win, and he did. He did. He was like, no, his experience is a little different because he lost. He also used. He used, like, Jesus. He'singer used the word bugaboo, I think 10 times towards the end of the broadcast last night.

That was his word. That was his clutch word. He knew that he's in a new, you know, environment, and this is where he needed to, he needed to hold on to something, he knew Bugaboo was his word. Trent just Googled Bugaboo. Well, I thought it was a Destiny's Child song. Yeah, I thought at one point, wasn't it? First thing that comes up for me is a couple of strollers for children.

Bugaboo? Bugaboo is a Beyonce song. Wow, that's what I first thought. He said it about Rory's like, you know, it's great to get this bugaboo off his back. And then, like, ten seconds later, he's like, you know, there's a couple bugaboo's that. It's like, all right, bro. Bugaboo's a type of word where if you throw that out there once, I'm going to remember it.

You best not bring that three or four more times. You use that every other shit. It's outrageous. sharp as a knife when you say bugaboo I'm like holy fuck you say it again you're pretty sensitive to knives too I am sensitive to oh wow holy shit you said it I mean I just said the word knife I'm not to use the word butternots but not like a sharp steak knife yeah but did you think you can say knife and nobody's gonna make you comment about it okay I'm over here like oh I got a stick of butter and I'm you know

nobody's gonna say butter knife about you come on rigsy insults I did bring some wonderful butter home from France if you want to come over I'm sure you did. He said, is the butter like different in France? What was that mean? I don't know. So, I had a great trip. Part of it was in Normandy and this guy, basically my Airbnb owner and I had a little apartment

off to the side. This is one big humble brag, by the way. Just keep going to. No, invited me over for dinner. He couldn't speak any real English. I can't speak French despite speaking French for maybe 10 years of my life. It really just didn't take for me. Sounds like a nice dinner.

Yeah, it was lovely. So he brought, he was an old French baker, made dinner, lovely time. It was great. You ate dinner with an old French baker? Actually, he, his wife, were both about 70. And then they brought their daughter over with two kids. And he cooked a lovely meal, which included soup, which he paired with a lovely white wine. On the visioning, like an elf, when, how big he is.

If he tries to sit down at dinner. It was a little bit like that. Your knees. above the seat. It was tired of the table. All right, Larch, here's your bed. Just like an elf when he tries to sleep in the bunk and his legs are like hanging out the side.

You're not built for France. No. At all. Like, and this old home in Normandy was small. It was tight. And so I actually sat down at dinner and my knees didn't really fit under the table. So I did kind of the extension and slide a little bit. So you kind of lose a little posture, but that's the only way that I could really sit at the table.

As they walk by, what are these legs doing down here? And it was actually great at one point at the meat. So we had a little wine and soup. Then we had bolognese with red wine, delicious. But he just looked at me and assumed that I wanted more, I think, based on my size. And he just kind of like showed it to my face and did the hand motion of gesturing, like, you definitely want more. And I kind of just said, oh, yeah. Anyway, so we had a lovely dinner together.

But long story short, coming back to the butter. Upon leaving, and again, speaking French and English was very tough to the point that literally we were pretty. much using Google Translate on her phone. But then he was bragging about the butter in France in this area, very famous. He was bragging to you on Google Translate? Pretty much going back and forth. Like, the butter is tremendous. Like, it's great.

You only have a certain amount of words to use on Google Translate before because of ridiculous. Thank you for dinner. Goodbye. Essentials, right? He's just like, you got to check out this butter. Yeah. And then are you like, tell me more about the butter. And what if that gets messed out.

I have a couple words. I have a couple words. Or something like, oh. I feel like you didn't mean to give you butter, but they got, like, Lost in translation, you just somehow ended up with butter going through airport security. What are your cheeks? Would you like to leave with a stick of butter? Did you say, can I touch your butter stick?

What? Airpoint. There could be some things missing translate. Talking about butter through Google Translate is a slippery slope. We were talking about a lovely, lovely bunch of time. Frankie. You know what I'm saying, bitch? Oh, nice.

Let's go. What's that? Three in a row. Very nice. Three shows in a row. I am on fire. Frankie's been on this pun kick. Keep going.

My European, I missed it. Slippery butter, you know, that was where he went there. So anyways, you got some nice butter. Yeah, great, great butter. So anyways, when he took me to the train station, very kind, pick me up and dropped me off. Took me to the train station. We stopped by a store that had this delicious butter. I proceeded to buy four croissants, a loaf of bread, and two things of butter.

And on the train from Normandy to Paris, I had a whole loaf of bread and just was dipping it in the butter and loved it. Was it a one home? Yeah, it actually really is good. Come on over. We'll have some butter. What was the guy's name? Dominique. Dominique.

Yeah, old French Baker, really nice guy. When men and women upgrade from their tattered, outdated multi-pack underwear to Tommy John, the most comfortable on the planet, they have a lot to say about it. Now, there's this whole deal about Scott, Melissa, all that. No. We're going to talk about Riggs, Trent, and Frankie, and our Tommy Johns, because I can't wear any other underwear aside from Tommy Johns. I came into this dilemma the other day where I needed to do the wash,

and I was like, I need to do the wash today because I ran out of Tommy Johns. and I refuse to wear my extra underwear now that feel like wearing sand. I have breaking news. Let's do it. I made the switch. I only exclusively wear Tommy John underwear. How great did that switch? Somebody said that like a year ago, six months ago.

I did that. You know, I had been rocking a little bit of a mix. You got some old go-toes, you know what I mean? No, no more. I had one day where I wore one of my old pair after like maybe a week straight of Tommy John, wore my old pair about halfway through the day. I said, you know what? I'm done.

Never again. Dude, it's the craziest thing. It's life changing. It's a life changing. Moving to Tommy John underwear is the most, it's the most impactful life change I've had regarding my, like, what I agree with that. Because it's the only direct contact with your most important areas that you have all day, every day. Yep.

That's Tommyjohn.com slash 4. Jim Furrick, second place, he birdied 16 and 18. Barely missed that put on 17, like we mentioned. I heard a little bit of chatter about Jim Furich trying to. get over that hump and become a member of the Hall of Fame. Bugaboo. Get over that. Get that bugaboo off his back there, a Zinger.

He's got 17 PGA Tour wins, one major, the 2003 U.S. Open, and he's a Ryder Cup captain, albeit a losing one. I don't know if he gets in with that. Then again, I'm also, we're not like experts on what gets you in and what doesn't in the golf. Yeah, I'd have to know what's, like, above and below. What's the threshold? Yeah, I do feel like you got to have a couple majors.

I feel like if you've got, like, three or something. Zach Johnson's got 12 wins, two majors, and they say he's in. Yeah, especially where his majors were. I think it's kind of just, you know, it's a feel thing, right? But him winning at St. Andrews and at Augusta, I mean, that's pretty fucking good. Jimmy, you know, it feels like he needs one of these things, like a player's championship at age 48 or whatever he is in. I think maybe even the U.S. had won that Ryder Cup on foreign soil. I think he's in.

If he somehow, like, picks off if he can get to 20 PGA Tour wins, I think he's probably in. But he's kind of like, he's Mr. 58, too, right? Oh, yeah, he's got a 58 and a 59. Yeah. Oh, that might be a tip-top. I think he has a place in history. That might tip it. That might tip the old scales.

I was looking for something. You gave it to me. You got to look at his whole career, right? It's like a longevity thing. When you look from beginning to end, what has he done throughout his whole career? Has he been an impactful golfer from the time he stepped on the tour till now? I mean, 17 PGA tour wins. You said he has a 58, a 59.

Where was the 58? He got a major. We need Johnny Miller to just shit on the 58 in some course. Yeah, when he, like, he'll be like, oh, He's easy for the Milwaukee Open. Was it to travelers? The Travelers. I don't know if it was the Travelers.

I think it was. Jim Farron made history on Sunday. The Travelers Championship shooting the first ever 58 PGA Tour history. It's nearly 40 years. Bob became the first shoot 59 PGA tour event. We now have a Mr. 58. He's got that swing of his. That's pretty close.

You think the swing helps? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Having that unique of a swing? Yeah. Definitely. Yeah.

He's got a famous for that swing. Yeah, I know, but I guess that's a miss for me. I'm not seeing that. I'm not seeing that tip on the scale like you guys are. But, hey, teach them. Look, we're trying to find something. We're really stretching for the guy, Jimmy. When Jim Furek shot his 58, it was the ninth time in his career that he hit all 18 greens and regulation in one round.

Oh, that's a nice round. That is a fucking machine. I got to be honest, he's the last 90 seconds. Jim Furek in. All right. Riggsie. Riggsie Hall of Fame says he's in. Trent?

Rigsie Ballots. Trent, are you in or out? I just got a six cents for those. Every time you are. It might be you tweeting these at me all the time. Rigsy Ballots, Furik, in. No, I think you got to get to 20 PJ Tour wins for his resume. One major?

