Hey, 4Play listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen to Ad-Free on Amazon Music. Foreplay, I'm at Barstool Sports. We're in the 18th Green at the Rider Cup. You guys are smiling. There's a lot of smirks going on here. I think everybody knows it's going to happen. You guys are hugging.

Scottie Shepworth told me to eat shit. What a week, baby. What a week is right. Did you say that we're on the 18th Green at the Ryder Cup? We're on the 18th Green at Whitsink Straits. Yeah. There's a big sign behind us that says, Congratulations, Steve Stricker.

Yeah, could you actually read that for us? Congratulations, Captain Stricker and USA team. Yep. 19 and 9. Dominant. Slaughter by the water, baby. One of the most dominating performances in Rider Cup history, some are saying. Literally.

Statistically. 19 points. Opposing team didn't even get 10. That's how math works. That's not subjective. Nope. That is simply by the numbers. Remember when we said we didn't know how the future goes?

We now know. We now know. Dominant. Yeah, I was wrong. We will actually want to give you, you know, this is your stage to be able to speak to the people about how painfully wrong you've been for the last three weeks. Putting our listeners through a torture chamber of us debating. I'm a part of that as well. I agree with that.

But just, it's just as wrong as it gets, you know, you're a smart man, intelligent man, and this time you were a dumb, dumb boy, a dumb little boy. Yeah, I mean, I think I was wrong in about every facet you could possibly be wrong. That's right. That's very clear. I consider myself an objective person. I consider myself one that can be rational. I think every way that you look at it, I was wrong. This team was literally probably the best U.S. team by far that I've ever seen in my entire life.

Not even just the golf that they played, but they seem to be best friends. Bryson and Brooks. Brooks went out of his way to hug him bryson afterwards. So I was wrong about that. Yeah, Stricker said afterwards that this team jelled so well that Bryson and Brooks said they wanted to play together at one point. Like the locker room, it couldn't have been a better space for this team. Which I was wrong about? Yeah, you were.

Looking back, Jay, I mean, Justin Thomas just looked at me with the fire of a thousand sons in his eyes. We're talking real hate, real disdain. He came up the stairs, realized it was us, gave a little embrace to you guys, but his main mission was to basically tell me to go, fuck myself. That's good. Hey, congrats on your second place. You guys put up a hell to fight. You got doubled up a little bit, but that's okay.

Yes. Chouche. Yes. Second place isn't that bad. Let's go. Let's go, baby. Good night, Jim tight. Oh, shit.

You publicly for the last three weeks said that him and his team had no chance of winning because they don't like each other. They don't care about the game of golf in a team aspect, and they have no chance of winning. I didn't say they had no chance. I was dissecting, in my opinion, why they were two and seven. and why I believed that trend had a very good chance of continuing. Yes. And I was wrong. Looking back, I don't know hindsight is 2020,

are you embarrassed that you did what you did over Kevin Kisner not making this team? After watching how much fun this was, you couldn't enjoy any of it. The entire golf world is literally laughing at you. Are you embarrassed that you made that decision? I'm not embarrassed. Did it seem more, you guys were having more fun than I was? Yeah, absolutely. It was the most fun I've ever had watching golf.

I could see that. Same. And you were like watching these putts go in. and watching these drives tee off, and watching the National Anthemies saying, and you Riggs were, like, upset about it all. Bryson hit the green on one today. And he wielded his fucking driver, like, elder on.

And he made Eagle. He also flexed his muscles when they introduced him on the T and then hit the green and then grabbed his putter and walked off. As bad of a week as Riggs Barstools had, Bryson DeShambo had that good of a week. Let him answer. Do you regret what you did? I have no regrets.

No, look, I put out a tweet, and I stuck to what I said. Yeah, from what I did. From my perspective, you put out a tweet about a team that you knew nothing about. You didn't know what was going on behind the scenes is what I mean. Like, you didn't know. And proceeded to try to explain to us why we were the sheep

and just going along with it. Right, like, your speculation that nothing like that they weren't getting along is just as on the same level as us speculating that good things are going on. And you decided to take a stance and go root for Team Europe on pure, not even speculation, just what you thought was maybe happening in the Team USA locker room. Well, it was based on years of what had been happening. But

those people aren't around anymore. Right, but like we didn't know until obviously the captain's picture made and all that that like Reed wasn't going to be on the team. I think Reed is like a cancer to those types of things even if he plays well. So yeah, I don't think we knew. Like, no one knew until and there were negative headlines which we've discussed at length coming

in about Team USA that felt reminiscent of other teams. That's largely what I was basing off of. And I have told you guys I was wrong. Beers. You know, it's just everything. They were drinking beers. That seemed to help. No, it's like the argument is that you said that this team wasn't capable of drinking beers.

We had to bring in. I never said they were not capable of drinking beers. Essentially, not capable of drinking beers and having camaraderie. You can go back and listen to the audio of us literally saying the words. Like, I said they have to have camaraderie. They are just normal human beings. It's not like they fist fight every time they see each other. And you said, well, I think that's someone that like plays billiards and drinks

beers like Kevin Kisner will get them together. They need to go to the movies together and like fucking play darts. They literally do stuff like that. Now they're doing that. They've like in the past they haven't. Bro, the argument that we've been making is like maybe sometimes when they lost, they just played bad golf. And like Dustin Johnson literally said that before the Ryder Cup started.

Well, they're all going to say that none of them are going to go in and be like, yeah, we have shitty chemistry. That's probably true. That like, if they just lose, it's not because they don't like each other. I think everybody knows that it was true that the team USA chemistry prior was like not where everybody wanted it to be. buy like headlines and negative shit that came out afterwards like that's not me being like a tweet that's just facts i just think we weren't happy after 2018 because of those reasons we

talked about them at length we can go on circles but remember we're talking about the other day where it's we're we're basing these assumptions on a team that is largely not there anymore it's like judging your islanders from whenever they were bad whatever ever ever when they're in 1980s all the islanders are a dynasty team they haven't won the fucking playoffs in 30 years what does that to do with the 80s right like i don't think there's that much connective tissue between the two teams to then assume that this team was then not going to have camaraderie. This team did everything correctly. That's right.

Like they didn't pick Phil. Phil was an assistant captain. I don't think like it was crazy. He won a major. Like I could have seen them picking Phil. I could have seen them picking Patrick Reed, which I think have a lot of like negative results in past Rider Cups in terms of either off course stuff, on course stuff. They didn't do that.

They went fresh. The six rookies. Clearly they panned out to be phenomenal. And yeah, if your team, you wouldn't change a thing. They nailed it. I also think we're just. 18 and I. And listen, this team has great camarader. They have great beer drinking abilities. They are friends. They're obviously an amazing locker room team. I want to go back real quickly because

I feel like I didn't make this point and I've been thinking about it all week prior to the Ryder Cup. We're talking about these teams, about camaraderie, about all these things. You brought up front offices. You compared it to the Islanders, to the Yankees, to all the sports we watch. This is a one week event every two years. This isn't a locker room type team thing, right? They play two days as a team and then they play Sunday singles, which is literally not a bad team. It's like about your own personal skill level, going out against another guy just like they do every single week. So it's like, I just think you have to pick the best players,

and I think they prove that this week. Like, it doesn't matter if they all hate each other. And I know that they've lost two out of the last nine prior to coming into this one, but I just think it's about playing. How are you playing? It's a fucking three-day event, dude. It's not 82 games, road trips together, fucking wives hanging out all year together.

Are you going to gel? Are you going to hang out? Where are you living? Are you living next to the guy? It's fucking three days, dude. Yeah, the comments. We put way too much into that shit prior. And the comments that Brooks made in that article that none of us liked at the time, but now that we're looking back on it, where he's like,

it is hard to change for one week out of every two years because it's so different than what we do. So that would also reflect in how the locker room chemistry stuff sort of works. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. With this team, it just works. Play the best players. Play the best players. And these guys all seemingly really, really like each other.

It even made Bryson and Brooks. somewhat friendly. I wouldn't call them friends, but they're at least friendly. This team clearly worked. They had won in record-setting fashion. There's no doubt about. Dustin Johnson, 5-0. DJ 5-0, he's the oldest guy in the team. Every session he played in, he just won. He was, yeah, I mean, because not even that many guys played all five sessions.

He played all five and one. Jordan Speath got one point, one and a half points, was it? Did he even get a full point? I have to think back. He pushed his point. Yeah, he had to have gotten. I don't know. But my point being is these guys that we know that a Rider Cup guys,

they live and die for it. Like, even J.T. was a little, he was all over the place in the first two days. Yeah. It's just, I don't know, man. I just, we're just correct in the fact that Steve Stricker looked at the team. He assessed it. All of his front office bullshit that we argued about. They saw the best team possible.

The guys like Sky Shephyr, Murakawa, Dustin Johnson, and they just came out there and they fuck. Call Morikawa. Yep. We talk about how this guy is our ultimate human. being that we would want to be him, how can you not double down on that after watching him in this performance at the Ryder Cup? Everything he does, he does it well and very professional.

I don't think him and DJ even speak, and they just rolled people. They're terminators. Put the ball into the hole. They walk off the green, they give each other a fistpump, and they do the next thing on the next hole. I've never seen anything like that. They're golf computers. It's the opposite of chemistry.

It's just robotic. It was insane. It's sterile, but it works. They didn't look at each other, and they just rolled people. It was just, it was not. Those guys, I mean, they didn't lose. They're not going to lose. That's impossible.

Owens Mixers. We got to shout them out real quick. People drinking those things all over the golf course this week. I saw everybody had a transfusion. They were going back for more because it was delicious. So big thanks to Owens whipping up an awesome, awesome mixer. They got multiple. They got margarita mix. They got mint cucumber and lime. They got grapefruit and line. They have all kinds of good stuff. You go to Amazon and get next day shipping. You can go to the puff thing, which I go Puff. GoPuff. You can go to GoPuff and get like same day shipping. You can go to CVS, Kroger. They have all kinds of them. So go to Owensmixers.com. Check out store locator. go pick it up, put it in with your favorite liquor or choice,

and you just have an awesome cocktail. It's actually amazing that people wouldn't use Owens Mixx. You try to whip up your own and you don't get the ingredients right. You got to buy all kinds of different stuff. Takes you forever. You fuck it up. People laugh at you. They don't like your drink.

They don't like your drink. And then talk shit behind your back about it. You don't want any of that. Owens covers that all bases. Shout it to them for our house, too. We got an amazing house. All decked out with Owen's stuff. We've been drinking Owens all week long.

Back to the gills. I'm going to turn into grape juice. Back to the gills with Owens mixers. and it's, we've been drinking it all week and I'm nowhere near sick of it. I'm going to keep drinking it tonight. And, yeah, everyone was drinking out on the golf course. Just a fantastic, fantastic company with a fantastic product. How many mosquitoes do you think are out of here right now? I'll let you know this.

We're going to feel this when we get back to bed tonight, all right? It's all right. Like, I'm going to feel what's happening right now. We're living in this moment. People are listening to this as an audio forum podcast. If you're watching us on YouTube, you see us just swat in our face, our ears, our fucking ass. But the background is simply too good that we couldn't miss this opportunity. It's a problem.

We're going to be fine. Just keep swatting them away, and I think we're going to be all right. People were texting me just like, ha ha, Scottie Schaeffer told you to eat shit. Justin Thomas looked at you in the eyes and said, you got doubled up. Not so bad. Second place isn't so bad. hilarious. Scotty Schaeffer looked at you and said, hey, Riggs, eat shit.

