Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, 4Play listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Foreplay, I'm sorry, Barstool Sports. We are back. It's Waste Management Week, so we got a lot to get to. A lot of energy, Scottsdale. Lurch is in Scottsdale now, I believe. Is that correct, Lurch?
Starting point is 00:00:20 That's correct. And there is so much energy in this place. I mean, it's packed. And, like, you know, you show up to a town. You're like, all right, there's going to be a thousand rental cars. I mean, that place looked like a bomb went off in terms of the rental cars. It's just everywhere. There's like soda camps is all over the floor.
Starting point is 00:00:36 People are just finding the last car ever and getting out of the waste management. And then everybody I talked to was like, yeah, you're going to be there. You're going to be there. You're going to be there. You're going to be there. And then obviously you were there yesterday, Riggs, and it looked like a phenomenal day that you had. Yeah, yesterday, Tuesday. I mean, there's a lot of people already, tons of people at the event.
Starting point is 00:00:55 There are rumors, whispers that they're going to have 400,000, thousand people there over the weekend and that they're trying to have over a million people spectators throughout the entire week. So obviously Monday through Sunday. That's just a lot of fucking people. That's just a lot of people to get into an event. And it's great. I mean, it's been a few years since waste management's been full. They had last year when Brooks Kepka won, there were some fans, but it wasn't quite the same. It was very much watered down. Now it's back. It's full-fledged. This town's been preparing for it for a while. And, actually see it and see the town and see every single restaurant reservations you can't get
Starting point is 00:01:34 all the traffic lights where all of a sudden you usually could just buzz right through now again there's just backed up um so there's people fucking everywhere and it's waste management week yesterday was awesome uh went out there really no plan no goal we've talked a lot about pGA tour tournaments and access which we don't really have a ton we can't put out much in videos and and whatever we do were problematic and the PGA tour is very protective of broadcasting rights. We don't go to a ton of tour events. But yesterday, just having a credential being out there with Kiz and Chappi for the first nine holes that they played.
Starting point is 00:02:08 And Bill Haas, who's a super nice guy. He came over, introduced himself. And then once again, it was one of those where he knew a bunch of Parsley references, videos that he'd seen references for the podcast. So we'll have to get him on. But incredibly nice guy. And Kiz was out there, you know, with Chappell, hitting it 30, 40 yards behind him and like winning holes and chirp it as hard as he could.
Starting point is 00:02:31 So yeah, it was great to see Dewey, great to see the boys. And then as soon as they finished up, I jump over. And there's like Pat Perez and Tony Fee now. And P.P. is like, oh, yeah, Rixie jumping with us. So you're just walking inside the roads with them. Everybody's here. Fucking everybody's here. And then last night went to Joel Damon had Taco Tuesday at his house.
Starting point is 00:02:53 So like Max, he invited Max over. The Postman was over there. So I just sat and Joel Damon's backyard having tacos with Max and the postman. And Joel, his caddy Gino, who's the man, they're playing like Cornhole. It's just like a fantasy land out here this week. It's overwhelming. Any interactions with Tony while you were out there? Not a time.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Because we've had limited interaction with him. Very. It was, it's like, he was, you know, very tight with the whole crew that I was with. But you never want to get involved in somebody's process. Like when they're preparing for a golf tournament, you kind of just stay out of the way. I almost leave the onus on them in that situation
Starting point is 00:03:35 to sort of like make eye contact and like initiate an introduction or something. So I mostly just kind of stayed out of the way, hung around Pat. So I didn't really chat with him much. I would say like nice shot. Shit when he had a really good shot. He'd be like, thanks, bro, little stuff like that. But nothing substantial. Yeah, it'd be.
Starting point is 00:03:52 And then, you know, nice shot, Tony. Nice shot, buddy. I was just doing that the whole time. Oh, yeah, nice shot again. Like, dead fucking straight. That's great. But then that 18-year-old from ASU, Preston, Summerhase is in their group, too. And he is just a fucking stick. This guy, this kid is, so on Monday, hit it to like an inch on 16.