No. Lurge? I think no, but I did appreciate his quick walking, especially when he almost fell in the water and took about 10 seconds over the ball. Oh, my God. I had the quickest steps ever. I 100% thought he was falling in the water. I wish I wanted him to swing at that plus so bad.

This was a case of if he takes that full swing, he definitely falls in. Definitely falls in. But he chose not to. Yeah. That was one situation where he's standing on the led. We're talking about when he was on the green. On 17 on Sunday. And the punt didn't drop.

And he almost unleashed a fist bump. He was an inch away from. Oh, you guys were talking about that. He did a little like a first step. He did a little like gallop. And like if it went in, one more step, he's in the water. 100%. Really?

He had no idea how close was to the leg. So he's basically walking this put in and he's not looking at the legend. Everyone on TV's like, no. Like stop. And he's just walking closer, closer. And then the put just didn't go in. Because you're on an island. Yes.

And he stopped. Dude, imagine falling on the island. And then having to play 18. That would have been all. The ball misses. And then he falls into the water. Dude, who went in, he would have fell in. I guarantee it.

That's how close he was. See, that would have been cool. That would have been great. That would have been just like, God. It would have been the most all-time clip ever. Birdie makes it, falls in the water. It's got to play.

Brow goes crazy as Jim Furik falls in the water. And it's Jim Furrix. That's somebody like cool and hip. No. It's like fucking Dad Furic out there. Oh, man. I just hit a fucking Bia. Did you hear that?

Bia. You know what the last time? You're the guy Howard Dean. It was like a viral clip back in the early 2000. Oh, yeah. I mean, Howard Dean, his Bia is one of the best things that's ever happened in this universe. I could be wrong, but I believe that sunk his presidential chances. Yeah, like, maybe one of the most infamous Biaz of all right.

We're going to go to Rhode Island. And then we're going to go to Washington. And he's just revving up the crowd, and he had no idea where to take it at one point. So he just looked at him. He just like, Bia! And everyone just looked at him. I'm like, what the fuck? It's honestly one of the best things I've ever seen it.

I don't know why I just hit that Bia. But shout out Howard Dean. Yeah, one of the other great ones is Governor Rick Perry when he's like, yeah, we got our three points for this. And then he just rattled off two of them. And he's like, and then we got that, there's that third one. Somebody else in the debate had to be like, you mean education or something? That's it. And then the next time around he threw on glasses and was like, they're all going to forget.

They'll never recognize me. Fooled them. That's great. All right. And we got to talk about John Rom. This was appalling. I don't really know how else to describe this. John Raham.

We've done many bits here on this show, many discussions talking about what kind of psychopath John Rom is. I think we did a whole thing about like what we. Oh, this is my little Rick Perry moment. You like that? Yeah, you built it all up. Give it to us. We've talked a lot about John Rom.

Just his temper. Have we been the first people that really jumped on that? Because I was actually wondering that yesterday as well because yesterday was the first time that I saw people on Twitter being like, oh, here comes John Rom's classic temper. I was like, Phil, no he's been talking about that, but us. I think at one point we kind of like stretched it. Like, I was like very, like, oh, he looks like the type of guy that would explode.

And then, like, he started to explode and we're like, holy fuck. Like, this guy's actually going to kill someone on the golf course one of these days. Well, I never thought it was like mainstream that, like, people. Because yesterday's Twitter was. I mean, I don't know. He played up. It was pretty fucking mainstream. Yeah, I think a little mainstream.

But he played it up also after Saturday's round. And he was like, I'm pretty proud of myself for, not blowing up and like taking this in stride as I work through my Saturday round and then Sunday was just the opposite. Well, and they kept making a big deal about how he works with a bomb diffuser. Did you see these stories? What? He's been like, you know, a lot of people, they have different kinds of coaches.

They'll have like sports therapists and all kinds of different stuff. One of the guy that's on his team that he started working with, like, within the last year, is a guy who's like supposed to help him with his mental approach and his emotions on the course. And the guy literally is in like the military and he is job. was to diffuse bombs. And they were like, oh, the metaphors, he's clearly this guy's working,

like wonders, he's really tame John Rom down. I mean, the guy had his worst episode ever yesterday. What a fucking lunatic. Worst than the Masters? Yes. Yes, I think so.

Yeah, I do too. Because of the stage, the scene, the shot, the outcome. Let's talk on 11. He hooks his T shot left on the par five. Then he watches Tommy Fleetwood, who hits one in the drink.

And then he, has this conversation with his caddy where that's kind of like they cut in in the middle of it where Ron was over the ball and then he kind of comes off it. His caddy steps in there and puts his hand on Ron's back. Which you know is like, oh, this is a conversation that's going on here. Shout out to the NBC crew. They get right in there. And all of a sudden we're kind of like really where we wake up to them going back and forth.

You can very much tell that his caddy is like, look, I got you coming over here. it's flat over there. You're going to have a little wedge in. That's where I got you. And Rahm's like, I don't like it. You know, I don't like the lie for this layup and this, that. And then he kind of gives them the okay, yep, which is clearly like a passive aggressive. Like, nope.

That's just your girlfriend saying, okay, yep, like doesn't want it at all, doesn't believe in it. Or at that point, like, is hoping you do it and shows that you're wrong. Yes, exactly. Oh, yeah? Go ahead. Yeah. Exactly. Go ahead.

Let's see what happens. No, that's a great idea. No, Frankie. No, Frankie, that's definitely right. Oh, yeah, you're 100% right. Just don't come crying to me when it goes wrong. Frankie, there's no chance you're wrong here. 100%.

Does that sound familiar, Frank? Yeah. So that's... If we're talking girlfriends, real quick, shout out to my girlfriend, who we're watching the players, and they have this unbelievable shot. I guess it's a jib shot. Now I'm in the producer game and all these cameras and stuff.

What does you say? It's called the jib. Jib shot? Like, JIB. Like your teeth? It's a gym. It's a camera. It's one of those massive cameras that goes across all the crowds and stuff.

Chibb. Shout to quip. There's a jib shot of, you know, it's going across the little pond on 17 or on the island green. And she goes. That's what they do that with, the jib? Yeah. And she goes. I like those shots.

She literally says this. She goes, oh, that looks like TPC. I looked at her. I said, that is quite literally TPC. In what world do you think we would be looking at that screen where it looks like that hole and it would not be TPC? She just, like, had no answer for that. She goes, that looks like TPC. Tough not to get into like a mansplaining situation there.

I didn't. I just looked at her. I was like, it is TPC. It is. It is. Do you think she was... It looks like it?

Do you think she was trying to impress you with her knowledge of being like... It was just unbelievable. She thought she's had it. She's like, oh, you know what that kind of looks like? That looks like TPC.

Expecting you to be like, you know what, babe? That does look like TBC. I'm like it fucking is TPC. It's like looking at Yankee Stadium. It's like that kind of looks like Yankee Stadium. It is it. Yeah, it is it.

That looks like a banana. Oh, it's because it is a banana. You know what? That looks... That house in D.C., that looks just like the White House. TBC is so iconic looking that you can't mess that up. I mean, no. And it was the, the gypshot was like, it was the whole thing.

It showed everything. The Iowa Green. And the music, like, don't know. Oh, the music was fantastic. How good was the music. I don't want to throw us all the rest too much. What were we talking about? No, I'm sorry.

John. I just have to give that shout out. Yeah, John Rom. We're right back. We're talking about John Rob. This was. So he's like, he's like 220, 230 out. He's got tree limbs in his way.

He's in the bunker. He doesn't love the lie. Water all the way right. Hard. They got the wind graphic. Huge fan of the wind graphic. Like you're playing fucking Tiger Woods. Yeah, it was awesome.

Fifteen mile an hour left to right, which means, like, he's got to hook it against the wind. And just hits it right in the middle of water. That shot was going nowhere about the water. Never had a chance. It never had a chance. And then you heard him give a, I was fucking really committed the first time or something like that. He's dropped the hard F bomb. And he did.

I think he said I was really fucking sure the first time. Yeah, so he said. Something along the lines of like, if you would have never. Got in my head, I would have never hit the ball in that water. So it was unbelievable. It was a stunning thing to witness. Yeah, and I hate that disrespect to the cadet because he is doing the right thing. He told him at one point, I can get you 100 yards on a flat surface.

I can get you here. Just do it. Yeah, Rahm just wasn't committed to that. But I agree. Where do you stand on this? Because I feel like you're pretty passionate about this little problem here. I am. I just, I mean, Ram has got so much to figure out and learn.

I mean, I think. So shout out to Riggs when he was doing the. interview with Darren Clark. I was actually just sitting there on the side of the room, just watching it all go down. But Darren Clark said one of the best calls by his caddy is one time where literally his caddy just stood over his bag and was like, you can't have that club.

Like we're not going that way because- Literally said he stood over the ball. So I think if the caddy, when he gave that passive-aggressive, like, oh, do it. I think that's fine in like another tournament or if you're on the range trying to hit a dumb shot. Like, oh, go ahead. Give it a shot.

