Episode Date: August 24, 2021

Patrick Peterson (01:35:27) of the Minnesota Vikings joins us to talk training camp, golf, and providing kids in need with shopping sprees. Before Patrick joins, we discuss the dangerous chaos that is a PGA Tour pro-am, the lack of accountability facing meteorologists, debate the absurdity of Frankie mixing cereals, and Riggs expresses concern over Bryson competing in the World Long Drive the day after the Ryder Cup.You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.

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. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to 4Play. First and foremost, a huge congratulations to Tony Fienow. I think we all breathed a huge sigh of relief when he, well, when he hold his putt on the 72nd hole, and then when Cam Smith airmailed one way right on the first playoff hole. We're all over the map right now, Forplay, in terms of travel. and different locations.

So we recorded a great show with Patrick Peterson telling tales from Liberty National, serial debates, all kinds of good stuff. We will break down the Tony Fianowin more in detail on Thursday show, which will also feature Kalamorakawa. We had a great show for you today. Please enjoy and please tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern, episode two from our Michigan travel series, Forest Dunes were playing the same course we played last week that you saw just the other direction.

It's a reversible golf course. enjoy 8 p.m. Eastern YouTube. Let's talk some golf. Four blames, right, Barstool Sports. We have the full squadron today. I am in Scottsdale for a couple days. We have Trent Ryan and Frankie Borelli are in studio at Barstle H.Q.

And we have Benjamin Lurch Severance. Wait, no hotel there, Lurch? I am. Got trapped in Boston. We're supposed to be actually back in San Diego today, but Hurricane kind of showed up, didn't show up, and now I'm just trapped here, so I'm flying home tonight.

Right. How bad was the hurricane? How bad was the hurricane? I mean, it was just one of those things where it was preemptive and they just shut everything down. Like I woke up yesterday at 7 a.m. saying my flight was canceled and you could have flown. Like I don't know what it was like in New York, but up in New England area, it was like a little wind, a little rain, but I would just call it. Well, it's storied family history of pilots. So if Lurch says you can fly, fine.

I've said this on this airways before, but meteorologists need to be held accountable for being this wrong. At some point, we need to do something about them just throwing out outrageous claims of weather. Well, and I understand. You got to play devil's advocate and say that. You got a war. Just in case. Three days prior to Hurricane Henri, is that what the name was? Everyone was calling at Henry.

Henry, but there was a name change. I think they dropped the way out of the night. So Henry was. Is it almost like language appropriation? if we say Henri, like we say Henry, that's what we say. I was calling it Henry and then someone corrected me and said, Andri, and that's now the new thing that I'm saying. So, but the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,

three days prior to Henri's arrival, I was, I couldn't even watch the Yankee game because I was getting blue screen saying prepare all life and property for devastation, like legitimate, like, end of the world type messages that I was sending screenshots to Trent saying, This is over. Like they, they said, uh, Hurricane Henri barreling towards the heart of Long Island,

like everyone stay safe or evacuate if, if necessary. Like, so I said, I said, that could give you a heart attack, is my point. It just said Long Island direct hit in bold red lettering.

So I do agree with you that they go over the top with the graph. How many people died from just the preparation of Henri than they did of a little sprinkle? A few heart attacks. The grocery stores are behind this because like, everybody then just. runs of the grocery store. It's like a stampede to get every last item possible. I put my tinfoil hat on and I think big fucking, you know,

which one? Which big? Well, I was just to say one of the big supermarket all get together and they're like, you know, it's time for everyone to come grab some bread and milk. Let me ask you a question. Like 150 years ago, okay, let's say it's, it's 1870. and a hurricane is barreling up the eastern seaboard. How does the forecast or news of that? Like, does someone in Carolina see it off the coast? And they send a fucking horse up the polar coastline? Like, you're right.

That's what I mean. Like a fucking hurricane's comment. Or do they just get blindsided? Like, they're out there playing golf. And then all the sudden, like, I got a little dark here. And then, bam, they just get smoked by her. Like, how did that work before TV or internet?

I think they just, Was the Almanac available back then? Probably what was the Almanac created? Well, I'm just thinking like, if someone just reports on what happens on like a yearly basis, I think Henri goes down as just a rainstorm that happened like in mid to late August.

I don't think in back in that day it ever gets recorded as a hurricane. It wasn't a hurricane. It wasn't even a trouble storm. I don't mean reporting. I mean like warnings. I mean like warnings. The hurricane just.

The hurricane just appear and they're like, oh, fuck, or did they know a couple of days in advance? Like, hey, our boys down. There has to be some sort of carrier pigeon. I don't know what it is. I bet it is like a Paul Revere situation where you just go from town to town telling people that this is happening. The first town, unfortunately, gets flattened. But the rest of them then take the news of the flattening. And they're saying, everybody take cover because this thing might be headed your way.

I also don't know. They didn't know anything back then. They didn't know anything. Well, that's why I said the almanac. Because you're just, yeah, sorry. The Almanac would be like the thing that would be the warning shot, right? Isn't that like recording weather year over year? But I would say, like, late August this happened.

Yeah, but that doesn't like tell you when there's a hurricane. No, but it's like generally time frame of the year, you have to be cautious about this showing up. Oh. But that doesn't change the way that you live. Like if you're in Long Island, you're not like, oh, it's hurricane season. Watch out. Like, you're just fucking a sitting duck out there on that little piece of. a strip of land and all of a sudden something comes in.

I was wondering about like the first, like the ship, the first ship that's out there that just gets absolutely steamrolled by this. Like you're, you got no idea. Something's out there back of the day. But then I also would say, I think that they were pretty fucking good at this stuff. Like their awareness and ability to use the elements and patterns and stuff to kind of predict weather was really good because they were, they had a sharpened heightened sense of these things,

whereas we know nothing. We just log on to Weather app, a blue little fucking app on your phone. And if it doesn't say a hurricane's coming, then you just go outside and live your normal day. That's it. We don't use any instincts whatsoever. Well, and also back then there was no,

I don't know, what do you call it? Disaster porn. Like the graphics that they're using feels like disaster porn, where they're like, oh, look how crazy this is going to get. Look how crazy this is going to get. going to be where back then it was very much just it's either going to happen or it's not so prepare accordingly you might have more clear information back then than we do now because now people are like we're saying with the graphics they were crazy yeah i don't know what we're talking about now all

i know is that what i want to say is that they're not held accountable enough all right they have to be more correct on a more consistent basis they do it's almost like i was telling you guys i know a guy who was going to school and now this could be debunked once this is now on the airwaves So actually, I'm glad I'm saying this. I'd be really surprised. He was saying that he was going to school to be an engineer of planes, an aerospace engineer, I believe, is what they're called. Yeah.

True. This is great. And he claimed that when you are showing up to your duty or like when you have to, when you have to fix something on the plane, you have to sign a waiver saying that if anything then goes wrong, after your assessment of that plane, you are liable for all the things that happened to the plane after it takes off.

So it instills this fear upon these engineers to not mess up or to not want to like fuck anything up because like deaths are on your name and like you go to jail for murder. It was even deeper. It was like the people that build the plane. Like when there is a plane crash, they work obviously from the accident site

all the way back, and if that all the way back path leads to you, whether you're the guy that like, you know, design how the screws go into the engine or whether you're the guy that missed the checkpoint on tarmac, whoever that person is, you get charged for like 250 murders. Yeah, so I don't know that I said that. I don't know if it went to everyone. I remember this guy said that he learned that in this specific class about aerospace engineering. Okay, so let's now say that you want to clearly do that with meteorologists. Yes. then they're doing what you want them to do because they're saying it's potentially coming

because they're worried about that happening. Well, no, they're being extra cautious. It doesn't work like that like that. Like it doesn't work the same as working on a plane because there's like either you die or you don't in a plane. I don't know how to, like it's not a good comparison because they're just always going to say a hurricane's coming then. Like there's no comparison to being right.

Like the plane people have to be right a lot of the time. They have to be right almost every second of their lives. I would argue that the meteorologists are the same way. Meteorologists are wrong 99% of the time, man. They're so wrong. They're the most wrong people on the planet. We all just say, all right, yeah, you know, that's weather, Mother Nature. They're super wrong, dude.

But they're wrong in the right way. Yeah, sure, because they want to save their ass. Like, they always have this, like, backup plan. Like, well, what else would you want? It wants to not tell you next time it comes. It's like, just be right next time. One time, be right. The stakes on a day-to-day basis are quite different.

Like, if it's going to be 76 or 81 and like 30% chance rate or 20, that doesn't really matter. If you get the fucking engine wrong and the plane just falls out of the sky and blows up in a giant fireball, that's a problem. We need answers on that because I was told by some guy at Men's League hockey this. So this could just be completely wrong. I'm now saying it to hundreds of thousands of people. That's something that I usually do. And I'm usually wrong on these. I would love to get your responses, your DMs, your tweets.

Let us know if you are liable. Maybe there's like one specific guy that is. Like is it like the check pointer that's like, yep, yep, yep, this is all good to go. Go fly on your way. Because that, if it's not in place, it should be. Should be. I think it is whoever it goes back to that fucked up. I think no matter who that might be.

200 deaths. I think if that's shared in class, I think half the class just walks out and says like, that's what happened to this guy. He said he went to go work on boats. he just left the class yeah there's a shortage of people because they get to that point in the lesson and they're like what he said there was way too much liability for it he's like I'm way too stupid so you're telling me there's not that liability for boats I don't know that I think he's like like I think he's got to get out of the transportation guy he's got to figure something else out dude I'm telling you man he had my draw on the fucking floor when he said that so I think it's true there's something else you're very wrong about I think that we're going to talk about the first we have to talk about um Owens Mixers, which is our title sponsor, our very good friends at Owens. I'm holding the mint cucumber and lime version right now, which is one of my favorites.

It's quite refreshing this time of year when it's very warm out. We also have the Barstall Transfusion, which I'm also holding right now. This lovely little cans, cute, okay, eight ounces. You pour that in, pairs with vodka, as it says on there. You go to Owensmixtures.com. You use Amazon. They do the next day shipping, and you just get any Owens that you would like. And then we've got the grapefruit and lime

These are the three that I pulled out of my fridge right now. This pairs with tequila, vodka, and champagne, which I haven't tried that yet. Have you guys tried grapefruit lime and champagne yet? No, no. I bet that's refreshing, though. Sounds fucking awesome. Grapefruit, lime, and champagne.

Couldn't you put any of the ones that you've now put on the screen with champagne? You could put champagne with a transfusion. Why not? I don't know. I guess you could pair anything with champagne. If it's fruity and tasty, it's no different. Listen to you mixing things in. Huh?

Listen to you mixing stuff up. The guy goes to one meat and green and hoboken. Now he's mixing things up. That was fun. That was a great time. Very good time. So big thanks to Owens again. They put on that meat and greet.

They're supplying lovely cocktails for everyone. So go check out their website, Owensmixers.com. Go check out Amazon and get it brought to you or just go to a store and figure it out. Big thanks to Owens' Mixers. Simple, you pour it in with your liquor or choice. You should have an awesome cocktail. It's very simple. Cereal.

So, ironically enough, this came from, a couple quick announcements. We have Patrick Peterson on the show today, who will come in a few minutes. One of the best defensive players in the NFL for the last eight, ten years. I was thinking we haven't had a ton of NFL guys on. I know Kyle Rudolph has been a longtime friend of the program, Frankie, Trent, myself, Dave. We went up and played in his charity event four or five years. years ago right when we started for play win song farm sure win song farms great track i'm sure i'm missing some names or not thinking about we haven't had a ton of NFL guys on patrick peters a big golfer

awesome guy we didn't really know much he got set up through our booking team which did a great job awesome guy told some great stories um you know he's at the vikings now for the first time he's in a new team he was arizona forever um big time golf guy and i think eight times straight pro bowler in the NFL, so literally one of the best defensive players. NFL season is upon us. He's on this show. And then we have Kalamorkawa on Thursday's show. We check in with Kalamorkawa.

