This is going to be part of this show

today that you're about to hear. It's going to be a year in review just talking about everything that was 2018 from what we did to what happened on the PGA tour, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But next week, you're going to get a best of, that's Christmas week. And then the following week, we will be back with our first show of 2019. We'll be January 2nd, which is Wednesday. So people just throwing that on your radar. But this is it.

This is the last show of 2018, our last fresh show of 2018. What a year. What a wild year. Huge thank you to the platrons out there without you guys. We wouldn't be able to do all that we've been able to do this last year, this last two years, really. Trent Daddy and myself started this thing in February of 2017. Super Bowl Week 2017. Super Bowl Week, we started a golf podcast.

We launched it when they were everybody, everyone with the office was like, don't do the, don't launch anything because we're doing the, I think that was the rundown company central year. And they were like, don't launch anything because we want all of our resources to be focused on the Barstville rundown at the Super Bowl. And we were like, all right, well, we're going to put out a golf podcast. They were like, don't even blog anything. Just don't do anything basically this week because the whole company is focused on

the Super Bowl. The whole company's at the Super Bowl, on Comedy Central. We're live on TV. It's great. And then we're like, here's Foreplay, the golf podcast right in the middle of it. So that was pretty fucking wild. People probably forget that. But boom, all of a sudden, it's been almost two years.

And here we are. So the playtrons, I mean, whenever we go to tournaments, whenever we go to golf courses, we see you guys out there. We would not be able to do all the cool shit that we get to do if it weren't for you guys. So thank you, thank you. Unbelievable year of support. our following has grown and grown and grown, and you guys have grown in your passion and all of that.

So thank you to you guys. You rock. We're going to keep doing what we're going to keep doing. We're going to keep doing what we've been doing. There you go. And we're going to ramp it up. We've already got big stuff coming right at the beginning of 2019 that I think is going to floor people.

Some of our biggest stuff, I think, is not only ahead, but like coming up soon. So I think people need to be jacked up about that. We were talking a bit about it. for the show about some things that are on the horizon. So 2019 is going to be awesome. The end of 2018 has arrived. So we're going to go through a bunch of the stuff that happened this year. We're going to kind of relive it.

I think it's going to be a very, very fun show. Just kind of like thinking about the fact that we were at Mr. Gary Players' house at the Masters eight months ago is, like I don't even know. It doesn't even seem like a real thing that happened. So we're going to kind of talk about that kind of or those kinds of things. Pebble Beach. I was in Pebble Beach this weekend. Yep.

I just got back. I landed at 2 a. What was that? Your second time there? Third time there? Fourth time? Third time. No, no.

Well, now you're just being an asshole. It was my third time. Third time there. Not a big deal. It was a great time. I got to be honest. The weather there in December is beautiful. I mean, it's like that year out.

It's California. Yeah. True. But they say it never rains in California. I believe that's a song. What? That's just not true. It rains.

That's a. song? Yeah. It never rains in California. I mean, it doesn't go exactly like that, but it's definitely You know, you just jingled up the sentence. That's all you did, Frankie. If I was to come up with the song that was called It Never Raines California, I'd sing a little bit like this. It never rains in California.

That's pretty good. Yeah. You sound like a crooner 1930. Well, for the people that... It's not like Perry Como. For the people that were home, I was kind of... Oh, there's that static again. You see that you hear that? Yeah, can the other people? What is that? That doesn't sound good. You know, for the people at home, I was just bobbing my head left and right. I think that used to be a real move back in like the 40s and the 50s.

No, that was sick. That was a sick, like, edgy move. I think it looks good. Tony, Tony, Tony sings it never rains in Southern California. Oh, okay. Yeah. So, big difference. Good point.

Okay. Good point. So we kind of figured it out there. Cut it from the podcast. We kind of figured it out. So the weather, look, everybody knows they call me Rigsie weather. Everywhere I go, the weather's perfect. Is that where they call you?

Oh, yeah. Who calls you that? Everybody. I've never once. There are two people you host a podcast with, do not call you that. They just go, hey, Riggsie weather? Oh, yeah.

What are you, the weather guy on, like, WPI? No, it's because everywhere I go, the weather's perfect. I go to St. Andrews for four days. They're like, yeah, no, it's always windy in torrential rain and this and that. I go to San just like 62 degrees in sunny with basically no wind for four days straight. First time I went to Pebble, which was this time last year. They say the same thing. Oh, there's always these marine layers that come in, this fog.

You can barely ever see. Most people that play Pebble, they don't even get to play it in real conditions. It's such a crazy, rainy, this, that, cloudy. Nope, sunny and perfect the entire time. Went to band then earlier this year. Sunny, perfect the entire time. Went to cabot. Sunny, perfect, the entire time.

I'm not saying the evidence isn't there for people to maybe call you Rigsie Weather, but do people call you rigsy weather? I think when you're going to places, you're like, Rigsie Weather's coming. Yeah. You know, what the fuck is that? Well, now they know. Is this how nicknames start? Look, they like it because the weather is, if you bring the weather,

they'll call you whatever the fuck you want to be called. And that's just, I'm just telling you. telling you what they said. It's kind of like in the office when Pam just decided she was the office like administrator. Yeah. She's like, there's different ways that you can like become something. You can just name yourself it.

That's what he did with Rigsie Weather. No, but I don't think I didn't, I didn't become that by naming myself that. I became that because the weather follows me. It's a chicken and an egg, you know? Did you,

did you come up with the nickname because of the weather or did the weather because you had the thing? You just can't know. It's true. That's a good point. That's a very good point. Let me say this, that a week and a half ago,

So this trip, we had 16 guys, big Rider Cup type deal. And like 10 days out, everybody starts looking at the weather, obviously. The weather was two of the four days. It was like 80% chance of rain. I said, look, Riggs'y weather's coming. There it is. That makes it feel wrong. It's not a problem.

Everything will be fine. And then even up until a couple days before we left, it was looking like Sunday might be a washout, a complete rain out, 80% chance of rain, this, that. I bet it wasn't. Because Rigsie Weather was there. Trent, now you're starting to learn. You're starting to understand.

How was the goddamn weather? The weather was just phenomenal the entire time. The second we finished up yesterday, which is Sunday, finished up the whole thing. We did our big trophy ceremony. We drank transfusions out of the Daddod Classic Cup. And as soon as we get in the car, starts raining. Wow. And that's what happened.

You left the golf course, so Rigsie Weather was no longer in effect. Correct. And then the rain that was the impending rain that was supposed to. to be hitting during that time, but couldn't because I was there, now I was able to fall. It's like in the Truman Show, it's the opposite of the Truman Show where he's walking around, and there's just the cloud is following him. It's the opposite of that. That's exactly right, right, right.

Hence the nickname that people often call me. Rigsie Weather. The legend of Riggs'Eweather grows. It may be in his own head only, but. So this pebble trip, our friend Josh, who Frankie knows well. I did. I met him down at, did I meet him down in Arizona? Yes. Yep, you sure did.

Our friend Josh, who's the man, the absolute man, he's the guy we were telling story about Dave Matthews. I think went to Dave Matthews a couple weeks ago. Really, really good dude. He's big stoolies. I think he's been to, and he'll probably be mad that I don't get it perfectly correct, but I think he's been to like 160 Dave Matthews concert. I think it's up there. I think it's 180-something. Yeah.

Dave Matthews shows. He loves Dave Matthews. And he gets right in front. He knows all the guys in the bag. Right. Dude's well connected. Knows everybody. He knows well.

Anyways, he, so he put together this whole trip. this whole Pebble trip of a bunch of his good buddies and then even kind of a mix of some of his family. So one of his uncles and cousins was there. A couple of his close buddies from work, work pals were there. And he asked me if I would captain the other team. So he captained one team I captained the other. We set this up like five or six months ago.

I said, yes, of course I will captain one of the teams out at Pebble Beach. So we did this Rider Cup trip out at Pebble. We played Spanish Bay, Pabble, and Spyglass. and I got to tell you, the first 36 hours of this trip were the worst time I've ever had. I got stage seven diarrhea. Stage seven diarrhea. Oh, yeah. Are there stages?

According to webmd.com, there are stages. And it's seven as high as ago. You were able to diagnose which stage you had? It's pretty simple when you work backwards, Frankie. I unfortunately want to type this in. Stages of diarrhea are now in my Google history. The situation. So would you eat something bad right?

Yeah, so what happened was, you know, I flew out late, I flew out late Wednesday night, and I go to Newark, and I roll in, and I get there about two hours early, so I'm like, okay, I got a little time, sit down, I get a nice salad and a beer, thinking, I'm going to keep it light. I got a six to six and a half hour flight coming up. Let's keep it light. Eat the salad, but I'm still starving. So I was like, all right, I'll cruise through the appetizer menu. I got to get a little something extra, and I get these meatballs. and I thought, like, I'll just have a meatball or two. How big could they be?

It's something that tied me over because I'm all hungry. They're delicious. So I scoffed them down and stuff myself with these meatballs. About halfway through the flight, I get serious stomach issues. I go to the bathroom. It's just pure liquid that's coming out. Yikes! This took a turn.

Happened twice on the plane. We were talking about beautiful weather just like 10 seconds ago. Look, this is just the reality of what happened. Diarrhea on a plane. I have the stages in front of it. of me, by the way. We're not going to have to get into that. I don't want to turn this into sort of a vulgar type podcast. But anyways, the stage seven, as Frankie's seeing, is not good. Essentially, what happens is when you use the restroom and it's liquidy, you're obviously become dehydrated because you're losing a lot of liquid. So your head, I had a severe headache. I had to go to the restroom. My stomach's and knots. And I come trying to drink more water, but then it just goes out. So it's kind of a catch-22 situation. So I had that going on for the first 36 hours of the trip tried to play golf the first day i made it through the 18 holes went to the bathroom five times during the round holy shit it was a train wreck it was the i literally went and when i

went to the bathroom i would go real quick i would just sit there with my head and my hands on the toilet seat for like five minutes afterwards just like sitting there well and the the thing about diarrhea is it's awful and and everything but you go so many again not to be too vulgar but you go so many times that you just don't want to go anymore no it's like it hurts it hurts it hurts to go. Start to get raw. Start to get raw and painful. And you're in these like public bathrooms with like fucking... I mean, and you're worried if somebody comes in.

Like you're just wiping your ass a brillo pad. Oh, my God. You need that no free ads. You need that, that's that ultra soft. You know what I'm talking about? Oh, Sherman? Yeah, there you go. I mean, we just tried to say no free ads.

I'm just screaming them out. I mean, I know. If we had no free ads means you don't mention the company. If we had any toilet paper companies knocking on the door and now they're running away, I apologize. I had dude wipes slide in my... They were just like in my mentions the other day. How many of these are we going to give away?

You got any free ads you want to give out, Ricks? You got one. How many are we going to get out over here? I know. Now through December 25th, the 23 and Me DNA kits are on sale. 23 of Me helps you understand what your DNA can tell you about you and your family's story. It's named for the 23 pairs of chromosomes that make up your DNA. We've had some wild stories from this already.

People finding out crazy things about themselves. Yeah, because I feel like you sort of a general idea or your parents have been like, yeah, this is what we're with this and that, but then this actually gives you what you actually are and where you come from. I mean, it gives you unbelievable information. Muscle composition. Do you have the genetic muscle composition common in elite power athletes? Studies have found that almost all elite power athletes have a specific genetic variant in a gene related to muscle composition. Sleep movement.

Do your arms and legs twitch while you're sleeping? I don't know how you would know that. How am I supposed to answer that? With 23 and sleep movement report. Because you'll always be alone. You'll never know that answer. Damn, Frankie. I stared right through Trits out.

With 23 of me's sleep movement report, you can discover how your genetics may be influencing how much you move your arms and legs during your sleep. Many people dislike cilantro, describing the taste as soapy. Do you have the genetic markers associated with this aversion? That just happened to me this weekend.

I have to bring this story out because we're talking about asses and diarrhea. The other day I'm walking around my apartment and I say to my buddy, hey man, you smell like shit.

Like you actually smell like real life shit. Like what's going on with you? And he goes, I know, dude, I need to wipe my ass. And then he. What does that even mean? Okay. Hold on. Let's stop there for one second.

