Find yourself some T-Times. We love you, Spring Golf. They love us. Okay. A couple other housekeeping things. and producer Andrew's dead Yeah, rest in peace Well, actually

I hate to laugh But that man is By the time that comes out Actually may be dead Right, that would be very We all could be We'll cut this if he actually does Yeah, we

Yeah, he is He's not in the room We got producer Jake in here with us But when we first got to Royal Melbourne today The first thing I saw Producer Andrew do In the walk in

He's puking his guts out It was He's puking up a bunch of orange juice He's peaking up a storm Right in the parking lot At Royal Melbourne He was pretty quiet about it In the car

I didn't say anything about it Nothing. I think he was trying to power through it. Maybe he was just thinking like, all right, maybe it'll once I get out of the car, I'll be better. He got worse. Much worse. He got worse. We got the Tiger Woods video and we were laughing afterwards that he, you know, he's almost like in Harry Potter where it's like in order to finally conquer the final like boss and get to that point.

He had to exert all imaginable energy and everything from within. And once he filmed that video of us being, you know, real jacked up with Tiger Woods, all. Every part of his body was then depleted and he no longer can function. And he just went back to the media center and put his head down on a table and sat there for hours. We didn't notice him. Just staring towards the wall. Trent and I walked into the cafeteria where the food is in the media center. We had no idea who was there.

He was just face down in the table. Yeah, so our guy, Andrew's not feeling great. Producer Jake goes, oh, my God. And we were like, what? He was like, turn around. And then Andrews just sitting there face down in the table. Tough. It's very tough.

He hate to laugh. He got us. He got through it, though. he's got a flu bug he's got a food poisoning he's got something and it hit him a few hours ago so he is he is battling through pray for producer andrew you know i think that's going to happen like to at least one person on a trip like this we got six guys we're coming to uh you know we're coming all the way to australia at one point somebody's going to get sick if something whether it's a snake bite or it's just you know something as simple as car sickness or a bug like he has

and you guys all you guys did you guys eat the same food as him last night yeah yeah yeah Yeah. All right. Everybody's okay. I've been crushing vitamin C chewables, though. Okay, that's good. So I feel strong. Yeah.

You feel like a superhero? Yes. You're crushing up of those. You get superpowers? He doesn't there last night, right? Now he left before dinner. Oh, okay. He had a producer Jake saying he had a wrap with meats and cheeses and that might do it to you.

When did he have this wrap? At the bar. Oh, he did? Watch party. Oh, at the watch party. Gotcha. He was just back over there? Yeah.

Well, he doesn't have a mic, so I wanted everybody know what they're saying. No, that's good. That's professional. Yeah. That's how this works. I'm a professional. He is now, he's in a situation where he is T minus three days where he must get better. Because in three days, you all have a 24-hour trek back to the United States of America.

Correct. So he cannot be sick for that. He has to be healthy. Correct. And we're also going to Tasmania in like seven hours. I don't think Tasmania is where you go to get healthy. No. I can't think there's a influx of doctors on Tassie.

So he's throwing up in the car. He can barely like walk and he's going to get on like a little proper. plane over like this could be a ocean into tasmania and then we're going to walk a golf course is going to film it all edit it and like do the whole thing i mean come on god's blessed this flight could be horrible you know what's great though we met tiger woods again today we dapped them up we saw high to him and that's all that fucking matters andrew i don't give a fuck sorry nothing else in my nothing in my world matters right now i do think they're part of it where he got the video and then he just dropped his knees he did everything he did it is his video

that everyone is now seeing that has hundreds of thousands of views so shout out to Andrew. He gave it as all. Huge job. Huge job. He did. He left it all out there. He got the shot, which is really what he's here to do. And now he has three days where he must get better because a long track home. He can't be sick for that. So pray for Andrew. Melbourne meetup. We had a big meet up yesterday at the Great Northern Hotel. I thought maybe three people would show up. Dozens of people showed up. It was stunning. Different waves of people came throughout the day. At one point, once the golf finished up, there was just a packed bar.

He couldn't tell who was who, who was there for this, that. One guy drove eight hours from a town that I can't remember. I can never come up in the name of that town. But he drove eight hours from there to have a couple of pints with us. It was insane. The fact that we're on the other side of the planet, planet Earth, we're in Australia. And we're just in, like, Frankie keeps saying, a random town in Australia. Like, it's not like this was just, Australia is just, like, one central location.

And everyone in Australia can just, like, arrive and come say hi. we're in like a specific town city in australia melbourne and we just had a bunch of people show up it's insanity so yeah we're on the whole other side of the world and we say we're going to this one random hotel so like anyone that's like available to come to that hotel at that moment and also be a four play listener has to come so like it's so finite it's almost like i mean we are huge in the northeast but like if we ever do like a meetup at like a random bar on like a sunday for football it's like those lists like barstool listeners and barstool fans stretch across the whole world but like you are targeting like one one group of people that live around that street that like have

that sunday off and that can come for a couple hours like we did that in a fucking random bar in australia we got 30 to 40 people show up the more i thought about the watch party before happened the worst idea i thought it was i thought it was a terrible idea to do it because i was like we're going to go there and one person's going to show up maybe i really thought it was like this is setting ourselves up for failure to literally go as far as away as possible and to be like all right people show up if you can and but you guys are right like 30 40 people showed up and they couldn't have been nicer great they're huge fans like they know everything about they know Dave they know the pizza reviews they know everything about bar still they're like

so ingrained in it like they know they know all the inside jokes like where you station love you stuff like they're doing all that shit so it was really cool thanks to everybody who came out A big thank you. Thanks to all the listeners. You guys are fucking awesome. We're going to be able to do this without you. And then we wouldn't be able to do the really, really cool shit, which happened today, which I'm sure you've seen, which is our latest Tiger Woods video.

Tigers play an Abraham Answer. Dustin. I think he won four and two with a walk-off birdie on the 16th hole. We're standing by the green. Tiger's got the red sweater on. He's the captain of the team. He led with himself. Abraham Answer a couple weeks or a couple months ago said that he wanted Tiger Woods.

and singles. He got him. Tiger said afterwards, Abe wanted it and he got it, which is exactly correct. He took his hat off before the ball even went in the hall. Dude, they asked him the question in the press conference afterwards. Like,

hey, did you see the comments from Abraham answer? Like, did that moment? And he said, yep. Like, before he even like finished it,

he was like, yep, that's, yeah, I obviously saw the comments, I'm Tiger fucking Woods. And if he wants to come against me, bring it on and I'm going to beat you four and two.

That's what happened. I think it was four and two because I don't know that Abraham answer, he was three up through 15 on the 16th. And then he just basically answered couldn't beat him on that hole because he was in for a three. Right. So I don't know how the technical score. I could just look at the website right now. In fact, that's exactly what I'm going to do.

I'm just looking at the website. Three and two. So I guess they concede answers putt technically. It's good. Because why not? Doesn't matter. captain he didn't play all day Saturday which we'll get to which was crazy town because of how well he'd been playing he was two and oh going into that point he's been playing awesome golf he won the zozo

he almost won the hero and then he was two and oh going into saturday didn't play all day Saturday leads with himself on Sunday goes out gets the win in a pretty fucking convincing fashion yeah plays great golf walks off now at this point a little behind the scenes is like you know we know that any interaction with tiger is going to be king that's going to move the needle that's going to drive it everyone's going to go crazy so we're constantly trying to position ourselves how can we make this happen we're networking we're talking with this guy robbie mac who we've talked about a lot we're saying hi to joey la cabba whenever we can who's the fucking man uh who we're very tight with and we're just kind of we're being around we're trying to be in the right spots now after this

put drops it's fucking pandemonium everybody's going crazy tiger's like hugging everybody all his whole crew the girlfriend mark steinberg like everybody's there he's given the hugs steve sans is there gives them the interview. And at this point, we're kind of like, we're kind of like cut loose a little bit by the tour and the regulations where they're like, yeah, this is kind of the media scrum now. Like, whatever you can get, you can get. And it's looking really good at this point. For the first time all week, it's looking like really good that we're going to get something with time.

We're finally, Tiger's finally in a good mood because before that, you know, the team's losing. Everybody's not playing all that great. And it's kind of like, all right, he's the captain of the team, but his team's going to lose and it's going to look like shit. He was giving an interview and they, and the PGA tour, directed us to stand. They're like, come over here. And at one point, we were just standing in the line

as if, like, we were just going to be next. Like, he's like, all doing this NBC hit and he's just going to come right to you and you're next. And we were like, holy shit, we were all standing in the line. Like, it's fucking happening. And for me, it's my first time. So I was going nuts.

You guys had even probably more control than I did because I was like, I don't know. It's not happening in my throat. It was crazy. I was so excited at that moment. And we're standing on the fucking green on the 16th hole. Huge amphitheater. We know the TV cameras are on.

tens of thousands of people probably around or 10,000 people, whatever it is around. 90% of the matches are still going on. Like guys are still hitting into the 16th. Yeah. And we're just on the green, like right next to Tiger in line. It's fucking pandemonium. It's very, things are happening. PJ tour guys like us over there.

We're like, okay. We're thinking we're going to. Then like one of Tigers guys is like, all right, that's it. He puts the headset on, the wire. He says, I'm back on comm. I'm back on comm. Yeah.

Dead series, he says I'm back on comm. Just didn't even like, that care about anyone that, like, heard him or, like, was around him. He just put this little earpiece right in his head. She goes, back on comms. And then he was like, and then his first thing after that was, like, Stricker on 16, like, like trying to, like, organize where the other captains were. Totally.

Bang, bang. I've got a plan. I won my match. Oh, he's back on comm. Nobody loves. Yeah, back on cam. Didn't want it a beat answer, I think, as quickly as possible, to have that and be a captain again. and navigate around the course of the

Nobody loves talking into like headsets and listening to like radio frequencies more than Tiger Woods It just brings them to a place that he always wanted to be in Every time you sign on Combs Chopper 4 to 5 coming in on it's like Oh fuck Every time you sign on a 4 tonight you should be You should be like I'm back on comms

If you don't think that I am Leading with Back on Combs Every time I turn my mic on you're fucking insane It's good you have to I'm back on Coms right now So we just were back on Coms from the last podcast So Tiger was back on Coms And at that moment, the attitude shifted.

Like, his team kind of was like, that's it, and ushered people out of the way. So then even the tour guys are kind of looking at us. Like, I think you need to go stand over there. So then we go stand over on the opposite side that we were. And then Tiger ends up changing directions and going right where we were standing previously. We're like, fuck, we're like. You're chasing them. We're chasing.

And again, now, like, typically we fucking walk on eggshells. Like, we're trying to like tiptoe around and navigate, do it politically right? We don't want to piss off Tiger and his team. We don't want to be too aggressive. We don't be those guys that, like, are in his fucking face all time. But also, like, we want to be in his face enough that we can get what we need to get. So we're trying to navigate those waters. And then he walks away, walks, like, off the green.

And it's looking like he's going to fucking disappear. It would be like, it was a layup. We were going to have the moment. The moment was there. It was for the taking. It's horrifying to recount this, to be quite honest. Dude, because it changed. You shrunk an inch with the pressure.

Yeah, yeah. Because it changed so fast. Like Riggs is saying, we're literally standing there. and he's doing his NBC hit his you know his worldwide hit or whatever and like frankie said we are standing there it's like he's just going to come over there and then it felt like the like we got shifted to the other side of the world and now tiger is over there and it's just like that was it was a layup and now we're just not going to get anything but luckily he turned around and we knew the vibe was so clearly like if he sees us we'll get something yeah like we have right we have enough

recognition with him and we're around enough that like we know if he sees us he's in such a good mood that we'll get it we'll get something we know that but we need to make sure that like he sees us without us basically fucking barreling him over right so then he goes over and he starts like uh kind of like whoop it up with the u.s fans who there's a big crew of u.s fans there chant and sing and doing their thing whatever and that was like just off the side of the green so now we kind of move over between the u.s fan situation that he's in and the green and we're like we don't really know what's going to happen and then it happens really quick he fucking turns around yep Trent daddy at this point had gone from sort of like tentative, passive,

to like you were stopping around and you were like, we're gonna fucking get this. You were pushing people out of the way. Well, I didn't fly all the way across the world to not get a fist bump from Tiger Woods. That's all it really comes down to. Like, I knew our opportunities. We're slipping through our fingers,

and it's Sunday now. It was Sunday. It's like, we're not going to get any more opportunities. He's going to go do his captain thing and who knows what happens from there on. So I just jumped in there. I jumped in, game of fist bump, and it just started down the line.

And we were cooking. Yeah. So he starts kind of like walking up the hill back towards us. We're all like, oh, he's coming. He's coming. And I guess it was more just like whatever formation we were in at that point. That's just what it was going to be. He walks by.