Starting point is 00:04:15 And 16 is still already pretty full. There's fans out there. It's intimidating. There's fucking music when you walk through the tunnel. And then yesterday he was piping his driver on 14, I believe it is, like 490 yard par 4, very tough hole. He outdrove Tony Fee now by probably 15 yards. Whoa. So I know the college kids can uncork it, though.
Starting point is 00:04:37 And usually the pros, they say they try to shorten it up. Yeah. But that's crazy. Dude, he was piping the golf ball. He was locked in. He didn't seem to give a fuck about the fanfare. And, you know, he's an ASU guy. So like everybody's chirping at them.
Starting point is 00:04:53 You know, like half the fucking people there are ASU people. So they know who he is. They know he's this 18 year old stud. He's a freshman at ASU. And he was out there. He's a fucking freshman at ASU. And he was out there just still riping the golf ball. It was really, really cool.
Starting point is 00:05:09 How good of a life is that? Freshman at ASU and you're playing in the waste management open. I mean, what a recruiting pitch that is. Because I don't think there's a tournament that's done it better. Like, yeah, we dogg on the John Deere and rightfully so. But like, you talk about this echelon of tournaments. Like, I'm so fired up for the waste management. Like, it's, yeah, that we, I think, has everybody played the golf course?
Starting point is 00:05:31 No. No. I think the golf course is pretty good. It's not like epic, epic, epic, but the stands and what they've built around it makes it, it's like I can't miss a event. I mean, it's so good. Like, I'm so pumped up for this weekend's golf tournament. There were a lot of the players, too, talking to them.
Starting point is 00:05:48 They are excited because of that, right? Like, you know, we talk a lot about how we get excited and 16 and people are drunk and they're booing and we get excited for that. You know, it's the people's open. It's cool to hear them get excited and especially after COVID. Like a lot of them were saying, you know, a ton of our events don't have that much energy. Even we were out at Tori Pines. Like there's not that much energy. There's not that many fans.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Yeah, when you get the last couple groups and you get a congregation of a lot of people, you could feel a bit of energy. But overall, it's a little bit kind of dumb down. and it has been since COVID. The waste management, it feels like, is just rocking already. It's fucking last night. I was walking around. They're like, it's fucking Tuesday. Like, we're not even, the week hasn't even started yet.
Starting point is 00:06:33 People have already been out. They've been going to dinners. They've seen 100 people they know. Everybody's talking about the tournament, the stands. It's a bigger buildout than it's ever been. They're literally talking about having a million people we're going to go through the tournament. A fucking golf tournament.
Starting point is 00:06:47 The weather's perfect. It's like 75 sunny. It's like 50 in the morning. You know, it's just been like perfect. The forecast is to be perfect. So people are jacked up. There's also concerts every night though, right? Reggie, like it's the bird's nest people keep talking about.
Starting point is 00:07:00 I don't know where that is on the golf course, but it sounds, it's literally a nonstop party on a golf course where golfers just show up and play through it. It feels like. Dude, how about they started? We got to talk about Better Help real quick. But how about they started Saturday night this year?
Starting point is 00:07:15 Like Saturday night, there was just a concert in the middle of the 16th hole. They built a massive fucking stage. with four jumbotrons, one on each side, and a concert in the 16th hole, it was Old Dominion, who, me and kids were talking about yesterday. Old Dominion has more awesome songs than when they're playing, you think that they stopped playing for recess
Starting point is 00:07:35 and that they put on the radio or Spotify or something because so many songs that Old Dominion has are Old Dominion songs that you're just like, what? This is their song as well. It was unbelievable. I don't know. I don't know a ton about Old Dominion, but what I know their songs,
Starting point is 00:07:49 if I put it up. Nobody does. Okay. Nobody does. And then they play, dude, they play their songs and you're like, this is Old Dominion,
Starting point is 00:07:56 this is Old Dominion, this is Old Dominion. This is Old Dominion. We did that the whole night. And then Thomas Rett played after that. So it was like two and a half hours of fucking rocking music in the 16th hole on Saturday night of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am. Like it was just, it was rocking, you know, four days ago already.