If you are so inefficient at, wiping your own ass, that it radiates off of you? That's not, that's a bigger issue. I tweeted about this every week. I said, yo, man, you know, we were sitting around. I'm like, who the fuck smells like shit? It was like that scene out of a click where he, where he, like, farts in his mouth. I refuse to see click.

People said it was too sad. You've never seen click? No, I didn't see click because they said at one point he gets really sad, and I'm just not emotionally right for that. It was very funny. Anyway, I'm like, who smells like shit? I'm like, dude, do you smell like shit? He goes, I know, dude.

He was like, he was ready. It was like a relief. He goes, he goes, I know, dude. I need to go wipe my ass. And then he proceeded to go wipe his ass, and then he smelled great. Well, that's just who in the world? He said it was swamp ass. He thought his whole life meant swap ass, like things come out of you.

No, that means that's when you get sweaty. Right. You don't ever wipe. You wipe until nothing shows up on the toilet paper. This has gotten way off the rails. That was my first 36 hours in PEPA. Was this situation. We played the first day that Thursday.

And I had done some, this is when I've been hard deep on WebMD that morning. So I knew kind of what I had. And the only remedy, it's basically like, yeah, you can try to take some stuff. But it's really probably not going to do much. I mean, you couldn't have been stage seven because there's a website here. The website, I think, is called diarrhea. It says stage three is an increase of more than seven stools a day. At this stage.

I told you I took five during one round of call. At this stage, hospitalization is recommended. The next one is, stage four is a life-threatening condition develops recurring immunity. You're on the wrong thing. I'm on WebMD stage. Stage seven is like, we're closing the casket and his mom. Stage seven is we're going to fucking sew that asshole up. You're on the wrong website.

Nothing else can come out. You're just on the wrong website. I think there should be, I really wish there was a uniform stages of diarrhea. Apparently, that's not true. Well, that's what I found. Frankie's on some weird. I was on Florida Hospital.com. Yeah, I don't like that.

It doesn't seem. Florida diarrhea is different than any other. I think we can all agree. Florida is not a real place. People eat their faces off down there. That's what I was. So which golf course did you play when you were in the bathroom? Spanish Bay.

Okay. So first day we played Spanish Bay. That's where we were staying. And it was a grind. It was a real grind. I was just trying to keep it together out there. It didn't do a great job. We went back to the hotel room immediately after the round,

slept for four hours straight. The hardest sleep I'd ever have my entire life. It felt like I drank two bottles of, like, NyQuil, and I just literally went back and laid down. It passed out harder. Then we had a big, like, opening dinner that night. So everybody, because three or four of us got there early. So then we get, you know, an influx of, like, 12 more guys show up.

So, you know, saying hi everybody, and he's got this big dinner plan. We had, like, this lasagna and all that. Literally the only thing I can eat is a banana. So they brought a banana to me on a plate. Oh, man. And these guys are just stuffed in a feast with a banana. I literally ate a banana. This huge feast.

You should have seen all the food. It was some of the best-looking food I've ever seen except for in the moment. Now, how was your, like, how were your spirits at this moment? Were we getting, like, flustered rigs? Or were you getting, like, angry at the situation where you, like, really fought, like, were you, like... I was just sad. You were sad. Yeah.

He just wanted to be happy. He had his head in his hands when he's taking dumps. That's a low place. Number, think about your pants. On the course, just fuck this. Pants at your ankles, sitting in a golf course, Porter potty bathroom after just doing everything we described the physical nature of what that entails. And then just sitting there for a couple minutes afterwards because I didn't have the energy to move with my head and my hands.

Is this going to hurt your future relationship with meatballs? I'm out on meatballs. Yeah. That's always the problem. It was definitely the meatballs. It wasn't like the elevation and the plane and everything. Wow. What do you mean the elevation of the plane?

I don't know. I know, but like dehydration. go into space. How do you get the dehydrate from the meatball? I mean, you imagine like I'm in the movie gravity here all this. You don't get dehydrated from the meatball. The meatball fucks you up and then you shit liquid and that's how you get dehydrated. Right.

That's exactly what happened. Do you throw up at all? So that's, I was really trying not to because I'm not a throw up guy. Yeah. I felt like I had to a couple times and I sort of suppressed it. I could have. If I was a big like puke, pull the trigger kind of guy, I think I would have several times, but I kind of kept it in.

And again, I was trying to maintain my hydration levels. And I was reading two on WebMD, no free ads, that, you know, you start puke it and shit in a storm and you just run dehydration. Then you might have to go to the hospital. It was a scene. Anyways. I'm nauseous right now. It sucked. You should have seen how I felt.

But the listeners are probably pretty nauseous. If anyone, like, is, like, someone had to have been hitting, like, the 15. Like, we got to get past the shit talking. No, I think. Because I'm going to throw up. It's a real life. I know. Having to take a shit on a plane is relatable content.

It is relatable content. Listen, everyone has diarrhea. Chaps is a diarrhea. like 15 years hasn't he? Since you got shot, right? And he said he's had like a dioracin's like Easter of whatever. Yeah, like 2007. He's just had dies.

He's never once like shit solid. That's unbelievable. That's unbelievable. Because I'm usually pretty, I think my shit's usually pretty self. Like literally solid and good and all that. This was not. How was your performance on the golf course while this was all happening? So it was weird because I came out kind of swinging.

I was like, you know, I pared like four of the first five holes where my partner and I were like one up we were doing a fun little match and then but I will say for the first hour I also felt pretty good on the course that morning and then it hit me and I felt horrific and I made like a double kind of kept it together I birdied the ninth hole which is a really tough hole at Spanish Bay that was actually too at that moment I'd gone to the bathroom after the seventh hole there's a porter potty after seven so I'd gone to the bathroom there and then thought like I'll play two more holes that I might probably go in then I birdied nine it was like well I mean I'll play a couple more holes Except that. And that was a huge mistake because then it goes back into the trees. Yeah. And, like, there's no real bathroom back there. And then it's like, well, I'm on 13. Now I've got to finish.

So that's what I did. Finished out. Each of your shit's in a bathroom? Every one of them. Okay. Because out there, it's homey and two. There's not really a dense, packed area of woods where there's nothing that you could like sneak into.

And I ran out of biodegradable toilet paper, which I usually keep in my golf bag because I've had to go to the bathroom. You just been using that stuff up? I guess I used it all up. Or maybe I guess. gave it to somebody to use and they never gave it back to me. I don't know what happened, but it wasn't in there. I know that. I found that out.

You know that. But luckily, I didn't find that out in the worst way possible. I found it out beforehand because I was trying to prepare everything. Anyways, so we're doing this dinner. First half of the dinner, spirits were high. And there is, we kind of went around the room and because the whole group didn't all know each other. So we did a whole, you know, boy Josh did an introductory thing. We had a bunch of gear.

Shout out to our boys at Peter Millar that hooked us up with a bunch of gear. So we had a ton of gear that we gave away. and the trophy, and we had some different competition. So Josh did a really cool introductory speech, and then we kind of went around the room, and everybody told them a little bit about themselves and cracked some jokes. Everybody's laughing. So I had to kind of like keep my spirits up for that part. Did you mention the diarrhea?

Be like, holy shit, guys, I'm dealing with a stage seven bout with diarrhea. Everybody kind of like went through. They did their introductory thing, and I literally started. It was like, hey, I'm Sam. I have stage seven diarrhea. That was my opening line. And everybody could tell on the look of my face. Like, oh, yeah, that guy.

Nothing wrong with it. And then towards the second half of the day. Hey guys, my name is Riggs. You know, you can know me from Barstle. I have a waterfall coming out of my asshole right now. I appreciate you all coming here. That's pretty much what it was like. This is all making sense because before we started the podcast,

you said that you had texted someone. You remember talking about someone texting you and you're like, yeah, I think I told him I had diarrhea. And I was sitting here being like, who the fuck says that? But with what you were going through, that's the only thing you could talk about. That was what was, well, and I was like being, I was genuinely non-responsive to messages and stuff. Like, I couldn't even function.

I was like, people, it was like, all my energy is going to defeating the situation. All your energy is going out of the toilet. Just energy leaking out of you. It's funny, but it wasn't in the moment. It was so, it was just such a sad, devastating period of my life this one day. And I flew all the way across the country. I'm so excited for this trip, all that stuff. So anyways, I get halfway through the dinner.

And then everybody else, they had been, you can't. Alcohol makes it worse, and obviously all food except for you eat like a fucking rabbit makes it worse. So I had white rice and a banana is all I had at dinner. Everyone's gutting. These bottles of wine, they're getting liquored up. So now everybody's telling stories laughing. It's getting louder. I'm sitting at the end of the table, basically like my head and my hands.

Finally kind of wrapped up, went straight to sleep. A bunch of guys are like, oh, yeah, Rigsie, let's go to traps, which is the bar right there. Like, let's go to traps. We'll get a couple cocktails. I was like, nope, going to bed. So I shut it down early, like 10. woke up the next morning. I took a little bit of a modium or something like that.

Is that supposed to like plug you up? Yeah, it's supposed to kind of plug you up and kind of tighten everything up. Tighten it all up, baby. Shut that butthole. Turns out the issue is in your small intestine. So this is supposed to really get into that small intestine game and kind of like fix me up. It's like concrete. Oh, that's what I was thinking.

Just like that loose concrete and then boom, tighten that shit up. Right in the small intestine. So I go to sleep early, wake up. We're playing pebble on Friday morning. I wake up and I was like Charlie Conway. I woke up and the pain was gone. I felt great. Or no, Adam Banks and Mighty Ducks.

Oh. Woke up and pain was gone. Really? I felt great. I felt like a bazillion dollars. So we teed off at Pebble at like 8 a.m. And Pebble is obviously Pebble Beach. Everybody knows Pebble.

You've seen the course many times. You probably played it 500 times on the Tiger Woods video games, which we talked about a bunch, especially the earlier versions. I think Trent's favorite version is what, 03 or something? 07. Yep. Which at that point, like the only course in the game was Pebble Beach. Pretty much, yeah.

And so you just played it over and over and over and over. So you all, everybody knows, of course, they're having the U.S. Open shout to our close personal friend, USGA, having the U.S. Open there in June of 2019. And I'd played Pebble a couple times before. I told kind of the whole story already on the show, so I'm going to tell it again about playing it for the first time and what that's like, experiencing it for the first time, which is magical. And, you know, they say it's the greatest meeting of land and sea in the world.

And then boom, there's a golf course on top of it. I think Jack Nicholas said if he could play one one. last round of golf in the world. It would be at Pebble Beach. So you've got Pebbles that awesome. The really, really cool part about this time was it was like 60 degrees and sunny, but it also was windy as shit, which I'd never experienced before, which was very, very cool. Because the seventh hole, for example, everybody knows the seventh at par three, right on

the edge of the cliff right there. You hit your very elevated T. It's like 105 yards, I think, is what it is on the card. T's pen was back and the T's were a little bit back So it was like 109 for us And every time I've ever played it I've hit like a 56 degree wedge And in the middle of the green

And it's been really fucking easy And then like what's the deal with this hole? Legitimately I filmed the Riggs verse from this hole So everybody's gonna see it But we hit I it was 109 yards Straight downhill I hit an eight iron And wasn't within a mile I mean it was

One of the most insane things I've ever seen We had in our group we had a scratch golfer two three handicaps and I'm like a five going closer to a six now and in a two-on-two match a bogey won the hole

it's a hundred and nine yard hole it was insane it was playing outrageous so that was that's what you want all the scores were super high but it was just so fun the round was so much fun the ninth and tenth holes played straight into like a 35 or 40 mile our win and they're already really hard part four along the cliffs and it was just like what the

fuck are we doing here i got it was it was wild and then you played you know kind of back down towards the obviously the other holes going the other way were downwind so it was wildly fun playing pebble and those types of conditions in this match where we had you know my team against josh we did we did six on six so um another thing that i'll wrap this up with is that we had uh we lost the first day, three nothing. Three matches, two and two. We lost three nothing. Then that night after dinner, we had, there were a couple there were like three guys that

came on the trip who were non-golfers. They came out to Pebble for like two nights to hang. They don't really play much golf. They like spa stuff and like sightseeing and then had all the dinners with us and all the camaraderie. But anyway, so what we decided to do was the tiebreaker. If by chance we tied six six at the end of the week, the tie break would be decided by a putting contest between the non-golfers after dinner.