We look at him. Trent's first. He fist bumps Trent. Yep. I'm second. He fist pumps me. Then gives like a little second point. Yeah.

Like he like, oh, I recognize that. Oh, yeah. A little like second one. Let's go. All right. Now let's stop right there. Yep. Frankie Borelli is next in line.

All right. Let me ask the room. There's a little gap, though, even. There's a little gap where producer Jake was holding the camera phone. And if he had, if Tiger Woods had just gone left, Lurch and Frankie Borelli would have had no interaction with Tiger Lutz. It would have been left hanging, which would have been one of the funnier clips. It's hysterical. It would have been so funny.

But instead, he jumps over the gap, gets to Frankie. And Frankie, what do you do? I dab them up like a motherfucker. After two fist bumps, you changed what was happening and you decided to dab him up. I've been thinking about this for so long that like our next interaction with Tiger Woods, like I've asked you this. Is it going to be a handshake? Is it going to be a fist bump?

Is it going to be a tap up? We now have to know. We now live in a world in which we are going to be interacting with Tiger for a second, a third time, right? Like it's not it's not just like, hey, nice to meet your Barstil Sports. It's like, hey, remember us from US Open? Like I'm going to fucking dab you up. Right.

That's what that's my vibes. So like I've been thinking about that so much. And when I saw him come up, I noticed he fist bumped you. I noticed he fist bump rigs and split second thinking. I saw him give Riggs that point and I'm like, he knows where he's at right now. He remembers us real quick. And I just lifted up my hand and I'm like,

come on in, buddy. Like, let's go. And I said, let's fucking go. And I just like gave it to him. It popped and he locked it. It popped. He looked at me. He like gave just like a little nod and then just walked on.

And it was the best thing that's ever happened. You went on. My fist was right there. Well, yeah, I'm saying. You know what I mean? He moved down the line. So yeah, because then Lurch gave him fistbones. Who went to the grip,

DAP, fist bump. I mean, that's, that's, that's, that's, someone tweet, someone tweeted I mean that it was the biggest, uh, gamble it's ever been happening. I would argue you leading with the DAP is one of the most reckless moves I've ever seen. It's,

it's either, it's either it was the best thing that's ever happened to me or the worst thing. There is no in between. If he fist bumps my open hand or if he just, I don't think I get a fist bump after that. No, no, it ruins the whole situation.

And also it ruins like my life, right? For the rest of my life, that's all I hear about. People coming up to me just like messing up handshap. like me having the cockiness to come at Tiger fucking Wood. This is Tiger Woods. Who the fuck do I think I am? Who is the death do you think you are?

To death this guy up. Fist bumps are low risk, right? He knows how to do that. That's quick. It's easy. You just keep it moving. That's what he wanted. He initiated the fist bump.

Yes. Yes. He punched my hand so hard I thought my knuckle was going to break. Which would have been awesome. Which would have been, I never would have got a fixed. Right. You just keep it broken. Yeah.

So then how low risk fist bumps are. And then think about and how much. that's like what he's expecting. So then to dab him up after two fist bumps is, I watched the video back and I get like nervous because I'm watching you dab him up. And it was so clean. It was clear.

We didn't do the connection to the handshake. It was the dapped and then the release. That's another part of the risk is like, do you keep it going? The exit part of it could have been a train. The exit was so could have been, which is great. I know.

You're bringing in risk at the beginning and at the end. It shows how aware of that dude is. Oh, he's so aware. Because when we were watching him watch others hit golf balls into the, you know, the floating island. Yeah. It was amazing how intent he was on everybody's swing. Big time. That guy doesn't miss a beat anywhere in his life.

No. You literally were thinking pound. You just opened up your palm and said, come on in, Tiger. And he caught that within a split second, did it perfectly. And then punched my hand and walked off. And then transitioned back to pound for lurch. Yes. Yes.

He went pound, pound, dap, pounds. Yes. Who does that? Think about how horrible it would have been. Had the video come out and he's going down the line and it's pound, pound, just like a wet splash on my hand and then pound. And I'm just down there like, oh, you know, I would fall over. I would be thinking about it my whole life. Like that was the moment.

But instead it popped. I brought him in a little bit too. Like it was a little close. It was just a moment. It's just like you fucking did it, Tiger. You won. It was like we interlocked hands. And like I have that picture now forever.

We did. There's a picture of Tiger and me just interlocking hands for. I was moment in time. I know, you know, I'm like staring so excited. Lurch is just next, like, waiting to, like, in line to touch this mythical creature. Like, we're at some, like, fucking. It was crazy. We're at the gates of heaven and, like, God is walking out.

We all just want a piece of it. I know the outcome of the video, and I still get nervous every single time. Like, don't fuck it up. What you're saying? Like, he sees the world through Iron Man's glasses. Right. With every, all the calculations. And it gives them all the calculations and all that.

That's how Tiger sees the world. We mere mortals see it just, you know how you see it. You're listening to this. You're one of us. You just see it pretty much in fast motion. You can't tell everything looks cluttered. It's a train wreck. You could go fucking pound, fist, pound, dab, it would be a train wreck.

Not Tiger Woods. Calculation. This guy's dapp is dapped. Back to the pound. On to the comms. I'm back on comms. It's just like that's how he works. Well, the best things that were happening to me.

So Lurch. As a crew. Now let's get to Lurch's. Lurch's pounds. And then you said out loud. Great one, Tiger. Great one. Great one.

A couple meanings in that. Yeah. Obviously great match. Great one. Great win. He is the great one. Yeah. Works.

I mean, it works a thousand. You know what it is? That was a good one for you because that's like your go-to line. I feel like a couple times there's been good shots and you said great one. Like that's like a like great job. You say great one. So that rolled right off the tongue. I mean, I blocked out pretty much.

I didn't even realize that was just natural. People tweeted at it after being like I can't. Did Lurch actually just say great one? So many meanings. Yes. It was it was so you too. And it also comes off as very casual. Like you're just like, great one.

Yeah. Great one. That's it. Yeah, great one. Simple. So simple. It's like a tree that sprouts. There's so many different ways that could go.

Where my voice goes, you know? It just carries on. Yeah, your voice is the only one heard, like, in the whole thing. Out of all of us here, and I know that he noticed, like, he gave the point to Riggs, but you were the only person he couldn't avoid just because of the way you look. He couldn't walk by you without acknowledging you. Totally. He had to do something.

It would have been the rudest thing. Like, it's more rude to walk by you than me just because, like, maybe you didn't see me. You, it's like this giant tree. For you, it's impossible for him to miss you. Yeah. Impossible. There's a lot of truth to that. Yeah.

So, Lurch, how was your first interaction with him? Yeah. It was quick. Very quick. How do you feel about it? Spectacular. It was great.

I mean, he's so cool. It's like everybody grew up watching Tiger, winning. Like, he's not believable what he's accomplished and what he's been through in his life. And just to dab or, you know, pound him or whatever, pound him sounds a little weird. But to give him a little fist out. Yeah, exactly. It's just something really cool. It's a life moment for sure.

I think that's what I put in my Instagram. He's mythical. He's a mythical creature. I mean, yeah, he's so entertaining, so captivating. It's just cool, you know, support the boss. Hundreds and hundreds of years from now if this world's still spinning. Hopefully, Andrew's part of it for the next couple weeks. People are going to be just talking about Tiger Woods.

He's the only person like around right now who's people will be talking about in a couple hundred years. Like there's ever, there's celebrities, there's other athletes. He's the one. Right, he'll stay on the test of time. Because, and we've talked about it a million times, it's like because of everything. Like he'd had the scandals and he's been just in the news for like years upon end. And then the sports, like the sports side, he's the best of all time. It's just.

Didn't he say in his closing oppressor? He's like, yeah, Els and I have been back and forth at this for the last 25 years or something like that, which is just ridiculous. It's also amazing. What's just for it? Oh, he's talking about Michael Jordan. Jake's off of Mike saying Michael Jordan's bigger. I just disagree. Yeah, I disagree as well.

Because I don't argue with somebody who doesn't have a mic. thing you're not going to get a mic either we're not going to give it to you because we don't care about your point because the only reason the only reason we don't care about your point is because you don't agree with this correct that's the thing i like to do your point sucks Yep. Here's the thing that I'll say about that is that, like, Michael Jordan is the best of all time. But when you think of basketball as a whole, I think some people, especially in this generation, can think, like, all right, like, the first name of possibly has, like, LeBron James or Kobe Bryant or, or, like, Larry Bird. Like, you know what I mean? Like, there's certain names that, like, reach his level of, like, they took over the sport. Like, LeBron James has taken over this era of the sport.

Right. He's just the guy. He's number fucking one. Like, that's all you think about is LeBron. He's the fucking biggest guy of all time. And when you think of golf, like, yeah, there's Donald Palmer. Yes, this is jazz. but Tiger is golf.

It's just he's taking it over. He is. Tiger has done more for golf than anyone else is done for any sport. Correct. He is golf. Like,

there are other guys that may be better, like had a better career, whatever. You can make the argument and other guys that have transformed the sport, but he is the sport now.

I don't know. I don't, that doesn't take anything away from Jack or Arnold. Like, Tiger's just been that big because of social media and all this other stuff. He's fucking massive.

He's a billionaire. He was the first billionaire athlete, right? was he not sure sure you're amongst friends it's either him or Michael Jordan he was I mean before everything happened I'm pretty sure he had a bill

And we're now entering a phase with Tiger Woods Where we don't know what's going to happen Like we thought this was over Some people thought it was over This is all candy Right This is all gravy It's all extra

Lollies what they call it here in Australia A lollies a couple years ago people were like And they said it at the press or two Like people didn't know if Tiger's ever gonna be able to play golf again And some people are like All the legacy's already there He's got 14 majors

He's won all these tournaments, but now he's just reemerged as he's playing captain at the, uh, at the President's Cup. He just won the Masters. He just won the Zosso. And we could go anywhere from here. He's the best player on the golf course. Yes.

Yes. There was a tournament with 24 of the best players in the world at one of the most iconic courses in the world for the last four days for last week, really. And Tiger Woods was the best one. He was the only one with a perfect record. No, he was phenomenal. And it was with ease. And it looks great.

His ability to dominate via match play is insane to me. Like mentally, he is, he's perfect. And Abraham, like, came after him with, I think, like, I guess you have to have that sort of confidence to play against him. You have to be like, hey, I'm playing against this guy. So I can't just think, like, I'm not equal to him or he's like this godlike figure. I'm going to fucking beat him. But, like, you just can't. Like, he's going to cry.

I wrote maybe one of my favorite tweets of all time. I said, Abraham Answer, crumbled at the feet of the mythical creature that is Tiger Woods. That's what happened. Like, yeah, you can come after him. Yeah, you may be able to fight him up the steps to the Greek home that Tiger Woods rests his head in. But, like, at the end of the day, you're going to. You're in deep. You're looking at the temple.

Brother, you're in deep. Buddy, we're going to actually, we're going to leave you alone here. The Greek temple. The Greek temple. Right? Fine. Whatever. Totally fine.

Keep rolling. And you get to a certain step and you just evaporate because you can't make it there, you know? You're not allowed there. You're not at that level, you know? Right. Outside the home, you mean? Outside the home, you mean? Can't get all the way up the steps.

Outside the Greek home? Greek home. Tell me more about the Greek homes. Are like a patio? There's a Tiziki sauce and a ton of fucking lamb chops. You know when I pictured home in my head, I saw this huge fucking, what is it called? Like the Parthenon. That's what I pictured, and I said home.

Home. Like in my brain, I pictured Tiger Woods like fighting's on with a sword going up the steps of the Parthana. And I just said Greek home. I would say answer had a dream week. I mean, he was phenomenal on the golf course, played really, really well, made all kinds of putts from everywhere. I mean, that would be a dream to play against Tiger Woods. He just put off a little bit more than he could chew.

He's big time. He had a great week. And he asked for it and Tiger gave it to him. Also, when you give a quote like that, like, and you're just waking up a beast. Like, if he's not perfectly focused on you and you give a quote, like, I want this guy, you better be ready because as soon as you do that, it's waking up all of Tiger's perfect Iron Man senses to just destroy you. Yeah.

What do they say? Don't pull on Superman's cape. Don't talk on Superman's cape. Don't do that. That's what Japan said. After Pearl Harbor, they said, I fear we've just awoken a sleeping giant. Yes. That's what Abraham Answer did.

Yep. And he got the business today. God, he was good. I would like really quickly to talk about one of our favorite drinks on the planet, and that's Truly Hard Seltzer. Nice. They're one of our favorite sponsors. I cannot wait to get back to the States, sit down on my couch,

to watch President's Cup highlights over and over and over again at Tiger and his red sweater, and sip some wildberry, truly hard seltzer, some raspberry, some blueberry, some black cherry. You know what? All that makes up, the berry pack. The berry pack is my favorite one. It's my favorite pack out of all the delicious truly hard zeltzers. That one is my favorite. Tropicals great, too.