Starting point is 00:08:12 So Cole Swindell is playing tonight. He's a big friend of the program. So we're going to the Cole Swindell concert tonight. saw our boy Colton Oast at dinner last night. You know, he was kind of slinking around the old bar chirping, trying to mouch off the table a little bit coming on over. Like, what are you boys up to over here? You can see over the table?
Starting point is 00:08:38 Nice. Better help. So I know Frankie, our boy, Frankie's going to get fixed this year. We're going to have old fixing Frankie action. A lot of people are saying better help might be a huge part of that, Frankie. Yeah. You got to get. You got to get your mental straight.
Starting point is 00:08:50 And better help is, you know, all jokes aside, a really, really incredible program. They even offer, we have a huge partnership with them at Barstall Sports. And the amount of people that use better help, it's staggering. And it's a super important thing to be able to talk to someone and figure things out and clear your mind. And, yeah, it's an incredible program that they have real good people that work there that want to help. And it's been eye-opening to just see how many people at Barstle have taken an advice. advantage of it. Yeah, I mean, if you've got, you know, your body, try to take good care of your body, be in good physical shape, physical health. You take good care of a car. If you buy a nice car,
Starting point is 00:09:29 why wouldn't you take good care of your mind? That's pretty much the background. That's the thought process. That's where your thought process should be and better help is there to do it. They're customized online therapy that offers video phone, even live chat sessions with your therapist. So you don't have to see anyone on camera if you do not want to. Much more affordable than in-person therapy. You could be matched. with a therapist in under 48 hours. So give it a try. See why over 2 million people have used BetterHelp online therapy.

Starting point is 00:10:17 Great thing that they're doing. They're helping a lot of people. So big shout out to better help. The Tiger Woods clip, I'll never get over the fact that Tiger Woods on the loudest hole in golf in 1997, just a few months before we won the Masters by 12 shots, just aced the 16th hole.
Starting point is 00:10:36 I mean, when you go up there, there's a little plaque on the 16th hole, and it's got the people that have aced it in the waste management. And it's just not that many people. And of course, one of them is, Tiger fucket woods.
Starting point is 00:10:47 He's just a man made for every moment. That's all he is. Every moment that he addresses and comes up to, he's going to do the right thing. And that was just like starts of it, where it's just like, how is a guy going to ace this 16th hole? Place went bananas.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Play people going crazy. Yeah, he's just. Imagine if you were there. I mean, I would have lost my mind if I was there. Tigerwood. Imagine they had the setup they have now. Oh, my God. The stands would burn down.
Starting point is 00:11:16 It would just burn. They crumble. It's, yeah, it's an unbelievable clip every time I see it. Dude, he, the clip yesterday, too, that the tour put out of him talking about it. And I don't think he was looking at a monitor. I think he was just remembering it. Like, he remembered every high five. He remembered all the rays in the roof and him, like, talking through it was really, really funny.
Starting point is 00:11:37 The raise the roof is hilarious. It's very sort of, it like pegs it in time when that, you know, when that ace was. You're like, oh, okay, the late 90s out there raising the roof. But yeah, I mean, that guy, for him to fucking pull that off on that hole, people are throwing beers at them all behind him. I mean, it goes nuts when I think it was Francesco Mollonari a handful years ago, got an ace there. People were going nuts.
Starting point is 00:12:00 Imagine if Tiger Woods got a fucking ace there again or any time now with the media and all that. I had a guy tweet at me being like, man, I was there and I'm pissed that it was pre-cellphone age because I have no pictures or no videos to prove it whatsoever. But I was there and it was awesome. brought out of Nica, flip, and try to take a picture. Yeah. Not to sound like an old man, but that's when you really experience it.
