Yeah, I go back and forth with our guy eBug on like music choices and we were trying to develop a style the way we do these videos with the travel series and this video. And I was just sitting around yesterday. Obviously with everything going on, we weren't posting as much. So I was really just like glued into my social media and watching everything. It was going along. And I had a little bit more time to work on something. So I worked on that teaser. And I was like, Brennan, just send me whatever footage you have.

and I'll just like put something together. I put like a minute video together. I freaking love the beat and I was like, I liked it. And I said to you guys, you guys liked them. People are sucking my cock off on Twitter. They don't know they're giving me full on full asia because I don't know they even know I edited it, which doesn't matter.

It's like I didn't put my freaking name on it. But yeah, it was really fun to make that. Like it's different when you're not editing the same thing all the time. Like I'm just editing very raw. Like pizza reviews are so easy. They're just very raw stuff. like Dave is just one of the funniest people on earth. So you just put the camera on and that's it.

You don't have to really do much. But this was fun because, like, I was there and I was part of it. So I knew some of the funnier moments. And, like, it's cool to make a video about, like, you and your buddies. Like, I've done that, like, with Borrelli's once. Like, I did, like, a hype-up video for a cornhole tournament we were doing. Actually, that's, that's, like, one of the things I used to get hired. Like, I put that in my pitch.

Like, look at these videos I'm making for a 62-year-old restaurant at the time. I mean, I was like, I need to start doing more shit. So, yeah, that was fun, man. I really like, I get, I like putting music to video too much. I was going to say, like, you, you spend so much time on the music for the videos alone. Weird. But it's good. You need somebody like that who is that passionate about it.

Dude, I said to my girlfriend, I say, I think in like another universe, I mean, I'm still young or whatever. Like, I genuinely think I would enjoy composing, like, scoring videos and movies. Like, that is, like, a passion of mine that I'm now noticing. Like, I love the idea of, like, building up a scene with music. And, like, you can change the tone based off of, like, the change of the violins. Now, the problem is I know nothing about the technicalities of it. I don't know anything about the decibel. All right, Beethoven.

It was a good teaser. Like, it was a nice. It was a great. Ebug said to me. E bugs, like, my ears are blown out. And I was like, I don't even know what that means. Like, there's so much shit that goes into it that, like, people actually, like, there's, like, audio engineers and shit.

This world is crazy. I watched a couple of YouTube videos on it. It's fucking nuts. I do agree with the rigs. That's kind of the world we're living in. To get good at something, you watch a couple of YouTube videos and you're a pro. 100%. Yeah.

Look, it is a phenomenal teaser. And you guys with the music, I don't understand that world, not even closer. Like what you were just saying, engineers and beats. It's crazy. Ebug and you were talking last time about how you guys like, Ebug invented his own song for it or something. I didn't know what the fuck that meant. So great job.

Dude, like that logo that our guy, there's a video guy, editor named, Francis, he made the logo. He sent it with no noise. So that was so much fun finding wushes and noises that go with the rotation of the logo to see and to make it like come to live. Like, that's just awesome. And when you watch movies, think about everything that happens in a movie. All that audio is edited in. Like, even when you watch like Animal Planet or like Planet Earth, you think like the mic is right up there with the fucking lion, like, no, they're like matching lion noises and making sure like the bite marks on. Like, like, so that you feel like you're right there.

Even when they walk over like a leaf, there's someone in like an audio room crushing a leaf with their hand into a microphone. It's crazy. It's incredibly valuable to have someone that passionate because I can tell you what, the other three of us, we're like, whatever.

Just put it out. Just hit record on the camera, then just put it onto the internet. Whatever whatever happened, just do that. So look, it's great. It's great. You guys have that passion.

That's what's elevated our production value. The video is phenomenal. like all the graphics and the buildup and everybody getting ready in the morning to the range session kids chirp us it captured like so i do want to say too like pinehurst did their best made an announcement on social distancing um they're like if you're going to watch you can't fans you know like it's a public facility so like if people are going to be around people were just around to pinerist in general but if you're going to be around and watch like you just stay like on the cart path so you're like away from it and trying to like deter people from watching but on some level people kind of start to congregate and they're doing their best. They made announcements on the social distancing,

but I still think even in the video, like, from our vantage point, it's like we can't, we're not going to go arrest these people. So like a couple people we're going to watch, they're going to watch. And the video captured well, like the environment with all of us, the kids roasting us and chirping us, which I don't think can be overstated how much of a factor that is. Like when that man, who's that knowledgeable about golf and the golf swing and the golf game makes one little comment about your swing, it affects like the whole rest of your day. he's doing that nonstop. Dewey's doing that nonstop.

And then there's also kind of a crowd like clapping a little bit and ooh and and eyeing and like being shocked. So it captured everything. Every shot is in there. It was it was phenomenally done. We have drone footage that we've taken over the months that I've been here that we took back in November that kind of like brings you from hold to hole. So it's a really good video.

It's on our YouTube page, For Play Golf. The Kisner versus the four. man scramble and hopefully there's something we can do with a lot of other golfers, but be sure to go check that video out because you guys type in Foreplay podcast versus Kisner because the title's a little different because we've YouTube huge, huge behind the scenes battle over you can't type in four man scramble. Dude right now. So it went live, right?

And we won't have to get into all of it because no, we shouldn't. We should not get into all. People don't want to get into all of it. Do it. No, no, no. Frankie, Frankie, you know it's crazy. If you type in four man scramble, if you type in four man scramble, If you type in Form Man Scramble on YouTube, the first video that shows up is Kevin Kisner

versus the Four Play podcast Scramble at Pioneers Number 2 from the U.S. Open T's. It's the first thing that shows up, Frankie. Type in Format Scramble on YouTube. Why can't just be called the Forman Scramble? Everybody just, everybody stopped. Because people are confused because there's so much backstory to this that we always argue about YouTube titles. But just, I want to let everyone know, the video went live at noon.

I, I'm at the office. So I walked to the bathroom to take a piss. I came back and there were 25 maps. messages in the four play group chat. And it was just an absolute cat fight in there between Frankie, producer Jake, and then he got me and Riggs and lurching these guys on, wanting them to fight. It's just a shit show.

Every time a YouTube video comes out on the four play golf YouTube channel, there's a brawl about what the title should be. Yeah, I mean, it's a crazy battle. I look like Frankie just texted the word hate, hate, hate, hate, like six times about his feelings on the tire. I just think like if the title is the title on the website, why can't it be on YouTube? And like we're saying that we're not getting a lot of traction from people on YouTube.

It's all from our Twitter. I mean, most of it's from people just finding it on YouTube, right? Only three or four percent come from Twitter and Instagram. So we're trying to make it for that specific audience. But I'm just like, I mean, if someone wants to watch a Kevin Kisner video, they're going to watch a Kevin Kisner video if they stumble upon it, regardless of what the fucking title is. And I just like it neat.

Like four man scramble versus Kevin Kisner. And then next episode, four-man scramble verse, whatever. And then whenever you see it, you know that's what it is. Not like, holy moly, look at what Kevin Kisner did at the U.S. Open T's. Like, I don't know. I just don't like that world. But apparently it works. We'll see.

I think it's going to get views regardless. That's my point. I'm also mad. Our YouTube rep, which were then threw in a whole number of course. I started laughing out loud at that. I was up Raleys. I started laughing aloud like a crazy person. A YouTube rep, like.

Yeah. What is that? Give me that guy's job. Gabe is fuming back there. This is great. Whatever. It's going to get views, which almost makes me mad because it's going to solidify that title, but it would have done. Are you here? Frankie's running against views.

Right. He's going on record right now. Nobody watched the Kisner's four-place. It's going to make, it's going to get views regardless. So I don't know. Franky, did you know, did you know in the first hour this is the best one of our videos has ever performed? Because of the content, Jake. It's our, it's one of the biggest videos we've ever done.

It's so, you could have made that title. Kevin Kisner goes poopie pants at US Open. You could have done whatever. You literally could have wrote golf at Pinehurst. And because of the amount we're talking about it, and we fucking went live for 25,000 people on the 18th hole. People are going to watch that video. So I don't know.

Boy. Our titles weren't that different. I like a little peek under the hood. I like when people get to see what's going on because this is what we deal with on the chat. It's all great stuff. It's all great stuff. And it just shows people we don't know what the fuck we're doing. Like those little titles and pictures you see on our YouTube,

we don't know what the fuck we're doing. Right. Also just love the close of the argument because as soon as Frankie gets in his last word, he just picks up three fries and stuffs his face. It is proof that like Barstool as a whole is worth like half a bill. And we're just like we're still yelling at each other about YouTube titles. Like it really is like we're the real deal. That's what it comes down.

Well, it's good. People care about what we do. You know, so it's, it's, and we care about what we put out. Exactly. So that's where the, it's all about what's doing best. We do. Definitely care. So there's no doubt about that.

I'd like to give a couple shoutouts. I got a quick story. So my guys, Ryan, Joe, and Jack, there's three guys. They came in from Chicago. They were pioneers for like a week. I saw them Sunday night, told them I'd play the cradle with them yesterday. So yesterday evening, it's like 6, 6 p.m. or something. We kind of stroll out there.