Give it a whirl. But in that moment, I think that caddy should have been stronger and been like just restated what is in front of them. Fleetwood just went in the water. So we've got a stroke advantage here. The moment is Sunday afternoon. Like, we can still get to that flat land. So the advantage of going for it across the water,

over the sand, around the tree, downwind, wind against you, is still not even on the green. So he still has another wedge in. So I think the caddy should have restated what was in front of him, the hurdles that he had to overcome, the chances of hitting that shot. so much less than just going right to that flat area. And even if you're a little long over there, you're still taking the water out of play.

So I think the caddy should have been firmer in that moment. If you're placing the blame on the caddy for not explaining more. I mean, Rom wasn't going to listen to any of it. Just going back and forth a little bit more. I mean, I think their relationship. Yeah, I just don't know that like, like, I feel like he did pretty much everything a caddy could do. Think about it. I literally said, like, I would have definitely done it had you not said, like, he,

This is what he was thinking. I would have definitely done it had you not said anything. And you wanted the cadet to say even more, be like, hey, we have a one-stroke lead. Well, now that he already started the conversation. Yeah, I did want to. I know it's really tough. And honestly, that- Rom should have to have that-

That relationship between Rahm and the caddy seems awful, especially post that, Roms is yelling Spanish. Yeah, I mean, yeah, that's the way I think. I think that caddy should have done more. Rom's a young player that, like, doesn't really take his penalty around the golf course after he hits a bad shot. just take your humble half-stroke penalty or whatever it's going to be and go over there. Rom thinks that he can conquer too much within each golf shot.

I just don't know that any caddy on the planet should ever be in a position where they say, where they make a call that they could feel, like, bad about. Essentially what I mean is, like, if he stands over the ball, it literally doesn't allow him to hit the shot or, like, throws his ball in the water or something. And then Rahm plays the way he wants to and doesn't win, then, like, That can never be something that that caddy should like have to have on his shoulders or live with or whatever. Whereas the other way around is something. Like the player calls the shot.

I think it depends on the relationship between the player and the caddy. Whatever they decide going into that round, who's going to be able to make the final call, right? If the player gives the caddy all, you know, 100% of his commitment being like, hey, man, if you think that this is the right call, I will listen to you out there regardless of how much I fight it, then sure. But I don't think that John Rahm ever gives his caddy that much room to maneuver. over with because the second he said something after he hit the bad shot he blamed him immediately. So I feel like that's just the back and forth that he has. I hear you. I guess I just would have wanted the caddy to, I don't know, explain more to Rahm about the

moment, the situation and like what's at stake and better percentage play going in because I think he just bailed out on that conversation when he said to Ram like, oh, do whatever you want. Like give it a swing or whatever he said. I just feel like at that point, right? And that I think he made the read that like nothing's going to change. mine at this point. So, fuck it.

Which I, I, that happened on a green and he gave him, really, like, hey, it's two balls at. and then Rob was just like, no, it's not. Like, do you expect the guy to, like, stand in front of him? No. Because, God forbid, that ball doesn't break. Like, Briggs is saying, God forbid something doesn't happen. Right.

And you're just wrong. Like, you shouldn't be the one that the whole entire day and the tournament and all the money and the championship should be placed. Fair. It should be in Ram's head. In between his eyes is where it should happen. Yeah, I agree with that. I mean, he's obviously got a bigger decision or percentage of the decision going in.

I just think. think that if you miss a put, you know, the risk isn't as bad as the risk there. I mean, the risk, and we saw it all play out. So that would be my stance on it. He ended up being a disaster for the rest of the day, too. He had a chance to, like, kind of like, figure it out. He was leading the golf tournament. He was leading the golf tournament.

Yeah. So if you really think about it, right, if you go through the- Also, the catty loses a couple hundred grand because of that decision, and then what happened after? So if you really think about where he was in that situation, he's tied for the lead, okay, he's got, he's got, this is on 11. He's got 12, which is very burdiable. Everybody can reach it.

He's got 16, which is incredibly burdiable. And he's tied for a lead at that time. So you've got to think, like, okay, even if he lays up to the right, he should have a decent chance at making birdie. Hit a wedge in there from 100 yards or whatever. Decent chance of making a birdie at 11, not a lot. Pretty good chance of making a birdie at 12. Pretty good chance of making a birdie at 16.

And he's tied for the lead at the time. So it's like, dude, there's almost like no fathable reason to go for the green. David DeVauze said he couldn't, quote, couldn't wrap my head around the decision, unquote, Brando Schambly, said, I think this will go down in history as the most baffling decision ever struck here at this. That wasn't quite a quote from Brandon. It was. Very Branden was. The baffling decision ever struck here at the players.

Unbelievable. What a quote. If you dig a little deeper into what Robb said, his break he was, if I hit the green, gray, I was going anywhere left, and that was grass or sand. So there was a big amount of land to hit there. all I had to do, and then that was where his quote ends. So essentially always saying, all I had to do was hook the shit out of it, and then even if it went way too far left, that's fine. He said, Adam was trying to convince me to go right.

When I first got to the ball, I was really sure I could do it. I mean, if you give me 10 balls besides that one, I'll hit the other one on land, but unfortunately I got a little bit of doubt in me. That was his quote afterwards, where he says, but unfortunately, I got a little bit of doubt in me. Right at the caddy. Throwing your caddy right on a little bit of shape. Your caddies fired.

Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I think that it was a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit. interesting. I was watching their handshake on 18 afterwards, and they both were kind of smile, and it had like a very pretty like buddy buddy type handshake in. So clearly, like, his

caddies used to deal with that. Obviously like he's, you know, he knows his fucking guy's a hot ed, a psychopath, a lunatic. God, I wanted him on 18 and just, after he had put one in the water on 17, I wanted him to step up to 18, just duck-cook one into the water and just absolutely helicopters driver into the water. That's what I was rooting for.

I was rooting for it. So here's a little math I did for you guys. He finished tied for 12, $253,000 check. If he was three strokes better, which he lost one stroke in the water on 11, and then he hit another ball in the water on 17, which I don't think he hits that ball in the water if he isn't out of the tournament at the time. He's trying to force it and make birdies.

Him and Tommy both hit his water back to back, which was stunning. Double done. He watched that guy do it. A little too late for us with the 52 and a half over balls in the water. If he was three strokes better. he would have got $725,000. That was about a half a million dollar difference. Just right there.

Isn't that insane? And I don't care how rich you are, half a million dollars is a half a million dollars. Yes. I mean, it's half a million dollars. He also smoked a spectator with a golf ball and the chest. There's a couple people hit. Trent Daddy blogged that one, which is... I just love people.

I mean, it's not funny. And people get hit. But when a guy just takes it right to the chest, his reaction was great. He actually saved a... It was like a stroller right behind him. I think he saved a baby's life, maybe. Oh, wow. the guy who was standing there.

So he's kind of a hero. Yeah, he did. John Rom is an absolute weapon out there. I mean, he is a liability. I do want to say. He's a gun with no safety. It's just fires whenever it goes. We just don't know where he can go.

We haven't seen the worst of John Rom yet. Blackskill Burris and him shit hang out. He's out here talking to bomb diffusers. Who knows, like, when shit starts to fly out the handle? Can't contain a bomb? I feel like if we were really going to see it, though, we would have seen it yesterday. He was under a lot of pressure. Dude, when he hit that ball on 17, like, I knew that everything had, like, just bottled up.

It was over. Yes. Like, he knew that it was over. I swear to God, had he put one in the water on 18, he would have either jumped in the water and, like, with a cinder block attached it was like, or he wouldn't swim either. That body is a sink.

No. It doesn't float at all. He's not a ton of buoyancy in that thing. He's so thick. Oh, God. You know what he's got to do? Shave the sideburns. You think so?

Yeah. He's got to get rid of the sideburns. They're weighing him down. What do you think that next conversation's like with the bomb diffuser guy? I think he goes in as, like, a report. So everything we did, you did not follow whatsoever. Blue a red cord, blue a red cord. You just cut all the cords all the once.

Didn't even care. Do you think he's like, like, he's kind of like delaying meetings with it right now? Okay, I know we were supposed to meet Monday afternoon. You know, I got something came up. We're going to see a tweet from like from the guy being like, John Rom has canceled five straight meetings. And then 10 minutes later, we're going to be like, upon further review, John Rom has not canceled any news.

Fucking JT. I just retold that story to Dave today because he hadn't heard about it. And he was like, that's such a, like, such a bet. He was laughing out loud. when I said that the U.S.G. APR said upon further review, he actually didn't miss any meetings. I talked about enough in the world. That was the craziest thing that ever happened. The fact of the golf world just accepted that.

That's the craziest ever happened. And people were tagging us on all the Instagrams about it. Like, oh, what are you guys got to say about this now? He literally probably, like, had the phone to someone's, like, and he's like typed this out right now that I didn't do it. Those words don't even mean anything. Nope. Upon further review, Justin Thomas has actually not canceled any of these? Your alerts was out.