There's like this lit up putting green, right? Everyone that anybody's been to Pebble knows right outside of the tap room and right behind the first tea at Pebble is kind of their practice green. And they keep it relatively lit up at night because it's sort of in the middle of this shopping center, you know, lodgy area at Pebble. It's a really cool little setting. And so we obviously had a bunch of drinks at dinner. And then we rolled out there and had this putting contest between our non-golfers and their non-golfers. And we crushed them. Our guy crushed them.

They're huge side bets going on. So technically then we kind of got a half point on the board. That's going to come up very important. We end up losing 2 to 1 on Saturday. So we're down 5 to 1 going into Sunday singles. There's six matches, six points on the line. We played both Saturday and Sundays round at Spyglass Hill. And yesterday we came back.

We won five matches out of the 6 to get it to 6, 6. And we won that tie break putting contest. So we ended up winning 6 and a half to 6 to win the inaugural dad bodod classic, which has an unbelievable logo, by the way. Did you know you can do this thing where you could put it up? I think it's called like 99 designs or something like that. You can, if you ever need a logo made for anything, you can pay like, I don't know what it is, a couple hundred bucks or something like that.

And then they'll just be a contest of all these freelance designers will like, like dozens and dozens of them will take a swing at making this logo for you. You just pick one out. Wow. That's really cool. Isn't it fucking awesome? No free ads, right? We're just giving away.

That was his free ad. That's my free ad. All right, cool. Which is good because now I'm on the website. But that's what we did. So if you ever need advice for that, that's what we did for this. And we got the Dad Bud classic. That's so sick.

What a great idea. Which is awesome. So again, our boy Josh was going through sending me, like, look at all these different logo designs. And we picked one out and all that. But anyways, this was, when you do like a Buddy's Rider Cup trip, you just hope to God that it comes down to something close. Yeah. And it literally after, like, on Saturday night's dinner, you know, we've been drinking all day. We kind of did this.

We didn't really. Nobody really played 30. outside of a couple guys in a day. So we play golf in the morning and then kind of chill in the afternoon, go get drinks by the water, do a putting contest, whatever. And so by the time Saturday and a dinner comes around, you know, we've been drinking all day, a little cooked up, all that. And they chirping from them, the fact that, like,

we can't believe we blew you out in the first ever inaugural running of this event. You guys are a joke. We might have to, like, redo teams what are we going to do? And then we came storming back, and we get it to. It's the last match, our guy, he has to. to win it because we've won all these other things. Last match, our guy has to win it. And he's two down with three to play.

Wow. But he's getting a stroke a hole. He's like an 18 handicap or something. The other guy's like a scratch golf. And he goes like par, he goes like par, bogey net par, and then gets it to 18 all square. He hits a second shot on the wrong hole right on 18 at Spyglass Hill. He's literally on the T-box of the 10th hole. And he's got to hit this chip.

from like 50 yards away, through the trees and under the main branches, but over two bunkers, to an elevated green and then keep it on the green, hitting his third shot. He fucking hits this pitch with everybody watching around the green. It fucking comes in relatively low, lands just over the rough. One hop, and I had to come in low that it skips just over the green, like five feet into this first cut stuff, but it's like the greatest shot I've ever seen. So now the other guy's like, you motherfucker.

Like he's so fucking nervous. is he ends up hitting a great chip but he makes and then because he got kind of a bad lie of a second shot ends up making a five so our guy lags it down there he's got like two two and a half foot slider for a five net four to win the whole thing steps right up kansas oh my so shout to my boy nick it was unreal we went crazy drain transfusions out of the dab by classic trophy and then i had brought it home literally carried it onto the plane with me you have it here with you it's at my it's in my room I got back at like 233 last night. But anyways, it was a hell of a trip.

They had a full system breakdown. I don't know where you go. I told Josh was like, you might be, this might be set your team back a decade. Yeah. I don't know how you come back from that. I mean, the first ever. Josh did all this planning. He literally got the trophy made.

He's talking the trash. Engraved it. Talking trash, which he deserved. Josh also went three and O. So I told him like, you're just a selfish. Like, you're a selfish, terrible leader, apparently. And he doesn't like that at all because I think he considers himself a very good leader. So then I've been sending little jabs at him where I chirp him about his decision making on his singles lineup.

And he just sends me these long ones back like justifying all the moves he makes. I'm mostly just kind of like trolling him because it's just it's unlucky. Yep. But also it feels good to just kind of get under his skin a little bit. So suck it, Josh. But it was, it was something. It was a fun weekend out of Pebble. Everybody out there I know tries to do or wants to or already does do as many Ryder Cup weekends with your buddies as you can.

So the more ideas and the more you can hear about them, I think the better for making. the trips better. We also, we put in money and did like skins each day, which adds a little flare to it. I think the putting contest was a really cool addition for a tiebreaker because I'm actually a couple of these different types of trips that I've been on where you end up in a fucking tie just way more than you would ever think. Yeah.

And the stupid thing to do is the, not the stupid thing, but the most traditional thing to do is the most previous team retains. And then you have to win half a point more in order to get the cut back and all that. This was a very cool way to do it with the Friday night situation. One of the guys, Josh was not happy because his guy that was representing his team putting was putting literally with two O.J. Simpson-type leather gloves on. It was not a very impressive display. Like literally putting balls off the green.

It was laugh out loud, funny. But anyways, that was Pebble. If anybody has any questions, I will have a, we got a video coming out from Spyglass, the fourth hole at spyglass is the thinnest green you've ever seen in your entire life. It's like, it's legit. I think it might be like 15 feet wide and, I don't know, 150 feet long. It's just this insane green that called the bacon strip. So I love the video of that whole thing out and whatnot.

If you go, don't go to Newark and get meatballs before. Don't get Newark meatballs. That's really the biggest takeaway. Do not get Newark meatballs. I think the one time I had a Philly cheese steak on a Amtrak train. And it came in a bag that he had to cut open with scissors. Yep. You can't do that.

That's not good. No. All the meat and the cheese was in a baggie. And he had to heat it up. One time I got a mac and cheese cheeseburger. On a train? No. A restaurant.

That sounds good. What the fuck does that mean? I thought it was going to be really good. It just like named like a food at a restaurant. They put mac and cheese on top of the cheeseburger. Yeah, it happens all the time. Did it give you diarrhea? But I feel like that doesn't happen all the time.

It happens all the time. There's all specialty burgers. We were talking about crazy shit on, like, transportation. Like, I've eaten a mac and cheese cheeseburger. The meatballs I got on transportation. They were just at the airport. That's not on, it's a restaurant. At an airport.

Okay. But airport food is, is more dicey than sitting down a restaurant. Apparently. I know exactly where you had that cheeseburger. Do it. Well, let's not talk about it. No, we're not. Oh, okay.

No free ads. I thought you were going to be like, I ate this, this mac and cheese. cheese burger and then I just my stomach exploded. Yeah. Well, I was. But you were just underwhelmed by the burger. It was terrible. Okay.

And it did kind of ruin my life in the moment. It's a mess. It was a mess. It was, it was the worst. When it came, it looked horrible. It looked so bad. It sounded good on the menu. Look terrible when it came.

Tasted terrible. Upset my situation. I have problems with all those things. Like these Bloody Mary's where they put like cheeseburgers. Yeah. They're like sliders. It's crazy. Yeah.

They put Bloody Mary. and your cheeseburger eat cheeseburger in your Like you'll get a Bloody Mary And then like on and then like on the fucking straw They'll like they'll stick a couple fucking sliders on Like a kebab on the straw You see ones like slices of pizza? They put fucking marshmallows and shit

It's like dude I'm like if your Bloody Mary is good enough I don't need a slider on the thing I think Nate's usually on that train where he loves Bloody Mary He loves Bloody Mary's I don't know if he likes all the shit in it though I'm not sure either Nate would be on that train Yeah Oh he's a huge Bloody Mary guy

Huge I hate Bloody Mary I love Bloody Mary's I once went so I was drinking when I was younger. I was like probably just turned 21 and got super drunk one night with my friends and I was going to up. I was going up to Boston to watch a Yankee Red Sock game with a bunch of the Islander coaches. They were all going back to Boston. I was like Jack Capuano's like coaching tree. And they invited me to go to the Yankee Red Sock game because one of the guys who is, he's one of the skills like strength and conditioning coaches for the islanders, he also worked out one of the guys on the Red Sox, right? So he was getting all these tickets.

Okay. And I was like, yeah, yeah. So now I was fucking so jacked up to go with, right? It's like the Islanders, the Yankees, it's my two favorite things in the world.

And I decided to drink the night before. I was like such an idiot. I was like in the city. I was living on Long Island at the time. I was in the city at like 4.30 a.m. And I had to like get in a car at six to drive up to Boston for like a day game baseball game. Yikes. And I was like,

I couldn't have been more hung over. I got driven to like a train, took a train to Connecticut, got in their car. I'm sitting in the back of like a, a like a pickup truck basically on all the way all the way up to Boston I honestly wanted to throw up every single second that we

were in the car we get to a restaurant like oh Frankie's hung over look at him he's like he's fucking he's as pale as a ghost more than usual I was like okay I know I'm white and then uh and like here buddy like become a man have a like we're gonna order you something it's the best thing it'll make you feel great

afterwards they get me a bloody mare I never had a bloody mare before I take one sip of this thing thinking it's just tomato juice I didn't know there's alcohol in it at the time I knew but I didn't know how much it would taste, I took one sip, I threw up at the table. Come on. In front of all these guys, I just threw up at the table. I took one sip, I was like, blah.

It all came out of me. And I'll always remember which seat I was in. It's at this bar right outside Fenway. You can see Fenway from the fucking bar. It's like that corner bar right there. And I'm just looking at Fenway as I'm like cleaning up there up. I'm like, the guys are like, oh, fuck. Like, what is going on here, Frankie?

I'm not a bloody-marry guy either, Frank. No, but they say like that type of mix, like the tomato juice. Yeah. It's like nutrients. And the liquor's supposed to help you do. Hair of the dog. You just get drunk again. That's really what it is.

So weird. I don't know how that would ever fix anything. It makes you feel better. I mean, it just doubles it up from the hangover for the next day, but you forget about that in the moment. Oh, definitely. That's the best. But I've just, I think every two years is usually my time table when I convince myself that I'm going to try Bloody Mary again and I'm going to like it. And I've never liked it ever.

All right. It's like me with all types of like scotch and whiskey and stuff. I just can't drink it one of these days. Oh, yeah? whiskey sticks Yeah Trent has his Whiskey and whiskey

Well it's like I see like I see K Marco and all these guys out here They're sitting there with their fucking nice big ice cubes They're they're a product of Of generations of people who say that you should drink whiskey And it's good and it makes you a man They're just pawns in a larger scheme Oh I just opened up

I'm just saying a big whiskey You think they're product of big whiskey They are a product of big whiskey If you watch like things like Mad Men And all these guys are all these tough guys John Hamm with their with their beautiful hair and their hard chins. Yeah, and they're all just like slamming whiskey.

That goes into the real world and people are like, oh, if I want to be like John Hammond, madman, I got to drink whiskey. And then it just perpetuates for generations and generations. Do you know how bad? No one actually likes whiskey. It's just, it's not a thing, and people are just pretending that. That's incorrect. It's not.

People enjoy the drink. They don't. Yes, they do. They say they do. I think you couldn't be more wrong on this. And that's coming from me. I say a lot of wrong things. I'm actually in the weeds right now saying,

Herrick Lundquist couldn't make the whole thing. I mean, one time you said cricket players were the highest-paid athletes in the world. And I found, and I found a document on the Qatar News.com saying one player for the amount of games he played more, made more money that year than any other player. Oh, my God. Let me say this. And then we'll move on to the year in review. I mean, people like whiskey. There may be people who like whiskey, but the number of people isn't as big.

