Bryce and Deschambeau got absolutely mangled by a rope at a live event. I mean, he claims that it almost blinded him. The best part by far is the grabbing of the towel from his caddy. Everyone's around him. No one's laughing at this event either. How is no one laughing out loud in the crowd?

They're all just standing there like he actually got hurt. and he's on his knee and he just goes, shit! Kid me? Like under his breath? Foreplay, brought to you by Barstool Sports and presented to you

for the rest of this year by Chevy. That's a new one. Chevrolet. Chevrolet. People know what that is. Chevy. I love Chevy.

One of the more iconic American brands of all time. Absolutely. I mean, I was looking up some fun facts about Chevy and they were integral in the space race coming up with the capsules

and the seats with it. Is that right? They were the very first SUV. Oh, I didn't know that. In 1933, they came out with the SUV. 1933? Yeah, just changed the game. What? And years after that, they ended up with the suburban and the suburban, you can

put the seats down and you were able to Chevy Suburban's a classic. It's a classic. I don't think I would have guessed SUV 80s. I know. Yeah, for sure. 50 yards. I mean, you got to see the thing. It's a look. Chevy's been doing the damn thing. I don't know. They're crucial in the

in the space race, but they're crucial in the EV game. huge in the EV game, electric vehicles. So everybody's trying to get into electric vehicles, but there's a misnomer that you've got to be rich, basically. Oh, Frankie's showing us a picture of the first SUV, and you can see how the suburban comes out of that.

You can also see how iconic Chevy is. That's just a Chevy right there. Right. A Chevy looks like a Chevy in 1933. That's right. Wow. And now they're getting the EV game. So they got electric vehicles from the bolt to the blazer,

Equinox to Silverado. Chevy EVs are for everyone everywhere. They got electric vehicles available now. You can buy now the Bolt EV, the Bolt EUV, and reserve now the Blazor EV and the Silverado EV. It's 2020, folks. EV is in. We're in the future.

And if you're not hopping on now, it's going to pass you by. You know, we've always had these new inventions and these new ways of life, and it felt ridiculous. You know, when you were sending a text message to an older person, they'd be like, oh, write me a handwritten note. I don't need these text messages, these emails. And it's like, well, you know, what? Then you're just going to miss all the information because we're on the

internet now and we're going to be sending emails and text messages. If you're like, I want to drive a gas powered car for the rest of my life. I need the end. Nope, you know what? Evies are the way of the future and if you don't get on it now, you're just going to get the boat's just going to pass you by. I got really like a Chevy Silver Auto. Yeah. Yeah, man. I saw one at Wallston at the Classic last week. They got that preferred parking from the classic. You're welcome. That thing just looks sick up right there. That was American. It is American. It's an American brand like Frankie said.

What a week for American brands. too. President's Cup. Yep. That's right. EVs for everyone everywhere, Chevy, presenting sponsor of Foreplay. Huge. Thank you, Chevy. We're a huge Chevy guys.

We're as big as Chevy guys as you can get. Truly. All right. Big week. Huge week. We're in the middle of it right now, for being honest, for a four-play perspective.

We flew, we played the Iwinners on Wednesday. We had Barstool up fronts. Then we flew to Colorado on Saturday. We played the Colorado Avalanche. Then we flew back last night to New York. We're in. New York on Long Island at Cherry Valley right now.

Tonight we fly to Charlotte and we'll be at the President's Cup all week long. Yeah, it's a lot of travel. And I know, I'm not sure if people, you know, when we complain about travel, they're like, you guys got the best jobs in the world, which we do. I'm going to complain. We do have the best jobs in the world. But the fact of the matter is, is I got back to my apartment at 1 a.m. last night. And then I had to get up really early this morning because I had to pack for this week-long

trip and then we're there for a week. And then we come back and we got more stuff going on. So we're just in the middle of it right now. We love our jobs. but we also have jobs where things are going to happen. And it's one of those times where we're just in the middle of it. It's a grind. I mean, I haven't been home.

You know, everyone's like, how's your family life? Everything. I mean, it's been like a month since I've been in my house. It's crazy. It's not the best way to live your life.

But I did get hit with like a little bit of perspective pie last night, right in the face. How so? Something about, you know, and I've been thinking about this a lot recently. Perspective pie. Yeah, I had a little taste of it.

Okay. I just, it was like a sense of being really grateful walking off the plane the other night of being like, Yes, it's a grind, but we just got off the plane. And if you would have told me even a year ago, and definitely 10 years ago, that Frankie Burelli was going to be playing against a Colorado Avalanche, Stanley Cup champion, Colorado Avalanche on the New York Islanders

in a golf match that was going to be for his job. And I was walking down the tunnel out of the plane, and I'm looking at this lady that was walking. She was basically on her way onto the planes. We were walking off. And she was working for Delta, and she was pushing a wheelchair. She was about to go help someone get off the plane.

and she was all done up. She had her hair done up. This is 1 o'clock in the morning. Yeah. Her hair done up. She had earrings in. She looked like a beautiful worker that was like, that was so happy to actually just have a job to make money to go home and like provide for her family. And for some reason when I stared at her, walk by me.

I'm like, that lady is at work right now. And I'm like grinding over the fact that I'm going to have like six hours of sleep because I just got back from the fucking avalanche scramble in Colorado. And it was just such a like, can you believe that this is our job moment? and it made me just feel so, so, like, grateful for what we're doing. And also the fact that there's so many people out there that legitimately go to work every day and they hate their job, but they do it as best as they can. And then they go back home and, like, they just have like a second to just do something else. And then they have to go right back to their job. I don't know.

It just hit me, it hit me hard last night on the way home. It was just like watching her get on the plane as I was like so happy to get off. Something about that like juxtaposition just completely rattled my cage. Or I was like, what the fuck am I complain about? That's beautiful. That's the right way to look at it. It's just sometimes we're in the middle of it. You're just kind of like, ah, but that's the right way generally to look at the islanders. I played the islanders.

I know. I know. That is beautiful. I was waiting outside the Coliseum for 12 hours just to see what their car looked like. Five years ago. Okay. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I was still working at Barcelona when I was doing that.

It's fucking crazy, man. Yeah. No, that's the right perspective. That is beautiful. I will say J.T. Comper yesterday was asking afterwards, we were kind of hanging. He's like, what's the best part of all this? And I was like this. Yeah.

during the match with the avalice where I was like, dude, we're playing a golf match against guys that I grew up my whole life like when the avalanche would come to town or whoever, the, even back then it was like the Minnesota North Stars and Mike Madonna and I'd come down and I get there, make my dad get there two hours early just to watch them skate and warmups. And be like, wow, look at them. And now here we are playing a match against these guys.

Having said that, I'm going to complain for sure. Yeah. And last night, Alex and I had the biggest grind to try to go to sleep. And it's one of those where when you're the closest you can possibly be to the finish line for whatever reason they just kept moving the finish line further and further the worst and it was like like we finally get our bags and then we request this uh uber and uber's like a billion dollars and then the uber stayed five minutes away for i don't know 25 minutes yeah and you're like where's this guy coming when's this guy coming you're starting it's like

getting later you're starting to like do the body clock thing of like okay if we get back at 12 15 i could be asleep by one i can get seven hours sleep that's good now next see it's like becoming like we're not going to get back to one of one o'clock in the morning. Guy finally picked us up. And he's super nice. He's trying to help with the bags. We got a billion bags.

He's got like a little tidy car. Doesn't have a Chevy Silverado. He should have. And we're doing the thing where he's, we put everything in the truck. And then he's like, we're not going to have room. So we're going to put my clothes bag in the shotgun. Well, he puts it in the shotgun. But then it's going to beep the whole fucking ride because it's so heavy than it thinks

it's a human being. You got to throw a seatbelt on it. So he in real time, he's great. He put seatbelt on. But the bag is so big in the seat so far forward that he can't get it to click. So we're sitting here. He's waiting for this guy forever for sweater dig off. And this guy is trying to get the seatbelt to click.

He's like reaching across and he just can't get it forever. And so finally he goes around. He sits in his actual seat. And he's like, he's so close. I mean, this thing is. I can picture it. And we're like, no, you're going to have to move the seat back because the seat belt comes from behind the seat.

Right. You got to give yourself more length. And he's like, I can't reach. So he's like, trying to. trying to reach and get the thing to move the seat back, but he can't reach it. So then he's like, the only person I can reach it, it's got to be one of you. So eventually so that I'm like, all right, right. So get out of the car.

Finally, push the thing back. He snaps the thing in and he's finally like, okay. You guys haven't left the parking lot yet? Haven't left yet. We're like sitting there crying over the- So then he's got, you know, he's got the windows down and like music, whatever. Alex is sweating his tits off in this shirt. Look at this shirt.

Can we turn the camera on Alex real quick? I got a photo of it. Can you just turn maybe like the GoPro on Alex? If you're watching on YouTube, look at the shirt that our guy Alex is right. First of all, it's Nike. We're Peter Malar podcast.

So, I mean, I don't know what the hell this guy's wearing. I want to show that it's Nike because it's the worst shirt of all time. It's the worst ugliest shirt of all time. And we're never ever, ever letting him wear anything other than Peter Malar ever again because it looks like he's sweating. That shirt's a zero with a random stripe too.

All right. So you got it clicked. Okay. The clothes are in the front seat. So we get a click, the closure of the front seat, which is a heads-up move by the guy. He was great. He was helping with the bags. He just, it was one of those we just couldn't get across.

Any other time, he just snaps to see about five. But it's like, this moment we can't get out of this parking lot. Everybody's honking. I hate being in New York as it is. So they're honking in this garage. Everyone makes me think that there's a fucking attack going on. Right. So we finally get back.