We talk about the suit situation, which was fantastic. We talked about a couple other things, perhaps related to serial, which I believe stemmed this debate between our very own Trent Ryan and Frankie Borrelli. Yeah, it happened as soon as we signed off with Colin Morcawa. And I actually want to give you the opportunity to present it because you seem like you It's in your head that you haven't gotten a fair shake on what's going on with this So I'm going to allow you to present it Don't be like that you're being like this because you're cocky because you know you're correct

You know that the public reception of this is that I'm wrong and I've already said that I will not be in now I will not be talking about serial on Twitter.com the website any longer I've removed myself from the debate you can't tweet at me about it anymore. I'm done But basically it was, I don't know how it came up, but I said I love to mix my cereal in. I love to throw in, you know, different brands of cereal, different types of cereal into one bowl. Trent looked at me like I had fucking five heads. He goes, what does that even mean? I don't even like, are you even speaking the language that I speak?

And I looked at him like, okay, is this another one of those sauce incidents? Okay. When you just didn't know what. Don't turn this into something about me now. Didn't know what sweet and sour sauce was. You're reaching. You're reaching right now. The look you gave me when I said, what are you talking about?

Nobody mixes their cereal. You looked at me like you had seven billion people behind you who were about to agree with you. Jake was like, yeah, I mixed my fucking cereal too. So I'm like, uh-oh, I've got them again. I've got Trenton against the fucking wall. And I tweeted out immediately. Jake Bass on your side. That's a bulletproof.

So many bad steps by you that when you originally tweeted out what you were trying to say, people didn't understand what you were saying. I meant, yeah. Which is what happened to me as a neutral observer of the situation. Here's the problem is that I like to mix cereal together. I don't like to go crazy. I'm not a lunatic. I'm not mixing outrageous flavors together like you would. People are picturing going up to a soda machine and just going down the line and mixing all

the sodas and just being a fucking anarchist. That's not what I'm doing here. I'm finding compatible cereals that like to go together. Things that are in the same family. grouping cereals. It's a good experience. It's an enhancement of the cereal experience. I didn't, I didn't think that this would cause such a stir. I'll take frosted mini-weets and I'll take frosted flakes. I'll throw them in the same fucking bowl. They're the same family, two different crunches, two different styles. You put milk in it. It's a nice taste. I'll sometimes use a base,

rice Krispies. It's a nice base. It turns into a fucking mush pile of nothing. You throw that in with frosted mini-weets and you have your crunchy and your soft all in one bowl. It's an experience. Riggs and Lurch, I'm talking to you two right now. The look that Frankie gave me when he realized that he was on the wrong end of this is a look that I will cherish forever. Because he really thought that he was on the right side of it. He was like, oh, everybody does this, watch this.

And he tweeted it out and instantly people are saying, white trash, nobody does this. You're crazy. Serial killer move, no pun intended. A lot of people said that. It was, it's something that I will really, that look that he gave me, the stunned look in his eye is something I'll cherish for it. A lot of people said they'd do it also. Frankie, how long until you knew you were wrong? So you put the tweet out there, you kind of correct it.

Instantly. Was it instant? It was just matter of second. It's a four tweet thread on my end. I was scrambling. I don't mind that you mix different cereal brands because you're a scattered brand. that makes sense with your personality, your situation. It's a crazy thing that I'm not stunned that you do.

I'm shocked that you thought it was normal, that you thought other human beings on a majority level partook in this same type of cereal mixing activity, which is crazy. Nobody would fucking do that. You pick a cereal. There's a certain mood that you're in that morning. You pour that in with milk,

which is with a mixing that I thought you were talking about. Everybody thought you were talking about. Right. And it turns out that you're talking about. you're talking about mixing different cereal flavors, which I don't think I know another human being who I've ever spoken to who actually told me or I knew or was aware that they partook

in such cereal mixing sorcery or whipscraft or whatever you're doing. We mix food all the time. It's not like, I mean, you have a bunch of boxes of cereal in your cereal fucking drawer. Like, how is it such a like otherworldly idea

to throw them? them all in the same ball. To me, it's like, people can't even comprehend the act of opening two cereal boxes at the same time putting them in. I mean, they're both the same thing. It's serial. They're both. It's not like I'm taking fucking, what do you mean? No, I literally explain how like, Frosted Flakes and Froston Minutes are in the same fucking, like, family. Like, if I have both of them, how is that an out, like, oh my God, am I picturing something from another world right now? Like, wait a minute. Like, what do we talk? I would argue that those two that you just named are so similar that there's not much of a difference.

So why mix them? Like, it's just because it's all the same thing. Maybe you, like, just have them both with you. I don't know. Like, you're just in the, if you have them together, it's delightful. It's delightful. Try it. When you said to me in the car that it was, it's like, it's just like when you have rice with

sesame chicken, I, I, but Jake and I almost pulled the car over and kicked you out. I was trying to think he had me scrambling. It's not fair that you're bringing up car conversations. now. But that's what Dave does to me all time. Like, like, we'll be arguing about, like, like, I'll say something. I get caught in the fucking crosshairs. You were trying to work it out. You were trying to work it out. He'll be like, oh, wait, what? What was that? Like, I don't know, actually. It's like the one time I said that, um, when I said cricket was really famous and he goes, no, he goes, cricket people are not famous. I'm like, I think they're the most

paid people in the world. Like, under my breath, they said. And he looked up, he looked up all the most paid athletes in the world. And they weren't even the top 100. Um, I was like, no, no, I was just kind of like mentioning it to you, like, real. quick. Throw away comment that you didn't know it was going to be a tweet. I remember people were just like, what, Frank? Whitney's like, what did he say? It's just throw away comment.

Listen, I mix my cereal. My dad probably mixes his cereal. It's just something that happens in my house. We just mix the cereal together. We're not doing fruity pebbles and cocoa puffs. We're not getting crazy. And again, like Rick said, that's fine. But then to then think.

I thought it was a thing, man. I guess, you know what this really opened up? I don't know everyone's serious. habits. It's something that like I thought I knew. I just think sometimes you're out of touch with reality is kind of what I think. Well, you know what the craziest part is is that so we spend a lot of time together obviously

and then he starts to look at me like I'm crazy but I've realized that he's the crazy one and what he's trying to make me think is crazy and then but he tries to make me feel crazy so it's really luckily I was able to spot it this time and I felt

it and then I saw his instant reaction when he realized that the whole world basically is against him, but sometimes I'll get stuck in his tornado of craziness and actually believe that I'm the crazy one. It's nice that we have a public forum where we can, I'm also admitting a barometer for this. I'm admitting that you're still defending it though. Well, yeah, I'm defending the act of it because there are people that mix their cereal. We're not, I'm not the only person in the world. There's, there are a ton of people in the comments saying, yes, I do this as well. Like there's just, there, that's just a truth. Let's, let's, I don't know about a ton. There are.

What's the poll? What's the poll? Well, the poll I got fucked on. 90-10. The poll I got fucked on. No, no. But read the poll. I'll read it right now.

They gave no option to say no. All right. I'll agree with you that the poll. They wrote what with the question mark as the option. But say you put yes or no and it's 1585 instead of 90s. Loaded. It's a loaded pole, you think? It was a bullshit pole.

Whoever did that should be hanged in town square. I'm trying to find it right now. Honestly, it was a load. It was a bullshit pole. It wasn't yes or no. It was like, of course and what with a question mark. So obviously everyone hits what. That is what it is.

So it was posed as, do you mix your cereals and the options to vote are, of course and what? With a question mark. Like, come on, dude. That's not true. That's not fair. I'm just saying that mixing cereal brands was so foreign to me that when you wrote that tweet, I didn't even consider it an option. Like, I didn't even register for me until I saw the video of you two. at Gorgeous Liberty National with Lady Liberty in the background,

debating the topic. And I had to kind of flip my whole script upside down and reenter the conversation, understanding what you really do. And the whole time, Frankie was waiting for our editor-in-chief and serial expert, Coley Mick, to weigh in and hoping that that would be his last, that he would be his savior. And then Coley disagreed with him,

and it was over. And then it's just over. And he admits it now, there's still i can feel a little part of him being like it just feels like this should be normal but it's not and he tried to drag you into the mcdonald sauce debate is what right when it's very different it's very different i think you guys you and your buddies did you and your buddies do it growing up because like no i think everybody compares like when's the last time you shared a

bowl cereal it's like sleepovers when i was a kid and none of my buddy did that so did your buddies like no i know else mixes cereal besides people in the chat people in my family i guess we do have we've done this at my house. Because you said you had buddies texting you'd be like, we've never done that. Yeah. I'll try it. I'll give it a shot. I'm not against trying something. You know, I'll try it. Try and find your combinations

that you like. It's just a different, I don't know. You were, yeah, the pairs you were saying, it makes sense. Like, I'm not going to knock, like, what are frosted miniweets and frosted something else. Like, that sounds like the rice. The rice, the rice crispy, the rice crispsies and the frosted minoets is such a dynamite combination because rice crispy's be. comes this ball of oatmeal. And when you mix in something that has a little bit more structured to it with that,

it's crazy how good it becomes. I mean, it's a fantastic sugary breakfast. So who, what's your favorite cereal? Mine's Captain Crunch through and through. See, I'm like,

I don't want to start doing all this cereal takes. I'm a pops guy. I'm Frosted Flakes guy. Cookie Kris. You guys ever like cookie Kris? No, see, I think that's all childish stuff. Cereal is childish by nature.

Yeah. Right. We asked Joel Damon and Harry Higgs out at Liberty National today about cereal. And they both stoneface said, I haven't had cereal in over a decade. And we were like, okay. Yeah, I'll see that. We were just talking about it. When, like, I eat cereal, sometimes over a weekend I'll buy like three boxes of cereal. And that'll be all I eat all weekend.

And do you just eat it out of the box sometimes with your hand? Every way. Every delivery system. Yeah. In the bowl, with my hand, pour some on my stomach. Like, whatever it takes to get it. Riggs a good mix for Cookie Crisp is Recy Puffs and Cookie Crisp again. This is the words you're saying right now.

So that's a guy, see, that's the guy who mixes a cereal. But you don't think that's a representation of what you do. No, I don't do Recy Puffsies and Cookie Krispies. I just, I have just distance yourself within the small cereal. I have real material from another cereal. You can't. You got to take Jake Bass on there. I think you got to accept him here.

You got to accept him. And endorse what he's saying. day. You're like, you're, you're, you're, you're,

you're, you're, you're, I don't want to talk about cereal. You need all the eyes you can get right now.

Let's talk about golf. Um, we're going to get to golf before that we get a very important messages. Labor Day weekend,

uh, the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, transportation has been a big topic of discussion already on this show,

working together with the law enforcement community to decrease impaired driving. NHTSA, which is what I just, uh, red and local law enforcement are working tirelessly to spread the word about the dangers of drunk driving and to remind all drivers if you plan to drink alcohol plan ahead for a sober driver drive

sober or get pulled over that's what they want you to remember these expanded efforts to protect against impaired driving will be conducted in a fair and equitable way keep in mind at the end of this little public service announcement i'm going to have to read this URL once again so i would like everyone to mentally prepare for that during i wasn't here the first time for that so i'm excited to see it in person. It's a trip, honestly. I can't wait. You won't believe. We'll get there. During the 2019 Labor Day holiday period, 6 p.m. August 30th to 5.59 a.m. September 3rd, this 2019, 38% of fatalities in traffic crashes involved a drunk driver. We're not trying to bring some sad note. We're trying to bring awareness to how dangerous impaired driving is. In fatal crashes during

the month of August over the five-year period, 2015 to 2019, 8% of the drunk drivers involved with a BAC of 0.08 or higher had one or more previous convictions for drunk driving among drivers between the ages of 18 and 34 who were killed in crashes over Labor Day holiday period in 2019. 46% of those drivers were drunk with BACs of 0.08 or higher. Again, it is extremely dangerous. I think everyone on the show agrees if you're going to drink, figure out transportation, get an Uber, get a lift, have your mom pick you up, have a sober driver in the group, something. Trent's a lot of times are sober driver.