Hilarious. He also tried to fist bump you and then he, like, pulled it back, which was like a really awesome move. He literally, yeah. He kind of just, like, it wasn't that he missed. He literally was like, I'm not fist bumping. Awesome. Phil Mickelson walked by you and said, whoa, ho, how quickly things. turn because he watched you, like, mucking it up with people up here.

Oh! Oh, how quickly they turn! Where to go, Captain. It's just a... It's just a lashing, though. It's a rigs roast, which is great. It's a rigs roast. Which makes me very happy. I don't know how to handle all this.

You know I can't handle this shit. I'm like a kid in the candy shop right now. I can't handle any of this way. That's awesome. That's everything I wanted. That's everything I wanted. What else happened? Was there another one there?

Price and Deschambeau finally kind of like said, like, what's up, guys? He said hello. Similar to when he won the O's Open last year. Yeah. It was a little bit less nice. Yeah, it was. We like pizza with him after yous open.

I would, uh, I'd call that relationship icy. It's icy, man. We noticed it all week. He would make eye contact with us. Like when we were up there, he hadn't really know where to go. He could have walked right by ice, I guess, but he saw us. And then if he had looked away, then it's, it's not icy. It's the ice age.

I want to say this. It's just kind of icy. He walks by, gave us a fist bump. Good to see you guys, and that's it. I want to say this. I'm, I flip-flop a lot of things I say in my life. What? I've been, you know, a pancake maker at this point when it comes to fucking Bryce and D.

Chambot. I'm flipping them all over sides. I'm grilling them. I'm panicking them. I want to say this now. On this day, on this putting green, I am back on the Bryson D. No, you're not. What I think I am, too.

Bryce and D. Chambo was such a good dude this week. week. This was so big for his career. I don't think that he ever looks back. I think Bryce and Deschambeau takes what happened this week and this weekend and runs for the hills. He runs with all these fans. He is, he captured the heart of America this weekend. If you don't think he did, then you're just blind. Of course he did. But how do you think? Because as soon as he does a few things that you don't like, you're going to hate things. I don't think he's going to do things I don't like. You're going to go again. Riggs fucking Rigsie Rigg Coat. You're

thinking all the worst things about these guys. Well, I just can't disagree with you know. No, you just think Bryce and Deschambo's going to do stuff I don't like. I think he's going to be a fucking awesome superstar. I don't think it's a crazy take by me that in a few weeks he's going to do things that you're going to hate. I can still disagree with things that he does. I'm just, I what I saw out of Bryce's Dishambeau this week made me a very, very big fan and a fan

for life. I saw that he has it in him. Just like the Kevin's hit Kisner thing, I can maybe disagree with something, Bryson says. This is me growing. I can see him doing something. Oh, I fucking hate this guy, but in the back of my head, he proves something to me this week. He's chest bump in Scottie Schaeffler when Schaeffler makes a big put. And then when you were just out there watching

him on the range, he's like a normal-ish person. He's more normal than we thought. We thought he'd have his headphones in, which I guess he did, and would be in his own world the whole time, wouldn't talk to anybody, wouldn't look at anybody, wouldn't interact with anybody. It wasn't that way at all. And this is probably part of the media's fault. And we are a part of the media and we play up the Bryson and Brooke stuff all the time. But when you just watch him on the range during an event like this, he is a very, very normal guy. And I hope that carries over throughout and after the Ryder Cup, because the guy that we saw this week is a guy that I will absolutely root for.

I am not as confident as you, Frankie, that he's not going to do things that aren't going to make me flip back to the other side. But, like, I'm not, I can't go all in. So you think this is any different than Patrick Reed? Like when Patrick Reed became Captain America and then it takes a year or two, he does a bunch of men and people just hate him. I think that what I saw at Bryson this week was a little bit, he wasn't as much like in your face as Patrick Reed. Like Patrick Reed still was polarizing when he was. he was Captain America. So, like, I could see how he would be polarizing one way or another.

Bryson D. Chambot kind of fell in line this week. He did the thing that he just had to do. He was just one of the boys, and that's the part I love. He wasn't running around, fucking throwing things in the stands, and, like, really saying a lot of polarizing things in the media. He was just, he was just one of 12. That's the part that I really became a fan of it. He was awesome this week.

He filled his role perfectly. I couldn't agree more. He's not Captain America after this. He's just Bryson Dichambeau. I've never seen him thrive more than he did here, even when he won at Wingfoot. I don't think he thrived like he did here. He didn't play in the mornings.

They played him in the afternoon where it was four ball. And I thought that was a huge benefit. He wasn't, there's no sight, sounds, whatever, that he was upset with that. He just came out and played his role and did it great. He hit the ball as far as he possibly could. He was hyping up the crowd today. He had a funny moment where the crowd started booing because he put the driver away, pulled out the three wood.

And he was like, don't worry, guys, I'm still going for the green. And then hit it pin high like 330 with a three wood. he obviously had all the antics on the first tee where he drove the green on the 360 yard par four first hole. Hell is putter in the air. One of the main eagle. Well, the better moments in golf history, not rider cup history. That, maybe because we were right behind him when it happened.

We were there, yeah. Second row, Trent and I sprinted to the first two today. That was a scene. We almost lost Trent. Almost had a heart attack. How's your knee? My knee is an adrenaline type thing. I just ran.

Right. I just fucking ran. You were in front of me the whole time. Thought about getting one of those ice, I went, yeah, those like cold compresses that you see in the first aid boxes where you crack them and they're cold. But I powered through it. You know, I kind of limp my way there. I sprinted, but that's a scene, man.

If you're ever going to come to the Ryder Cup, you've got to experience that. You know, we get all the snooty media passes and we get all the fucking things from, you know, working with the PGA and stuff. But we really enjoyed just being with the people today, like actually running with the herd. It was a fun experience, man. I felt alive. It was fun afterwards. After I recover.

Oh, come on. You enjoyed it a little bit to rush, man. Go watch that video where you go. Come on, boy! I didn't heard that out of you in my life. I got a little cocky at the beginning where I said, let's go, boys. And I was trying to get everybody running with us. And then about 45 seconds later, I was about to be on the ground and needed medical attention.

But I did have fun doing that. But we watched that Brison D. Chambot moment. And if he can just bottle that, and it's going to be tough because there's no other event like the Rider Cup. So it's going to be hard. But somehow bottle what he did today and all this week and just act like that all the time. And people are going to love you. He didn't say a word in that moment. He didn't do anything out of line in that moment.

He just hit a drive onto the green, gave everyone a little fucking Hulk. Like, I'm the Hulk. And then they hand them a party and he wielded it to the crowd. That is what I've always wanted out of this guy. Be the bomber. I compared this team this week to the New York Yankees. I'm a Yankees fan, but in this aspect, they've got the big names, the big contracts, the Bryson DeCampos, the Brooks Keppkas.

Yeah, there's egos on this team. Of course. But you know what? You pay to see the pinstripes. right wasn't that is that from uh catch me if you can they can't keep their eyes off the pinstripes that's why the yankees fucking you know that sounds familiar why why is mckey mano so good because they can't keep their fucking eyes off the pinstripes that's what this team usa was no one can keep their eyes off these guys and you know what we showed up to that first team we ran there because we wanted to see that that bomb that's the cool shit that's what i loved about it you get what you pay for team usa i can't take these mosquitoes i don't know if we can keep doing the show it's it's undoable these These are insane. It's a lot.

Do we have anything? There's a lot of mosquitoes. We win? What can we do about these mosquitoes? This is over here just blow on my face. People on YouTube can see, but I can't see the actual bugs. Like, this is unbelievable. What happened?

There's a complete mosquito problem right now. We were just out here earlier. It wasn't like, are they getting, are they getting bit by mosquitoes? There's a couple other media outlets here doing things. Big J. Journalists over there. Yeah, they were like, let's feast on the pieces of shit. They probably have like an intern spray fucking bugs for every other segment. and they're just our professionals on this.

All right, I think we try to power through a little bit longer. I think we have to, right, at this point? Look, TMSA was awesome. What can you say? They had the record-setting win that's clearly going to lead to them just being awesome top to bottom. When you win and takes care of everything, the fact that these guys are hugging, Bryson and Brooks, and they're not supposed to like each other, but they're hugging. All of that goes completely out the window.

It's just, it's a dominating win. There's really nothing else I can say about it. They dominated, they proved everything that I said wrong. They seem to be complete boys. what you really got to look at, too, is Europe is in trouble because... They're old. Europe's old. This was kind of there.

And it's not like, I don't think Patrick Harrington had many other options, like, in terms of who he was going to pick for captain's picks. Like, what names was he really going to go with? He went with Poulter. He went with, you know, there's Lee Westwood is on the team. Just some older guys. Sergio. Sergio, who actually played damn well. But, like, they're getting old.

And now, you know, there's a generational gap that a lot of people are citing for the European team. where it's like this U.S. team was largely built on like new blood coming. And yeah, DJ went 5 and O, obviously. He's one of the best players in the world. But like a lot of the young guys that we were just talking about from Cantlay to Moracawa, J.T. and Spieth aren't that old. They're still pretty young. Like those young guys, Sheffler, obviously, are going to be there and have all of this

positive scar tissue now or whatever the hell you would call it, like all these positive memories about the Ryder Cup going forward. And they're some of the best players in the world. and Europe, I don't know where the fuck Europe's going to get anything outside of John Rock. So a couple tweets saying, did you not do any homework when you jump ship to Europe, knowing that they had all the same problems that you've often complained about with Team USA? Yeah, but it's hard to call them problems when they just dominated in Paris last ride. How would that be like signs of problems?

Well, no, so going in, you're like, it's the same type of deal, right? Like old guys, they don't have much, like they're doing the same thing. They're going after the surgery. Right, but if you're doing the same thing and that same thing has been winning, that's like not a problem. Well, they lost the Rider Cup before that. So, like, prior to that, they were one-in-one, if you're going to base it off the last eight years. Well, if you're going to bait, like, they've...

The only two times U.S. has won this century was 2008 and 2016. So it's, like, those guys have a ton of positive stuff. My point is that we're now talking about how they have a problem, and, like, you basically were complaining about the United States having, like, a very deep-rooted issue in the way that they went about their team. And now all European, like, fans, like, real European fans are saying that they have a deep-rooted issue within their team, that they don't have, like, these young.

young guys that, like, can keep up with the United States team. And it just seems like you didn't do much research into that when you were complaining about the United States. Well, the research now just, like, got created in the last three days. Well, it did. But, like, you could have had, like, some hope into, like, knowing that the United States was set up better, instead of Kevin Kisner, you would have known that we were set up much better than Team Europe, who is now in complete trouble.

It's very easy to say that. Also, you said that they were two to one favorites going into it. Whatever. You're not going to answer the question. You're obviously, like, trying to dodge it. So that's fine. We can go on to the next thing. What do you mean?

You're dodging what I'm asking. No, I didn't. I answered. Yes, you are. You're like dancing around. You obviously would have known that this team had a bigger battle to come against, knowing that they have no one else to play but the Sergio's and all these old guys. Patrick Harrington had no other options. But I answered by saying I don't agree with that going in because those guys didn't have negative memories. They had positive memories.

They had one rider cups, not lost them. That's different. The issue that I had with Team USA and the older crowd and that was that they just continue to get picked and continued to lose. The European team, like, yeah, they continue to get picked, but, like, they were winning. So, of course, they picked them. But they lost the record right before the one that they won in Paris. But that's fine.

It's okay. You just always glossed over the time they won. But they won two of them before that. So, like, those are the guys. Okay, okay. So how far back do you want to go? You can't just, like, cut it off and every one. You always go way far back.