And then we get to the check-in. And of course, the credit card machine is broken. So she has to take the credit card and write down every piece of a credit card on. Wait, so this is at the hotel? Okay. So she has to write every piece of the credit card down on the whole thing and goes and goes through that. You're standing there sweating and you know, it's fucking one in the morning. Everybody everybody's a zombie at this point. And then there's people coming in and they're getting all kinds of snacks. So now they're like waiting in line to like pay just for snacks. So they're doing the like, I just, I check. I just got this. Like their point. My card's already on file. It's a dollar 20 like pointing at the thing. And the lady's like overwhelmed because she doesn't even have a credit card thing. So I don't even know unless this guy has cash. I don't know how he's going to fucking pay. She can have to write down his whole card card card. true so all this is happening or i'm just like he just give me a room like just any room key to any room that doesn't have a human in it right like we'll just deal with this in the morning i don't even really care so finally you're gonna be i mean you left that hotel this morning right

oh yeah and you're never going back it's over i were there for nine hours so then i finally i get i get to i'm on floor three and i'm in room 387 and i and it's a massive like hallway goes all the way around the hotel deal yeah i'm always the last dude i'm always the last hotel room and we are always the last gate at the airport. The first thing I see is it, I see like there's two different ways you can go. And on the right, it just says room 358 to 387 to the right.

And the first room I'd see is 358. And I'm like, keep in mind, I've got five weeks worth of stuff with me. So I'm like, literally just walking down this hallway like, fuck. God damn it.

It was awful. Dude. Yeah. Oh, it took us so long. Those are moments where I just want to lay down. Like, dude, I were all like, like, if I were in that check-in line, I would have to lay down on the floor and let everyone else deal with it. Because it's just like, I don't want to have to deal with the adult stuff anymore.

It is. Absolute fucking. I like that we got both sides of it, though. We got Riggs and Alex grinding to get back to their hotel to get like five hours of sleep to then show up with the Barso Classic. But then we also have Frankie Borelli beautifully putting how, you know, we should be grateful and we should have good perspective about our lives. I think it's good that we got both. That is nice. It's nice.

I was cried on the way home. Yeah. Because of that? That's tearing up. Oh, yeah, because of the person. Well, I was like, I also, I facetime my dad when I'm out there and he's like in front of an oven at a carnival, slinging pizzas at 63 years old. And I'm like, can you imagine if that guy was able to do stuff that I got to do my whole

life? I'm only 29. It's like, it's crazy. We have to be so, we're so fucking lucky. He's slinging pizzas at a carnival. He's 63. I do sometimes. Slinging pizzas outside in 150 degree weather.

I do sometimes sit and think about your 29. you're in your 30s, I'm in my 30s. We've done a lot. We've done so much, man. And I talked to all my buddies about this. They're like, where are you going this week? And I'm traveling all over the world. They're like, dude, when I go on vacation, it's like the biggest moment of my year.

I like book my flights, whether it's a bachelor party or whatever. This is what all my friends are saying. Like, you get to go see everything. Yeah. And we like, me and you often say sometimes it's a blur. We don't even get to really soak it all in because we're traveling so much. We're doing so much that you don't really get to like take in where you're going where you're staying like last night like if that was your first time in new york city

would have been the worst experience of all time true you like barely got to your hotel you're barely getting in at one o'clock in the morning you're on an uber on your way out at seven o'clock in the morning the next day that's a lot of what we do it's like we just get in we get in we get in we get to these different places try to get out and see different things because we try to remember that like we're very lucky and like these are places that we may never be again so like let's go check everything out it's a good initiative this year by us yeah yeah get in the culture a little Yeah. But then we have a trip like the Colorado one where we were there for 19 hours. That was, you couldn't enjoy any of them.

And eight of them are on a golf course and seven of them are in a hotel. So it's like what else you see. I did get dinner show. I remember my mom. That's very nice. See, that's great. And I have to say, mom's the best. And I, you know, when I got there, because in the middle of this trip, I was like, mom, before we go to dinner, I got to do laundry. She's like, awesome. Had it all. I really go down there. And she's like, I already got the detergent in. All you have to do is press power. The best. Amazing. So I do that. I switch it. And then I, after dinner, I come back and I needed to fold all my clothes and I'm like I'm just gonna do in the morning and I had to go catch a flight to Colorado or I had to go literally to the tea time yesterday against the abs

wake up getting all my stuff together I got like 15 extra minutes baked in to try to fold everything mom already fold every single real best every single piece of my clothing was folded and I was like mom you're just the best and then she came to the match she's our fan with the match she was the only four play fan

of a lot of fans we were the only she was only fan of us only four play fan out there she was pumped She was pumped at how well Frankie was playing. Hit the ball great. But moms are just the best. So shout out to my mom. I love you. But yeah,

it's like you just, you got to get through it. Sometimes that was a good through it trip. Yeah. And you, Riggs, you said that's one we're not even going to remember. We'll never.

Well, like, oh, that's right. We did play the avalanche. We were in Colorado for 18 hours. We were in Colorado. That's like true.

That was a Truman show, I thought. Somebody put up like a green screen around us and they just said we're in Colorado. Because we were not in Colorado. Because we were at the most preposterous golf course of all time. sanctuary, which is just you can't play. It's invite only. The whole story behind this golf course is ridiculous.

This guy basically was having troubles with this country club. He's the founder of Remax was having trouble with this country club. And then he just built his own because he wanted it to be exactly the way he wants it. There's only two members. I think it's him and his wife. And everything is invite only. And we got to play this place. It is fucking ridiculous.

Sanctuary's outrageous. Yeah. So when we're out there on those tea boxes, you're looking around being like, I was in New York 12 hours ago we were talking about. Right. 24 hours ago, we were on that. golf course yeah i got to see my sister a little bit too in colorado so shout to my sister i know she listens to every show um so it's just nice seeing family mixing in some family but you're right we've done a much better job of that initiative this year of like trying to enjoy it because i do think

when you're traveling as much as we are there is such a desire just as soon as whatever commitment we have is done to just go back to hotel and go to sleep or at least just laid out which we do do do a good amount of but i think that it actually makes the trip better if we do squeeze in like no no let's go down there and get dinner oh we don't have to go hard we don't have to like be doing shots. Let's go down and get dinner and like or see this or see that. That makes the trip. You're like, you know what? That wasn't just a work trip. That was kind of fun. Dude, I'm a hotel guy and Frankie drags me out of my hotel all the time, which I'm grateful for. I hate him in the moment. I'm like, this is awful. Like I don't, I want to order a chocolate fudge

Sunday from room service, take off all my clothes and put yourself around lay in bed, put the Sunday on my chest and just eat it and just eat it that way. But then, yeah, some of the best experiences I've had is when we're out, Frankie drags me out somewhere and we have a, we have a good time. So we got to do that more. You got to do it just like, you know, the people that are putting in the grind, they're working the nine of fives. They have such a better perspective on how like to enjoy the moments that they get off of work. Everything for us feels like it's all fun. So like we're just kind of going through it. But I'm trying to get myself into that mode of that mode of being like, all right, we're in an amazing place right now. If I had booked this vacation a year ago, I would take every minute of this

in and soak it in and act like it's the greatest thing of all the time. I'm going to start doing that every single trip. I love it. I agree. Exclusive ticketing partner of Barcelona sports is Game time. We love game time. Game time's the, I don't know if it gets any better than going to live events. We're going to be at the President's Cup all week. You want to be

there tickets, the whole deal. Game time's the way to do it. And we got, I mean, we're talking about scrambles too. We got NHL coming back. We got NFL's all over the place. There's just events going out all over the place. I am very excited to go to hockey games this season. I'm not like the biggest hockey fan in the world, but now knowing these guys, and you and I have talked a little bit about it, Frankie.

When the avalanche come to UBS and play the Islanders, I'm getting on game time and I'm going to go to that game. He played golf with eight of the guys on the ice, and they're all, like, massively important players on the ice. Like, you've got Devon Taves and you've got Cal McCar going against Brock Nelson and Matt Barzel. We were out there for 16 hours with these guys. Yeah.

So it's a lot of fun. Game time is the greatest last minute ticketing app. I'm telling you right now, I went to Yankees Mets at City Field. then went to Yankees Mets at Yankee Stadium this year both times. It was a game time decision. It was. It was like the last second we're sitting around being like the Yankees are in New York against the Mets tonight.

It's freaking Max Scherzer versus Frankie Montes. I always fucking mess up that name. But it's he because he's the guy that someone said Frankie and I turned around. I said, oh, what's up? Yeah. I'm talking to Frankie. I'm talking about the professional athlete on the mound. And honestly, it was the best.

I looked at other competition when it came to last minute deals. And they were the lowest price and the best available tickets. And that's not even a joke. That's not even an ad read.

He's been chopping at the bit to get to an event and do his thing. So he went straight from Denver to Charlotte. He's in the President's Cup.

We're going to meet him there. He's already been chopping it up with Billy Ho and a bunch of different guy. So he's doing his thing. He's rioting. He's covering actual golf tournaments, which is what he does best. I know he was excited to walk into that media center for the first time as a Barstall sports employee. Because he's heard more of it than we have. I sometimes don't think about the way people view us in that media center.