And there's a, you know, you guys, obviously, we were at the cradle a week ago. You know the cradle scene this time. You hear there's groups backed up, ready to tee off, and everybody's kind of hooting and holler and it's like a stadium seating almost in terms of the way the hills are. And so we're like two groups away to go off. And these three guys, I just kind of met them.

They're just like they know they love what we do and whatever. So yeah, we'll play. We'll have a good time. Well, there's another group of guys. It's like four guys, I think it was. And they're just being dickheads. Like they're drunk clearly.

And they're yelling and being really loud. I guess they're like annoying the shit out of people on the thistle do. And then they're over in line of the cradle. And like, they're yelling. One of the guys just like, fuck you Riggs, like yelling it across the cradle. And I'm just with this other crew and they're like, how do you deal with that all the time?

Like it doesn't happen. Like you don't usually get assholes all the time. Is Riggs he snitch about making an appearance? Yeah, I think we're going to go. No, no, no, no, I got a good funny story. Okay. So then after a few minutes, like one of the guys from that group comes over and he like apologizes and then all the guys come over and like,

you got to come out to Quill Hollow. We're like big fans. And I'm like, well, why are you yelling, fuck you rigs across the cradle? Like, what's, why are you? Like, that just doesn't make sense. Like, that's, you know, sorry about that, but whatever. And then another guy's like, yeah, that was me yelling, fuck you, Rick. Sorry about that.

And it's just like, even the guys that were with are like, yeah, those guys have just been like annoying all day long. They're just kind of loud, whatever. Well, they go ahead. They tee off in front of us. It's like an hour later. We're coming through the eighth hole. And, you know, the eighth tee is above or the eighth green finishes. And then you walk above the third green.

You know, the third green is that punch hole. where you hit it up there it's a blind shot so you can't see if it goes in or not well this guy ryan that i was with these fucking guys just kept yelling really loud annoying shit and it was just like kind of pissing everybody around the entire course like these guys are the worst like the pine cone lady um who was working the pine cone was like god those guys just like will not shut up whatever well these guys are playing the third hole so this guy ryan that's with us uh as we're like walking up he and his buddy set up and they count like down they're like okay on three we're gonna go nuts and fake this guy out like he got an ace because it was the group that were being the huge

asshole yeah so the guy hits one and he's like staring it down because you can't see it's a blind shots rolling off the slope and on three this guy Ryan and his boy they just start going nuts they're like oh like let's go ace the guy's super jacked up comes running up the hill and his balls was clearly not in the hole. And they wanted to fucking fight this guy, Ryan. And like the whole course was like cheer and celebrate. They're like, dude, that was the best fucking troll of all time. These guys then are like, we're going to play you $1,000 a hole.

Like, fuck you guys, blah, blah, blah. But the fake ace for my guy Ryan, he was getting like applause around the golf course for the rest of the round of the cradle. So I got to give a huge shout out to my guy, Ryan. And then another woman that I met yesterday was Janet, who I think she said, sent an email and she's like 52 and her mother Doris drove from Atlanta because of the daily nine videos they just drove yesterday from Atlanta to Pinehurst to play Pinehurst number two. And I'm sorry.

Did they say because of the daily nines? Because of the daily nine videos. They chose to come to Pineers. So it was her and, you know, her mother Doris who if Janet's, again, I'd want to say her email, she said she's like 52, then her mother's got to be at least in her, you know, in her 70s or 80s or so. So they drove all the way from Atlanta So big shout out to them

That's awesome classic Incredible Yeah Yeah incredible We're sitting here trying to figure out how to like Draw on YouTube people And we got 70 year old DARS driving Cross country to get to fucking Pioneers

Because of the daily night I mean that's no That's a pretty long drive When's the last time somebody named their kid Doris 72 years ago you think Like nobody below 30 has that lady was the last one Yeah, I think it could be. Doris Burke?

Oh, Doris Burke. How old is she, though? 7.5? No, no, no. You know who Doris Burke is? The NBA gal? There's no way she's 70. You know where she's even 60, right?

I don't know. She's old. You think she's that old large? I think she's over 50. Yeah, but that's different than 70. All right, I'll take you. Doris is like, I love Doris. She was an angel athlete,

but Doris is a classic old person named. She's 55. 54. Okay. All right. It's not an ending here often, I will say. No, no. No, you don't.

And then I got to give quick Barstall Classic updates. There's a lot of updates going on. We're obviously, I mean, we're supposed to have 15 different stops. They're huge gatherings by their nature. There's like a party aspect to it. We have COVID-19, global pandemic. So how's that going to change? I did tweet out a little update the other day.

The Barstow Classic will go on. So some folks, are asking about caddies and like that kind of thing, everything's going to be local. So I want everybody out there who's playing in the classes to understand it's all based on local guidelines. We would love to have the caddy option for every single person in the field. A lot of these courses are saying, hey, we're trying to limit people as much as humanly possible. So in those places, caddies might not be possible.

And we've got a few brand new announcements. Pioneer number six on June 22nd is going to be the first qualifier. We're adding a new stop. adding one that wasn't on the schedule. It's Pioneer's number six. It's June 22nd and Friday, which is June 5th at 10 a.m. That's going to be available to the public. So you can jump in.

You can play in that qualifier. The Barstel Classic will start and we'll finish at Pinehurst this year, which is very fitting with everything that's been going on, with our relationship with it now. We've done travel show. We did the Kisner match. I've been quarantined here. June 22nd is Pioneer number six.

It's going to be the first Barso Classic event of 2020. and then the championship, which I've talked about before, about how we're going to do in terms of changing it, it's supposed to be Saturday and Sunday of Masters Week, which is one of the great shocks of all time, that when we booked this damn tournament to conclude on November, whatever, 14th and 15th, I think it was, that then that coincided with the Masters tournament.

Nobody could have ever predicted that. Imagine in their wildest dreams that would occur. I've been debating. We've been debating. what do we do? Do we just hold it at the same time? I did think if it's midsummer, we could do that because we could play the Barso Classic in the morning, everybody hang around the TV or find a spot, go to a bar, and then watch the Masters in the afternoon. But it is November. So it's like some of the shorter days of the year.

So there's just not going to be time to do both. So we are changing the BarstoClassic championship at Pinehurst to November 9th and 10th, which is Monday and Tuesday of Master's Week. So it's going to be a huge, huge golf week. Sunday will be kind of a week. Sunday will be kind of welcome hangout cradle experience for anybody you can get in early Sunday afternoon which is November 8th there's going to be a little cradle hangout little cradle play the ninth and 10th are rounds one and two of the Barstow Classic Championship so those are some announcements you go to Barstall Classic.com get more information that's the situation um all right do you guys have anything to add boy that was a ton yeah it's a lot going on I would just I'd recommend

rewind in the last you know hit the back 15 seconds about five times and you just Just listen to it again. Write it down. I appreciate that. My only take to all that was I love the move by Ryan as his name. That's an amazing move. I love that. I love stirring it up.

I love getting back at assholes on the golf course like that. Like guys who would be in belligerent or people, like that's just such a good day. Like that made them so mad. You know that just ruined their day too. Because like one or two times, like all right, buddy. And then do that exact person that you describe or like, fuck you rigs. And you go over them. I'm like, oh, what's going on?

They're like, ah, no, I didn't really know. Like, I had a guy messing me today. It sends me a screenshot of my handicap because I called out the handicap, please. And he goes, just watched a couple of YouTube videos. How the fuck are you a non-handicap? You sandbagger, you can't even hit a fairway. And I responded right back to him.

I said, you moron, that's the opposite of sandbagging. Like, why would I make, like, if I hit every fairway and then you checked my handicap and I was a 25, You'd be like, you fucking sandbagger. Like, what are you doing? I'm legitimately losing every match in the world because this goddamn handicap system's telling me my numbers of 9.2. I need more strokes when I play these guys.

So I messaged him and he wrote back, he wrote the whole thing, like, you fucking loser, you have to stop talking so much on the pocket. I'm like, well, you're a moron number one. You said the exact opposite thing of what you're supposed to say. And then he responded, oh shit, didn't think you'd get back to me. Love you, man. Hope the restaurant's doing well.

Like, if we could tee it up one of these days, would love it. Like, dude, right after you lick my grundle, then we can continue on this conversation. Because like, now you're in my back pocket. Like, I just have to respond to you for you to become a nice human being. That doesn't make any sense. And that's exactly what it was yesterday. It was that interaction in real life, which we, we've talked about that a few different times. We all amongst bars to employees, we talk about that exact exchange a million times. If people will say ruthless shit, you respond once. And then they're like, hey, a huge fan. Listen to every show. I actually love what you said the other day. And. And it's like, I appreciate that you're a fan, but why are you got to lead with dickheadness? Like, why can't you just be a nice person? And that was these guys in real life. And again, it was beyond because the guys that I was playing with like, yeah, they're

actually behind us in another course earlier today. And they're like hitting into us and being dickheads. So it wasn't just to me. They were just like pissing off everybody of the course. So that little troll that that guy did, Ryan, of the fake ace, dude, it had had these guys were so. Oh, my God. It was awesome. Could you imagine if someone like did that too?