We've always been in the now and the present. Like, because it's a whole different team is my point. Like, you didn't give this team a chance. You just always went off. Well, right, that I was wrong about. I said that. I literally have like said that. I started the show saying.

Right, but the old, oh my God. All right, we're just going to keep going circles. Team Europe is everything that you hated about team in USA. And I understand that you're saying that you only know that now. I think the argument is like people saw the writing on the wall going into this Radical which is why Trent and I stayed on Team USA's side, regardless of who they picked. So we want me to say like congratulations to you for that? Oh, Jesus Christ.

I think this is worse than the mosquitoes. I just don't know what you're asking me to do. What are we just talking about? It's a fucking podcast. Like I'm, this is, am I like, going crazy right now? No, no, I don't, like, I answered it. What else do you want me to see? Okay, so go on to the next topic then.

You just answered it just there at the end. Like, you listened to what I said finally, and you said, all right, like, what do you want me to say? Congratulations, but I thought maybe you'd elaborate a little bit more on that, but it's fine. We're moving on to the next topic. I thought me explaining that, like, those guys had positive memories. Was elaborating, no? Gotcha. I see.

Yeah, that's fine. I just don't understand what you're upset about. I'm not, like, I don't get that. It's not. All I said was that Team Europe has all of the problems that Team USA in your mind had. You did not like the way that Team USA was going about things. You did not give Team USA the time of day to make the changes. Now you jump on Team Europe.

And it's just funny to us and most USA fans that now the team that you jumped on to try and get us and be like, oh, I got you guys, literally has these same problems that Team USA had that you jumped away from. Right. That's a statement that you made. That's not a question. Like, I don't understand where am I supposed to chime in there? What? I actually began the segment explaining that, to be honest with you.

I'm the one that brought it up and said, you know, a lot of people are saying on Twitter that, like, Europe has a generational gap now. I'm actually the first one that said that, I would say. But my point, my question is, didn't they have that prior to stepping up to the first T? Well, clearly now it looks like they did yet. Oh, okay. But shouldn't you have known that going in and, like, not just cared about Kevin Kisner not being on this U.S.S.A. team? Well, no, that's the part where I'm saying that I was wrong. Okay.

Okay. There's the answer then. Right. Which I said at the beginning of the show, I said it was wrong. Okay. We just wanted to hear it again then. Okay. It is nice to hear. All right.

I really love you. I think you're really rattled right now, which is sad to see. Sad to hear. I don't think I am. I think you're calling off more rattled than I am. Oh, my rat. I don't know. Okay.

It's been a long week. I don't know. We'll see. We'll see what happens. All right. It's getting super weird. I just felt like I was answered your question. That's fine.

No, yeah. Obviously. Yeah. That's fine. Should we do an ad read? Yeah. Let's go right into that. Sure.

I think it draws people in from a television standpoint. When you see holes on the lake, you see boats out there.

weather for the most part was fantastic throughout. So I thought the PJ nailed it with Whistling Straits. The weather was incredible. Yeah. I thought for sure coming to Whistling Straits, all you hear is like windy and just nasty, especially like coming after our abandoned trip. I thought it was just more of the same bullshit. Very nervous about that coming in.

And I mean, it was hot here. Like you're walking, everyone was sweating. I mean, I got sunburn. You were waiting for more wind, honestly, walking around here. Yeah, when we're sitting to the first tea today, we're like, it feels like it's 80 degrees out here. I mean, it was going to be 40. 38 degrees. 100%. We got there 7 a.m. and we were sweating our dicks off. So that part was great. Super

easy to walk around here. Weather-wise, the part that's not easy to walk around here is all these mounds, which I didn't know that this place was pancake flat prior to building. Flat, baby. Which is crazy to me. The flat piece of land. You just watched this Rider Cup. And I don't know if everyone else knew this, but I didn't know this, but this place was legitimately just like a beach, just flat. The whole thing was sand straight from the actual shore of this lake just to, you know, fucking miles, miles long into all this corn shit, this Midwest bullshit that's out here. You love it here. I don't love it here.

You kind of like it, though. My point being, this is all man-made. I don't understand how it's possible. We're looking out. You look out there now, and it seems impossible that this was never flat. One of the more undulated golf courses I've ever seen in my entire life. Were you saying moguls the other day? There's moguls on the greens. That's little hills. There's little heaps, I think.

Heaps. But there's big hills everywhere. We have to walk back up on once we're done with this podcast. People were falling all over the place. spectators were falling all over the place media were falling over the place it was a nightmare what a move by this TV crew up here

they're doing they're going live and there's so many mosquitoes around them that they actually took all the lights on them and they moved them away from them so that the mosquitoes would just follow the light that's really smart all right ebug and no light what's your guys light situation do we have a huge phone

and you just like he's trying it bug's trying it I don't think that's not enough light dude that's not even close light. Maybe I just do this. I mean, I know when they listen, you don't really, we're kind of in your ears. It's annoying. It's an audio podcast.

Why are you guys talking about the mosquitoes? Not one of us has been able to stand still. And actually, every time I slap my leg, it just turns into blood. Bloods. Because you hit it every time. I'm going to walk around like a fucking war. I have blood just on my hands, like, all over the place. And now we are looking at that TV light that they have turned away from their people.

Oh my God. And the amount of mosquitoes that are going up to that light are. is horrifying because I know that we're just standing in that. Right, that is the scariest part. You know when you, it's raining out and you like kind of feel the rain, but then like you, or maybe you're watching a baseball game and you're like,

oh, I heard it's raining. Like you see the rain kind of coming down. And then they show that one shot of the rain going by the fucking lights and you're like that many drops of rain are coming down from the sky. Like, how is that impossible? That's what we're seeing right now with the mosquitoes. It's bad. What's with mosquitoes?

Why do they exist? Are they one of those like we have to have them? They're really important or no. Right, like you take them out of the ecosystem, the volcanoes erupt. Right. That's what I mean. Are they one of those types of creatures? They must be, because I think...

I think they just suck the bloods out of Italians. People much... Just Italians? I feel like Italian's like bad mosquito bites. You're sucking the blood out of Briggs Barstores. You probably just think that you just like, it's always me. I got it the worst. It's just like, I feel like my family always had bad mosquito bites.

I know my dad gets these crazy ones and I feel like it was Italian blood. You're saying the mosquitoes are prejudice. Maybe a little bit. Or maybe the Italian blood tastes good. I think they've been biting Me and my family just as much As they've been biting your family. Same, I'm not Italian.

You're Italian. Let me know if you've experienced the same thing. I don't know what the deal is with mosquitoes. I just know that, like, if they really had to be wiped off the face of the earth, someone much smarter than us, someone a long time ago would have thought of it because we just deal with mosquitoes. I really regret wearing shorts.

Would you take mosquitoes off the earth or spiders? Mosquitoes. Spiders almost never affect me. Yeah, but when they do, it's really traumatic. But it's so rare. I had it happened at my parents' place just when I was visiting there. There was a spider in the shower. First time I was taking a shower there.

And I looked down and there it was. And I put it scalding hot water onto it. How big was it? It was like this big. About the size of a quarter. Gross. And then I put a bunch of water on it and went down the drain. But then the rest of the time that I was at my parents' place, I showered looking down like this.

And I just washed my body while staring at the drain. Because I thought that fucker, even on the second and third day, I thought he was going to crawl up out of there and be like, I'm back, bitch. But also, if there's one spider in the shower, you know, there's more spiders in the house. That's right. For sure. I should probably let my folks know. I actually didn't tell them.

What's that stat they say that if you sleep with your mouth open, you swallow like eight spiders a year? I hope it's a lifetime, not a year. I think it's like a year. That's a problem. I sleep in my mouth open for sure. I don't know if I do or not. My mouth is dry. So every time I wake up to the point where I actually think I'm going to buy this tape that goes over your mouth like you sleep.

I've heard of that. Perfect. Can we get that before you do the podcast? Ooh, there we go. That's a good one. There we go. A little fist bump there. It's a good one.

All right. We're like Bryson Brooks. We're coming together. There we go. Well, before it got weird about it. Like, you know what we're trying to do. We're trying to make you say, I'm sorry. And you're right a billion times.

And you were being extremely difficult and making me go around circles to get you to just say, I'm wrong. That's what this fucking podcast is. That's what it is. Today's podcast is about you being wrong. As much as it may fucking piss you off for two hours, we are going to tell you that you were wrong. That's just like you have to accept that. So wrong. I'm super.

wrong. That 10 minutes was like you were like trying to battle me about like exactly what I was like I was just trying to repeat exactly how wrong you were. Yeah but I'm in the acceptance phase of being wrong. That's fine. It's like grieving. No we're like we're, like keep letting us suck the blood out. We're going to drag you through every stage on this podcast. That's what we want to do. That's what the people

want. I had countless people tweeting at us. It's what we want. That is what I want to. We did this for three weeks. This is a three week long win. And it was such a dominant win for us and Team USA that you know, sometimes you got to take your medicine. That's just what it is. Did you know that the team Europe was going to play this poorly?

Nope. I didn't know Roy McGrath. I mean, could we talk about Roy McRoy? Can't predict future. What's he going through? Oh, he was crying. He cried, which again was what the interview was why we love him. Like it was very raw, real, emotional, but it seems like there's something else going on. Right, because we saw it in, we were sitting in the media center when that happened, and there's no audio, there's no sound on in there. So we just saw Rory come off after losing, or he went, he won today. after winning and then go up to us... He won like wire to wire.

Yeah, he killed Shoffley today. But then he went up to a Sky Sports Reporter. They were doing all the stats. Like Roy McRoy, like only player in the field without a birdie for the whole week. Going to the singles, he birdied like his first two holes and a bunch more and won his match.

And he goes up to the Sky Sports Reporter and just can't even speak. He's crying so much. And I immediately thought, again, we couldn't hear what he was saying. I thought there was something going on with his family. I thought something really bad was going on. And then, boy, you really just slapped my back.

until you see the blood of the one I just got. There's blood all over my sweatshirt? These things are sucking our fucking faces off. I don't know that we can do this. This is like, we're going to pay for this for like weeks. You did think that his like something happened with his family. I did because I couldn't hear what he was saying.

And then it was just about like, you know, I let the team down. He's Rory McElroy. He didn't. I haven't seen the quotes, but I assume that he was just like devastated that he didn't play well and then started crying. So it was just tough.

And we all love Rory outside. of the Ryder Cup and we love when he does honest interviews so i hope everything's going okay um he clearly just has a ton of passion for the rider cup i guess he loves the rider cup if there's nothing else going on right before we do this podcast we're up there um where all the players were um and i was peeking around a corner to see if the players were going to exit by us or if they were going to exit another way to see if we're going to start this podcast or not like or if we have to wait for them and i look over this corner and rory mackerel is behind this wall walking down this hallway of what i guess that's the the clubhouse here at Wesleyan Straits,

and he has his hat off and he has his arms, his hands running through his hair, and he's just walking down the hallway, just like distraught. Yeah, he said he's never felt this way about an individual thing that has happened to him. It's when he's part of a team and he loves being on the Ryder Cup team

and it's phenomenal. And then when he plays as poorly as he played, I guess it really just gets to him. Which if you love the Ryder Cup, which we do, and you love the pageantry of it, you love U.S. against Europe, all of that, You got to love a guy who's just crying because he thinks he let his team down and didn't play very well. You have to love it.

Yeah. I mean, no matter which side you're on you're like, hell yeah, that guy, an event where he makes, you know, no money. It's not about the money. There's no individual prestige, really. Like, you can't individually win the Rider Cup. There's no MVP of the Riter Cup. It's just the team. You either win it or lose it as a team.