I know that we've ruffled some feathers and some people don't like us, whatever. I don't think about it. Like when I walk in there to get a water, I don't think like, oh, my God. look at everybody's got their eyes on me they fucking hate us i actually don't care about that stuff but danny rap a guy who has been on the other side of it for so long and then joined up on the pirate ship he is like i'm excited to walk into that media center in charlotte for the first time to have people look at me and be like what's this motherfucker doing that has i haven't even thought about that he mentioned it to me when we were playing the abs and i hadn't thought about it either he was like it's going to be kind of wild walking in there for the first time as a barstool employee

think about how many conversations he has just accidentally been a part of too of just behind the scenes gossipy where people have said shit about us. A lot, I would imagine. You know, whether it's, yeah, it's at the food court in the media center on the bus, those shuttles walking inside the ropes, you know, it is inside those ropes. You're not really doing much. You're just watching golf and, like, tweeting about some

stuff. Usually you're just chit-chatting with the other people inside the ropes. Stuff had to have just come up dozens of times that he's just been a part of those conversations, and now he's wearing the flag. He's carrying the flag. He put up a picture this morning. He's at the Barstles Sports Media Center area. So he's

He's like, he's in it. What a dynamic that is. Dan Rappaport, our guy, he's out there. He's his boots on the ground. Yeah, he's inside the ropes. Speaking of ropes, we got to talk about Bryson D. Chambot. One thing I was going to say is that our saving grace last night, me and Alex, our whole 30-minute Uber back, dude, we came across all these videos of Bryson and the rope.

Our Uber driver must have thought we were getting ready to fuck each other. We were giggling like school children. That's the most insane video of all time. And then we kept seeing it. another angle and he'd be like, look at this angle. And we would just do it. For anyone that doesn't know what the hell we're talking about. They know.

You had to have seen it. Bryce and Deschambeau got absolutely mangled by a rope at a live event. I mean, he claims that it almost blinded him. He, at one point, he gets all caught up in this rope and hits him in the eye, falls down to a knee. And then he's sitting there like, and then grabs, the best part by far is the grabbing of the, of the, of the, from his caddy. Everyone's around him. No one's laughing at this event either. How was no one laughing out loud in the crowd? They're all just standing there like he actually got hurt. And he's on his knee and he just goes, shit. Kid me? Like under his breath? What the fuck is wrong with this guy?

That's just sought this guy on the planet? That really is that he walked into the rope. He was blaming. He was like, how do you have this thing here? Right. He said when he initially gets hit he said that he says, what the fuck guys? What the fuck Bryson, dude? That is a man who is his instantly realizes that he's about to be made fun of forever. and tries his hardest to gain sympathy and appear like it was not his fault that he just ran into a rope and like if anybody else runs into that rope

you just brush it off. It's funny, yeah. He just goes to that rope. It's so funny, but instead Bryson falls down him and he screams, says I can't even see right now. I can't even see right now.

That really is the difference between a guy like Bryson and I guess everybody else on the planet. Because if anybody else sits out there just like, oh man, whoa. And they keep walking. He is on a. Me his processing just like completely combusted. And that was the other is once the rope got him, dude, it looked.

It was almost like this Zapruder film when JFK got shot in the face. I mean, his head goes flying back. His hat comes off. And it was like, he did not, like you didn't get a sniper rifle to the eyeball. You got a rope grazed his face. I actually can't even, I can't even see where he's coming from. That's how bad. I can't even see how that rope could have hurt.

And as somebody else tweeted, I forget, I think it might have been our guide to chair. being like, it's just, you know, we all argue on the behalf of golfers all the time being like, no, no, no, it's like, it's a mental game and it takes real resilience to be a professional golfer. And then a guy gets hit in the face with a rope and drops to a knee. And everybody's like, that's what golfers are on. When he dropped to a knee, I, I actually, I thought it was a fake video. I was like, this has to be a staging or some sort of, uh, uh, dramatic play from live.

I, I couldn't believe he went and he stayed down on a knee. And then people had to come to his aid. They did. They came to his aid. He's just... It's one of the worst videos of all times. I tell you what. You know, let's live and PJ Tour things are going on for so long and guys have jumped over and we've obviously had a ton of discussion about that.

It's in these moments that I miss Bryson. And I guess we still get him because the video comes out and we see it. It's just different. Like if this happened on the PJ Tour, I think it's even bigger than it is happening at Live. But I just like, I miss Bryson sometimes. I miss him being in the mix on the tour that has the most eyeballs. on it, I guess, is what I'm trying to say. You think he thinks that that rope

was maliciously placed against him or something? That's the way he said it. I mean, he's, he, you know, or like the guard that was supposed to lower the rope more, or heighten it? What do you think he thinks? Yeah, I wonder. I think he thinks right now. It's hard to get inside that brain.

Those fucking guys got me with the rope. It's hard to get inside the brain. Who would be the guys that were out for him with the rope? He's just, he'll blame anybody. Anybody. is the most revealing, one of the more revealing clips about it, about anyone as I've ever seen about Bryson. Like that's a guy that just doesn't get it. You know, I think the highest

compliment you can give another person is like, that guy gets it. Yeah. That girl gets it. I think to the other direction, like that person just doesn't get it. He doesn't get it. No. He never has. Like, no, he's just not part of society right there. I got it. Right. Like, I mean, you know, You don't think about this when it happens, but this would probably be the natural reaction of a regular human being. Like a volunteer was probably holding that rope up. They're out there. They're trying to help everybody out.

And the rope just accidentally hit him in the face. So then you're like, oh, no, it's okay. It's just, you know, it got me a little bit, but no big deal. Bryson drops to a knee and is looking for everyone within two miles to come help him. That's insane. When he grabs the top of shit. And you think, like, the reports that we've gotten about Bryson is that. within live, he is as comfortable as he's ever been,

because they allow him to have his people around him, and he's more comfortable, and he can kind of be himself more. So I would have thought these reactions wouldn't happen anymore. Like, if this happened on the PJ tour to him, I can understand that he's stressed. He's like, they don't want me do anything I want to do,

blah, blah, blah, have all these complaints about the tour. I would expect that reaction, but on Liv, I thought he would just be like, oh, no, it's fine. I'm fine out here. It's not. He's just, that's just who he is.

Right. Yeah, no, it's the second that that guy, is not allowed to only put out his North Korean YouTube videos that are just edited to his liking. Right. It's like he is revealed as a non-functioning member of society. Right. You can't. I mean, you just can't react that way to get blindsiding by a fucking gallery rope.

You just can't. I don't know. It's an unbelievable reaction. No person would react like that. No. None. Not one that I know. No.

Brian Baumgartner's on this podcast, by way. Oh, wow. I don't even know if we've said that. We've been really rambling, which is great. which is understandable. But the whole second half of the show is going to be our guy Brian Baumgartner, who's got his new chili book coming out. And I think at the time that this podcast is now out,

he's at a chili contest in Myrtle Beach. In Myrtle Beach. He was in Scranton, Pennsylvania, obviously the whole office bit that he was doing there. Yeah, no, he's one of the best guests that we ever have. And I love talking to him. I mean, I watch him every single night. It was funny to watch him and Danny interact. Yeah.

Brian kept calling him new guy. I know. Like, all right, new guy. Also, Danny was interviewing him like he was fucking a golfer or something. He was like very like asking him like thoughtful deep questions. And he was like, he didn't know it like, Brian didn't know half the answers to what he was saying. He like stumped him on chili. I was like Danny like settled down.

He's also like he's used to when he's coming on the four bullet podcast, Brian, the one of the times that he came on, it was me and you, Frankie in the way room. And we were like, ah, hey Brian. Like Danny asked him like, what is chili? It was very like deep. How do you define Chile? How do you define Chile? Brian's like, Jesus, Nuka, I don't fucking know. I mean, it's like it's fucking chili.

Meat and beans. To be fair, I think you gotta have that one ready. I think you got to. But there's like a million different versions, right? Of chili. There's got to be a basis of what it is, right? Like then otherwise it's chaos. Like what's tomato soup?

What's chicken noodle soup? You got to have certain definition to it. True. It was a fun combo. It was. I love Brian. And I do like the new dichotomy of Dan and the mix on those anyways, because he does come at him from a significantly more.

Completely different. He still comes out a little bit like it's a problem. Cross coffees. Big time. Which I like. It's a different. Do you think everything has a plain definition? Like what is pizza? Like at a very... Don't you think at a basis level there's got to be... Otherwise, it's chaos. Otherwise, then this...

You couldn't just describe it. Couldn't you need somebody else? Someone says like, no, I'm saying... This microphone's pizza. Pizza. That hat's pizza. All right, but, um, so would you say... Alex's shirt is pizza. Would you say that is... That thing is worse than pizza. Doe, sauce and cheese? That's a single piece of pizza. That's as bad as that. I would throw that to you. You know way more about...

I'm asking you. I would say that is... Yeah, you need dough. sauce and cheese. Yeah. So what happens when there's like an insolata pizza or like a pizza? Now I knew you were going to do that.

I knew you were going to turn that on me. Let me ask you this though. My brother's vegan guy. Why'd you answer that way? He gets, because I was trying to make, I was trying to give you a back and forth on the podcast. He gets pizza with no cheese.

Is that not correct? I think it's incorrect. But I'm just saying, don't you like, don't you agree that there should be a definition of pizza? Yeah, but I think there's not. I think like it's pretty fluid.

Just like what Brian was saying. I don't know if there's like a definition of chili. There's like a billion different. versions of it. But I said this during the interview, I think it's like they said in Congress, I think at one time. It's like pornography. Like you can't really define it, but you know it when you see it.

Right. Yeah. You know what it is. Right. Yeah. That's a great answer. That's one that he should have had in the chamber. What do you, I don't understand.