I mean, at first I don't think I'd, hope I wouldn't be the dickhead up front where like they wanted to do something to me. But I mean, if you just did that with your buddies and like a good hearted nature, I was like, what a shot, Lurch, like, ace. And you go running up there and you're all winded and excited. And then it's just 10 feet from the pin. I mean, I would think about on the cradle, I'd probably have a wedge in my hand. I would think about just hawking it right at your face.

Oh, yeah. Well, there's also not many worse feelings on the golf course than when someone, so let's say you're like bending one around a tree or you hit one and you can't see where the ball is and someone says oh good one like it got up there and you're like fucking right like you get and then you get up there it's either in a bunker or it's just not where they said because maybe they didn't notice like it rolled off the back and into the water that feeling of like euphoria being like holy shit people are applauding me for my shot then it was wrong is I'd rather just watch the ball just dunk into the into the water to start you know what I mean yeah I'd rather blade it and watch it go

over the green than have sort of that thought so so it was perfect these guys I mean, there were, I believe, mentions at one point of, like, I'll knock you the fuck out or something like that from one of these guys. I was with for Piner's, like, are there, is there about to be a fight at the cradle at Pyrus? Like, I've never seen it. One was the last time you think there was a fight at Pynhurst? No, never. A while. You've been a lot.

Yeah. I don't know, man. It's a pretty big, like, boys place. There's a lot of testosterone at Piner's. Like, I could, like, 10 golf courses. Everyone's jacked up to be playing. Someone hits into a little. I'm going to fucking beat you up with my fucking...

You know, I was trying... You know, I had to go to Home Depot today and pick up an auger. You know what the fuck that is? I think so. An auger? I was like, yeah, can I get a one-man auger? And the guy looked at me like, what the fuck are you doing with an auger? I had my skinny arms out.

I had my mascot. I'm like wearing two t-shirts. I'm like, yeah, I need an auger to go through the concrete. He's like, how many layers of asphalt you're going through? I'm like, bro, just get me something that goes into the fucking thing. I'm clearly not the one that's doing the hand motions into, like, I'm not the one who's actually physically grabbing the auger. They sent me in a car to come pick it up because I have no strength.

So why don't you just go get me that bit? He's trying to tell me about the primer to turn this thing on. He's like, you know, you've got a gauge up here. I'm looking at him like, bro, we're wasting time here because I'm not touching this piece of equipment. So get me something that goes into cement right now so I can get the fuck out of here. That's like the Michael Scott, like, explain to me like I'm five. Like just give it to me like I'm five years old and let me get on my way because I'm slowly not the drill bit.

Oh, yeah. It's crazy. So we're building out a patio right now for outdoor seating. Hopefully actually next week in New York, Long Island, you'll be able to actually go to restaurants as long as it's outdoor seating. So at least we have some positive news about people being able to come to restaurants. Hell yes. Hell yes. Father's Day.

PGA Tourin out, it's Tuesday. has found a replacement tournament for the canceled John Deere Classic. Thank God. It'll be a full field open event that will be held without fans July 9th through the 12th, the week before the Memorial Tournament. Workday has agreed to title sponsor the first event at Mirfield Village,

which will feature the 156 player field. Currently unclear what role memorial host Jack Nichols will have in the Workday event. The Memorial will still be played the following week with its traditional 120 player invitational field. to be determined is whether that event will allow fans. So kind of interesting. Again, this is all of your golf channel, Ryan Labner. That's where I pulled those quotes. Well, that article from weird that I guess the memorial would be interested in like a turn,

the tournament coming the week before. You think they would really want to highlight the memorial, the Mirfield, the Memorial Week. I don't know. But it's interesting. It's going to be weird having a double header, I think. But also, you know, it's the era of COVID. And so it is what it is.

Fucking Illinois, man. No, just really. And people were reaching out to me when this news broke, being like, oh, are you going to call the week before the John Deer Classic, regardless of where it's at? No, I'm not going to do that. I would not disparage TPC Deerun by naming some other tournament, the John Deer Classic, just because it's happening the same week.

We're just not having the John Deer Classic this year. We'll be back at it next year. But, yeah, it will be really interesting to see a golf course just back-to-back weeks. I don't know. That's strange. Never seen anything like that. So, I mean, I guess maybe the Pioneer's number two

when they had the men's and then women's U.S. opens, but like that's very different. It's not the same, you know, folks playing. And I guess the field would probably be pretty different. So I guess they can just do different whole locations and like, I don't know. So it'll be interesting. It'll be weird. It'll be different.

But again, it's the era of COVID. So that's just kind of what we're going to get. All right. All location changes, by the way. Man, I've been playing the same course consistently. this place Rockville links. I talk about it often. And when I go each Monday,

they change these pins around. It's a whole new course. Whole locations, because you step up to a hall and the pins all the way on there right now, tucked on top of a huge bunker. You're not even looking at the left side. I'm like, this is a whole new hole.

I didn't even know the green dipped up there. You know what I mean? Like, that shit, it really, really opens your eyes to what pros have to deal with where they play the same course four days in a row, and you're dealing with all the nooks and crannies of these greens and fairways and bunkers

and stuff because like I don't think about that shit ever I show up to a horse the pins have been there for years in my mind I don't know it's the same shit it is true too like that's when you if you get into if you ever get into some some deep like horse architectural BS that's one of the things people rave about is if you have bigger more expansive greens you get different hole locations and when you have different whole locations the holes can play completely different day to day which means the course can play completely different every time you play it um which is cool and I think that like you know a lot of the munis and little local tracks that we grew up playing. They've got like these tiny little circular greens where there could be like two fucking

whole locations and that's it. And it gets very boring. So it is cool as hell to go to a sweet track that's got awesome, big, expansive greens with a bunch of different whole locations. Like I'm thinking about Frankie like the 14th hole at Bethpage Black that part three, how they like a couple of years ago, whenever they did that, they expanded it and found like so now there's those whole locations on the front left. in that little like sliver and on the back left

and it just kind of makes that whole place so much differently. It can be like a fucking six iron or like a gap wedge depending on where the pin is. That green's awesome. That's what I love. I mean, big greens on par three is sweet because it can move, it changes your club like two,

three club difference, which is sweet to play the same hole and like go at a different pin and have a totally different club in here. And clubs and country clubs take it very seriously where they like the the um supers will put these pins and stuff because at this place specifically they wanted it to be like um they have like a computer system now that generates where they should be putting these pins so that it's like like it's a different one that they haven't seen so you may be

a member there for years right and like it's always the same pins and it gets very redundant now they have this computer system that like tells them exactly how many feet off each edge and now they're getting pins that they've never seen before. And it goes based off the day and the weather and it's crazy. They take this shit seriously their pin placement. Well, sometimes too, I've heard that like clubs will give like a super like, you know, an FU day back to the members where the super will get to place the pins in legal like positions where it's just impossible to make the put or like have a good score, which I've played it. Like it is super fun to play against those pins when you know that they're just in impossible areas because it's so.

You're playing against a person at that point. Yes. Yes. He's trying to make your day miserable and you're just hoping to come in and be like, yeah, I made 12 bucks. You go find him being like, hey, that fucking pin on 12, I drained a 10-foot slider. I took a video here. Why don't you watch it?

Like, this is what I did. You make a little bit more difficult there. At Aaron Hills, they call those the fucking four-plate pins because that goddamn super whenever we go there, they like triple roll the greens and put the pins in the rough, basically. You're like, what the way? How are we going to play this golf course? We suck. That's right.

When we were on our, way. Riggs and I both got a DM from like the super. He's like, I triple, quadruple rolled the greens. They're rolling at like a 32 and the pins are in absolutely impossible locations. And that's like the night before you're playing Aaron Hills, which is already one of the hardest golf courses in the world. And you're like, I mean, all right. Like, do you want me to go home? Like, I don't know what that means. Yeah. Note to super's from when we go to your golf course from now on, don't like do the opposite of that. We need four guys to beat good golfers clearly if you watch the scramble. Like, so when when we're on our own, stop putting the pins in these areas.

Like, if you want to showcase your golf course, put them inside the bowls. I want to see balls rolling towards the pins. I don't want to. If you want big celebrations out of us, like draining bombs, put them in easier spots because otherwise we're just going to be furious. Yeah. From the galleries up next, we've got some very good ones to get to. If your lawn has been looking crappy lately, you got weak thin grass.

You know what that looks like. It's discouraging. It's embarrassing. You don't want people to see it. You got weeds, bugs, commonware, and tear from the elements. you're breaking your back, you're trying to keep up. You don't really know what you're doing. I want my lawn to look pristine, but it just doesn't.

I'm getting more and more tired. How the heck can I figure this thing out? Scott's turf builder, triple action. That's the answer. They love from the gallery. They love making your lawn. Go from crappy to phenomenal to pristine. They're going to give your lawn thicker, healthier, greener grass,

and they're going to do it with less work for you. Beautiful green grass doesn't have to stop. Once you left the golf course, we all know what that beautiful green grass can do two eggs. golf course, how much it can change your whole day. It does the same thing to your lawn, same thing to your yard, same thing to your status in the neighborhood. Wow, that guy's got a great green lawn.

