It's myself, Slim Daddy Trent, and Frankie Burelli, the pizza maker, the shank star. Hello, Frankie Butternives. Frankie Fresh Off a plane from Vegas, who can barely actually put his words together and move his lips at the same time. Like, I don't know how I'm even functioning right now. Weeks in Vegas. We went Monday.

Tuesday and it feels like I've been gone for I don't know two and a half months I can see it in your eyes there's some pain behind these eyes yeah I mean I just feels like you never even left it's crazy how fast I was but it also feels like it feels like you're in some like space time continuum where like you're just floating around and like spaces around you what's that Matthew McConae movie where in every 10 minutes is yeah interstellar oh every 10 minutes is like 25 years on earth's that's what it feels like to be they mess up their timing and that one guy that was part of their crew, they come back and he's like 85. Yeah.

Yeah. That's a bummer for that guy. That's like Vegas. And they're like, we're so sorry. They literally spent like an extra 30 seconds there. Yep. And that guy, I mean, he was up there waiting the whole time for like 60 years. You imagine that?

But yeah. No, I can't. That fucking space shuttle. I felt so sad for that guy in that movie. I forgot about that part of the movie. And they really don't give the guy much love. They're just like, yeah, sorry, man. They're fucked up.

Yeah. We were down for 10 minutes. He's just on. He's on the ship. forever just years going by i'd actually forgot about that part he's like these fuck just finish the mission man mcconahe he still looks like mcconahe and he's like i'm 80 yeah damn it's tough it's tough break uh anyways we are back spring golf presenting sponsor for the entire year big thank you to spring golf they support everything that we do they're all in on us uh as they

Like I mentioned, second show of the week. It's Arnold Palmer Invitational. Hill. We were talking on the radio actually earlier about the most universally liked people,

and I mentioned Arnold Palmer. I think that's a good one. Just in the world we're talking about. In the world. In the world. Universally liked people

in the world. Arnold Palmer is a good one. You're not going to find many naysayers of Arnold. No, and you got right, you've got to be a certain echel lot of famous to be kind of considered

in the conversation. Samuel L. Jackson was kind of brought in. Tom Hanks was brought in. I put Will Smith up there. Apparently a lot of people think Will Smith's fake. and he's got some weird family

Who are these people? Who are these people? Point them out. Well, the family kind of turns people off. It's got a weird family, right? The kids are annoying. Jaden and Willow are strange. The Scientology thing isn't great. He definitely has his haters. You're right. I love Will Smith.

That's okay. That's basically what I mean. And again, a lot of the things we were describing are not like what we have a problem with. It's that just generally, if we're talking universally liked, I don't think Will Smith is a universally liked. I think Tom Hanks could be the one. He might be the one. Like, if you ever heard somebody say anything negative about Tom Hanks? That's, like, he's bulletproof, man.

He's an unbelievably good actor. He's in all the best movies of all time. He is literally stars in all the best movies of all time. It's like Forrest Gump. It's him. He's never in the media for a good story. Negative reason. The only time I see him in the media, and it's Donna for a negative reason,

is when a new late night show will start up, he's always the first guest. I feel like he's been the first guest. That's a pretty good sign. Right? Like, that means you, obviously, you're trying to get huge ratings. You get Tom Hanks in the check. What do you think is in Tom Hanks's closet? There's got to be something, right?

You talking skeletons? No, like, what is he? He's got to rattle off some shirts. I mean, too. I knew you were, you were thinking shirts. I was thinking shirts. You guys were thinking of outfits. Sorry, I phrased that.

What is in his closet? I don't know, a couple loafers. I was thinking, like, Tom, right? What is he a sneaky alcoholic? Is he a sexaholic? Is he nothing? No, it's got to be something. I think he's perfect.

Maybe he, like, nobody's perfect. Maybe he spends too much time away from his family. because he's working too hard on his craft. Maybe that's his negative. Like the wife gets upset at him because he's working too hard. I haven't seen you in years. It's like I'm changing the world. He's making too many of the greatest movies of all times. Yeah.

That's his biggest flaw. And he's been famous for so long. It seems crazy, but we would know by now. We would know something. Somebody would have something. You would think so. Unless it could be one of those protected people. You do get to a point maybe where people are so in love with you that the people who try to come out against you are too scared to do that.

Oh, yeah. Or they just get suppressed. Yeah. Now, again, we're not speculating. Arnold Palmer, good answer, though. Arnold Palmer, good answer. Tom Hanks, probably the best answer. Tom Hanks is a man, and I've never heard a negative word about it.

But anyways, we talked about that earlier. Arnold Palmer. Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill. This is a tournament that's most famously known for Tiger Woods just winning it every year. He's won it, I think, eight times total. He's had three or four or five times on the 18th green where he's made kind of that same putt-ish. We're at curls, big left-to-rider, huge fist pop from Tiger, throwing his hat, hugging Stevie Williams, fist pumping right in Phil's face,

hugging the king afterwards, all that. That's what this place is known for. Tiger withdrew, that was the big news. Our whole podcast, first 20 or 30 minutes, the last show, which we did recorded on Monday was mere minutes, mere moments, mere seconds, really, after Tiger announced that he was withdrawing. Everybody was speculating, us, including, you know, we weren't even speculating, I wouldn't say.

We just were listing a series of facts. And then just sitting here and talking about, We present the facts and people can take them however they want. There's fact tellers. Fact tellers. Frankie Fax. I like that Frankie's just in a weird place right now. You just took a plane back from Vegas in the middle of the day.

It's so bad, man. The flight, I woke up at 7 a.m. for my flight because of that three-hour time difference. And the day is over. I woke up at 7 a.m. and I landed at 519. from Vegas. What a day? What kind of freaks were on your plane? Oh, I had this guy sitting next to me.

A guy was like 280 pounds. I don't know. He looked like he was a mid-American guy. Why does he do that every? I don't know. Why'd you just look? He looked at St. That was fucking looked like Trent.

All right? He looked just like Trent. He was Trent's goddamn doppelganger. He had the four. He had the fucking glasses. He had the same face, the facial. He had the facial hair. He had a sweats.

on. He had like a weird pants on. You're giving these, like, you first tried to give subtle looks at Trent after I said what kind of freaks are on his plate? No, he looked like Trent. I'd have to go back and look at it, but he might have winked at me this time before he started saying that I was a guy that was awful. This guy had a chocolate phone. You remember those things? I do. Yeah. What? It was like, it was either a Nokia, a little flip-up or a, remember the chocolate? Oh, yeah, I know the Nokia. You remember the chocolate, though? Is it similar? It was a big deal. I remember the chocolate. Chalka had a little, a little spinning little dial-pand.

I do remember those. And that's what you had. I know what you're talking about. I mean, that's like 15 years out of day. He was looking at this little, this little, not even a flip phone. What do you call those phones? Sliders? Slide phone.

He had a little slide phone. And then he was looking at numbers on a little piece of paper. He kept putting it inside his sweatshirt. So I was on edge for about five hours. Holy shit. Yeah, with the anxiety of coming back from Vegas. And, I mean, going to clubs on a Monday night is something I never thought I'd ever do. And I don't know how I can handle it anymore.

What a world. Like, it's a Monday night. You just see this confetti. There was a point where I was just staring straight inside the club. There was confetti coming down from the ground, and there's just so much, there's so much music. You can't do confetti on a Monday. There's so much music going on. I was just staring straight into all these, like, disco lights, and I'm like, it's fucking Monday.

Unless you're a national championship team cutting down the nets, you can have confetti on a Monday night. Place is packed, though. That's crazy. Vegas is insane. Holiday. You can do confetti on a Monday night or a holiday. True. I suppose.

Definitely. What kind of holiday? New Year's Eve. Ever heard of it? Yeah, yeah. That's a good one. Thank you. Also.

I was expecting you not to have an answer and then you had one. Fourth of July? Yeah, Fourth of July is not a confetti night. Yeah, because usually you're outside, but if you, it was like a ballroom type thing and there was some confetti. Nobody would be like, oh, it's a Monday night. It's fucking Fourth of July. True. No, fourth July is not a confetti.

This was just a, this was a Monday in March. Early March Monday. Anyways, Tiger Woods, that's what we're talking about. A lot of tangents here early in the show. Yeah. Tiger Woods he obviously withdrew on Monday there's been all kinds of different speculation back and forth how serious is it we have seen I mean people have been DM in me

people have been email me people have been text to me you know we got some connections down in the south Florida area but problem is that the different sources and connections say completely conflicting things I've heard rumors from Tiger Woods back doctor was spotted in Met Tiger at a place where he always goes where he thinks no one could see him being, you know, having meetings with people all the way to, we got Notably Gay who came out and said the following, he felt much better this morning.