Yeah, might have been out of the Europe. Also, I lost my phone. I'm not too like you're five. Thank you. Because you're eating butter with some old dude. Dominique. Makes me kind of old. What's up, Dominique?

Woo! The average interest rate on credit card debt is over 18% APR. Have you looked at your interest rate lately? Might not be in love with it. Refinance your high interest credit card balances and save with a credit card consolidation loan from Lightstream, just like we did. We don't know anything about finance, about consolidation, about how to just save money. We just kind of do dumb things, put a bunch of stuff on credit cards, and then just

hope it works out. Those words meant nothing to me. Nothing. I see something. I buy it. Correct. We have to say it's like that movie, a 40-year-old virgin where he has those shoes. I just want to take these shoes. I just want to buy these shoes. If you think I'm thinking about finance when I'm buying shoes, you're insane. Luckily, you can get a rate as low as 6.14% APR with auto pay. That's way lower than 18%. Ladies and gentlemen, the rate is fixed. It will never go up. You can get a loan from $5,000 to $100,000 and there are no fees. Even better, you can even get your money as soon as the day you apply.

I think he was just like responding to someone's tweet. Hashtag grow the game. Hashtag grow the game. Now, he did do hashtag grow the game and then he added USGA, which is worse.

Holy shit. Because the guy, the original tweet wasn't bitching at the USDA. It was just like stating the rule and how dumb it was. So then all of a sudden he comes out. So the USGA PR Twitter handle comes out of the clouds and it's like, well, you know, we love to speak with you. And we've been trying to like have all these meetings with you in your camp for the past. I don't know. You've canceled endless amount of meetings and you've had a seat at our board for the last seven years and all this stuff.

And then like we're all like, holy shit. The USDA just stomped their dick on the ground. They called out one of their best players in the world saying that you're canceling meetings. We're trying to fix all this shit and you won't do it. And what was it, 24 hours later? 24 maybe, I don't know, less than 24 hours later, they tweeted out, upon further review, we noticed that you didn't miss any meetings. Like, what does that fucking meet?

So we all know that behind closed doors, Justin Thomas called up, the USJN was like, how dare you, how dare you make fun of me on public media on Twitter. I am a tweeter and I like to use commas and you cannot destroy me on that social media. Yeah, yeah, that's. And they're like, okay. That's just got less than so many levels. We had a little, that was a little reference back to JT. Tiger Woods.

Tiger Woods with a tied T30, T30 finish for Tiger. Kind of a weird week. He's had a bunch of weird weeks this year. I'm getting kind of sick of it. However, I will say that we were spot on on his neck analysis. He just didn't, he just fake, didn't want to play in the Arnold Palmer because he wanted a little bit more rest, which I love. I think that's smart.

Play the biggest offense. I don't need you playing Bay Hill. You've won there 8,000 times. What's 8,000 and 1 mean? Nothing. Let's, like, not do the next stuff. Like let's figure out a way to explain it to the fans and us. Let's maybe drop a, I'm just not going to play.

Why don't you say I'm the best player in the world and I'm not going to play in your golf tournament? His statement should say, I'm the greatest and most electric player to ever play the game of golf. I will play when I want to. Exactly. And I am not going to play this. Yes. Just have that template out. And every time he releases it, there should be like a little emoji or something that comes out of the tweet, like some confetti or something.

It's like he just stamped this fucking tweet on Twitter. and that's what's happening. No one can even complain about it. That's it all that's happening. That's exactly. He gave us all heart attacks with the next stuff. He said he's like my neck. Why did he all the neck stuff?

We had Roy saying, yeah, we saw him getting treatment. Like, what are you fucking? Was that a lie? I'm pretty sure Roy was doing Tiger's solid. Oh, yeah. I saw him getting treatment. Then we were talking about him getting treatment. He gave him like $10,000.

Can you say, can you be my alibi for my neck injury so people don't question it? Because it was a lie. It was all a lie. All of it. God, we were thinking so many bad things. We were thinking about Jupiter, Florida. Like everything was like, we didn't know what was going on. You know what I'm doing right now?

I was trying to come up with a notification thing for what Rory was doing, Tiger. I was thinking like a, no, I got nothing. You were thinking of a, if I would have dropped something that was his notification or something. If I would have dropped that equivalent to that right there. Like a phone call and a roitery phone? All right. We can workshop that. A little too much kind of a mouthful, but it's better than when I came up with, which was nothing.

There was nothing. But he was. He was feeding us Tiger propaganda. It was propaganda. From Rory. So Tiger's little lie thing there went so deep. He recruited other players to talk about it. Unbelievable stuff.

Tiger T30, again, kind of a weird week. He posted a couple under in the first round. You're kind of thinking, all right, it's right where he wants to be. Second round, he gets all the way to five under. You're like, oh, man, he's rolling. He was five under for the tournament. It comes to the 17th T, which was his back nine, or which was his front nine, and dunks two in the water.

This was shocking. It was horrific. First one, I got to say, first one, shouldn't have gone in the water. I don't know how that thing kept rolling. It looked like it landed in the middle of fucking green. Then it just keeps going, going. There's a little walkway. You're thinking, oh, that's Tiger fucking woods.

That ball doesn't go in the water. Are you kidding me? You're thinking somebody in the player's championship truck back there has to hit a button where the slope of that ground shapes the other way. Correct. Grass just raises just a huge. Whoever is running the players' championship, you cannot allow that thing to go on the water. Or Tiger's little thing in his brain where he can move the ball

just wasn't working that time. Wiggle that. You know he has a chance to just pull it. It wasn't much. You wiggle that thing an inch left. It's fine. So that was weird. I didn't expect that.

The ball was not behaving. No. And that thing, I mean, it's supposed to just spin like more than another ball or something. Like, you can't just can't go in the water there. So that was crazy. And then all of a sudden he dunks another one,

one of the worst wedge shots I've ever seen. Horrible. Almost looked like you, like, bladed a wedge into the fucking water. And you're sitting there going like, are they, I almost expected them, the, um,

I was watching on PGA Tour Live. He played in the morning on Friday. I was also expecting to just cut out, like the footage just cuts out. And then they go back. And then Tiger's just walking to 18. Like, Tiger made par on 17. Imagine as that second one, the wedge shots going into the word, literally just like all the colors come up on this street.

I would have been okay. I think that one went in. I would have been here, right? Paul A-Zinger's like, you know, he got that bugaboo off his back. I would have been When I was watching that I would have been perfectly okay with the tournament is ending

right there Yeah, I was That's what it felt like It's just watching him Because at the time What was he like four back Five back? I don't even know if he was

I know if he was two back He was two back Tweet Everybody's shit on me For my ear tweet Two back They were Is he at seven then?

He was at five He was at seven I tweeted out Five under Two off the lead I emoji and then my gift that I always tweet about Tiger. With a leopard?

Five seconds later. Yeah, I think it's a leopard. Five seconds later, ball in the water, everyone's responding to my thing. This didn't age well. Way to jinx it. You're such a mush, blah, blah, blah. Hey, you fucking idiots, I have to tweet about Tiger. And every other time I tweet out that Tiger, maybe leopard, gif, that he doesn't hit in the water.

That wasn't a jinx. Correct. So you guys are fucking idiots. Yeah, I might have to. That's a great call. That is a good call. They definitely have that gift. Whenever you have a terrible aging tweet, you just tweet out the, so he was.

He was too off the lead. Then that happened. It was just like, what are we going to do now? The world's over when that happens. That was awful. He said, I'm not playing Bay Hill. I needed that. I needed to get that organized.

If my back gets tight, it's going to go up the chain. And so I got to start at ground zero, get my lower back moving properly and get the firing sequence good. And then after that, the rest of the robot. Then after that, the rest of the chain will take care of itself. The firing sequence. All of that. What are you, Iron Man? That just means, again.

In my mind, too. Was Iron Man? Him just, like, he's just like Tony Stark working on himself. Got to get this firing sequence right. Like, what are you talking about? Like, he spent the whole weekend in his, uh, Tony Stark little dungeons. Yes. Trying to, like, program his body to get back on track.

Their house is probably like similar. He needs to get into the point where he presses a button and then, like, the Tony Stark thing comes out of his skin. Like, you know how Tony Stark and the most recent Avengers can just, like, do that now? Yeah. It's just like, it just comes around him. He doesn't have to do anything. I think he's working on that, but it's like in his golf clothes or something. Correct.

You know? You know, they used to have those fighting necklaces. Oh, yeah. You know, those things would make you, like, cooler and calmer and more athletic. When I was playing baseball, all the cool kids used to have one, I didn't like that and that shit. Yeah, man, I mean, you know, I ever brought into it. But there's, like, iron in there. How many people are working on Tiger when he's, like, in his layer?

Like, when he's, like, laying down trying to get his fire sequences in his back? Like, are there seven people in the room? What was the notification? where he's like he can get anything out of his room or out of his house? Oh, Tiger, I believe it says, like, Tiger doesn't need to leave his house for anything. Yeah, something like that. I believe that. So, like, to answer your question, he has a million people working in his layer because no matter what he wants, he can just get in his life.