He was distraught. He was talking afterwards in an interview about how much it meant to, you know, Shane Lowry and to Sergio and these other guys. So, like, him letting them down in his own mind, I guess, is what was leading him to be so emotional and crying and sad and devastated about the whole result. But you just love to see it. And it's another reason, again, that I think everyone is like, fuck, I love Roy McRoy. I know that there's the President's Cup and there's match play,

and there's other team events aside from the Ryder Cup. But, and I don't know if this is, this is recency bias. So I'm like I said, I don't know that it is. Okay. But I don't know that I can get up for anything other than, team golf like ever again after experiencing this. I don't. I think that's right. I don't know that I care about golf unless it's team event golf.

Who cares who wins a regular event, even if it's a mate? Like I know, unless it's Tiger Woods, like, I have no allegiances to anyone. We get, if you think about it, rooting for golf is so fucking stupid compared to all the other things we do. We just don't care who wins. And like when they win, we get all excited. It's like, there's no allegiances to anything. We have no pride.

We just watch for the golf, for the sport. and we just like celebrate whoever wins at all. It could be Matthew Fitzpatrick or it could be Cantlay one. It could be Scotty Sheffler. We are just, yay! This ruins every week in golf. It does. I'm embarrassed to watch golf every other week.

Like, that are awesome. Yeah, the masses are incredible, but that's a gusty. I do not, I have, I, whoever wears a green jacket, Hideki Matsuyama, I never cared about him in my life. We were just as excited when he went. We were going fucking crazy when he went. So it's like, how stupid are we? This is the thing you get up for.

USA versus Europe there's a team Like you're literally doing math You're like you're seeing how many points you need You're looking at this board that has six matches going at the same time on Sunday You're like what? You don't even know where the fuck's going on You're like going crazy You're actually fist bumping no matter what happens as long as for your team

It makes me think that they need to implement Full-time team sports in golf Get Team Taylor made versus Team Callaway Let's have trades Let's have pickups like let's do this shit Let's just have teams man There's certainly... Can you imagine if every week was alternate shot leading it cool?

There certainly needs to be our team. Leading into like a scramble leading into Sunday singles and we're team tailor. As are high-fiving and like, yeah. Oh my God. And they're like, maybe they can do some sort of like individual award for whoever wins like the most Sunday singles matches and like that guy gets more money. Like they have to be able to figure that out. How amazing would that be? You'll never do it.

No, I don't know. They'll obviously never go full-time team events because they just simply cannot do that. It's not golf. No, but they need more of them. And that seems to always be the takeaway after an event like this where we see how awesome it is. We see how into it all the guys are. And then we come away from it just being like, why don't we do that on a extremely

regular basis? Oh, the world loves golf this weekend. Like everyone of every sport and every nationality loves this sport because they're doing something cool. Why not just do that all the time? Well, the flip side of that or the argument of that would be that it's USA Europe. So that's easy to get up for where it's like, I'm just going to go from. my country. That's super fun. And then once you start splintering it off into like,

Team Taylor made, Team Callaway, you probably lose that luster a little bit. You could still have that. Like, this would be like the All-Star game. Like, holy shit, this would be the Olympics. They're getting together for the country. Oh, now Team Taylor made and Team Calloway are all banning together. They're all for Team USA. We'd still go fucking nuts. We'd want to kill the Euros. Yeah. It wouldn't be, no, I'm with you. I don't want to be anti-team golf events because I think there certainly need to be more of those. Like, imagine you, we're going to get up for somebody, like, really grinding their way to a tie for eighth next week at some event.

We're going to be like, wow, he had a really good show, and that's awesome. Who gives a fuck about that? Even the winner. Like Frankie said. You're going to go from this. Even the winner, right. Congrats. You won a million bucks.

That's awesome. It's great for you. What do we get? Right. Like, what we get from this event, the rider cup? It's national pride. I feel like I won. I feel like I won.

How about the roars out there, like the rider. So this was your guy's first ever at Ryder Cup. The only other one I've been to was Paris. It wasn't like I've seen much more. I've only seen one in Europe, which is fitting. But what did you get? I mean, first Ryder Cup, was it everything he thought it would be? Just from a general, like, theatric standpoint?

Well, where you go first? I mean, absolutely. Just going on that first tea this morning, we were there three hours early, and the energy kept up the whole time. You're singing. You're chanting USA. There's music blaring. Everybody's in it together except for that little, you know, little side of Europe.

There's people over there, and I don't even know if they're actually European. I don't know if we ever checked. Again, just like the president's could be fake. Completely hired by the PGA to come here. Maybe not hired, but like asked to come and do European versus American chance behind the first tee to get everyone going. Because like what are the odds that there's eight guys in European matching outfits? And then there's eight guys in American matching outfits.

They're both in identical opposite spots on the bleachers. And they're singing songs together. And they start all the chance. They start all the chance. It's obviously brought in. Just like at the President's... But that aside, I loved it. It was everything I wanted to be and more.

I want to go to as many rider cups over the course of my life as I can. Because you just get swept up in it. There's really something about rooting for your country, and it happens during the Olympics. It happens during the World Cup. Where you're just like, these are our guys. They're stallions. And I don't care about anything but rooting for them to win and dominate and get the W.

And that being a part of that, being on the grounds while that was happening, is something that I'll never forget. It's been a lot of fun. One of the best events I've ever been to. Absolutely 100%. Viewing-wise, really tough. Hold on, we're about to get bug spray right now. Wow, this could be a huge moment from Garrett came flying down that hill.

Which, by the way, I watched people fall down that hill multiple times this week, so him coming buzzing down that hill and not falling with the bug spray is very impressive. Just spray me like I'm in a fucking porn, like I'm getting Bukakied right now. He's the only one getting sprayed right now. Just cover me up. Thank you. You've got to get my legs. That's just it.

That's really all I need it. I mean, I need it all I'm everywhere, but. That's going to give us, like, cancer. I think that's going to do anything? That's going to give, that's going to be. Right, that's going to give us a disease in 15 years, but I'm happy that it's a little bit of, you know, it's helping right now. Right. All right. All right.

All right. I will say, the way that's going to the nostrils right now, I agree. I think we just, like, killed ourselves. Absolutely. I will say, so I'll finish that point, really, really, really difficult for the average fan to watch a lot of golf. Okay? Very difficult. Maybe the hardest golf event to come to and watch because there's only four matches at a time during Friday and Saturday in those sessions. And you really just don't see that much golf even when you're watching on TV.

Like there's only eight guys going for each side and you're just like if you're on whole 16, you're waiting there all goddamn day and you really only get what is it an hour of golf coming through yeah if you think about it right it's really not that much coming through and the place is packed and the place is packed that i heard numbers of 60 70 000 people here at whistling straight so hopefully beth page has a little bit better of a viewing experience there are a lot of holes at beth page where you can see like things going on like if you stand in between 16 17 and 18 you can see a lot of the action um but aside from that awesome The vibes were off the charts.

The first hole was fucking lunacy. So good. It was chaos. The first hole was chaos. Yeah. No matter what time you went, as long as there was guys possibly coming up or there were guys on the schedule coming up to tee off on one, it was just complete chaos. And then once the last guy teed off, again, chaos running out of that fucking grandstand and running to probably 16 was the next best spot.

You know what is a great viewing experience? What? Sling TV. Yes, it is. I'm a cord cutter. All right. Same. I don't know if we're allowed to say it in the eye.

I don't know if that's what they want, but I cut the chord years ago. It was the best citizen ever made. I went with Sling TV. If you love watching live sports, but you're tired of the high prices, right, where they throw everything in there. You don't watch any of those channels. You're like, why am I paying X for all this stuff that I'm never going to use? I don't want HGTV?

No. It's just not something I watch. You don't want what? HGTV. Actually, I'll be honest. I kind of like HGTV. Okay. Does Sling TV have HGTV?

I don't know. I bet you they do. I bet you, I think they do. I bet you they do. I'm sure they do. HGTV is a fantastic network. Oh, I shouldn't have shit on HGTV? Property, property brothers.

They go renovated houses and stuff. You don't shipwap your house, bro? I don't even know what that is. Chip and Joanna shiplap. They brought that shit to the fucking show. It would be really funny if it was in the ad copy of one of the highlighted channels. I did not mean to besmirch the good name of HGTV. It's just not something I watch.

Nothing better than finding a good old HGTV show to watch and binge. They just put them on episode 1 through 30. All right. 4 o'clock in the morning. All right. I'll watch HGTV. There's one on there where they're like shopping for homes in Hawaii. It's awesome.

The best. All right. Sling is the place where your favorite channels, including ESPN, NFL Red Zone, HGTV, SEC Network. That's not in there. Gagal channel, FS1, TNT, NBC, sports network, and more. All come together for less. With Sling, you can watch Pro.

That guy said, hey, Riggs. What's up? Oh, hey, man. How you doing? Oh, now it's awkward. We're in the middle of the show. We can do a picture. got to come down here though scotty sheffler just message me out of nowhere great to see you frankie

Team USA, the fact that you would do that to your own country is pretty messed up. Team USA, we love it. Dang, way to go, Jack. There you go. Sling.com, get out of here, Jack.

Very cool. Brandon Walker shows on there. Yeah. College football show with Brandon Walker, the hour. Yeah, man. Check it out. I have something I want to say. That's unrelated to anything we've been talking about.

You're wrong? You're going to apologize for being wrong? I'm going to apologize to the guy ran into, we were talking about this last night. Oh, shit. I'm going to apologize to a guy ran into Friday morning. So Friday morning, there was insane traffic. And we were running late, and there were reports like Tony Finaw, I think, had to get a police escort. I heard Zander Schofley's dad and his coach missed his first tee shot he ever hit in the Ryder Cup.

Traffic was insane. We were running late. Get to the course. And I'm like, mozy and around. And I had like trying to get to, I can remember exactly where I was trying to get to. But, you know, we're running into people. And it's awesome. People out here, like, it's insane how many people love what we do and yell nice things to us.

It's awesome. And I'm buzzing. And one guy's like, just goes, Rigsie, why aren't you on the first tee? And I just said, like, why aren't you on the first tea? Was my response. And he goes, well, I didn't know you're going to be like a dick about it. And I was like, well, no, I just said like what you said to me. I just said the same thing back to you.

And then we've got to both went our separate ways. And I was like, again, I was like frustrated. I was trying to get like where I wanted to go. And so I apologize to that guy. I'm sure he probably told buddies or something. And like, and 30 seconds later, I was like trying to find him looking back. Because I was like, I'm a, that's just, I didn't, I could have easily just been like, ha, have a great day, whatever.

And instead, I was kind of a dick to that guy. so I apologize to that guy. I had a little bit of a snafu is what they call it. Walking down towards 16. You know, taking pictures of people, which to me is insane. It's always been insane.

I was just working at a pizzeria five years ago, up Raleigh's Italian restaurant. No one was fucking taking pictures with me then. Now for some reason, when we get in fucking awkward fights with rigs on a podcast, they want to take pictures with us now. So like this world that we've lived in just somehow makes people want to see us.

And to me, that's really cool. And I really, really enjoy it. Yeah. Love meeting people. I love being able to travel this fucking, world to be able to do this stuff.