Treatment two to three times a day. He has everything he needs at the house high tech, which is just a funny way. In talking with him last couple of days, it's sort of developed at the genesis. You just start to develop inflammation. He was having trouble rotating, battling through it a little bit in Mexico, just didn't feel good enough to play this week. he went on to say Tiger isn't playing this week in order to not jeopardize next week,

emphasizing that's a big event he didn't want to miss, says he may consider the valspar, but it's all up in the air at this point. Finally, Notice says he stayed at Tiger Woods' house last week while Noda was working the Honda Classic, said it was tough to see Tiger sort of in a little bit of a recovery mode again, but is confident he will be good to go for next week and the rest of the season. Okay.

Now that, a couple things here. here. One, when I read that, my face was beaming. Yeah. Then immediately afterwards, I just laughed at myself because Noda Bagee. Okay. Yep. Thank you. What? What's about to happen? Well, I mean, they're... Notta Baga and Tiger Woods are based on brothers. Oh, no, no, don't take notice. Notice spitting straight facts here.

There is no bias. I'm willing to sit here. Noda Bage has never been biased from it. I'm willing to sit here and pour a big old glass of Kool-Aid and drink it with you. I'm in. Let's do it. but I do, I knew where Riggs was going with that and that's just, that's just reality. I mean, the year that, like, Tiger had his fucking spinal fusion surgery, I think the week before the Masters,

Noda Biget was like, Tiger looks great. He's swinging, I've never seen him swing this well. And listen. Really good chance he wins a master. Remember what we had Nona Bigei on and he's like, I looked at him and he's going to win? I was like, I'm not even going to watch this fucking church. That was the day after he won the Tour championship. But he said, I said, man, like, you think nerve, how are you?

Are you super nervous? He goes, I saw Tiger this morning right before he teed off. I saw a look in his eyes. I was not nervous. I was just like, oh, my fucking God. Oh, my God. Now, look, I love Notta be gay. He's great.

We're kindred spirits. We're big tiger guys. We're huge tiger guys. Noda couldn't be a bigger tiger guy. He is, he is Numero uno. He literally has a job because he's Tiger's friend. Do you think he's the most biased reporter in all of sports? I mean, he, yeah, you know.

He has like a, he has a mainstream job. right mainstream reporting he's supposed to just report on you know golf in general and he's literally only there because he's tiger woods his best friend the only other one that came to mind was uh brian winhorst yeah i thought about that too that fucking i i oh man i don't like that guy i think he got a couple years ago maybe it's longer now i think he got kicked out of lebron's circle so it's different now right i'd say i'd say noda is now number one he's got to be and like tiger any tiger updates become sports news not just golf right right sports news so you're right i mean golf channel look noah baguague seems like the nicest guy in the

world when you when you stack that guy up in terms of golf uh commentating golf uh analysis against a lot of the others in the game it's very clear nota baguette is there because he stays at tiger wood's fucking house when he covers the hot 100% and that's the way the world should work he 100% deserve that job tiger woods like i said is the biggest needle mover in sports yeah yeah in any sport of the planet. We need a guy like Noda because Tiger is that type of newsmaker. You hire that biased motherfucker and you put him right there on the set every night. And then whatever he says about Tiger, it's going to eat up.

I'm going to talk about it in the podcast. It's great. But let's not. I mean, that's just what he is. And look, like Tiger has a guy who's in the media that just only talks about pro Tiger stuff. And just like LeBron had like Winners that would go to war for just pro LeBron stuff. When you're at the top of your game and you're the biggest name in your sport, you deserve. That's almost like, it's a little like,

nod of the cap to them like yeah we'll give you this it's one of the perks yeah that's a perk it's a perk of being the best you get one guy in media that's always going to say that your back is perfect and you're going to win every single tournament and i mean when i'm reading when i'm reading these statements and i'm seeing them say these statements on golf channel all of everything that comes out of his mouth has been vetted by tiger no it isn't just like oh i'm going to decide to reveal all this personal information about tiger and his back and neck when i stayed at tiger's No, no. He's saying like, okay, Tiger, what precisely can I reveal to the media? Or Tiger texts him and says, release this.

Right. He is that bias, and I love it. I mean, I'm all in on that. I can't get over this line either. Treatment two, three times a day. He has everything needs at the house. High tech. High tech. High tech. The stuff that's going on is high tech. In case you to know, it's not low tech, it's high. If you were concerned that Tiger maybe didn't have the right technology to get back to his best and be in the best shape he could be, Noda has you covered because Tiger has high tech at his house. He has everything he needs at his house, high tech. Also, he has everything he needs at his house?

Is that like a little cover for, you know, he doesn't ever leave that house? He doesn't go anywhere to get treatment. He doesn't do any of those sort of things if people are talking about that in the media. He doesn't leave his house. He doesn't have to go anywhere. You're seeing a little bit into this. I like that a lot, Trent Daddy. he has everything everything everything he needs at the house

treatment two to three times a day there's a lot of fucking treatment treatment treatment high tech at the house everything he's got everything he needs everything he needs everything there's not one thing what do you think tiger has at his house that most people need to leave their house for I don't know if I feel comfortable what's what's something that you like need to what's something that you need to

leave the house for that Tiger has in his house since he has everything barber that's true that's fucking true although like there's are people in the world that get like barbers to come to their house

so okay it's a little more I'm trying to think of something you hated that answer I mean treatment treatment treatment

to him you don't have treatment at your house no no like think about if you're in a position Frankie Burrelli

pizza maker where you're like man I really need some treatment you can't just get that at your house That's something that just doesn't happen to your house. It doesn't really happen anywhere.

It happens at a treatment center. Yeah, that's where it fucking happens. And then unless you're tired of wits. Roy McElroy said, I hope he's okay. Tuesday at Bay Hill. I saw him in Mexico two weeks ago getting treatment. Jesus. Before and after he played and he did have some tape on, sort of on his upper back.

So he was dealing with it back then as well. So, again, this appears to be something that people have noticed. It's been a little bit of a lingering issue. I believe this is best case scenario. The information that's come in again, you've got to take it a little bit with a grain of salt. It came from Noda, aka directly from Tiger's phone.

And so, whenever we see this, we should almost name it, like, noted. Yeah, I know what you're going for. Noted. All right, he said that, noted.

Noted. Noted. Yeah. It's like a Noda note. Yeah. Everybody knows what that means. Like, instead of saying,

like, take it with a grain of salt, it's going to be like his, word like every time we see noida begays uh you know statement on tiger woods noted i was trying to come up with like something better tiger but woods or tiger you know i couldn't do it i was working really hard over here i you notice i was quiet for like 30 seconds i didn't know i was working on something i noticed but nice oh and going back to the last episode for one second when we were talking about v j sing and you guys were like think of a pun i just couldn't i how did i not do v j swing oh oh yeah that would If you would have hit me with that?

I know. If you would have, if I said come up with a fucking Twitter name right now. I know. You said VJ. Swing, I would have had a goddamn heart attack. And I also want to say. I would have changed the show. VJ. Swing is the best fucking Twitter name you could possibly come up. I know. Give me a pound, baby.

No, I can't take care of that. People were tweeting that out of us. Yeah. I didn't want to do that. I saw it on Twitter too. I didn't want to even. I missed that. Now, let me ask you this.

How quickly. So those people that tweet those at us, how quickly from the moment they heard us say it until it arrives in their brain v j swing do you think they come up with that i i am giddy just listening to that thing v j swing if he doesn't change his twitter name of v j swing vj swing when i say it i feel like i'm just like swinging on a swing set it's pure j swing oh it's the purest like seven iron i've ever hit i didn't even take a like a blade of grass just perfect ball like i just like it's nothing stopped my swing imagine vj swing like how positive his twitter interactions would be just like every time he tweeted that'd say great shot oh yeah

From at VJ Swing. It's pure. There's no pure pun than that. I think people, well, when you're broadcasting it to, you know, the masses with all these brains, I mean, it's just three brains in here. Half the time, mine's off. So, I mean, I think when you put it out to the world, I think someone just, it just clicks. Yeah, I agree with that. He's listening.