Green like Frankie's shirt. That's a beautiful green you got on your shirt, Frank. What is that? Aaron Hills. Harry's Caddy shirt. Wow. That's a good one. Limited edition.

That's a real. Hanky Panky. Our guys sent us some stuff. That's one of them. It's a really good shirt. I'm wearing two T-shirts. I don't know why. actually I know why.

You know why. Because your nipples? Yes. Yeah. That's what I thought. Let's focus on the green of your shirt and not your protruding nipples. I agree. I like green.

Oh, here's, you guys want to know a fact? Yeah. What color has the most shades? I'm going to say green. Yeah, that's the answer. I don't have the number of shades. Really good guess. I don't have the number of shades.

I don't know the factual number. I just know, and this is a factual statement, that green has the most shades. of color. Is that a, is a Frankie fact? Is this a real fact? I mean, that's a Frankie fact. I heard it. Speaking of green, Scott's Turfilder,

triple action. You got this. Go get yourself some of Scots. I was going to say like white. I feel like white or gray has a million shades, doesn't it? I was going to say gray when I heard that. Yeah, gray. I heard it in passing.

Is that because of you guys like thinking of 50 shades of gray? And that seems like a high number to you? Seems like a huge number, 50. How many people do you think listen to this and like immediately go to their browser and type in color that has the most shades? I also like that Riggs asked you like, is that a real? Is that a Frankie fact?

Or a real fact? And you said, I heard it. I heard it somewhere. And that's like good. You didn't really answer anything. That's the barrier to entry for the Frankie Facts. Okay, from the gallery, we're going to get into, presented by Scots. Thank you, Scott's.

Kevin says, first time shooting under par, two under 70. Is it a crazy move to snap a pick with the scorecard and then he attached a picture of him kind of like he got a whole on one holding up the scorecard says he's seven handicaps or chances that he'll ever go that low again are very slim so the question is what are like acceptable golf accomplishments to take a photo of where is he standing in the picture i mean 100% it's okay it doesn't matter he shut 200 i'm okay i'm on that side too i think it's okay but i think where he's standing with the card is very important

yeah because some people do the fake hole in one where you're not sure you know where they're standing by the pin and it looks like this has that's kind of been designated as the hole in one spot yeah he's like by the entrance or something to the course so it's more about the course than it is about the flag and the hole i think it's about who you're with too if i was with my dad like my dad would definitely make me take a photo right he'd be like so like get there in front of the flag and let's make sure that we document this but if you're with your buddies i think it's tough to um ask them to pull out a pick because there's me yeah you had a good golf round like yeah sick man like you i will say when i shot even par i just wrote it on the golf ball i just said like took a little like

marker that you mark up your ball with and just said like even par the round in the day you can't give that to a 12 year old one day nobody's gonna ask for that i'm just kidding sorry 12 year old did ask for that yeah he did hey by the way we didn't i don't even know if we talked about we met pete did we talk about that yep no i don't think we talked about it he was the um what do you call that the, is it like the standard bearer or is that reserved only for funerals? He's, he's the score bear. I don't know. I don't know.

There's got to be a technical term for that. Whatever. He's a sign guy. He's a sign guy. Sign guy. Very respectful. Man, does that kid have a good head on his shoulders? The father's very into it as well, making sure that, like, he was standing in the right

spots and he was putting in the right numbers and who's up, who's down. I really enjoyed his presence. I thought he was, Trent's looking at me, smirking a little bit. But I thought, and I also thought he was a little younger than what we had saw on the video.

He's got very much a 12 year old voice. He does. I was going to take a step further, actually. I was starstruck because I did not expect to be there. I like didn't, I didn't know he was going to be there. We rolled up, there's a putting green right next to the first tee

at Pioneer's number two, and we're going to go roll some puts. And Pete's just standing there. And I was like, that's the kid that beat Riggs. But like, I just didn't expect to see him, and I felt like I, like I felt before when I've been Starstruck. I heard him before I saw him.

I heard, hi, Mr. Pashley, and I was like, and he was underneath, like, my elbow. I was like, oh, Pete. He, he is small. He's small. I mean, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little 12-year-old kid. Yeah. I will say, I don't know what the size of a 12-year-old. Like, I don't know many 12-year-olds.

I only bring up the size because, like, I just, I, like, can. can't believe he could hit the ball that far. Yeah, true. Well, I was going to say that his father, who was extremely nice, texted me several days before. It was like, Pete would really like to be the sign guys, and really we can make that happen. And I didn't respond because I was like, I don't,

I don't know if I want the bad juju of, like, Pete who defeated me on the course, like, around. I just, you know, this, like, I don't know that I want that. And then I had to remind myself, like, no, he's just like a 12-year-old kid who wants to be. No, he's not a bully. He's not going to hurt me. We're going to be okay. He's not going to, like, rip my underwear over my head and hang me from the flag.

You loser. It's the opposite. He's the most respectful person I've maybe ever met. Yeah, he's great. I actually felt bad because he, like, when we did the cradle match with him after and Kisner and everything like that, I feel like he didn't hit it as well as he wanted to because he is like, he's a stud golfer. Yeah. And I feel like you always want to, like, play well in front of Kisner or whatever and, like, show up your skills, especially when you're a kid.

And I don't think he had his best stuff. but yeah he's super nice at one point we were deciding we were off the green and I think I think someone had knocked it up there and I finally took a wedge out and it was like towards the end of the round against kids and he looked at me like

and he said something like you need this one and I looked at him like what the fuck did you say to me and now like I had him in the back of my head and he's staying right there with our goddamn score and he's staring at me I'm like boy is this kid in my head right now and I duffed it and I remember looking at him and he just laughed, like, shook his head and walked up and just, like, walked up the green

with his little sign and laughed and, like, shook his head at me. Like, like, you suck. Like, it was like a, holy moly was at a bad shot kind of laugh. Like, Jesus. And I was like, oh, man, am I like, he had me in his back pocket. Like, like, he's just, he is the adult in that situation. Right. He very much, too, is almost a little, like, Tiger in that he's his best and most comfortable

in the golf course. Yeah. So, like, when you chat with Pete, like, when we had him on the show and his home and stuff, like, he's a 12-year-old kid. He's shy and, like, a little nervous and, like, not really. And you kind of expect him to be, like, give these awesome answers in an interview. And you're like, no, he's just, he's a 12-year-old kid. But then when he's on the course, he's confident. Like, that's when he almost, like, enters his own little world where he's like, no, I'm, I'm the king now, bitch.

And he, like, kind of becomes confident, cocky. And he's laughing at Frankie. He clearly beat me and wiped the floor of me. So, like, he does. He changes a little bit. which is cool to see. So there you go. You're like Tiger.

Take that one and run with it. You're just like Tiger, Pete. Way to go. Kevin, another Kevin, got back to back, Kevin says, is it acceptable for me to request a caddy at a nice resort I'm going to as a post-quarantine vacation reward, even though I'm an 18 plus handicap

and I have dog shit 15-year-old mix of golf clubs? I would say, Lord knows this. Like we had like our last buddy's trip. We like made our buddy who's, our highest handicapped in our group, take a caddy, and it changed everything in the best way possible. People that need caddies the most, people that are going to save strokes and save time and save their experience on the golf course, especially if it's like an iconic course the most

are the highest handicaps, in my opinion. Yeah, my rounds, I'm a high handicap player, obviously, and every time I've had a caddy, it's made my experience 300% better. It's just way, way better. They can help you read greens. They can tell you where to put the ball. They can give you a little tips here and there. Yeah, I couldn't agree more. A higher handicapped guy like myself, it makes a round so, so, so much better. Yeah. And I think there's a stigma maybe real quick, sorry, I'll urge that. I'm really not that. Sorry, actually, I don't know why I said that. But there's like a stigma around, you know, if you're like caddies should only be for good players and they're going to give you the right. The caddy will tell you, 99% of the rounds they

catty for people are horrible. And like, and most people in golf are horrible. But like, they're like, no, no, we, like, put people that we caddy for, like, never break 100, never break 90. Like, it's just, that's the average golfer. It's really, really, really, really hard. And so people shouldn't feel, like, embarrassed or nervous to be like, oh, I have a caddy. I'm not going to play well. Like, brother, they see that every day. Yeah, I'd like to know what he's, his, like, fear is in getting a cat.

Like, I think it's a great idea to get a caddy. It's all about the experience. It's all about the walk, as some people say. and great caddies can make it just a way better experience. So I'm actually interested to know his fear, like, and what the problem really is. It's like the caddy's there, it's his job. Like, he's out there to have some fun as long as you have a good attitude. It'll be great.

The only time, the opposite of that comes into play is when you're at a place like Sage Valley, when we went there with Kisner, and I was stepping up to the T and my caddy, like, heard we were only playing nine, and he scoffed and was like only nine. And then he saw my swing, and I duffed five in a row. picked up my bag and walked to the first D. I wasn't even allowed to continue my practice. He was so disgusted with my performance on the range that he knew what kind of day was in for him.