Well, because when they were debating a bunch of different laws and pornography laws and such and they'd be like, well, what's like if you just do a video of you make like a sex tape with your partner or how are you going to then criminalize that act or deem that that's not legal and this. see and they were trying to like define the famous quote is like it's you know pornography you can't really define it but you know it when you see it and I think you could apply that to chili your pizza you could literally present chili to someone and somebody if it was this desk and you're like here's my chili that I made they'd be like that's

I just like I just the other day I had a quote unquote pizza now I may not agree with that definition but it was underneath the pizza category on this menu and it was just dough olive oil and like a little bit of like mozzarella it was like a it was basically like bread with cheese on it, but they considered that a pizza. It came in a circle. It had eight slices on it. It had a little bit of like garlic shavings on it. It had no red sauce or anywhere to be found.

So like is that categorized under your pizza category? I don't think white. I don't think red sauce has to be it. And I don't have a good answer to this. I guess it is, you know it when you see it. I like that. That desk right there is not pizza. We all agree at that, right?

I agree with that. And I don't know that there's anyone on earth that have you presented this, this table would be like, yeah. And I think you can. brison i think if you presented this to bryson he'd be like that's a good looking pizza i think you present that pizza had the other day and a lot of people say that's not pizza you know what i mean but i'm sure the owner of that place i don't want to get into the weeds on what's pizza and what's not pizza i think you know when you see it i just know that if we're going to be living in a society certain things have to be defined in certain ways i think chili's one of them i think pizza's one of them

i would argue everything is one of these things yeah i agree that's not pizza that's not pizza that's too hard um all right we got max homa friend of the program. What a win. Defeated us in a scramble. This was tough. We were flying, trying to follow this as it finished the way I understand it. He's in a battle with Danny Willett down the stretch.

Who, Danny Willett's back all of a sudden. Yeah. I didn't know he was just back. Stunner to see him. Saw it hit finish in sixth. Yep. And Ricky. And Ricky Fowler.

Immediately after your breakup. How do you feel about that offended? Best golf he's played in years? I saw that he was playing well. I got to be honest, I was bummed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you're... It's like when a team fires a coach and then they just go out and win the next game.

Everyone's like, holy shit. I do think it's just a change of scenery thing. Totally. You know what I mean? People have that in professional sports all the time. A guy just he hates where he's at. I'm not saying Ricky feels his way or he's just like, I need a change. All I need is a change.

And that's what's going to do it. And I think that's what did it with Ricky. Do you think John Tiller in his heart of hearts was hoping Ricky Fowler didn't play great this weekend? I'm not going to answer for my guy, John. I'm going to let him, if he wants to answer that question, he can speak for himself. Was Trent rooting against Ricky Fowler? was. I think it's an understandable human reaction.

Yeah. And I, if I had to venture a guess of what John Tillery feels, again, I have not talking about this. Such a nice guy. He probably wouldn't care. He probably is. He really is. I'm excited to see him. We're going to see him with the President's Cup. Yeah. There's some people that like I am very, I'm like

that where I want to look, yeah, I like to look at all the negative side of everything. I have a buddy whose dad is, he's very funny. Whenever, whenever the Mets make a trade or like don't go after a person, and he becomes obsessed with the person that the Mets trade away more than the person that they acquired. And he goes and looks in the newspaper and all the websites and he keeps track of exactly what that person that they did, what they're doing compared to the person that they traded for.

It's a very funny way to look at like an acquisition on your team of like looking at what you could have had and what you lost that on. Yeah. So like I don't think JT's like that. I don't think he's looking at Ricky Fowler and he's not going to be keeping stats on like how much better he was without him. I don't think he's that kind of guy. No, I don't think so either. I actually think There are people like that

Yeah, I think Majority of people I think are like that I would, I would want Like if I were him I would most likely want Ricky to not play Gras. Or at least a little bit Yeah, it's impossible Validation on your own work.

It's impossible not to feel that A little bit I would imagine. Because he's saying that if Ricky is now Better without me Then I am not as good of a coach for him It's literally like Blackwell right I mean maybe they just weren't a fit

Plainzum and it's not like Ricky was Tilly only guy so it's like oh man right it's like kids are successful sceptraka successful all these guys are successful i would i would say that it takes a pretty uh particular type of human to not be reading against rickie and i think tilly might be that kind of person he might be he might be one all this weird with coaches i mean these guys are always on every range they're talking to a million different pros it's not like you have one guy it's not like a baseball team you have your hitting coach and your manager it's like ricky fowler probably talked to a million people about a swing

throughout the whole entire year it's not just john tillary that way That's interesting. I wonder, do baseball players hire, like, outside people to look at their swing? So here, I was just to say, J.T. Comfer, who we played with yesterday in Colorado. Colorado, I blanche guys. This guy's just trimming hedges, by the way, where I sat the window. Can you hear that? That's a golf sound. It's a little bit of golf sound, though. Whether it's a new set of clubs, sweatshirt from the pro shop, or even a drink at the term, whatever you're buying.

And he is a basically I would describe it as like a specific analytical hockey skills coach. almost applying like money ball to a degree. Yeah.

But more on like the skills front, less on like the managing the team front. Two hockey players who works with Patrick Kane and Jonathan Taze and all those guys. And he had done a good amount of work over the years with JT, who we played with yesterday. So we were actually talking a good amount about that. And it's fascinating talking about the applying that type of analytics to hockey. Because in golf, it seems very simple. But even we were marveling last week at how nuts it is that decade golf and all. that has come along and people have found new ways to apply data to understanding course

management. Like, how have they not 120 years ago just like figured out how to manage it off course? Right. How do you how is it like that revolutionarily different? And so we were talking JT and I yesterday about that for hockey. And the answer is yes, guys in hockey now will hire skills coaches that work pretty specifically with them. And it becomes a little bit different for the team like the Blackhawks now and over the years,

I don't know exactly where they're at now, but have done deals as like a team with my guy, Brian, to be the skills coach for the team because he had gotten so tight with like Caner and Taze. Feels a little bit like TB12. Yeah, right. All these teams have these amazing skill coaches based off of different types of things.

I have a buddy Bernie Caselli, he was the Islander skills coach, but he's worked on specific things with guys, whether it be the power play or like adding it on the rush. Like that was his specialty. He would work like you're saying with guys, one off like during the off season and the islanders just had him on and that's like it's it's amazing how many different coaches you can have for different things i wonder if like iron judge has like a power guy

that just works on like hitting up on the ball and stuff yeah i mean specifically that guy it's crazy like they'll do like a whole fucking summer basically on you know he he and this again my boy brian and uh jeremy moore and is another good friend of mine who worked this camp together prodigy hockey they do a bunch of camps for like kids and stuff and then they also work with n-h-h-o guys and they'll literally look at the analytics of like, okay, X percentage of goals are scored from the left side of this hash mark versus goals scored shots from the right part of this hash mark, go in, you know, score significantly less percentage. So they'll do an entire summer about like when you cut out of the corner, make sure you cut to the left and make sure you cut hard and early because that extra

couple feet to the left of like this hash mark, if you can shoot, you know, if you get 100 shots on net a year or whatever the hell it is. And you can shoot, you know, 40% more of them over here. You'll score six more goals throughout the whole year. And that's because we need to perfect this skill of instead, you're not being able to accomplish like getting over just a little bit further from the defenseman stick. And being on this side, this is where X percentages of the goals from the offensive zone are scored. And being just over here on this side when your shot comes from, you're this percentage less likely to score. And that over 82 games, and over your contract and how many, you know, how many dollars you can demand based on being

a certain number of goals score a year. This is going to affect you over 15 year career by X amount of dollars. So it sounds like analytics are making their way into hockey. Big time. I mean, they've done it in baseball, NBA to a degree. And it's, I don't know about football, but it seems like analytics at some point always grab a sport. And then there's going to be a backlash to it where it's feel.

Yeah. And these guys are on the forefront of it. So it was fun talking about it yesterday. Because you've done a bunch of stuff with them. And it's amazing, like what you find out about your game that you never realized was a weakness. And in one summer, they'll just work their dicks off on a specific skill because they're like, this is where you're deficient. And if you can really capitalize on this, it'll literally lead to X amount more goals and it pretty much always does. It's amazing. That's cool.

Think about how far they go like Brockos to Dr. Schmoe in Minnesota. Yep. He recalibrates his eyes. Yep. And just like slows the game down because he's recalibrating his brain and he puts them in all these, what is it like the gyro spinning thing? The gyro stem. gyrostim basically you're flipping around and looking at all these targets and you have to point the laser at the targets as you're getting flipped around and like you're at the six flights

you're like an actor not thing where they're spinning you around you have to land the fucking plane it's crazy land the space yeah these guys are looking for whatever edge they can get it worked dude he said like things just kind of got like more solid for me I mean he had his best year last year didn't he

yeah Brock had his best year last year he's just like seeing the ice better like things are just opening it up he feels like yeah it's amazing it's amazing I mean, they're also the highest. Dude, it's razor thin how different everybody is. You've got to find that little thing that does it, whether it's analytics or a guy like Schmo or, you know, sleeping on your head or whatever these guys do to get better. It was just an outrageous example, Alex.

That's all that was. Who sleeps on their head? I was just saying, like, anything that, you know, anything that can give you an edge. Anybody wears that shirt you should sleep on their head. I know, I can't stop looking at that shirt. Alex, do you snore? Yeah. I know.

I don't, when people ask me that. I have a similar answer because I don't know. You don't know. You're asleep. I actually think I need to get tested for sleep apnea is what I need to do. Brain cells are dying. My whole, yeah, my brain's fucked right now. We have a buddy Mike that his brain cells have just been dying. He just, when you see him sleep, he just goes, that's how he sleeps all night.