Citrus, great. Watermelon, Kiwi, great. All this stuff's very, very good. Truly, it's very refreshing. It's an alternative to beer cocktails. Only got 100 calories, 5% ABV, and only one gram of sugars gives you a perfect amount of alcohol while keeping calories low.

Official sponsor of the Barstool Classic this year. So they're fantastic. Get yourself. Truly Hard Seltzer, bring it out on the course with you, throw it in your fridge when you get home from work. Maybe if you want to have a drink before work, maybe you got to take a little stress off. Maybe you got a big presentation. I don't know.

I don't really know what your life is like, but I do know what truly is like, and it's absolutely delightful. It's refreshing. It's only 100 calories. It's 5% ABV. There's only one gram of sugars. So get yourself involved. Tiger Woods.

Another thing about Tiger today, and this is the singles day, is that he was, I feel like, as focused as I've ever seen him. He was just dead serious about winning a golf match today. Dead serious. A ton of times where he would hit a drive and just knife and look for the T and just walk right down the fairway. On one. His first T shot. He never even considered picking up his T.

It was like you can get it, Abe. Like, you know what I mean? Like you're below me. Did it multiple times. You want to clean up the T-box? You pick up that tea. You could tell that there was like that feel, especially with Bryson when he was going down 18. You know, just getting a ton of people like in the crowd that was going to

went after him and then like they hit these drives and and they just walk like faster than the other guy it's like i don't even want to you're in my rear of your mirror like i felt like tiger did that a couple times today too yeah and that's right on the heels of the tony feedow story that that made it out i think golf tv put it out of fiatow talking about at the masters he was of course in the final group the final threesome with uh moanari francesco mollanoi yeah tiger rest in peace tony pha ne't be the same after after what tiger did to me no tiger and i thought i missed i I thought I missed a bit of news. I was like, holy shit, man.

He was on a roll and Tiger just buttered him up and threw him in a toaster. That was like that RIP was like when I was on. That doesn't sound dead. It sounds like it's about to be delicious. I was on Zero Blog 30 on Military Podcasts a couple years ago. And it was like coming up on Arnold Palmer's like a year or two year anniversary or something like that since he had passed. And I was telling Uncle Chaps, who's one of our coworkers. Again, they do the military podcast, Zero Blog 30.

and thanks for your service. Thank you for your service. And we brought that up and he said, oh, was Arnold Palmer play? Thank you. I got to get it on that. You can't move on.

Yeah. I was letting go on. Let me do that. You said it. Frank you looked at me like, you're going to, people are going to tweet at you if you know. You don't say so.

That's why I did it. At least get those couple words in. Thank you for your service. Thank you for your service. And Uncle Chaps, God bless his soul. He goes, oh, there's something going on with Arnold Palmer.

Is he playing his last tournament this week? And I go, no, he died. He's having, it's like, been a couple years it's like an anniversary of his death right and he goes Arnold Palmer died I was like yeah no he died like a couple years ago

and so that RIP made me think of that yeah this is quite different tiger woods not dead very much alive he's back all this is gravy it's it's extra the fact that we get to have witnessed Tiger Woods winning the tour championship with like the happy

Gilmore type scene on 18 when he walked up and the crowd filled in that was insane then he won the masters Then he kind of looked like shit in a lot of tournaments for the rest of the year. We kind of thought, oh, no, maybe that was just like the one tournament that we're going to get or the one major that we're going to get. Then he has his little minor operation, comes back, wins the zozo out of nowhere looking phenomenal a week, almost won the Hero World Challenge. He had the lead on Sunday. And then goes three and oh and was the best player at the tournament at the President's Cup while captaining the team.

So I'm like, I don't know where we really go from here either. I don't know. Should we just expect him to win like two or three majors? What I would say is I'd say it's no most. stake that our biggest year ever coincides with the reemergence of Tiger Woods. Like where this is a golf podcast at the end of the day and the fact that we started off

in April with the Tiger Woods win at the Masters it's just fucking, it just takes off like a rocket. Well golf is much as must watch now. Right. Like even in like my group chat with my buddies like not I mean I know it's the President's Cup and it's a pretty big deal now but like everyone was just glued into this and it was also prime time

and the whole thing. Anytime Tiger Woods is playing it's just must watch stuff. It is. It's not ceremonial anymore. You to be like, all right, he's coming out. Now, there he is. Wow, remember how great he was? Oh, he missed the cut. We're not going to see him.

Now he's just like, he's in their mix. He's always in the mix now. You're watching him do it, right? Like, you're watching him do the thing. Yeah. The thing is he dominates. He's the best player in the world. He plays golf better than anyone else plays golf.

It used to be like, oh, let's get a glimpse at the old guy do in like a victory lap. Yes. You know, and now it's like, no, no, he's like doing it. This is, it's almost identical to when he was 25. He's just the best player. There's a real chance he goes nuts this year because he also is getting that swagger back where like guys that he's playing against are like, well, Tiger showing up to this fucking tournament. He has a good chance to win.

Totally. Which is nerve. The respect is growing every time he hits a golf shot. Yes. Because they're like, holy shit. You know, we didn't see this side of Tiger originally. You know, maybe he was hurt, wasn't playing that well, missed some shots. Now it's just he's flushing the golf ball.

And people like pros have to start to be looking around and be like, oh my God. Like this guy is as a problem. advertised and he's the best in the world and I'm sure he's always looked like this but him on the range now at this point like he's great he's just perfect every swing is perfect he's like he's like too bulky he got too bulky there maybe early on so but now he's just like he's just like he's fit he just watching him hit a ball next to other professionals at the top of their game it's just like that tony phenout clip that came out this morning he just looked at tiger after driver was like oh yeah yeah and tiger's like yeah i'm tiger fucking woods man dude even gary

Gary Woodland was standing next to me yesterday. They both hit him. Gary Woodland's got a great swing. He flushes the golf ball. He was striping it. Striping it. But, I mean, him next to Tiger was like, it wasn't close.

I love watching Gary hit the ball because his hands just perfectly drop. That lag that he's got? Yeah, just that low missile. But, I mean, it is literally, yes. And it's like pinching yourself because you'll tell grandkids, whoever you can possibly tell that you saw the greatest of all time hit golf balls from 10 feet away. and I mean, I like blink just to like try to take like mental pictures of how sweet that actually is.

And the sound that they create when they hit a golf ball, it's just a different sport than we all play. It is so cool to watch. And we're not allowed. There's certain things we're not allowed to film and put out. Like we can't film any of the play. We can't film any of the practice round like any of the shots that they hit on the range. We're not allowed to film those because regulations, broadcast partners, all that. And I still, while we're standing there, I took like 10 videos of Tiger just hitting balls.

I was just texting him to like my brother and my friend groups back home and they all were just like, I'm going to jerk off to this video. This is insane. I have to hide this from my wife. This has to go in the tickler like the sneaky file, the vault, the like vault on your phone. No one can find. Watching him up close. Could you imagine if your girlfriend found like the section of your phone that she should not find? And then all of a sudden there's just like six pictures of Tiger Woods like shipping balls and she was like,

She's like, boy, would I have preferred nudes. I would prefer nudes of our neighbor than seeing Tiger Woods swing. But, you know, I married a lunatic. This guy, I married. It's a complete loser. That's right, honey. That's who I am. It's something special.

Don't open the, don't open the stinger. No, wait, no, don't go to the next one. Don't go to the next one. Goop. Oh, goop. Oh, goop. Oh, you opened it. You opened the Stinger file.

Oh. Let's go to bed, baby. Oh. God. Yeah. Jesus. That was weird. The last one that you did is weird.

Yes. The whole room goes silent. It was fine until the pause. The joke was done. We did the joke in the years like, oh. You guys. One last just squeeze.

I didn't know I was a podcast with a bunch of prudes. Come to a tiger stinger one time. Oh, I will. Tiger was pretty emotional. afterwards. There's a little cry and a little tears. He said, I've cried in pretty much every cup we've won. I've been doing this a long time. So I guess Tiger cries. It's one of his things. Good. Which a lot of people didn't know about. Good. You got to cry. I love that. Yeah, get that emotional release.

Fires don't have to be sad. Tiger definitely just loves being with the boys because he's always been so, like, separated from like the pack of golfers his whole life, especially being younger. From the pack of everyone. Like he's just been isolated. But like, you know, you got to think that him growing up and being the best, like, you know, all those guys didn't have the same camaraderie. with him as they do with their boys and like guys who were at the same level as him. I mean, he was just the best of all time. So it's like to have him now be like the captain and everyone respects him is probably just so much more. Totally. And I think in the second half of his career, I think the love that he's felt coming back to golf and the appreciation that the fans have given him has changed his perspective a little bit on just the masses themselves and being around people and being part of teams and things like that. I think he's happier and more like, you know, I guess more.

Yeah, there's that clip we were talking about before where he hugs Bryson after the match. And it's just he hugs Bryson. It's a big, big old bear hug. And then Tiger turns around and he's just looking. He's genuinely happy. Yeah, he's just genuinely happy, which I don't think he was for a really long time. It's almost like in his four or five years like off that he sort of like was forced into being removed from his own bubble and learned like, oh, there's more to life than just slaughtering people on the golf course. Right.

Totally agree with. Wow. Cool. This stuff's meaningful. Like I don't because he couldn't slaughter people on the golf course. He couldn't do anything. So he had to find new parts of life that were important. And he learned, like, way, actually people are like incredibly important.

And I've got like these friends and I miss them. And now I can live in this world where like I have a lot of cool people that are like my friends. Like him now being a part of that, you see it. Like you see it on his face. You see the reporters all tweet about and talk about it. How like, oh, this is a different like tiger. Now to go back to the Tony Feenehouse story, he's still got that killer instinct. No, he's like, he's like, I can be friends of people, but all.

also still slaughtered them on the golf course. And the Fee now story, for anybody who didn't hear it, was Fee now, I was like, yeah, my Tiger Wood story is when I was in the final group with him. You know, the only thing that I said to him up until the seventh hole was we said, you know, hello, good luck on the first T, hadn't talked all day, hit our drives off seven. We're walking right next to each other up the seventh fairway. So I figured I got to say something. So I could kind of give him like, hey, Tiger, how's your family?

How are the kids? And he just looked right at me and said, they're good. And he goes, I didn't hear another word from him the whole round until the 18th hole. I was congratulating about winning the mask. I mean, that's so good. It's so good. Because Tiger in that moment doesn't feel like he has to say hello to Tony or anything. But because of Tiger's presence, Tony feels like he has to say something to Tiger.

And Tiger gives him the brush off. And that's why it rattles Tony. And that's why Tiger's dangerous this year. Because he's getting that feeling back in people where they're like, they're like, do I speak to the fucking guy? Like what's going on? And he's just beating me as I'm thinking about. I should be thinking about like what kind of shot him in a hit? I'm thinking about where to put the call.

Yeah. And he's just walking by, just drilling, like, throwing darts at pins. Watching the clips of him having the honor in the match against Abraham Answer today, having the honors, so he'd tee off first. So then right after Abe would hit, Tiger would walk first. So he'd always be like 10, 20, 30 yards in front of him in his fucking red sweater that was like shining among the cloudy, like, gray conditions at Royal Melbourne was just like, there's no way that answer cannot be walking 20 or 30.

feet behind him or yards behind him, meters behind him the whole time with that red sweater and not feel inferior at some point. And I'm just following this machine around the golf course. He should not be on your mind. The golf course, your golf ball should be the sole purpose on your mind. And Tiger just planning himself in front of you all the time always distracts you from what you're supposed to be doing. Right.

And none of it's a mistake. Like Tiger's been doing this like for 25 years now. He's just calculated back on com. Yeah. No. He does it on purpose. And it just, it fucks with people. The guy won six U.S. GA AMNOR tournament, like national tournaments in a row.

He won six years in a row. He was finished with matchplay. Like, he'd win. That's what he does. He has like a 60 and 30 or something. 60 and 25 all time, like, professional matchplay record. That is preposterous. Fucking ridiculous.

You know, like, anybody can just get hot at any point. He is just, he's the best. He changes everything. Part of the reason I think it also means a lot to him right now is that, like, When you're in the moment and you are the best, I feel like, like, when he was just going through his just, like, his just slaughter of all this murder mode. Like, you don't think about, like, your history or, like, what you're going to be, like, known as. I feel like when he had these couple years off and saw, like, oh, man, like, this may be my number for the rest of my life. Like, like, I may be at a certain amount of wins.