He's just like VJ Swing immediately. Yeah, I think you're right. I think, because it was a bunch of people. It was a handful of people. Not having more time does not help you make that pun. Like you can't search anything I would argue that it's worse You gotta like yeah

Once you start to think it's over Like it's gotta just hit you When I think of puns it happens right away And if I think about it too long They only get worse If you think about it for too long Yeah I'm saying noted and shit

I could just see some of our listeners Just sitting there at work for like 45 minutes straight Like someone probably has a funny pun About Noget or no TJ sing no Tj Singh no Somebody out there right now listening Has a good note of a gay pun

100% tweeted ass Yeah you're right Now a person out there see. Do you have that already? Or this person's like, oh, I got it. Are you going to come up with that in the near future and then tweet it asked? That's the real question. That's kind of what I'm asking of you people right now.

Do you already have it? Because that was like maybe four minutes ago. I think they have to already have it. Yes, you have to. Yeah. It's either they're not going to get it. Noda Begay. What is it going to be?

I'm so frustrated. Nota baguade pun when dealing with Tiger Woods. It's got to be. I mean, I don't know how you're going to beat. Noted. Note a big gay pun as like the obvious, most compromised, biased golf quote-unquote reporter in the world. Yeah. What is that pun?

Tweet it us. We need it. Other than your absolute best friends, who could you ask to bring you red wine at 4 p.m., sushi at 9 p.m., and a breakfast burrito at 8 a.m. Postmates. Postmates is your personal food delivery, grocery delivery, whatever you can think of delivery service all year round. don't even really need to read about this one because I use postmates every day. I think everyone in this room does. Probably twice, maybe twice a day.

It's a fantastic service. I could not live in the city without it. You know, what's crazy is I was actually just in Vegas and I was telling someone about how much I postmates. Like, oh, how's living in this city? I'm like, it's unbelievable. I don't have to leave my bed to get stuff. They're like, what? They were from another part of the country.

And I guess like, it's just not as prevalent. But I'm like, you guys don't realize what's going on over here in like the big metropolitan cities. Like I literally Postmated a video game like headset when like mine broke It's like mine broke and usually when like you're at your house like you just like oh fuck I'm not gonna play video games And I literally had one 25 minutes later just a brand new one.

Anyways, that's the update on Tiger Woods. So by all these accounts from noted Begay and Rory and all these other things, Tiger should be in the field next week at the Players' Championship. I do have, I believe he's withdrawn from that tournament multiple times.

So I do have bad images. brain of him withdrawing for the players championship so hopefully just gets through next week and it's healthy and all that but anyways uh it seems good seems uh like best case scenario from where we were down in the dumps with the uh with the withdrawal news jesus thomas and the united states golf association our close personal friend the usGA you know i tweeted out this video about my cool rant remember my cool rant you guys gave me a good rant wow it was an awesome rant clean tweet out the video of the rant and then like two seconds later you You know, we put the podcast out, like two seconds later,

my good close personal friend of the USDA just backtracks. Yeah, this was a tough. I saw this. This was tough. So if you remember correctly, JT, criticizing, criticizing, criticizing, criticizing, criticizing the USDA, hammering them over the rules, hammered them over everything. USJ finally just responded and said, Justin, we need to talk. You've canceled every meeting we've planned with you, but we are reaching out again.

We were at the first five events and tournaments last year, and your tour has had a seat at the table for seven years. We'd love nothing more than to give you a seat. Call us. Well, JT came out and basically said I was hurt because that's just not truthful. It was inaccurate. I didn't cancel any meetings. The USGA on, I believe, Tuesday, then tweeted, after further and more direct conversation with Justin Thomas,

we realized he did not avoid a discussion with the USDA nor cancel any meetings. We value his in all players' opinions and are committed to a productive dialogue as the golf world adjust to modernized rules. That's a Twitter account that's never been through the fire. We've all been through the fire. You tweet something, people get mad at it. Here we're just like whatever. You double down on it.

USGA, they didn't feel comfortable going through the fire and they backtrack. A hundred percent. Thank you very much. It is not. Nobody, nobody. Fucking tweets that, that you canceled meetings and have basically been dodging us yet still calling us out for not having communication with you, unless that comes from some basis of truth.

That was the most truthful statement ever made because the USGA, and someone in the position of the USGA Twitter account is not like going after one of their star players and golfers in the entire world. You're not just going to pin that on him with just no fact. Thank you. And the thing that I see that jumps off the page when I'm reading this is that Justin Thomas threw a fucking bitch fit at someone. And he scared the shit out of the USGAPR.

And he like, I just picture him like crying, like a little baby like crying. That's the first thing I think. Like, how could you do this to me? How could you ruin my reputation? You're supposed to be a PR of the USGA. I win all this money for you guys. And I'm like a great golfer for everything. How could you fucking do this for me?

And they're like, oh my God, we're sorry, we're sorry. Them saying thanks for connecting with us offline, that's after he... We realize he did not avoid a discussion. What are you talking about? This is just like came into your mind. Oh, yeah. He didn't cancel meetings. You're right.

Wait a second. No, he didn't cancel the meeting. That's not, that's just things don't work that way. Not the Brent. Check notes. Oh, no, no. I know I always bring the podcast somehow back to the Islanders, and I hate to do that. But it's like when John Tavares, it's like when John Tavares said he realized the childhood dream the day he needed to make the decision.

Oh, yeah, I grew up in Toronto. Oh, yeah, I had these pajamas when I was younger. Now I want to be a maple. Oh, and in the next two hours I have to make my decision. Wow, what amazing timing. Yeah. Unbelievable. Like, you're going to tell me right now, like this, you get a text message from Justin Thomas, absolutely scathing message.

And you're like, oh, yeah, he didn't. No, we didn't say anything. It's fucking tweeted. Look, they back, yeah. We had Justin Thomas on the show, and we went through a lot of stuff, and he had a lot of great stories, and he came off as a pretty cool guy, and we'd become friendly with Justin Thomas and all of that. However, there is no fucking doubt just from this, just from these facts that we're looking at right here,

that what you guys are describing is exactly what happened. The USGA clap back. They said, you've been canceling meetings. You're calling us out for not having. any communication with the players. You're calling us out left and right. Meanwhile, you canceled a bunch of meetings. Like, how the hell are we supposed to have communication when you cancel meetings?

JT or his agent or whoever threw a fucking fit. They kind of, I'm sure they reached out to USDA and said, like, are you kidding me? This makes Justin look horrible, blah, blah, blah. Maybe there's a little bit of, like, gray area there and, like, technically, like, cancer meetings, whatever. But clearly, the USDA wasn't just, they don't fucking tweet that out out of the clouds with no basis and truth. They didn't say you canceled one meeting and then both sides can be like, this is what happened. what happened. They said you've canceled every meeting, which means there's probably been

five to ten meetings that have been canceled. There just have to be. There just have to be. So, the only mistake here that I'm really seeing is that I just wish the USDA wouldn't have backtrack, because it's very clear, like you guys said, I bet there's no fucking doubt. Justin Thomas was not happy, but he went at them and said something along

the lines of like, you know, you can't do this, you can't like, come back back, you're going to ruin my reputation, whatever. Do you know who you just upset. I bet you he dropped the line. He might have dropped it. Do you know who I am? Oh, like, you know it. And when we interviewed Justin Thomas and he like, he came on, he was great and we definitely warmed

up to him and to the point where like, we respected the shit of him for coming on the show after all the hate that I for sure gave him. But I also said to him, I'm like, there are still going to be things that you do that are always going to just irk me. It's just the way that you are, the way that he is. And like, he comes off sometimes. It's like the wrong

type of guy. Like, you know, it's not very likable. And these are one of scenarios where you know it may not jump out at you you may not have like a quote from what he said but you know Justin Thomas like the way he acts you know he was in a room like pacing on the phone with someone or he was making his agent to it

just absolutely shredding some PR person from the USGA just destroying their life 100% oh just making them cry which again it's like if USGA if you're out there listening I know you are we're all good friends here if you're going to go after if you're going to

clap back if you're going to embrace. You mic dropped him and he made you pick up the mic and like And stick it in a fucking mic holder. You look out of the fucking room. When you're not going to. They mic dropped out of them. It was one of the greatest things we've seen from a, you know, the sport. Like the USGA actually said this to one of their players.

And he literally picked up the mic himself and just stuck it back in their mouth. No one's ever done that before. I've never seen that movie. They're literally like, oh yeah, Josh. You didn't cancel any meetings. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Please don't do that again. He's okay. He's the best. After further and more direct

conversations with Justin Thomas, we realize he did not avoid it. We mean realize he did not avoid. We realized he did not? Would you look at the instant replay and he like didn't avoid after further review? What is happening here? This isn't fucking What are you sending it to Toronto?