The real number isn't with the number of people who said it like. Arthur Shelby. Arts. He likes whiskey. Yes. But there are people out there, and we did a poll on it on Twitter, and it was true. There are people out there who drink whiskey to pretend to like it. I'm not saying that all of them are doing it.

I'm saying that there is a larger number of people who say they like it, but they don't actually like it. I can get behind that. Okay, but it could be like one person that's done it before. It's a vocal minority because they're the people taking the pictures. Yeah, I think that. I could see that. I will say I like scotch. I don't love it, but there are certain times where I like it.

I've also had it before and taken the first couple of cents have been like, oh, man. I wouldn't say this is like delicious. This is kind of about it. When I drink whiskey or I have drank whiskey in the past, I take it, I drink it, I say I, this objectively tastes like jet fuel. It doesn't taste good. It's not like a, is whiskey better than a Coca-Cola? No. No, but really no fucking alcohol is.

Like, that's why when I have a nice meal that I really want to enjoy, I'll get a fucking Coke. Oh my God, yeah. You can't convince me not to. These people out there are drinking beers at their dinner. Grow up. I have beer at my dinner. Like, if I'm having like a bird. I'll have a nice, like, I'll have a nice, ice cold beer.

But if I'm going to eat, like, a steak and I want, like, all my tastefuls, if I want to enjoy my meal, if I want to sit back at the end and be like, well, fuck me, that was a good tasting meal, I'm going to have something that's, like, sugary and tasteful, you know what I mean? People who drink whiskey in and are like, wow, that tastes delicious, I don't trust them. Oh, we got Jake, producer Jake over here is probably to jump through the window. I think listening to Trent Daddy tell him that nobody in the world actually likes whiskey. You've been on that take for a while.

I was like, wasn't that a while? It was six years ago. Something, yeah, it was dark shy, and I don't think. people like dark chocolate either. That was it. I had one blog where I was like dark chocolate and whiskey people. There are people who say they like that are liars. And it got the internet all riled up. Want to have a fun Tuesday night and be productive

It's like, I'm just going to drink this real quick and then I'm going to wake up tomorrow with absolutely no hangover. It kind of feels like those fancy tubes in Jurassic Park that the guy puts the dinosaur eggs in. That's except you're pulling that type of fancy tube out. It's a blue that glows and it has like a gold top. It's like the thing in water boy, you know, when he pulls out that special water? Yeah, that's exactly what it feels like that too. Like when you drink it, it's got a taste that, you know, that it comes down. You obviously know it's not water.

It has like a taste to it. But it's not a bad taste. And then you wake up the next day and you just like, I describe, I just said this before to you guys, I fucking hate when I have hangovers and my eyes hurt. Yeah. Because I wear contacts and shit.

Speaking of six or eight months ago, a little transition right there, professional podcasting.

What's up? What's up? What's start at the Masters? Let's start at the Masters. We went to Gary Players' house. We could have stayed at fucking Gary Players' house. We did, yeah. That was a very strange thing.

We got, well, first we got lost. We thought we got duped. We thought we got duped trolled by a hater of ours for about five minutes. And that's all on video. Us driving around this neighborhood in Georgia being like, and Riggs was very much like, we got duped, we came down here for nothing. We spent all this money. We told Dave that we were going to get all this content with Gary Player, and then we really thought that we had been duped. And our guy, Bo, shout to my boy, Bo.

he did give us a wrong address to a house that doesn't exist. Right. So it was like, let's call the address, you know, 1457 is what he gave us. And we go, there's a house 1456, there's a house 1458. And there's just not a 1457. So we're standing there and I'm like, we came all the way from fucking New York. We're down here from Mass week and we're going to stay. This idiot told us that we were going to stay at Gary Players' house and we believed him.

How stupid are we doing? Of course the house doesn't exist. I could see you doing the math in your head like, what were the email addresses? How did this guy first contact me? Like, where did we get? How did we get here? Yes. And then kind of doing it because I had done those checkpoints in my brain already to make

sure we got to this point that it was real. And he had gotten, we had had Mr. Gary player on the podcast before about six months before the Masters. Yeah. At the end of last year. So I was like, is it the same guy trying to go back, go back, go back, go back. because at that point, again, we had had no physical contact yet with anyone from Mr. Gary Players team. No phone call. Correct.

Phone call, yes, but no physical contact. Like, we hadn't, like, seen anyone yet. We'd been there for like a day. Yep. For half a day. So it was, we were panicking. Turns out he did just accidentally give us the wrong address by like one number. It was like, no, no, it's this one.

And then we drove up and he was outside, hello, come on in. And then we stayed at Mr. Gary Players' house. We literally slept under the same roof as Mr. Gary player, the same week at Augusta National. The same what? The same roof. That's not real. Roof. I mean, that's not real.

The same roof? The same what? Are you a dog? Are you a cartoon dog? The same rough? Frankie's getting into revenge right now. I mean, are we going to start calling you Clifford? What the fuck is going on here?

Hey, that's Rigsie Weather. I did. I heard it, but I was going to let it go. Then he said it twice. He did, yeah. You doubled that, and he smacked me right in the fucking face. He said rough twice, right in my fucking face. I say rough. That's crazy.

I mean, you could throw it. I mean, that sounds like a dog. Same rough? That's a, you ever see David Blaine? You know David Blaine? I know who David Blaine is. You ever see the old school. It's like one of the first viral videos ever.

It's like the David Blaine impersonation. He was like, David Blaine put me on the roof. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, it's a funny video. I believe you. He's like, you put me on the, roof but they say roof so ridiculously because they wanted it to be I don't think I'm saying they're ridiculous I think that's how the way they say roof is so outrageous say the roof

red roof in you say red rough in red roof in say it red roof in say it red roof in say it right say it how you say it twice in a row rough rough I'm not gonna do that okay that's good that was Frankie's revenge for for everything I've ever said true I mean I'm fun it's that's you know we did we say we did we say we did we say we Gary Player, when we first got there, he was sleeping. We had to tiptoe around the house. We legitimately had to take our shoes off and socks on carpet type tiptoeing around and not make enough noise.

At that point, did you guys, had you guys seen Gary Player, like right when you walking to the house? No. Okay. You're seeing him the next day? He's a huge sleep guy. Got it. This was like five in the morning, by the way.

The sun wasn't even up yet. So we had to get our badges from Mr. Gary Player's squad. So we rolled in. We met his team. We met his younger son, who's the absolute man. We met, again, kind of his crew and some of his family. He's got a big team. Yeah, he's got a pretty good-sized team.

I mean, not huge, but close. It's a family team. It's like, all the people that are close to him are all working, like, full-time under the Gary Player brand. You know, it was hard to really tell, like, definitely the bigger players, 100%. And his son, his son's whole main gig is he basically has taken the Gary Player Black Knight brand and runs it. And sort of, you know, runs the whole show down to. to, you know, he tries to convince his father, Mr. Gary player, you know, how he should dress,

that he should really wear that black tie because it looks better with the green jacket. He was telling us how he has these conversations with him, down to, you know, figuring out the logistics on where they're going to build their next course and logistics for that and all that. So he kind of, he kind of runs the show and he's the man. He's super charismatic guy. He's, he's, the guy was built for dinners. Oh, yeah. Just Mr. Dinner guests.

Like telling stories. making you feel like you're part of the family. Then all of a sudden he brings in his dad comes in from the Champions Dinner, which actually fucking happened, comes in after the Champions Dinner, which we dropped him off at, that first night that we were there on Tuesday. And he comes in and he sits down.

He's like, oh, here, pop, have my chair. And he sits in his chair while he gets down on one knee while Mr. Gary Player is sitting there telling stories from the Champions Day. Gary Players is crushing raspberries. Pounding raspberries. Just crushing radars. Is that the key to long successful life? I mean, Gary Player, you used to.

He sleeps a lot. He's very in tune with, like, conserving his energy, and he's always just eating something. He's always eating small food. Yeah. Remember he almost died when I told him what I eat every day? Yeah. He laughed so hard that he almost died.

That's on video as well. Yeah. We were, like, nervous. He was like bent over, right? I shot Riggs a glance, like, we're going to be the guys that killed Gary Player. Like, that's what this trip is going to be. He was laughing so hard, he started coughing, and we were like, oh, no, this could be it. Like, I've heard that coughing from my.

My grandpa got off like that. Because of what we did to Gary Player. So, yeah, we did the whole Gary Player thing at the Masters, which was outrageous. And I was trying to think back. Yeah, so we were there Tuesday through, what, Friday? Or Thursday. Thursday. I think we took off Thursday.

Thursday because we came back and we wanted to be covered it, you know, watching. We were able to watch it all Friday, Saturday, Sunday. So we were down to Mr. Gary Players for the Masters, which was unbelievable. Those videos, if people started listening to the podcast later and you don't remember that or anything of that, Those videos are on the website, Marshallsports.com, those videos are on YouTube. This is also fresh off of you and I

at the Cousins Retreat, and people were just like, you guys just go out and travel and hang out with like 70-year-old men. That's pretty much what it seemed like. So if you want to, you can watch all those videos

of me and Riggs just hanging out with old guys. There are, there might be two hours worth of, it might be four hours worth of footage on the internet of you and me hanging out with people

that are over the age of 71 years old. Yes. There were very different trips. With Gary Player, we were working out in front of the house. And then with the cousins, we were just, like, eating at restaurants. Yeah, that's right. So. Yeah, but, but yeah, the Gary Player videos, I think there's two 15-minute videos, and it's all kinds of stuff. We got a tour of his house.

We got, you know, we were doing meals with him. We dropped them off at the Champions dinner where he was reliving some of the shots against that Arnold Palmer hit against him. It was crazy to go check those out. But the fact that that actually happened is nuts. I put down here that we had Sean Foley and Hank Haney on the show. Yep. Two of Tiger's former swing coaches. That was us slowly making our way into his inner circle.

Yeah, that was... We're trying to, like, get close to him. We really started to surround him. Yeah. At that point, we got those guys on. I remember Hank Haney just being like, I don't think anybody's read my book more than you have to me. You were, you were like quoting page by page back to him.

It's, you know what it was, was that it was... It was one of the first books I downloaded on to, like, Kindle on my app, on my phone. And so anytime I'm in a bind, I would just start reading it again. Okay. You know, especially on the subway when you run out of service or something. Yeah. And you don't have a good article pulled up and you don't have it downloaded the right podcast or you've already listened to them or whatever. And I just needed something. I would just start reading that again. And then I'd go through for several days, I would just kind of read some of my favorite chapters.

So I've read those a million times. So anyways, we had the Hank Haney. We had Schoen-Henny on, I think right before the Masters. So he was telling us all about Tiger's game. What was he getting to do with the Masters? Didn't you say he thought he was going to win the Masters? He thought, yeah, he did. I did say he thought, no.

I thought he was going to win another major. I couldn't remember exactly what he said. I can't remember either. You have to go back and listen, ladies and gentlemen. Or maybe it'll be in the best of next week. I put on here, too, the Stewart Sink interview, which that's kind of floating under the radar because that was earlier in the year. We've had some, just a couple of bigger names that we got later in the year this year.

The Stewart Sink interview was awesome. And my favorite part was the story he told about how when he and Tom Watson were going into the playoff, the famous year where Stewart Sink was wearing his ridiculous. lime green outfit and was basically like considered the devil because he beat 59 year old Tom Watson in the British Open that he, Stuart Sink, sat back and went into a porter potty into the bathroom to make sure that he was the second guy onto the tea at the playoff so that Tom Watson would have to hear Stewart Sink get a standing ovation when he walked out of the T so that he would know that like no people are kind of rooting for me too buddy.

Oh man. Which was very, very cool story. So we had the Stewart's Sink on. I got to ask Stuart Sink finally about his infamous tan line. That was really the highlight for me of the Stewart Sink interview. I want to be like, what were you thinking? That was great. Yeah.

That was great. Yeah. He said he knew something was up when, because no media members he said, like usually wait for him to come off the course. Right. And that day there were throes of them waiting and he had to be like, something happened. Either somebody died or I did something wrong. I think that's easy. I was thinking like who died.