At that moment, I'd never been more scared to have a caddy because I was like, but the first friends by the end of the day. But our arc was something a movie crew would love to write that kind of story. I mean, we started out as enemies and we became brothers on the third or fourth hole. I mean, he was like my dad.

it was crazy. Saw something funky there. He saw something funky. That time that he pulled the seven out of my hand and just got in my face and says, we're going to go with a five. Like, let them all take seven. Like, we're going to put this thing right next to the stick and looking at me like eye to eye. Like, it was fucking bagger vans, man.

It was nuts. Yeah. So long story short, anybody should take a caddy. And I think the worse you are, like the more important a caddy is going to be in the better it'll be that you have one. All right, we're actually going to hit people with a little Frankie fact right here. Did you know that your skin is the largest organ

on your body? I knew that. Did you? I think so. I think I've heard that before. Is it in the same class of organ as your liver? I think an organ's an organ. Yeah. I don't think there's much. Like, I think the definition stays the same.

I think there's like class A organs, class. How organs do you have, Trent? I'm going to say five. Really? I'm going to say like 12. What? Like your brain's an organ. Oh, shit.

Your heart, your spleen, your liver, your skin, your lungs. We're already past five, unfortunately. Frankie's trying to look it up and he doesn't look like he's got any answers. Is your dick an organ? Oh, interesting. What about your testicles? Anyways, none of this has anything to do with what I was trying to make the point of, which is that your skin.

is the largest organ in your body. It takes up an estimated 16% of your entire body mass. So it's very important that you would take care of it. Or as an Alps, natural skin care, is the perfect addition to towel time. We talk a lot about towel time on here. Let's just sleep in software. 78 organs? There's nearly 78 organs in our body according to shape, size, and function from which 22 are internal.

I was wrong with five. Five was wrong. Five vital. External? know, like you're, oh, vital. So there are different classes. Thank you. A vital, this is what I ask.

A vital organ is a heart, brain, kidney, liver, lungs. A sensory organ is eyes, ears, nose, tongues. And it goes on and on and on. You were right. You were right. Ors and Alves, they got a whole range of products to elevate your skincare routine. Their solid face wash contains activated charcoal, which exfoliates your skin for deep cleaning.

I've actually, I use this stuff. it's phenomenal. It's phenomenal. It's so good. I just need to interrupt you like I do all the time. I can't live without Or as an Alps. And I have a million times. I do not know what's going to happen if like something happens.

Like if Orson Alps when I'm 80 years old isn't around, what am I going to do to not have my body perspourate? Like I genuinely can't go a day without using an Orson Al's product. And I've like argued with my buddies about this. I was at like an outdoor social distancing picnic at the part. and like my buddy saw me putting on oars and I was like what is that I'm like it's natural deodorant he's like why do you need natural deodorant I put on whatever like big deodorant and it and I put it on at night apparently he said and when he wakes up it that's how it activates

put on at night in the next day you're actually not sweating it was crazy I'm like bro I put on something that is good for me like I used to get red marks underneath my armpits you know remember when it like that that crappy stuff like it all like yellow stuff on your yellow on your shirt and then also sometimes like your hair will have like white like crust on them you know that and then you got to peel them off and like that hair comes it hurts can't tell you how good i feel with this or not up stuff it's the shampoo the face wash the cleansers and i mean the different smells too i use the orange one and then the blue one for the deodorant it's just you have to get it it it's life-changing and it's not just an ad

they can stop sponsoring and i'll still use it here's how you get it here's how you get he go to or Ors and Alps.com. You use code Riggs and you're going to get 15% all. That's limited time only. So get your ass over to Ors and Alps.com. Code is rigs. You get 15% off. It's all natural, baby.

And it's got, they got the face wash. They've got a ton of different products. We use all of them. Orsonalps.com. Code Rigs, 15% off. Jack says, what are each of your greatest golf achievements? I mean, my easiest one is my 102 at Aaron Hills. That's by far the best golf achievement.

I would have loved, boy, boy, oh boy, would I love to break 100 that day. But just playing that well and that difficult of a course, that's definitely my number one. What about your putt in Australia? Fuck. I don't even think about that. I know. It's a different. It's just like a one-off versus a full round.

I think it might be that putt. That was on camera and everything. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. They're very different in that. that like the Aaron Hills round took like four and a half hours and the put took 25 seconds. But the elation I felt from that put and having it on video and the celebration with Frankie, that that's right up there.

It's one or two, one A and one B, those two of us. Oh, man, this is a tough one. Holy shit. Well, my brain just sucks, right? So like I'm not so good at remembering scores from rounds. You know what, Frankie? It might be the, your eighth hole at Pebble Beach. Your eighth hole at Pebble Beach, maybe.

Remember the chipping at Bayonne? That thing was unreal. Yeah. From the bunker. I just sank one in for the bunkers going 200 miles an hour, but somehow drilled the bottom of the hole. We got it on video. It was like, it was incredible.

That was the only video I took that whole day. I just was like, oh, Frankie's in this bunker. He's fucked and I filmed it and he holed it. But the eighth hole. Pebble Beach is a really good one. I think pros would all like to take that hole when they're playing in a professional golf match. And then another one was, you know, like I said, my brain sucks. I don't remember what I shot. It was a low 80s score. I was playing really good golf at this time. I didn't have the mental yips. I wasn't on this show at the time. I was just with my buddies. I don't even think I was

working at Barso at the time. I was just in college. It was when we were playing Bethpage Black, like, every weekend. We were getting out there. I used to work at 4 o'clock at Borelli, so I'd get like a 10 o'clock in the or nine o'clock Bethpage Black Tea time and I'd play and then I'd go work for rallies. It was great. I was playing the most golf in my life, even more than now, it's just crazy. And I remember we played an afternoon round. It was like a twilight Bethpage Black round. It was my buddy Mike.

And I don't know who else I was with, maybe my buddy Tom, but they would remember this better than me because I have the worst brain in the world. But I played so well this day that we all, it got so dark on 16, 17, 18, that they stopped like caring about there around. And we all just worried about me ending my round. So like we step up to the 17th and it's like that amazing historical part three at Bethpage Black. It's usually where the huge grandstands are.

And you can't see a thing and I just rip like a four iron and it just goes into nothing, nothingness. And we're all running up there. I have a search party and the ball is just off the back of the green. And I trip up and I tap in for parr. Like holy shit. Like I think I was shooting like an 82 or something. It was like the first time I was in like the low 80s.

I remember getting up to 18 and none of them even hit. And I just, I hit a drive and like I had a fork. caddy out there. Like my buddy's like, let me go run out there and we'll see where it goes. And I played the 18th hole in the pitch black. And I remember hitting the green and two. And then we had a put to the point where we were legitimately using like our flashlights on our phone to see where the hole was.

It was pitch black. And I remember getting it in. And that was like such a cool moment because like we always talk about like, remember that's how we played in the pitch black just to finish your like regular round. But like it's a big black and it's like a personal record there. It was really cool. That reminds me a barboogle with Lurch.

Remember where you guys closed us? out on like the fucking 13th hole and then Lurch had a career round going. So we were all just following Lurch. Yep. But I totally blew up on the 18th. And legit fell, which will be hysterical on video.

The other, I think my, I mean, mine's simple. I think it's beating Kisner. It's like my best golf experience in best golf moment. Oh.

And I was sweet, dude. I mean, like, I legit, my expectations were, like I believed we could win, but I thought the chances were against.

us. Do you think because you played so well personally that it's more of a No, I mean, yeah, I mean, I definitely played well, but like it wasn't, no, I mean, everybody helped out, which was sweet. Did you like that little part of the teaser I put in where I snuck in that one way? Of course. I mean, I'd be crazy not to like that part where Kisner was like he hits it so well or whatever. It's going to be way too hard, right?

Yes. That was huge. If anyone doesn't like that, then I don't know how to talk to me. I knew that you were going to like that one for sure. It always comes back to your teaser. And I know the teaser, I'm going crazy with the teaser,

but the slow mo of, I mean, this is all the camera working this one, but the slow mo of Riggs is walking. That's what I was saying for an eternity. I just can't wait for it to disappear. I was like, this clip's getting better and better every time. You took two steps and the ball still didn't disappear.

I waved my putter. I took two steps and like switched hands with my putter. I mean, speaking of that, is that your number one, your best golf achievements? Oh, yeah. So I was going to say that, like that legitimately felt like we had won an actual golf tournament.

Like people around the resort were congratulating. I said like, and have been ever since. Like when I see people, people come like out of the coffee shop that are working behind a counter. Like, congrats on that win against kids. Like, we won the fucking U.S. Open. So I think that has to be number one.