I, and the thing is, you're not getting any oxygen. You're not getting any oxygen. Dude. Zero oxygen. Dude. It's crazy. I got to show you a video of this. No, but I actually, I'm scared to watch a video because I think that's how I am.

My dad has sleep apnea? You're loud. loud. Dude, it's bad and my brain is my brain has been bad for like a year. We did look up, remember that what time we looked up your whoop stats and it was like you had like 37 disturbances in there? Then they went down though, right? No, you don't know. As much as they should have. Um, I need to. I actually got referred to a, I got to go see like a sleep apnea person. You're going to put on one of those masks? Dude, I'll do whatever. I'll, I'll sleep on my head. What kind of mask? What do they put on? Well, you go for like this test where basically they just

hook you up and you're in a tube and you go to sleep for a whole night. Yeah. You stay there all night. You have to do a sleep test. My dad, who does have sleep apnea, he has to travel. He doesn't travel a ton, but you wear the mask every time he sleep. Wow. And you just, you hook it up and it sits on your face. And that's how he has to sleep. Because you can, sleep apnea can seriously fuck you up.

Mike Brabiglia, the comedian. He's got a whole, he's got a big sleep problem. But he sleeps in basically a sleeping bag with his arms in like tight sleeves. They pretty much put him in a, um, what is one of these? Straight jacket. Straight jacket. Yeah, like legit. Yeah, like legit.

He's got a story. Is he waking up and murder? someone? Dude, it's worse than that. Well, no. What? What could be worse than that? There's a movie. Sleepwalk with me. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. It's not worse than murder. I'll take that back. I'm going to walk that back. But he legit, Talas, one of his stand-up routines, and yeah, in the movie,

he in a hotel room, I was on the road one time, walked out of the second story window of his hotel room. Yeah. Holy shit. They woke up on the fucking, on the sidewalk with glass all around. They put a plaque in the hotel. This is where Mike Brubiglia walked in. He's got like he. Yeah, they have to legitimately put him in a specialized sleeping, basically straightjacket so he doesn't like get up and go do crazy shit.

Remember Lurch told that story about him getting in a stranger's car? Lurch had a bad, a bad sleep. Well, that's walking stuff. He got a stranger's car. Dude, he fell asleep in this house. It was like a lake house or something. Yeah. Woke up in the middle of his, he slipped,

slept walk, walked outside and like hitchhiked a car and got in the car. guy's car and the guy figured out how to get him back home this is a i believe this is alcohol induced yes it was it was but he was yeah he was like running down the road and the cat tax and like underwear and the underwear was like what are you doing and he's like huh and the guy eventually i think lurch blacked in in the cab and was like i don't know how much wake up oh oh no in the back of the car what the fuck um but yeah mike ribigli has got and it turns out he tells a story does an amazing job in him one of his routines that i've seen he's one of the funniest people are seen but he did uh he learned like he had to actually he has to like not eat within like two hours

of going to sleep and he has to like not be on his phone within 60 minutes of going to sleep Jesus because his somebody tranquilized this guy have you watched any mark for bigalia no watch um shoot at dart and everybody out there if you like stand up maybe you've seen it but uh thank god for jokes it's a great stander okay he's unbelievably funny i saw his he did a one-man show um i saw it too in new york yeah i went me and robbie fox went and it was great really good he He's really, really good. Yeah, he's, you can't really follow him on Twitter because he's gotten super, I think Trump, Trump broke his brain, one of those guys. That happens to those some guys.

So he's almost unfollowable on Twitter, but because he just gets super political about everything. Yeah. But I've seen him twice, I think, in person. And he is hilarious. So good. And he's clean. Oh, I know this guy. He's a clean comedian.

And he's, um, he's not even really like a, I guess like a punchline joke guy. He's like a story guy. He tells a story for like an hour. Yep. And he's unbelievable. unbelievably funny. I recommend. I might watch thank God for jokes. Tonight for Biglia. He's great. But anyways, he's got the sleep issue.

It's not as severe as it sounds like this. But he does have to sleep, I think. Literally in a sleep. They got to lock him up. Dude, it's like a straight jacket sleeping bag combo. That's tough. And he's married. He's got like he's, lives a pretty normal life except, you know, when the ice loves. Another slice of prospective pie from Frankie that I get to just sleep at night. I want to be straightened down to my bed. But Max Homa, what a win.

Max Homa, fifth win, which is. a stunning number. It's got five PJ Tor win. This is probably one of the more shocking endings to a golf tournament I've ever seen in my entire life. Never see this. So Max, they're coming down 18. How long are they

trimming those hedges out there is my question. Can we get some eyes on this guy? Are these the longest hedges of all time? I also think it's, we have to be, we have to find landscape work that's loud being done near where we decide to do the podcast more than any

other podcast. 100%. I have to imagine, too, though, when it's been going on for this long and we have not addressed it a ton, it just becomes white noise. True. That would be my guess. It's going in and out?

I feel like it's been going pretty consistently. Maybe we get that guy just a clean cut. Get him on the show. Real quick. How long are you're going to cut these fucking hedges, buddy? Max and Danny Willett are the, you know, it's two-man race down in the stretch. They're both up near the green and two. Max and I think a green side bunker, but he's in a weird spot.

D60 yards out, leaves it short of the green. Danny Willitt's got about a 60 yard little flip wedge, hits it to four feet. Max then holds out for birdie. Yeah. He's a defending champ. Holes out for birdie. Big fist bump goes nuts. Him and Joe, who's awesome.

Play a bunch of golf in Scottsdale with him and scatty. Awesome. They go nuts. Joe's a golf nut too. He actually missed the PGA championship last year when Bones caddied for Homa because Joe qualified for the USGA four ball at Chambers Bay. So he's a golf nutty. He also played in the part three competition.

I don't remember where that was. He's a Pulsar. He's a stick. He's like a plus three. Yeah, he's also. He's awesome. He's awesome. So him and Joe go nuts.

And then Danny Will it has four or five feet maybe. Yeah. Four? Probably four to five feet. For Bertie after an amazing shot to win the tournament. No problem. Hits it four feet by. Problem.

Misses that. Big problem. He loses the tourney. shocking, shocking finish. Handled it well, extremely well. He said, we live to find another day. He was really, that's golf. I would say gracious in his press conference

and handled the whole thing extremely well. Really awkward to watch. The clip is awkward. Like, even I don't know that Max wants him to miss the puck. Right, because, and you see Max and he handled the right way where he's not celebrating. He's not like, yeah, that's my fifth win. This is amazing. He was just like, oh, and shook Danny.

its hand and was that that was kind of it. Which is a weird dynamic in golf because that happens a lot where the person doesn't necessarily hit the shot to win. They're already in the hole and it's up to the other person to try to like catch them or succeed. Right. Like when DJ misses the pot against the four footer at Chambers Bay and Speed ends up winning from a three jacks.

It's awkward. It's like that guy just, that just made another person's biggest moment of their career and that person has to be subdued. That's weird. That is a strange dynamic. Yeah. be like if you you know if you came in on a on a penalty like if somebody makes a defensive stand or something to win the Super Bowl and your team was like this is awkward we can't celebrate for a couple

minutes like that'd be it's not true that you didn't earn it you put yourself in a position to win it's just for some reason it feels like I mean they did fumble it away so that it feels like it feels like a weird thing to celebrate yeah I remember when um rock Omediate missed that par put in the 91st hole in the playoff and they immediately cut the tiger and stevie williams at the time are like going nuts and you're like you're you're you are seemingly celebrating someone else's failure yeah you are and you don't want to look that way i don't i think i think the natural reaction is just like wow not like woohoo wow you definitely celebrate chipped in on the 18th hole and he but he celebrated that i know he won the tournament it's not like you fucking got a hand to him i know

you can say that Danny Willett three putt and that's a fumble but I'd be fucking I'd be I'd be rip my shirt off and chest bump and my caddy like great I mean we just won the turn of no he is but it be you don't think it'd be it's a little classless if like the second that Danny Willard's putt lipped out you just heard Max be like yeah I was like yeah that is right I guess so like I don't think that I would say that that's a bad thing had he done that though he just won the turn no I agree yeah I don't think it would be either. I agree. Imagine we got mad. Imagine like then it's like everything we just said against when we were saying how everyone's just lovey-dovey at live last week or two weeks ago when

DJ won that. Everyone was fucking high-fiving and hugging on the greens. We were like, we love the PJ tour because it's cutthroat and they it matters and it means something. And now we're like, ah, you probably shouldn't celebrate because you three putt and it's all about tucking in your shirt and talking to talk like a munchkin. I don't know. It's kind of like. You did turn to a munchkin. Because that's just kind of how we talk about like PG tour sometimes. It's like, you know, tuck in your shirt and fucking wear a hat. They do that on a live too. yeah they can wear shorts though true is that that's a big factor

can't duck under ropes though can't go on to the right you might get I'm just saying it was against everything we said last I just know cut throat the PJ toy just know that like it just feels like my natural reaction would be just be like all right that was pretty fucking crazy I'm not gonna like you know I just don't want it to act

like Max Lama didn't win that tournament he definitely won it he chipped in that was a big moment no he did yeah for sure he did he threw a massive fist pump yeah I would think if you look at like when Kisner missed his pot on the 18th hole against us in the scramble, I don't think we instantly went nuts. I think we were kind of like a little bit subdued and then you wait after the handshakes

and then you kind of go crazy. Just because it's, you know, it's like, I'm trying to remember. I think I fucking like punched somebody when he did it. I remember being particularly nervous at that juncture because it was our first four minutes scramble and you like, there's always a weird thing of these four men scrambles where clearly it's a weird system

because we have four guys doing it. They have one. and this is their job. And this is something they take a lot of pride in that they've worked very hard. And you don't want to like, that's actually a really good example because you don't want to feel like a dick

because we got four guys hitting shots. You got one. And this is what they do for a living. I don't know how to explain it. But you just feel like, you almost feel bad because you shouldn't celebrate because we got four. I don't know.