We try to, again, coordinate, plan, come up with some kind of plan because it is not worth it at all. Not only you're putting yourself at risk, you're putting every other person on the road or anywhere near the road or in society at extreme risk because, again, those numbers are staggering. So don't drink and drive. If you drive sober or get pulled over, that's the campaign. we all agree with this correct yes 100% all right now comes the important part for more information about the drive sober or get pulled over campaign and if I laugh during this it's in no way

trying to diminish the seriousness of the subject matter I would say public service you should say get out of pen and paper get out of paper maybe pull up your web browser and be at attention okay yes here we go and we're just getting started here. You don't believe. I'm watching Trent the whole time because he has not heard the whole thing. So far, you're three for three on letters.

Yeah. Dot traffic safetymarketing.gov. This is when it gets crazy. This is where it picks up Steve. You're killing it. Slash get dash materials. Okay. Slash.

Yeah. even close yet. We're like a third way through it. Really? Oh, yeah. Slash drunk dash driving slash national dash mobilization. Okay. Slash.

Okay. Behold impossible. Peak dash informants dash kit. That's it. Wow. That's the U.R. That's it? Yeah.

Wow. So. So again, just go to that quick link and check out all the information, drive sober or get pulled over campaign. Great work by the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, doing great work. Just don't drink and drive. Be smart. And go to that really quick link when you get the chance. Hopefully you had a pin in paper or maybe a translator or somebody to kind of write that whole thing down.

Golf. So obviously Monday finish. Liberty National, quick thing I would like to bring up before we forget is the, you know, we recorded our last show before we witnessed the madness that I'm about to discuss. But we had Wyndham Clark and Scotty Sheffler on, who are phenomenal guests. So last three shows, we've had big time guests, Pat Perez, Kevin Kisner, Scottie Schaffer, Wyndham Clark. The pro-am scene at a professional golf tournament is the greatest. scene of just accepted chaos and danger that I believe myself, Trent, and Jake Bass have ever

witnessed in our fucking lives. There were golf balls screaming offline, low hard hooks that were missing the faces of completely unaware spectators all over the golf courts. Dude, there was a guy just an innocent, innocent man standing. So we were in like our booth where we were at Liberty National. So we're watching the 18th hole. And there was a guy closer to the green just standing there, watching the people on the green, watching people putt. And there was some guy just off to the left in the rough where no one could really see him.

And he hit a low screaming hook like Riggs is saying. And it got so close to the innocent man that afterwards he was like, I felt it on my ear. Oh, man. You could see him touching his ear. I've never seen a golf ball get so close to something and not hit it. And it was a person's face. And it was a missile. Like this ball had to be going 150 miles an hour.

If it would have hit, if it would have struck this man's face six inches to the left of where it went by him, he would undoubtedly be eliminated from this here planet Earth. Like it wasn't, it wouldn't even have been a question. And we witnessed the whole thing because nobody knew this guy was hitting the skies like behind the grandstand. He's aiming 50 yards right of where the ball ended up going. This other spectators like, look at the Statue of Liberty, his heads poking up in the sky. And his ball just went right by his face. And then we just saw this happen like five. You could write a Quentin Tarantino movie about this with just like people's heads exploding and golf balls.

They were flying into our fucking. hospitality tent that we were at and it was utter chaos and this just goes on all over the property 18 holes every Wednesday like it's normal it was unbelievable and like the so we i think we saw babo we saw max homa they are just strolling down the middle of the fairway just watching bodies drop watching people hidden from everywhere and they're just driver iron wedge get out of there they just they must witness the craziest shit over the course of their careers playing in these proams. It's insane. And I also get to where it was madness, but I couldn't take my eyes away from it.

Right. And that's also partially why our YouTube page is so popular. Because we are also hitting the ball all over the map. And like, it's not good golf. But there's a part of it that is very, very entertaining because you just don't know where these balls are going. Right. People stop to, like, watch a car crash. You know what I mean?

Like, even if it's on the other side of the road, people are interested. It was kind of exciting. I mean, I'm sure, because you don't know what's going to happen. Like in regular watching the tournament, it's like, oh, that's down the middle, oh, left rough, right rough. It's like, this ball could go anywhere. Like, you say, like, oh, I've got a two-way miss. He's got a 35-miss.

You're right. You're right, because the backdrop is Liberty National. It's the Northern Trust. So I'm used to seeing, we're all used to seeing the professional golfers. and then here come these guys just ready to kill, ready to murder people. It's amazing. They're swinging fast and loose and the ball could go anywhere. And there are just thousands of spectators standing around that are completely unaware of

from where these foreign objects are coming from to the point where the incident, the main incident that shook all of us to our core that we just described happens right in front of us on 18 and we are like we can't believe it for 10 minutes where like I'm still shaking like this is yeah that we should have just witnessed a death like that guy should be dead right now I can't believe he's still standing and just speaking with his friends he should be gone from head trauma from a golf ball from an innocent man over in the left rough that is just we're allowing this to occur and then I walk around to the other side of the hospitality tent to let up a few buddies just again, my head's in the clouds.

I'm not thinking about it because this never happens at a pro golf tournament. The first T is right there and where I'm allowing my people to go up the stairs is like 150 yards from the first T on the left. And right when I turn the corner and I

meet my buddies, we just hear four and my buddy ducks and the ball goes flying right past my shoulder into the railing. And we just found the ball. It was just sitting up. there. It hit the railing and the, um, the security guard up there was like, yeah, that just went past your shoulder and in between you and me. And this was all in the span of five or ten minutes

of each other. And this just occurs again from seven a.m. until five p.m. every Wednesday on the PJ. It's amazing. It was complete chaos. It's amazing that tour players aren't catching injuries being out here every single Wednesday having to deal with this. It is amazing. And I'm surprised more people don't get hit. Making it sound like 1917 out there. Dude, it, it, it, it, really was maybe we just like got caught in this bubble and maybe liberty is set up that it's it's like this but it just felt like this is something that happens on a very regular basis and i feel like they probably don't you know uh market or put a ton of uh publicity around these types of injuries or occurrences so i would like to hear from the folks out there i guarantee you know

i know our our crowd our listeners out there have clearly been to pro am spectators played in them whatever. This has to, from what we saw in a two-hour window, there have to be plenty of severe and horrific injuries at pro-ams because it was, it's just a numbers game. Like these balls are flying all over the place. We couldn't believe that they were continuing to operate the pro-am with the things that we were seeing. We should start asking tour pros what they've seen, because they've seen it all. I'm sure, I mean, they're right there. They're in the middle of the fair way watching all of this take place in front of them. So I bet they've got some horror stories.

They have to. They tee them forward though, right? They're not at the same back teas and Never Neverland. Like they tee everybody forward? They tee them forward, but Lurch, you wouldn't, like, the ball flights weren't even close. Like, you wouldn't be able to imagine. It's not like they were hitting a high draw that came off a little, like the ball never had a shake.

Right. No, I've seen the bad ones. But the T that I'm envisioning would just be an absolute kill zone because you can't, it's the part three, the 13th, I think. What's the, or is it the 14th out there? 14. 14. So 15 from the tips is it, that T-box is in Never, Neverland, like way back there.

So I was envisioning that T-box of just, I mean, that's a crime center if they're letting the public tee off from back there because that ball's going everywhere. Dude, the other thing, like on the 18th hole, you know, there's people standing all around the green and they're looking around because the scenery is amazing. You're looking at the harbor. And then you got like fucking Susie from accounting has like a hybrid in her hand from 80 yards

out and just lines one left and it's just four and everybody. That just happened and then another group comes through 10 minutes later and they're just doing the same. Dude it's it was non-stop. The one person I'm picturing we were at South Shore Country Club. My brother

never plays golf and I'm just picturing if he was in this scene. It's an Unreal drive out there in the middle. So, like, if you were standing around the green, you're like, oh, he's probably pretty good. Next one's coming up there. He hazled a wedge so far and fast that it went. It, like, just cleared, like, the top ridge,

hit the country club, the house, and came back onto the green. But it was, I mean, if anybody's close, it's just there's a crime scene. I mean, somebody's dead. So I'm just picturing that level of golfer, especially when you're kind of just, like, looking around, life's good, satric liberty, nice day, storm might be,

coming in this weekend, just enjoying it all. And then you've got small bullets. We were talking about like the early 1800s. You've got a round bullet that can just absolutely kill you. I'd also like to say that if you put me in this situation, I'm probably going to maybe kill somebody too. Easily. Totally.

Because I'm extremely nervous that there's people around. And then that's going to make me hit the ball like shit. And I'm going to almost kill somebody. So I'm not, we're not shitting on these people. We're just saying that it's amazing to watch. it's amazing that this happens every single week. Yeah. When I feel pressure,

I'm going to a trap draw that just flies miles left and just kill somebody. Right. And they're like, the people, there's no order to it. Like there's no announcement that this person's getting ready to hit.

There's no, you know, you're kind of looking for who's that PGA tour pro and they're usually lingering behind. So when this fucking, these clowns that just are like so happy to take an invite to the proam are hitting,

most of the fans don't even know that they're hitting. So there's no awareness level. You even know you're supposed to be aware. And then it's just, you know, and the ball just could carry him off a grandstand. It got so close to the one guy that we keep talking about that my brain, like, made it happen in my head. Like I had already, I'd seen the ball hit him in the head. I'm glad it didn't. But it got so close that my brain already started envisioning the guy on the ground with medical crew.

around him. Like it was took our breath away. It legitimately took my breath away. We were shook and we were shaken. We were rattled. We like for a five minute period we were not joking like we wanted to call the authorities. You have to stop like what is happening out here. Like there's public safety is at an extreme risk and you guys are just letting it happen and you're not seeing what we're seeing. Like this is it's bare. Imagine that 911 call you call up and you're like, I'm out at the golf course. There's something going on. Like you guys got to come out here and start arresting people

because otherwise people are going to die. And they're like, where are you? Like Liberty National. Pro Am. Every 10 minutes, there's an 18 to 36 handicap which is launching a ball in oblivion. And you should arrest each one of these people because it's a crime.

It seemed like it was. It was a massive public safety hazard that we were witnessing. And everyone was just okay with it. And it was, it was unbelievable. I can't imagine playing in those things. No. Holy shit.

Everybody was nervous? I just can't imagine playing in those things because I know, like, I'm thinking back to just like my last round of golf. How many people I would have taken out? A couple of like low duck hook, like drives that I just missed the ball. And everyone like on the T goes, ooh, like that's a death. Yeah. That's, that actually should be a waiver form. If you have the low left miss, you can't play in the pro right.

Because that's the kill. It's not so much the high push right. Like that's going to hurt. But you get that low left miss going. You can't. You shouldn't be allowed to be. Right. Somebody's going to catch that and the ball is still going to be picking up speed when they catch it.

That's bad. And that's what you have, Frankie. Yeah. Like if you do that when you hit it that way, it's screaming. Frankie just gave like the nervous, like, neck crack. Just like, I don't want to be in that meeting. Because I'm picturing the exact drive I had at Rockville like two weeks go and I just fucking lifted my head and kind of just came around a ball and it went sizzling

short right sizzling and everyone on the tee went whoa and like just picturing some just fucking fucking dad and his son there just got a bag got a bag full of merch just fucking right in his right in his gut boom you know that old golf clip you know that old golf clip that gets shared sometimes we should put that in where like guy hits it low left hit somebody re tease hit another person over there and then somebody from the fans just says send them home and it's just an all all time player it's dangerous out there man golf balls are dangerous oh unforgiving look again just um we would like to uh alert the general golf community that if you ever attend or near a pro am be prepared man because it is dangerous living out there and we're just we're happy that nobody

Nobody got hurt. Bryson. So Bryson, it was announced just now today, that he's going to play in the Long Drive, World Long Drive contest. I think the big takeaway for a lot of folks is that it's the Monday after the Ryder Cup. Now to compete in a world long drive, it's a different game than the PG&Tor. You use a longer driver, and they use like 48-inch drivers versus like 46-inch drivers.

And it's a, I mean, you're gearing up. to hit, I think, one out of eight balls in play and hit it as far as humanly possible. The natural concern is that Bryson, instead of caring about winning a Ryder Cup and focusing all of his attention on that, that he's going to be gearing up his game for the day after the Ryder Cup to hit drives as far as humanly possible in the World Long Drive contest. I don't know that we need to spend a time on it. another weird thing to come out from Bryson to Shambo,

clearly getting some more negative attention because of this. That's pretty much all I got on. I would say of all of the things that Bryson has gone through or brought upon himself in this calendar year, however long it's been since he's been this headline machine, I'm the least amount bothered by this one. I don't think, like I think saying that he might be worried about, more worried about the world-long drive than the Ryder Cup,

that feels like a stretch to me. Huge stretch. It's like the people like get mad at. You don't think it's different? You don't think gearing up for a world long drive is... How do you know he's gearing up for it, though? Is he just like attending it and like playing in it? Like, do we really know...