The only thing that I can think of that would be close or maybe tied for me was like the first time I played the old course at St. Andrews, I birded 18 on my own ball. And like that was that green is obviously in the fucking town. You've got the royal and ancient right behind it, the clubhouse there. You've got people kind of like scattered around watching like leaning in on the fence. And I birded 18 playing my own ball like as in. like Golden Hour and that was just like like what world am I in right now and some fan I think his name was like Leon or something like that filmed it and legit like I didn't even know he was there just standing on the street and filmed me putting out and making a birdie on the

18th hole at at the old course but I would I would still probably have to say to put against kids like that moment us beating him how how like how much we came together and how how like legitimate of a round of golf it felt like it felt like a u.s open round of golf like we were there were moments we were in the driver's seat we're like we got birdie looks we're going to make one of these there were moments we're like we're in trouble we need a heroic shot there are moments we're like we're like two 30 out how are we going to how are we going to get anywhere near the hole and like lurch or frankie would rip a long iron it was like it felt like a very legitimate grind of a of a round of golf except we just got to split it up among

four and like we won a huge golf tournament with three of our buddies like that is that's just I don't know how it gets any cooler than that walking down four and five at pebble beach is probably the moment of golf I'll remember the most vividly because it had nothing to do with my swings I was hitting the balls in the water I was chunking shit I hit the fence on four some like it was crazy but like that's the moment where I'll actually see the golf course the most does that make any sense Like I actually remember what it looked like to an actual millimeter of everything. And my brain's mashed potato, so I can't remember anything. But that, I can feel the wind in my face when I think about walking up that huge five and six.

And it's just... I do agree with you because when I play Pebble and you leave four and you look right and you see six green and you see everything building up to six. It is, that's like a vivid memory. I've got a couple golf courses on my head where if I close my eyes, I can... picture it like just like you said to the millimeter and pebbles certainly that because also you're like trapped in the trees and you're so waiting to see pebble you know you don't play pebble to play pebble to play six seven eight all the through 18 um and so when you first see it you're like holy hell i'm here here like before i was on the golf course but now i'm like i'm getting

in the teeth of it and this is i mean this is part of why i play golf because even like the day like that next week or whenever we ended up going back for the U.S. Open, like we walked up that fifth fairway with like J.T. and like his family and like during the practice round. I was like, this is like crazy that we were here being able to just play this course, like whatever it was a couple weeks ago. Like that to me was like it didn't make any sense that we were allowed to do it. Ebel does have that effect.

I agree. And that's why I believe that it's like underrated. I think that, you know, like golf. golf, the golf world wants to hate Pebble because of how much exposure it's gotten. And the fact that it's like a cash factory and they charge a bazillion dollars and they just crank tea times all day long. And then you get there and you've seen it on the video game a million times and you've seen it on US opens and Tigers clips and highlights.

They play a tournament there every year. And you get there and you're like, oh, oh, I haven't seen it like this. Like this, whoa, like this. And we get to just play this game on top of all of this. Like, how can that be a thing? So I agree with that. I think Pebble is like the only place that's had that strong of an effect when you see it. Yeah.

And that shot on 8 was pretty cool. Yeah, well, I remember, can we make a Zoom connection go out again? Any PG-2-4, why would they take that? Is that shot on video, by the way? I've actually never gone back and, like, looked at that hole. Sure it is. That was the day we almost lost Jake. I think I have it somewhere.

Well, I mean, I'm looking at, I mean, during quarantine, man, I'm running out of things to pleasure myself to. Yeah. You want to powder up and watch some... If you want to send that over to me, man, I got some more... I got it all the time in the world. I'll go looking for it. I think that's the show. I think that's pretty much all I got.

You clowns got anything? It's conservatively... What's... What are you doing? It's conservatively. What are you going to be in there? There's too hot in his room for him to speak. Conservatively?

Eighty-five degrees in my right. room. I don't know about you guys, but I guess it's a Long Island thing. We were just talking with Brendan and Jake. We don't have like Central Air in my house. So we have to put these AC units in all these windows. I mean, it's a whole day, the whole thing. Who's going to help me put the AC in the windows? And sometimes you've got to put like the wood on the side. It's like a whole thing. It's a whole thing. Are you wearing a sweatshirt then? To be honest, bro, I don't know. Like I'm wearing a hoodie. I don't know. You see you are incredibly lethargic right now. Like you, they,

has taken over and like you as soon as we're done here you're just going to fall asleep i'm going to take an ice cold shower but like this is the pains of having to put these ac units in the window because then you don't want to do it and then the heat comes quick the heat comes quick yeah it does i remember when my parents first got divorced when my dad bought a place we had ac two christmases uh yeah two christmases one of the benefits but we had to put those AC units in and the cold shower is the key to any good sleep. You take a freezing cold shower, you put that thing on blast, and then you get in your covers and hope to God.

And then you die of hypothermia? No, he's right, man. Dude, you literally try to time it up just right so then you fall asleep, why you're still like cold because you'll wake up eventually in the middle of night. Like the AC unit will break, like, or fall out of the window and the heat is pouring in. You got to time it up and make sure it's perfect. Maybe even like tidy up your bed a little bit. Yes.

Yes. Before you get into the shower. So like you stretch all the stuff around. You make sure the pillows are nice and tight. And you get in the shower, you know you're coming back to a nice, clean bed. And you don't even put clothes on. You slip right into nothing naked. No.

Oh, man. Does that feel good? I don't even know how much you dry yourself off. I don't know how I think you need your head wet like boy am I going to do that today. It's just a soaking wet bed the next morning. And at that point you can just start pissing all over and it doesn't matter. Like it's the same thing. You know what I mean?

All right, boys. Well, that's about it for me. Yeah, that was fun. That was a good time. We'll be back next week. Everybody have a lovely weekend. Hit it hard. Hit it hard.

Hit it hard. It's hard. Barstool Sports teamed up with New Amsterdam vodka to officially create our signature drink. It is the Pink Whitney. Yes, it's created by the Spitten Chicklet's crew. We may have sparred with them over the years. Doesn't matter. They can make a drink.

That's just those are facts. And the result from what they did, from coming up with the Pink Whitney, from working with New Amsterdam vodka, the Spitten Chicklet's crew came up with a seriously smooth vodka infused with fresh pink lemonade flavor. Keep this game changer on deck for a tailgate of. pregame a watch party with social distancing, of course.

Pink Whitney, go get yourself. It's delicious. You're going to love it.

All right, folks. We're joined by a very special guest. Very, very well known has been in some iconic, iconic films. He's got the holy moly mini golf competitions on ABC, which I'm sure we'll get into. Rob Wrigal, joining the show, the hilarious Rob Riggle. Thanks for joining the show, my friend. Absolutely. Thanks for having me.

So where are you coming? Where are you coming to us from here today? Sunny Los Angeles, yeah. Yeah. So I wonder, do you guys have been able to play any golf? I mean, I know maybe a little bit up north, San Francisco, they've opened a little bit, but is L.A. a little more locked down? No, actually, recently they've opened up the golf courses.

You know, there's still, you know, certain rules around it, but it's fine. It's actually been good because, you know, they're not letting people use carts or anything. So it's back to old school. It's back to like college golf, you know, you're humping your bag around the course. You're getting in a nice, you know, if I go out and play Rustick or play any of these courses, you know, it's about a six, seven mile hump with that, with your gear with the clubs. And it feels good. You know, you get some good exercise. It's not just the cart golf with bloody mares. Right. The term pumping it around, humping the bag around the course. I don't know

where that hump term came from, but it's a good term. It's a military term. It's a military term. Oh, okay. It also keeps you straight, right? Because you don't want to be spraying the ball around. So I've often gotten into like that cart style of golf where even if I hit it onto the other fairway, I'm like, I'll just drive there and I'll be fine. But when you're carrying your own bag, every shot means a little bit more because you're not walking over the creeks and then through the trees. Like, you better keep this thing straight because your health is on the line, not just your score.

Absolutely. And then by the time it gets around the 17th or 18th hole and you hit it and it's just a little too far away, you go, ah, screw it, I'll take the penalty. Yeah, it gives you an excuse too, right? You start doing that like, I'm tired. You know, you walk, I'm tired. That I'm tired on the 16th hole is classic. So Rob, hit me with kind of golf, you've always been a golfer.

Did you get into it when you were young? Was it kind of influenced by somebody in your life? Or did you get into it later? How long, you know, where is your relationship with golf come from? You know, a self-starter. I was doing something in my parents' house. Obviously, I was a kid. I was like 11.

And I found a set of golf clubs that were my moms. but they fit me because, you know, she's little. I was little. And there were these old clubs from the 1950s, Patty Berg's. There were these Patty Berg signature clubs or whatever, like Wilson made them or whatever. And real Woodwoods, you know, leather grips that had been worn slick.

No one touched them in two decades probably. And I came upstairs with them. I go, what are these? And she said, oh, those are my old clubs. I was like, they fit me. Can I never, take me to a driving range. or, you know, I begged her to take. So she did.

And I didn't know what I was doing. I had a baseball grip and I was swinging as hard as I could. But I went through a bucket of balls and, you know, it was miserable. I was topping everything. Whiffing. But I think the last couple balls, I hit it just right on the sweet spot. And a tuning fork goes off in your loins. And I was like, oh, that was amazing.