Yeah. I wonder who died. Yeah. This could be, this must be really bad. He just had a really bad tan line on his head. Yeah, he legit. I mean, his head looked like a half-worse. The worst, the worst handline.

Ever. Ever. Yeah, I think maybe ever. I think maybe ever. There's a lot of bad ones in the golf world, but that was really bad. Yeah, Patrick Reed had a bad one I remember. Oh, yeah. He looked like when you're a dying Easter eggs.

What a great example. Very nice, Frank. Thank you. You've been sitting on that one? No, it just came up to my head, yeah. That's good. Yeah, you know, you've been kind of on fire today. I appreciate that.

That's great. 66% of men lose their hair by age 35. The thing is when you start to notice hair loss, it is too late, much easier to keep the hair you have than to replace the hair you have lost. Frankie just said his whole shower. His apartment is basically four hymns because his roommates are all in on this. Every cabinet open, there's just a four-hams bottle. It's crazy. Shampoo, prevention, all the, like the propitia gummies, everything's everywhere.

And they're getting all, they're getting re-growth. Just hair is just growing. It's coming back. Is that hair line slowly starting to move backwards? That's what the Cobby says. slowly starting to move backwards. Frankie, why are you looking at me, man? I can't stop thinking about how someone said that your head looks like an iPhone

X. You know, I honestly don't think I've laughed that hard on this podcast all year. That was one of the funniest things that ever heard. It was a good burn from that Twitter user. No doubt about it. That guy who's using Twitter, he used it good in that spot. That was good. Way to go, buddy.

You iPhone X headed ass. Yep. Frank is roasting me, dude. these commercials. I think Frankie thinks it's just like a free pass to just roast retry.

He doesn't do that. He doesn't do that. Oh, we got the Four Hymns Street? All right. iPhone X. Let's roll. You brought this on your stuff. I did.

I did. You looked at me. You were looking at me. Yeah. Hymns connects you with real doctors and medical grade solutions to treat hair loss,

well-known generic equivalents, the name brand prescriptions to help you keep your hair. No snake oil pills or gas station counter-supplements prescription solutions that are backed by science.

This would cost hundreds if you went to the doctor or a pharmacy. All you got to do is go to forhems.com slash foreplay. That's F-O-R-H-I-M-S dot com slash forplay. Then we had the Mulligan Challenge, which I was doing a little bit of research. And the Mulligan Challenge, all of that came literally from a guy emailing us. How many Mulligans would you need to win the Masters?

And I didn't read it until after the Masters. So I just changed it to U.S. Open. That's right. And then we did it as a From the Gallery that like a couple weeks after the Masters and debated it and had this fun chat. And it got to the point where we're like, if you had unlimited Mulligans could you win the freaking U.S.O. That spilled out into the office. Dave caught wind of it. And boom.

And I was even, I was watching because we're working on a highlight tape to round out the four play year. as well. And Jake's working on that. He's been doing an amazing job, and we've been looking at some of the clips. And some of the clips from the Mulligan Chen is like, I still watching that. I went back and thought about it from the very beginning. I still, like, don't believe that he could shoot three under and a round. It shouldn't have got.

It was crazy. It doesn't make sense. He hit some unbelievably good shots compared to, like, what we thought he was going to do, right? Like, he was 185 yards out. He put it on the green. That was the disconnect going on. We had, because we had watched. We've golfed with Dave, like, once or twice maybe, I don't know, and he just

couldn't get the ball off the ground. That was our memory of how Dave Pornoy plays called. Like that's the point that he kept unlimited. He would have stayed. He proved that. He would have stayed until he did it. Every put. It was,

and it's true. It's just, but even the other day I was thinking about it again, I was like, I still don't think he could do it tomorrow. There's no way. And it was like, he just proved that it's just,

he would have blown out Shinnegoc. Like he would have dominated with the unlimited ball. It's such a crazy thing to say. But yeah, so that all started from a freaking, from the gals. submission somebody emailed for play at barcelesports.com then that led to we got we had actually we had two spots in the media day at shinnock that's all we had originally was just like two spots

that's right we're going to go up we're going to film a cool little video maybe us playing the u.s open open course something cool like that and then the dave thing i meant so on then i hit up dave was like well how about you take a spot i'll take a spot we'll take a spot we'll see we get one camera guy on there we'll kind of like try to keep up with the guy group in front of us hoping nobody says anything and we'll see how close we can come to it he was like okay and then And then we got an email two days before. So it was on a Monday that the Mulligan Challenge one. We got an email that's Saturday from the USGA, our close personal friend now.

That was like, we're all in on the Mulligan Challenge. Remember they chirp? They did like usually it's one shot. Everybody knows the rules like that. So that all elevated. We were like, what fucking planet are we living on here? And then next you know, we're at Shinnecock. Dave brought an army of people.

Tommy smokes. Frankie. Zah. The whole crew, Zah's running around in the front. Fescue all over Shinnock kills. The Fescue was literally higher than Zazhead. Shinakok. He saw Nick Price, remember Zah?

Yeah. Nick Price and was like, you're my hero? Nick Price is in Bob Wey. Unreal. So then that whole thing happened. I showed up to the golf course with one of those fucking ball holders, you know, like the punching bags that you usually use on practice screens. I filled that thing up with 125 golf balls.

Credit to Zah came back with over 100 of them. It was crazy. We lost like 10 golf balls. And people, you should have seen this. I mean, Dave was spraying him, especially on 18. He must have hit 30 or 40 shots. Balls everywhere. What was it one part three where they say it's like a, it's like the hardest part three in the world?

The 11th. Yeah. I mean, he must have hit. That's there. They say it's the hardest part five in Long Island, or the shortest part five in Long Island. Yeah. It's a 150 year. He was in between a seven iron and an eight iron.

He just couldn't get it. He just couldn't get it right. He made Bertie on the fucking hole. It's funny. Must have hit 50 shots. What's funny is that not many people realize Dave used my clubs. That's crazy, too. Yeah, he used my clubs.

I didn't realize that. The only club that was his that he took out of his bag was a seven iron. Oh, I'm sorry, six iron. Because I didn't have a six iron at the time. I broke mine. It, like, snapped when I was in the woods. Like, two years ago, I never got a new one because I could never find a specific fucking six iron. It was a debacle.

I just played for two years without a six iron. So he took a six iron out of his bag and put it in. and I think that was the club that he was in between on. It was like a six iron and seven iron, and I'm pretty sure it's because like he was hitting the bolt pretty well, but like one was like his older club and then one was like my like Mzuna or whatever the fuck it was. And then he, yeah. Wow.

Jesus gets worse and worse. And now my clubs are now in the trash because I got these unbelievable new ones. Yeah, tie-less. Woo. So that all, the fact that all happened, then we were credentialed at the U.S. Open. Remember we could just basically do whatever we wanted.

We're like inside the ropes. That Saturday at the U.S. Open when Phil had his incident. Still have my sticker on my laptop. So do I, the yellow sticker. Oh, yeah. That's nice, isn't it? Yeah, you let people know where you've been.

You got to let them now. No, I'm legit. I have a credentialed sticker from the U.S. Open. Correct. No big deal. So then we were credentialed inside the ropes of the U.S. Open. We were out there all week. We were on Saturday.

We had a boys day there or we just roamed around inside the ropes. It was such a surreal experience. I remember I was so nervous to go underneath the ropes. Oh, yeah. At one point, I was by myself. and I just like and I saw Phil walking to the left he's like walking right by me and I'm still behind the ropes I have a I have a in between the ropes pass on but I'm behind the ropes and I see Riggs just following Phil on the other side and I look at him I'm like oh my god and I just went underneath the rope and walked over to him I'm like hey and I was waiting I looked over my shoulder for someone to tackle me and then he just proceeded to follow him up the fairway like Frankie's hiding in the gallery hope a I'm literally, I must have been walking up the middle of fairway right behind Philbockson, five feet behind Finn Meckleson.

We took such a little, like we were, at one point, we were just like walking wherever the hell we wanted. It was crazy. And like no one stopped us because we were allowed to do it. It was awesome. That was just the coolest. Are USGA friends out there? I'm sure you're listening.

That was the coolest. That might have been the most purely just shocking and cool moment of where we're at with everything. was that Saturday at Shinnock when it was just beautiful outside there was chaos going on everywhere controversy drama they lost control of course

your boy Zach Johnson and then we're just inside the road just able to go wherever we want and cover it and then talk all about it that podcast that we did a couple days afterwards was one of the biggest podcasts we've ever done in the history of foreplay talking all about it and then shortly after that we had Colin Montgomery

in studio, Belmonti. Remember we drank whiskey? Speaking of whiskey. Yeah. You don't think Colin Montgomery likes whiskey? Hot take. I think Colin Montgomery likes whiskey. I think Colin Montgomery fucking, like, washes out his mouth after he

brushes his teeth with whiskey. I think that guy's bright on whiskey. He might be, he's one of the few people who... He lives off whiskey. I know. He lives off whiskey. He sits in the back of his porch and he watches, like, he looks over on a golf course and he just like sips on whiskey.

I mean, he literally came in here for like a media tour. thing and just he just kept crushing whiskey with us. I'm a coward too. That was a couple, that was like a couple weeks after my whiskey take, and I didn't say it to Colin Montgomery. Oh, I'm willing to admit. Does that been eating you alive a little bit? A little bit.

Every time I think about that Collin Montgomery interview, I think like, God, I could have given my whiskey take. He was also pitching the Locke Lomeman whiskey, which was the official whiskey in pretty open, so it would have been really tough. I didn't want to step on his, you know, his pitch. Yeah, but he was really, really cool. And that was an interesting guy to get in because I'm sure we all had our moments growing up where we hated Collin'clock.

For sure. Mrs. Delfire, all that type of stuff. Yep. Used to make fun of him. Loved it when he choked at the US Open at Wingfoot in 2006. It was great to see. And then all of a sudden he comes in. He's like the nicest, friendliest, like most jovial guy in the world.

So we got to meet Monty. Then on July 3rd is when we interviewed Armin Catean. What a time. He, uh, he's famous for writing that book. He's a writer. Well, he's not even famous for writing that book. He's an unbelievable. I actually, he's a journalist.

He's a fucking well-renowned writer. Oh, he's a savage. Like, he is a, like, uh, he's done, he's done a bunch of these investigative off when we interviewed him. Yeah, he's, yeah, he's done like a bunch of these investigative journalistic pieces and these series. But he wrote that one. Oh, shit. So he wrote the one that's, that was golf related. It's got Tiger Woods's face right on the front of him.

I will say. When you're going through the bookstore, you walk past the sports section, you're looking through and you see Tiger Woods's face. You're like, what the hell is you're walking through Frankie's apartment is right down. When you go play chel. and the new golf tour, what is it? The golf club. The golf club, 2019,

and you get your ass kicked by Frankie in it and get really upset. This book stares you right in the face. We had a holiday party on Saturday at my apartment, and we fucking, oh, by the way, remember we were, like, debating if we can fit 20 people in my apartment? We fit 28 people, and there was room for 20 more. It was crazy.

Yeah, when you have a party, everyone just, like, they stand together, they mingle in the rooms. It was crazy. Yeah, people like to just be together. They mingle. We put a little lights up, and I lit up the book that we're trying to find the name of. I lit it up with, like, Christmas candles. And literally he, like, illuminated the book.

The biography about Tiger Woods. I think the name of the book with Tiger Woods on the front of the page, it's called Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods. That's the name of the book. It is Tiger Woods. The easiest name of all time. So July 3rd was Armicott. How did they write Tiger Woods?

How fucking dumb are all these people that we still are making fun of them? What? Like, is the name, like, how is that, like, the first book ever called Tiger Woods? Yeah, I don't know what the legalities of that are. Like, we're just going to name it Tiger Woods. Yeah, I'm not sure where, how they just do that. There was no, like, there's, like, creative, like, oh, we have to think of a great name. Like, from dawn to dusk, like something crazy.

Like, no. It is interesting. They just said, we're going to name it Tiger Woods. Like, it's almost so easy that I can see why our followers that we make fun of all the time are wondering what's the name of this book. It can't just be called Tigerwood. Yeah. It can't be the name of it. Just can't be.