I know what you mean. I agree with you. During the match, so you have no problem doing it. Like when he missed a put putt. And then like we would win it. We'd like go crazy when he missed a put. be like, we're one-up boys running up to the cart.

Something about the finality of it. I guess so. True. It shouldn't do that way. I don't know why it would be different, but it is. It's just my like on 17, we're going crazy that we were like, you know what I mean? All square, one-up, whatever it was, because he misses a putt. But it would be, like, imagine Will it missed a putt on 16 to go one stroke down and Max's like, yeah. Yeah. Well, they don't do it. You're on the same level. Yeah, I guess there is something. It's weird. I don't know why that is, yeah. But yet if you score. Max would lose at any moment because, well, it's just as good. They're all the same skill. Right. But it is weird. But it is weird.

like if you score a touchdown to go up in the third quarter, you go nuts. Nuts. You know? I mean, team sports, like if you, if you win on defense,

it's just as impressive as what you happen. That's a good point. It's different because you don't really play defense in golf. You're playing a golf course. Yeah. Yeah, it's weird. I don't know.

That's like the only version of defense in golf is what Max Homer experienced. He chipped in. He forced Danny Willett to have to two put and Danny Willett and he lost. So like the course, like basically Max Homa put the course as his defense where he's like, all right, let's see if this whole whole whole. up.

Yeah. And he made it a lot harder when he chipped in. It's so much harder. When he chipped in, obviously the number gets harder to beat, but also like the momentum. It's like everybody just went nuts. Now you're going to ruin that, Danny Willett. Good luck. He turned that five foot into a 10 footer mentally.

Yeah. Yeah. Good for Max. Very good for Max. He arrived at, I think, at 2 a.m. And Captain Davis Love, the third was out there and helped him move his bags into the hotel of the President's Cup. Max was the only player on the U.S. team to play in the Fortnite, okay the Fortnite championship.

and which I imagine because he won it last year he's a vending champion and he wins the fucking tournament so that's pretty badass unbelievable truly unbelievable I saw rap report

tweeted that like Kiz was like asked for a cart today I did see that I saw he said he asked for a cart and then Zach Johnson one of the assistant captain said no to my guy

he said no to him said no he's like you're not wearing the right hat or the right belt I'm no it's my guy we'll be there I can't wait

I can't wait to see everybody I pulled up some Barcelona sports book odds there we go it's gotta be looking tough for the international team I think they're so bad

I couldn't even find actual just like odds to win I think it's just a foregone conclusion that the USA is going to win I saw early in the week was it like minus 700 for it's got to be worse than that

I would say but I did pull up a couple fun ones that I thought because if you mean minus 700 is for the bird Right. Even if that's what it actually is. So someone tweet that it was equivalent to like a 20 point favorite in football. Okay.

I think that's fair. It probably should be more. It probably should be more. The international team still has some players. They still got arms and legs. Problem is it's, you've got to be deep. So the most popular ones I saw, correct score is fun to try to guess. That's cool.

Okay. So USA winning 17 and a half to 12 and a half, for example, is plus 800. So that'd be a fun one to try to get, because I think you'll be within a point or two coming down the stretch, like most likely you have a good chance but like 8 to 1. And then I saw a whole one one in the tournament is plus 550. Oh, I'm going to do that for sure. So that'd be a fun one. I'm going to do that.

And then I saw USA whole on 1 plus 800. I might sprinkle a little bit on both. I know. I think those are kind of some good ones. I could see a USA ACE for sure. Yeah. And I feel like in this more so than a major championship, they do do on a few par 3s. They move and tease up so that guys can have

a run at it and make birdies and have it be you know it's a team event it's not it's not it's not as cutthroat as a as a major championship obviously um and then i was speaking with westy at um penn national gaming uh and entertainment who's going to i think we're going to do a uh a morikawa or homa to be the top overall point score exclusive kind of four play bet on the barcel sports bag i like that a lot once we get that puppy live we'll obviously put it all over social don't have the we're working on grinding out the official odds for that but keep your eyes peeled for that because we're going to try to get a special bet

with one of our guys going. I like it. But then I saw a top point score is another one that's kind of fun to get after. That's not, you know, doesn't suffer you to a minus 700 situation. But on the Barstall sports book right now, Patrick Cantlay is the favorite at plus 550.

No hat pat? Does he give me no hat pat this week? Got to think he's got to be, right? You got to. Or does he say that for the writer? Maybe. Is he engaged now I saw it last week? Oh, really?

Or something you got maybe a gage. Congrats to Patrick Cantor. Day one winner USA is minus 250. Say that again? Just to lead after day one, USA. Plus 250? Minus 250. Oh, that's not a bad one.

No, I mean, like, you're only getting international at plus 335. Like, they're not thinking it's going to be that much of a... Yeah, it might take an international because I mean, fucking plus three. Just a win at the first day. It's just one session. It's just one session. It's got to win. They've got to be up two and a half to one and a half.

Right. Yeah. They just win a couple matches and you just win. Yeah. Even if they get fucking steamrolled the whole rest of the week. I saw Scottie Sheffler. Scott's a good golfer. He is?

Good goal. Very good. Good picture taker on the Swoken Bridge. That's right. Scotty Shephler's plus 600. Zander plus 650. JT. plus 650. Burns plus 900.

Spath plus 900. Our squad is insane. Just hearing those names. Horshiel is like the worst odds and he's plus 1,800. Max, almost 4,400 to be the top point. score right now and that's probably going to even get better for you when you get the varsal sports book uh booster going so so there's some good there's some fun stuff even if you're realized the u.s is just going to blow them out most likely yeah i like those like a hole in one

bets yeah a hole in one bet it'll be a fun one uh but president's come quail hollow charlotte charlotte's a hotbed for us sneaky i mean this event we're doing on wednesday the queen city classic sold out in like four seconds and there's over 300 people on the wait list i think i saw yeah that was that was a stunner but i'm excited to get to Charlotte. I like Charlotte a lot. It's kind of a loud area we ended up in here. Yeah, we need some WD40 on that door. Can you hear that door in there?

No? This is my squeaky door. That's a very squeaky door. This is where me and you heard that joke about the plunger that one time. Yeah. Which we cannot remember how it's told. And we couldn't do it now because it's ruined. Yeah, it's ruined now. But it was right here.

Sitting on a plunger. Yeah. Is that right? It was amazing. Frankie got got got so good by the bartender. Basically the bartender, like, it's definitely, you definitely had to be their moment. You were cackling. You love a good joke.

Yeah, he makes you, like, say something. He makes you finish the joke. And it's set up that way. What is that thing called? The plunger? Oh, yeah. So he's like, oh, you've been there. Yeah.

This is a really good joke when you're with that. Fuck. I'm sure the people listening right now are like, this is a great joke. I actually think I know this one, but I don't know exactly how to tell it either. Because you got it. You got it. The place went crazy. Crazy.

I was like, ah, you got me. Fuck. And I came around the podcast. I think I told it that next day. I'm excited to go to Charlotte. Charlotte's going to be awesome. Charlotte. We're going to be there.

we're going to get, so the Thursday show that comes out will be pretty deep President's Cup. We're going to try to get some guess. We're going to hear all about DRAP being out there on site. We're going to have been on site for a full day by the time the next show comes out. So we're going to be pretty deep into the President's Cup. We've got the two scrambles coming out before hockey season. Hopefully we got Scotland travel series is rolling along. We got Trent, Breaking 90.

Yeah, we're going to, breaking 90. We're traveling a ton. I know we talked about a lot. And now we've got our editing team on these four-man scrambles. and those things are a bear. When we've got eight guys as opposed to four verse one, I can just see the look on Brendan's face when we talk about it, and I'm sure Alex is the same way.

It's just a lot because they've got to listen to every single mic track for six hours. They got to cut it all up. Their videos are going to be great when they come out. It's just we got so much going on, breaking 90 travel series that breaking 90, I'm not sure. We still got to film another one. We've got so many videos coming out.

It's insane. Compare our output right now to any other golf podcast or brand out there that's trying to do what we're trying to do. It's insane how many videos we're actually putting out. All these other brands will put out like nine minute clips. They'll like space out day longs of videos and they'll still take a video and they'll put out nine minutes of it. And then they'll take that same video and put out the next nine minutes of it the next week.

We're asking Alex and Jake and all these guys and Brendan to fucking to put out a two-hour video, the full thing. And with every week. And these are on rush because we're trying to get them out before. Oh my God. it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's in it's even speak about how much work it is I can't even I know that other brands that have talked to like Brendan like the guys behind the scenes of other brands have talked to Brendan being like how are you guys

like how are you guys? You know what I mean? Yeah. It's like you would need all of barstile editing team to do what we're doing and they got like four or five guys so it's fucking insane but um that's why some of the things are going to take a little time right. What I'm trying to say is that we're not sure when the next breaking 90 is going to We'll try and squeeze one in, but again, that's like a full week of editing once they get it done. Yeah. We've filmed one, so it's fucking nuts. We got Connecticut next week.