Is he ever just like attending play? I think he shows, like, I think he's... That's what he does all day long in that crazy lab, that Como had. But wouldn't he, wouldn't, can't you say the same thing for him and his attention or, like, him wanting to get prepared for the Ryder Cup then also? I would say he has been giving. hearing up for the world long drive contest since he decided to do this. Like I don't think this is going to change the preparation.

I get that the drivers are a little different and the atmosphere is a little different. But like he could walk onto a world long drive contest today and it'd be pretty similar to what he's been doing. I don't know that that's true. I think that what they do is very different. Like he, there is an element to what he does where he has to hit it pretty straight. The world long drive guys, like they don't give a fuck about that. They just got to get like one, like I said, one out of eight pretty much straight. They're just trying to hit it as far as humanly possible.

I guess my point would be me as a United States rider cup fan for now. And knowing that we are two and seven over the last fucking nine and that we have all these issues, these team issues, these chemistry issues, do our guys care about it? Like Europe cares about it. I don't want even one percent of his attention to possibly be in the weeks leading up to the Rider Cup on like something that could be different than the Ryder Cup that affects your golf game. Like if it was a if it was a home run derby where it's a different swing, a different sport, fine. But like I think gearing up for something that is different than playing competitive golf

that I think will change your swing in your game to some degree is just not what I want to hear as a fan. What about the fans that get butt hurt that like Aaron Judge and all these guys, like, they participate in home run derby midseason, like during like legitimate big baseball races. Like their teams in the middle of a race and the ALEs. I totally get that. I think that's the same argument regs is making. Yeah, I think that's so soft though. It's like it's their sport, man. This guy can just go play in this event.

Like he's the fucking long drive guy. Like this is who Bryson is. Also, I'd be far more concerned. he were doing this the week before the Rider Cup. Same. Then he's trying to change it. Like if you're saying that he does change his swing and changes a lot of things, then I'm worried that he's changing something before the Rider Cup takes place.

And that can, then he's, if he gets to whistling straits and he's all over the map, it's like, well, maybe you shouldn't have been hitting it super far at the world long drive. After I'm, I'm less concerned about. But it's the day after. Like, there's competition the day after. So if he's gearing up for it, he will be gearing up for it in the run up to the rider cut. I guess I would also say that my expectation for what I think Bryson is going to do is like, it's pretty low. Like I don't, I'm not surprised that he has decided to do this. Like,

it doesn't make me upset at him because this is kind of what Bryson does. I actually like this move for Bryson. Like, this is what he should be doing. This is, he's like feeding into like the, the, his new character. He's going to do things that PGA Tor pros haven't done. He's like breaking the barrier into this big macho man long drive competition he's like he's doing exactly what everyone has written in group chats with their buddies about he's doing like a four play thing right now like could bryson go beat the long drive champions could he hit the longest drive on the planet if he uses their driver like this isn't really cool thing for us to see it is objectively funny that he's doing very funny i get that very brison is the timing probably isn't great for optic just the timing that

i for sure that i hate the timing for sure well if his preparation of the long drive outweighs his preparation for whistling straits in the rider cup then it's a then it's a nightmare but i don't think that could possibly take place so like i've got no problem with him doing this and i kind of love it and all of his training and all his craziness but i'm saying even if any of it does like even if a percentage of it does then our guy is not focusing and we have a history of not doing what we need to do to win rider cup so now we're adding to that of like i don't want anything on his mind other than like all I want to do is win the

Ryder Cup. That's it. And instead, I think we're going to see Instagrams from him, like the weeks leading up to the rider cup of him being like, can't wait for the World Long Drive. So no, I want you to only not be able to wait for the Ryder Cup. That's it. I guarantee the way that you feel is how the Team USA locker room feels, no doubt. They're probably like, why is this guy doing this? But as a person, as just like a fan who watches Bryson D. Shambo and gets entertainment out of him being a little crazy and a little like aloof it should be i i find it very

interesting if it were i guess fregy like if it were the world series and like the home run derby was on like monday after the world series and like you know right right in after game two before game three you're seeing like erin jodge posted stuff about how jacked up he is like the home run derby you'd be like i want every part of your existence focused on winning the World Series. That's it. Yeah. See, that part is, it's up for debate.

Like, if he's going to do that, I agree. Like, if he starts doing that, that's a whole other conversation. But just committing to this, I don't think he should be getting backlash yet. Like, saying that you're showing up to this Monday event, to me is like, I don't know, these guys show up to events all the time, like the day after these tournaments and stuff. Like, I don't know that he should be getting all the flack just yet. if he does on Thursday or Friday of the fucking Rider Cup, start talking about this,

as Veniaz on Monday, it's going to be a problem. That will be a new podcast segment in which we all start ripping on Bryce and Deschamboe being like, hey, buddy, we're not winning the Rider Cup right now. You're worrying about hitting drives into fucking into another orbit. Let's just like, let's do this first. I'm going to keep a tally. I'm going to keep an Insta Story tally.

I'm going to keep a tweet tally on which way he goes. How many gets more? World Long Drive or Rider Cup? I think that's fair. I don't think he deserves backlash. I agree with that. I think it's just concerning. I'm putting it on my radar as a concern,

another concern going into the Ryder Cup. You also caught me on a bad day because we just saw Bryson today. And like he made me kind of giggle because he has his head like completely shaven where you can't see anything under his hat. And he's got that crazy scally cap hat thing again. And like he always does. But like the way he was walking today eating a banana, walked right by us,

you just looked at him. you're like, look at this fucking lunatic. Like, his head was bulging out of his hat. Like, he had, like, veins underneath his hat. He was, like, chewing on the fucking banana, like, blinking a million times, walking by all the other golfers. Like, the guy's a menace, and I, like, I love him and I fucking hate him all at the same time. I wanted to, like, I wanted to, like, bully him mentally. Like, I wanted to just, like, yell things at him and make him upset.

But then I also wanted to hug him and, like, dab him up. It's like, he just always gets me. me fucking going. I don't know where I land on Bryson. I just don't. If I got you on a really hate-filled Bryson day, you'd be team rigs right now, big time. Yeah, no, I'm going to stand by like, I

think it's going to be really cool to watch him in the long drive. That's why. When you said that, you were like, that was breaking news to me. I didn't even know he was doing that. So I actually really thought that was a good move for him and his career, to be honest. I agree with that. I just don't like the timing. It just makes me concerned. Chalking it up in the

concerned column. That's it. Yeah. And when he puts up five insta stories being like, oh, I can't wait to hit this ball 500 yards. What are we expecting this? Do you think this guy's going to fucking promote this, this long drive competition? Yes,

this guy's a fucking, no, this is why we don't like him. This is why people don't like it. We don't like that kind of shit. Like he does, if he does, I'll go crazy.

If Stricker, like, sits him for the Saturday afternoon session, I could see him posting Instagram in the afternoon being like gearing up for Monday's long drive, like on the fucking range. And it's that, Like that, again, it's a concern.

It's not, I don't think he deserves backlash. I'm not going to tweet anything at him right now, but it's a concern. I'm chalking it up for it. All right, we've got Riggs marked down as concerned, which I'm concerned. Fair. Very sure. Blue Nile.com is the original online jeweler.

Is that enough? Is that enough time? I'm going to get it. 25 days of Christmas.

Is it weird to go in November to be an all-in on Christmas? Is it the day after Thanksgiving, we roll right into it? Yeah. Do it tumble salt right into Christmas time. We won't cut out Thanksgiving. I agree with that. But I think right afterwards, and when the clock strikes midnight, we're Christmas mode. Yeah, I agree with that.

Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving Day is. He's November 25th this year. So we will have one full month of all in on Christmas. Yeah, dude. I'm in on that. All right. Let me put that in the calendar right now.

For play, Christmas. I'm a human being that gets to make my own decisions. I'm going to go take a piss. Okay. There's really nothing anyone can do to stop me. I was like thinking about not going. And I have to go so bad that I think I'm going to fuck. Right.

You're not in school anymore where you have to raise your hand and ask. It like hit me. I'm like, I can just get up. Yeah. And I'm got how weird it is that we have historically chosen not to do that on their show. Like it's some sort of professional obligation that we have to. And it's not going to take you that long. You'll be back in no time.

We'll hold down the fort. Enjoy it. It's very, very quick. Is what to, you know, I had, how do you guys feel about being the window seat? What degree of I have to pissness? Do you have to reach where you will alert? interrupt and inconvenience, the other two folks, to get up and you have to get out and pee on a plane. For me, personally, it has to be an emergency.

Just because, like, unless, I'm just not usually on a plane for that long. Most flight durations, I can hold my piss the whole time. But if it's a cross-country flight, that's a little different. But for the most part, two, three, four hours, I'm pretty good at holding it. So it's got to be a pretty dire situation. And I would hope that the public at large would also feel that way. Like I don't want somebody who's getting up all the time. They have one bottle of water and then they're up and then they're down and then they're up again after another bottle of water.

I'd like to hope that people would hold it for a decent amount of time. I had an aisle seat the other day, maybe a week ago or so. I was flying and the guy on the window I could tell about an hour into the flight. It was about two or a half hour flight. About an hour under the flight, he started to really look around. started to kind of give off the vibe of like feeling out the situation maybe 10 minutes later he tapped me and just gave me the thing and I got up and he did the whole spiel well fucking an hour later the guy starts to do it again and I'm like this isn't a uh we're not flying to

fucking Dubai here like it's it was a two and a half hour flight he went again the guy went twice in one flight and again it was uncomfortable because I could he's doing the whole kind of looking at me and seeing if I'll make eye contact with him and he gave me the whole thing. And so then I'm finally like, if you're going to fucking do this, like let's do this, now you're making me uncomfortable. I feel like I'm like ruining his day. But he's kind of, you can't, too is preposterous in one flight. Perposterous.

Yeah. And I guess there are people who have a condition. Doesn't Tommy smokes have a condition where he's got to piss every 10 minutes when he goes on a long car ride? Yeah. Well, he has a urine problem. Like he can't hold his urine. urine. Right. So what we're saying, we're still talking about it, even though you're now gone and

back, because it doesn't take that long. We're talking about on flights when you have an aisle seat or when you have a window seat, how often are you going to take a case? You got to be able to hold it. Yeah. It comes with the purchase of a window seat that you are a piss holder. And what I was, my question, Frankie, was what level on a one to ten, 10 being my urine is coming out of my weener right now? One to 10 scale, like what number do you have to reach that you will? will inconvenience the other two and be like, we got to, I got to get out. Yeah, it's like an eight or a nine. It's as high as it can get before it's a real problem.

And depending on the flight, the length of the flight, like even if I'm at an eight, if I know I have 25, 30 minutes left, I can maybe hold it in and just paint it out. But there is nothing worse than a multiple getter upper. It's like, dude, what were you thinking when you bought that fucking ticket? I gave him dirty looks the rest of the flight. I looked at him the whole time. I'm like, fuck you. I'm mad.

I'm, I am officially mad at you and I want you to know for the rest of the way. We can just switch seats and you'll, you can get up free and easy and I can sleep. Like, why are you sitting there and I'm sitting here? You clearly need to get up four times. Four times I have to get up. Exactly. So I'm, I always sit window because it's the only way that I could potentially get comfortable. So I always sit window.

And I never get up. However, if I do get up, I try to do it at the same time my, center and then aisle seats get up. So if I see them going to take a pee, that's a good time to get up and do it with them and work together. Yeah. But I think,

and maybe you guys are wrong on this, but I think the window is the most comfortable seat because you can kind of lob your body against the wall, but you are subjected to the fact that you're kind of locked in that seat. And I certainly would never wake somebody up napping unless I was going to pee my pants of, hey, it's time to go. And I've been, yeah. I've never woken somebody up.