No matter what. On a much poorer level, like, I just, like, postmates. Like, let's say he wanted, it's true. Let's say he wanted, like, a brand new pair of, like, pants from a random store. Like, that stores in his house. he never has to leave I don't think that store is in this house it's somewhere in his house

may not be the actual storefront but they have options from that store somewhere in a closet I don't know if they do why would he need a special pair of pans if he's not leaving the house I'm just going to the World Wide Web I tried to think of an item

that would be like something that he would need and the first thing he came down was a pair of pants yeah I don't think he needs what's the craziest most out of the box that you can think of

pants I was on a fucking island right there like just think of something right now a couple of things something. I thought about letting it slide, but I... Are we not going to talk about the fact that he didn't even have to drop that ball from where he dropped it?

That's not. That was bad news. I wish that information would have never come to life. I thought about that in real time. But I don't want to sound like a dummy in tweet about it. So what happened? Well, this fucking ball, it went, because it went down the little path thing there, he actually, there was rumored he could have dropped the ball no closer to the hole on that little path thing. And he would have, like, a 30-foot putt.

Right. That tweet with the picture was just like... Come on, dude. Dude, Brandel literally showed where he could have dropped it, and then the drop would have went a little too close to the water, so then he would have been able to place his club down to the right, and then he had a perfect view hitting three. Might have made bar.

Could have easily, well, easily walk away with the boge. He saves himself a couple strokes, yeah. Walks away at the four instead of a seven. Three-stroke difference, at least. And you're in the tournament. That was frustrating. And he doesn't make those kind of business. How happy is Brian?

Yeah. I know. Do you think Brandon was rude? Like when Brandel saw. that he was dropping from the mat from the drop zone. Do you think Brando was ruining for him to just finish that shot so that in the future he could do that little thing? Because he knew that he was in the wrong spot. No.

You don't think so? No, I think Brannel roots for Tiger to do better because it's better for his business. I thought that video was great for his business. He, like, showed that Tiger Woods, the greatest golfer of our generation. And this guy who's like not even a human being didn't understand the rules. No, I think it's better for Brando when Tiger wins and then everybody tunes into his postgame show and all that. I think that's better for Brandon. Who do you place blame on that?

Do you think Tiger was supposed to know that? I think Brambley was supposed to know that? I think he likes both situations. I think he's happier if Tiger does it, but then part of him's like, ooh. I get to be more than everybody. Exactly. I think he's happy with both situations, but the Tiger. Brandl golfed golf, the Tiger Woods on his thing.

He's like, this is where he should have dropped. That's an amazing moment. He did golfsplain it. He golf spained a rule that literally took Tiger out of the tournament. I think the blame is, I mean, it's on Tiger. Yeah. You got to know the rules there. Yeah.

You know? Again. I don't think it's on Joey. No? I mean, I guess my caddy guys. Is there a rule? I think it's a little bit on Joey too. I don't think it's not on.

How does this work? It's always on the player. I just think everything's always on the player. Okay. Caddy's there to like assistant help, but it's not on the caddy. How does the interaction with the rules officials work? Do they have to initiate the question? Like, does Joey or Ty have to have to?

Yeah. Like they'll never like come out of their way and make you guys have the option to go. No, because that would point to it at advantage. I didn't know if they did it for everyone, though. Yeah, that's a good point. Maybe on certain spots they do it for everyone, but they have to do it for everyone. That's such a unique situation where there's like a walkway on a green and then like the out of bounds marker ends at certain point. Like they were saying like it ends at this at this little sprinkler head.

Like that's kind of like that. Maybe there's an announcement on Wednesday or something like that. But I don't know. Yeah, I'm not sure. But, you know, regardless, I think it's on Tiger. That's my take. I would have liked to have seen him get that correct. But Tiger Woods is game generally finished time for 30.

Like I said, he finished 600. He shot 69 yesterday, Sunday. Very nice. Very nice stuff. He had classic Tiger quotes afterwards about how I'm right on track for Augusta. Somebody then tweeted out, I think Ryan Lavner from Golf Channel, I think Lav's a listener. He's a fan of ours and all that.

Fuck you, Lab for this tweet. He tweeted the Tiger quote where Tiger said I'm right on track for Augusta, and then he responded to it, laughed it, and said, Tiger hasn't finished within eight shots of a single winner yet this year. Damn. That's a power statement. I take a little shot at Tiger. It's just a little.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is golf season. That's correct. Players' championship has come and gone. Okay, we were out playing this last weekend. It was like 55 degrees out. It's supposed to be 60-something this next Sunday in New York. Wherever you live out there, it's golf season. We made it.

I canceled winter. I think last week I canceled winter. You know what that means you need golf gear. You go to store. It at barstfulsports.com. Go to the four-play collection. It's really insane, how much good stuff we have. in there. We got the foreplay thermos. The orca thermos. That thermos is

stunning. I watch you walk around the office with it and I'm like, God damn, that thing's nice. It just pops. It really pops. It probably tastes better too. Anything that's in there probably just tastes better. I cannot explain to you how cold the beverages are that are that are in that thing. It's like they came straight from a glacier. Oh, man. It's like a glacier fusion where I put a transfusion in my mouth so bad. A glacier? I'm down here, Frank. When you get the Glacier Fusion, the glacier water. Really, whatever you're drinking. You bring us on the golf course the other day?

Oh, yeah. Are you kidding me? How cold it was up there? Fits nice in the golf cart? Perfect. You know that little slot? Oh, yeah. It's like it was made for that.

They got those little cup bowlers and the orc of the bottom part of it is perfect. And then it just slide. It's literally, it's almost like we talked about the old players championship trophy. You slide it into it. Oh, yeah. And it opens up like a new kingdom. There's no clanking going on. It's tight.

Not a clank was heard. Wow. The whole round. We also got the Peter Malar stuff. We got quarterships. We got vests. We got belts. Okay, we got Smathers and Branson, Wolleth, key fobs.

We got club head covers. All kinds of good stuff. Roebats are so fire. They're awesome. I mean, I always play around with mine. And, like, when people see me, you can hear me jingling. Ooh, that's nice. That was a little Christmas sound to it.

Like, the fact that it says Barstool and then it's got the American flag on the other side, when people see me walking around with this in my apartment building, they're like, what is that? And where does this guy just come from? I don't think we marketed those enough. Those are off the charts. Dude, they're perfect, like, leather. I love these things. I love showing them around my apartment building.

People look at me like, this guy just come from like the U.S. Embassy. Like, they have no idea where I just came from. So again, all our listeners out there. We have noon merch coming out next week. We got kind of a spring line coming. Frankie was wearing his, um, sea foam. Is that what people are calling him?

I think that's what we decided on. Sea foam. Some guy tweeted at us and nailed it. He's like, that's seafone, fellas. Seafone Peter Millar, quarter snap, we're calling it? Quarter snap. It's got, doesn't have buttons, Q snap. It doesn't have buttons.

It's not a zip. It's got snaps. Q snaps, the thing is off the charts. That's coming out. We've got new hats that people are not going to believe. The hats are outrageous. One's on my head right now. The hat is so nice.

People, part of my take guys came over, they were like, they were trying to steal the hats. Like, what are we got to do? Get one of these hats. I was like, buddy, I only got four right now. No, that hat is outrageous. You are going to have to wait because I need all these hats. That's how good they are. So anyways, store at barcelesports.com.

Go to the foilplight collection. Get yourself some gear. Kevin Kisner, tied for 22. This is my favorite running storyline in sports. Maybe since Jeremy Lynn. This is unbelievable that he keeps being tied for mid-20s. It's unbelievable. Kiz's, he made $125,000.

Obviously, a huge purse of the player's championship. So awesome week. Kisner's last five finishes. Tide for 26, tied for 28th, tied for 27th, tied for 23rd, tied for 22nd. Unbelievable. Also. Most consistent man and go. That's a great way to make a living.

I looked it up. Kisner so far this year, I have a Kisner spreadsheet that you guys will see here. Yeah, you sure do. There it is. Kisner spreadsheet. Kiz has made $411,000 this year. In the last, what, that's five rounds? Just in January, that's seven rounds.

Seven tournaments. Seven tournaments. That's not bad money. No, that's a good way to live. Also, his mannerisms when Johnny Vegas was just pouring in puts and just playing out of control. Johnny Vegas. It was unbelievable. And Kisner looked like he was just on like a Sunday stroll with like a sandwich.

He didn't look like he cared at all. It was amazing. He never looks like he cares about anything. He just, he's even one of the things we love about him. He should teach Rom. I'm still on the- and Rahm should get together.

There's a part of me that still says that he's still performing. He's playing in the tournament. It's not like you get to go home. So he might as well try harder. Kids? Yeah. It's like, He's trying.

I know, but we make this thing where it's like, all right, like you're just finishing the middle. Like he could finish better because he's still, it's not like he's playing tremendous fault. It's like you get to go home. He's making all cuts and he's finishing T-20s.