We got the final Barstool Classic of the entire year. Yep. And then we got Big Cedar the following week. I've got Ocean's Calling coming up. Between that, playing in a festival and playing the drums. Holy cow. With OAR and then Alonis Morissette and Womeneers, Dave Matthew, Sublime. I mean, the list goes on and on.

It's fucking crazy. So that'll be fun. I got that leading right into. to um big cedar big cedar very excited for big cedar that'll be fun i was looking at some google images last night that place is nuts i'm very excited for you guys to see big cedar it's awesome it's unlike anywhere else really in the country it's in the ozarks it's great so we're going to have that and then after that we got a couple weeks um and then we're going to be filming a bunch of videos and then i would say after that after tailor made media day you're saying yeah we got a few weeks

or a few months where i think our guys get to catch up i think i got October 10th is a day that we can kind of relax. Is that what is? Or October 7th? Well, our trip ends, October 7th. Okay. Because I told my family I'll be home then. Totally.

But I'm saying... Coming home. I'm talking about the editors. Yeah, yeah. Then a few weeks later, we film a bunch more videos to our media day. And then after that... Neither are you guys are stopping ever. And then after that, we got several months, I think, where they'll be able to catch up.

Less new news stuff. I want to be greeted like a sailor coming home. I want to wave my hat, like Sergio Garcia in the 2017 Masters. Trent, did I see you drinking some biolite earlier today? I was. I've actually had two biolites already today because we've talked a lot about the travel that we've been going through. And the one thing I always forget to do when I'm traveling is drink enough water. So when I got to the golf course this morning, I pounded two biolites and I instantly felt better. It is. It really is.

It really is. Sports drinks. That's what I've had today. Six and a half for each bottle. It's equivalent to. That's amazing. It tastes really good. Berry.

Barry is my favorite flavor. Every flavor is really growing on me. I don't know if it's something like you just got like once you drink the first one, you're like, oh, that's pretty interesting. It's just, it just makes you obviously hydrated and you just get through it. And then you just, I become like addicted to the taste or something about every time I'm around a biolite now, I have to drink when I had two today. And I'm just, yeah, I'm a biolite freak fan now. I have them stocked in my refrigerator. That's all I drink when I wake up.

There's a good feeling about knowing you're getting like a leg up on hydration in the morning. Right. Like you're just taking a cheat code. You're now just hydrated. I'm obsessive by the light. I'm also watching this, the queen stuff over there, Queen Elizabeth.

Yeah, rest of peace. I heard a lot of stuff. You know, I think we, she was dehydrated? We, no. I think we under, we underplayed the queen from what I'm,

from the messages I've been getting. Big time. People in England were reaching out being like, you don't understand how offensive that segment was. They're like, I still like the show.

I hope that they liked what I said about. Ignorant Americans, I think they probably did. My mom said to me, my mom said to me, she was like, she was like, the fact that you thought me that it was peculiar or not just unbelievably obvious that they would

stop the golf play because the queen died she's like the queen died like they stop everything like the cars stop driving down the road the queen died so i was a little bit wrong about that so i can admit that but what i'm right about is biolite how good that's so good it's a good stuff biolite is now that's very big of you to admit that by the way yeah entire nation i will not be admitting that you won't no that's so disrespectful well i buried in an ad read so I mean, I, you know, so disrespectful. It was disrespectful. I apologize.

I wasn't, I would say disrespectful was ignorant. I was a little disrespectful. You stand by it? Yeah. I was probably a little disrespectful too. I stand by the disrespectfulness, but I would like to admit that I understand it was ignorant. Okay. I stand by biolite and I always will.

Me too. Biolite now available to purchase directly on their website. Go to drink biolite.com slash bars. You use the code for Play for 10% off your first order. Get hydrated. 10% off code for play drink biolite.com slash barstool um i got something to talk about okay china discovered a new type of moon crystal that might lead to limitless energy have you guys seen this i've seen something about i saw a headline helium three is on the moon basically it's

this type of element that they think if they can take back it's on the moon work on it's on the moon we've known about it i think for like 20 years but china finally has had the capability of figuring out how to turn it into limitless energy. What are the chances this actually happens, though? I think it's pretty high, man. Changaset Y, China crystal moon mineral, it has been explained and can be limitless. Nuclear fusion fuel.

Like Brad the Cooper? Good movie. It's crazy, man. It's crazy what's going on out there. Never saw it. It's crazy what's going on out there. Yeah, it's another one of those things we talked about this in the car the other day where I just saw that headline.

by my timeline and he was like wow I just kept moving how do we not take more like how is that not more important than it really is you know what I mean because I don't think it's it's not be you're not going to be able to put it in a practice like tomorrow we're not going to be like hey we got unlimited energy I know but in

in a movie if that if there was a scene where everyone was in Times Square you would think that across the flashing billboards it'd be like China discovers new mineral for limitless energy and the people People would be going crazy.

But instead, we read on Twitter and we're like, bah, Max Homer shouldn't celebrate a win. You know what I mean? It's like, Muchkin, frankly. I just think that if it's not able to put into practice immediately, we're in an instant gratification culture now, where if it's not going to affect me.

You want your phone and never lose battery, like right now. You know what I mean? Like shit like that. Right. You want instant results. Right. Like if it's not, if I'm not going to be able to,

if my car is, if I'm not going to ever pay for gas again, starting tomorrow, I'm in. Yeah. But if I don't see it go into effect until, what is it going to be like 10 years, don't care. You won't have to because you have a Chevy now. True.

Electric vehicles. Right. You don't worry about all that shit anymore. That's right. Yeah. That's only going to get better. Stuff like this is going to make it better. Finding different renewable energy sources, pumping out these batteries.

Chevy's the way of the future, man. But yeah, it's just crazy where this world's going to. I just think things are happening. And we're just, you know, like big things are happening. I think countries are making moves We're going to space now We're like There's no monoculture anymore

I just think big things are happening I don't know I've just been I just We did do a whole deal Like a couple weeks ago About how we just looked up Random years And big things happen

And big things are gonna happen In the next like 10 to 20 years I think things are starting to shift You know what we just had a pandemic I know But I think like you know It really gets to me And you obviously see it with like

Russia and Ukraine And all in the war that's happening over there Like I think these big leaders aren't going to, like, go away before they do something crazy. You know what I mean? You ever think about that? Yeah. When you're just like the leader and you're like a dictator of something, you're like,

I want to do something in my lifetime, not for like the next guy. So I think like all these countries, I think shit's going to get wild. He's somebody going to nuke somebody every time? Yeah, I just like, and then what happens if that happens? What happens when they send the first one? Well, I think there's a very legitimate concern that like Kim Jong-un is just eventually loses his mind and is like, 100%, dude.

I'm going out. I think he's just going to start firing these things. day without doing it? No way. But then you got a thing. We have to have pretty good anti-nuke capability. Yeah, but I don't know, man. I was reading up this thing. These supersonic nukes, they can't track them. They're super sonic. That's bad news. Yeah.

That's why I'd rather be in Arizona than New York. We can't track these things, Trent, because just another factor. Like the regular ballistic missiles, they have an arc and they go to a certain height and they land a certain level because you get intercept it. These things are fucking crazy supersonic. If you're Putin,

like, and you're going to nuke USA, where's the most likely place you're going to nuke you think it would be like sorry to say this i think it'd be out west honestly isn't that like easier for him think so like seattle or something like that i don't know well i don't know if they would even go after a city because that seems like not strategic that's just mean that's like a terrorist would do true i was just thinking geogyn geography work if it would go that way definitely that's probably true but i feel like then i don't know how good these supersonic things you're good man that's crazy i was more thinking like something's going to happen then we're going to have to get involved again? Like what's going

like, what if Putin's like, you know what? We're losing too many fucking soldiers over there. I'm just going to nuke Ukraine tomorrow. What happens then? Is the world like over now? Do we all just, is it is there no going back from that? I think that's one of the great fears of all the time. Because if we just nuke them back, well then what do we really accomplish?

There's just things that I think about every day. We're out here golfing. We're out here golfing. It's like, probably a sure destruction. Yeah. That's kind of what keeps everybody in check. Yeah. Do they care though? you hope that they do yeah isn't that crazy i mean they have to because then it's over right if you well there's that's why there's like always been an argument for certain amount of military

aggression by us is required to keep the world safe right of like you have let you know you can't let like uh you couldn't let osama bin laden become like the emperor of like iraq in theory right because like that guy will just take a nuke in new york new york city right so it's like there is a right right right right example but you know I mean no I know I'm like totally so therefore how do you stop that from happening we need to fucking have we better have our troops over there

make sure it doesn't happen well then they're like well you're invading these countries like well we're trying to make sure fucking Osama don't doesn't nuke us so it's it's hard fucking hard and I'm sure that it's been like this in every decade or every generation of life but it just feels like the leaders that are in the country in the world now there's a lot of bad ones and I don't think they're going away well that's

not new. That's not new. I know. Bad leaders is not new. I know it's not. I know it's not. Obviously, we had two world wars and it got pretty messy. I'm just saying that not that long ago. Not that long ago at all. Potentially. I think about like, hey, things have been going okay for the last like 20 years on like continental US. You would say about 20 something years. Things have been what? Like not when no one's like attacking us over here. Yeah. And you feel like oh like think like, but it feels like every some some 20 something year something happens. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah, I mean. Pearl Harbor and 9-11, all these things are happening. I think the-

This is what I think about every single thing. Frankie, the more likely shit I think now is that it's all done digitally in cyber. I know. Like, I think that they're putting the same effort in, but to try to ruin us, they do it. I told Trent this this morning. I don't think they're trying as hard. Because they can't. It's not that they can't.