I may never get to a certain amount of majors. Like, that's just it. Now he's every single week, he teased it up. He's watching himself, like, add to his own history. He knows he has history now Because he was able to be removed from it I think that's like kind of crazy Like when you're in the middle of it

Like when like a really good baseball player is like On a fucking tear and like on a huge like Hitting streak I feel like they're just not thinking about that right But then like maybe after the hitting streak's over Like oh fuck I just like got a hit in 42 straight games Like you fucking kidding me I didn't think about that

Like Tiger like took away five years Whatever it was he didn't won and what set like how many years was it They didn't win it? It would have been like five years Five years he didn't win anything It's like all perspective. Yeah. I mean,

at one point he said, like, he didn't want, like, don't if he was ever going to play golf again. And now he's like, every week he's adding to it.

So I feel like, this is like, hey, this is one more thing that I just fucking did. It's almost like those numbers too almost became etched in stone. Yeah.

It's like they were done. Right. Like 14 majors. 14 felt like, 79 wins. Yeah. That was just like his number. And he's like,

that's a great career. And now the fact that like, it's almost like somebody like, like a little bit of like an earthquake type feeling where like that those numbers that were at Chonstone are shaking and the dust that like they use are kind of like filling in and like the numbers are fucking changing. Right. In a dramatic way.

And it's like, oh, shit. Like those numbers weren't supposed to change. And Tiger's aware of that. And he's like, oh, no, I am adding on like when he teased it up at fucking Torrey Pines at the end of January for the farmer's insurance. Like, which I'm sure will be the next tournament he plays. Like he's going to be the tournament favorite. Yep. I don't know.

Like, I don't know. I can't imagine a world where he doesn't have a chance to win. Like, think about what that does to Jack. Because when you're on a championship team and you win something, you've won it, right? Like you can sign, sealed, deliver that lives in your body. And, like, that's yours. Jack kind of had that for a second where it was like, he has the most majors. And that's like started as Tiger Woods's 14 gets Etching Stone.

His was signed, sealed and delivered and be like, no, no, no, I have it all. But now everything, like that little piece of, like, safety is, like, crumbling. Big time. Based on what he just showed. One of the more my favorite things we talk about on the show on how scared Jack is going to be. Yes. And this has got to just eating them. Jack's going to have to rent like a little villa back in Florida now and he's going to have to be like back in the mix.

Yeah. He thought he was going to be in the Bahamas. Like we said, fishing around the other side of the point doing his fucking thing. Barber was like whatever, Jack. You sail off at the sunset. He's had to be fucking pulled back in. He's going to have to go rent a little fucking two-bedroom villa somewhere in Florida so that he's close to the Florida swing in the tournaments. He's not to start paying attention.

You have to start getting quotes out there. He's thought he was done. And he's like, fuck, my work here is not done. This is going to be a grind. If you're Jack and you dodge the tiger bullet, you dodge that one. No one's touching 18. No one. Not a soul.

Brooks Capica's not touching it. Somebody 150 years from now is not touching it. So you dodge a tiger bullet and you think you dodge it. You're like, oh, shit. He at least dodged it for the rest of his days. For sure. But then the bullet starts coming back. Yeah.

It's like a boomerang! It's like one of those tracker missiles and he's just trying to like get it. Oh no. He's just trying to get the fuck out of that. That bullet's wearing a fucking red sweater. You know what it is? It's like it's the arrow guy

from Gardens of the Galaxy where he whistles and he can just make it go wherever it once. What is his name? Oh, I don't know. Fuck. I don't even know. I know. Anyway, it sends out, you don't know what Gardens of the Galaxy is.

Okay. Just grow up and fucking. See a movie. What a dumb ogre you are. You know the biggest movie series that just completed like 18 months ago? It's part of that. Okay. Okay.

Whatever. He sends out this whistle and then Yandu. And he can just whistle and he goes like, like, and then it'll just go left and go right through someone's neck. And he can send it. He can send it wherever he wants. So like, but like, but like you can send this thing out. So like Jack was probably like, oh, fuck. Like that fucking arrow just missed my head.

And then all of a sudden he just heard a quick whistle. It's like, oh shit. Yes. That thing's coming. Like, Tiger's whistling right now, big time. Oh, yeah. It's gone through a couple heads already. Jack, Jack's a couple heads away.

Boom, boom, boom, boom. It's coming. It's coming for you. We got four majors coming up. He's in the next year. He may not win all four majors, but he will be in the mix during all four majors. Like, there will be. He's winning one.

There will be a time where, like, we're watching the fucking, I mean, the Masters next year. And he's going to just be like in third place on Saturday. And we're going to be like, holy fuck, we're doing it again. You know what? We're close to a point where Tiger Woods winning a major isn't even like a celebration. It's just a, it's like a, like a notch on the belt. Like we're getting closer. Yeah.

Like the last one was like, whoa. Holy shit. It happened again. Yeah, that one was like it's going to stand alone forever as like this most iconic. I can't believe he did it. The next like the next one, I don't even know it'll be like a step. Like, oh, we just took another step. Yeah.

Like that they're just going to be part. of the process now. What if he just wins one by six? Just clinical. At the end, he's not even like celebrating. Just goes into Sunday with a methodical just shakes hands. Yeah, three or four stroke league going into Sunday and just does his thing that you have to come get me. Makes no mistakes throughout the whole golf course.

People try, make an eagle, but then they'll make a double and fall off. And he's just nailing pars and then takes advantage of the par fives. So he did the Zozo. Right. Like I want him to win at like wing foot the U.S. open by like six shots. And then the first question, they're like, oh, yeah, like this. And his answer is just like, we're on to the British Open.

He won the Zosan Saturday night. Like, we knew going into Sunday. He looks so good at the Zosome. Like, there's no way he doesn't win. I mean, and here's the other thing is that, like, we're all talking about Tiger Woods because he's a mythical creature. He is the God that I pray to and I worship. But, I mean, Team USA had a fucking great comeback today.

You know? Patrick Reed. Patrick Reed, without his caddy. We'll get into all that stuff. Like, he had a fucking hell of a day today. It was a hell of a hell of a hell of a hell. We had a hell of a day today. Totally.

We got to get to all that stuff. First, we have to talk about Roebuck polos. We talked about them last show. Collars, okay? Their collars are unlike any other collars that I've seen. They hold their shape. They just figured it out, man. The Roeback guys just figured it out.

You know you're out there. You're a golfer. You know that the collar on your polo, if you don't get the right one, if it's not a great polo, that collar after one turn in the wash is toast. It's cooked. You throw it on in the morning, you go, you know, I love this shirt, but the collar, I just look like a big dunce.

It looks like an idiot. Sometimes you get that bacon collar where it's just a little bit of a, you know, it looks like bacon. It's like all warped. Their collars are structured and last after many, many washes, unlike other polos out there. They went through over 20 iterations making the collar the perfect stiffness so they last forever. So will you in Roeback. Roback's polo fabric is incredibly soft, stretchy, and wicking. They are so comfortable you will not want to take them off.

They nailed the fit. These aren't your typical boxy, like dad golf polos. The fit's perfect. It's going to make you look good. It's going to make you look really good. You can wear them untucked. You can wear them tucked. On top of that, they've got their performance teas.

We put our logo on a bunch of this stuff. There's a reason, right? Like, we want to give you guys good quality stuff. We put our logo on the rowback. We've done many polos with them. We put our logo on the rowback performance T-shirts. All their stuff's good stuff. Their quarter-zips, everything.

Rowback, it's really, really good stuff. We are doing you a favor. You use the code 4 on rowback.com. You're going to get a generous 20% off through the end of the week. That's spelled R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com. 20% off all performance polos, Q-Zips, T's, button downs with code 4. Again, 20% off code 4, rowback.com. They also got the little, their signature move is like the little tag.

It's like a stripe flag, I guess, stripe flag. Yeah, it looks real good. For like a couple inches on the top, kind of like where the yoke would be on your polo or on your performance shirt, whatever. And it's really, really cool. They do different colors to kind of go with the thing. So that's kind of their signature move. They make awesome stuff. Rowback.com code 4, 20% off.

You are welcome. There's a lot more to talk about. So, Roeback, actually, they just hit me up on Instagram. I saw a sponsored ad my way, and I was very excited because. You just saw a sponsored ad? Yeah. Would they have a bunch of food on it? No, it did.

If it had food, that would get my interest out. But in this case. Obes, man? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I am. I'm quite large, but anyways. There's a Roeback shirt with pigs in a blanket just flat all over it. It says, like, sponsored, like, stretchy belly.

Sponsored for you, Lurch. This is your shirt. It was focused on the paddle tennis. It's just covering grease and chocolate sauce. This thing goes as well as a left. I'm huge, dude. I don't know. I just get to jump in on those because, like, I'm just good.

It feels good. We've been in Australia for, like, a month, it feels like, and for four nights in a row, I ordered McDonald's. Ooh. And Trent Texan me just goes, you're huge. I will say, I've just been getting Chinese food every night. I've done some Chinese. I've done kind of all sorts of things.

Dude, how about this? And I don't want to cut your row back thing off. Yeah, that's fine. No, it's just, it's focused on paddle tennis. So, right. And it's scary how they can do that. I get some athletics gear from them because as soon as we get back, it's like full-fledged paddle seasons.

So anyway. Australia, like the national food is chicken palm. How crazy is that? Bizarre. And like basic chickpard. Dude, when we went in play... No, I think it's a little more churched up than our...

Yeah. They cover it with ham. They cover it with ham. Fuck, you're right. I forgot about the ham. It's like a chicken cordon blue. Yes, it is. When we win play the Australians at the dunes and we sat down, they're like, you

guys got to get the chicken part of here? Or the golf course. So you're like, oh, chicken tenders, whatever. And I thought they were messing with us. I thought they were like... You got to get the parma. Parma. We're like chicken parmesan.

They're like, yeah, I get it. And then we get it. And it's phenomenal. Yeah, they're like, and then I got the other. Shut up to that whole place to do it. I'm sure we'll get to it though. So I'll wait. We'll get to that.

Yeah, we'll get to it. All right. But yeah, chicken parma is weird. And then if you're another part of Australia, they call it Parme. They don't saw Parmesan. Even though it says Parmesan on the fucking menu. Yeah. They say Parma or Parme.

It's like a huge clash between which one's correct. It's tomato. Yeah. Like Perth versus Melbourne. Mm-hmm. Yeah. President's Cup, the U.S. team. Last thing I want to say about Tiger real quick.

People to have captained winning Ryder Cup or President's Cup team and won a major in the same year all time. 1927, Walter Hagen, 1951, Sam Sneen, 1961, Jerry Barber, 2019, Tiger Woods. It's a short list. Wow. It's a good list. Yeah, and I mean, the beginning ones like are all time.

Yeah, and also like who even knew, you know, it's like half the times we see like Sam Sneen. He's fucking... What girl for his lens? What are you doing? I love just dunking on, like, dead, old people. Yes. Who, you know, they were kicking a rock down the family.

Here comes friends with a microphone. It's like, hey, can't slam dunking on. Give that guy a Twitter account, an Instagram account. I'm like, you try to deal with that type of pressure. There are like eight people watching those, those matches. All right, now we're going a little too far. Sam Sneed fucking, one of his wins, they, four guys finished in first place. They gave him all a win.

I love that we, occasionally on this podcast, we just bear. Barry Sam Sneed. With Barry Sam Sneed, we made fun of Jack Nicholas. What a show. You don't get a lot of golf shows, don't do that. I would say none. I think we're the only one. It is an iconic list.

Hagen, Sneed, Barber, and Tiger Woods. The only four people to ever have captained to crazy. International or a team competition, USA, or a team and then won a major in the same year. Incredible stuff. Okay, Team USA. We got to get to Patrick Reed.

Patrick Reed stuff. coming into this week from the hero with the whole incident with the the bunker did he cheat did he not he said if you give it a different angle that you know the stuff the sam that he moved was so far behind it that it would have um exonerated him he would have been fine he's getting a ton of heat cameron smith a couple other folks from the international squad even chirped him going into it the fans we knew they were going to be ruthless and get on him and patrick he was going to have fans hating him anyways he's a hateable guy like we've talked about that forever he's going to punch him trouble face. A lot of his antics from the past. He does the shush thing and he's just kind of rubbed being like Captain America in people's faces and we've really had no choice but to love it because he's our fucking guy. He like single

handily won us a couple rider cubs. It's like, or a rider cup it's like well fuck we've got to love that guy. Then on Saturday he loses in the morning. He went 0 and 3 the first the first three sessions. O and 3

and this report starts to emerge that his caddy had an altercation with a fan that's how it's first reported altercation is the word everywhere now

his caddy Kessler earlier in the week he had we were around the practice green we're hanging around and he had slipped on over

to us and been like hey boys wins the next rough and rowdy yep and we started chopping it up a bit clearly a bars to a fan which is a hilarious

comment now looking back very funny looking back that's true guy loves his combat sports very funny looking back yep once to get involved

he might be asking like can I fight in one? Yeah. That might be what that kind of means in. Can I fly that fan? Mr. Glass versus Kessler? Oh my God. Boom.