It's just amazing. He's pouring in money to his bank account. He is. No, he is. Yeah, but that's the point, too. Like, if he would have, if he would have shot, like, four strokes better yesterday, he would have made, like, half a million dollars. Quite a difference.

I think it's got to be really frustrated. Yeah. I still think he tried his best. Are you saying that he didn't like... No, I'm saying that we're like, oh, it's an amazing place to live. Like, he's probably so happy. You're like, he's just walking around, like, he's holding, like, a sandwich. Like, I think we're painting this picture, which it is him.

That is how he's coming off. But, like... You can only be so leisurely when like, if he was walking around like he was holding a sandwich and they just left and went home early, like, oh, like kids has the best life ever. He shows up, makes a couple hundred grand, gets to leave early, sitting on the couch. Like this guy's literally to perform. He has to stay there. He has to try and win. He's playing all he can't hold.

You might as well perform better. Well, I wasn't saying that. I mean, I think he's very glued in. Certainly with all the interviews and things like that, he's actually like, he's tremendously like. I guess what I mean is. We're saying that he should be content. No, I don't think he is at all. But I think that's just the mannerism that he gives off.

He's very even keeled, and I think that's not a negative on him. Yeah, it's tough to tell, right? Like, I, it is very tough to tell if he purposely or just because of it's his demeanor gives off a vibe of not caring that much. I mean, he came on the podcast and said he had no chance to win. So I think that's a little bit. But again, I can't tell if that's him like, I know what's funny and I'm like, you know, he's a normal cool cat and all that.

Or, you know, if it really does kind of drive him crazy, you know who is living better, is Roy McElroy's last tournament. Tide for fourth, tied for fifth, tied for fourth, second, tied for six, first. He's been on fire. With some putting struggles, like we talked about. I mean, the guy won the tournament this weekend. Even when I watched, I couldn't believe how bad his puttting was. So bad.

You could have read off, if he was a supreme putter, when you were reading that off, you could have said four ones right there. That's how well he played. Yeah, the only one maybe, like, against DJ when DJ won by, like, five shots in Mexico that he wouldn't have won. But, I mean, and the tournament of champions, that was when Zander Shafley shot a lot. 11 under on Sunday. But if you're going, like, Farmer's Insurance Open, tied for fifth, he could have won that. You're going Genesis open, tied for fourth.

He could have won that. You're going on Aral Palmer Bay Hills Invitational, tied for six. Could have won that. He could have won up by eight. Yeah. Yeah, he could have blown the field away. His statement is always the same post round. Teeter Green was pretty good.

Pudding was okay. Yeah, he did. I mean, you got to give us a credit because he did drain that putt on 12. He made like a 12 footer or so up the hill on 12 for Burr. And then on 15, he made like another, I don't know, I'm going to call it 12, 15 feet after hitting that fairway bunker shot. He made that putt for Bertie. So he made a couple of putts coming in. And then, you know, I always get a little nervous.

He did two putt on 16. That was like a classic Rory hole where he just ripped a driveway down the right. He had like 170 in, hit a butt or an iron in the middle of green and then just two putted for Bertie. That should be like, that should be Rory's M.O. Two putt for Bertie. Ooh. I was trying to think of something there. That's how he wins golf tournaments.

If he two putts for Bertie every par five. He shoots four under every round, and he shoots 16 under for the tournament, and that's Roy McRoy's game. Speaking of putting, what do we think about the guru after, you know, last week when we talked about the guru. What's his name, Matt Killing, I think. I saw a lot of tweets about him. I think you guys are tweeting about him.

Yeah, you know, look, I thought Tiger putted way better. Yeah. I thought his putting looked good. Even the ones that missed were close. He didn't have many where he kind of was disgusted with it. One exception was the 18th hole on his first round on Thursday. when he was three under for the day, and then he kind of yanked that little short putt for par.

But outside of, you know, a couple examples, I thought he putted pretty well, which is good. We got the guru in town. Saw some people. I'm just going to, I'm going to just relay what some people were saying that there's a rumor that Matt Killen's been working with Tiger for a while now, but that he's actually his full swing coach, but that in order to take a pressure off of him that they haven't announced that.

I have zero validity to that. I have zero, like, credible sources. That was just a random email I got. But if it becomes true, please credit the 4Play podcast. That was a random email I got from like Tim 1774, 1390 at like Hotmail.com. I've been sitting on this information for a year, but I just got to tell someone. But I'm just, you know, that's what I heard. But yeah, Kiz, T26, T28, T27, T23, T22, most consistent man.

I mean, I hope he does well. I hope he wins eventually, but I also never want this streak to end. I hope it just keeps going. It's unbelievable. My favorite part too is that none of them are solo. 20 thirds. All T's. It's always a T20 something. It's true. That's amazing. It's great. Okay. We said that we are going to be doing the catty call-in shows every other week. So this next show next week will be a catty call-in show. We had several submissions for what we should call the catty calling shows. You're trying to come up the name. Let's hear this. Or do we want to do it next time? No, no. This is just part of the show. We got a couple from the galleries to get to, too, and then we're done here. Marketing rigs. We got a couple good ones.

The amount. We'll cut to, we'll get to those. It would be rigsy marketing is what it would be. Sorry. Try to get it right. I'm dyslexic. Follow the formula. The caddy yak.

I don't love it. I don't either. Kind of hate it, actually. Caddy shack. Caddy yak. Didn't we say we didn't want to specify to caddy? Yeah, we did. The next one, this list here, this is by far my favorite.

This next one. Behind the greens. It's like behind the scenes. Great pivot and look. it, Frankie. I like it. I do like it. I didn't come up with these.

I let it simmer for a second. Behind the greens is not bad. I like that one. That's the winner so far. Behind the greens is good. Now you guys got to think about it too for all the listeners out there. We're going to whip up like a promo thing that we do that's like behind the greens. Behind the greens is solid.

March 18th or whatever the hell it is. Now behind the greens is good. Behind the greens is pretty good. Behind the greens is really good. And that encompasses everything. Yes. Yes. The maintenance guy.

The super. Behind the Greens is real strong. On the job. Nope. The looper lowdown. I don't hate that one. No, I don't hate that one either. Sounds like a dance in the 70s.

It does. The looper lowdown. It does sound like a older people. It does like a dance party. It sounds like a dance party. Like all the aunts and the moms, no. They all jump out there on the weddings. You know what sounds like a really stupid event that like the PJ tour would throw on on like Saturday evening after the Saturday round for all the caddies.

Yeah. Well, come over to the looper lowdown, and they're like, fuck, that thing sucks. Yeah, some PR guy, like, thought, like, he was going to hit his year-end bonus because of how good that was. Yeah, right. There's, like, balloons, and you get, like, a fruit punch. Yeah, a gift bag. Yeah, a gift bag with, like, a couple teas in there. So stupid tea and, like a hat from the event that you'll never wear.

Yeah. A big water bottle, like, one of those, like, little, like, plastic ones. Yeah, not one of these sweet ones, like the Orca 4. I wouldn't even call it a water bottle. That's a, that's a disgrace to call that thing a water bottle. You're right. It's embarrassing. You know you hold this thing upside down?

The water won't come out. Do it. Pour it over your laptop. That's too risky. Raw mask. No water coming out. None. Nothing.

How amazing. Not a drip. Not a drip. For all the people at home, a couple drips just slipped right out of it. I didn't have it on. I didn't have it on. We tried to. We're trying to sell some fucking.

It's broken. Part that the... There you go. Look at that. Not one. Not a drip. Dry as a desert. Try it the other side.

Dry as a desert. Hold on. I think I fixed it. And for the listeners at home, he just, he did it upside down and I think a gallon of water from out. I think plants are growing out of the studio. I mean, it wasn't even fully vertically like upside down yet. He walks around with your water bottle upside down. The floor is soaked.

Maintenance. Maintenance. Now he's just drinking out of it. What is he trying to take water out of it? Can't explain how cold this water is. Top is a whale tail. I'm wondering if he just drank the rest of the water so now no water can come out. Did you just drink the rest so no water can come out?

Again. Fuled you. How many people you know walk around upside down? Fucking. Two or more cup. Third times of charge. Water thermos. I guarantee no water comes out of this. I don't know if I'm doing it right.

I mean, what do you mean not doing it right? Just hold it upside down? Don't do it over the laptop because clearly. See that? You take an empty water bottle and you put it upside down. Flawless. Here we go. Oh, man.

There's a spot. Well, there's, yeah, there's a little air pocket. There's a hole in the top. Exactly. So you can drink it better. So there's no kind of gold gold gold. It's not one of those. So somebody was trying to tell me that I think you can drink that.

It's not part of the sale. You're not buying this thing to hold it upside down. You're buying the thing because it's got a little holes so it's easier to drink the actual out of the actual spot. You're buying this thing because it looks sick and it freaking keeps your drink. It's like an orca whale. Orca whales has blow holes. Right. It's designed like a whale.

