Hey, 4Play listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Foreplay, I'm sorry, Barstool Sports. This is, I would say, in five years of doing and working at Barstool Sports, the craziest thing that we've ever done. It is Thursday, May 27th, 2021. It's 5 a.m. local time. And we're recording a podcast so that we can have ourselves a long weekend for once. when this comes out, if what we're talking about doesn't make sense, go fuck yourselves

because we recorded this like five days ago and we're trying to make the world work and allow Jake Bass and our producers to have a long weekend. So that's the situation. I hope everybody had a great Memorial Day weekend. Frankie's going to be in a weird place because of the islanders, they could be in heaven and up a couple games. They could be getting slaughtered and he's getting roasted by all of his coworkers. I really don't know what's going to happen. But anyways, good morning, gentlemen.

Good morning. Morning to you. Yeah. So when you're listening to this, the islanders had just beaten the Pittsburgh Penguins last night. We're coming off the day after Brooks v. Bryson on Twitter and Instagram and all these things. So it's kind of a weird time in the golf world right now. The golf world is on fire. The hockey world is on fire.

I'm preparing to go into battle with Dave, Marina, Fidelberg, Rierads, Grenelli, Paul, Whitney. It's just the list goes on and on and on. but yeah it's uh it's early and last night was fun at the coliseum burrellys was packed but you know we're here to do a podcast it's not just about us getting a long weekend it's really the producers these guys have never had a day i don't think in the last eight months where they haven't edited a video the entire day edited a podcast i mean not one day or night off so the fact that they would have had to like all not have any plans over this memorial day weekend and stay there and do the Zoom and do the podcast promos and stuff.

Got to get it done. So we're just getting it done. A couple of us are pretty banged up, you know, pretty banged up. Let me said, Brikey was celebrating last night, and it's just an ungodly hour. Lurch looked at me and said that it looked like I'd throw it out my back, just trying to walk basically away from... You look pretty rigid.

The WebEx call for a second and get a goddamn ice water, and, you know, yeah, it's early. It's a really freakish time to be up. We're just not a morning crew, really. I don't think any of us are morning people. So, I mean, I got coffee. I think I feel okay. Obviously, Frankie had a long night, and Riggs is up at an hour that I have not seen in probably 15 years, honestly.

Like, when was the last time the rest of us were up at 5 a.m.? Never? I saw it like a week ago. Oh. Like a couple times. I see it for travel usually, but I'm not up at 5 to actually do something. That's the difference. Like, if I'm up at 5, I can, like, slog my.

way through a coffee and an hour or two before I have to enter the reason that I'm fucking up. Or even if you're traveling, all you have to do is just be a zombie and go through security and then just drop your pathetic ass in an airplane seat and fall asleep for like three hours. I could do that. Getting up and actually my brain needs to work and talk to you idiots about God knows what for the next two hours. It's a little different. It's a little bit different. My big thing with waking up that early, I need to get LASIC eye surgery.

And I'd love to see some messages come in. I just can't wear contacts anymore in glasses. Like to be able to wake up and just go and sit in an airplane would be great. Like I don't want to have to have the whole thing, especially now like the masks on the airplane, the fog goes into the glasses. It's just like I want to be able to wake up and live. So I would love to get some kind words of encouragement for anyone that has survived getting your eyeballs like stitched up. and I know Riggs has, but not for LASIC eye surgery. You know, that's something I definitely want to do,

but it's just a little nerve-wracking. Like, I also don't want to be blind. So that kind of would suck. You do bring up an interesting point, like being able to wake up and just see is such a foreign concept to, like, I don't know, alert, do you wear contacts? No. So, like, that's one thing.

I just have 100% taken for granted and didn't even really think about it until now that you and Frankie just wake up. up in a fog and then it's like a scramble of touching things to get something on your eyes and then the world can be really pathetic if you think about what you guys do when you wake up and i don't put them on like i wake up and i don't put them on until i've showered and i'm like getting dressed so i walk you know i wake up and then i like find my way like i'm not blind blind i can see shapes and i've lived in my apartment for three years so i know where things are so i can find my way to the shower and everything but it's yeah it'd be such a different feeling to be able to wake up and just

just be like, oh, these are my eyes. That's lurch. That's actually crazy because I feel like the thing that happened to my eyes was my eyes were fine. And I didn't wear contacts. I didn't wear glasses up until I was like 20 or 21. And it was when I was working a desk job. And I was staring at a screen for 10 hours a day. And that really deteriorated my eyes.