They did. No, they sent the replay to the war room at Toronto after fucking Gary Batman. After Gary Batman and fucking, Brendan Shanahan and their whole team looked at the review from 37 different angles. It turns out he actually,

the movement he made was not to avoid the meeting. Well, they watch him walking off the 18th hole on tournaments and you see the USDA camp like standing somewhere on the green and they're like, wait, watch, watch, watch, watch. Oh, no, he doesn't make eye contact. Oh, he didn't know.

No, no. He didn't know. No, that was, that was, completely innocent. On the further review, he did not. That was an innocent and ignorant dismissal of a meeting that was not intentional.

That's literally what the USAJ did with that tweet. What is that tweet, USGA? We know what happened. We know what happened. And again, you're right. You're right, Frankie. It goes back. There are many things about Joseph Thomas that we love, that we like a lot.

A lot of it was revealed on the show, and it was great. And there's some things that are always going to piss us off about them. And this kind of plays perfectly into that. It was very obvious that he was not happy with the clapback that he got. And here we are with the USGA with one of the weirder tweets I've ever seen. A lot of people like tagging us, tagging me, being like, like, oh, what do you think about this? Like, open your eyes, you fucking idiots?

You think this is a genuine tweet from the USGA? No. Fucking review situation. Get out of here. So that's the latest on the USGA. Justin Thomas thing. All right. What's up, Doc?

Oh. Frankie, were you here for the What's Up Doc part? No, he wasn't last time. Well, he was here when we made the name. And then we did another. When you left the other day, we did a What's Up Doc. So I thought I came up with the name What's Up Doc. Frankie.

You did. The listeners love What's Up Doc. They love the name What's Up Doc. Love it. Holy shit. So bad it's good. So bad, it's good. It's the worst name I've ever come up with.

But then when you left the other day to go to Vegas, we did a what's up doc. And yeah. So we did that show. You guys did that show a month ago? Yeah, basically. Dr. Ben wrote in. He gave us all the scientific medical advice on the temple. Oh, just give it to me like I'm fine.

So listen up, Frankie. I'm going to try to explain to you like you're five. First of all, no, it's not a death button. That was the immediate answer. However, it's the thinnest part of the skull. Okay. And there's a really important artery right behind it. So what can happen is if you get hit there and it fractures, a shard from that fracture will oftentimes slice into the artery and lead to internal bleeding inside the head and brain, which is horrible for you.

Good night. So that's kind of what happens there. All right. So it's not like a button or a piece of, it's not anything in your, it's not like a part of your brain that's exposed. that like when you touch it, it just turns off. Correct. So it's actually, okay. So it's just a two-part.

It's actually a two-part process. Okay. Where you break the skull. You could get hit really hard in the temple and it not break. And you'll be fine. It can be fine. Okay. But it's the worst spot.

What about the heart underneath the water in the hot tub? A couple things on that. So you know when you drink and you get like a red hue going? Okay. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. You become flush. Got it.

Yeah. Hugh is like something when we're editing videos. It's like the, It's like a saturation color. Well, think about that saturation on your skin. You know, you've seen this with some people, like not everybody has it, but some people, the drunker they get, like their skin gets. Oh, yeah. I'm half-irish.

It happens to me. Right. So that is a function of, like, that happens, like, whatever, when you drink, like the alcohol, the way that your oxygen and blood alcohol levels and all that, that affects. Now, also, when you get really hot, your, like, your blood, I believe, certain aspects of your blood go towards you. skin to work with cooling. And those two things combine, that blood leaves like your head and it can lead to you passing out. Got it. So when you mix drinking and hot tubbing, that becomes, I guess, like, of a higher likelihood that you pass out, you'll have, like, no real warnings.

You'll get, like, the combination of the reddish hue, the skin, the blood going towards your skin and away from your brain. And you'll pass out. And if nobody's around, you pass out in a hot tub, you drop. Wow. So it's a blood, like, it's a blood location problem. It's dispersion of where it goes. He said he hated a burst Dr. Steve, who's my father's bubble, but he doesn't really think that, like, the heart being below or above really matters very much.

But there is something to say about being in a big time. It's dangerous. It's dangerous. All right. It's 100% dangerous. So don't go into a hot tub while drinking alone. Correct. Or just don't drink in a hot tub.

That's the list. Which we also said, like, if you're alone drinking in a hot tub, that's kind of weird. You got other issues. You got other issues. You do have issues. That's a dark place, man. We didn't get into that area. You guys just painted a dark picture.

We just put it there being like, if that's you, there's hotlines out there, whatever. Picture a guy just, like, staring out into, like, his fence. It's, like, not even that nice of a view. He, like, he's got, like, a shitty fucking hot tub in his backyard, and he's got, like, a real old fence around it. And he's just sitting there with one arm out, and he's just drinking an ice cold beer just staring at that fence. Yeah, he's drinking, like, a warm PBR.

And he's like, man. Listen to the foreplay and we just ruined his night. True. The best part of his night's foreplay and we just shit on his whole life. Because every time you think of a hot tub, you think of these like extravagant areas like overlooking a mountain or like you're in Aspen and you're in a hot tub with like all these women. It's like, in reality, it's a guy like in his backyard that like has really dirty water in his thing. And like he spent way too much of his family's money on a hot tub because he wants the one. He just goes in it by himself and drinks.

So that was dark Real dark So we got all that stuff The wife goes Go in your fucking hot tub And he just like Climes in there with his like Disgusting body

You know what? You know what I will? Yeah I will go to my hot tub I'll go in there right now Let me go get a case of beer first And I'll go in there Don't get too drunk

And don't pass out in the hot tub And you'll be okay So that's what we learned from Dr. Ben During what's up doc last week Or last show Frankie Now We get a couple Another thing that we learned

and Dr. John, he follows up on this, we learned that both Trent and Jake, they get hurt sleeping. Classic Trent. Which I have admitted on this podcast before. You get hurt sleeping. They said the most dangerous thing he does is sleep. I explained it to Riggs last week where when I'm conscious,

I'm bulletproof. But when I fall asleep, the enemy comes out, and I have no defense against that. I can't fight an enemy when I'm sleeping. It comes in the night when I'm unconscious. and beats the shit out of me. Jake has a certain, a similar demon.

What the hell happens to you? I just hurt my neck and my shoulders. Did it last night, actually. And they don't know because they're asleep. She put a camera on. I should do that. You should get a GoPro. There's some paranormal activity going where you're just like getting lifted out of bed

and just getting like tossed up and down. Your fucking body just like rises from the bed. And you're just getting slammed like the Hulk and the Avengers. I'm a pass out. I'm a pass out. Imagine Trent. It's like, oh, well, that's the issue. You know the guy who comes in and spurts water on your face in that hypothetical?

He also lists you up by your feet and just slams you on the ground a couple times. And you wake up, you wake up fucking in so much pain. What the fuck happened to me last night? It's like, well, we got to the bottom of it, I get bodies like every night. I thought it was a sleep condition, maybe a pill. No, this fucking guy. I'm buying new pillows. I can't figure it out.

This guy just walks in the other than this. Imagine this guy walks and he goes, oh, he's got new pillows again. What a fucking idiot. He just lists you up. On either side of the bed. Boom, boom, boom, boom. I actually like the paranormal activity version better where you just,

you just float and you just get slammed a couple times. You're floating like Jesus Christ in the air just, you're just, You float up. You just move to the right a little bit on top of the hardwood floor and you just get bounced a couple times. You just get put right back onto the bed. Oh, that's funny shit. It's like, oh, well, it's good to have some answers there.

Holy shit. So what is Dr. John say about that? Dr. John has a different theory. Very different. Oh, God. Very different theory. So based off his symptoms from sleeping on his side and having neck and shoulder pain, I would say Trent has some sort of upper nerve plexus injury.

A plexus is a branch of nerve. from your shoulder, and there is also one in your leg that distributes the motor and sensory nerves throughout. There are several others in your body, so it isn't out of the question to think that he may have added too much traction or compression to a nerve in his arm, which would shoot the pain back to his neck area, considering some of the nerves in the brachial arm, I don't know what's going on here. That sounds right.

I just sleep wrong. I just sleep on. It's doctor terms that basically the end is that I just sleep weird. I sleep wrong in it. I sleep in a way that makes it shoot pain to my neck. That's what it sounds like to me. It's a tough way to live. Yeah, I just got to figure out to sleep better.

Yeah, you do have to sleep better because you haven't figured it out. So that was from Dr. John. I didn't know what the guy was talking about halfway through. It's like lightheaded right now. Dude, there was a moment there where I legitimately thought I was going to pass out. You would have passed out based off the context of that conversation. I get to it. It's happened before where I laughed so hard that I almost go.

night night. I almost fall, I just pass right out. And we were close there. We were very close there. Such a funny visual. I mean, that's outrageous visual. And the best part is that you would find out by like plugging in the little GoPro into the camera into the laptop. It's like, let's see what I did last night.