I kind of love the top. Oh, it's literally got the same science behind it. And anatomy is a whale. If you put some coke in there, maybe the bubbles will fizz out and it'll go and shoot out the orchard top. Last option for the call-in show. Four, please. I hate it. Now, you know, they go four, please.

Tiger Woods now driving is what they say at Augusta. Does that change it? No. No. I think behind the greens is the best. Behind the greens. Behind the greens is the best. We have to actually make sure no one else uses that.

That's a good of a name of this. Trademark that, Jake? Jake's on. And then below it, it should just be Trent. It's like behind the scenes, Frankie. That should say. That should be the card. Behind the greens.

It's like. It's like behind the scenes. I didn't know if Frankie got it the first time. He was looking like. No, it's got to say dash Trent next to that. No, no. It's like behind the scenes. But it's different.

It is. Different word. I'm going to play with this. All right. From the gallery, we just got to do a couple of these because people send in a lot of good ones for play at Barstolesports.com. I'm going to pick out we're already running long,

and we can save some of these for the next show because we do two shows a week because we love our listeners and we do whatever we have to do to keep you guys happy. It's great stuff. Bang. One guy DM this to me, and I forgot his name, so whoever DM this shout to you, thank you. Big discussion.

This guy's going to be so mad. He forgot his name because he's going to hear it. I know. People love that show. He's going to hear it. He's going to hear his question finally got through. You say everyone else's fucking name. This is the only guy that you forgot his name.

You know what happened? Here's what I think happened. I think that I copy, I keep a note up for each show. I was telling Lertz this. After, this, today's show, I'm going to walk out of here. I'll start a note for Thursday show. A little note. And I'll just write little stuff in there that pops in my head or that I hear that I see.

And what happened was, I think I was drunk on Friday night. Got pretty shit-faced. Went to that Barstow Breakfast thing. Yeah. With Lurch and Willie. And those guys were shit-faced doing a bunch of shots. I was super fucked up. So I was going through my phone on an Uber on the way home,

and I copy-pasted this from somebody sent it to me. I just copy-paste it in my note. No clue where it came from. I got no clue. So I've lost that guy's name. Shout to you. That's more of an alcoholic or alcohol-induced. Sorry about that.

Big discussion last night on a golf channel about the auction value of Tigers, Scotty, Cameron, Putter, which he's won 13 major championships with. What do the four-play boys think it would go for at auction? Wow. Now, shit, I don't know what other. stuff goes for it. I'd have to look it up. Exactly.

I got no real compare. If I'm off the dome, off the top of the head. It means that thing worth a million dollars. That's the number I was just going to blindly throw up. I said, I was going to say 300,000. That was the number of the first two of my head. What would you pay for? Well, I don't have any money.

I don't have any money either. Right. I mean, you guys are way overshooting what I'm saying. I was going to say like $120,000. I mean, this is a fucking golf club. Yeah. From the greatest player had ever played. Million dollars?

A putters won 13 majors. True. I mean, there's some people out there with funky money that are just total fans that would pay an outrageous. Like, if that was just a bidding war, I mean, I think it goes for a million. And golf fans are like, they got money. Yes, they got money. Assigned Michael Jordan, NBA, Chicago Bulls home jersey from the playoffs, signed, like a game worn jersey went for $125,000. Now, that's one game worn jersey from one game.

Yep. Tiger's putter was at everything. And it was the only putter. And that's just playoff or is that a championship? Just the playoffs. A home playoff. Million dollars. Million dollars is a very fair price. I think it's low.

I think it's low. I think it's low. I think it's definitely low. You might be getting into two, three million dollars here for that fucking thing. It's not even close. It's way over a million. Yeah. I've never been more change in an opinion of my entire.

120 grand. You were at. You're going to offer a gift card to Borrellys for it. I was. Free pizza, maybe a Coke. No, they don't, you know they charge for water? We don't charge for water. It's a mess.

I don't know how. I want to go back to the day that that started. I don't, we don't charge for water. The problem is that we don't... Seems like there's a butt in here. The problem is that, like, we don't give water off the top. We let you order your drink first, and, like, whatever you order. So you don't provide water.

I sit at your table. There's no water coming? It's just like, no. Correct. The waiter will come right over and be like, what can't get you guys to drink? And then you have your option. Oh. And then if you say water, we bring you a water.

If you say a Coke, we bring you. If you say, I want a Coke, we'll bring you a Coke. And then, like, it's up to you to be like, okay, get a water. And then we'll say, yeah, you guys want to pitch here. and we'll bring over a picture of water. But we don't, like, leave water on the tables. Like, you know what I mean? That's kind of, it's great.

You don't start with water. You don't start with water. Now, do you offer or you kind of hiding it? Like, do the waiter or waitress come over? Like, would you like to get some water before you get started or not? It's based off the waiters. You know, what they want to do when I was waiting, I was a very good waiter. I'd walk over with.

No, I was, no, I was unbelievable. What do you think your average 10%? Did you send a meal down some ladies back with him? 22%. Did you send a meal down some ladies back one time? Chicken Picada, right down the bare bag. That's just a numbers thing. That's going to happen.

Yeah, that was a number thing. It's true. She got up during a, we were real busy. She got up, it slipped right down her bare back. I, uh, on her bare back, down by her ass. I got, I, uh, I wrecked the car, work in valet one time, backed right into another car. There you go. In the valet.

She's a number of cars. You're going to hit a car. Um, but yeah, when I was a waiter, I'd bring over it. I'd, like, bring over bread with a nice little olive oil thing. I put the olive oil and then put the balsamic in the middle of the olive oil and it creates a little circle. I dressed it up. And I brought water over, too. Oh, you did bring water.

But there's some waiters that just don't do it because it's not protocol of Borrellas to start off of water. So it's based off the waiter. And somehow that turned into we charge for water. That is the, that's kind of the narrative, you know, around the office. So you charge for water, that's pretty aggressive. I'm going to say maybe $3 million for Tiger's Putter. It's got to be up there, man. It's one of the best pieces of, I've totally switched on this.

It's one of every, imagine you go watch every clip of Tiger. It's one of the most iconic. Oh, I have that putter is right there. What? It's one of the most iconic golf. Sport equipment. Yes. Tiger over the last like 30 years is like the number one athlete.

So what if Bay Ruth's like Batko for? Yeah. So Babe Ruth 1920 Jersey. You're already on that? You have good facts. Good facts. That's amazing. That was unreal by me.

1920 Jersey. Babe Ruth went for $4.4 million. That's the highest. That's got some historic value. Most expensive piece of sports memorabilia ever sold. What is like a Bobby Joe? I think that putter is about four and a half. I would say it's probably on par with something like that.

Here's the other one. When did it go for that? James Naismith's 1891 rules of basketball, 4.3 million. Holy shnicki. Just like all the rules? The original rules, like when basketball was created by James name. I think that's even a little cooler than Tiger. Yeah.

Sick league. But I think, I think three is the minimum and I wouldn't be surprised if it was higher. Yeah. Yeah, I agree. I think the NBA is a joke. I wish that book up in a way. So stupid. The NBA?

Yeah. I don't like much. You imagine. You guys don't like the NBA? Can you imagine sitting there and watching a full? What the fuck is going on in here? Can you imagine sitting there watching a full season of the NBA? Like, being a Nick fan.

I'm a Nick fan. I just think about a game like 32. Yeah, it's like... And you're in the second quarter. It's the most careless points I've ever seen. And nothing matters until the end of the season. Why do hockey fans hate basketball? Because all the games result in the same thing.

The better team wins with the better player. And at the end of the day, the Golden State Wars will be in the championship. And the Lebron-led team will always be good. There's no parody in that. They're not having the playoffs this year. And it's like a biggest story that he, like, the end of the bench and it's all about the other bullshit. Like the one year he doesn't make it, it's all about the other stuff.

Let me say this. You get off of your guys's lawns. Jesus Christ. I don't like the NBA. However, I am not a, I am not a hater like these guys are. Yeah. I think, I wish I liked the NBA. I've tried to like the NBA and like basketball.

It's so boring. I have nothing against people that do. I find it unbelievably boring. That's coming from a golf podcast. That makes more sense to me than whatever jibbish came out of Frankie's mouth about the NBA two minutes ago. A lot of gibberish coming out of here, but I think it's pretty strongly about it.

Yeah, basketball is a little boring to me, and I just, yeah, early to the middle season where you're just in the second quarter, it just feels incredibly careless. Like the last three minutes are going to decide at any tight game. It's just, it's, yeah. I think the difference, too, with hockey is that hockey is just so fast, and like a regular game in third, game 32 is like worth two points as opposed to like one long game. You know what I mean?

Like it's just different. There's no point systems, is there? What? Or do they just do, they might just do win losses, don't they? They just do record, because there's no O.T. Yeah, but there's no, um. Each win matters.

Like, yeah. I know, but I'm just saying, like, there's just, like, a game 32 just feels more important. I don't know why, just because it's worth, like, because you like that's important more than the other one. Yeah, I think I'm with trying to get on this one out. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I agree.