I remember it got to the point. I remember when I needed glasses was when I was watching ESPN and the bottom scroll was going across with the scores and batting average or whatever. and I couldn't read those. They were very blurry. And I was like, oh, I'm going blind now because I've been staring at, you know, when I worked a cube 9 to 5. And then I was like, I have to get glasses. So the fact that you, I mean, you've just made it all the way through staring at screens forever

and haven't had to get any sort of contacts or glasses is a little bit of a miracle. So I go with the old blue blockers. Wow. And I think these things actually help. Okay. I'm looking in the screen all day. Ooh, there's a little voice crack for you. We're going to have some.

It's going to be a voice crack heavy show, I think, ladies and gentlemen. So to that point, though, Trent, are like Airbnb's just like a nightmare for you? Because you've got kind of the idea of where your apartment is in the walls. But do Airbnb become kind of an issue? We're over. You can't be that blind. Right, right. That's what I'm going to say.

We're overestimating how bad my eyesight is. Like, when I take my glasses off, I can like, things are still discernible. and it's just like a, it's just blurry. And I, and it's fine. But like it's, I know there are probably some people who like, they have to put their glasses on immediately because things are just completely screwed up. Yeah, I was just, you had me envisioning you as like Leonardo DiCaprio and Wolf of Wall Street when he's on the, yeah, he literally just like can't his body, he can't see anything and he's feeling around to go literally anywhere in the world.

But I guess you guys could see you a little bit. One thing that's going to stun people is that a transfusion Thursday when we're recording this. And I don't know how that's going to hit home with this. crew that's not supposed to be up with this ungodly hour. But part of the reason I'm a little bit banged up in a good way is because I couldn't help myself last night and had a couple transfusions with the crew because we are, again, we're going back in time right now. Well, we're going to be Friday in Denver for the Barstool Classic.

We were in Arizona, Monday, and Tuesday. And so the crew, the Barstool Classic crew was around. We were hanging at the apartment. We were hanging around town. We had a few Owens, mixtures, transfusions, and they were fucking delicious. And I also will say that we get a good amount of folks who've never had it before for whatever reason, that either work with us or they're relatively new or whatever, they just haven't had it. I'm like, yeah, I can't wait to try this first time.

I would say it's 130% approval rating, satisfaction rating. It's off the charts how much people just love this shit when they finally get it and try it. So yeah, Transfusion Thursday. It's now Tuesday when you're listening to this. That's going to mess everybody up. But Owens is really good. The transfusion is really good. Yeah, it's really, really good.

I unfortunately had, like, another... I was at a place where someone just threw me a drink, and it was, unfortunate, it was, like, another type of, like, transfusion drink, and it was just not good. And it just wasn't as good. And you really can see how good the Owens mixers actually taste, right? Because, like, it's... At the end of the day, it's a very simple drink.

It's just grape juice and club soda and... I'm sorry, ginger ale and vodka. and you should just be able to figure that out, but for some reason, Owens has just figured it out better. Same reason why, like, Peter Milar has just figured out their texture better on their clothes. Like, Owens Mixers is at that level now where they are the gold standard when it comes to that mixer game and that transfusion. Like, that is what you're going to strive for when you're getting a transfusion. There are other options, sure, but if you're going for the best, you're going for Owens Mixers.

It's a fact. they are they've gotten that title now well just like any good like bartender like you need a good drink with good parts you know like if you just dump grape juice in there huge issue it's just not the same drink that you're looking for and yeah the owen's own mixers are fantastic i'm partial to the plomo side of the house but um but yeah i mean you know they're just a fantastic mix and i agree with rigs's point when you throw somebody one they're like oh that's just that's just a delicious cockpit. Yeah, they nailed it.

They nailed the mixer game. It's fantastic news. All right. So another thing I want to focus on here and talk about. Do you guys see this fucking video that Foreplay tweeted out last night of the water cooler on the golf course? Oh, yes. No. Trent and Frankie, who I want now, I want to get a live reaction.