It almost like was just a horror film. It's just like, holy shit. I'm expecting like, I rolled that one way weird. It's like, nope, I'm airborne and I'm being slammed against the wall. It's a fucking hard film. You're like, you're just like, holy shit. Holy shit, what's happening to me? You slam your laptop shut.

Oh, my God. Now, would you take a million dollars to cash to have that happen to you every night? No, not for this pain. All right. So I'm just going to try and sleep better and, you know, I'll report back. Maybe I'll get a GoPro, figure it out, and we'll go from there. All right.

Next one, Dr. Scott. Dr. Scott says, I don't know anyone who calls you Rigsie Weather, but I might start calling you Rigsie M.D. Okay, so you wrote this email. Okay. So you wrote this email. Why would I say no one's called you Rigsie Weather? Well, that's you alluding to like, well, I know no one calls you Rigsie Weather.

But I got another name for me. But here, you guys think I'm writing these emails to myself? This is right here. This is a good act. You acting like you didn't think we were going to say that? I mean, you wrote Dr. Scott and under it you wrote RigsyMD with a question of it. That's what he wrote in the fucking email. All right.

I'm trying to just read the list of you. You can't just put a word at the end of your name and just call that. That's not your nickname. Every word in the... Like every day you get up. You can have a nickname, right? You can, but you can't be Rigsie Weather. Rigsy M.D.

What's the next one? Did you hear about Riggs E.M.D. in the Bahamas? No. Or Rigsie Weather in the Bahamas? Yes, we told this thing. I thought maybe there was another... That was another email last week. There was another email last week, Frank.

All right, go ahead. It's cool. Can I read it now? Yeah, see what you said. No, you guys don't have any... You can see. You read it on the screen, too. Go ahead.

Riggs-M-D. I like the area location you pick for this one. It's not a – this isn't a choice. I'm a die-hard golfer in Portland, Oregon. It's a good one. You like the Portland area. Well, now if I read the rest of it, it's going to sound like I wrote it. Oh, wait.

Oh, wait. No, this is good. Your pod led me to a legendary trip to Scotland in St. Andrews? Or cheat. We all know that Rigsie Weather went to Scotland in San Angeles, which is notoriously bad weather, bad wind, bad rain, but when he went there, perfect. People call him Riggs and Weather over there, too. That's true.

That's actually true. All right, let's get through this one. Let's see. I'm a diehard golfer in Portland, Oregon. Your pod led me to a legendary trip to Scotland and St. Andrews for my 40th last year. Now, with two herniated discs, your pod with Chappie and his follow-up on Twitter has me talking to his doctor in Scottsdale. I also have a conversation coming up with Tiger's Doc in Texas. You helped me make my 40th in Scotland lights out.

Now you're helping me with my medical care. You guys rock. Come on. It's a fluff piece. The guy likes our show and we've helped out of his life. You help make my 40th in Scotland lights out? That's what he said. I think in the future, you have to make at least one of the Rigsies a negative.

You have to, like, Riggs'i NGV. He tried to do it. You guys don't read all these emails. People say we rock all the time. I sit here, I slave through all these emails. People say we rock all the time. People like our show. I don't deny that people say that we rock.

We're just saying that when all these nicknames start coming out of you being like this, like, Lord and Savior, when it comes to people's golf trips. The guy called me, Rick Z-E-M-D. All right. What do you want me to say? I don't know. It's just suspect. What do the kids call it? Suss.

That's Suss. That's Suss. Wait, they shorten suspect. I've heard people, I've heard people call it Suss. It feels like something Jake would know they say Suss. I get to Kardashian thing. Yes. Okay.

I can see it being a Kardashian thing. That's so Suss. That's Suss. Tristan is so Suss. Chloe, that's Suss. I didn't write this fucking email. All right, so here's Scott's question from the gallery. I kind of nailed that voice, by the way.

The Kardashian one? Yeah. I'm keeping up with Kardashians comes back in like two weeks. You're keeping up with Kardashians, yeah? Love it. Oh, yeah, you love Christiania, right? Love her. She's diabolical.

She's amazing. I mean, that show. It is a great show. It's very entertaining. Phenomenal. For anyone that, I mean, they are highly talented to what they do. They got the biggest stars in the planet cheating on each other, fighting with each other. It never doesn't

amaze me that you are interested in that. I love it. Like, you just don't seem like a kind of guy is interested in that. I'm interested in it as well. I'm celebrity illiterate. I don't know who anybody is. I don't know who any musicians are. I don't know how any actors are. Love the Kardashians. They're awesome. Pretty good. That's great. So here's Scott's question from the

gallery. Does back surgery at 40 give me a pass to get away with a motorized bag cart that follows me on the course like those 80-year-olds do in Florida? Or is that the ultimate do she move prior to needing an adult diaper? I think it gives you full permission. You know those little R2D2 things? You've seen those cards?

Yeah. Yeah, you should push like they literally go. I like they laugh out of funny and I always want one every time I see one. Awesome. So I think if you have a back surgery, I mean, I would say back surgery at 40, if you are 40 or 40 plus, yeah, it's probably a little low. But if you've had back surgery, no one's really going to rag on you for having it. I think everyone thinks it's pretty cool.

I mean, the diehard golfers are going to be like, whatever, I'd rather carry my bag. But all it's going to do is just create someone to be like, hey, that's like nice bag. And then all you have to say is like, yeah, back surgery. I had to get it. Yeah, I think you're good. It's fine. I think you're kosher in that. And then for the rest of the round,

everyone's, like, staring at how cool your bag is. Because, honestly, if someone thinks that it's, like, douchy or, you know, like, amateur to have, like, some, like, wacky bag. Don't, I mean, those people are lying to themselves. When I see that bag on the golf course, I see that thing just, like, motorizing its way. And, like, the guy's on the T-box, and he's just sending his bag up to the green on his own. Yeah.

Yeah. Awesome. Always. It always takes my breath away. Amazing. It's like he's playing with a ghost. Oh. It's so cool

And they always walk So much Like better than we do They're just like walking real slow With no care of the world Because their bags already At the fucking ball They're free

They can do whatever they want So Dr. Scott was definitely a real person I didn't write this email You can absolutely do that You can 100% do that You got full permission from us Go get them All right next up from the gallery

Forplay at barstoolsports.com That is the from the gallery email address Send us anything But definitely send us hypotheticals I've noticed We're getting more hypotheticals I like hypotheticals.

So, please send us more hypotheticals for Play at barstfulsports.com. I want to go through a couple of these. First one, we did this a couple years ago. We haven't talked about it in a while, but Adam asked a pretty common question. If you get an ace while playing by yourself, does it count, regardless of whether or not people believe you, can you say that you've hit a hole in one? It obviously counts. However, you just don't tell anybody.

Yeah, it's not worth the trouble because you're going to say, I got a hole in one, and they'll be like, oh, what was it like? What do you celebrate with your pals and all that? And then you have to reveal that I was by myself. And they are going to, no matter who it is, they're going to be skeptical. And you're going to have to beg and plead with them and tell them, no, I actually did it. So it's better if you do it.

It counts. Just keep it to yourself. Here's what I maybe even do. I might even just not tell anyone. And then, however, there's going to be situations that arise where someone ask you if you have one, right? Of course. You might be in a group. Everybody's talking about their whole-on-one-one story.

They're like, oh, do you have a whole-on-one? Do you have a whole-on-one? Do you have a whole one? And then in that case, I might even say, yes, but I got it. I was playing by myself, so I've never told anybody. You get out in front of it. That seems like an honor thing. That seems like you just revealed something to them that you've never told anyone.

Well, and your buddies would be like, wait, when the fuck was that? You'd be like, that was like a year and a half ago. And they'll be like, you just never told us. Then I think you've got a lot of credibility with your little hole in one story. I'd tell the whole world. Yeah. I really don't, I mean, they're going to be suspect. They're going to be sus, anyway.

You just said that because you want to say suss. No, I mean, it's just, I don't know. I actually think the move is if you're playing by yourself and you're actually not with, like if you're actually playing by yourself, not just with strangers, right? Is that what this is? Yeah, you're by yourself. Yeah. If you're even close and you think it went in from the T-box, you just start recording your whole walk-up.

A whole way out. Yeah, I mean, then it becomes like. Who's going to be like you went back to the fucking T-like? They know you're not a psychopath. Yeah, that'd be an elaborate move. It'd be an elaborate move. Like, and you don't, like, you've never done that. that before.