He was great. I loved Armicentaine. He was really good. He was great. He's always liking my tweets and stuff. I always find it funny when I'm tweeting about like Henrik Lunk was not being in the Hall of Fame in Armicotain.

It's just like, God, I agree, Frankie. It's just like funny stuff. Yeah, he, I think he likes that he's got like a couple of the,

like, I don't know. It's like, that's like the bad boys. The bad boy of the internet is like we kind of, there's a certain little bit of thing that comes with like, you know, being associated with barstool. Yeah, I think he kind of edgy.

Yeah, right. I think he gets a kick out of that. do he was awesome on the we were supposed to have for like 10 minutes we had it on for like we did that remember that we just kept them on i feel like we got i feel like i should start telling our our guests that we're not just going to have you on for 10 minutes like it's probably going to be 30 to an hour and i think it works better the other way you'd be like that's it because it's easier to get them on 10 minutes 10 minutes that's why i do it it's been easy it's never been 10 minutes ever people are more than happy to talk because they're usually talking about themselves it's always way longer that's true then the british open

carnoosey remember this i found this headline tiger is de lofted is two iron oh yeah for the stinger Oh my God. Remember how fired up we were for that? There was alarms going through all the towns of, like, Carnusti. And, like, er. Tiger has de lofted his two iron. He had delofted his two iron because of the firm brown conditions at Carnusti. Remember that shot in the fuck from the, from the bunker?

Oh, on the 10th hole on Sunday when you had the lead. We watch all watch that together with a bar, root. And that's the, that bar we watched it as where you got that fuck. Correct. That's correct. That's correct. cheese burger. Yep.

That's correct. Oh, wow. I didn't get it that day, though. That came all the way back. How did you know that? Because I've gotten it there. Or I've been with someone that's eating it there. And there's also places in Long Island.

Like, there's all these crafty burger. And it's weird. Because I really like that place. I just don't think I'm a mac and cheese burger guy. Right. I love that place. That was great stuff. That came all the full same.

I knew that you knew. I don't know how you knew, but I knew that you did. People are going to know, too, because we advertised that watch party. Yeah. I wouldn't recommend it if you go there. I recommend everything else there. I didn't like it. Remember how happy we were that we were like,

oh, he might win this. We were going great. We were going bat-hit crazy inside that part. And then it ended so quickly. He doubled the next hole and then it was just over. And then we realized, like, wait a second, the last four holes are impossible. What wasn't?

He went to that flop shot over the bunker. Yeah, so he hit his two iron into the, or whatever iron hit off the T into the right rough, and then it grabbed his club and yanked it left. And instead of bumping it out left and having 15 feet for par, he tried to hit the flopper, came back, but down from there.

We were like, just play it safe. Go for the par. Stop being a hero. You're screaming at the TV. It's not like that late in the, like, you can still recover from this. But if you fuck up, you can't. He bogeed the next hole. There's three over through those two holes.

Just over. But man, that run he made. Francisco Molinari, man. Just, he was. Just nails. Nails. That was, that next show was when you became an asshole. And you started talking about the Italian waiter and that mozzarella and all your shenanigans.

Yes. Yeah. That's right. It is. Molinar is what brought it out of me. Rough. You said. You got that guy. Last night I got in, I was, so I wanted, uh, my girlfriend goes, what do you want to

eat tonight, right? So she was out in apartment. I was doing work. We were working somewhere. I don't know why I said it like that. We were in. Everybody knows it was on, like a fly stream. I know.

We were literally live with you. That is so weird. We're burying a body out by the river. We were working in Hoboken. And then I said it sketchily like you weren't actually. I know. I hope I just hope you never get, I hope you never get like. tried for a murder that you didn't come in.

I'm so bad at this shit. Totally. Because, like, you'll just, you'll be doing the time. You're going to be that guy that confesses to something you had literally not going to do. Yeah. Anyway, she goes, what do you want to make? I'm like, why don't we make some shrimp parma? Like, sauteed shrimp parmese to make that all the time.

You know, we'll just, we'll just skill it. We'll, like, we'll fry, we'll saute the shrimp. We'll do the nice parmesan cheese. The, the, the mozzarella cheese. How do you guys want to say it? What was that for? A mozzarella cheese. You don't have to, like, you know, now you're making a side.

We were just a nice big family under the rough eating mozzarella cheese. Oh, you're really going to milk that one. Anyway, so I came back, and she had gotten fresh mozzarella. And I was like, there it is. It came right out. And I just got, I was like, oh, I thought we were going to have shrimp parm. You know, I thought, but you can't have it with the fresh mozzarella. And then I started, she's like, well, what's a difference?

And then it, like, it just came out of me. My roommate's here, and I'm like, well, the fresh matadale. And I started, like, rolling the words. Like, it was crazy. I'm like, well, the fresh matadale, you're going to chop it up. And it's not going to melt the same way. And everyone's, like, looking at me. I'm like, they're like, what the fuck's wrong with you?

Like, there's no way someone speaks like that. Even my friends from Long Island. They're like, you just turned into like this like, older Italian grandmother. Sounds like you turned into Laredo. It was, I was doing my hands. I was like, well, the fresh butteo. Like, I was like churching it up. It was crazy.

I actually had to step back. That's what we've been saying to you for fucking three months. But that one more specifically when I like get like heated like that. Like when someone's like, well, what's the difference? I'm like, well, I'll tell you the difference. It's crazy. Damn. But yeah, it was.

I actually want to text you guys be like, I think I just realized. Like, I had an epiphany on, like, the way I say words. Good. I'm glad to hear it. Then the PGA, Belarive, speaking to the way that you say words. Well, I knocked that one out of the park. That was great. You change the game.

You change the way people should. No, they're ever going to call that Belarive ever again. It's Belarie. Belarive. No, that one you nailed. Like, the whole world thanks you for getting Belarive. And you lived, like, by Belarie your whole life. You never called it Belarie.

Never. Never. That was when I first met Bryson. Really, that really was a big meeting. That took us, that took us to a place that elevated our... Let's switch the podcast, right? Because we were all Bryson haters. Yeah.

We all just, he irked the shit out of us. And we all, everything he did, we dissected. And then you met him for those 15 seconds. 15 minutes. And you came back here, you know, talking like this guy walked on water and everything was great and dandy. And we still felt, we still were like, there's no way. It's calculated.

What I said was not that he walks on water. Was that he's easy? a genuine guy that I had gone there. The things I'd been Karsh on were some of the same things that you guys talk about now, that I wasn't sure if he's just doing the science stuff for what kind of reasons he's doing it for. I didn't love the fact that earlier in the year, or I guess it was the year prior when he was in all these Microsoft commercials over the weekend, but he's missing every cut. I didn't love that.

However, the fact that he had started to win and the fact that I had seen him in person, that he was really true to all the stuff that I had heard, that he was over on the end of the range, having fun, trying to... Throwing balls to kids. Throwing balls to kids, trying to throw it in the trash can over his back, just having fun in the driving range. So wacky. This guy's a genuine guy.

He's a little bit of a nerd, sure, but he's a genuine guy that's into what he's doing. He's obsessed with everything golf. He's trying to get better at it, and I can respect that. That's what I came back with. I believe that's what you guys came away with after the interview where he absolutely buried Frankie, put him 100 feet under. But anyways, PGA Championship Tiger again. Yeah, as I was just thinking when you were going through,

through these last, those last majors, it's like, these are just the ones that Tiger almost won. I know, these two. Could have been a massive year. Yeah. I mean, it was still a huge year, obviously, but, like, it could have just, it could have just been, like, on a balloon. Tiger was in position to dominate the PGA tour this year. Imagine if you would have just won the British Open at Carnusti, at, like, legendary

carnusti out of the clouds like that? That would have been, what would that even, like, a major championship? I've absolutely no idea. We were so ready. We had the video clips ready. We were going to drop of all the. of all the haters, all the people that are on the list that we have, the short list of people to relentlessly mock when Tiger finally wins,

a major, all of that. We had all of that ready to go, and then he went double and then bogey. And then at the PGA championship, he actually got off to a horrible start. He was like three over two or three holes on the front nine. And then he just lit on fire. Remember Sunday he couldn't hit a fairway. Couldn't hit a fairway.

He shot 64, I think. He's played great. Something like that. So I don't know what kind of week that was. That was when he had the mallet going. Remember that? Oh, yeah. The fact that he had the mallet going and was both.

I remember rooting for him to hit it into the rough at one point. He was like just stay there. Whatever you're doing is working. As long as you don't have to take a penalty stroke off the T, that's like a good shot. Yep. For Tiger, the way that he was driving the ball at that point. Finished two shots back from Brooks Kepka. And he had that run on Sunday.

He hit his horrible T shot on 17, that part five that really kind of cost, not cost it, it kind of ended up making a par from there and so did adam scott and brooks kepka i believe in the final group so um that wasn't necessary the end but then tiger birded 18 he gave a little fist pump because you never really know he got that huge standing ovation when he walked over the bridge after 18 they kind of showed that sea of people um that was kind of i feel like that was really the okay he is really truly back moment of it's just not a matter of if it's a matter of win. He obviously can do it on Sunday of a major championship in contention. He shot of, I believe the number was 64. He didn't back down. Brooks Kevka just went out there and made a couple

more birdies and that was the difference. So that really sent us into the FedEx Cup playoffs. He changed shafts in his driver and started hitting a lot more fairways. He opened with a 62 at Erronima. And that was the tournament. Kegan ended up winning, but Tiger was right there. and then a couple weeks later, he breaks through, it wins the tour championship, which was unlike anything I've ever really seen in golf.

That was crazy. Every time I watch the highlights from our boy B. Slings. Shout out. Got to love B. Slings. The guy's great. It's just, it almost makes you tear up every time. Oh, speaking of tearing up. Okay.

You guys seen Crazy Rich Asians? No. Great movie. Is it really? I watched it. Loved it. Dave said, I think, I think Dave said.

No, Dave said he liked it. Yeah, Dave said he liked it. How are so many people? Francis didn't like it, I don't think. Really? I could be wrong. I saw it. I watched it on the plane and it was awesome.

Hmm. And I teared up like five times. Wow. Which I don't usually cry during movies. So I don't know if I was just in a weird state because it was on the flight there. And you were just like, oh, I got a poop? No, not in the moment. Because I watched it really early in the flight.

It wasn't a weird state. Now that I think about it, I hadn't even thought about that. But I, I teared up like five times. I watched. I think everything in here was just just ready. My whole system was off. I once watched Manchester by the sea on a plane. I was in a middle seat on my way back from Vegas

from one of these trips that we did, like DP 40 or whatever. And I was an emotional dude at the time. I was so hungover. I was just like a puddle. Manchester by the sea, man. I watched that thing in a middle seat in between two people. I swear to God the guy next to me had to put his hand on my back because I was weeping.

I was absolutely weeping. There were parts where I was like, well, oh, fuck. I said that out loud. Like out loud like oh fuck me Like Stop Then I watch Coco on a plane I cried too

Jesus I think the guy There might be something you're on a plane You guys are crying on a plane I cry I'm a cry too I think the guy next to me I play him was just like This guy's the biggest pussy in the world

I just kept tearing Rich Asians Yeah How the fucking crying five times It was so beautiful Just the the relationship That these two have And how much they love each other

It was and how perfect they are for each other. Oh, it was beautiful. Wow. It was really just a beautiful movie. But yeah, that's how we felt watching Tiger at the two championships. That's, I felt the same way watching Tiger when he's coming down 18. I watched Tiger at my restaurant with a bunch of my buddies and my dad.

We were in the bar. We turned it on every single TV, put it on the surround sound. We just felt like we were there. We just had like, we just, no one talked. We were all going crazy. And then as he walked up to 18th Green, no one said a word. Oh, man. It was crazy.

That is so cool. So that happened. and that's got us obviously we're still beside ourselves over the fact that Tiger, you know, he finished out 2018 the season with a win. That means the sky's the limit going into 2019. We did have the Ryder Cup disaster, which I don't even know how much we want to talk about, except for that it gave us some of the beauty of the drama afterwards. Yeah, a ton of drama.