And I never will. That's, you've gone too far. That's, like, a criminal, that's a felony. If you wake somebody up, that's on, that's sleeping on an airplane. Can't. Should be. Can't do that. Yeah, you can't do that.

Dude, I fucking saw one of the flight attendants in the last month, one of the flights I was on, woke somebody up to ask them if they wanted to drink. I have seen that. That's crazy. I have seen, I've actually seen that pretty, like, pretty consistently. Person was like, what the fuck? we doing here? Like that is a unwritten, I'm asleep.

I'm off comms right now. I'm forever. Don't like this is a cherished activity that I've engaged in where I've fallen asleep on a flight. You can't interrupt that. I don't care. If the plane's going down, don't wake me up. Like just,

matter what. Just leave me beat, man. I guess if you want to play devil's advocate, you could say that if you don't wake that person up and the drinks fly right by them, then they wake up and they're just, now they're mad that they didn't get something to drink. But you can wave down, you can wave them down and be like, I would like Coca-Cola or whatever. You're just an advocate of the devil today, aren't you? Well, I just, you know, I like to give people the other side of it.

Yeah. You know? Just because I feel like people are probably saying that. Because if you're sleeping and a drink goes by, how do you feel? Why are you sleeping then? I mean, you can't possibly wake up and be like, oh, I missed it. It's like, yeah, you were fucking sleeping. And you could also just wave them down and be like, I want a ginger ale.

Yeah. I agree. They shouldn't be waking that up, but I do see people get woken up a lot for drinks. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. The person was not happy. Then they couldn't sleep the whole rest of the time. They're doing the head fucking thing and they're like uncomfortable.

And they have a flight attendant just ruined it for him. But I thought it was societally we were all on the same page. If you're asleep, you are out on the drink delivery portion of the flight. You've removed your, you've removed your name from the eligibility of a drink from Delta Airlines. Agreed. Yep. Yeah. All right.

We got the tournaments occurring. We're trying to record. We've been all over the map. We've got travel and all kinds of stuff. Recording. We have a developing situation where Tony Finao is in second place. Oh, boy. Whoa.

John Rahm is leading the tournament, which I don't think surprising anyone. He's the best player on planet Earth. Where's Cam Smith? Cam Smith is in second two. It looks like Cam Smith just made a birdie to go one ahead of Tony. Feetown. Tony Feenehouse tied for third. They're about at the turn. We're just monitoring the fact that Mr. Feeneau is the most notorious runner-up player without a win ever alongside, really, his friend Louis Eustace. We got the both of the two of them are just racking up,

runner-up, so it's something to monitor. My prediction, and people know the answer to this by the time this podcast comes out, I think John Rahm is just going to win this thing. Yeah. We were actually on the grounds today, Trent. and Jake. And I tried to do a little thing where I tried to lure John Rom, the number one golfer on the planet. This was actually very good. Over to us today.

So our friend Pat Perez was putting around who, he looked like he was on an island today. Everyone had their teams and their coaches and they're all putting with them. And he's just putting to holes, like as if he was at the local municipal golf course, just putting to holes through people around people, like kind of just. with no plan it almost looked like. We should say that the overall mood with the Monday finish is, I think we called mopee. And it's just different.

I know that the players, they want to be there because it's an important tournament, but they didn't schedule in that they were going to be there until Monday and maybe Tuesday, depending on how much rain hits. It's such a regimented schedule on a PGA tour when you add that extra day. That Monday, I don't think they want to be on the golf course. Right. But. No chance.

I did see some positive tweets, though, people being like, there's worst places to be than New York City. But you think from being there, the vibe was like, no, like, it was like, it was like really muggy. It was like, it was cloudy. They didn't know if it was going to rain again. Like it got pushed back three hours today. They were supposed to tee off, maybe even more. They were supposed to tee off at 7.30. They ended up teeing off at 1130.

So it's a mess. It just drags. It's a long stay. It's like, yeah. We saw Justin Thomas, like, putting on new shoes. Yeah. He took just, like, socks off front of us. It was like a whole weird.

fucking, it was a weird vibe. And anyway, Pat Perez is putting in front of us, and I see John Rom walking towards the putting green. We've never had any contact with John Rom before. So I said, oh, man, this is my moment right now to lure this guy in. You know he's going to say, what's up to Pat Perez? So I yelled out to Pat Perez, Pat, what's up? And he sees us.

I'm like, oh, my God, it's working. Pat looks up, like he's about to walk over to us. I think maybe if Pat walks over to us and then John Rom walks by Pat, he stops right in front of us. They have a conversation. He goes, oh, yeah, I'm just talking to foreplay guys. Bam, it happens. But John Rom, that fucking guy was just too quick. He got to Pat Perez before he, so basically Rom got to Pat said what's up, patted him on the ass, and then kept walking. Then Pat made his stroll over to us. I was just a second too late. It almost worked, though. Like, that's the stuff that we try and do on these, on these ranges. That's how we don't try and get it. Work the range.

It did not work, but it was incredibly forward thinking. Oh, yeah. To try to have those chain that chain of events happened it didn't work but we were close speaking of chain of events i should notify the listeners and we have lurch is being kicked out of his hotel room live on the podcast right now lurch what's happening yeah so basically through my status i have a 4 pm. exit and i told them i was like hey it's a late checkout that's a late checkout it's great but i was like i really you know 5 p.m would be way better and i guess they said okay at the boot and then they just came out to me and said no so they just knocked at my door i said no thanks well i'm not i'm staying until five and then they've come back and said nope 4 p.m is it so i've been

notified that like i got to say i think it's very difficult to turn around a hotel room after four o'clock so i it is but i've got i'm well i'm a titanium elite member so i get are we able to kick him off as he has to leave on his own Excuse me. I apologize. It's a great question, Frank. God. Those, I just hate those, I hate those announcements when people are boarding the flight. You'd like to thank all of our titanium release status.

With the triple platinum, carrot, gold, diamond studded members, please board the plane. If you are boarding. I get it. I get it. I'm a piece of shit. I'm in section seven. Like, I'm in group seven. I have no worth to you.

If you're boarding with a wheelchair, you can board now. Or if you're a platinum elite status medallion member, you can also board. It's like, mine says area nine. What is that? When do I get on? And they're like, shut up. And they spit on Uziwark. Which is a huge status guy too.

Oh, I know. He always, always asking how many miles do I give to this? Can I get upgraded in my hotel? It's like, just go, man. Just go. So I was actually furious with United. So last week, I was in L.A., then Seattle for Friday, took a red eye home to make a buddy's wedding up in Lake Woodham Saki.

And I was actually supposed to be back out in San Diego today. But in that red eye home, so I took. hit overnight land. Our flight gets in late. And again, with my status, I was running to the plane. And as I turned the corner, I see Gate C-70, the plane headed to Boston, push back. Furious. So then I go to customer service.

I'm like, hey, what's the next flight out? They say 11 a.m., which I'm like, okay, I was supposed to be on like an 8 o'clock flight, 11, okay, a couple hours, whatever. So I head to the United Lounge, get there. at that point you have to show kind of like your united entry and then also your boarding pass i look at that and my flight's been delayed till 3 p.m. i didn't get a notification or whatever so the customer service rep just put me on a 3 p.m flight i would i was i would go back to i go what i mean what were we thinking whether just just like that i wasn't know my status yeah i'm a double titanium

when you did this if you don't have enough status i either pull my bag and i drove up to new hampshire like All right, so you're saying that you saw that plane backing out, right? And you're like, oh, I'm fucked. If you don't have enough status where they're going to bring that fucking plane back, then your status doesn't mean shit. I agree with you. I thought that was going to be the, I thought that was going to be the finale of the thing. Oh, we got to go back.

We forgot the triple titanium member. We got to pull this thing back in. Instead, you got fucked. Instead, you had to drive. That's what your status does for you. Yeah. Yeah. What kind of rental car status you got?

Pretty high? Nothing. Nothing good. I saw some guy at the Yankee game the other day. I said, man, this guy fucking reminds me to lurch. You love him? Why? He just reminded me of you. He's like a big body, getting drinks for everyone. He was just like

annoying as shit right in front of me. Just like he was right in front of us. Like he was like, he was like the only guy knew how to talk to everyone in the section. He was like, ah, can you believe this game? Looking at me. Like, look at it. What a day for ball game. I'm like, bro. get the fuck out of my face right now

I was like I looked over where I was like this guy reminds me of fucking lurch right now status and fucking medallion members this guy was a medallion guy was in the legend suite oh yeah uh Taylor made golf Before we before we

Before we throw it to Patrick Peterson We're gonna discuss Taylor made golf You go to barcelports.com slash Taylor made we're all Taylor made athletes on this show It's led to Trent Career round It's led to a couple of us lowest handicats

You ever had And then there's Frankie who You know, we're still working on But well, hold on now You're your score of Rockville that time That was really low Recently? No, no, no, no no no I'm talking

I mean this was months ago Yeah, I think it was a little bit lower than that You know 74 Yeah, I think it was 74 Yeah, I wasn't 74 You play a lot I'll talk about though Because it wasn't filmed every shot

But it was we updated on Instagram This is fantastic We do. It's just people fucking They're nasty on Twitter and Instagram. I don't like, that's something between me and you that I was like a low round. I know we did, but people they don't fucking know. All right. I'm sorry.

But you did them with Taylor Made Clubs, man. There's something. You worried about the Instagramers right now? No, you know, it's just like that round. I don't know. It's like, that was between me and Trent. That was like, that's a memory I have. We posted it on Instagram.

Yeah, we gave them a little sneak peek. Okay. We let them see it. Instagram is very public. Anyway, Taylor made. You played great time. So the Sim2 family, fantastic. Chee code, that's what we've been calling it.

The driver's Sim2, Sum 2 Max. You get the Fairway Woods. 11 sound engineers, I think, is how many they employ to work on that puppy. And it works. It sounds, you cannot believe the sound. In fact, if you're going to post something on Instagram and you're not, you don't even have to hit a good one necessarily. It might go way, left, way, right?

People won't ever know because the way it sounds like you hit the best T-shot that has ever been hit. Their irons, P770s, P790s are as good as they get the spider. It's pretty much impossible to hit it offline. So all Taylor Made products, the golf ball, they got the Tor response, which is not quite as economically difficult to get as the TP5, TB5X, but that golf ball, which is what we all use as good as it gets. So Taylormade just gets it. They're the best equipment company on planet Earth.

Anybody have anything else before I throw this to one of the great defensive players in the last decade in the NFL. Sorry to miss the people at Green Rock last week. And in Hoboken, something came over me, in me, on me. I almost fucking died. I don't know what happened.

I got back on Wednesday. Practice with Dave Portnoy for the Dave versus Brooks match. Oh, by the way, I'd like to get your guys' takes on Dave. I mean, that was the first time we've seen him swing since the Mulligan Challenge out at, was the last time we saw him, was that Pebble Beach? Yeah. Yeah. So, um, what did you guys think?

Because I'll say right off the rip, pleasantly surprised to see my guy just being able to swing a golf club freely, hitting balls right down the middle. His wedge game is. That's what I was going to say. The wedge he hit on the, the whole that you guys live streamed was great. Guys, I'm not kidding.

I'm not just saying this because he's Dave and he's my boss and he's my guy and I'm team Fort Neuf through and through since I was born. but this guy this guy has his wedges so dialed in to the point where we were 60 yards away and he goes what should I use and I was like all right let's take this 58 degree and let's like choke down a little bit

and let's just try and like punch this thing onto the green like a 60 yard shot to me I mean and I'm not the best person to be able to explain this but like a 60 yard shot to me is something like you can almost throw it onto the green from there right like you're this is a feel shot this isn't anything where you're swinging full

and he goes no this is a full sandwich for me And I was like, how is that, like, what are you talking about? I don't even know what that means. He goes, watch. So I said, no, just hit it like 50%. He does. It goes, it goes nowhere. Next time he goes, he does this, like, really loose, full swing 58 degree, and it lands

pin high, 65 degrees. I said, what the fuck just happened? I threw another ball down on him. I said, do that again. Let's see how consistent that is. When I tell you guys on this one hole that we didn't film, he hit four balls to five feet from 65 yards to five feet, four balls in a row. me and Brendan Jones were laughing uncontrollably.