Starting point is 00:12:22 When you got no phone, you don't video it. You're just in the moment. I think overall, that's a better way to experience that moment. So somebody hit me with a, from the gallery. It was actually Michael. And Michael said, what do you laugh at, Lange? Just, I think T was looking for a little follow up there. And then there was nothing.
Starting point is 00:12:43 And there was a topic change. He was just looked around the road. I thought maybe the other old people on the Zoom were going to agree with me. You guys were like, I couldn't tell. I wouldn't tell how sarcastic you were being, how sarcastic you were being or how real you were being. I couldn't tell you. You know what I honestly don't even know. What?
Starting point is 00:12:59 I think that was a real tea comment. And I agree. You know, it's like when the things go viral on Twitter, they show pictures of like concerts now and concerts in the 70s. And it's like, look at that, not a person on their phone. people just living in the moment. Yeah, you agree, but like you don't because like when we're at, you know, Torrey Pines, every one of us pulling our phone out every five seconds and taking videos a picture.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Riggs, when you and I went to waste management, however many years ago that was, I remember I had to get a portable phone charger from someone in the crowd because I was taking video of every single T-shot in case there was a hole in one. So yeah, I'm the opposite. I was like,
Starting point is 00:13:38 imagine if we're sitting here, we're like guerrilla media right now. We don't have credentials. We just came in. We're with the people. Imagine a hole in one happens and the place goes crazy and four play barstle sports
Starting point is 00:13:49 doesn't have video of it. So I was just sitting there the whole time just with it videoing. It never happened. But if it had happened, I would have had it. It is funny too, the concept of everybody
Starting point is 00:13:59 taking those videos and pictures because there are just better cameras and better other people taking footage. Like, I think about that all the time. But it's like, oh, let me make sure I get like this,
Starting point is 00:14:11 this show. got right here at this event. This picture's like, well, if you scroll on the internet, someone has a way better camera and just took a better picture of that exact scene at the time. You never do anything with the photos. Never. Nothing. No, they just really go to the land.
Starting point is 00:14:24 Like, they just die. And they're horrible. Once in a while you like scroll when you have no service on your phone, you kind of just go back and like, where was I? Or maybe you look at something on a calendar and you're like, oh, where was I that January? Let me go back. I do that a lot with my expense reports.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Yeah. I'll be like, where, where, where are. are we on January 21st and I'll like see pictures that I took in Arizona. Oh, fuck. All right. I got to look back there and see exactly what I did. You know what I'll actually do sometimes on my phone. If you go to like your main screen on your phone and you swipe left or right, you swipe right, it'll just have like pictures of places you've been. We were just, that was like when we look at that's when we're out of pebble. And that's when we're like, it's kind of a nice little thing that you have on your phone. It creates a little life montage for you. I agree. I think the best thing is the, do you guys have
Starting point is 00:15:11 Google photos on your phone too. I don't know. That does like a heat map of all the places you've ever taken photos. So if you were like, oh yeah, I remember, you know, we did that trip to Australia. I can then go on to Google photos and just look at Tasmania and a whole heat map exactly where we took photos at Barmboogel and you can just look into exactly those, which is amazing because I think like all these photos go to the land of Misfit toys and nobody can ever find them again and just die on your phone.
Starting point is 00:15:41 So I think the search aspect of photos is like the worst part in the world. Because anytime you're at a party or with buddies, you're like, oh, yeah, we had this sick photo. It's like, it's going to take me three and a half hours to potentially find this. So just trust me that it's happened. I find the search feature to be pretty good. Yeah, not that Apple needs a little like plug here, but I think they've perfected. I mean, I can type in. I've typed in before like things that like I've like golf tournament in.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Denver and it'll take you the Barstall Classic. It just knows the type of event or, you know what I mean? It's fucking nuts. If you go to that search it'll do it completely. You can search anything. I'll type in Islander game and it takes me to the Coliseum. It knows immediately. Yeah, I think it's pretty good. You don't like it, Lurch.