We do travel the world, but just not. And, you know, doing all that, and we're walking down the fairway. And, um, this guy comes up to me and he goes, literally comes up to me as I'm walking. He goes, Frankie. I was like, yeah, what's up, man? Just general fucking conversation I thought. And he goes, I love Barstil, dude, but I fucking hate you. Yeah. Great to my face. I go, all right, thanks, dude. And just kept walking. Like, I'm like, thanks, man. And he goes, as, and I hear him he goes yeah that's right I go I turn around like now what the fuck like what the fuck do you want to happen now

right right like what I go what was that and he goes what was what and now we're staring at each other and he go I go you've made this incredibly awkward and I'm like kind of laughing and he goes it wouldn't have been awkward if you just kept walking and I go like he was kind of being a dick so at this point I like wanted to just fucking end

this guy's life whether it was like like I just wanted him to die like right there on the spot if he died I would have felt really good about it just been like hey this dude just died but We're all fine. He was mean to me, so it's all right. But, you know, I was just like, I kind of swallowed my tongue and, like, was about to walk. And he gave me like a, like, dude, this guy's a lunatic.

So I finally was like, just remember, like, you called me. Yeah. Like, you, you started this. You came up to me. I have no. And I think it came off as like, you know who I am. Right. No one knows who you are.

But I genuinely was saying to him, you came up. You started this thing. We wouldn't even be talking to me. I would have been eating a soft pretzel right now. Had you not known my name? name and came up to me. So it's like, stop, stop doing that. And then also stop being so being so mean to me. I didn't get that. So that was the only bad interaction I had out of fucking 20,000 people that were here. Yeah, I'm trying to, I'm trying to think I had a

flawless week of interaction. Well, everyone was you, we had a good time. You know, guys are coming up to you with their girlfriend saying, my girlfriend loves you. Can you please take a a picture? Luggage guy. Yeah. Luggage guy. You know, come, take my luggage out of here. The only slip up that I had was this morning that I don't know how to answer the question about where we're, where we're, uh, oh my God. Yeah. Trent had another way to station. Literally had no idea how to answer the question. I just don't know what they mean.

So it turns out it might not even be a tiger thing. It was just like there's a gap in your brain. But the guy sitting in front of us on the first T this morning turned around and he was talking to us. He was very nice. And then he said, where are you guys based out of? And I just said, do you mean here or where is our headquarters? So I don't know how to answer that question. Which is crazy because that's just the most straightforward question of all times.

It's New York. We were talking about Barstool. He was asking us how long we've been here, like, where are we doing the podcast? He goes, well, where are you guys based out of him? And you're like, do you mean not the course? In my head, I wanted to say... I looked around. I said, is this guy doing this again?

In my head, I wanted to say Plymouth where we're staying. That's insane. You're not based out of Plymouth, dude. We do no basing at Plymouth. Unless basing means throwing my cock against the wall in my Airbnb. Is that basing? Where's home base right now? Throw it against the wall?

Whatever I got to do, bro. You've got to get that shit out of me. It's gotten to a weird place, you know? You know? He's been doing it for so long. I do know. I sometimes just, I, you know, I sometimes just hang on the fucking fan. Just get myself going.

It's like, let go and just splat against the wall. Kevin Neal and weeds when he like, he basically hangs himself while he's, all right. So I, would you, what was the question where are you guys what? Where's you guys home base out of? Where are you guys based out of? No, but you asked me, what would you say if someone else? Like, where's our home base right now? Where's your home base would be Plymouth?

Oh, where's you guys home base? See, I see you're on my side. That one sounds like Plymouth. Where's you guys home base? Like, who would ever say that, meaning, like, where do you guys work? No, because we're all clearly here traveling. But where are you guys based out of is a question of where do you guys do your work. I got confused again.

Whatever. It's okay. Everyone loses. Riggs lost. Big time this week. Big time. Yep. Justin Thomas hates him.

Oh, a real fire in JT's eyes. You stared to me like. It was a stare that, because you were dapping them up. No, so what happened was, yeah, he came up the stairs, and people have seen the video now. But just to break it down a little bit, saw you because he started clapping really loudly, which was hilarious. And then he started immediately talking to Riggs, and I was in between the two of you. He wasn't even talking to me. And I had, yeah, he was yelling at you.

And I had put my hand out, and then I put my hand back, and I was like, I'm in one of those moments right now where I know that there's a camera on and I'm about to be fucked and people are going to make fun of me for it. But then, J.T., the consummate pro, I sort of put my hand out again. and he is still yelling at Riggs and he hits me with a DAP, which people are now saying on the internet that it is one of the cleanest daps they've ever seen. After we got through the first rough patch

where I thought he was just going to skip over me entirely, he no look hit me with a Dap and people are, they're A plus, that's the best app I've ever seen. It was a no-looker because he was staring through my soul. He was. Well, he was staring so hard at Riggs that while he's doing this Dap,

and everyone knows, or you can kind of picture exactly what I'm saying, saying here. When someone's like being moved like an oh moment and you're still locked on whoever you're trying to like rattle. Like you've seen it in that giff of that of all the guys at the park going crazy and like oh yeah and they're screaming and running and the one dude's the middle fucking getting right around but he's staring at the camera. That is exactly what jt did no matter how many people dapped him up pushed him hugged him screamed at him he was locked in on rigs to be like fuck you dude you didn't think we had a chance at this thing.

And we proved you wrong. We doubled up on you. Second place ain't so bad. Yeah, it's pretty much what happened. That's what he said. Yeah. Awesome. It was awesome. It was awesome. Man. I don't know how we got here. Well, you don't know where we're based out of. Oh, yeah. I don't know how to answer that question. And when it comes from Tiger Woods, it really melts my brain.

I guess we can go through just like other big moments that happened. People haven't heard us since the Ryder Cup started. So, I mean, Friday to Sunday. So what I really would point towards. No hat, Pat. Yep. That guy's a problem. Savage.

Just stole it from Rory. Stole the no hat thing. Didn't rock a hat the entire week and just was a killer out there. Right, because there were other guys on at one point. Oh, did he? And then he played horrible and took that beanie off. Yeah. Right, because there were other guys out there who would not wear a hat sometimes and then put a hat on.

But Patrick Cantley, no hat, Pat, as we're calling him, he realized that he was having so much success with no hat. that you would not even be able to force a hat on that guy's head. Which, by the way, it's balls you to go winter cap to no hat all day. Like when you're on national TV. Because your hair looks all matted. Yeah, it's just kind of like... We're a pretty honest podcast here.

Like, we're talking about his hair. He looked horrendous without a hat on. Regardless of how many knitted hats he wore prior. Right. I mean, he came out of the locker room looking hideous. If we're being honest, Patrick Cantley without a hat is not a good-looking human being. want to be very candid here and honest again this is coming from a noted hat wear

I wear my hat every single second of the day you and me are huge hat guys so we get it has a feminine forehead there's a certain curvature to the top of my forehead right before the hair line that I just think is super feminine I like to hide that and I don't think Patrick Cantley is blind to

this but I think he knows that he was playing so well and people were calling him no hat pat that you got to ride it while it's hot I don't know how you play golf without a hat on all that sun like it's just so exposed you look up at the pin it's just like what the fuck like a hat is like i only started doing that recently and i really like it i really like it you see more like i don't i don't know i just feel more comfortable i mean it doesn't always work out as a guy who's allergic

to the sun like sometimes i get too much sun on my head and that gives me a really bad headache but i just feel more free um but patrick can't lay no hat savage every put he stood over every big put he stood over i knew he was going to make it and he usually did these a guy like that is just going to be on rider cups forever and he's going to be great on rider cups forever and I'm already thinking into the future where obviously on the PJ tour when he's playing he's going to be wearing a hat and people will be like oh yeah that's Patrick Cantley wearing a hat and then every time the rider cup rolls around he's going to walk out of that tunnel with no hat on and people are going to go fucking crazy a guy like that no hat pat he ain't wearing a fucking hat at the rider

cup next in row no way he'll never wear a hat again in a team event like that as long as he can back it up Look, like Rory played so poorly, you had to put a hat on. Yeah. So, I mean, at some points, you're going to come back to him. It's only cool until you're not scoring points. But right now, Patrick Cantley is scoring a lot of points. I got to say, I think the Bugs Spray really is doing a good job. Bugsray is so bad for you that the bugs literally fly away from it.

Right. What kind of chemicals do you have to put in bug spray that bugs are like, no. My whole existence, I'm just not going to do that anymore. If I suck on this guy's blood, it will be the best thing that's ever happened to me. but that stuff on him is so bad and so bad for me that I refuse to go near it. That's how bad this shit is that we just put on our skins. Our skin is like a living cell. And I got to tell you, it was worth it.

Isn't it your skin in Oregon? Yeah, absolutely. So it's like we're just... It's the largest organ you have. There's dumping fucking pesticides on it. But it was worth it. It is worth it. If I don't itch for the next 20 minutes, whatever is in me is in me.

Who else was great on Team USA? I mean, there obviously a lot of guys. DJ, Morikawa. We got some of a J.T. just finds a way, too, right? like we were talking about the first two days. They didn't necessarily have his best. You can tell at moments.

Like, not that he was terrible, but he wasn't, he was trailing a good amount, and he wasn't quite, them and speed lost their first match. The guy just finds a way. Like, on the 16th hole, I felt like he eagled it every day. I feel like he just kept eagle in 16 or setting somebody up, hitting a six shot, rallying the crowd, huge fist bumps, going ape shit. Like, he just figured out a way to be kind of that emotional lightning rod for the team. That's what he's great at.

And he's obviously a great golfer, but even when he's not playing his best, he's doing the little things like going crazy after a big put or slamming beers with Daniel Berger on the first tee during a session that he's not playing. Beer's. Huge. But like he knows what he is and what he can be to this Team USA Ryder Cup team. That it's like, I like that he understands his role and he's very, very good at. And if he plays really well,

he played really well today during the singles match, that's a huge bonus. But he is the emotional leader of this team. Should we move into the light? Sure. Are we idiots? Wait, how does it look on camera? You think a light's going to help us? We just do this, dude.

Frankie Breilly? I mean... Is that too close? Just lighting now. You know? I'm staying in the dark. Are we too close, though? No, he could just move the camera back, no.

All right. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. All right, we're getting a little improvement there. We got this, like... Wait, you got a light kit? He's got a light kit over there. I think we're okay now, no? I think we're okay.

You got a double light kit? No, I think we're okay. We're all right. We're almost getting through this whole thing anyways. Yeah, we appreciate it. I appreciate that. It's really nice. So for those who can't see off camera,

we got a nice fellow over here offered us a double light kit. Which is just something you usually don't have when you're just walking by another person. No. Who the hell? How many people you think have walked by that had a double light kit ready? Someone, a passerby just hears us complaining about no lighting. He goes, you guys need a double a kit? It's the first time it's happened to me.

Actually, we do. Oddly. We actually do need a double-a kit. First time it's happened to me, for sure. Um, JT. I love JT. You know, I flip-flopped on him a couple years ago. Never went back on him, so that's my hope for writing.

Happy game day, you guys. Yep. But then, ever since then, you know, I'm a huge fan of Justin Thomas. Love his fire, love his energy. Love to see what he did here at the Ryder Cup. You can tell it just clearly means a lot to him. There is a fine line between what he does being a hardo and also just like you accept. See, it depends on how you look at him.