I want you guys to go to the Foreplay podcast, Twitter account, on Twitter. dot com machine website on the internet machine where you communicate in you know 280 characters or less with other folks that are also on the website and I want you to look at this video and I want you to start it from the beginning and I want to get your you know reactions in real time about what occurs in this little water core video on a golf course here's here's what else here's all stare off the bat I already know I'm fucked because the caption I know what those captions mean I think it says nope no thank you which makes

Hold on now. Hold on now. Hold on. Where is this video? It's on 4Play Twitter.com, backslash 4Playpod. Yeah, you'll find it. Look for a big green water cooler. Foreplay Twitter. Okay, I was looking on Instagram. So I'm looking at it right now. I'm just looking at a water cooler. And I can't hear what the person's saying because I don't want to play the, oh, no. Oh, no, something's going to come out of here. What the fuck is that? It is.

What the fuck is that? It is. Turn the volume up. I don't even think you need to. I think you can just watch it. So look, is that... Hello, is my video going to play or what? What year am I in?

Oh, that's a fucking snake. I don't mean to spoil it on you, but that's a fucking snake. I will say, I'm... Oh, that's a problem, dude. Oh, my God, just waiting in the darkness. Dude, the scariest part is that it's just waiting. It's not doing anything else. It's literally just sitting in that corner.

Like, yeah, go try to get some water. I can't wait. It's luthering its little tongue like fucking. Oh my God. Nothing's thick. Yeah. It's a serious snake in there. Like, bro, that's a problem.

This is why, yeah, that, this is why, like, those areas of the world are a little bit too much for me. Like, I can't handle the snakes, the tarantula's. Look, like, that's in there. Yeah, no. Like, if I got to go get water and there's a snake just waiting to take my fucking hand off like that's not nice that's like that's illegal what do you guys more scared of snakes or like i was expecting when i saw that caption a bunch of spiders to like little ones to come running out of there and that's what i'm more scared of snakes are very scary but i'm more afraid of like little insects

like that um i'm gonna say snakes okay snakes take the cake snakes are just horrific evil creatures that uh you everything about the way that they move the way that they sound, the fact that they hide and just wait for things, the fact that they come out of the ground, that shouldn't be like legal. The fact that they could just come out of the fucking a hole in the ground is where they appear from. That's bullshit. Like, think about that. Okay, you scan the whole area. You do everything right.

You hit the ground to like warn and send vibrations so that any snake will slither away. And they come out of the fucking a hole in the ground that you're standing next to and attack. you that's insane i mean i stared down and dominated a snake in australia i don't know if the video reflects that but i mean i dominated it so i'm like i'm like not that scared of snakes anymore because i clearly was the alpha in that situation and i dominated that snake in that bunker so i'm less scared of them now for sure trin but like when you're scared of spiders though like the the snake is just it's more of an end game you know what i mean like a spider is going to hurt you but it's like it might sting a little bit,

but it's not going to kill you most likely. Right. I mean, that thing gets wrapped around your finger and you're on whole eight. I mean, you got a real issue on your hair. I'm with you. I'm definitely,

like, scared of snakes, but there's something about little creepy crawlers that really makes my skin just react. I don't like it. What's up? Makes your skin crawl? Was that what you're going to say?

I was. I don't want to double up on the crawl, so I just, I tried to go somewhere else with it. But, you know, I'm scared. They're both scary. Equally scary. It could be tough to get a smile out of Frankie today.

It's just, it's early. You had a good night last night. He's just negative. I got a busy day today, too. Like, that's why, that's one main reason why we're doing this so early is, like, we have busy days. So, like, fuck, man. I'm just like, I got a lot of things going on today. And I'm just, we were at Borales until, like, 4 a.m.

It's just one of those nights, you know? That's why the grind of the playoffs is something. Let me tell you. the scene about Borelli's looked absolutely incredible. You know, I went back and forth on like, could I post that and stuff? Like, it's just craziness. I don't know. Just because, like, we've lived in a world for the year where, like, you had to have, like,

dividers between every single seat and, like, the restaurant wasn't open for six months. And, like, but, like, fuck, man. The whole Coliseum was there. No one, like, no one had mass on in the game. Everyone's vaccinated at this point at the Coliseum. And they piled that place in. And, like, I was just like, you know what, man? we may never like I never thought I would see people inside Borrelli's like that ever again

especially at the Nassau Coliseum so many things had to happen for that to come like happen again like the Coliseum was fucking closed in 2015 and then they came back because the Barclos Center sucked there were so many times where like that should never have happened again so one last hurrah I was like I even texted Trent I'm like what do you think about this he's like dude look at the city right now after the next game he's like it's just happening this is the world now so I was very excited to be able to do that Yeah, no, you did text me. After the PGA, yeah.