We got a headliner. That'd be great. So earlier in the week, this had happened. So we start to develop a little bit of relationship with Kestan. He's a super nice guy and he's always kind of like, you know, he's in and he's like, one of them Taylor made hats. Like I like what I saw this that you guys did. He knew a bunch of the inside jokes and clearly a follower of Barstow as a whole and what we do.

And he's Patrick Reed's brother-in-law. That's correct. Yep. He's Patrick Reed's brother-in-law. brother, which makes him Justine Reed's brother. Which just adds a whole little wrinkle into this whole thing. Because if you are a follower of the show, which you are because you're listening, we've made some interesting comments in the past about it.

We've connected dots and we've just, you know, we've explored. We've done our journalistic duties. You know, we've really gone deep into that whole thing and we've found some interesting facts. We have discussed Justin Reed on this very show. And he happens to be her brother. And then when he came up to us, I was like, oh no, here it comes. I'm going to get like a straw stuck up my nose and it's going to go right to my brain

because like something bad's about that. I did think for a split second that he was going to be like, what the fuck? Like, hey, when's the next rough and running? Because I want to fucking pummel your face in, Frank. Yeah, holy shit. But instead he's the man. Very, very nice.

And I saw him earlier in the week too. And I was following Patrick Reed's group. And actually, I took a video of Patrick Reed doing a very nice thing, invited a fan out, signed a glove for him, sent him back, kind of trying to help bolster his persona. But anyways. Yeah, you were part of like the Reed state run media. Yeah, you're propaganda.

And you gave it to the PGA tour. They tweeted out. Yeah. They have the rights to all things inside the ropes. Well, yeah, what I'm saying. They like used it and said he has to be happy about it. Totally. That was the only, the only person that captured that video.

Yes. Now, so this is all happening during the week. Then the shit breaks on Saturday. And it's like he's, the biggest story all of a sudden from the Breasteads Cup is Kessler. He's the only guy we've talked to like for those last couple days. Yeah. He was like he complimented his shoes.

He's the only guy that we were having like consistent interactions with is the guy who had breaking news. Correct. Which is nuts. So it's a very tricky situation. And we're not dumb. We know that like a lot of people go off Twitter and whatnot are like hating on Patrick or eating if they're American fans. They're like he cheated out in the hero and he's got this history with the family and with accusations that he stole stuff or cheated even like in college and all this stuff. We all get that the baggage comes to Patrick.

greed. Then here's his caddy and they're coming in here and now his caddy's like our buddy, which like all we can do is take stuff at face value. Super nice guy to us. He's funny. We're having a good time. Then it breaks that he's got, he had an altercation with a fan. Now people are starting to report and these were like where it got rumory that he like

punched a fan. Yep. We're like, holy fuck. And Lurch had been following him on Instagram. Yeah, we had just, we had walked up the putting green and we just became Instagram friends not 24 hours before. We had like a five minute conversation. Reed was like, yeah, let's go.

And he was, we were having fun chatting as like we were walking basically maybe back to the driving range or something like that. And then eight seconds later, we're like, oh, yeah, let's connect. Maybe there's something in the future we can do together. Friend, friend, friend, 24 hours later passed. And the story breaks. So I say to Lurch, I'm like, you're like following on Instagram, right? Like, you should, you should message him. We should try to get something.

Yep. So he does. So then I reach out to him. I'm like, hey, you know, there's a story going out there, anything I can help with or anything. thing we can help with to like, you know, clear up basically the vagueness of the story. Right. And then he responds to me, a full-fledged thing. And I confirm with him, I go, hey, can we put this out?

You know, is this your official kind of statement? And he goes, kind of yes, but no. Yes, but let me just clear it up, make sure it reads a little bit better than the first one that he offered. Right. And then as soon as he does, basically is the one text underneath that was like, just add some commas to it. And then I sent that to kind of our four-play group chat. And then Riggs put it on the four-play Instagram.

Well, what we did was we put it into a notes thing. Yes, that's correct. So we did the notes thing. I've seen a lot of confusion about that that, like, Kessler sent out the notes screenshot to just all of his media people and like basically all the people that he knows of the media. And like they all tweeted it out. So like we were just one of like, whatever, 10 or 15 people that got the same text or

same picture. Like we like did it in the fact that like we didn't take the screenshot of his initial message because like that just looks shitty. And you also want to clean it up and make sure that it like it reads well. Right. So we like wrote it in like the way he would want it. We said, yeah, we copy and paste it did what he asked, like made it look presentable. Like it looks like he actually made a statement. Like we did our part.

We just put out. We put it out there. Totally. And it just took off. I mean we and most almost every outlet like immediately I had a bunch of, you know, just journalist, golf journalist writers, whatever that we've gotten to know from being around the. media centers or whatnot text me like is this legit can we run with this golf dot com folks the golf digest folks everybody's asses blah and we're getting quoted left and right all the journalists all the blue check marks on twitter are retweeting it which is hilarious right like we're not in the scoop game

and should we read what this is and i actually put out a tweet that like maybe five minutes before as we were kind of going back and forth yeah investigative alert has some breaking news potentially on this p reed catty situation and then like golf central started off all of me like quickly I picked up like 45 followers very quickly. Well, Larch was on the boots on the ground. Read the statement. So it says official statement to foreplay from Kessler-Korraine. Is that what it is?

Cairn, whatever. Patrick Reese Caddy. Yeah. As a caddy, one of your jobs is to protect your player. And unlike several other sports and golf, fans can get pretty close to athletes. We have been known for having fun with some good banter, but after hearing several fans in Australia for three days, some had taken it too far. I had had enough.

And this gentleman was one of them, riding on the cart. Guy was about three feet from Patrick and said, you fucking suck. I got off the cart and shoved him. And a couple things, probably a few explicitives. Security came over and I got back on the cart and left. I don't think there's one caddy I know who could blame me.

Unless his bones break, like Mr. Glass, the most harm that was done was a little spilled beer, which I'm more than happy to reimburse him for. Expletives. Explositives. What? Nothing.

Nothing. Mr. Glass is, to put that in an official, statement is maybe my favorite thing I've ever seen in an official statement. Putting Mr. Glass in there laugh how loud funny. Usually it actually got to the part where people legitimately thought

it was fake that we had made it up. Which I totally get. Yes. If somebody's, if a guy who just got to, what did I say? What did I say? Explicitives. Explicitives. Explicitives? Yeah. I was like, I'm like staring at a wall. Like, why are they saying

that word right now? Explicatives. But yeah, when you put it Mr. Glass, A guy who you just shoved during a golf tournament, you are a caddy for one of the professional golfers. You call Mr. Glass. That's hilarious. I don't care who you are. It's funny shit, man.

It's really funny shit. And here's the thing. Here's my take on it. It's my opinion. Whatever. And we met the guy. He's a really good dude. I think that at some point, if you're going to be Patrick Reed's caddy,

and he's this, like, crazy, like, lightning rod, polarizing. You're going to have, you just got off the most. viral and like polarizing story with him quote unquote cheating or the intent and the whole thing. And you know you're going to hear it. You're in an away game, as Tiger called it, but you're in Australia. You're facing the international team. These guys don't want you to win. You already caddy for a hateable guy like we said.

Someone says you fucking suck. And I understand that like it probably gets to you and you're probably like this is my fucking brother-in-law and like this is my guy and like nobody knows him like I do and you all need to learn it. Like, dude, like I don't care what the fuck you think we know or don't. don't know like you need to calm your shit down like you can't be going up and punching people or pushing people whatever the hell happened i don't care what ended about like like just sit on the cart and just go like every athlete goes to it and a lot of athletes crack like it does happen like a lot of people a lot of times in sports it happened so you're like how the fuck did that guy just not keep

his composure and it does suck because like you know you never know how you're going to feel when you're in that situation if your brother was just getting shit on like maybe just gets to you the point where you just fucking snap after the thousand one after the thousand one but like that is part of the job. Right. And the way you go on the chin, you're on a car, just keep riding,

having a beer, that doesn't matter, it doesn't affect us. And the way you got to look at it is, I genuinely don't think Patrick Reed cares. I don't think he cares. Maybe behind the scenes, he's like,

oh boy, this is like, this is really good and boiling over and people are being really mean to me. But the way I look at him at these tournaments, and we were there today, and people were yelling like, you're a cheat,

you're this or whatever. And Patrick Reed doesn't phase him one bit. So maybe Kessler is like, I'm going to be the enforcer who's like, I do care and you can't talk to my guy like that. But if you just take over the approach of the guy you're catting for, Patrick Reed, the way he looks at it, he genuinely does not give a shit. Right.

And I don't, you know, there's a bunch of sides to every story. Everybody knows that. But I do agree. I think on the whole, like, you just can't get out of your cart and go and push a fan when you're Patrick Reed's cat. He says you can't do that. Now, I also like having talked to the guy, we've spent time with Kessler and like, I don't think he's like a lunatic who like snaps all to anything. a really normal dude who had enough and like he put in his statement like it from his vantage

point like he's standing up for his guy who also happens to be his brother-in-law so I don't I mean we had like Brandon Walker in the end and our office like snap one day and like shoved the guy and it's like I don't think Brandon Walker's like some horrific like bad person he just like sometimes you just fucking you can't handle it sometimes and I get that

in the moment that felt like the right thing to do but it's only going to make things worse now 100%. That's a short term game. That's a short term game the only Patrick Reed controversy that seems to follow him everywhere is now going to extend to the next tournament that he plays in. You flat out can't do that. I mean, we saw Bryson, you know,

he seemed like he was a little agitated on the 18th today. He whistled with the crowd to tell him the quiet town. But like you just, you have to control, they're going to say whatever they're going to say. And it's, you know, it's like that old adage of like, you know, words can't hurt you, you know.

Yeah. And you have to, you have to realize that you are the caddy for the guy that everyone hates. That's just like what you have to realize. And like, you're going to do more damage than good anytime you approach one of them. You're never going to win. I think he knows that.

I think he knows that. I think he gets that. And it was a mistake. Everybody, like, everybody makes mistakes. Now, I do think some of it, too, is, like, incredibly overblown. Like, people were acting like he got out and shot somebody. Right. And it's like, all right, he, like, got fed up fans.

We're white and his grill, I'm sure, drinking and all that. And he, like, pushed somebody a little bit. Like, yeah, that's not good. It's a bad look. You definitely can't do that. You have to take the high road and all that. But he also didn't, like, shoot somebody. He, like, pushed somebody a little.

Yeah, it's, it's a little bit. It's an easy pile on. It's a story connected to Patrick Reed. Yes. I feel like if this happened 50 years ago at like a writer cup in like the 50s or 60s or something, like it wouldn't even have been reported. Yeah. Right.

You know, it's like because. The cart and engage with the guy. At any point, you have to let fans just be idiots off to the side and they're drinking, having fun. The worst look for me is that like his quotes is like he said you fucking suck. Like,

man, like act like they said something a little bit worse than that. I would just say like that's just like the straw that broke the candle. Right. Yeah, I know. You know, there's a thousand different things. This guy might have been inside the ropes or something like that, screaming at him. For sure. And he was just ticked to the point.

I mean, it happens in every sport. I mean, think about a guy who plays like Wright Field and like Yankee Stadium or something, the shit that gets screamed at him. Yeah. Like it's known forever. Like these people look into like their, the bleacher creatures that Yankee Stadium will look into these people's like past and like their family and their girlfriend's names. And they're like screaming these things at them. And like they just can't turn around because the second you do, you lose. And there's also that like, you know, fan.

and nobody can touch me, nobody can hurt me, kind of feeling. That's how I feel. And there's actually a great stand-up comic. I really love talking about people's best. Dude, I talked about Bryson and Justin Thomas. Never think, Ricky, I'm still talking about Ricky. Never thinking I'd ever have to deal with it. And then all of a sudden, like Bryson Deschambeau was on the phone.

And why don't you like me? I was like, blah. Because I don't know. I'd like to jerk my dick. And I don't know. I like, what the fuck. And then he gave you the butter nice comment. The whole thing.

Yeah. But like, that's what I mean. Like, we all talk shit until it comes down to it. For sure. Look, it was a mistake. He shouldn't have done it. I think that's very clear. Being on the scoop game was amazing.