It's not like you just like one day woke up and like I'm just going to fake a whole one one today. So at least if you like film it, walk up there. It's the whole thing. It's one non-edited video. It's just like from T-box to green. You walk up. It's in the hole.

It's fucking awesome. I think one of our listeners now is going to do that and fake it? Yeah. I mean, then they're just a fake person. I mean, you can fake anything then. You could just, this person can listen to this and just walk up to their friends and make I got a

home one yesterday. Yeah. And those people are, you know, a menace to society. I kind of like the fact that you're lying about a hole in one. You're a line about a lot more. Yeah, and actually I want someone to go fake it because that's just a lot of work to be an asshole. You know, like run back and... Yeah, that's a weird kind of work.

Walk up 170 yards, put the ball in the hole and then go all the way back. What are you thinking? And the whole one doesn't really get you anything outside of the excitement of getting a hole in one with your friend. So, like, what do you... It's not like your friends have never heard of someone hit a hole in one before. You're not going to change their life. It's just something for your own personal. Remember that psychopath who claimed he has like $64?

four or whatever? Complete lie. You remember watching that thing? That guy is a lunatic. That guy's a minister to everything. He's a menace to the universe. And what did we ever come up with? Well, it's deeper than just society.

The, what is it called? The, like, the cosmic web or something like that. He's a menace to that, too, Frank. That's deep. No, he's bad. What did we ever come up with where we, like, how many, oh, when we were thinking about how many, like, whole and once Tiger had in his life.

And we ended up, like, finding some sort of, like, Google answer somehow. they knew it was like, what was like 21 in his entire life. Yeah, do you remember when he said he got his first one in like 20 years since like late 90s or something? That turned out to be like not true. Oh, really? Yeah, somebody said he legit is like on film getting a whole one during the par three contest at Augusta in like 2002 or something like that. I think I said that. I think I was like, I don't believe him.

And that was it. You did. No, you were like, I'm just not believing that fat. I was like, well, that's, I mean, him and Freddie couples are all saying it's his first one since the late 90s. So why would they be wrong? and I didn't see anybody else fact-checked, but a couple of people emailed us or DMed us, and we're like, no, here's like the video.

Feels good to be right. It's a couple weeks later. I haven't looked at it, but I saw that enough, but I think that has to be legit, that he got a whole-on-one. Sometime in the early 2000s, I think, in the Part 3 contest. So let's say it was like,

I don't even know what the numbers. Let's say it was under 30, and that's Tiger Woods playing all his life, the best golf of all time. Like, and this guy's going to say he fucking put him, what, like, 64? Just a complete psychopathic life. Right.

And Tiger plays more, like, at least as much, or if not way more golf than that guy. I think it's like an infinite amount more. And is way better. It's so much better. Like it's just one, a big time long. Just shooting starts.

Just a staggering amount better than that other guy. The guy was like a 12 handicap. It's like Jersey mobster. That guy sucks. That was crazy. I actually, like, I think that guy's never got one.

And I think he just went way off the reservation with his lot. I think so too. He didn't know how to lie. He didn't want to say I got once. He's like, I got 64. He just panicked in the moment. He was like,

I got 64 of them. People like, what? You can a whole one, yeah. Yeah. And they're like, when? Like, dude, I have 64 of them. What? He overdid his life.

Excuse me? You have 64? Yeah, that guy. I didn't like that thing. Next one. This is kind of a general one because I've seen this come in a lot for a lot of people that are coming to town for the PGA championship. Bethpage Black will, of course, be there. So see all of you there.

But a lot of people, Frankie, I've been asking you about Long Island Hidden Gems. Public courses that they should play. Like the blacks obviously going to be closed, like most of Bethpage, I imagine will be closed. They'll be using it for the tournament. What are the courses in the area should people be playing? Let's see. What was that wind watch one, but that's kind of far? No, it's not.

I mean, well, kind of far, meaning, like you have to have a rental car, right, for that week? Yeah. You have to drive like 25, 30 minutes. But if you're willing to make the drive 25, 30 minutes, even 40 minutes on Long Island, you will hit a decent amount of pretty good public golf courses, which is what I do. every time I play now. I don't. I refuse to go to like the Eisenhower Park, which is right by my house. I have, you know, the history with the golf balls there and the driving range and stuff. You should be. You're not welcome there anymore. It's my home course. But it's like you wait.

I'm not welcome there. It's my home. You wait there for an hour to play just like a very, very muny court, right? Like just a very flat, no, no character type golf course. When you can just get in the car, drive 30 minutes to a place that's like a country club, country club atmosphere, you know, They don't really care. You don't have to sign away your life for the golf carts, the whole thing. So it's like Mill Pond. Well, I've heard Mill Pond. I play often.

It's awesome. It's like, very, like, brown with high, fescue. Every time I take a picture of it, people, I remember Whitney messaged me. He's like, buddy, where is this track? I'm like, it's like 35 bucks, 30 minutes away from my house. Like most public golf course of all time. Mill Pond? Mill Pond, awesome golf course.

Like that recommendation. It's very, like, small. It's very, um, tight. It's not that long. If you tip it out, I mean, it can't be, like, more than, like, 6,400. yards. It's very tight. Irons off the T's, very cool shots. It's a little bit of water. Crazy.

We lose a ton of balls there. So, recommendation. Milpon also go on Supreme Golf, look all in the area. You'll find all kinds of good stuff. A little plug for our boys there. Milpon, nice little recommendation. From our guy. Frankie. Darrell. Darrell says that they...

So they've got a crew. There's four of them. They do scramble tournaments all the time. They love the team aspect and all that. However, one guy in their scramble is a classic golf psychopath. He's a lunatic. He breaks clubs. He throws clubs. They say it's so bad that he gets to a point where they can't even say anything to him.

If they say anything to him within like a couple minutes of him having a horrible shot, he'll snap on him. It ruins all the team mojo. Nobody's having any fun. He says every time after they play, hey, guys, like I know, but I'll never do it again. I just lost it a little bit out there. And they said every single time it happens. they did say that they encouraged him to get a little drunk, and when he does, he doesn't care,

but by the 14th hole, he's wasted and sucks. So their question is, do they have any suggestions? I do have a suggestion. My suggestion is, for one or two of these tournaments, you just replace him. Yeah, see how he likes that. Don't find a permanent replacement. One or two tournaments, you replace him. When he asks, you say,

hey man, you're a psychopath. And you're tossing clubs everywhere. Killing the team vibe. It's fun. Scramble's fun. We're having a good time. And you keep saying you're not going to do it anymore, but then you keep doing it. So you've been punished and we're kicking you out.

And then after a couple of the events, be like, all right, you know, we're kind of considering bringing you back in. What, you got to be cool. I think that'll send the message. As one who's been angry on the golf course. Let him know, yeah. Let him know he's not completely necessary. Have you ever gotten kicked out of a tournament rotation race? No.

Oh. It's impressive. I don't think so. They were too scared to kick you out. Maybe. That would be like a dangerous spot to be in. That's like another level. Like they might be in the similar situation. Well, you can agree that you've probably been a little more intense.

Like you brought intensity to a group that maybe they didn't know that they were getting, right? Like you probably. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Definitely. Like a big scramble, a tournament. You showed up fucking ready to fire. And like if someone was like.

Scramble, I would say never. No, never happened. No, scramble, it's just, you know what I mean? It's known for. the beginning and I have enough awareness to understand that. But what about the Dadbod Classic? Dad Bad Classic, half the event's way more intense than I am. Wow.

Yeah, people get really into that shit. Got it. But that's kind of like you invite people that are kind of all in that level. Right, right, right. They love to get super intense. And again, there's some golfers who don't get that intense. Scramble, though, I mean, scramble, it's just known for the beginning that it's like, it's a fucking hit and giggle, as Bubba Watson would call it.

Oh, makes it feel so weird every time you say that. I know you don't like that. The hitting giggles are so strange. Your solution is a good one. Yeah, boot him for two events. Let him know that it's a lesson. We don't need you, pal. It's a lesson.

Make them think. Two events. Not like your anger and what it takes away from the group is not worth having you long. Having you every time. And I think the biggest part is that he knows that he gets mad, right? Because he said like, oh, I won't do this next time. So he's obviously aware that there's a problem. So that's like a door to, like, giving him those two events off.

It's not like you're just going to out of the blue, be like, yo, you're done. done. Like, no, like, you know you have a problem. You said you're going to stop next time. He just didn't. So we're just going to, like, go with another guy. Right. Darrell said they've had conversations.