Yeah, PGA was everything sort of opened back up again. And yeah, after the Knicks one last night at MSG, I mean, our offices were over there, but I was driving by that this morning on my way here. And, like, I was just picturing what that looked like last night. It was a mob scene. People were on top of cars and chaos. So, yeah, and it was a great video. That Borelli's video was awesome.

It was cool to see it open, cool to see it packed, like just. It's inspirational. Very much. You got me, like, yeah, as a non-even Islander fan, I was like, fucking, we're back. It was the same thing, like, even if you despise it. Phil Mickelson and you saw that scene on 18. You're like, we're back.

And I don't, you're not crazy for being hesitant about posting it. I'm that way with like Barstall Classic content. We got a bunch of people hanging around, a putting green or whatever. But like on some level, over half the country of like adults are vaccinated now. People like that are in the high risk population all had the opportunity. And many have like gotten vaccinated at this point.

And the companies or the country's reopening for a reason. I think New York, it's what? Like July. Something is like going full reopen. Is that right? Yeah, just open, yeah. And then June, I think June 15th, which is legit like the week of U.S. Open week, California is going full reopened.

So, yeah, I mean, I don't think that you're crazy again for being a little bit sensitive to it because we don't want to be assholes. Like we get that there's a pandemic step. But in our country where I think the most people were probably vaccinated, we're getting closer to reopening. I think people are fucking excited about that. Yeah. Nothing wrong with that.

Yeah, it was very exciting. It was like, it was the image of the country. turning around. That's what it felt like inside. People were like saying it, like at the place. Like, people were just excited to be doing anything again. Like doing what you wanted again. It was, it was fun to see. We use hyperbole a lot on the show and just in general. How close were you to actually having a heart attack? Because some of the videos that came out of you at the Coliseum next to your dad, there was one where like you look like you had, you were having trouble breathing. It was, it was concerning. Dude, legitimately, the Islanders scored

two goals in a row. Brock Nelson scored the first one, which is fucking awesome. That's my guy. Ryan Poulog scored the second one, which is awesome. That's my fucking guy. And like,

it was 12 seconds apart. Place was going bonkers. We went down, we went from down 3-2 to fucking up 4-3 in a blink of an eye. It was insane. And, um,

and I just, I saw stars, man. Like, legitimately when you see the black come from the corners of your eyes closer to the middle and just like, dots everywhere. If you rewatch this video, man, my lips turn white and I legitimately have to sit down.

There's a moment where you really see my eyes roll over the back of my head. I go from excited to like nervous, very quickly. And no one really checks on me. That's the big thing. My dad's next to me, my buddy Kyle, my cousin Stephen. No one. No one says a word to me. I'm just sitting there amongst the crowd.

I could have died in that seat. No one would have known. You've got three rounds to go. Yeah. Yeah. Right. And yeah, like we already said, the Boston thing, like this is going to come out on Tuesday. Who knows what that's going to look like? Right now you're pretty happy. You're a little hungover, a long night, whatever. It could look really good or really bad. But last night was cool for sure. Boys, I got my first member guest, which I'm actually going to be rushing to, like 1 p.m. shotgun got to barely make this thing. Got to be coming back from the city. What are the vibes going into like a member guest, right?

Like, I know, I'm like a little nervous that I'm playing with a guy who's like a fun member at the golf club and wants to win, like, wants to play well. He's had, I'm his like partner. He was at the island of him and he's like, we got to beat this fucking guy like pointing at them and they're like drinking and like you're not coming close to beating us. It's all me. Is it a, is it like a three day or is it a one day? What is it? It's a one day. Okay.

No, I mean, you should, you should not be nervous. You should be extremely jacked up. Remember a guest is if you're a weekend golfer, a member guest is the coolest thing. I think that you get to play it. It is awesome. There's like rivalries, but like you're just the fun guy and it's fun but like kind of competitive. You're probably chirping each other about like your games, how you feel and going into the weekend. Like it's as much of like a major championship as we can play it.