Starting point is 00:16:30 I don't, maybe I'm I'm just, I'm getting back to their corner. I mean, really some positive feedback on the old search bar. I just typed in Ranger game and yeah, fuck. Rangers Power.
Starting point is 00:16:43 All right. Is that pretty insane? Oh, hell yeah. That's pretty legit. Matt, I didn't see that coming. Because I totally go off. Shove it up your fucking hoop.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Better hoop one. Hoop one. Yeah, all right. That's better than I expect. Although I still got to dig in the heat map. But yeah, anyways, let's get past the photo thing. I don't hate the heat map. But I just think that you look dogging on the Sears feature a little bit.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Apple has a map too somewhere. I just saw that. It was like right there in front. I just, yeah, okay. T, I agree with you. Let's go back to the original point. It's nice to view something without a cell phone. There you go.
Starting point is 00:17:20 How many bachelor parties do think are there this week? I know Captain Kanz is there for his bachelor party. One million maybe. One million. Out of the one million people, you got a million bachelor parties. There are just so many bachelor parties. Yeah. It's insane.
Starting point is 00:17:36 You go, Riggs, though. You dropped what? No. You go, you go. I'm done. I'm asking you. Oh, okay. No, it's just, it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:17:47 I was here for a minute and then I got a text from two buddies. I mean, cons and then this other guy, Matt, and like, they're here for a bachelor party. I drop my stuff at the elevator or the hotel, come down the elevator. First person I see is this guy that's, I don't know if he's had a few drinks. He might have, but he just looked at me like all like he was like, lurch. It just feels like this place is mobbed. With people, and the rigs mentioned, there's going to be a million people here, potentially over four or five days of golf. And I would say 25 to 35 percentage is bachelor parties.
Starting point is 00:18:21 I would say there's nothing I would really want to join less than someone else's bachelor party. Like if you're not part of a friend group? Yeah, because it's, I mean, bachelor parties by nature are like sloppy. And then they've got their own crew. And even among that crew, you got people that like kind of are forced to be. Like you got like a brother-in-law or something that's, like not really friends with that. So they've got their own like little dynamics within that crew.
Starting point is 00:18:45 And then like you joining it. You're like, I kind of like know this guy that like kind of brought me where how do you know the, you know. And then you're like I actually don't even have to be here. I'm just so bad like being kind of an add on to like someone else's bachelor party for a beer. I feel like that's a weird. It's just kind of a,
Starting point is 00:19:02 that's a lot for like a social interaction. Sometimes too they go in ebbs and flows where like the energy is real high. You show up and everybody's blacked out. And like everybody's having fun and you're just like to say, oh, what's up, man? It's great to see you. And then other times you'll show up and it's like Sunday morning or something like that. And everybody's just hung over with just like a breakfast sandwich just like on their stomach. Just like no, boy, just like resting on their stomach with a coffee.
Starting point is 00:19:26 And so it's, it is a tough event to time up properly in terms of like when you like jump in the mix and hopefully have a lot of fun because usually it's peaks and valleys with bachelor parties. I'm so lame and so washed that like, seven years ago, I just decided that I would only go to weddings and not bachelor parties, even if I get invited to them. And I've been doing that for seven years. And it, boys, it is a gift because bachelor parties are fun. And I did them a lot in my early 20s. But one of those, when you just wake up like somewhere and they're surrounded by guys and you're just like, wow, this, I'm super hungover.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Now I've got to get on a plane. And that's going to be horrible. If you just make the decision, and I'm not saying this is for everybody, but it is for me. If you just decide, just pick one. Pick the wedding. You don't have to go through the bachelor party because... Worst friend ever. Worst.
Starting point is 00:20:17 I'm just thinking of the Trent Ryan... The Trent Ryan's social playbook of like rules is maybe one of the most interesting documents ever put together on what is an okay event and what's out. And yeah, Frankie's right. That's just getting married. I'm excited about it. The other day. I'm so pumped you're coming and just, no, I'm actually out. I'll be there for the wedding.