You either accept what he's doing out here. for the Ryder Cup or you look at him like in a bad light or maybe you're like angry watching him and you're like this guy is a fucking hardo like asking the crowd I can't hear you you're down like you're down by fucking three holes yeah and there was a putt I forget

you haven't gotten a point in two days and you're screaming around it felt like an out of place celebration but I agree with you Frankie where I view him through the lens of he is the emotional leader of this team and that's just what he needs to do and I so I had this argument with my buddies where they're like I can't take JT anymore. It's like too much. Like, dude, just win a point and then go crazy. Like, you got guys like Tony Fee now, dog walking guys, and then he's doing all the things like the ears and he's

giving the fist bumps. He was awesome. Tony Fee now was electric in day one. And then all of a sudden you got JT doing the same thing and he's getting crushed. So it's like, hey, let's get a point. But for me, I argued like, hey man, a guy with that kind of fire might just be doing that to get back in it. If you don't show that fire, you just lose, I don't know, six and walking four. And I think that's what Tiger does. Like, I think Tiger even his individual rounds. I think he gives huge fist bumps. Even like he's too old. over, why don't you? Yeah. I think he needs to like build momentum. That's what JT did, I think. He's like fucking screaming like, let's go. That was it right now. It's almost like in a

baseball game where you're down five nothing and you hit like a two run home run. That's the turning point. Everyone in the dugouts like, okay, now we go. Yeah, we're down three and we shouldn't be like bat flipping, but like that was a moment. So I think JT tries to harness that. Does it always work? No, but it doesn't work for everyone every single time. So it worked this time around for everybody. It worked this time around. 19 to 9. Well, except for rakes. Slaughter by the water. Slaughter by the water. By the way. Those shirts are on sale, great call. Slaughter by the water shirts are on sale.

They're selling like hotcakes. They really are. Selling like pancakes. It's a good shirt. How come it's only hotcakes that sell a lot? I believe we might have done a Frankie Facken this while ago, or I just looked at myself where hot cakes were like a thing back in the 20s where they sold them on the streets.

They're selling like Jolly Ranchers. Somebody came up with it at a time when hotcakes were going fast. Jolly Ranchers, I feel like has a huge, huge... They're going like Jolly Ranchers? Yeah, you can just say anything is my point. That doesn't. Come on. Tic Tacs.

You're a real ass old will be started. How many tic tic tics are in the world? Do you many tic tacks are in the world? Probably more than hotcakes. Yeah, but I don't know that they go as fast as hot cakes. Oh, they fucking go. But I guess like-tick-tacks go? No.

Not like hotcakes. Not like hot cakes. I don't think, I don't know if I've seen anyone order a hotcake in my entire leg. When the last time you saw someone pop open and think of tick, it's like, all the time. Every gas station I go into or any sort of music. But they're sitting on the shelf. But they're still there. They're getting stocked all the time.

Once last time you saw someone eat a hot cake? I believe hot cakes are pancakes. Yeah. I've seen a lot of them. Yeah, they're pancakes. So essentially the theory I believe, Frankie, is like when somebody's having breakfast or something in the whoever's cooking is like breakfast is ready, like everyone just moves on those hot cakes. I'm looking it up. They're gone.

Just don't see that many people eating hot cakes. It's like because they're gone. You can't get them. All right. I know you never see anyone eating tic tic-tacks. I know you don't. It's a lie. When's the last time you watched someone actively eat tic tic tic tach?

Did I pick the wrong product while I'm falling down the fucking hill? Sure. Okay, here we go. That's the speed gift. You're the speith gift now. The phrase, selling like hotcakes, originated in the 1800s when simple cornmeal versions were sold at church bake sales and snapped up by the congregation before they went cold. I knew it was a super old thing.

Pancakes in the 1800s? Why did you laugh at the 1800s? There's a time just like our time. Here we go. The reason why we brought up selling like hotcakes is because this new Slaughter by the water shirt is out. We've got a T-shirt with the original design on there from Whistling Strait, Slaughter by the Water's got the score. It's got the score on the bottom, the final match score. Then we have a drawing, illustration, a work of art.

Go to Barstall Sports Store. Go to our Twitter. You're going to see us promoting it. It's right there. If they haven't sold out by now, these things are going like fucking hotcakes. Tic Tacs. Shout out to Megan, this artist we have. Yeah, it must be an artist.

I mean, she drew a masterpiece within 10 minutes of a USA bag, and she drew her own version of Whistling Straits in the background. This is like, I mean, you could buy a masterpiece. like a Monet on a hoodie on the Barstle Sports store. That's how good this is. It's one of the best pieces of artwork I've ever seen in my entire life. I will now frame that picture that she put on because it has slaughter

by the water. It has the final results. So go to the Barstall Sports store. Go get yourself a hoodie, a crew neck, a long sleeve shirt. Anything that you want, it's all on there. Just have to plug that. Shout out Megan, this amazing designer. Savant. What's your guys, you guys, orange Tick-Tac, guys? I'm a...

White. I'm a white. Because they oddly have like they're supposed to have no taste but they have a good taste to them. I thought they were a sort of spearmint. No, but the green is a spearmint, right? White ones. What does that mean? Huh? What did you say?

What did you say? Oh, I guess they're green ones. I do, um, I do, like, green ones? Yeah, I'll be honest, I think the only ones are ever had of the orange ones. That seems very weird. Really? Yeah. I mean, right, aren't, isn't the orange tic tic is like a novelty thing?

I, I don't know. I can't speak on orange tic Tacs. Because nobody ever sees or buys them, so I never know. I picked their own. I was falling down the hill like Jordan Speeth on 17. Was that Friday? Friday. He hits this ball into the fucking moon on this shot that no one could ever imagine ever hitting.

Justin Thomas put him in a bad spot as he was mainly doing in those four balls. Man, was that one of the craziest things I've ever seen on a golf course. The tracer on that shot was insane. And he almost ran into Lake Michigan. He did, yeah. Real chance he did. Yeah, if he wasn't able to stop his momentum like 10 feet before he did. his ankles are wet.

Somebody had a really funny tweet, and I wish I could remember who it was. I swear I'm blanking on this. No, it wasn't you. I don't often laugh at your tweets. The MG4 X2 is the newest footwear release from G4. Oh, we're right into an adorn. Let me tell you something.

I'm wearing it right now. You know, G4 continues to just move in the game, in the footwear game. They continue to advance to improve, to bring the coolest shit that you've ever seen, right? like golf cleats, golf shoes were so like stale and overdone and lame for decades it feels like. Like our dad's, no offense. Just wore the same lame kind of golf shoes for decades and decades until G4 came along.

Their new MG4X2 is a true cross trainer perfect for on the course in the office. Everywhere in between this shoe is waterproof. It's lightweight. provides all day support. The molded heel cut prevents heel slip and provides superior comfort. These things are the most comfortable shoes on the planet. They're so comfortable. In fact, I lost my shoes at Bandon Dunes.

So whoever ends up going to the Lost and Found at Bandon Dunes and gets a 10.5 old pair of Nikes. High tops, they're there for you to take. Let them know that I let you, maybe you can play this piece of audio. They're allowed to take my shoes because I'm never going. I'm never going to get those shoes back. I had no more shoes at Bannon Dunes. So I wore these MG4s, MG4s or MG4 pluses?

Well, it's a good question. There's MG4s. There's MG4 pluses. Okay. The new ones, which I don't think you have yet, are the MG4X2s. Okay, no. These are the MG4 pluses, I believe. And they're all white.

And I literally wore them as though they were sneakers. I wore them to the airport. I wore them to dinner every single night at Bandon. I wore them around the house whenever I needed to go somewhere in the backyard. No one noticed. Like being able to wear these things in public and no one noticing that they're not golf shoes. and then you go onto the golf course and everyone's like, dude, those are sick golf shoes.

That's how you know you have the best of all the worlds. The foam cushioned insul provides an unbeatable massage with every single step. That's true. Go from street to the course with ease, as Frankie just described. Check out g4.com slash 4 for 10% off your first order. Again, you go to g4.com slash 4. You get 10% off your first order. That is g-f-O-R-E.com slash 4 for 10% off your first order.

Shane Lowry, you got to give a shout out to him. On this very green that we stand upon right now, he had, I would say, the main highlight for Europe. Like someone's logged into my Twitter account. Come on. What? Because all my tweets have been getting liked for the last, like, hour. My own tweets.

What are you talking about? I keep going on my profile, and all my tweets are liked. By yourself? By myself. And I'm not doing that. So it's almost like someone's on my account by accident, just liking all my tweets. You sure you didn't like all your own tweets?

I promise you. Did you tweet? tweet something horrible that you didn't tweet? Is that what you're trying to do right now? I promise you that hasn't happened and I'm about to just change my password. Yeah, Shane Lowry, when he... And Skeel's trying to come back. They got you right in the forehead.

Before you cut me off for that ad read, someone had a funny tweet saying... No, the ad read's over. We finished the ad read like minutes ago. I know. But you cut me off when I was saying... Oh, sorry. The Jordan Speed thing. Someone had a very funny tweet about if the producer in the truck for the Ryder Cup

had a extremely difficult decision on whether you stay on George Smith. It was Max Homa. Fucking, of course it was. Max Homa was saying Jordan Speeth running into Lake Michigan or you show one of the best

recovery shots of all time at the Ryder Cup. Oh, true. And he like, you could tell they didn't know what to do. Like, dude, they cut away from Jordan Speat full on sprinting at Lake Michigan and then they just cut to the green.

You have no idea. When they cut back, we could have just seen him floating in the ocean in the fucking the ocean. ocean in the lake. Ooh, like, wait, good thing you caught yourself. Yeah, Lake Michigan. Because it's not the ocean.

It should be an ocean. We're not even close to the ocean. Yeah, it was an awesome moment, and it was an awesome shot. JT missed the putt, unfortunately. But, yeah, we'll see that clip forever. Because you watch, they put a tracer on it, and you can't believe how high the the tracer goes. Like, you think it's fake.

That was shocking, too me. I didn't think he hit it that high. I didn't know you could hit it that high. Right. And then why is he hit that high? Like, I obviously it worked, but, like, his thought was like, I'm going to hit this super fucking high. Why are these guys so good with stuff like that? I asked Trent

that when we were watching Scotty Sheffler when he was underneath the bush on like, it was on the back nine, but he ended up hitting this like left-handed with a right-handed club kind of knockout shot onto the green. I'm like I understand why they are the best

golfers in the world when it's golf. When it's a ball on a fairway in the rough in the fucking weeds in the bunker, putting. But when it's in a in an outrageous spot, why are they still able to do the unbelievable thing? They're never practicing that. You don't become a pro at hitting that Jordan Speath shot.

That's the first time he's ever attempted that. And what I said, and I don't know if it's right or not, but I just feel like they spend so much time with a golf ball and have hit so many golf balls that even if they hit a shot that they've never hit before, they know how to get club on ball and just hope for the best. Like, nobody practices the shot that Speath hit. Certainly nobody practices.

This is the shot that Sheffler hit. But, like, they're just, this is all they do all the time, all day long, every day, is hit golf balls. So if they're like, oh, that golf ball is kind of under a bush, I'm going to have to hit it lefty. I got to get club on ball and hopefully gets out of there. And they, at least, they have a significantly more acute sense of what the ball is going to do. Right. Than anybody else in the world. Agreed.

So they're not right all the time. Sometimes they must. But there can at least, George Meath can at least be like, all right, uphill lie, lofted club. I have to swing really hard because otherwise it's not going to get through this grass. Yep. And like, I think this is about how hard I need to swing. And like, because he's done it so much because his judgment is so good that he can get closer than most people, like, a way higher percentage chance of the time. But you also saw, like, I think JT was in that exact same spot like the next day.

And like he just buried one into the, into the hills. Oh, yeah, two of them. I mean, you would think they've hit every bunker shot in the world. They got caught in a couple of spots during one of the days where they just had to pick up. They're like, we can't get out of this bunker. So, yeah, there is a flip side to it, but I do think, I think we're getting to the same thing where it's like, they just know what the ball is probably going to do far more than the average guy. One of the things that made Whistling a great Ryder Cup venue is that these guys were finding themselves in positions that no one ever sees pro golfers get into.