Yeah, maybe the answer. Let's go to, uh, Nick here. We got Nick. Switch this up. Nick says, uh, this is, Nick says to save your life, you need a pro golfer to birdie the 15th hole of Bethpage Black. Who are you taking?

Must be a current pro. Also, the pro is aware of the situation. Now, for anybody who doesn't know, 15th old Bethpage Black, it's, I don't know, what's call it, a 480-yard, 4 and 70-yard par 4. The hardest holes in the world. Little dog leg left, narrowest fairway you've ever fucking seen. Narrowest little strip of fairway. Green, elevated, bunkers cover it that look like a goddamn dungeon.

When you're walking up and it looks like one of the scenes in the movie where it keeps getting longer. Like, you're walking up the fairway, and you're walking up the fairway, and you like I can't believe we're not closer to the green yet. Yep. If you miss the fairway, you can't even hit the ball anywhere near the green because the rough's so brutal. I've never hit the fairway once. Now, I want to say this.

First of all, I don't know how I got myself in this situation. It's a terrible situation to be in because that hole is not a birdie hole. No. Second of all, I think I'm taking, and I read this before this past weekend, but I'm taking Rory McElroy. Wow, even with the putter. And here's why. You literally, if you don't. hit that fairway, you're literally not even in the contention. It's over. There's a 0.000

0% chance that you can make a bird. You're dead. So you have to hit the fairway. Now, I'm not going to be pumped when Roy's got 15 feet. But he's still got the chance. And there's somebody's going to go a gun up to my fucking pimple, which is a very vulnerable part of your brain. A button that just turns you off. It's just the minute that rolls by the hole. What does it do to a vein? There's a vein. And then the shards from the skull fracture that go to the Bull, you're going to die. Yeah, you're dead. So, no, I'm not feeling great about it, but I think the reason I take Roarie, you've got to be in the fairway.

Like, no offense to my guy, Tiger, but I think, like, literally half a second after he makes contact with the golf ball, I'm out. Like, it's a good chance I could be out. You'll know. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Like, if he just one hand finish, I'm dead. Like, I'm just, yeah, I'm done.

I'm, like, just put it in my brain now. I don't want to watch the rest of this. I'm, uh, I'll take DJ. Shit. He's going to put it in the fairway. It's going to be way down there. and it says the pro will be aware of the situation, Dustin's not going to care.

Good point. He's just going to have nothing going on up there. He's just going to be like, this is just a regular hole. I'm going to blast the ball down there. It's going to land on the fairway, wedge it in, make it, it's over. He's going to be like, what kind of deal did you strike up? Who cares? It can't be.

All right. We get a few putts and shots the other day and just gave the most careless waves I've ever seen. That's really it. DJ is my pick. I don't doubt about it. I do like that. I'm going to go try it on this one, DJ. Drives the ball well.

He's got a chance to make a shot. He's a good putter too. It's a pretty good punter. Although he's not wrong. He can subdue the situation. He has had 8,000 putters in his bag this year, though. Yeah. You know, so every time they cut to him, he's got a new putter.

I haven't noticed that, but I'm going to keep my eye. Oh, wait until you notice it. It's going to drive you crazy. Switches all the time. I'm talking Friday, Saturday, Sunday. He'll have a different putter. That's insane. I don't understand it.

Yeah, they took my answer, but I'm now going to go on to the $3 million putter man. I'm going to go to Tiger Woods. I mean, he is a weapon. He's a monster. He's a machine. him being aware of the situation helps. Oh, yeah. One of the greatest Tiger Club twirls of all time is on 15 at Beth Page Black.

There's a clip from the 2002 U.S. Open when he wins there. And he steps up, I think he pulls three wood there. It could have been Pierce Simmon Woods back in the day, so it didn't look like a normal driver these days with the giant heads. But there is a clip from Tiger Woods hitting a T shot in the final round of the 2002 US Open at Beth Page Black on the 15th tee. And he fucking rips this three wood, I believe. and he twirls the club.

It's the cockiest thing I've ever seen. You cannot have less than an eight-inch dick and twirl the club like he does in this video. So he does have good history of that. And the thing is, for me, is that, like, Tiger really hasn't. I mean, he won last year at the end of the year. But there hasn't been that moment waiting for it where Tiger, like, I guess when he was, like, when he was really going up the ranks in the open that when we were like, oh, my God, Tiger's going to do it and he's going to, like, turn on the Jets.

But, like, I feel like when he hasn't been in that. moment where it's like tiger has to do this and he's going to go back into that moment where it's like if he doesn't fucking make a bird here i'm dead and that's going to bring him back to like 2000 tiger where he was like an absolute savage where every single moment was he was zeroing in on shit like i think that i guess my point is like that is going to bring him back that the how serious that is going to if you're picking him that's that's what you got to feel yes you got to hope that he's doing that club twirl with a club as far away from his body as possible and does those unbelievable club twirls. Wait till you guys see this. You're not going to believe this. It looks great.

His pants are baggy. This is 15. That's what you know it's good tiger with his pants are massive. Huge tuit. It looks like MC. It looks like MC Hammer out there. Watch this. Now wait, wait for it. Oh, he released it like it was a fucking three-point. Oh my God. It was. It was a three-pointer. You're right. Wait, wait for this again. We're going to re-watch it again. Oh my God. A little flick of the wrist. That was a flick of the wrist. So you're giving me that guy.

Yeah, it's hard not to take that guy. I hate to give basketball a shout out there too. Yeah. You did. Three-pointer. Bummer. You love basketball. That's weird that you gave that shout out there.

Don't like the NBA. I like basketball if that makes any sense. Yeah, that does. Yeah, you like the basketball. It's not the NBA. Yeah, it's fine. Yeah. I like Marsh Mountain.

You like college basketball is fun. You know what I like college basketball? It's 40 minutes. It's quick pace. Quick. They play defense. Yeah. Quick pace.

Like a lot of like, they don't play it great. A lot of moments that when you're watching it, like with a big crew, like, places is going crazy. Like, college basketball is like, there's a lot of craziness. Like, you can watch out of bar in this fucking crazy shit happening. Those are beaters. Huge mistakes, too.

I love them. They make huge mental errors. You got Dickie V. Fucking worse is when a basketball game comes, an NBA game comes to the end, and you know that the last minute is going to take 15 or 20 minutes. because all they're going to do is take their seven timeouts and every single time they're going to foul the guy. It's the worst.

I agree. Fuck you. And then the last thing I want to say is you just wouldn't, you get that out, Frank? You feel good? I bested him earlier and he was lashing out that thing. The last thing I want to say is you just wouldn't believe how many people called me by a nickname when they email this. All right, that's the show. What do you guys usually do?

You usually say that thing? And we're not going to do this again. Riggs- Thermal Cup. Come on. I'm not going to listen to the rest of these. I'm honestly too hungry. So Riggsie put together like an agenda and a kind of outline for the show. And he literally has nicknamed people are now calling me.

Rigsie commercials? What commercial have you done? What up Rigsie commercials? Where are you seeing that? Well, his question was about a commercial. We didn't get to that one. Yeah, yeah. Let them deliver.

Rigsie Banger. Yeah, Rigsie bangers. They're waiting for the play. Riggs'i heartburn. One of my favorites. So that guy tweeted that at me when I didn't get the over on the balls of the ball. He just responded Riggsie heartbreak. That's a great one.

That's maybe my favorite. All right. It's ridiculous. The whole thing is ridiculous. It's great. I mean, we appreciate all the emails from all you guys. Riggsie White T's one guy called me because I got into it with that golf hardo.

Oh, big shout out to Sam, who's the guy that I got into it with. Which is also his name. Which is also Riggs's name. I'm not shouting myself out. That guy, remember we did the whole golf hardo? Remember we did? I don't email myself. Remember we did the whole golf hardo thing last time when I kind of buried that guy?

well, I did a little bit of a dive. It turns out that guy had tweeted a couple months ago. He quote tweeted one thing that we put out and was like, got retweeted by the four-play boys, like, best day of my life. And then he had tweeted after listening to our show and been like, turns out four-play guys hate me. I felt terrible. Just terrible.

So shout out to Sam. I was going, again, I did a little research, went through some of his tweets. The guy, really, I think he was just trying to like bust our balls. And then I just kind of went nuclear on him. So Sam, shout out to Sam, listen out there. I apologize. I feel bad. I don't apologize.

Riggsie regret. Riggsie regret. That's a good one, chance. Did you not get that the first time? Yes. You had to do it. You had to, like, save yourself and then Rietz. It was like one of those, like I had to nod it as I was saying.

Behind the green, behind the scenes. Behind the scenes. That's how I do it, obviously. Yeah, maybe it's a condition. That got really serious. Maybe it's a condition. Maybe it is a condition. I don't know, Doc.

Maybe it's a condition. I've got a real problem. What's up, Doc? That's Frankie sympathy over there. Frankie's in a dude All right Folks, we'll be back for Behind the Greens On Thursday's edition of the show