I said, you have this so dialed in. I said, is everything now 10 yards from there? He has a 60 degree. We went to 55 yards. He hit it to like five feet. I mean, the guy does not miss wedges. I don't know what it is. Full swing wedges.

They go nowhere and they just lands off. I feel better about his chances than I did before I saw the foot. For sure. Definitely. There's no doubt. I mean, the guy on a live stream made a bar. Made part. And his point was very clear of like, okay, if the guy's going to make a bunch of birdies, Brooks Kepka, then yeah, I'm going to lose.

But otherwise, if I'm making pars and even bogeys, like, you're going to have yourself a match. So, yeah, I feel better about his chances since I saw that. How is his, how is his rapport with eBug? His rapport was great. I mean, you know, we only played a couple, like, we only played like eight or seven holes or something like that at that point. because he just like Dave's funny in the fact that he's like why am I going to practice on these greens if they're not the greens that that we're playing on and that I that stumped me I didn't really know how to answer that right like we would get up to the ball on the green goes well I don't need to practice

this this has nothing to do with what the greens that we're going to be playing on and I said you're right we just pick up meanwhile like you want to practice the stroke a little bit you want to get a feel for how long he goes well why would I get a feel for these greens I'm like I don't know Sounds to me like a guy that just didn't want to practice. No, it's not that. He was making pretty damn good points. But, you know, his shoulders are his shoulders and he just wants to be able to like, he wants to be ready.

This was a first time swinging in the year. We all know you don't want to, you don't want to wear yourself out on your first practice. So it was a great first practice. We have other ones in place for, we're planning. And I was pleasantly, pleasantly, pleasantly, pleasantly surprised that this guy can hit this golf ball this well. I mean, when I tell you on whole seven, he hit a 295-yard drive right down the middle, baby fade, 295. Dude, our caddy who was with us, who was at East Hampton Golf Club, shout out East Hampton Golf Club. Holy smokes is this place fucking phenomenal.

I mean, you want to talk about the best clubhouse you've ever seen in your life? Best clubhouse I've ever seen in my life. It looked like Liberty National inside, but on the outside it was that classic Hampton's look, where everything was like shiplap shingles on the outside, like these big-ass fucking, What kind of shingles? I called them Shiplap. I just never heard that before. Shiplap?

Shiplap was like on the inside. So Shiplap is Chip and Joanna. I'm really exposing myself right now. It's a HGTV couple. And they invented this thing called Shiplap. Yeah. Producer Jake has shown me right now. I wasn't trying to expose you.

I didn't really invent it, but I had never heard of that before. Yeah, I watched a lot of XGTV. They're going to escort me. Get out of here. See you later. See you later. See you, George. Great looking clubhouse.

Oh, my God. Great looking club house. East Hampton Golf Club, they were very accommodating, gave Dave the back range. He was able to just, like, work on some things. And then we went right out there with their caddy, and the caddy was amazing. And it was just a really good practice day. But Dave can hit the golf ball. Right when we got to the range, he took a seven iron out of the bag.

And shout out to Taylor Made. That's why I brought this up. He has all Taylor Made clubs now. He's got the Sim 2 irons, which I thought I was a little nervous about. about giving to him because I didn't know if he was going to get mad that he wasn't hitting like 790s or 770s or whatever but never he didn't say anything about them they're perfectly cavity back they're perfect um for the type of golfer that he is he plays once a year he admits that and um man he took the seven iron smoked a draw a draw like a 160 yards seven iron 170

Yard 7 iron. It was nuts, man. We have some gaps in his in his clubs. Like his wedges don't go anywhere, but his irons go really far. It's amazing. He hits 175 yards. That's like 170, 175. So I'm starting to write them all down on my notes app for when we caddy. And I'm getting jacked up, man. He's he's, the biggest thing for him is getting off the tea on his first try. Like there were a couple times where like we tee it up and we'd get like some of like the hooks or like or the poles and, and, you'd be like, all right, like, let's reset, like take the club straight back, like stop coming from the inside. And then he would crank one down the middle.

And then once we're on the fairway, it's par or bogey golf. It really is. It's par or bogey golf once Dave is on the fairway. It's just about getting him off the tee. So like, do we then just go iron off the tea after the first couple of holes? Like, we are going to play this match to win. Dave has going to be in this match. Brooks is going to have to make birdies, man.

He's going to have to. I don't know that he can lefty. Trent, what do you think? I asked you guys originally what you guys think. I would like, I want Dave Portnoy to win. I said for months now that there's just no way. I don't think he is close enough in terms of the fact he plays fucking once a year. And that Brooks Kepka is one of the best golfers in the world, even if he's playing on the other side of the ball.

I think he's going to be to just figure out how to get the ball on the hole significantly better than Dave. And that's it. this has in my mind dramatically changed I think Dave's odds just seeing that it wasn't a one-off when he showed up at the at this at the Mugan Challenge a few years ago that like he could just come up

hit a golf ball for the first time in a year and hit it pretty decently and make a par on a live street I think it's going to be closer than I thought and that's encouraging I want Dave to represent martial sports and defeat Brooks Kepka right and I would also argue that that live streamed hole, and I don't know, I don't know how Dave feels going into the match, I have no idea. But I would imagine he even feels far more confident after the par on that hole where he's

like, oh, I can't actually do this. Big time. Because before that, he hadn't played. He has no idea where his game's at. He doesn't know where he's going to hit the ball if he's going to be able to keep it on the map. And then to par that one hole, for him to get more confidence makes me far more confident in him.

Because if he's confident, he can do anything. He can par, bogey. and I think that to a certain extent, to a certain degree, will be able to beat Brooks, at least give him a match. Because I think we all want this match to at least have some drama to the point where it just keeps going. It goes all the way to the end. And I think after watching him hit a few shots,

I think he's got a far better chance than I think anyone realized. Much better chance than anyone realized. I'm really excited for that. But anyway, so Wednesday I'm out in Montauk with him doing that. And you guys were out at the pro-am, so I missed all the missiles going by people's heads. And then I come back on Wednesday night, drove all the way back from Montauk with eBug. We stopped that best pizza in Montauk, really good fucking pizza. I'm not going to say it's the best pizza because that's the name of the place, but fantastic pizza.

This guy, Frank Pinello, I think is his last name, open this place up. It's outrageously good pizza. If you're out in Montauk, you got to go to best pizza. So we're on our way back, and I'm starting to feel really fucking down and, like, tired. and I'm starting to feel like so just dragged out and my neck is so in so much pain. My back is in so much pain. I can't even move. I can barely drive at this point.

Drop eBug off at Borelli's. That's where we met. It was funny. He sent me a video. My dad, Eibug met me at Borreleys. And my dad is just in the back like putting together a fucking weed whacker or something, like laying on the concrete in the 100 degree weather. And E bug sends me a video.

He goes, what is this man do all day? He just works all day long. He does it all. He does it all. He was putting together. He was like fucking threading the needle. I don't know what the fuck he was doing. So we end up going home and I'm like, fuck, man, I do not feel good.

Wake up the next morning, Thursday morning, the morning of the Green Rock watch party, whatever we guys were doing with Owen's Mixers. I know. I hate calling it. I know. We call it a watch party. And I woke up with a 1% recovery in my wop. And I felt as hot as ever. I'm like, I feel fucking horrible right now.

You woke up with a 1% and what? You slept for 10 hours? 10.5 hours of sleep. One percent recovery. That's an impossible percentage to have that much sleep unless you're sick. So I'm like, all right, like COVID again or something happened. I'm John Romming it right now. Just going to get COVID like something.

I'm going down. This is bad. And I wait an entire day. I sleep it off. I'm like, I'm sleeping, sleeping, drinking liquids. I'm not feeling any better. I'm sweating through my shirts. I'm like, guys, I can't come tonight.

I'm sorry. Let people know. Like I wish I could be there. Zawa was there. Farty Mush. Spider was there. Was large there? Great crew.

Yeah. He was there for a little bit. Captain Conner. There was a fucking great crew. I missed it all. I was fucking pissed. I'm like, you know, I'm going to get one night's sleep and I'm going to be fine by tomorrow. I wake up Friday morning and I felt fucking kind of like shitty again. I'm sorry. Thursday ended up getting tested is what happened. Right. Your mom drove you too. I was so sick, guys, that my mom had to drive me to City MD. I was so disoriented on Thursday. I woke up with that 1% recovery. I'm like, guys, I'm fucking feeling like shit right now. My mom drives me. I was telling people in passing at the watch party. They're like, oh, yeah, where's Frank? It was like, I went to the hospital. And then they're just like, what? Yeah.

Dude, 103.2 fever they clocked me at at CDMD. And the guy was like, holy shit, you're hot. The other year was like 102.9. I'm like, what is happening to me right now? Does a COVID test negative? Does a strep test negative? It gives me a PCR COVID test so that I had to wait and see what that was. And he's giving me, he gives me an antibiotic.

And I tell you guys, I went from a 1% recovery. And I don't know if this is a one in a billion recovery from one. I went from 1 to 5. No, I went from 1 to 97 recovery between days. Modern medicine. Modern medicine. I took antibiotic and a prednisone, whatever the fuck that is. It made me feel like shit.

I'll tell you that. It made me like want to puke the prednisone. But I went from a 1% loop recovery to a 97% root recovery. I got a negative PCR COVID. test. I'm fine. I didn't get it for the fucking third time or whatever it was. So I'm feeling good now. Now I'm back. But whatever got in me, whatever was in me was death. You said something very funny where when you were sweating through shirt after shirt after shirt, you said, I think this is the last thing that happens. I think the body just throws water on itself and then you die. That's what you were,

you were in such bad shape that you were like, I think my body. It was a last defense. It's the last defense last resort it just throws by water on itself aka sweats or you die dude wednesday night i was so sweaty that i i went through four i couldn't not wear a shirt because i was sweating through the bed so i was getting shirts on and sweating through the shirts where you could actually ring out my shirt like i fell in a pond that's how sweaty i was i would go to take off the t-shirt and it wouldn't come off me it was a last defense i think it was like really just trying to cool me down And like you said, too, if you're in the 1500s, you're just dead. Dead.

Modern medicine saved my life this week. It really did. But I wish that was that free. Isn't amazing that people out there are smart enough that they created something that they just put inside your body? And it defeated whatever was eliminating you and fighting you. Almost instantaneously. When the doctor kind of eliminated that it was COVID, because he looked at my throat and saw some like little white dots. And he's like, oh, it could be a form of strap or something.

He's like, that's when he knew. And after the test, obviously we knew. but he's like, now that we know that, he goes, getting you healthy will be absolutely no issue. And I was like, I don't even know what that means. He goes, I'm going to give you this pill and you're just going to be fine by tomorrow. And I swear I just was. Like the prednisone and the ZPAC that he gave me, the combination, the next day,

I was perfectly fine, perfectly fine. I imagine being that confident in anything ever. He like laughed it off. He goes, oh, getting you healthy is no issue tomorrow. And you thought you're going to die. Die, yeah. You're like, you don't understand. I've been sweating through the floor of my room.

So that's a little update on my life. That's why you weren't at Green Rock. That's why. I know. People probably. Shout out to everybody that came out. A lot of people came out. A lot of people who drove a pretty good distance.

And they were going to the tournament, but they were also like, hey, we're going to stop by and see the four play guys. It was cool. It's always cool to have a meet up like that. Quite a few people drove. And I said just for this, I like, yeah. It's like, why? What are you doing?

But it was, it was. It was very fun. How was the bar? You hear all about this bar all the time. Like, Glendie Ball says, like, it's his favorite place on earth. It turned into a scene. It was great. It was, it was fun.

It was young. It was, you know, this kind of a happy hour type crew that then, you know, that. Pat Light there. He was. Pat Light was there. We were doing some, did a few drinks with him. He, like, takes you down in the basement. And it's kind of a tradition, I guess, a lot of the barstle people and him and kind of his staff to have, like, a quick drink and just kind of hang with him,

which was cool. Hubs was there hanging with Hubs quite a bit. Who's great. I hadn't seen a lot of these people because I moved away and just went to Scottsdale. So it was great to see a lot of the folks. So Pat Light was awesome. I tweeted about a baseball game. It was five years old. And I was very serious.