Starting point is 00:20:39 and I won't make the rehearsal dinner. I'll be there maybe for the welcome cocktail wedding and I'm out of there. The other day I was driving with my buddy and we're going down the street and we got stopped at a red light and we're in between. It was one of those huge cemeteries that there's one on the left and one on the right and we're just covered by just plaques and stones of just dead people. And I remember and I was sitting there being like and we were complaining about like having to go somewhere and like we were tired. And I was like, you know what, dude, one day, we're going to be right here. Right here to the, like that's, where there's no, there is nothing stopping us from being right here. We're going here.
Starting point is 00:21:19 We have a one-way ticket and there's no stop in that train. No, it's happened. It's absolutely happened. Let's fucking go to this place. Even though we're tired, one, there is going to be no more tired. There's going to be no more tired, no more hungover. It's over. You're dead.
Starting point is 00:21:33 Done. See you later. The story. The book closes. you're done. So like, let's go get a mimosa on a Sunday. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:21:41 That's why. We were trying to say, should we go back and like just go to sleep? Like, no. No, because we're going to be sleeping. Dude,
Starting point is 00:21:47 that John from fucking 19882 has been sleeping for a long time. That's a better closing pitch. I was nervous because right away, I was like, oh, man, I think if I was having a bachelor party and I either had the choice of Trent,
Starting point is 00:22:01 a no show. And Frankie's showing up being like, everybody's going to die. So, exactly. I don't know which. Just bags of drugs. Just let's go.
Starting point is 00:22:11 I don't know which one I want there. But the clothes are Frankie. I agree. Like I'll sleep when I'm dead. Like get as much into this life as we can because at some point we're down there. Frankie's right. And he's giving me that same pitch that he gave his friend in the car on on trips that we go on. Like I'll be like, I'm going to go back to the hotel.
Starting point is 00:22:29 He's like, let's go eat prosciutto until our eyeballs fall out. And it always usually ends up being a good idea. But something about Bachelor parties, it's. too intense and I'm just like this this was fun for a while but I also just like I need my sanity I'll see you at the wedding with an envelope bachelor parties in themselves are fun I've only been on a couple but like the people on them can become a lot like there's a certain person on every bachelor party from what I've noticed is like that guy's a lot to handle he's like out there he's ain't got us arrested it's like we don't need any of that and then now booking new ones with the
Starting point is 00:23:05 same people. It's like you just got to hope this one guy is just like on a leash and just like just fucking make sure. Well, there's always one guy right whose life clearly is miserable and he uses the bachelor party as like, I need this. I need every minute of this. And I'm going to go full sin on every part of it. Not to stereotype, but usually a guy who's married or and or has kids. He's like, this is the getaway. And in the thick of it, like two kids both young and just I left and I don't know if I'm coming back That's right His wife is pissed that he's there
Starting point is 00:23:41 And like can't believe that he's there Or she hates him so much She's like she packed his bags Just fucking go Just fucking go But that's gonna be a lot of that At the waste management for sure You get to see a lot of drunk dads
Starting point is 00:23:54 Stumbling around the place Looking at women being weird and shit And it's gonna be a fucking weird time But there's gonna be a lot of good golf going on A ton of good golf It's a strongest field in 20 years. I think 15 of the top 20 ranked players in the world are there
Starting point is 00:24:08 or here, I guess. So it's a phenomenal field. John Rom, I think, is the betting favorite. I know a few folks who play over at Silver Reef, John Ron quite frequently. They're basically like, if you don't pat on him to win this week, you're a crazy person. Apparently, he shot 61, I think, Monday.