I mean, it was nonstop balls up against lips, guys hitting the ball backwards. I mean, Victor Hovlin, like, hit a four-inch shot backwards in the bunker just to then, like, skull one back over the green. It was, I've, and then especially in four-ball, when they, when these guys are, they're just picking up in the bunker. I've never, like, it was like me and my buddies out there. You know what? I can't get out of this thing. Right. You guys go ahead.

We've taken two to three wax at it. You guys just win. It's a classic, like, you're down one, and then you do that, and you just go, two down. You know, you're just done. Let's just go to the next day. Let's talk about gimmies for a second Because that was a hot topic during this At one point, Bryson DeCambeau put his club down on the ground

JT really started it, didn't he? Oh yeah, JT started it, which he did at the President's Cup too. There's the same almost identical image of him doing it at the President's Cup in 2019. I think my general take on a gimmie is like you should never ever complain about not being given a gimmie because like just make it. Or you should have hit it closer. Yeah, like, there's no rule that says you have to give somebody a put ever.

Well, the problem is if you just gave someone something similar, it's insanity to not give them the put back. Yeah, that does get drinking. Right, and that's what I saw people on Twitter being like, let's get rid of this, let's put everything out. I very much disagree with that. No chance. Because that, that scenario that you just painted Frankie where it's like, you know, they just gave us that, do we give them this? Like, and then when that kind of goes haywire, that's where the best shit happens. Like, we're just putting everything out.

Then there's no drama gets built. Maybe drama gets built anyway by the nature of matches, but that extra little layer of like, are we going to give them that put? And then if you don't and the guy thought that you should have given it to him, that's great. I think that's great. I do too.

I think, look, gimmies are always going to be a part of its match fights that we all play every weekend when you play a little match play against your boys, so gimmies need to be a part of it. I'll just never understand the, like, complaining about a gimmee not being given because it's like, I don't know. It just seems to me just make it. Like if you just, if it's so close that you can't believe, they didn't give it to you, then just go through your routine,

knock it in it, it didn't change anything. That is the right attitude, but I like when guys get upset. Yeah, it's okay. Lowry did it. I think Lowry at one point putt it down. Everybody's putting their putters on the ground. Yeah, they're all doing the inside the leather thing. It is. It's funny when Bryson puts his down because his putter's like 10 feet tall.

It's 10 feet long. But yeah, no, you should just make putts if they're going to not do the gimmee, but I like when guys get upset. That's kind of the best part of match plays. Also, is there anything better than playing and somebody tells you it's good? Oh, my God. Best feeling ever. Oh, thank God.

When you're just like, I was going to miss that 10 out of 10 times. So thank you. I just don't want to do it. I don't want to have to go mark it and line it up and read it and then maybe miss it. You just, like, allowed me to complete this operation on this hole, which is all I wanted. Thank you. As amateur golfers and people that really aren't good, if you string together a couple of good shots, hit a great drive, second shot, hit the green, third putt, had a good roll,

goes to two or three feet, whatever it is, two. feet you got to give the person it's a reward happens it's a reward you played this whole fantastic i'm not going to let you ruin it with some shitty put that you never get to practice because you play once a week or once every couple of weeks it really does bring in like social feel into it as well like like that what you're saying where you hit a bunch of good shots and then you got a put that's a bit of a tweener and they're just like that one's good you're like all right we're friends we get it also there's times and places for it like me and my buddies in that infamous good good situation right and wanted to destroy each other and we wanted to win there was a very

heated match. My buddy gives the guy a good good. I thought that he shouldn't have given it to him. I thought he should have waited. It was a whole fucking thing. That's a fun element. It adds a lot of things to it. So, yeah, I definitely am a fan of it. You said Shane Lowry before. Shane Lowry had maybe the best moment of the

Ryder Cup prior to, like, everything that happened today. Yeah, I agree. Like that Saturday reaction when he made that pot. I didn't know the big man could do that. Tits jiggling all over the place. His body's fucking going crazy. He's got everyone shutting up. He's screaming at everybody. awesome moment. Picture of his dad in the background.

That was like witnessing the whole thing. How can you hate Shane Lauer? And then him and Tierra Hasing each other. They're both just like kind of... They're kind of barrel chest and big guys. So when they hug, it's like when Tommy Boy hugs big Tom Callahan in that movie where they're just like, brah. It's just two big dudes. Yeah, I love Shane Lauer.

Tear Lattin psychopath. I think he's probably a real life psychopath. They did a like a hyper highlight like cut thing where they were just showing all of the times he smacked himself as putter and looked up at the sky. Dude, there was one time where they were showing the guys coming up the fairway, and he's in the background. They were not trying to go on him, and he's in the background, this little, he was so far back, hundreds of yards back, and he's just looking at the sky,

just going like this to God. His arms were like, what the fuck? Looking at him, like, are you happy now to God? He's a man. He's a lunatic. He's a crazy person. He's, yeah. No, he's got some, he's got some fire.

He's got some great, great clips of him. And you know you're a little bit... Wait a minute, sorry. Why aren't you wearing that hat right now? I feel like you should be wearing that. What? That Lee Westwood's son gave Riggs that fucking hat because... Where are our fucking Barstool Golf hat?

Oh, here we go. You just can't... Give the backstory on it. Someone came... I just noticed it, sorry. So I don't know where that came from. I don't know whose head that was on. It was on Lee Westwood's son's head.

Look at this. The team Europe had. He goes, hey, my name's Sam. I know... Because I know Riggs is a big fan of us, so I figured I'd give a... my hat, which is very nice. Maybe you double up.

So you can do both? I just think you gotta wear fucking Team Europe, man, you know? I wish you didn't tell me what I have to wear. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Well, you don't. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. You guys gonna go out of it again?

I won't tell you what to wear anymore. I thought it would be funny. Okay. So wait. Here we go. It's going to be funny. Yeah, it's Team Europe hat. Yeah, that actually, you actually should put that out. We should have been wearing it the whole time, honestly. I'll put it on.

We'll make you happy. I don't want to go in circle. It's getting weird again. Then after an ad read, we'll make up. It's like now it's getting weird. We're actually done with ad reeds. You don't have to put the hat on rigs. Let me wear the hat, Frankie?

I actually do now as you were wearing it from the beginning. Like you should have been wearing it the whole time. Honestly, a really good hat. Pretty good hat. It's not. I'll say the yellow up here is bright when you're wearing it. Pretty natural. Oh, yeah.

But it's nice. Yeah. Can we make this the podcast cover of him wearing Team Europe? Thank you. They also gave me when I did the European Rider Cup. hit a couple days ago. They gave me one of the Europe beanies.

Those are sick. The white ones. Yeah. The USA ones are awesome too. I got one right here. There you go. They're fine. I was a little warm

otherwise I'd put it on. I'm not going to put it on. It's too warm. Too hot. I did cut you guys off whatever you guys talking back. I don't remember. Tyrol.

Shane Lowry. Love Shane Lowry. I had something else. I forgot. I forgot. Coverage. A lot of people were upset about the coverage. We weren't showing enough shots.

There were, you know, for an event where there's not a ton of matches going on at any given time, especially during the first two days, there were stretches where we just didn't see guys. There was the stretch on Saturday, I want to say, which is insane. Where we didn't see Justin Thomas for two hours. Justin Thomas and Cantlay and Cantlay were tied at like whole 15. It was a huge match. Huge comeback. JT had been fist bumping, screaming at the crowd.

They didn't show them all day long. We're literally having to go on the laptop to see where their putts were going. The only time, were they facing Fleetwood? Oh. Remember we kept saying every time we see this match, it's just Tommy Fleetwood. Was it Hovlin? Oh, yeah, it's Tommy Fleetwood. Yeah, it's Fleetwood and Hovlin.

Every time they cut to them, Fleetwood was putting to, like, tie the hole. And you never know what happened prior. Like, what did JT do? What did Hovlin do? What did Fleetwood do? Had they get there and they just never showed you. And it really gets highlighted in an event where you want to see everything, right? because like a normal tour event, there's only like two or three guys you really want to watch that are either contention or big names or whatever.

So like they kind of can show all that. You don't really notice it. It's background noise. You could be on Twitter. This, like you wanted, there's only four matches. So you really wanted to know all the time. How was it going? Yeah.

And you just couldn't know, I feel. So a lot of people, we were here. So it's like we were trying to watch some of the coverage in the media center. Sometimes we were out on the course. So we weren't fully in tune with what everybody else was experiencing it. But when we were, it was very annoying. And it seems like people were rattled about it. It was the inconsistency that was frustrating because,

Sometimes you would see Justin Thomas hitting shots and be like, all right, now I'm into this match. Let's see what happens. They're all tied up. Only a couple holes to go. And then they disappear for an hour. So it wasn't like they were never showing them. It's that they would show them. And then they would disappear to a degree where you're like, I don't even know where that match is at anymore.

And that's what was frustrating. That's what was frustrating. Let's have some common sense. It has a feel. We need some feel in the production truck of like, all right, this match means nothing right now. It's going to be over. They're up three. They're four up with six to play.

JT is tied on 15, and you're showing an interview of Tony Fee now who won like four and three against Rory McRae. Like, no one cares about that interview right now. That tight, tied match, you want to watch him walk up the fair way. You want to see like his emotions, his thoughts. Is he happy about the lie? Sad about the lie. What's he going to hit? Is he debating?

Is he talking with his caddy? You want to see everything. You don't see the fan as like the director. You know what I mean? Like, oh, we want to see that. Like, what's happening in that JT match? You don't want. It's like when people talk about football.

coaches using timeouts at the wrong time or kicking a field goal at the wrong time, they want to be like, I play Madden all the time, so let me figure this out. It's similar to that where it's like, I'm a fan. Let me in that control room and let me tell you what is the best thing on what people want to see right now. We are the ones that you're trying to make happy. So we know what we want. We will let you know how to make us happy. We're just going to do it.

We're a fan consultant. Exactly. Just show more golf. Show more meaningful golf. That's all we ask. Meaningful golf. I think that's right. I think it's fair.

Yeah. All right, fellas. It's honestly hard to wrap my head around anything else that had happened right now while we're standing on the screen for the last two hours. Or how long has it been going on for? About two hours. An hour and a half? A buck 20? Oh, so not that long.

We're getting this thing out tonight, though? Oh, yeah, it's going right. All right. Any other big, big moments that we just haven't really talked about? I mean, I'm fair. Team USA won by, you know, 19 to 9. That's true. That happened.

That was a big one. Brooks and Bricon got along. Briggs was completely wrong. Yeah. We could go over the. that again. How do you not know the things with Brooke, the thing with Brooks and Bryson, I wonder if part of Bryson was relieved when he got here because, oh, here's what I want to talk about.

Brooks and the rule official. Ooh, good one. That was, that was madness. Spicy. It was spicy. Real spicy. Because he was sort of going after a rules official about whether or not he could hit this ball and was he going to hurt his wrists.

There was a sewage drain. There was a, there was all this going. on, Sergio standing over the ball, like, oh, what can you do? They're bringing over an official. Sergio spit out his water at one point. And then another official. And Brooks has really just given it to these two officials. They said it was a European tour official, which I don't think Brooks really liked.

Right. So he's giving them all this shit and they're arguing about, can I come down on this ball without, you know, breaking my wrist? And then at one point, as the rules officials were walking away, he points at both of them and he says, if I break my wrist, this is on fucking both of you. Which is, that's just an interesting thing to say to people. But then I had people tweeting to me being like, this is awesome. I love that Brooks has given this fire, that he's doing this right now. And I hate to compare Bryson and Brooks anymore. I want to be done doing that.