What? Yeah. Yeah. Well, I got dogged by people that I was standing with because they, I guess they just run the game over and over again on like repeat on big nights like that. win was the Angels like beat the socks like 20 to 2 and it's Pat Light and it's like an inside joke that they do and I

I don't follow baseball at all so I'm just looking at I basically follow Jared Carapis that's so my only source of baseball and hubs and those guys going back and forth so all I know is that the Red Sox are on a bad skid and they're just they're all like suicidal and it's very funny

and so I look up at the fucking TV and they got the game on and it's 20 to 2 the Red Sox losing. And I said to the guys next to me, I go, is this a real fucking game right now? And they go, oh yeah. And I was like, unbelievable. But even then at my radar, my spidey sense was, you know, I wasn't commenced. So I waited about a half hour. And I looked again. It was like 20 to two still. And I said, is this a real game? People with me are like, oh yeah, the Red Sox are on a terrible right out. I was like, amazing. So I tweeted and chirp Caravis. And I was like, I don't know,

remember exactly what I said. But then we went down, we're hanging out with Pad Light and the crew with Hubs. And I said like, man, tough like night again for the socks or something. They're like, that game's five years old. We play that here all the time. And I was like, oh, no. Turns out my tweet was worded so coincidentally bad for how knowledgeable I was that it came off like I was in on the joke. And, okay. Karabas even responded and said, hope we're having a great night with Pat Light, one of my favorite people. Like, I know you're just chirping me because you're with him, and I got off Scott free.

But I will admit, for the record, I 100% tweeted that thinking it was a real-time baseball result, and I would just fire a random shot at my friend Jared Krofts. Man, they just run that game, huh? That's like the inside joke of the bar. I has been having a bunch of drinks. So I didn't know the whole inside joke. But, yeah, I think that's, it's involved with Pat Light and the socks,

and it's funny. and they kind of do it and it's on all the time. He's like a picture of the fucking of the scoreboard, 20 to 2 in your own. Is this real Jared Kravis? Saw it at a bar. Hope it's fake, buddy. Oh, yeah. So you, yeah, you can play that off.

Yeah. Totally. Like, it's like, oh, I'm just ribbing Jared Krabba's. Nobody even roasted me. They're all like, ha, ha, like, that's fun. Yeah, kind of decent tweet, whatever. And then nobody thought anything of it. And I, Hubbs was like, yeah, you just got to ignore that.

And no one will really notice. And I was like, amazing. But if I tweeted that I probably would have said, is this happening right now or something like that? And everyone would be like, no, it's not, you asshole. Yeah, 15 years ago, douchebag. Stop mixing your cereals. Stop mixing your cereals, you fucking clown.

Somebody put this guy in the fucking jail. Okay, SimplySafe. We're going to do SimplySafe before we get to Patrick Peterson and then we're going to be out of here.

And, you know, hopefully see everyone there. Hopefully we can raise some money back to the place. And hopefully, like, you know, you can basically clean us out, clean Burrellies out of all the stuff that we're going to be bringing. Clean them out. Stop by. say hi to Laredo and Mr. Borelli. Yeah.

All right. We'll be back on Thursday. Hit it hard. Hit it hard. All right, folks. We're joined straight from camp. He's got the clap game down as well. Minnesota Vikings,

eight-time pro bowler, and I believe a pretty big golfer these days. Patrick Peterson, welcome to the show. Hey doing. Doing great. Thanks for that warm welcome. Oh, yeah. I imagine, you know,

in the middle of camp, it's probably a nice little reprieve to get away and chat a little golf. No doubt about it. Hell yeah. How has you got? I mean, you play a lot of golf. You've recent to golf.

You've been playing your whole life. What's your, what's your kind of experience with the game of golf? I've been playing since 2011. So this is, this will make what April made 10 years. April that just passed. So I'm still kind of fresh into the golf game. But, you know, once that golf bug bit me, it was hard to kind of flick it off, you know. And I'm being lucky enough to be drafted.

Arizona where the sun is always out year-round. You don't have to worry about any seasons or anything like that. You know, if it's not below 35, which it rarely gets, you know, you kind of want to hang to close up a little bit. But for the most part, 10 years into the golf game, my handicap down is down to a three. But like I tell all my guys all the time, golf is a day-to-day sport. And that three don't show up all the time. But when he do, watch out.

How did you get the bug? Was it like playing with a specific group of guys or like what made you want to pursue picking up the game? When I got drafted, I came into the league on that lockout year. So after workouts every day, I wanted to find something to do and still stay competitive. You know, I didn't want to run my body in the ground by just training around the clock every single day. I needed to break at some point to let the body come to kind of recruit and get ready for the next day. So I was living in Palm. I cannot think of the name of the place

while I was living in Hollywood. And they had like this. This was top golf before top golf. They had like this huge lake or pond. And they had like a bunch of bays to where you can just go out and just hit ball into the bay. And they had a couple of targets out there in the lake as well. And my first club I ever hit seven is my favorite number.

And it was a seven iron. And I hit it just, I kid you not straight as an arrow. but the ones after that was not so straight. But after seeing that first shot go straight, I was like, hmm, this is what everybody's been talking about, you know, because you always hear about when you're in the profession that I am

and being an athlete, like you want to find something else that can keep that competitive juices going with your boys. And after that first shot, I was like, okay, I think I might get a hang of this game. And then I'm obviously getting drafted in Arizona and everywhere in Arizona,

zone and there was a golf course within three miles of each other. So all I saw was golf courses. And I was like, I think this is a calling and a sign for me to get into the game. And that's when I got into it. If that seven iron hadn't gone straight, would you have just given it up right that and there? No, no, because I still, because you always hear the notion that, you know, golf is a game that you can't master with me being a guy that I feel I have to master my position to be good at it. You know, it kind of gave me that extra motivation to try to, you know, try to continue getting better as I can. Do you get,

do you get, like, pissed off when you, when you can't master golf, right? Because, like, your position,

you've been the best in the world. You've been the best at pretty much every level. And then you get out there on the golf course. And like you said, sometimes you show up and you're a three and you're a stick and you're destroying people. Other times, I'm sure you're like the rest of us, you show up and you're like,

ooh, boy, is it going sideways today. Right, no doubt about it. It's definitely been like that a couple times. Like when I last off the day, last Sunday, the golf game definitely went a little north for sure. But I got an excuse, you know, going and practice every day, lifting weights and things like that, kind of getting away a little bit of my golf game.

But, you know, I don't mind it. You know, as long as it's where it needs to be by the time I get to Tahoe, I think I'll be okay. I got to say hitting range ball, I don't know what it is, man, but hitting range balls, hitting balls into water. Like if everybody's ever hit a driving range where the landing area is water, no matter what it, it's game changing. It's so satisfying to hit balls out

into a body of water. It's great. That's the only time I want to hit it into water. Oh, yeah. Who are some of the guys you played with when you got drafted in Arizona? Who were some of the guys that you would go out and play with a lot?

Larry Fitz has got to be at the top of the list, right? Yeah. No doubt about it. Play with Fitz the most. Under Roberts when he was there, Carson Palmer, Bradley Sowell, Gerard Powers, Richard Johnson, Michael Floyd. I had a good crew. Yeah, we had Drew Butler, which was a stick, played with Andy Lee. Pretty much all the specialists every year, we definitely always played a had a game with those guys.

but as the years went on and as I got older, you know, the locker room started to get, the locker room started to change. It's starting to get younger. And all these, all the younger players, all they wanted to do is play like, you know,

I don't even know the name in that game. Like, it's like you in war. Call the Do you. Yeah, C-O-D. Yeah, C-O-D, yeah. And, you know, all the younger generations are more into the video games.

And, you know, when I first got in the league, it was almost like, let's go hit the links after practice. or, you know, we got a short day. Let's go hit the links. It was always trying to get to the golf course because we also, like I said, kept those competitive juices role. So I got a good, I got a good Larry Fitz story.

So I first time I ever met him, I'm Mountain Shadows, you know, Part 3 course. Oh, yeah. He, like, lives right there now. So I didn't really know that. So I was like the last tea time off is like 5 p.m. It's probably four, three or four months ago. It was like 5 p.m. last guy off going by myself. We got a little music playing.

I tee off. and then I see Larry Fitzgerald walking up behind me and he's like hey man what's your name I was like I'm Riggs and he's like all right Riggs you mind if I like join you and play with you and I was like no man like that'd be awesome so you know he tees off he gets up to the green and we're putting he goes all right Riggs how much money you bring with you so we had ourselves a little game we ended up all square after after 18 but now he kind of messages me we chat about golf but that guy loves golf oh that he does that does. That's kind of strange

that he'll offer you a bet, but I can't get a bet on the golf course. That's because you're down to a three. He ain't playing. He didn't want too many strings. I can't give him five strips. It's just not half of this. I tell him all the time, like, you're a Pebble Beach AT&T champion.

You should be playing me straight up. I don't care, I don't care what your handicap is. Yeah, because what's he playoff of? Is he play off like, he tries to play off like a nine or something? Lord knows, man. You know, he He got it down to a science week and he can kind of raise that index up a little bit every now and then. It's down to his science. So you mentioned your favorite number seven earlier.

That's tied into a lot. Now, once you moved over to Minnesota, you're going to wear number seven. I believe, like no D-backs worn single-digit number. Is that right? Yeah, yeah, I believe so. It's been a while. It's been a while I know that, at least in the – So I know Larry Wilson, which is a safety, he wore it with the partners.

I can't remember what year it was, but he was number eight. But it was a long time ago. Is that like an interesting process to that, or you just rolling down? You're like, yeah, I'll take number seven. And they're like, all right, cool, man. You know, honestly, I got kind of lucky because I changed teams right when they changed the rule. I believe if I was with the Cardinals, it would have been like some type of payout process I would have to do because of the jerseys that was made and this stuff and the other.

So it was an easy transition for me. So once I got news that the league was going to approve single digits to just not only quarterbacks and receivers, yeah, just quarterbacks. And specialists, I was like, oh, I'm all game for sure. I got to get number seven. And it just happened to work out coming back to my old roots, that purple and yellow. And it just felt right. You know, I just thought it was the right thing to do at that point.

Sure. And then you got into the NFT game. You got, you know, you're using it, it looks like, as an opportunity to raise money for Patrick Peterson Foundation for success. But, you know, how does somebody decide to get into the NFT game? Yes, on fandom.com slash p2 to have a chance to win, you know, that NFT, which is a pretty cool jersey of, of my LSU number seven and also with me being in the Minnesota Vikings number seven as well.

And it's all for my charity. You know, it's for a great cause. Patrick Peters and Foundation for Success is to help kids with getting an upper leg on literacy because we know how important that is into this world. You know, if you're not able to, you know,

read directions or understand what's going on, you're going to have a hard time of being successful. So when the opportunity presented itself to me, I thought it was a no-brainer to not only get the fans involved, but also have my foundation reap the benefits so these kids can now have a much part of the future. Well, went into the end of starting the foundation. How long are you doing the foundation? What kind of motivated you?

You know, I mean, you're a busy guy. You're obviously pro athlete, one of the best in the world of what you do. I clearly like to play golf. I'm sure whenever you're just exhausted from the season for camp, you know, you're going to choose to kind of focus your efforts on how. but other people. What all went into that? You know, coming from Brow County pretty much is like an athletic mecca. You know, you have all type of sorts of different athletes coming out of the county of Broward.