The guy's been like, yeah. No, no, I'll totally be different next time. So I will say that there's a pretty funny story. Donnie does blogged it like a year ago of my buddies and I showed up to a tournament, a scramble. We knew like one guy, knew a friend of a friend and they were trying to fill spots in this. So we somehow ended up at this tournament in a scramble. And it was back when I was living in Boston like three or four years ago.

maybe four or five years ago and we showed up to the scramble we wore cut off Hawaiian shirts cut off Hawaiian like button downs and we wore like like that Shinnock hat that you got the Sun Hat? Yeah you know what I'm talking about and what do you call those things?

Straw hat Yeah it was like a big Yeah we all wore straw hats and you know it was like a big booze day We took like a Monday off work It was a big like drink and go out and hit balls Have fun it was like a four cart backup on every tea so that's just like a drinking fest.

We've made buddies with the groups in front of us and the groups behind us. We don't win in the tournament. And then Donnie does, and his buddies didn't know what to do because these nobodies that nobody knew won the golf tournament. They had these like these green jackets made up

and stuff that they were going to give to the champions for a year and they let us take pictures in them but didn't give them to us. They're like, we don't know who the fuck these guys are. What a weird thing that Donnie does was involved? Isn't that crazy? Yeah. It's insane that Don't know.

He found out like a year ago going, through old pictures was like, wait a second, that looks like rigs. And it was us. Holy smokes. Yeah, we called ourselves the sharks. The sharks. We were the savage sharks, we call ourselves. You know why?

Because I think our hats had the shark, a great Norman logo on it. Wow. So we are the savage sharks. Won the tournament. I'll send a picture. It's great. Pretty good. That was a good time.

John says, you win the Career Grand Slam. Where do you win each one? What's your choice? Essentially asking what do you think like the most iconic best venue is for each one? St. Andrews, the Open. Yep. Yeah. Pebble Beach, U.S. Open.

Okay The other two is just like What do I really want to play Well the other one The other one I'm sorry Yeah Augusta National

It's gonna be an Augusta National Yeah I mean I would want to win a Beth Page Because it's uh I thought you're gonna say Beth page Yeah It's essentially like this year Like whatever this year's without Augusta

This year's four Right because we're getting No what's the open I think San Andrews is in two years San Andrews I'm saying this year we're getting pet. You are getting Beth Page. We're getting Pabell.

So, yeah, outside of the British Open. Correct. That's actually what I would have guessed for you. Yeah. That's what I would have guessed for you. The other one's Royal Port Rush, which, like, you'd have to be a northern Irishman to be like, I really want to win. No, I want this year's, this year's majors with just the swap of Augusta. I mean, San Andrews.

That's my dream. I think St. Andrews definitely. I think that's everyone's, right? Yeah, that's got to be. I mean, when you're talking iconic. I was trying to think about it. And, like, I was trying in my head to justify another one because it's so cliche to say the old course of St. Andrews.

But I think the way it would go for me would be obviously Augusta, then St. Andrews, then probably Belarieve because St. Louis. Belarive. Belarive. All right. Because St. Louis. That's an odd one because that, like, wasn't all. I mean, for you, it was on the map, but for, you know. A lot of people, like, hated the golf course.

A lot of people thought the course, like, wasn't major championship. caliber and it wasn't even in like amazing shape and all that having been there and like how many of my friends and family and all that were out there like imagine fucking yeah rigs like rigs like rigs wins the fucking yeah that's an interesting way to look at it like pgge oh that's riggs one he's from around here who won that one rigs riggs oh that's uh riggs emd from that golf podcast rigsy riggszy rigsy majors riggs he loves it actually he loved it he found it uh he got email next week. Hey, Rigsie Major, what's your favorite venue to win? Rigsley Major.

From a guy named like Alphan. Of course you dig that. Because you write, keep writing these goddamn emails. I don't write the emails. I just read them. I go through and read the emails. If you think that my next character on the next golf video game, when you do the career mode, isn't going to be called Rigsie Majors?

Rigsy Majors is so solid. You're crazy. And then U.S. Open, I'm very torn. Pebble Beach is obviously the most probably the most iconic but I really think winning at one of the classic classic difficult

like wing foot I'd probably have to say wing foot I think their logo is the best I like that it's New York I thought you were going to say Shinnecock you got the New York vibe Shinnecock's amazing Shinnecock's amazing

just because of the carnage too It's like you dominate it Wingfoot I think there's going to be more carnage Really? Oh yeah Holy smokes I think something's several. I mean, how is your boy going to deal with that? His brain's going to shatter in half.

Yeah. They're going to lose control of golf course. He's going to make it known, and that's kind of where we're going to go. I mean, if they lost control of the golf course there, and it's going to be worse. I mean, you're talking some monsters coming out of those sand traps. We'll cross-it bridge when we come to it. All right. Imagine they just have sandstorms coming out of the bunkers.

He would not like that. My guy would not like that. He would be very upset with that. So my four are going to be. Augusta, Belideave, which people are going to shit on me for, but it would be so cool to win in St. Louis. Augusta, Bella to Eve, St. Andrews, the old course, and Wingfoot. That's a good crew. Augusta, Pebble Beach.

Augusta, Pebble Beach. St. Andrews, got to be St. Andrews. And then TPC Deer Run. I knew you were going to say that. TPC Deer Run. That's good. That's rich. That's absolutely rich.

You know, got to do it. Jack says, my buddy. and I play golf and we are at school two to three times a week. He always brings his speaker and likes to play EDM on the course 95% of the time. 95% of the time. This annoys the shit out of me because EDM is just simply not golf music. We both like country and other stuff like a little Van Morrison or Tom Petty, so I don't get why he only plays EDM.

The old people on the course always yell at us for playing trash music. Can you tell him, Cole Murphy puts his name in there. Well, he wants us to do the job for him. That's what's going on here. Can you tell him, Cole Murphy, that EDM is on the course is not okay? So he's using the podcast as a forum to tell. Which is fine. This is fifth, six, seven time we've done this.

Cole Murphy, stop doing that. Cole Murphy, stop. Have you released your, uh, uh, Rigsie playlist? Rigsie called the Rigsie Golf playlist. Okay. Rigsie Jams. Have you released that yet? You can call me Rigsie Jams.

I mean, we just beat him to the next email. you knew that if he hadn't talked about when he was going to be releasing that playlist, he would have got an email. Rigsie Jams. When are we getting that golf playlist? You're saying this was a setup email that he wrote. I'm not saying that we just... That's a stretch.

Set up from fucking Cole Murphy's buddy here? I'm saying that we saw one step ahead of what you were going to do. You were going to be like, oh, shit, I haven't released that playlist yet. And let me just throw this email in there. I'm going to call myself Rigsie Jams. Like Rigsie Jams. We all know that, you know, that playlist is lurking. Where is it?

And you're going to be like, well, thanks for asking, John. You guys deep down, you think you think. I write those emails myself. I think you've written no... I think you actually wrote one. I think you wrote the Rigsie Weather one. That's crazy. I really do.

I genuinely believe that you wrote that one. That's crazy. Or you called yourself Riggsie Weather in it. I think you, like, you finagled it a little bit. I think that's crazy, Tom. I think you're a crazy person. I mean, I think you wrote both of them. I think he definitely had his hand in something.

I think you copy and pasted something, and you deleted, like, I'm calling you, like, Sam, and you put Rigsie Weather. I'm not going to justify that with me. answer. That's not, that's just not even worthy of an answer. Cole Murphy, as somebody who reads the actual, I read the emails also. And like whenever Reg sends the outline, he puts everything, if you look at the emails, word for word, word. Word for word. I don't know about Jake.

Yeah, I mean, that's not a reliable source, no offense. That's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's noted. That's all say to that. That's him being too scared to kick him out of the rotation. Oh, you think that was a noted job? Noted. Yeah. That's a Noda be gay right there. I think that was a noted job. Of course. What are you crazy?

I mean, Jake is Noda in the side. Yes. Oh, Riggs always writes the emails perfectly. Cole Murphy, stop listening to EDM on the golf course. I don't like where this podcast is gone. Where is that playlist? I've seen, I mean, so the Rigsie Golf playlist, which is going to be brought to you by Rigsie Jams. Rigsie Jams. I'm sorry, you go on. Another sick name. I have to say so myself. We'll be released shortly. I have, look, I have solid fucking playlist, if it's anything that I've already heard. It's awesome. It's awesome. Now, last time we talked to.

about this and I get a lot of requests for this I just ignore them. The playlist was about two hours long and it was awesome. Turns out for a golf playlist needs to be about five, you know, because you got to play slow round, you got to have a little breather, maybe even five and a half. That's fucking double, almost two and a half times the amount that I already had. So I really want to keep the theme of the playlist, keep it up as good at Calibur as it is. So it's been painstaking. I've got to go through, I've got to listen to a lot of songs.