It's way less likely that they can accomplish just like invading us militarily. See, electricity towers they're getting, no. I think so? They have our grid, man. I got you I know this They have our grid Bro

We've been selling out These Putin's gonna nuke Arizona You think that? I don't know I know that we I just know we've been Selling these processors To these electric towers

To the wrong countries And now they've just got our shit And they can just turn us off In a heartbeat I just yeah Yeah I don't want to think about it I just don't know

What worrying about it Constantly does Because I can't change anything I know I just wonder if people think about it You know what I mean That we're on the podcast So many people

listening to us I wonder how many people sit around and think about it. Like, what's actually going on? I'd say very thing. I'd say most people are like, I got to pay this bill. I got to get my kids to daycare. There's news like a huge part of people's day to day life. Yeah,

like they're sitting there watching world news all day long. Yeah, but they're so polarized that it's like they're just watching the world news that they want. Yeah. Like everybody's just subjected to what they want to be subject to. I'm more of like a news that breaks my brain kind of guy. Like I want to talk about this type. Like this is very generic stuff.

Like, is there going to be a fucking war and what happens when that happens? I don't know that anyone knows the answer to that. Does, like, the people in power know the answer to that? Do you think they have a plan? The crazy part is that we go to the polls and in theory, we vote for people that hopefully are just figuring out of stuff out of that anyone has a plan ever. No. That person, that's in charge of having that plan has started their life no differently than you.

They were just you. They were like, they went to high school. They had a high school job. And their job now is like, make sure Russia doesn't nuke Arizona. There were those pictures back when Obama was president of him, like, smoking weed in college. It was just like, that dude is just the fucking. of the free world. Right.

Like that's the same dude that people were just hanging out with him in a fucking dorm room. You know what I mean? It's just fucking chilling with him. You like, yo, like pass that. Energy grin and all that stuff is very scary. Like Enron just pulled that off. No problem. Enron was literally like squeezing out people in California and just not allowing energy

and people to just be devastated by like not having energy so they could just make more money. I was telling you and you recommended Roman Empire to me on Netflix, which is great. It goes through. Roman emper's like as sort of you have a history channel aspect of it where experts weigh in but it's also acted out and a big part of that was when Cleander who is Comedus's right hand man shuts off the grain supply. Yep. And he shuts it off and the reasoning isn't a good one.

The reasoning is shut it off so people start to starve and then he can swoop in and be a hero when he opens the grain supply again. Like it's that's happening in different ways now all the time. All the time. People were doing that 2,000 years ago. fucking guy was doing that. Right. It's like I I'm not doing it because I want the country to thrive. I want it so people

like me. Dude, I'm watching, I was just watching this, the new one, Ottoman Empire on Netflix. And it's all about the overtaking of Constance and Opel in the fall of the Roman Empire in like the 15th century. And this motherfucker eventually at one point, he can't

get into this. And obviously it's Istanbul now, but he like can't get into this certain like canal basically that's behind Constance and Opal with his ships because they have a giant chain that's been there for like 700 years and this whole thing.

And he just decides, eventually comes up with this brilliant plan that they just knocked down a bunch of trees and over the cover of like cannon fire and all that to mask the noise and all this. They just pick up the ships and just roll them through the hills

and around this giant chain and just drop them into this canal behind. And then they wake up the next morning and the whole all the Romans are like, oh, fuck. We're fucked. We got flanked. They rolled their, they rolled their ships. They rolled them. It's amazing.

And it's like the shit that that's like something somebody would do in a video game to like fuck with one of your buddies somehow. And they just, that's like changed world history for 300 years. I will say this. It's actually the good way to like maybe quell your anxiety about the way the world is headed is learn about history and learn that like things aren't. they're always this crazy. I know. It's not just right. It feels like it that way because we're in it and we're like, holy fuck.

A lot of things are happening. But if you learn about these different eras and these different empires that have gone and come and gone, you learn that things are crazy all the time. Dude, when cities are being attacked back then, it's, I can't help when I'm watching these shows and me and Trent are deep into right now. Oh, yeah. But when they're attacking your shitty, like, if you guys lose, they are just going to murder you and your wife and all your best friends. Right. That's like the result. Just wipe you clean.

That's literally the result. They're going to like decapitate and torture you and everyone you've ever met. Every person. Right. It's fucking crazy. That just happened all the time. The worst thing that can happen to a royal family if you're not the head is a power vacuum. Yeah.

Because then people are trying to grab it and anybody who is even potentially sniffing the line and the top of it, you're gone. Dead. They just killed people. The world's always been on high alert from the second that people were on here. And humans are always humans. Until pretty recently and there's shit still just happens. People get assassinated all the time. But until pretty recently, it was like, if you really had an issue with someone, they, you would just kill them.

Right. In Rome, that was like, if there was a chance that you were going to threaten someone else's upward movement in political society and, like, they were just killing. After watching this show, would you, and I asked this question a couple weeks ago, if you would take your life or like a Roman emperor's life. Well, you got to watching this show and watching, I'm sure they show some of like the amazing parts. that like Roman emperor was able to indulge in wherever you want

you can go wherever you want you can have you want killed you can do anything you want but the stresses of it are insane because it's paranoia was being

was being the top person at that time even like knowing what you know now of the world and all the things you get to do was being the top person at that time

even worth going back I genuinely think the stress of it is not worth it I agree in the paranoia they're all end up turning like there's only like two

really good Roman emperors like ever How long did they live until if they didn't get killed? Marcus Aurelius was 58, I think, when he died. Julius Caesar was 55. So. But those guys were like, Julius Caesar was assassinated. Right.

Stabbed 23 times. So it's like they, he was, by all accounts, I think, eh, he did have like some, I think he had epilepsy. Okay. Potentially. But like he was not like dying. Right. Yeah. Yeah.

Just died of, I think he died of, like, health stuff. Yeah, a lot of people died too, like the plague and all that shit. But yeah, your life expectancy was way. less, but the Roman, I mean, all the, basically the leaders back then, it was like, if you could somehow survive to be 60 or something, that was a miracle. People were just trying to kill you all the time. I genuinely think the stress and the paranoia is not worth it because you, you get to a point where you get so cornered, you can't trust literally anybody.

And it's awful. And everyone, Roman society too, and they do a pretty good job of conveying this in the series. What's this show called? Roman Empire. On Netflix. on Netflix. And Roman society was super exaggerated about honor and ambition. That was literally like deeply ingrained into everyone.

So every human is like basically is is streamlined in that side from the minute that they're a child to try to be as honorable and ambitious and as successful as possible. So like when you're the leader then, your right hand man and your like left hand man and everybody below them has literally been living their whole life to like, how do I get to the top? Right. And that and then what they learn and all the history lessons

that all the people that they like admire like killed people to get to the top. It's fucking crazy. Tons of murder. It's crazy what it must have been like back then. And it is lonely at the top. Like the person that's at the top has like the worst life in town. Right.

Even they get to do whatever fuck they want. Right. But they're just nobody's just like coming home from work and having a great night with their family telling stories and having dinner. That's why I sometimes think an accountant that just fucking goes home and has a decent life and just belongs to a golf course and has a nice family, has a much better life than a Roman Empire.

And it does make me think. Totally. And it's like they always keep talking about this power, but like what is the power? Of what? Power is like, I don't get what that is. I don't get what that is. I guess. That's what Colligula did. He's like banging everything that moved. But like, you know, they try to become like a famous baseball player. Is that ultimate power? Is that ultimate power? I guess. Unlimited sex.

You control military. You can do like that's like a hard. It's like a hard dick move. It is. But then it's like your big gratification of that is you just go like beat up another military. Right. Guess what we have video games. We can do that all that.

So it's like I just don't get what that is. You're like in order to have a better military beat somebody else's military, that's like I guess you're gaining more power. But if that power was already that you had a military, then it's like what do you? Is it, did they get to see it? Is it followers? Is it almost like us getting followers? on Twitter and Instagram. It's like a gratification of like people following you

and you're well known. A big part of being a Roman emperor was like staying in the favor of the people. So you give them land or you give them food or you give them money. You do a certain gesture that allows them to be like, I love comedies. Yep. And they would do the gladatorial games that they would throw. Yep.

People that would just make them the most famous person in the world. Like if they were like, we're doing two weeks of gladiatorial games and festivals, there's going to be food and you get to watch people kill each other in a coliseum. they'd be like that's my fucking man right and then commonist took that step further and not to spoil it for he doesn't spoil it but he's like i'm gonna fight in the games and people are like holy fuck this guy's the shit this guy's a god he's our man yeah that's everybody should watch it it's super interesting all right and i think when you look at it like when i when i noticed during that part like why do they love the game so much like they didn't have like entertainment wasn't a thing right how would you be entertained right you didn't have tv you didn't have like they had nothing probably felt like they were stepping into another world too like stepping into a huge building the coliseum you know

I mean it probably felt like otherworldly like just going to something where there's like people and and imagine just in their huts and shit imagine walking into like they're basically walking into the big house right two thousand years ago right I'm sick that must have been right oh let's right and then people were literally killing each other with like lions and elephants running around yeah it would have been fucking unbelievable unbelievable wow imagine you're sitting there with your buddy the guy got two bucks in the guy and the black hair over there and it's like he's up against the lion and like this blonde guy it looks like you're ripped a bit And you're like, all right.

I've just been doing too much thinking. Yeah. What a show. This is what happens with Danny's not here now. It's so true. It's so true. Brian Baumgartner. Yeah, we're going to talk chili now.

You want to talk chili? Yep. All right, folks, we'll see you in Charlotte. If we don't, we'll be back Thursday. Hit it are. Hit it hard.