We ended up getting into it with different outlets. I guess he had given it to ESPN, too, but they didn't report it first. So we had this whole situation where like golf.com quoting us, citing us, tagging us, all that. A bunch of different outlets were ESPN then post an article like 30 minutes later or something like that. And doesn't quote us. So people started chirping them on Twitter. Then we got into it basically just mocking all the journalists because all they live for is like this. This is what they live for.

being there getting the scoop and all that, which it means nothing. Mr. Ice cream. The scoop means fucking nothing. And I think you are supposed to say, like, as first reported by, if, like, somebody reports it first, but none of that matters. We don't care about it. I do have one question about it. My one question is, if, so say, well, if the ESPN person gets it first, but we also get

it just pretty much right with them, if we report it first, then it's ours. Right? Yeah. And I think that then outlets will say. good practices, we'll say, like, as first reported by Barstville Sports or Foreplay podcast. Gotcha. And that's what almost everyone was doing.

Everybody. Yeah. It doesn't ultimately matter. Our note is everywhere. Let's stop saying ESPN is everywhere. Let's stop saying ESPN guy. It was the tiny little fellow, ESPN caddy. Yeah.

You know? I mean, that's just who it was. Yep. To give context to it. Yeah. And he's crazy. Bob what? Bob.

Barrag. Yeah. So they're just like, you know, they live for that world. And you know what? The ESPN caddy guy is a funny dude. Like I've actually found some of the stuff to be pretty entertaining back when I was like watching Sports Center a ton like you know like Like when I was just like like working at Perelis in college Like I just like wake up at one o'clock and watch sports center like that guy was always on there and I thought the stuff that he did was really funny

But like dude when you're gonna get into like a Twitter beef and respond to every single that's where it's ridiculous He is a good dude like I think he's funny. I agree and even he was like very disharming. He was like I still love like all your guys stuff I think it's funny and we were having like a laugh and he was responding to a color of my tweets fine. But the Bob guy and him infuriating. Responding for 24 hours straight to like every tweet. Dude, Bob, right before he started doing this podcast, I got a notification that Bob still responding to people.

Like, Bob, it's 24 hours late. It might as well be 24 years later. We're already on like to a million view video later. We dabbed up Tiger Woods. Right. We're like, what world are you? What are you even talking about? But this is the thing.

This is where they live for scoops. Like, otherwise they'll just put out boring like, oh, this happened to the president's got, oh, Tiger won. They won 16, 14. Isn't that fun? And then like the big things is when, oh, my God, something out of the ordinary happens. And they want to get the scoops. And it's like, oh, let's get it from this Kessler guy.

And then here come these fucking idiots to us. And we're just, we take the scoop and they take where the thunder. And they're like, what am I doing? I will say our notepad was everywhere, though. Like when we were at the bar and it popped up at, I don't know, call it 5 p.m. Or whatever, whatever time it was. And they were literally taking excerpts out of the notepad. It was insane.

It was great. Yeah, go ahead. Sorry, you're on my wire here. Sorry. We almost brought the whole system. Get off his wire trip. I'm sorry. We were at the watch party at this bar, the Great Northern Hotel or something like that.

We have a bunch of people, like we said, 30, 40 people. For some reason, the, well, I guess they do this here in the States too. But, like, if you're on a certain channel, they're like, you have to turn to channel 91 to see that to continue the coverage. Like, the nighttime, the nighttime news is going to come on this channel now. So we're all watching the golf and then it just changes to the news channel. And like, we're looking around. Like, what the fuck is this? And one of the guys is like, dude, this is our number one news.

channel in all of melbourne right yeah uh in all victoria so like we're all watching it and like they say they're leading off with the patrick reed story and we're like holy fucking shit like like i think you dude i legit tapped frankie the shoulder frank you sitting a little bit in front of me i said wouldn't it be funny if they used our tweet in this story and we're all sitting there thinking like the odds are that that's not going to happen and we're watching this new story the golf has happening on another channel no one changed the channel and all of a sudden this they're talking about the caddy they they they go to this like got on on uh premise reporter and then he must say something that just references like our scoop

yeah and then boom here comes our notes thing that just completely transitions onto the screen and the whole bar went wild we like all of our 20 30 40 people we're jumping up and down like we just watched the goal the final goal of a world cup game and we're screaming i'm waving an american flag we're going crazy because we're like we just took over the world everyone around who wasn't in our group was like i miss something because there was a cricket match going on that people were paying attention We were going nuts. Yeah, for the news. We were going nuts and people were like, what did we miss?

What is going on? The lead on the nightly news, we went crazy for. Yeah. There's all kinds of other things to go nuts for. Dude, as messed up as that was, that was the lead story. The second story was a killing. Yes. Yeah.

Like three people were killed. Which is horrible. Right. But it just shows you the gravity of it. Right. It was big news. It was huge news. And that's why I turned these guys like Bob and the caddy.

It drove them nuts that like people responding to them being like four play at first. I mean, the caddy, the ESPN guy was like, well, you know, to ask. I didn't just get off the phone with the guy and he told me everything that he just told them. It's like, dude, who gives a fuck? Like, we tweeted out first. Like, just be faster. You can't get mad at that.

Be faster. Be faster. And Bob, stop responding to every single person that's trolling you on Twitter. That's what they're doing. Every single tweet. They're like, hey, oh, nice reporting, but wouldn't you like to get it first?

I was like, wow. Well, I'm 350 years old. I'll actually have to go through an editor, which they would know nothing about. I'm trying to get out of my typewriters not working right now. I don't know what to do. I'm going to eat some rich cockers and sweaters.

And it's a perfect chocolate bar. And then my second is a Twix, but the XL, so you get four of them. Liquorish. And then an honorable mention. So I'm kidding. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm thinking of Twizzlers. I'm like, what the fuck?

Oh, no. That's crazy. I do like Twizzlers, though, biting off each end and making it a straw. Nice. Because then you get a little licorice flavor, as you see it. But then a strong honorable mention for me is an almond joy. My dad loves almond. My dad loves almond.

The reason it's not higher is because you can get two and that's just. You got the coconut in there. Yeah. Oh, so bad. My dad loves coconut. You know what stinks? Coconut. My dad loves coconut.

It's crazy. I hate it. I despise that taste. Awful. You either love coconut or you hate it. I don't think there's any in between. You know what I also sneak is like a little. candy or dots that's a family area damn that's two really bad ones i'm sorry i don't know when you're uh

when you're skiing i don't ski keep dots in your jacket so they kind of get cold like a refrigerator cold have those things on lift that's living i also like how you factor in the sizes of the candy bars well that's a huge part but like you can just buy more well do you eat to for volume or taste that's a personal question yeah So like those blend together Those blend together. Why don't you just ask me what my social security is? No, but my

That's just two big guys talking. That's two guys on the couch. If I tell you, I got to kill you. You guys don't know. Dude, Lurch and I just forgot that Frankie and Riggs and Jake were here and he's just like look me dead in my eyes like let's talk candy bars for like two minutes Holy shit talk about this no but my mother God bless her heart she sends me like fun-sized Heath

bars and she'll just send them to me. She knows them. She knows that. Yeah, she knows that I love them. They're a fine chocolate but for that to be your number one, that's just like an odd number one. Well, if you have those around, I mean if you're doing ice cream, crumble those things up and sprinkle it on top. Butterfinger's another crumb.

No free ads. I'm not going to give out the name of that. ice cream place it's a creamery they do like cake batter with heath Jesus can you guys leave I think Trent's about the group

can you guys leave the room I'm not wanted here I don't think this is past us now we're no we're back we're back I'm sorry I don't know let's let's bring it back on track so funny I have some kind of breaking news oh boy so

I think Jeff Shackleford took a shot at us. But actually, I don't take offense to it. I think it's pretty accurate. But I think it's meant to be a shot. Okay. But then I'm going to respond and take a shot to him because this article he posted is, in my opinion,

pathetic and representative of everything that sucks about, like, miserable golf media. Yeah. His article is titled Why? Question Mark. USA completes impressive President's Cup comeback and not many feel very satisfied by the outcome. His first paragraph starts

with. The internationals came up just short at Royal Melbourne, outside of the Team USA Inner Circle, and some fan boys granted a media pass. This will not be remembered as a satisfying win by the Americans. Okay. Then he goes on, he goes, maybe I'm dead wrong. Perhaps there will be

dancing in the streets of Jupiter and residents of Quill Hollow will awake to some overturned cars. Then he goes on to basically say that this is not like a satisfying outcome for golf fans because the USA team is marred by the fact that like all the Patrick Reed antics and blah, blah, blah, blah,

blah, blah, blah. First of all, outside of Team USA inner circle and some fanboys grants a media pass, I think that's pretty accurate. Some fan boys. Yeah, dude. Since what have we not said that? Buddy, I was enlarged in my groin area today walking around inside those ropes. Yeah, I'm a fucking fan boy.

Massive. You know what? That is what golf needs is people that, like, are passionate about the other stuff, like, like, big Dick Eldrick walking around in a red fucking shirt and like how good he looks like on the golf course. And, you know, Justin Thomas. talking or like we even heard like Tony Fee now saying something to

he goes to Webb Simpson right after Web Simpson finished Tony Fee now went to greet him and he had a big old smile on his face he goes I birded three the last five holes I birded three the last five holes and Weston's like what you won it's like that's like that's like you see that shit like exactly like one of your buddies coming up being like dude I birdied I played the last five holes at one under par yeah he was so genuinely

that's the stuff we care about as opposed to like the X's and O's of like you know who took their hat off before they took a before they shook hands and stuff, like, oh, just the crusty old golf bullshit and not being able to cheer in the media center. What does that mean?

Like, yeah, fuck that. Should you be able to yell in the media center president's cup, though? Because that was all time. That's what you did.

Remember when you're on the phone and just go, President's cop. Yeah. The entire sort of approach of trying to find a reason to, to be negative about this president's cup is so crazy to me. There's 24 players.

One of them he has a big problem with. Patrick Reed thinks he cheated, thinks his caddy, like, shot a player in the crowd and all that. Therefore, the entire President's Cup should be marred. Thinks that, like, Tiger Woods even picking him after all of his antics at the last Ryder Cup is, like, so out of bounds and puts a black eye on the entire President's Cup. Look, man, this was fucking awesome. Tiger Woods hit a walk-off, like, putt on the 16th hole as the, as the play. playing captain to go 3-0 in his red sweater. The United States team rally.

Justin Thomas emerged yet again. I think he went 3-1-1 this week as like a complete dominant force in team competition. We had a bunch of our young guys, Andrew Schaughtley, taken down like Adam Scott and coming back. The international is playing phenomenal throughout really the entire time and like almost taking down the giant like David Goliath type thing. Royal Melbourne shining is a phenomenal golf course, which someone like Jeff Shagherd, I know,

jizzes his pants over Royal Melbourne, firm fast conditions, Dr. Alastair McKinsey, all that stuff. And just kind of like forcing it to go out of your way to find reasons to be negative about the President's Cup is what sucks about like stale, typical old golf media.

You know what's wrong with a guy like Jeff Schauchelford? Is that he would prefer the sport that he covers to be less popular if it's done on his terms. Definitely. He doesn't, he would prefer it to be less lucrative, less interesting. and less open to the public if it's not on his terms.

If it's gone guys' terms like us, who we are fanboys of Tiger Woods, and we have credentials and we get excited when we see him and we just sort of say what we feel about it. And people are drawn to that. People like that. That video that we're putting out with Tiger Woods, it's going to have a million views by the time Jeff Shackleford wakes up in the fucking morning.

It's harmless. We're fucking excited. Tiger Woods is the greatest athlete, like the most transcendent athlete maybe of our entire generation, definitely the most transcendent golfer of all time. he's right there in our presence and that's not like a unique feeling that we have like 99% of sports fans and golf fans on earthfield the exact same way about tiger that we do and standing right next to him getting a fist pump from him after he just fucking hit a winning put to win his match at the president's cup that he's captaining would make anyone go crazy and what we're supposed to like stand there and pretend like we don't care no we're excited it's a harmless video what are our other videos like oh we're seeing if justin thomas and zander shawfley can like out drive frankie left even though they're right-handed or harmless good fun that we're having we like dapp up fucking gary woodland when he's on the range get ready for the team picture good fun we have fun with the we hug brice and we're like look at

you man yeah you're huge you're jacked like that type of shit we expose the fucking planted fans that were that everybody else is tweeting about and being like chirp in the pGA tour for planting fans or whoever planted those fans nothing that we've done unless you're looking for it to be like a negative is a negative it's all good fun positive stuff we don't claim to be like these ridiculous X's and O's hardcore like golf architecture. We know exactly what we are. That's why I said that this line, some fanboys granted a media pass,

I wear that as a badge of honor. We are fans. We're massive fans of golf. We're massive fans of some of the players. And when we have interactions with those fans, we're going to just show our general expression. We don't look at everything pessimistically. We're not sitting there being like,

how can we be critical of this event? Instead, we understand that like thousands of people, work to make this event go. It went incredibly well. There's some parts of it that are dumb that we're going to make fun of. There's certain things like the cad, like Kessler, jumping out of his car that we don't think there should do. There's certain things like planting the fans that we're going to call ridiculous.