Which we're still ongoing, yeah. I was going to say the fall, it's still happening. Which we're still getting, I forgot to bring this up. But on the Patrick Reed situation, we had a, so we had an, an exaliener, Explosive quote came out from Kevin Kisner, who I believe we were some of the first people in really getting the exposure to Kevin Kisner that he deserves because he is just a beauty. He is laugh out loud funny. He's just a South Carolina Southern boy who is the fucking man. He's awesome.

He's been on this show three or four times. We've made videos with him. He got us. He gave me his Inside the Ropes pass for the practice round on Wednesday of U.S. Open week, where he literally gave me his pitching wedge and was like, I don't use this club of this course. You can just like chip around on the greens and shit. So Kiz is the absolute man. Got blacked out at Ruff and Routy.

He got kicked out of Ruff and Routy. He got out of Routy. He got out of Routy. Quite a year for Kevin Kisner. Quite a year. His buddy Boe fought in Ruff and Routy. So Kiz, I think he got like 11 people. It went up on a private jet and they left at like 8 in the morning.

And his boy, Bo didn't fight till 10 or something p.m. And by that point, Kiz is like 150 pounds and loves to drink, and which is blackout drunk, and got kicked out. He literally got kicked out of Rough and Rowdy for demanding, I think, a spot on the broadcast. He wanted to do you call a commentary. Yeah, that's right. So Kiz is awesome. He's the absolute man. We're big fans.

However, Golf Digest has brought out, they put out this quote last week from Kiz that says, quote, they all hate him talking about Patrick Reed. Any guys that were on the team with him hate him, and that's the same way at Augusta State. so he's talking about his college golf teammates. I don't know that they'd piss on him if he were on fire to tell you the truth. Now, like I said, we have a close relationship with the Kevin Kisner team, and I have it from sources very, very close to Kevin Kisner, that he was told that this was not on the record.

So that's pretty fucked up. Very close source is telling us that information. A source very close to Kevin Kisner has told me that Kevin Kisner believed that he was off the record. Because when I first saw this quote, I was like, that's not something kids would say on record. That's not something really anybody would say on record, which is like... That's so fucking. But you could... The thing about this is you could imagine mini golfers saying this off the record.

Like, this is the reputation Patrick Reed currently has. Totally. And has for years. So it's like, it's shocking in that it actually was said, according to this golf digest guy, which it wasn't. He's saying it was on record. But if he had said it off record, that's not a stunning thing. No, not at all. Yeah.

And again, and it's something I don't think even seeing the quote that doesn't stun anyone. The thing that is stunning about it is, wow, I can't believe you would say this on the record. Right. And now, again, according to sources, very close to Kevin Kisner, which we have reached out to, I'm hearing that it was under the belief that it was not on the record, which is kind of a bullshit thing, in my opinion, because you don't want to ever blow anybody spot up. Like that makes him, and it sucks because it puts this whole, like you said, like everybody believes that everyone thinks that. but now the fact that Kevin Kisner becomes the face of that is not really fair if he thinks he's off the record.

And even if the source close to Kevin Kisner came out and said like, I, this person didn't like, it was off the record, you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. So it's like, even if the golf judge's guy's like, oh, yeah, my bad, it should have been off the record. It doesn't matter. It's already out there. That's not, that was going to be my question.

What's like the legality behind on the record off the record? It's all, it's all just kind of ethical, reputational stuff. So if a guy gets just. real close to someone, they're getting drinks or whatever, and you would assume it's out the record, he could just do that and like fuck over that guy and then his reputation's kind of ruined, but he still gets a huge story. Yeah. There's no, like, he can't

get sued, right? I don't think so. No, that's crazy. Yeah, I really don't think so. It's crazy that on the record, off the record is even the thing then, like, in this day and age. Is that while? With, like, headlines, everyone's trying to grab a headline. A lot of its access journalism, right? That guy is going to lose access. He'll never talk to. It's a lot of its access journalism, which there's a huge

campaign right now against access journalism, because, you know, of the nature that comes about that. Guys are only going to give you access, you know, because they like what you say and write about them, which inherently skewers the nature of what you're writing out and all that. Like the fucking player's tribune is like a thing, right? It's like, no, you don't have to go through a guy.

You go straight to the source, yeah. Exactly. So anyways, I, you know, I'm only going off of my sources. Just, we're journalists over here. We're credentialed at the U.S. Open, credential to the PGA, credentialed at the Writer of the Riter Cup this year. Interviewed Tiger Woods, Bryce Neuchampo, Kevin Kisner, all these different people. And according to sources, very close to Kevin Kisner, very close to Kevin Kisner.

he believed and thought he was off the record, which seems like kind of a fucked up thing, in my opinion. And, like Trent Daddy said, this isn't a stunning quote. I don't think if you had said 15, if you had said 100 guys on tour said or thought this, it would be like, yeah. Yeah, sure. That's the reputation.

That's what we've heard. But I thought we should bring that up. Rider Cup was a disaster. We got killed. We've talked a lot about it, and it wasn't that long ago, so I don't feel like we need to rehash the whole thing. Yeah, it was bad.

It was bad. Got some good gear. Got some good gear, and we actually found out there's a handful of the Euro guys that I kind of like now. Yeah, Tommy Fleetwood, Fox. Tommy Fleetwood, Fox. I think Francesco Molinar is way cool than we thought he was. So I kind of like that. Obviously, the other guys we still have problems with, but I think some of those guys came out, especially Tommy Fleetwood.

That guy's a fuck. He looks like a rock star. Yeah. The way he was celebrating afterwards, he's a rock star. Oh, yeah. Complete rock star. Then we had Greg Norman in studio right after that. So sick.

The shock. Shock. Shock. He sounded like Donnie does say that that way. We just can't not sound like mass holes whenever we say it. The Great White Shock. Gray White Shock. Great White Shock.

Shock. I try to think what's a blanket on the guy that died with this. Steve Irwin. Steve Irwin. Stingray. Yeah. Fluk thing. Fluk thing.

Yeah. Stingrays don't really kill people very often. He was swimming on top of it, right? Yeah, and it, like, shot its sting ray up and, like, I think, like, impaled it or something. Damn. I don't know if that's actually true, but I'm pretty sure that's how I've always thought it went down. Yeah. So, anyways, we had Greg Norman in studio.

He was incredible. He was an absolute star. I think we've talked about it again. Yeah. But he was, he had big dick energy like you read about. Oh, yeah. Came through this office. Everyone was turning their shirt.

Who the hell? Oh, is that the shark? Oh, my God. That was so. amazing. That was amazing. Even like after the review, even after the interview, we went out to go to a pizza viroviour's walk the streets of Manhattan with him. And he was just like, this is awesome. He's cool. I was like, what are your favorite golf courses? He's like, uh, yeah, I was like, oh, so your favorite golf course, one of them that you said was like, uh, Long Island one he's like, yeah, I love the

island. I'm like, oh, did you hear that one? That was nice. He said the island like that. Love the island. Yeah, I love the island. That was really good. He called it the island? Yeah. Is that a thing? Uh, to him, it is. If Greg Norman says it's a thing, it's a thing. That is. I've never heard that before. Yeah, I love the island. That is good.

It's getting worse, as I say it. Yeah, you should have stuck with it. Then we finally had the whole incident with Bryson. We did a hour and a half podcast where we argued about Bryson D. Shambo, managed to, he did his whole thing where he started to kind of circle us. He followed Frankie, started to kind of poke around a little bit. Then he started following me and liked a couple things. Then we went back and forth on D.N.

got him on, he buried Frankie, just destroyed Frankie, which was maybe the highlight of the year in the podcast. I would think so, yeah. I think that was probably the single highlight of our existence so far. For sure. There's no doubt. Having a top five golfer who we've been fucking with for months to come on and no inside information about Frankie Butter and I'd bury him. The things that had to come into play there was great. It was perfect.

For a top five guy to have the knowledge of the podcast is what made it so big. Like, obviously, talk to Tiger Woods and fucking Greg Norman. And these guys were bigger and better golfers. But, like, this guy knew what the, like, he knew the inside joke. There was so much hype going into that. He knew it. He knew what was going on. And he's still out there.

He's still out there, Barry. Like in my pictures. I posted a selfie the other day. Not selfie, but, like, the photo booth picture from our party. He just liked it. Yep. I got so many messages like Bryson's still on the prowl. Yeah.

He's not letting you go. So he's just in the mix now. He's one of our guys, Bryson, whether you guys like it or not, it's very, very cool. It's funny. He is the number five-ranked player. currently in the world. He won two playoff events on the Ryder Cup, all that type of stuff.

And then he came on this show, buried Frankie, gave some very insightful answers. He's totally nerdy, even though he kept saying, I think that he's like, I'm not just a nerd. You're a nerd.

You can be a nerd. That's completely cool. Outline how he was just going to change the game of golf forever. Yep, which, which, again, he's got these grandiose ideas and thoughts and all that. But he became all of a sudden kind of a folk hero in the four play world. Yeah, that was nuts. Looking back to, if we're doing this whole year review thing, it's like the craziest thing for me is that I never in a million years, even just, this is in Barcelona in general, ever would think that the shit talk that I talk on Twitter or to my friends and stuff would end in me.

I'm like, kind of, I'm like, I have stuff coming out of my nose. It would end in like me actually talking to the guy and like getting shit on, right? Right. Like I know Henrik-Lunquist is going to, I'm going to have to talk to him at some point in my life. And that's like a nerve-wracking feeling. I was nervous going into the Bryson thing because I'm like, fuck, man, I've been talking so much shit behind this guy's back.

And now I just have to talk about it back because he fucking knew everything I said. Yeah. But yeah, you've been talking that shit without him to like respond. So that's crazy, crazy. Now he gets to come back. To everyone like, all our listeners and stuff that's just like, everyone's on this internet world and we're all like talking our shit.

The fact when it comes to life is such a ridiculous, like, moment to like be like, holy fuck I'm talking to the guy that I just shit on on Twitter. Like, I shouldn't be doing this. It's crazy. And you don't know if you're prepared for it, you know, you hope you are, but you, and you believe in what you've been saying. And it can go one or two ways. One way he could be like, dude, you're such a dick to me. Like, why are you being such a dick?

Like, you don't even know. You're a nobody. You're like, shut the fuck up. Or he can just, like, go along with the joke and just become the most likable dude of all time. Right. And he did. Which is what he did. Which is what he did.

And it was great. So that was just a stunning moment. And again, we didn't know how prepared. or non-prepared he was going to be. He could have been calling in just thinking, like, oh, this is another media hit. I bet these guys are going to, they're golf guys, they're probably going to pump me up. I'll talk about my stuff and my year and it'll be easy and cool and fun. Or he could know a lot more inside foreplay and inside bar stool type stuff.

I had no fucking clue. And so when he dropped that early on in the podcast, it set the tone. That was a monumental show for us. And then just a couple weeks later, we had the Tiger incident. we had Vegas we had Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson I think

Meat and Tiger also a highlight I'd say that's a highlight I mean the guy that we speak about every single time we put these mics on we talk about them incessantly and then you just like met him he just met you

he actually said your name he said my name do you we were we were actually talking about this at Pebble how many of us literally just play golf because of Tiger Woods. Yeah. Oh, that's interesting.

Like, I don't know that I would even play golf or be into golf. Maybe I would, and I'm wrong. But there's a very good chance that I legitimately play golf and I'm into golf only because of... There is a cool factor, too. Because, yeah, I wonder if sport of golf, it would definitely wouldn't be nearly as cool. No, he changed it. It was country club. It was cookie cutter.

It was, like, you have to be lucky to step on the golf course. And, like, even if, like, I don't know. even if he did, it was like, you play golf, like play a real sport. Right. And now it's like, holy fuck, this guy's a superstar. This guy's the biggest star, you know, on the planet for a while. He's the biggest star in the world. There's definitely some truth to that.