But at the same time, you know, a majority of them don't have the keys to be successful in the classroom or have the right tools to be successful in the classroom, which ultimately is going to get them to the next level. So the Patrick Peterson Foundation for Success been going on since 2014. And like I said, with Brown County being, having so many great NFL greats come out of that county, you know, just seeing those guys, you know, laid a foundation for us for when I was able to be on this platform that I am on a day. I wanted to be able to be able to get back to my community wherever it was, which if it was in Florida, Arizona, now being here in Minnesota, just show the community that, you know, that we are out here to help you guys. And going back to why I started it, you know, seeing so many great athletes come through

Blanjeeley, through my middle school, even elementary, but not having the confidence and not having the proper resources to help them with their literacy skills because, you know, nine time not 10, that's what's holding, you know, kids back. not having the proper tools to be successful in the classroom. So I thought it was a no-brainer for me because I feel like so many, so many athletes go, you know, fall to the wayside by not having that area in their life cleaned up. And, you know, so like I said, I just wanted to just show the community, whatever community

that I was in, that I'm willing to give a help in hand because at the end of the day, these kids are definitely our future. It's cool, man. It's really cool. Anytime you see somebody who uses their success and, you know, uses it to do selfless stuff, it's just, it's cool. It's awesome. It's very. And not only, you know, not only literacy, but we have turkey giveaways. We have shop with a job. We visit hospitals, children's hospitals on Christmas or throughout the season. If time permits to seven or last year, obviously going through COVID, but didn't really have the opportunity to do a couple of those things.

I have a feed the homeless on Tuesdays. Every Tuesday is still going on in Arizona. Feed the homeless every Tuesday. Because like I said, you know, I just want to just show the community that I'm definitely willing to give out of Atlanta helping hand. That's awesome. That's awesome. That second one, you said shop with a jock?

Yep, shop with the jock. What's that? Just get a group of kids. I think the most we ever have was about 200. just taking the Walmart, a Target or wherever, you know, my foundation is able to get a sponsorship. Yeah. We'll have a little shopping spree. I think last year I gave the kids, I want to say 200 bucks apiece.

And it's been going up every year because, you know, just, you know, that's like the best time of the year, you know, Christmas time. And a lot of kids don't have, you know, the opportunity to go to the store and get what they want. You know, and I just feel it's nothing like seeing a smile on the first time. those kids faces when they have an opportunity to go in Walmart and get a bite or get a video game. And the most beautiful thing about the whole situation that these kids are just not thinking about themselves. They be getting going to school. I got to get a gift for my mom. I got to get a gift for my dad. I got to get a gift for someone else. And just showing that, that selflessness attitude, you know, when they're not even, you know, able to, you know,

to make themselves happy. They're willing to go. They're willing to go. out and try to, all right, they're giving something, but at the end of the day, I'm still thinking about my loved ones at home because they don't have this same opportunity that I have. That's awesome. Those kids must go nuts running around. Women must be so excited running around.

Oh, yeah, they go nuts some of the time. And it do be time to where they go over the limit, and I just have that soft spot of my arm, like, just ringing if I take care of that. That's great. That's awesome. Don't let the kids hear this because they'll be going way over this. Yeah, they're always telling them.

Because I typically try to shop with all the kids, and I kind of know, obviously, I know their limit, and I know the gifts that they, that they're, that they're, the, the toys and stuff that they're getting. So I kind of have, like, a calculator in my head, all right, you're getting kind of close now. I've got to give them, like, a $50, $50 limit to go over. So it can't be over $100 and we'll go to the, I go to the cash register with all the kids, seeing their numbers. All right.

Get the cash your thumbs up if it's over. If it's under, I let them keep their. keep their, keep their cards, you know, just things like that. Just like I said, Christmas to me is the best time of the year. And everyone in the world looks forward to that. It's not like, you know, like Thanksgiving. Although Thanksgiving is a great holiday, but everybody don't typically look forward to Thanksgiving like they do Christmas or a birthday.

We're a huge Christmas podcast. We made a big pledge. We made a big pledge this year that we're going all in on Christmas. December 1st. This podcast is a full Christmas podcast. Sometimes you got to remind you. yourself about it, right? Because like, it'll be December 18th. You're like, man, I just

didn't do anything Christmasy this year. I didn't get in the spirit. And I just feel like we need to really like put our foot down and we are going to be Christmas people this year. I love it. I love it. That's really awesome what you're doing, man. So you're excited to be in, you know,

a new team. I mean, it was it 10 years with Arizona? It's been a long time, 160-something games. Like, does this feel like how does it feel to be with a whole new organization? It's like a fresh start. Do you feel like a rookie again a little bit?

Definitely don't feel like a rookie again. It's an awesome opportunity that me and my family have a shot at experiencing. Being with a team for 10 years, you kind of don't know how other teams move around. You always have that thought on your mind. I'm like, oh, I wonder how they do it. I wonder how they do it.

or are we doing it the wrong way or whatever the case may be. But for the most part, we look at it as a fresh breath of air. You know what I mean? You know, you can be somewhere for, you know, for so long and things can kind of get stagnant or you can kind of get, you know, I won't necessarily say drain, but, you know, things can start to get old. And, you know, and now being here in Minnesota, it just feels like a fresh start for me. The team has definitely embraced me.

You know, guys come to work each and every day as I do. You know, everyone has just been awesome around here since day one. You know, so I'm excited to be here. And I think, you know, if we can do, we have all the pieces that we need to be successful. Now we just got to go out there and do the work. And you've got new golf courses to explore. Yeah, new golf. Yeah, that's true.

Minnesota's got some of the nicest people in the country. They're so nice of the best golf, too. Some of the best golf. I agree. And I played all the time. top ones here so far. So I only been here, what, since May? So I'm getting in there.

So he played what, Winsong Farms? Yeah, I played Winsong, play Haysen, play Haysoutin, play Spring Hill, Enronin, White Bear Club. I'm playing Mindicada, I think that's the name of it, Mindicado tomorrow. Have you played Olympic yet?

I haven't played Olympic, but I heard that's probably one of the better ones out here. I'm trying to get on there Labor Day weekend. Awesome. It's great. We were up there a couple weeks ago. It's got really hard greens. Like, the greens are tough. Yeah, that's what I hear. Minnesota's a little bit mad at me right now. I said it's got the worst weather in the country.

I got several emails. People are kind of trying to... Yeah, are you at all concerned about going from Arizona to Minnesota, it's quite a change in terms of climate. I'm excited about it because I never had an opportunity to live, you know, through a season. You know, it was pretty much all sunny. year round. So have an opportunity to have a real, a true spring. The summers here was not as bad as Arizona summer for sure. But it can get a little bit, it can get a little of humid, which I'm used to going to LSU, being from Florida. I'm not, I wasn't really concerned about that. But the winners, I'm looking forward to it, but I'm not excited about it.

I'm just saying. That first, we got to get you back on the show in mid-January. I understand. I understand. Fuck the winter sucks. I know you're being diplomatic because you're new to Minnesota and you just move there, but I'm from the Midwest. That winter, you're right, it's nothing to be that excited about. Right. And my kids are definitely excited about, especially my oldest, because she found out that school can possibly get canceled on a snow day.

He was all excited about that. I'm telling you, like, at a 34-year-old adult now, there's nothing better than checking the ticker on the TV. Now I've got the internet. But man, at like 8 o'clock at night, you'll see your school scrolls across. School day, snow day tomorrow. It's like, let's go. There would usually be like a phone.

There would be like each, all the moms would call each other. And like so like when your phone would ring at like 10 o'clock at night, you'd know, like, tomorrow. You start a click up. Right. Yeah. That's awesome. Also, now you got a chance for a white Christmas, too, which is like the best thing in the world when you get snow on Christmas.

And, you know, we've been fortunate enough to be able to go to have white Christmas. Fair enough. Obviously not in Arizona. But, you know, we've been to Flagstaff, been to Vell, been to Asper, a couple times since my kids been born. So they had an opportunity to, you know, experience winter. But I told them it's a difference versus going to visit it versus living in it. Big time. It's going definitely be a...

Once your car gets stuck in the driveway the first time, you're going to be like, fuck this place. I miss winter, man. Winter's great. I like the changing of the seasons. You're going to get fall foliage, you know, here in the next, like, a couple months. So that just kind of gets you excited. Especially, like, as hockey guys, like, that always was a symbol to me of, like, seasons coming. Like, hockey's coming.

It's go-time. So, especially up there in Minnesota, it'll happen pretty early, but you'll get that, you know, like, okay, starts to, like, get a little chillier. It's football season. Like, let's go. get a little brown. Yep. What's the best part of your golf game? Like what are you grinding on right now?

What's your worst part actually? That's what I want to hear. My worst part, you know, I just probably say just being more consistent with chips, you know, having, choosing the right, you know, chip pitch shot around the green. You know, I believe my short game is pretty good, but it's just, you know, just choosing the right shot on certain greens is definitely something that, you know, I want to continue getting better at. But, you know, I can get off the tee very well.

I'm not very long. You know, I'm not like a 315-yard guy. I'll be lying. I'm about 280, 285, in the fairway almost every time. And, you know, my iron play is pretty well. It's just, you know, just choosing the right chip of pitch shot around the greens. Right, because when you're a three, you're right there. There's like one or two things that, like you clean that up, man, scratch.

No doubt about it. So are you grinding? at that right now? Are you always hitting like ranges when you have some time off? Or you just play? You know what? I hate range. I hate going to. I am, like, they call me Trump slamming because I literally like to go to the T-box. I've been playing golf for, you know, 10 years. I kind of know my game. I just need the first couple of holes to get warmed up. But for the most part, I hate seeing the ball going in range because everything looks straight. And if I do go practice, It would probably be like late in the afternoon where I can play about four or five holes,

just hitting balls because that's where you can actually see results. Range balls are not the same. You know, you're not going to get the same rollout. So I'd rather see real results on the course versus going to the range and just being a ballbeater. Good call. I think that's good advice. It is good advice. I really like that.

Yeah, might have to steal that. I got a random question. You ever, you know, you're at training camp. You ever grab the trainers and be like, Hey, what can I like, what can I really improve for my golf swing? Like, what do you ever like trying to use those resources? All the time. There'll be times like during the season, you know, the, you know, the ball that have the stick on it to, uh, for special teams to, you know, to get the guy to hear it up.

I'll grab that sometime to just start swinging it. Just try to keep that motion right, baby. That's so good That's just so good I love it Have you come in with this like Does the team know you as this good golfer yet Are you like number one on the team?

Is there anyone that's better than you? Have you had any matches? Yeah we had a couple of matches Me and Harry we play all the time But Adam to me is probably the best on the team So far Adams is a little bit more He's a little bit more consistent than me You know far as with those chip shots

because Adam is about a one, if I'm not mistaken, he's close to being a stretch for sure. So I'll probably say I'm a healthy number two, though, for sure. It's got to feel good. That's damn good. Yeah, you come in with some gravitas with that. Oh, yeah. It's just such a freaking annoying, hard game that, like, when you have that confidence, especially going into a group of guys that you don't know how their games are,

like, it's good to, like, set that precedent that, oh, yeah, I have some game. Because then you have the confidence on the T. Like when we show up with guys and we know they're better than us, like for me at least, I crumble. I'm just like I can, I'll never show you my potential. I can't do that. I'll never show you my potential. So yeah, no, it's good that you're going in there with some confidence. Oh yeah. You got to got to have confidence.

That's the only way you're going to, that's the only way you look forward to a good outcome. Got to be confident. We were at that place, Olympic Hills the other day. And I was 85 yards out in the fairway playing with four NHL players. I was 85 yards out on. just the middle of the fairway and I double hit the ball. If they changed the rule, I know. I came in so steep and one of the players says that I hit the ball twice with the club and one with the divot.

The divot actually pushed, like just smacked the ball sideways. I love that. That was a divvary. I probably was a beaver tail. Patrick's talking about confidence of what you need. And Frankie just rushes over it to talk about the mistake. He's saying he has no confidence. Yeah, just doesn't want to address the confidence.

And it started probably with just, it was all in your head, but like, oh, man, I got an 85-yard shot. You're probably like, oh, I don't have a club for this. You know, I already know when you have no confidence over the ball, it's going to build the bad. That's our guy. That's our guy. You just explain my brain, man.

All right, Pat. I appreciate it. You're very impressive. I think all the work that you do. do kind of going through that and explaining some of that was really cool to hear i think you're very very easy to root for pop for you to be in a new city man and uh yeah we'll be rooting for you out there we got to try to play some golf sometime but uh it might be tough in your winter man you got get it before november if you get it before november we can definitely get it in

that's the deadline good luck this year i can't believe it's already football season is coming up that's pretty crazy but yeah we appreciate the time and uh and good luck we'll be rooting for you my thanks guys you guys take care Thank you, too. See you.