I've been going through other golf playlist and going through a lot of their songs and seeing what I like, what I don't like, what I think fits for the golf course. It's getting close. It's very close to being done. Luckily, in the Northeast and in much of the country, it's not golf season yet, although we are getting close.

So I would say next couple weeks, the Rigsie Golf playlist will be released. I'm going to release it on Spotify, which we like Spotify, we're big fans of Spotify. I'm going to tell everybody where it is, make it public, I'm going to figure all that BS out. But the Rigsie Golf playlist, brought to you by Rigsie Jams,

will be out in the next. couple weeks. You know you have to change your Spotify name to Rigsie Jams now. You have to. I already done it. Oh shit. This email is from Rigsie Jams at Google.com. What's up? What is that list?

Yo, Rigsie Jams. Why don't we get in that fire playlist? Thanks, John, for the question. Actually. You guys, I mean, he hates it. Hates. Oh, it's just not true. It's not truthful. Podcasts is, it's, you guys are splintering

the show, despite the fact that there's no reason to splinter. The listeners, anyways. Alex writes, you have to pick four new majors. The current majors are not on the table. They have been phanosed out of existence. What four tournaments do you choose? So essentially, the Masters, the U.S. Open, the British Open,

and the PGA Championship just vanish. They're just gone. However, there have to be four major championships. Golf, what become the four major championships? The players becomes one. Players, no braider. I already made my John Deere Classic Joker. Oh, God.

You know? Frank goes, oh, God. So, I would probably say the... Oh, I know. The Players' Championship. Yep. The Tour Championship. Yep.

The Memorial. Good one. And then I'm going to throw a little wrench in there. And I'm going to say... the LA Open, aka Riviera. The golf course is amazing. That was where J.B. Holmes won a couple weeks ago. Over J.T.

If you remember that, J.T., I had like a four-shot lead and blew that. It's in Los Angeles, which is really cool. Riviera is a classic golf course that everybody loves. Got the 10th hole, which is the drive-able par four, all that. So I would probably say, L.A. Open, yeah, those are my four. LA Open Memorial Tour Championship, Players' Championship. So I'm going players, Memorial, Tour, waste management. Can you imagine the waste management management is a major?

That's that fucking... That's a fucking awesome answer. Oh, that would be incredible. Oh. That stadium, like, when it actually matters for a major and, like, people are going absolutely bonkers. Imagine, like, the waste management masters. That's not... I think the waste management would have to be, like, the U.S. Open.

and I think like the players would be the masters. Yeah, it has like the iconic fin. Yeah, yeah, I agree with that. That would be fucking, I mean, I think the waste management should be a major because of how cool that, like, just feels. It's awesome. It really is cool. The only one I want to add to that, they should do, uh, I'm just going through the list.

No, no, I wanted to say that, but I use TBCC period. They should. Do the Zurich. The team event? Make it a team major. With the walk-up music and shit? Yes. Oh, God.

I forgot about that. At a wrinkle every year. Walk up music, do whatever you want. I hate that tournament. I mean, it's... I like that they're doing something different with it. I don't like the direction that they've taken some of the things that they're doing. You know what I mean?

We loved the idea of the beginning. It just hasn't. I think my buddy used to work for Zerk. He listens to the podcast. Tell me if you used to work for Zerk. That's the worst goddamn golf tournament in the world. I don't think he works them anymore. That's the worst golf tournament in the world.

I just put the connection. I think he used to work for Zerk. Do you think we're the only people that hate the Zurich Classic? The Zyrk Classic's just such a non-golf tournament. It's like a non... There's nothing like... They try and spice it up, and every year it's just something weird. It just feels weird.

I think everybody hates it, but we are the ones who vocalize it. You know, Kizn and his boy, I think, won the Zeric Classic a couple years ago. Do they win it or lose it? That's such a kid... I think they made it to the player. The Zericclic Classic is the ultimate Kiz... Kevin Kisner win. I've ever seen in my entire life.

So he got into a play. playoff. I know he like hold, Kiz hold like a chip on the 72nd hole to get into a playoff. And then maybe they lost that playoff. I think that's what happened. Trying to look at his wins right now. Yeah. So that's what happened.

He lost in a playoff. The Zerick Classic 2017 was Scott Brown to Jonas Blix and Cameron Smith. Lost to Bertie on the fourth extra hole. I think they had to come back on a Monday. But Kiz had like a sick hole out, I want to say, for Bertie to get into the playoff on Sunday. But I don't know. The walk-up music is what did it for me.

When they were up there banging their heads and letting their hats off and like trying to do rock music and some people were trying to be, that was just too much. And the build-up to it, we knew it was going to be cringeworthy. It ended up being 10,000 times more cringeworthy than we ever expected. And it's just, it's a clown show. It's not funny. It's not good. Zurich. It's just like the name Zurich classic.

Makes you think like you're going to go there and like just get your taxes done. Like I don't even know what that's. That's where our troubles started. Oh, you guys, troubles started at the Zurich. Yeah. Yeah, it's just not our kind of tournament. I don't know why. It's supposed to be.

On paper, it should be. It just doesn't. It's just not made for us. Let's turn it into a major. So we're not... Trent Daddy, let's turn it to be a minute. I could have been the worst answer for that question I've ever heard. I could rather play a Mill Pond.

Milpon sounds like a delight. The Mill Pond open. It sounds... Sign me up right now. You know, that sounds like a major that they would put in Happy Gilmore. Yeah. Yes, it does. The Mill Pond opened.

The mill pond open. Yes, for sure. Or like the tournament where Happy gets, like, his tour status. Yes. Welcome to the Mill Pond Open. Yes. And Shooters there as, like, the ambassador. Shooter.

Shooter. All right. I don't even think Mill Pond has a Pond, by the way, which is, like, hilarious. They should be called Millgrass. They have a little body of water. I'm talking. It's from one side of a fairway to the other. Like, it just connects two holes.

A little body of water. I guess it's a pond. Sounds like a pond to me. What you just described? There's a pod. But pots should be a little bigger, right? Like if a lot of a lake. Maybe I'm thinking of a lake.

Yeah. I think they nailed the name, actually, from what I've never heard someone go, like, they don't have any pods and then just describe exactly what I mean. From what I just described, I don't think the name could be any more perfect. I think it's actually a pond. I'm thinking of, like, a big body water. That's a lake. Yeah.

Talking of body water, a couple hundred yards wide on each side. Yeah. Kind of like there's a bunch of stuff around it. You can see. Yeah. Yeah, that's the pond right there. Yep. So Jake just pulled up a picture.

I mean, it's just... You literally couldn't call that any of all. It's a pond. It's a pond. Yeah. All right. Enjoy Bay Hill, the Arna Palmer, Invitational. The King.

Love the King. One of the most beloved, like I said. Is there anything else you want to talk about? No, I want to go to sleep. Yeah, you sound like you want to go sleep. I haven't eaten anything today. Frankie Naps? Frankie sleeps.

Frankie REM cycles? Hopefully I don't get tossed in my bed. Good luck tonight, Trent. you now I'm scared to go to bed. I'll use you. I can guarantee you. I'll leave with this that you will think about that happening to you tonight before you close your eyes. You're going, well, what if?

I'll just be like, here we go. It's like going bungee jumping. Yeah, you can joke about it. You can, like, before you close your eyes, you'd be like, I could get fucked up tonight by some ghost. I'm definitely going to think about that now. There's no doubt about it. That's such a terrifying feeling and thought. Awesome.

I can't even imagine that. It's going to be great. I've been imagining it during the show, and it's been one of the funniest things I've ever experienced. I mean, I laughed, but once it's game time and I lay down on that bed tonight. You just strung above your bed. Oh, man. Arms dangling, chest up towards the ceiling. Blanket slowly falls off you while you're just...

You're just in the air. Then you slowly... We got to get out of here. I don't want to... We also have an animator to, like, make this. You go from getting slowly dragged to just whammy. And then my dumb ass walks in here, and I'm like, I don't understand why.

My neck hurt to the way. I feel this morning. I don't know. My fucking back is killing me. Feels like I was fucking hit by a truck. All I did was just go to sleep last night. You know what, Frankie? It actually feels like I was picked up and bounced down my floor a bunch of times.

I know that sounds crazy, but it feels like I was tossed around my room. There's dents all in the walls. I don't know what's going. We got to stop talking about it because that's all I'm going to be thinking about. All right. We'll be back on Tuesday. Have a great weekend, everybody. Enjoy it.