And so the fact that, boom, all of a sudden, like you said, I mean, he's almost, it's almost become, we've almost become caricatures of ourselves with how much, how into Tiger we are. Yes. Can't help it. And how much we do talk about him, how crazy we go, how he is the, the, you know, the definition of appointment television in sports and he's really the only guy the only probably the only person in any individual sport who is appointment television i mean anytime he tees it up

it's must watch we want to watch them on the range we want to watch him warm it up on the practice screen we want to watch the the way that he's talking to joey la cava before the round and what oh what shirts he wearing did he change his shirt during the warm up that is that what i heard like We care about fucking every part of it, and we talk about it all the time, and we make gear, and we sell a ton of gear around it because he's Tiger fucking Woods. And then all of a sudden it was like, oh, hey, come out to Vegas. I think there's a chance we can get you some time with Tiger Woods. What are you talking about, Tiger?

What does that even mean? He's real? And then the guy's real? And then the way you met him was they just, like, it was like a gap in his schedule. This fucking bootleg operation, like I met, like they snuck him into a back alleyway to meet with rigs from the time he's tied his shoes the time you walk into the driving range you had that window literally what it was we'll give you hand your cell phone to somebody and hopefully they press record that's literally a hundred percent what happened and uh the the plan which i found out about

once we arrived on saturday morning after the match and the golf uh i'm sorry in the in the locker room of shadow creek and and me and a couple of tigers boys being like all right so here's what we're going to do we're going to clear this room out at 730 when we do we're going to clear this room out at 730 when we do It should just be Tiger and us and you in here And we're going to ask him if he's got two minutes really quickly And then if you just want to hand me your phone I'll hit record and then you just ask him a couple questions and do your thing And then that should be good, right?

It's like, yeah, man, love it That shouldn't be a problem at all I'm not going to be the most nervous I've ever been in my entire life Not a problem And then that actually fucking happening And Joe La Cava coming up and giving me a fist pound It'd be like great to see you, Rigsie, let's go All of that and imagine you ate one of those meatballs

Before that interview I thought about that already I already thought, like, when I was sitting stewing in my own miserable filth for like 36 hours, I kept thinking like, what if this happened on a day of radio? What if this happened when I was about to meet Tiger? What if this happened on all of these different moments? What did this happen when I was supposed to be inside the ropes at the U.S. Open? What does this happen is when I was supposed to be walking around the house with Kerry player? I don't feel that you are going to dissect everything you now eat when you're doing anything big.

I think this is in your head down. I think I have to. I think you're going to, like, read labels, you're going to ask questions. You're going to, like, make sure that you're not ever going through this. What happened last week can never happen ever again. That is unacceptable. Do you blame anyone? Myself.

Okay. You got the salad and you got the beer. You were good. I was fine. My strategy was it cori salad? Was it fucking romay lettuce? It was just a little... Is it a little...

Is it a little... I mean, you said you had a salad. It's just a little seizure salad. It was a little... Was it romaine? Yeah, it was. Yeah, probably. Okay. So you had E. coli?

I don't think so. I mean, there was a country-wide, country-wide ban on romayne lettuce. And you went to a fucking airport and got a salad. You think that they abide by the country-wide ban of romaine lettuce? I think, I just... How can you get that sick from a meatball? Undercooked meat, I guess. The meatballs just weren't, you know.

So they were delicious. Yeah, but they're looking back at them now. No. I think you got to... I think you got to look into the romaine. I don't because I was also the whole next. 36 hours. Every time I would, like, burp, it was like a meatball taste.

But that's just because that's the thing you ate most recently. Yeah, but that's because that's the thing that's fucking up my whole system. I'm not throwing up the, I'm not throwing out the romaine lettuce just yet. I think we've got two guys in here now that I think it's the romaine lettuce. You got violently ill for 36 straight hours to the point where you almost needed hospital attention. But I wasn't. I was diarrhea. I wasn't.

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what, like, you call. I would assume it fucks up. stomach. Yeah, I don't know. If it's the exact same as stage 7 diarrhea type symptoms, then we might have to take another look. And Frankie alluded to it was if you think the Newark Airport is abiding to people being like, hey, don't use this. Oh, they said we can't use this.

Let's toss out all these like pounds of lettuce that you just like can't afford to throw out. I think that's a fair point. I think that's a fair point. I'm currently sticking with the meatball theory. I'm not sold on the Romaine lettuce, although it doesn't, I mean, I don't think it's a bad theory. I don't think it's a bad theory at all. You sound like you're right on the end of believing. E. coli is a type of bacteria that normally live in the intestines.

Symptoms of intestinal infection include massive diarrhea and abdominal pain. I mean, it might have been the salad. That's what I'm talking about, man. You could have had some fucked up shit in that salad. I'm telling you. I'm telling you. So what? Now I'm out on salads forever? No, I know. I don't know.

There may be like a class action lawsuit. You might be able to sue Newark Airport. You guys didn't get rid of your romaine lettuce, and I had, and I pooped for 36 hours straight. That's true. I might have taken 25 poops. You had e coli, dude. Is your coli just a 24-hour bug, though? I don't know. I don't know.

You might have to talk to your guy, cousin Mike, and be like, what are our options here? Yeah. I'm just saying. I'm just saying you had a fucking, you had a meal, one of them being meatballs, the other one being a Caesar salad from an airport, we're just coming off a countrywide ban of romaine lettuce and Caesar cells. People were like tweeting, like, I can't wait to eat a Caesar salad again. Like, is it safe?

People are like it may never be safe again. You're just sitting at this airport eating a salad. Something wasn't safe on fucking Wednesday night. I'll tell you that much. And it's an intestinal infection. Symptoms of intestinal infections include massive diarrhea and abdominal pain. and fevers. Did you have a fever?

Did you feel like you had a fever? I felt like I had a fever. Jesus Christ. My man, you had E. coli. How did I get over it that fast? Is it a pretty quick bug, Frank? Here we go. How long does E. coli last?

Five to ten days. People with mild symptoms usually recover on their own without treatment. That's what I did. I recovered my own. You did. My friend, you had E. And that's actually pretty cool,

because E. E. coli has been around for a long time. I've never actually seen someone have it. It's not confirmed that I had a coli. I think 36 hours is too short to have a coli, dude. A coli, don't you go to the hospital? You might fucking die if you get a coli. But if you have mild symptoms.

Anyways, I met Tiger. I got this on E. coli effects can last a lifetime. He's fine now. He rings looks great. Now you're scared of me. What's wrong with you, Frankie? You couldn't just let it rest at the meatballs? No.

We want the truth. Well, no, I mean, I don't want the truth. I just want to think that I had it. Meatball, got it, over it, good to go forever now. Look at the pictures of it. There it is. It's not a picture. It's a drawing.

You feel like you. You met Tiger Woods. What a moment. Tiger Woods, baby. What a moment. He said my name. I asked some questions for two minutes, 55 seconds. Great way to end the year.

We've got a lot to build on. The Tiger stuff that we did performed outrageously well. So his team's happy. Everybody's happy. Numbers are up. engagements up. Everybody's thrilled. And hopefully we'll get more stuff with Tiger.

Hopefully we will get more stuff with Bryson and some of the other guys on tour going forward. So it's been a great year. I will say I want to read some of the rankings to finish out the year on the official world golf rankings. Okay. Because I think it's interesting to look at this list. Brooks Kepka, number one. I don't think anybody would have seen that coming out going into 2018. So I think Sports Illustrator, some publication put out like top 25 most.

I think it was ESPN. Yeah, they're like the most. dominant athletes of this generation or this year. Oh, that's this year. This year. This year. And they had, like, fucking NASCAR drivers on there. Olympic, like, Olympic skaters.

Oh, I did see that list. Simone Biles was number one. Then, like, number two was, like, a fencer. Which, all right. They may be dominant in their own respect, but, like, the general public wants to see the main people, because you're playing on the biggest stage. You're playing on the biggest stage. Give me the first stage. Oh, yeah.

Like, the fence. Fencing community, like, maybe great, but, like, that doesn't mean that they're the fucking best... Doesn't move the needle. Get out of your fencing community. So, Brooks Kepka actually, like, quote-tweeted that list with, like, and he, like, did, like, the, hmm. And so that was, like, a little, there was a little flare that we usually don't see from him. He doesn't, like, I like to get in. I saw some people responding, like, hey, this is Brooks Kepka being Brooks Kepka.

Why couldn't he, like, go all in on it? It's, like, him just, like, quote-tweeting saying, hmm, it's actually, like, more not like Brooks Kepka than he's ever been. 100%. Usually, he'd just be like, well, well, you know what? Like, we like to just farm. What a great year. Thank you to all my sponsor, estimation point. Congratulations to the most dominant players.

At Monday, I hope to be it. It's like, dude, you are. Yeah, right. Yeah, I liked a little of that. Justin Rose number two, DJ number three. JT, number four. JT had sneaky three wins this calendar year. Justin Rose is just sneaky number two.

Yeah, he is sneaky. No one talks about Cheney. And it's like, every time I look in the headlines the last couple weeks, it's like he's going through a crisis and playing terrible. It's number two in the world. It's number two in the world. JT come off a red hot. year last year and I was thinking like oh man did he have a really a down year he sneaky won three

times in the 2018 2019 calendar season the I guess I kind of forgot I've just generally forgot that he won the WGC Bridgestone that's right yeah Jesus yeah which I just completely forgot about JT number four Bryson number five ROM number six Francesco Madanati number seven Rory number eight Ricky number nine phenow number 10 how about he's up to number 10 We need a breakthrough year from Fianau. We need him to get that dub. Get that dub. Then Zander at number 11.

Tommy Fleetwood at 12. Tiger at 13. Love that. Do you think at the beginning of the year, if you would have said Tiger will be up to number 13 in the world, you would have been, you would have taken that? No. Really?

Yeah, I would have. I expected him to win. 13. Didn't he start at like 1,200? Yeah, but the amount that he was going to be playing in, right? You'd expect Tiger Woods to be. shooting up the rankings with each tournament he ends in, right? So you wouldn't have taken that?

No. I would have. I think it could have been higher. I think it could have been better. Yeah, I know. But that's what I'm saying. Like, would you be... I would have said in the beginning of year, I thought he was in...

We predicted him to fucking win majors and shit. I would have predicted him to be a top ten. I think he's right around, like, where... I didn't know how much he was... I knew he had a big schedule. I knew he wanted to play a lot. I just didn't know how much he was actually going to play. He had a good year.

We've gone through a bunch of times, right? Like, he had a great year. Great year. Anyone below him on that list? Like, he had a better year than them. Who's below him? You mean above him or below? I don't always get confused in the rankings.

It's hard to, what are you supposed to say? Like, worse than him in the rankings? When I say below, I'm visually looking at a rankings list. So when I say below, I mean above. Gotcha. Yeah, no. That's a Frankie quote. When I say below, I mean above.

what are you supposed to say what's like the correct term I don't think anyone really knows Tiger's 13 and I want to talk about who's 50 my brain's Tiger's 13th I want to talk about the guy was 14th is he below him or above him I would say above him in the rank

oh fuck I don't know I don't know God that's tough is he below him in the rankings he's below him I think he's probably below him in the rankings yeah below below below yeah you're right because it is a physical list

And we're, everyone, I think the proper way to do it is a physical list. Right. Top to bottom. Top to bottom. 13, 14 below. Yes. Below. But 14's a lower.

No. In this, in this sense, 14 would be a lower, like one's the highest number, right? So that's why some people get fucked. Like one's the best. So if you guys, whatever. We get why they get fucked. We're just trying to get off. I'm trying to work it out.

Target 13. Jason, Dave, 14. Patrick Reed 15. Speed, all the way up to 16th. Bubba at 17. team and then I just stopped writing him down after that. But anyways, Tiger Woods had a better year than Patrick Reed. I mean, Patrick Reed won the Masters.

I know. But you mean like a more over? Yeah. I think it's like more consistent year. Consistent is the word, yeah. Yeah, I think that's right. I think that's correct. And I think I would have met World Golf Rangers.

It's a bit more about consistency than. Yeah. Yeah. Tony Finno is number two. Yeah, yeah. Right. Yeah. Oh, 10.

Sorry. Number 10. Yeah, no, I think that's right. I think that's fair. And Tiger's only going to only going to continue to climb. He's the captain of the President's Cup team next year. So we'll have a lot of that To chip