But I'm going to do it right now. If Bryson did that, people would want him kicked out of the country. I thought that was a tough look for Brooks. They would have asked, like, Stricker did not play Bryson the next day. They would have been like, can we just go with 11 tomorrow on Sunday singles if you've done that? Right. And it's like, you know, we talk about Bryson and Brooks all the time. And we've kind of come around on Bryson.

and Brooks is just, he's Brooks, he's never going to change, it's just who he is. But like, to look at that and not even for a second, look at it through like, oh, I wonder if Bryson did the same thing, how would I react? People would freak out. But like I said, on Twitter, people were like, I love this fire from Brooks. This is awesome. We've seen this a lot.

It wasn't double standard. We saw it exactly last year with Patrick Cantlay and Rory McElroy, where they were like fiddling around with their balls. Rory did it at the same time, the same tournament. Oh, Patrick Green. Oh, Patrick Reed, sorry, not kind of late, Patrick Reed. There's just double standards in golf. That's just like, however your reputation is, your reputation is. And people obviously had prior to this a really bad taste in their mouth when it came to Bryce and Deschambeau.

And they have an awesome taste in their mouth. It's like hotcakes when it comes to Brooks Keppka. So they're always going to give them the benefit of the doubt. I thought it was a super bad look. He kept saying to the guy, too, like, did you see what happened a couple weeks ago when I hit the route? And it's like, the rule isn't based on what happened to you a couple of weeks. weeks ago. Right.

Like, the rule is based on they had two different rules officials who came in. Both of them are by all measures, otherwise it wouldn't be here, like objective. And they both are like, yeah, no, I get what you're saying. But no, that's not grounds for relief. Sorry, play the ball as it is. And then for him to go that far and curse him and say, like, it's on fucking both you and pointed at each one of them. Crazy. I thought it was a pretty crazy look.

And I don't think people are talking about it. No. The thing that's crazy about it, too, is like, all right, the rule states that if it would be in his swing. They said that if he took a regular swing, the sewage drain would not come into play on his follow-through. That's literally what they said. He's saying, and Daniel Berger was like, are you guys understanding? They were talking super down to these guys, being like, if he wants to hit it on the side of the green that he wants to, then it's absolutely going to come into play.

But I don't think the rule then comes into that, like, where you want to hit it and how you want to hit it and where you want to come in and how steep you're going to come in. I think it's just a pretty plain rule. I think Brooks then, because he hit the shot there, has to, like, change his swing or, like, try and not break his wrist. And, like, now maneuver his way around it because they've said it can't come through on a normal swing. He actually said, so I think one of the officials was like, well, don't try and break your wrist. And he goes, oh, I'm not going to try, bro. I ain't going to try, bro.

And it just got really weird, man. He was just classic, like, Brooks kept out better than you mentality. And listen, I don't, yeah, I don't want to hate on Brooks or anything. Yeah, no, totally. But like that, if we're going to just take that event in a silo on its own thing that happened. It was a very much like, I thought it was kind of tough look. I thought it was kind of tough look. They were saying he kept being like, have you seen me hit balls?

And that's when the marshal was like, yeah, many times. That's what Sergio, like, spit out his water and was, like, laughing. So the whole thing, you're right. Have you ever seen me hit a ball before? Yeah. Nuts. And the guy's like, yeah, I have. And Sergio, that made Sergio literally laugh so hard he spit his water out.

And the whole weird scene. It was weird. It was bizarre. Weird. But again, I also don't want to bring down the mood because Team E. age of one. Fair. Can't end on that.

We're going to have to think of something positive. All right. I know. Hit it hard. I know. Great show. People probably screaming at us into their phones right now. I mean, there were so many moments that it's hard to pick just one.

It is. A dominant moment for team. When we get back to our home base, we'll be able to, like, really, really in. New York City? No, so that may be. Our home base might be Plymouth until tomorrow. See, now you guys are messing with my brain. I don't know.

Resounding win. The resounding win, you know, Whistling Straits has been incredible. The future is bright for Team USA. We've been saying in Plymouth. The traffic was insane on day one. It's gotten better since then, so I don't have a sour taste in my mouth about that. I'm trying to think of anything else. The course is awesome, you know.

The merch is awesome in the merch tent. I love going here and getting some Whistling Straits, Rider Cup merch. I got a couple hats in there. Our merch is awesome on the Barstall Sports Store. Slaughter by the water. Slaughter by the water. One of the best things. Hit it hard.

No, no, no. No, no. No. Rick Harts Stool was as wrong as someone can possibly be about a specific event. So you're now, are you back with us? Or like, what's your current allegiance? That's a confusing place to be in, to be honest. That's a really good point.

We should have brought that about an hour ago. Right. You go from here. Right. You think you're just going to be a presidents cup guy and you're just going to be like, I'm in the international team. I've got to find a home somewhere. I will say.

He uses international tease. Trevor Oman sent me a bunch of. of international team stuff. But no, I'm team USA. He was using international teas. All right. They're pretty cool. They are, but I mean, it's just classic you to like not have a USA fucking.

Actually, surprised you didn't make a bigger thing out of it in real time. I should have. I couldn't, I think I hit a ball out of bounds when I did it. So I was like, didn't care. Thank you all the troops and all of USA. Team USA. Trent and I really appreciate. Well, thank you also to the troops.

And all the service. I got a lot of DMs of people like overseas being like, this is sad to see. I'm over here. I did. Yeah, 19 to 9. How many? I got one guy.

They wanted to make a video at his barrack being like, I can't believe Riggs is abandoning us. I thought that took it too far. That would have been tough. I was like, dude, I think he still likes the country. It's just like a Twitter thing. I appreciate that. I did not do that. I'll say I've gotten some of the, by far the most violent negative shit I've ever got.

You turn your back on the country, so that makes sense. It was a strong stance. That drunk tweet was. was crazy. People were DMing me like, a few of them like, bro, when I ever see I'm going to knock you the fuck out, you traitor. It's not good. I'm going to fucking cut you. USA. Bro, USA. It's not like USA people are like, like they're fucking passionate. Very like, like I, in your face, USA people are scary. Yeah, I agree with that. Yeah, it was a strong stance, dude. I think, and that's why I said, do you regret it? You say no. It's just, yeah. It was, I don't know where you go from here.

Where do we go from here? I don't know. All I know is, It was fun to root for Team USA this. Genuinely. And that's not just trying to make it rubbing your face. I genuinely had a lot of fun. Because we were watching it. We're reacting. At one point,

we were in the media tent watching. And I can't remember what. Scotty Sheffler. No, no. It was the J.T. Are you not entertained? Oh, yeah, yeah. We made that put.

Frankie and I screamed to the media center. And people were like, get these guys out of here. Dude, the media center is for the fucking birds sometimes. And thank you for giving us media credentials, by the way. But it's for the birds sometimes, man. they, this one guy, so there's a radio section where I guess people from all over, like, there's like guys from all different countries going live from inside the media tent.

One guy opened up his show like, it's Friday and like screamed a little bit, but I guess he does that every Friday. It's almost like a Mike and the, oh my God, the light just went out. It's almost like the mad dog, how he goes, ah, good afternoon, everybody. He goes nuts. Anyway, this guy does this. This guy does this. He goes, it's Friday. He goes, it's Friday.

And the whole media tent goes, and they all take their headphones off. Clutching their pearls. And this one guy's pointing at him like, it was him. And they're all like, yeah, like literally going, yeah. Well, what is that? Same thing happened to us when we chew for the jacist. I'm writing something.

That's literally what they're doing, do they couldn't believe it. You wonder why we get the back row with these things. Yeah, no, literally it's all way back. In my life, I don't know. They make an extra backrope. I don't need that shit in my life, man. I don't need that stuff. Like, that guy's just doing his show.

You can't have one peep happening while you run. It's Friday. It was over. And then he was just into a show. And then when Colin Morcau was secured the half point that was going to give US 14 and a half, like there's collapse in the media center. People are excited. Right.

It should be. Right. Right. They think it's supposed to be like unbiased reporting. And there's like this hierarchy to generalism. Frank and I are yelping at JT's sinking a pub. Oh my God. going crazy. It's good.

Sounds fun. All right. That's a better way to end it. Hey, I got one. Steve Stricker. Do you want to apologize to him? No, I want to highlight his speech. The speech he gave out here was really nice. When he said, when he said, I didn't win a major, this is my major, I thought I was going to start crying. He never won a major, this is my major? I think that was, that's the line. I don't remember. I was a mic drop of the whole week. Out of all the people here at Whistling Strach, do you think you were the most

disrespectful to him in your assessment? Big time. He's the guy when I saw him and his like soft innocent features that he kind of has when he walks around and he's just like innocent nice and like Wisconsin nice and I walked by I just felt bad because I just thought he was like an idiot totally didn't he was going to ruin the whole team you literally said like he doesn't have any concept of how to like win because he didn't change the team yeah and then he just was up there cry and talking about how this is his major and his team 119 and that was a I felt I do I should apologize to Captain Stisher. I think you should personally apologize. Yeah, if I see him, I'll apologize. I sent that a tweet

being like, hey, since Riggs doesn't have your back, we do, and he liked it. He also did like that. That was, I thought somebody fucked me because one of the tweets of JT, or no, the tweet that I put out saying I was wrong, somebody responded to it being like, love to see this at Steve Stricker retweet on this, and I thought he retweeted

it, and I was like, oh my God, but he didn't. No. Shout out to Zach Johnson. He had a great week, too. Ugh. Who? He had a great week. He was here? He was out there in moral support. He was hitting Brooks kept on the butt after a big putts. He just did a bang-up job, I thought. He's just there. He's just here.

Dylan DeCare. Also, thank you for coming on our show last week. Dylan's great. Or last show. He's like, this is such a weird event because you have like Jordan Speeat hitting wedge shots at the short range with just Zach Johnson standing over and watching. And it's true. He just stands there and watches these guys warm up.

I don't think he says a word. He's one of the great wedge players in the game. Okay, here we go. That is weird, isn't it? Again, we're ending it on negative shit. You can't be bright. I'm ending it on a positive. All right. Zach Johnson.

Just the creep. Is that how you to end this show? Yeah. Because I think it puts the two of you against me, and I think we probably need a little bit of that. It's a good one. This is our victory. Oh, yeah, no. Jerk to the rules official.

Team USA. Hit it hard. Team USA all the way. 19 and 9. Trent, let me finish us off here. No, that was, it's just a great win, a punishing wind, a dominant win. Shout out to Team USA. Great week.

That's right. And Grizzly Adams did have a beard. What? What do you say? That was a 90. Me Me a 90 shit. Good work. We haven't done one other segment.

I said you got to scream it, though. Grizzly Adams did have a beer. Yeah. That's a good way of that radio voice in there. Yeah, we haven't done a single other segment. Ebug works for like News 12 sometimes. He's like just on the news. He's also the ebug of the New York Islanders this year again.

Congratulations. He's going to be picking his games. He's going to be the extra goalie for the New York Islanders. I forget that that's a real thing sometimes. I think the Allenders just like dog walked again. I mean, I've been using that term a lot this week. I think they dogwalk the Rangers tonight. So my life is just kind of looking pretty good.

I mean, it's preseason, but it's just like, yeah. It's better than that way. Back to winning. Brock Nelson scored the first goal, I missed a tweet. It's unfortunate. He also asked me to get him a hat here from Westing Strait, and I didn't. You want this one? No, thank you.

No, he's an American hero. Hit it hard. Hit it hard. Hit it hard.