Starting point is 00:24:25 So he's best player in the world, playing really well. He's in Arizona. He's an ASU guy. I think he really wants to win this golf tournament. So a lot of signs are pointing towards John Rom. That's easy to say. He's the betting favorite.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Way to go out in Riggs. Well, that's what I'm hearing. Riggs, you said off the top, you mentioned that Brooks Kepka won this tournament last year. And that is true. But this was Jordan Speeth's tournament last year. That was everyone's main takeaway last year. That's 61 on Saturday. That was, I, like, that feels like so long ago we've come, there's been so much that
Starting point is 00:24:58 has happened with Speeth in terms of his golf game, even since then. That, like, that is what's cool about this tournament. like, yeah, there's a guy, there's a lot surrounding it, right? Like there's the 16th hole, there's the parting party, there's the bachelor parties, there's the defending champ. But then you can have a guy like Jordan Speed pop up and really like rekindle his career. Like that was the turning point. And then he had obviously a pretty damn good year after that.
Starting point is 00:25:21 I think he's up to 13th in the world. Obviously, I had a good finish at 18T. Should have won probably. But like that's this type of stuff that can happen. And there's going to be a lot of eyeballs on this tournament. So like viral golf stuff like that almost always happens at some point during. this tournament. Yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 00:25:36 That was when he, that was when it really was Jordan Speeith is back. He pointed, remember on 17 he made that putt? He pointed across the guy on the fucking pond and had the whole thing going. So you're right, Trent. That was remembered. Brooks Kebka. I mean, it really didn't feel like it was Brooke Kebka's tournament until he holed out on 17 with that little chip.
Starting point is 00:25:53 And then it was like, oh, fuck, he's going to kind of win this whole tournament. I walked by Speath yesterday. He was signing autographs. I didn't really know what to do. I don't know if I'm supposed to say hi to that guy when we walked. Like he was just, I was inside the ropes. He was kind of, there's a little area between the putting green and the actual driving range where a bunch of fans congregate
Starting point is 00:26:11 and speed's great with fans. So he was kind of there interacting with fans. I think he was signing out of grassy, but either way, he was like there with everybody, maybe taking selfies. And it was just me and him, like inside that ropes for probably 50 yards. And I, he was like kind of facing the fans, though. Like he wasn't like facing me.
Starting point is 00:26:30 And I kind of walked by. was just like, am I supposed to say something? I'm supposed to say something? I'm supposed to say something. Really like that's a Sunday conversation. That's what I was going to say. Sunday conversation was great.
Starting point is 00:26:41 He's like, oh, oh, yeah, hey, hey, I'm Riggs. He knows who you. I mean, we talk to him at, um. He loves y'all stuff. That, Beth page. I know, I know. I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything.
Starting point is 00:26:51 Nice to see you're on flat ground or something like that, you know, just, you know? That's so alert. Is that not? See, that's a you line. Like, you could do that with your big, goofy fucking face and I'd like to see you're on some flag ground. I know what I'm saying. Good to see your neck's not broke.
Starting point is 00:27:07 I guarantee he smiles at that. No, I don't think you're wrong. Just a couple guys having a conversation. Just a couple guys having a conversation. You can't just be a human. Yeah. There you go, Frank. That's not a rigs line.
Starting point is 00:27:22 I can't say it. I'm not going to say it. I'd be like, I'd start making fun of myself if I said that. I can't do that. So I don't know. I did a thought space when it comes to opening lines of the conversation. I mean, we've got a weird relationship with a lot of people, a lot of golfers on this podcast.
Starting point is 00:27:37 Speed might be number one. Yeah. Just in terms of, yeah, I don't know. Ricky's up there. Ricky's up there. Ricky's got to be one. Makes us all feel weird like our skin's going to fall off every time we see him. Yeah, Ricky's got to be.
Starting point is 00:27:51 I would say he's a runaway number one. I thought we were on to something when we were DMing back and forth or just back and then forth. I think And but it, yeah. I can't believe he DM back till gang.
Starting point is 00:28:04 I just can't, I still will never be able to believe that. You gotta message him again. Be like, what the fuck. Bro, I did message him again. After that.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Triple message him. Let me see if you, let me see if you ever look at him up at this point. He's at the waste management. Yeah, he's out here. While Trent's looking that up, let's do a quick,
Starting point is 00:28:21 um,