But overall, like this was a massive event. The crowds were crazy. The coverage being back primetime in the state seemed to have been a massive win. People are jacked up about that. We got our guys from Barstool who cover other sports who don't even cover golf hubs and these guys texting us, retweeting all of our stuff. Like fuck me, I'm playing attention to the president's cup because you guys are down there. You're in the mix.

You're mucking it up with Tiger. He's fist pumping you. Nothing that we're doing like warrants people to be upset at us for it. We're not like propagate. We're just fucking here with media passes as fans and we're just soaking it up and putting out whatever we can get. What a miserable existence it must be to hate the sport that you cover. That's where Jeff Shackleford finds himself. Like if you don't, if you hate it so much and then just get the fuck out.

Because, like, we're having fun with it. He has this, like, viewpoint of what golf should be, and he wants to hold so tight and dear to it. Like, that is his only reason for being on this earth is to maintain this, like, old school and respectable way of the game and the fans should all be the same way. It's like, dude, we're, like, revolutionizing the sport. And whatever you want, like, whatever, however that makes you feel, like, you're not going to stop it just by writing, like, these negative things. things about like the sport that you cover exactly what Trent just said like this was a great president's cup they had a huge comeback win Patrick Reed got into an altercation last week whatever he did this fucking thing that you drives you this guy can't sleep Jeff who spells his name

G E OFF oh god damn asshole G off like jerk on bro you got he's the proletical guy he's the prototypical guy he's the prototypical guy it's like always in our mentions with the his profile picture literally is him at the top of his swing and it and he's writing all these, yeah, like I, you know, all these fans

should just be sitting down and they should be clapping. Why aren't they wearing ties? Why aren't they wearing ties? And why is everyone having so much goddamn fun? You know, it's supposed to be.

Yeah. Are you about to call Babe Ruth's last home run? And the babe steps up here and oh, he hits one way to the right. And it's going, going, gone, and there goes Babe Ruth with the home run lead.

Home run lead. That was similar. I won't say in Jeff's profile too on his Twitter. I just take a quick look and try to skim the article. He's the worst. It says like CEO slash C-O-O-O-Slas whatever C-level title of Jeff Shagaford.com.

And it's just like, I hate that. Like, he's just a guy that sees that we are gaining traction in the sport that he loves to like keep in this bubble that is, that makes him comfortable. And he sees that all of our tweets are getting 7,000, 8,000. When you click on, when you type in hashtag presence cap and you go to top, it's just all of our tweets. We're number one through like 50,000. It's just everything that we're doing it It drives him nuts that this is his job We're doing it because we love it

We don't go into these with an agenda We don't like passion like when we When we get a wink from Xander Shafley Who loves the wink Like we get excited about that When we get when Lurch is talking to Kooch about paddle And like that's just we get excited about that When Tiger fist bumps up and recognizes us after it's a big pot

That's just we're just excited man We love it It's cool And I can't tell you how many times And I'm sure you guys get the same People come in the Instagram M DMs being like, I didn't, I really wasn't that into golf, but you guys made it more accessible to me. So now I'm giving it a try.

I'm watching it. It's way more interesting. Guy like Jeff Shackleford should be thanking guys like us because we're bringing more people to a sport that he's potentially, that he's covering. Dude, that was the exact point I was just going to mention at the bar yesterday and when you're talking about people. And they say that exact line. Yeah. Like, oh, no, I just like listening to you guys because it's just very common man. You just talk about kind of whatever and golf is mixed in.

But I was never really interested in golf and now I am. I love playing it because I was listening to you guys. I have similar experiences on the course that you talk about with games, with situations and everything, and you just make it more fun. Like, that is the crux of, like, why this is also fun. You know, that's, like, a huge point of it that if the game of golf is growing and we're helping that in the slightest portion, then, like, that is awesome. We're not closing it off to people.

Right. What's crazy to me is, like, why would he go out of his way to, like, put some condescending line in there about us? Like, we're not saying condescending negative shit about you. Like, you like golf. you write your books and you just he's designed course and you're on golf channel like that's great it's good for golf there's a certain section of people that enjoy that and they're very much like by the book like you are fine like whatever we're all into golf we're all passionate about it but then

if you're going to like come at us and clearly put some condescending line in there that that that's trying to like paint us in a negative light like we're we're not having a negative impact on golf g off we're having a fucking massively positive impact on golf everybody sees that the usGA sees that the PGA of America sees that the PGA TOR sees that the players see that and on top of that none of what we're doing could be misconstrued as like negative or malicious it's all positive stuff that's what I don't get we're positive about Jeff Shackleford would love a world in which like the game wouldn't grow and they would all just stay the way he wants it like he does not want the game to grow if it's going to be the way that we want it to be right where it's more accessible to people

and like kids can go out there with like shorts and a t-shirt on and learn with their dad and like maybe ground the club in the bunker for a couple times and like learn how to fucking hit a golf shot. Jeff Shackford snap that kid's. Strokebrose stroke pedaling. Chuck Shacklebert is what is holding. There was a point where golf was like going down. Club, I mean, even right now, like country clubs are are hurting because like that is not the way of the future. Like not everyone is going to show up to a place with their shirt tucked in and their hat perfectly, you know, the right way.

And not everyone's going to have these old school English manners. Like you're going to just go out there and learn the game. We actually talk to the guys we played. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Yeah, we talked to these guys, Future Golf. They're here in Australia. They're doing an incredible job. Exactly what we're saying right now.

They're like, go out and learn the game. And don't ever feel like you need to, like, you know, abide by anyone else's rules of what they think golf is. Like, just go learn. Golf should be the number one sport is what one of the guys in Future Golf said in the world. Because, like, anyone can play it. Young, old, like, if you're a little bit, like, hurt, you have a bad leg. you have a bad toe whatever you can't play baseball once you get to 50 years old 40 years old you can't play basketball once your heart can't fucking get up to that type of speed and stuff

you can play golf from the time that you're able to fucking swing something to the time that you're you can no longer stand those should be the number of sports taking those fences down is the whole goal of this podcast where future golf and a lot of other people are doing out there because in Australia to get a handicap you have to be part of a club so that restricts people from actually playing golf and what future golf doing is basically lower the bar to entry for golf. And, like, other countries, you have to be a certain handicap to play.

Like, all those things are stupid. Like, you should be able to go out there with a T-shirt, shorts, and your son, and bring your dog. Who the hell cares? And go for a walk and enjoy the nice day. You should be able to play golf however you want to play golf. Buy whatever rules.

You should be able to play in a backwards hat, gym shorts, and a T-shirt if you want. And you should be able to listen to music if you want. Like, you should be able to play fucking, like Frankie's dad, like, tee it up on every single shot if he wants to. Fine. I don't give me to eat the Reese's.

No. If that's what's fun. to you and like the future golf guys made a great point of like if everyone played golf to the level of like just general funness that we play it it would be the most popular sport in the world you can but there's this intimidation right of like oh i don't i don't have the right manners or the right etiquette or the right this so i'm and all that turns people off it's the same reason that like people get so turned off to go to like the gym because they're being like judge or they doing shit right is this it's it's it's that times a million with golf because

It's like not only is it a really hard game, the hardest game in the fucking world, but there's all these other like barriers to entry that are clogging my mind. Like maybe I'll just go shoot a fucking basketball or I'll go bowl or something. I mean, I was so lucky because when we were living in Boston together at the same time, I grew up kind of being, you know, I was introduced to golf by my dad, but we weren't part of a country club and I played other sports. So I never played golf at all growing up. After college, all my buddies were playing golf.

And Riggs was part of this group and there would be like 25 of us, 30 of us, 40 of us, on like an email chain, but you want to go play golf. And we put together these groups every weekend. And it was just all about being out there with your buddies, having drinks, relaxing. It's the weekend, whatever. And it was, I mean, shout out to grain of links because it is like the best way to consume golf. And it was just all about fun, enjoying yourself. And that's really what like that club promoted.

But it was also all the guys that made that possible. Right. It was the best introduction of golf. And yes, it was there. We were playing golf. But it wasn't just about the golf. It wasn't about being stuck up and playing a certain. way. It was just about having fun

and then, you know, through having fun and playing a bunch you eventually get better. And it's like, it's taken off that way. And just to finish this with Jeff, Gioff. Coming back to you. This fucking guy. Like, here's the, here's the, here's like this, the fact of the situation, man, like you

and your, your clientele, your readers, whatever that you're putting out your content, your consumers of content, they're all like phasing out. That style of golf. And it is important, right, to have X's and O's of the sport. You can feel that. He's nitpicking at us. You know what I mean?

Right. But it is. And he has to understand that. And it is. And he's grasping at straws and he's trying to get mad. He's yelling. He's an old man yelling at a cloud. And he's not even that old.

He's just like, he's clinging on to like old styles of writing and golf and he wants it so bad. But dude, like your readers and your viewers, they're literally dying. Like not just dying off. But like that style of golf is like, is just over. And like just accept the fact that like our videos get 8,000, 9,000. Like our video just. Tiger Woods is going to get.

I'm thinking of like. like this stuff. Our video is literally going to get a million views of us just giving a high five to a player because it makes them look like a human. No one cares about your piece on whether or not it's like acceptable to root for Patrick Reed for his country. That doesn't matter. We want to see Patrick Reed like drink out of the cup tonight. That's all we care about. I don't care about your take on if it's acceptable to root for our country in an international fucking golf tournament because this guy grazed the sand on a wedge shot two weeks ago in the Bahamas. Are you fucking kidding me?

That makes me so angry that he writes that. And he actually gets paid and people think of it as like a high and mighty like author like in like a writing piece. That's just bullshit.

I think you have to be, I felt a little bit bad for Ernie L's because, like, this was his chance, man. Like, they had the new logo. They had it roll and they were up 10 to 8 going into the final round. He's been absolutely dominated, decimated, just completely embarrassed by Tiger Woods his whole career. And now here he is versus Tiger Woods. Tiger is playing, right?

So not only is Tiger like captaining against him and he's trying to beat Tiger as a captain, but like Tiger also then is just putting on the red sweater and going out and just winning points while Ernie is like drive around in a fucking cart and then he loses and so I feel a little bit bad for Ernie even led his little trophy ceremony thing with like all right tiger you got me as like he always been getting me again fucking let off man just stop but the international is the good thing about this event another reason that everyone I think should feel very positively leaving the president's cup not like Giaf Schaecford who's like Mr. Negative about it is like the international's Man, they lit like a fire.

They got like a spark. They've got something now. They got the logo. They played well. They were so goddamn close. Abraham Answer was making put after putt after putt. Cameron Smith took down JT in his singles match. They kind of like bonded.

You could tell they had their little pod system even going. The crowds down here in Melbourne were phenomenal. Like I didn't know people got that into the President's Cup. So all of those things considered, how good and dominant the U.S. team is, world rankings, experience, major championships, all that stuff. stuff for the internationals to have lost only 16 to 14 could have easily, if you just flip one or two matches, like won the President's Cup. I think going forward that they've got a very strong base now on which to build, and I think that will make the President's Cup

significantly more competitive going forward. Yeah, and any time that it was a team aspect for the internationals, they swept the floor with us. Like the U.S. couldn't come together and win any of the first three days. before singles. Well, it was, I mean, it was, you know, they fucking, I think we owe them an apology for when we had our first podcast when we were here in Australia and we were like, they have no chance. Like, we looked at them as though they were like little children, which I, you know, I,

you were saying that. I wasn't agreeing with you on that. Well, I mean, we also, I think as a group. I agree with you on that. Yeah. I mean, would you say, Lurch? No, I just said it was going to be tighter because I was comparing it back to handicaps and how tight it is over days and basically that, you know, they could beat us.

That was after they had like scout off to a. a good lead though. I'm talking like before we even, we were like, this is a shoe in. Like the US is just the best team. This is the best team that we can possibly. Oh, maybe. Maybe you did actually. Whatever. Either way, everyone thought the US. We were favorites for sure. Yeah. And we were literally

calling it a shoe and we said like this is a perfect team that you can assemble and you're taking guys from nine different areas of the world and bringing them all in different cultures, different language barriers and all this stuff that they talk about. Ernie else basically said like, it is tough to bring this type of team together. And when it got to the language barriers,

thing is huge. Huge. And like the cultural bit, right? You've got guys South Africa, from Asia, from Australia, from Canada, from Mexico, like all on the same team. You got to get them all to dinner. You got to get them all to like bullshit and talk and stuff. You're playing alternate shot. Like they need to communicate.