So then I was like, I'm in. You got me golf. You got me for life. in. So that was it. Then I just, I started playing and I never took a lesson until I was an adult, which, you know, such a case of time, I should have taken a lesson and gotten away from so many bad habits. But anyway, and I loved it. I absolutely loved the game. And still to this day, love it for many reasons. But yeah, I love the game. What's the golf scene like in the Hollywood scene? I mean, is there like a circle? Like, who's your, who's kind of your crew that you'll play with?

around, you know, around the area. You know, yes, the golf's big anywhere, really, but it's, there are different groups. And, you know, there's guys that you play with for different reasons, different social groups. But I have one group of guys that I like a lot. We call ourselves The Ramblers. There's the drummer for Steel Panther sticks it in you. Cort McGowan, who's a comedian, Brent. And it's kind of a road group, you know, whoever can make it out.

I was using, you know, standard gambling, you know, skins, valid, all that stuff. If you're in the fairway with someone, you always got to go closest to the hole, if you're the same distance, you know. So there's always side betting and it's a blast. We always have a good time. So what's up with the, so holy moly mini golf, you know, I mean, I feel like with things with top golf and all these golf's trying to become more fun and people are trying to different variations of it.

So talk to us a little bit about, you know, you know, holy moly and the mini golf competitions. Yeah, holy moly is, we're going into our second season, the first season went really well, people really respond to the show. It's a fun show. It's miniature golf meets wipeout, so to speak. And so you have these, not only trying to do these miniature golf holes that are challenging in their own right,

but you've got to overcome all these obstacles too. And a lot of times, you know, people get sent into the water, launched. And it's fun. It's fun to watch. We have professional golfers out there. We have grandmothers out there. And Joe Tessitore, who's an awesome sports announcer, he and I are doing the play-by-play, and we're having a blast. I don't do any preparation before the show because I can't respond to until I see it, you know, so I'm just, I'm reacting as I see it. And that's fun, because a lot of times I'll say whatever comes to mine. If I get Joe to laugh, I feel like I have won.

So that's always a good thing. But it's a fun show. And it's great for the whole family because the whole family can watch it. Grandparents all the way down to the little ones. So that's rare these days. And it's also a good competition show. You know, I miss sports. I miss competition.

Right. And this is a fun way to, you know, you pick someone that you really like for whatever reason and you get behind them and you watch how far they go. Yeah, it is. I feel like everybody's hungry for any competition they can get right now. So we actually, we had the Jonas brothers on the show yesterday. And they were kind of telling us how they build it out. When they build their tour, they kind of tell their people like,

hey, we want to make sure we can hit this area so we can play this golf course. You've obviously been a part of a bunch of movies that we're all incredibly familiar with. On set, I mean, are there? Are you guys trying to sneak out and play? Are you finding like the hot spots? Like when you're when you're filming some of these movies like like the hang like what is what is the golf scene like you know with oh yeah a lot of movies these days are shot in Atlanta and Vancouver that's just in this is where the tax breaks are so that's where they go yeah I was when I was shooting dummy number two Jeff Daniels is a big golfer the Fairley brothers golfers so you know it wasn't hard to find a game and we always fight each other because I'll be standing on set, working on my grip, working on my swing, you know, and it's easy to identify each other.

And so, yeah, especially when those guys are involved, because then, you know, every weekend, we had to force them, and we'd go play around Atlanta, you know, great courses, you know, these wonderful courses. So that always helps when you have somebody that has a little juice who can get you on to some cool courses. But yeah, anywhere I go, if I'm working, I usually take the sticks with me on the outside chance that a golf game breaks out. Yeah, I love the thought, right?

Like most people, they're 9 to 5. They're like, hey, if we could wrap up this report, we can get out, get in a quick nine. You guys are like, let's wrap the C man. You've got to nail this fucking line so we can go play some. That's awesome. And they do have a top golf down in Atlanta. And many was the night when we wrapped.

And we wouldn't have time to go, you know, play 18 or play even squeeze in 9. But we wanted to hit. We'd go to top golf. and, you know, have a beer, swing the club a little bit, you know, do a little side-bidding, have some fun. Love that. It was a great way to round out the day. So, yeah, we did that quite a bit, actually.

Just to kind of get into just, I'm curious about your career when it comes to pick and rolls, what's your process like for that? Because, I mean, I've only seen, like, entourage where it's like a legitimate kind of look at scripts, who reads scripts, who decides. So for you, I mean, if you're going to decide to take a role in something, how does that process work? A lot of times it depends on if they offer it. Let's just start there.

It's so funny. I have people go, you should start a movie. The people that hold the purse strings, the people that are in charge, you know, the studio heads, the directors, all of stuff, they make the decision. All you can do is go in there and try. Now, I play a comedic jerk pretty well, so well that I keep getting offered that role over and over and over. And, you know, that's the curse of doing something well.

And I'm not, I don't mind it. I think it's, I think it's a fun role to play. It's, it's very rare that you get to be a jerk in real life. So it's kind of fun to take that side of your personality out for a walk every now and then. But, you know, as an actor, you know, you want to, and a comedian, I. I love to do comedy, but I can do other things too. It's just a matter of getting the opportunities to do it. So, yeah, I look for roles that I find interesting.

I read scripts, but a lot of times I'll go in for a role because I have a mortgage and because I have a car payment and I have two children. And, you know, you got to do what you got to do. But, yeah, if I had unlimited funds and I could do whatever I want, I'd only audition for certain things. but that's not real. Yeah, that's interesting. It is, it's, it's, right, it's such a different world than a lot of us can envision.

And sometimes you only see the really glamorous parts of it or portrayals of it. So you're just hearing kind of a raw like, no, no, I got to pay the bills. So I'm going to take this job is, is funny. And it's like, I do feel like a lot of times you see it almost maybe more often in comedy of people who have, like, I feel like even Vince Vaughn, like as big as he is. like he a lot of times plays a pretty similar character and for whatever reason in comedy I feel like that just kind of sticks with you guys yeah again it's that thing if you if you do something well then people like it and they they trust you to do it and then they trust you to do it

well but then they you know they come back and they're like oh this character is you know a loud mouth car salesman who rips people off okay well then there's a short list there's Dave Kekner, there's me, there's, you know what I mean? Like, there's a handful of people that you go to for that character. And again, I don't have a problem with that. I'm honored. I love being a working actor. But yeah, of course, I would love to be a cowboy in a western. You know, I like to be the bad guy in a Western or the good guy in a Western or, you know, a gangster film. I, you know, I can do other things, but it's that thing of can you get the opportunity to show those colors? And You know, a lot of times the answer is no.

So, you know, you do what you do. The fact, if you're a working actor, you know, just count your blessings. So I count my blessings every day. I'm always grateful. I'm never complaining about any of this stuff. But, yeah, you asked, so that's the answer. I'm like, I do love the thought. Like every four, six months, it's like you and the same crew in the waiting room being like,

all right, what's up, boys? Oh, God, it's the same face as every time. And we all see each other, like, you know, Coach Reynolds, Coach Reynolds? Yeah, yeah, that's right. Getting back to your golf game really quickly, what's like, what's the strong part of your game? What do you feel good about? What are you working on right now? That's such a great question.

What's the strong part of your game? My game ebbs and flows. It's so hot and cold. Coming off the tea, I do pretty well. I'm usually pretty consistent coming off the T. My 100 yard end shot, my 100 to 125 in, which is kind of wedges, that kind of wedge, when I get to take a full swing is pretty good. My around the green wedges are pathetic because I desel every time.

And so I'm getting so pissed about decelerating that now I'm. I'm like, I'm not going to desal. I'm not. I'm not going to do it. And so what do I do? I take a much bigger swing that I need to. I accelerate. And I'm flying greens.

I got no touch. I'm a gorilla around the green. And it's all because I don't want to desal. And so I got to work on that. And sometimes like the putter's hot and sometimes it's cold as ice. So it's ridiculous. I don't know. Like it's if I if I played consistently enough,

maybe I could smooth some of the, these things out, but I'm not nearly consistent. You just entered my brain. I feel like you just saw my deepest, darkest secrets. That's just like around the greens, being a gorilla, that's everything that I'm about, man. I have no touch. I have no feel. It's actually, it's the most embarrassing part about my life is that I can't get the ball onto the green. You can hit the ball, like you said, off the T. I can hit it 265, 270. I can hit a nice draw. Then all of a sudden, like, we're 10 feet off the green and I can't get it done. Like, how can I not do it from this distance when I can take a full swing and get it out there? It makes no sense to me. That's the thing, too, but that's the thing about my game also

is, I'm regulation golf. I'm golden. I'm, you know, I'm two on, two putt, boom. I'm usually a two putter, usually. But if I get in trouble, forget it. I can't get out of trouble. Like, I watch the pros play. And when the pros get in trouble, they don't even raise an eyebrow. They're like, I guess I'm all, you know, they get up and down. They do whatever they have to do. They do whatever they have to do to make par. If I get in trouble, man, I'm dead on arrival. I'm double bogey. I'm ball in my pocket. It's over.

So, you know, if I'm fairways and greens, I'm gold. And I guess that's everybody. But the good golfers can recover from the mistakes. I can't. I can't. You've obviously played in, like, big circles with big people and maybe pro amps and stuff like that. Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you've really embarrassed yourself

on the golf course? Like, have you hit one of those shots that you couldn't get out of trouble or or been in front of a gallery or something where you just couldn't get it done? No, thank God. Okay, good. I have played in a lot of very high-profile, massive gallery. I got to play in the 2016 Ryder Cup Celebrity Matchup, which was at Hazeltine, and it was the first competition offering.

So there was 14 American celebrities and 14 years. European celebrities and we went against each other. It was me and Kurt Russ, two European soccer studs. And we were sacrificial lambs because Kurt and I were like, I'm a 12 handicapped. He's like probably a nine or ten. And Del Piro, I think it was one of the Italian soccer players, was like a four handicap. And then the Ukrainian soccer guy, Krasinski or something, I don't know,

he was like a four handicapped. So we were like, they're going to murder. us because it was a two-man scramble right Kurt and I went out there on U.S. soil and we smoked them. It was it was it was one of the highlights of my life and I have a video of me sinking the putt it was probably nothing

dream but it was probably like a 12, 13 footer to win the hole and when it goes the roar from the get out of the round it probably five deep and you know it sounded like the Super Bowl It was one of the great highlights of my golf experience. It was very cool. The team was it was Kelly.

Stick, man. Wow. And Bill Murray, Jeremy Roanick, Michael Phelps, Qie Lewis, Kurt Russell, myself,

Chef Todd English. And then like the other other team was a kid from a one direction, Nails, Martina Navaritova, some European chefs, some rugby players, a couple soccer players. Like, it was this great European. When they wore the European uniforms,

we wore the U.S. uniforms. We got some games in the locker room. And we were the first competitive offering. So the U.S. fans were jacked up for it. Like, they wanted to see some golf. And so when you hit a shot, like I hit one about 125 out and just stuck it probably six feet from the pin,

and everybody in the gallery goes nuts. Like those, I can never express to you what that feels like because I never in my wildest dreams, ever thought that would ever happen. You know, to be part of something like that where you're playing golf in front of a massive gallery like that. So definitely one of the coolest things I ever did. Also, I play on the Tahoe tournament every year,

and that's got like 40,000 spectators. And, you know, you hit a bad shot and they're not very casual about it. They're like, you know, they heckle. I would suck. Because you want to turn around. You got to hit balls with six feet then. Yeah, you want to turn around and tee up another one and drive it at them.

Instead, you have to smile and go, yeah, you're right, I really do suck. Well, you're a 12 handicapped playing in front of 40,000 spectators. Aren't you nervous, like, drilling one of these people, like, off the tee box? Like, I mean, I would be shitting my pants being up there in front of that. Five people deep. Like, every single swing has so much more magnitude to it. You have to take... Yeah.

Yeah. Yes. You know, it's funny, too, because in the Tahoe, I often, times they put the comedians together a lot so I end up playing with Laird the cable guy who is absolutely so much fun he's a great hang he really is I love him and he plays with more distraction than anybody I've ever seen because everywhere he goes the gallery is screaming get her done get her done hey mama hey mater and they're just relentless they're yelling at him and that's like happy yelmore out there that you know it is it really is but he's he's like I said he's so gracious

that you know he'll he'll swing and then get her done and he'll you know wave and high five and He talks to everybody and he's really a great play. But when we get to that whole 17 in Tahoe, it's a par three and it's half of it is the beach. So all these boats pull up on the beach and it's, you know, rock and roll music and girls and bikinis and everybody's drinking and beer banging and it's this party. And then on the other side, you know, the people that bought tickets and they're a little more conservative. And then the green is surrounded. But it's just a corridor of people. He steps up to the green every year.

He's like, please move back. I'm not kidding. And there was like, oh Larry you're the best like no this is not a joke I'm asking you to please move back for your own safety because he will have he'll send a hot smoker right at eye level right down the whole

150 yards and he's like I tried to warn him I try to warn him every year nobody believes me so it's good it's nice to hear because we've everybody's watch TV and people if tiger sprays a tee shot you know they'll line up and there's like a seven foot gap but he's Tiger Woods but even us we're thinking, if he mishits this a little bit, someone will die.

And now he's taking the same crowds and you've got you guys out there who you play off like us, it sounds like. It's like, no, no, people, we're not here to be funny man and make you laugh. Like, get the fuck out of the way. You're going to die. Yeah, I do, I do ask for a little wider birth than most people when I'm hitting. And I'm usually hitting out of the rough, let's be honest. So I'm usually hitting among the crowd.

And I have to say, everybody give me a little move back for you. own protection. It's all funny games until Larry the cable guy hit the screamer over the green right to your temple. Yeah, I put him into the crowd all the time. That's awesome. That's great. Are you ever hoping like, oh, I think the crowd might have kept that ball a little closer to the fairway. I deserve to be. Oh, believe me, I, you know, as a golfer in a competition, I'm like, I hope if it hits someone, it hit him in their backpack and then kicked out into the fairway. I never want to hurt anybody, obviously. But, yeah, I mean, who doesn't want a favorable kick?

Come on now. Yeah, that's like, in the Tiger Woods video game, you play with the crowd on, and you'd be like, hit that guy, hit that guy. And then your ball would just sit right there. You'd be fine. So you've played Hazeltine, incredible golf course. What's your favorite golf course, whether it be for, like, fun aspect or just like the history of the game?

What's your favorite golf course that you've played? That I've played is Pebble Beach, no doubt. the history, the beauty of it, the, you know, walking the course, you know, it's one of those things. Like I went to the Masters for the first time a couple of years ago, and I've been watching the Masters my whole life. And so to actually walk the ground and see the holes and it was not to be too corny, but it was magical. It was a really powerful thing to actually physically walk when it is and realize how massive

it is in the hills are so huge and rolling stuff you don't get on TV. I've never played Augusta though, but to see it was powerful. Pebble, same thing. The history, you see it on TV, you know, and then to actually get to play it and walk it, you realize just how beautiful and a maid is. Yeah, I'd say Pebble for me because that's one I've played. Yeah, we almost, like on this show, I almost say Pebble's underrated because like woke golf people like to say it's over.

It's overrated, right? It's Pebble. Everybody's seen it. It's on TV every year. There's U.S. Open there in five, ten years. It was on the video games. It's overdone. And then when you get there and you walk out the fourth hole and you walk past those trees that are on your right, you can see the nice little, the yacht club right there in the harbor. And there's like different colored boats. There's like red, yellow, white boats, sailboats, the cove, stillwater cove. And then you can see out to the cliff of like what you're about to play on six, seven, eight. You're just. just like, oh my God, this actually exists. It looks like a painting. Not only do you get to look at it and experience it, you get to just play this cool game on top of it. Yeah, oh my God. You nailed it too. For me, you know, everything you just said.

And then we got, the last time I played it, we got to 17 and 18. 18 is one of the most iconic holes ever, right? But we got, you got a pretty good swing on the ball off the tee. Well, we got done with the hole. We all went over to where Tom Watson chips. There's a little marker. where he chipped out of the rough, you know,

he kind of solidified his U.S. Open win. And we all just chipped right from that spot to see how close we could come because the pin was in the same place. Just for fun, you know, it's like, how did we come? This is one of the holes. So it was a nice little take right before 18. Yeah, it's the best.

That kind of stuff is cool. Like, if you can walk in the footsteps of the grates and play the same holes they have and take the same shots they have. I don't know. It's a real connection to it. And it also makes you feel like I did it too. I don't know. It's really cool.

Yeah, you can't do that in any other sport, right? I can't step in the back. outers box and hit a home run like Reggie Jackson or something like I but I can go to pebble beach and hit from the same spot on the T-box and put the same putt and do the same fist bumps and try and like try and emulate like the heroes of the game and stuff so that is the difference and it's awesome that they have little markers out there from certain shots we've seen it a bunch of times the Justin Thomas one that we all were looking at what course was that rigs um Aaron Hill at Aaron Hill at Aaron Hills you have to have the marker there and we're like how

did he do this with that club, like from this spot? Then you just see how good they are. It's awesome. Riggs and I did it from Medina. There's a plaque where Sergio hit that like cut around the tree. And then he goes like scampering out into the fairway. Riggs and I did the same thing where we pretended to do the cut. They actually took down the tree, which is kind of a bummer.

And then did a little run, a little scamper jump across the fairway. I try to do a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. That's all. Yeah. Yeah. It's great to do all that.

That's awesome. Yeah. They had cut down the tree, so I just hit it from there and hit it straight. And I was like, what's the problem with the shot? I don't understand. But it is like that. Like when I played a pebble and played 18, you know, that tree out in the middle of the fairway, it's so fun to see where you land next to, you know, compared to that tree.

Because you know where the pros land. Right. You know, and then after you play the whole yourself, the next time you see some, the pros playing it for a U.S. Open or whatever, because I think Woodland won last year at Pebble. and I'm a Woodland fan because we're both from Kansas, but it was so fun to watch and play, I think I just played it a little while before, and I was like, you know what,

you're more intimate with the course, and you know what it's when they say, oh, it's going to be a nightmare. It's just fun that you have your more intimate knowledge of the course and actually walking it and feeling it, you really understand it better. Yep. It's the best.

It's absolutely the best. Well, Rob Regal, it's very, very obvious. You're a golf guy just like us, which we always can appreciate. And, you know, you've got Holy Moe season, two mini golf competition. We're all starving for any live competition that we can get right now on ABC. So check it out.