But even beyond that, like even in the year leading up to it, like, you got to get all those people in the same place, then get them like speaking the same language. Then get them to have something that they have like in common to become tight so that when they do get to the tournament, like if you're comfortable around each other, they really want win for each other. You can hear it and Matt Coacher and a bunch of the guys' voices and

like see it on their faces in the press conference after today from the American team of like, they're like, dude, Tiger Woods is the greatest player of all time. And we then have the opportunity today to go out there and win the President's Cup for him. Because like we knew that the president's cup being the captain meant the world to him. And like we were not going to go out there and lose. And you have to find something like that for a bunch of guys from different countries who live their own lives who like don't really cross paths. And, that are out on tour, which is a very individualistic sport, trying to, like, make their own living and all that.

And you have to find a way to, like, get them to bond. That's fucking impossible. I mean, you have a guy of Canadian, you know, playing for an international team. He's more American than, you know, like some Americans are. The guy's just on the other side of the border. He's playing with guys from China and Australia. And he's got to, like, try and get that, like, vibe together where it's like, all right, let's take down all these guys that, like, have the same culture as me.

It's got to be tough to really mix it in. Totally. I think the international's built a ton of momentum with logos, as Riggs was talking about, but just like building something that can last long term, I think they did a tremendous job with this president's cup. And also, I mean, they were close to running away with it after the day two Friday, morning.

JT and Can't lay making those puts. Exactly. Massive puts. And so then that brought us, okay, now we're not at least going to get blown out here. It was going to be nine to one. to one. Crazy. And then on the other side of that, the Americans looked like they were going to sweep, what, the afternoon session.

Yeah. And then the international is actually stormed back. So then they kept a 10-8 lead going into the last day. So it was pretty volatile, pretty back and forth. And I mean, yeah, it was great theater all around. Which is, again, why all things considered, like, how are you not sitting down in your little computer and writing very positive stuff about this? Yeah. Because Patrick Reed fucking took off a couple grains of sand a week ago in the Bahamas.

Like Frankie said, who gives a fuck? This was way bigger than that. It was so cool. Even if you are, even if that does keep you up at night, if you can't fucking sleep, that's one guy out of the 24 guys that played in this thing and out of like the 50 people that are really involved. And you get to like all the assistant captains and the captains and like all the official. Like it's fucking one guy who at the end of the day, it's not like he killed somebody. like you're so that upset the thing was fucking awesome the crowds were so cool royal melbourne like

was an inspiring golf course the way that you watch balls like man we were standing there on 17 we were right by 17 green today when cameron smith hit his shot in there jt hits one in tight he's cameron smith has a one-up lead he hits his cameron smith ball landed what 15 yards short of the green bounced up in the air bounced again and then rolled to like six feet eight feet and he made that to end up winning the match but like that type of golf you just don't get to see very often. Australian sand belt golf with these top players. It was just so cool to see.

I think the whole thing overall was a fucking massive success. Yeah, and being there, you just felt the tension towards the end of the day. Like there was a time where it was 11-11 and there was all these matches still on the course and you're like doing the math. Like, oh shit, we're only leading in three. We're tied in two. And you're like, fuck, man. Like we could lose this in a blink of an eye.

Like you can, I mean, Bryson showed like Bryson lost 17 and 18, right? No, and split. Oh, he lost on. He lost the 17th hole. And then they have the 18th. Right. So it's like, I mean,

it could happen. Yes. He won 16 to go one up. Yes. He lost 17. Yep. Then they have the 18. Right.

So it can happen in a matter of three holes. And it's also interesting because you're out there like trying to run between greens, T-boxes, etc. Which was cool. Which was really cool because it kind of just goes up and back. 17th fair way. But then the service stinks.

So you're like, well, and where where you see Learboard. Dude, there was a moment where Hadwin had that pot on the 18th or it's like if Hadwin makes this like we're in trouble. He would have won that match straight up. And then we were losing the last three.

We had like JT was down. Ricky was down. Coocher was down. And it was like, wait, we need points. Like, yeah, we're having a good day. But like,

we're going to fucking lose this thing. And then they ended up flipping him and Cooch and Ricky ended up both having, which got the, which sealed the deal. But it was and there was like a murmur going on around the course. Like people, the international crowd was fucking awesome. Like them rallying around all the different guys.

They had all their, they love leashmen. Unleash the Leash the Leash. They've fucking... He'd a great week. Love that. I don't think he did have a great week. No, he was bad in the first two days.

I think he had a... Horrible week. He's hashtag bad. Horsack bad. I think he lost a lot. There were murmurs. And you know what else? I don't know if anyone who was listening to the broadcast heard the fucking birds out here, man.

Yeah. A bunch of... Are we talking about R2D2 birds? No, there's a bunch of R2D2 birds, too. It's like... It sounds just like R2D2. But there's just one bird that's... just sounds like French Montana man she's like ha ha it's just nonstop and you look around

you're like French Montana Australia ha ha it's just like all day and you could hear on the broadcast if you're listening to it just like a guy's like guys like guys leading up for a fucking shot he's leaning in twins he goes ha what that reminds me more of the yin yang twins really yeah I feel like they were the originators of that of the ha ha ha ha I think French montana does it though he does he definitely does he definitely does he doing he doing twins do it too too Yeah. Well, you know? I was going to say something.

I forgot what I was going to say. Okay. I think that's probably a good sign. My brain's about to explode. We're going to Tasmania, as the locals call it Tazzy. Tazzy. Yeah. I think the next pod we should just like recap all of our actual Australian stuff, right?

And like we haven't even talked about the golf that we just had with those Aussies. Nope. We got to do that. I was going to talk about on this show, but we were closing it on two hours. I think we saved that for the second show of the week. We'll have our Tazzy. Barn Bougal. Baud Bougu.

We'll have that review. We'll have the recap of us playing the Dune's course down on the Mornington Peninsula. Yep. And we played with the future golf guys. We had two on two. I'm sorry, we had two, two on two matches, four play versus the Aussies. A couple guys came in from Sydney, a couple guys local, had a fucking awesome time. We did lunch before, had beers, played a hell of the round and a really, really, really cool golf course.

Then went for a fucking legendary dinner afterwards, kangaroo steak. So we'll talk about all that on the next show. This is a little teaser. We don't do this. Here's another tease. Here's another tease. So I had a little golf ball in my back pocket during that round. Ooh.

Yeah. And we haven't even talked about this because our latest meeting with the boss man has surpassed how great this was, even though it wasn't really a meeting. We're standing on the practice screen just real quick. And, you know, we're trying to get the boss man, Tiger Woods to just interact with us. And it was Saturday, right? Oh, no, Friday. It was Friday. We've been here for so fucking long, man.

It was Friday. We're trying to get Tiger. We're like, we need to get Tiger. We've been here since Monday, like at this tournament. Like, we got to do it. And he just, like, wasn't really doing it. He was like the USA was losing. Right, right.

We were nervous and he wasn't paying attention. He was right in front of us or not looking. And then all of a sudden, like, J.T. was on the putting green. And he sees us, gives us a couple head nods, walks over to Tiger's bag. And we're standing on the green. And all of a sudden, a ball comes rolling at us. And I pick it up. And I'm like, holy shit.

And I look at J.T. And I'm like, thanks, man. He goes to me, mouths it from across the green. and he goes, look at the ball. And I look down and it's Tiger's ball. And it has like scuff marks on it straight out of his fucking bed. And it was just so cool that like, because I mean, I'm assuming he had known or someone had told him about the original story where Tiger gave, uh, Robbie Mac came up to me and

Trent and he gave us the golf balls and said, this is for taking care of the boss man. That's where the boss man started. Yep. All boss man stuff started. And this was at Bethpage. Um, and I gave, I had to give my ball away to some little child. Long story. One of the great predicaments for a man who gets into a lot of predicaments.

Yeah, just a real quick analysis or recap of it. I had this ball and we had a guy who was on the inside of Tiger Woods' crew, the Guido Torpedo. He said that he needed a pen to have Tiger Woods sign something for him. So I walked around to the fan area and I said, does anyone have a marker? And this little cute kid just handed me a marker. He goes, here's my marker. and the dad goes, but you have to have Tiger sign this for him, too, if you're going to use our marker. So I gave that to the Guido Torpedo.

I said, if you can get your thing signed, get this sign as well for the kid, it'll make his life, Tiger Woods. Turns out Guido Tarpito got all his stuff, and then Tiger took the pen, put in his pocket, got in the car left. So for hours on end at Beth Page, is... Am I ever going to get my marker back? This kid kept screaming, am I ever going to get my marker back? And I'm just like, I don't fucking know where Tiger Woods went. And I just don't know. I can't ask you for a marker.

I can't get it. I can't, I don't know. I don't know what happened. It got dark and all of his, everyone left. And it was just him and his dad. And I walked over there and gave him my Tiger Woods ball. And it made his life. And now I got one back.

Now you got one back. So I had that ball in my back pocket during a round. Yeah. Had the round of my summer. Yep. The whole summer. Best score. That's the teaser.

Yeah, that is the teaser. I also want to give a special shout out to Zach Johnson. He had a great week out at the President's Cup. He's driving people around. I'm too tired to argue with you right now. I'll give you to you. No, Zach Johnson. Great week.

Great win for him. a mobilizer. He was good. He was good. He was a robot. Tiger's right hand man up there on the stage. He was wearing glasses today. He was a Uber driver.

All he did was drive people. You know, somebody's got to do the grunt work. Somebody's got to do. When we saw him fly up in that golf cart, up the left hand side of the driver's up. He was going 50. Yeah. He knew the routes to get the real players.

Somebody's a really good point. Somebody's got to do the dirty work. It's not all about like being up there making putting puts. There was an interview and all that stuff. So shout it to Zach Johnson. Great week. You're as a big part of this win as

Tiger Woods. They were interviewing boom boom and ZJ and all they had the mic was in Freddie couple mouth. And ZJ just stood there and just went, yep. Just nodding and everything. Like, oh, what was your guy strategy? And Freddie's like, well, you know, we want to get together. And then in the background, Zerj is like, yep, that's right.

My shout out's going to be to Duncan, the owner of the dunes. World-class guy. Oh, yeah. We'll get to that. We'll talk about him. I just want to give him a shout-out if you ever listen. My shout-out is to the Australian. Shout-outs again.

My shout-outs to the Australians that showed up to our fucking meat and green. It's a good shout out. They took me to some street and I walked away. You guys thought I had gotten murdered. No. Literally, I thought that. If you had been gone for like 25 minutes. I was gone for an hour.

I was gone for an hour. At the 45 minute mark, I was like, I think Frankie got killed. You know what? It was so wholesome. I had about seven Australian guys, all from different areas of Australia, some from Perth, some from Australia, some from Melbourne, some from Sydney. And they all got together. We went to a pizza place that was rated the best pizza place in all of Southern Australia.

Yeah. And we ordered a pie and we waited for it for 20 minutes. and we all talked about our upbringings and, like, going through school and elementary school and the differences and, like, they learn American history and we don't learn anything about Australia. That's what I fucking did. Very cool. My shout out of those guys. My shoutouts to Matthew Fitzpatrick. He did not tweet Purple Al.

No, fuck. So what I'm going to say is, if you're listening, tweet Crenshaw at us. Nice. I like that. Crenshaw. Crenshaw. And also shout out to the people who have been tweeting purple at us who got through that show. Yeah.

There are a lot of you guys. We very much appreciate that. The reason I came up with Crenshaw is our boy Chantaw, our good friend. That was like his code when he played fucking like lacrosse or something. He had some special trick play he wanted to do. No, he played flag football in college. And I was the quarterback, and he would play tight end. And all of a sudden he'd look at me, and this guy is one of the best guys you'll ever meet.

Always has a smile on his face. He ever listened to this scene. I doubt he will. But he's just terrific. He would look back at me, and his play was Crenshaw. And that would mean, like, he wanted the ball, and he was going to do this, like, shake and cut across the middle. So I'd be, like, standing there waiting and hike the ball. And he'd look at me and go, Crenshaw, Crenshaw, Crenshaw.

And I'm like, all right, James. And then he'd get so excited, run across the middle. And sometimes that's a good show. I like that. Good deal. So, Crenshaw. So, Maddie Fitz, if you're listening, if you made it this far on the show, just tweet, just at us. You don't have to put the dot.

You have to do anything else. Just put, like, at Riggs Barstle, at Trent, at Lurch, at Frankie. Crenshaw. Yeah. Love it. Anti- Shoutout. Jeff Shackleford. J-off.

J-off. J-off. J-off. J-off. J-off. Hid-Haw-J-J-F. Hit some shackles on you. Gia off.

Not a sexual way. Just your voice needs to be shackled. Oh. Hit it hard. Hit it hard. I'm going to get some Macca. Hit it hard. They call McDonald's Maccas here.

Hit it hard. We're off-coms. Macas. Macas. Down under.