100%. No, I mean like, yeah, you can't be nervous at all. I mean, yes, you want to like play well and have fun and you don't want to just. that's the, I mean, that's where the handicap matters if they're like playing close to it or not, because you want to win matches, you want to win your play, you want to have some fun, and then, you know, you want to chirp others. Like, somebody told me we should actually make a shirt. It was like, if you have any, if you have ears, I have a chance in a member guest,

which was just an all-time line because, like, they weren't playing well, but they were just on me, just riding me for the nine-hole matches that we play. But I would say until the Barstool Classic, like, that was all anybody had. You had these, like, little member guests that you could do in terms of these, like, amateur tournaments that you could be. Yeah, they're spectacular. No, don't be nervous at all. Just swing freely, grab some Owens, and just turn up the tunes and have a day. They're the best time in the world.

Yeah, the rivalries are funny. Like, they were, like, looking at my, like, I had to send in my handicap, and they're, like, telling me, like, how I get, like, a little amount of strokes off the guys that we want to beat. and like just the chirps were flying and just like the disdain and like the no chance from like the way this guy said no chance he basically just like flick this off and just continued to walk like i just i you know that that goes deeper than than what i saw like at that club so it's it should be pretty fun i mean how like in your head about the short game are they gonna be dude i actually went to oh i actually i went to a short I went to a short range year of the day. Cherry Valley, shout out Maddie. How about this guy, Maddie? So you know Maddie Riggs. Fucking Maddie LaValsi, I believe that's how you say his last name,

is at Cherry Valley. And he helps us with the Barso Classic at Cherry Valley. The guy is the nicest dude in the world. I mean, we talked about that every time. Every time we go, another shirt, another club, whatever you need at the fucking pro shop. He's just like, he is the nicest man in the world. There's no second place.

The second place is very, very far behind. This guy like got, something happened with shoulder. He can't golf this year. He had to get golf, he had to get golf, shoulder surgery. Then, as he's like recovering from shoulder surgery, listen to this. Yeah, listen to this freak accident. He's administering a lesson on the driving range. Somebody takes a drive and the T flies back and hits him right in the cornea.

Shut up. As he's standing there with a fucking probably sling on his arm, he has to go get emergency eye surgery for them to save his eye and vision. It just completely just went into his eye and just whatever happened, right? Scratched it, destroyed it. He's doing well now, but like I text him the other day

and I go, hey, Maddie, like, do you mind if I come by the short range? Like, I just really need to practice. I have never practiced my wedges, as you guys can tell. So let me just like hit a bunch of balls. He goes, yeah, no problem. He just sends me a picture of him with a huge, like bloody eye patch on. He's like, yeah, I'm having a reaction to my surgery.

In a sling. And then he's got Frankie blade and chips all over. Right. Just maybe the worst year. Just a nightmare of a year. So just want to send thoughts and prayers over to my guy, Maddie, who just can't seem to stay healthy on the golf course. That really, that, those stories like that make me want to never leave my apartment.

Like, Maddie is legitimately the nicest dude in the world. Like, that's, we're not joking around. Like, he really is. like just a super nice guy. And the fact that he's like, he's fucked up his shoulder and then a T darts right into his eye. Like, if good things aren't going to happen to Maddie,

good things aren't happening to the rest of us. That's all. That's something we all got to worry about that. T. I mean, there's, T's a flown by my head all the time. Have it?

That is something we got to worry about more. I wouldn't say all the time, but yeah. Are we going to, are we going to, what are we going to do about it? Just wear shades on the course all time? Yeah,

I guess you can't worry about it. It's just bad fucking luck. Just go drive her off the deck on every T-box. That's going to be me from now on, because I'm not even going to risk it. That's scary. I'd love to see... You know what? You get you anywhere.

Yeah? Like, somebody steal your identity on the internet. That would suck. Jeez. But, gentlemen, most credit card companies do a good job protecting you against fraudulent purchases. But what if a scammer files for unemployment in your name, or if your social security, social media, media accounts are hacked or else protection goes well beyond your credit card.

I think it's safe to say we are all literate when it comes to protecting ourselves on the internet. Is that correct? The most important thing, all the things you said there were very important. The most important thing I heard was social media. All the other ones you were like my identity, my credit. The only thing I'm worried about there was my social media. It's true. Well, here's a scary stat.

Every 10 seconds, someone becomes a victim of fraud or identity theft. What's worse, 23% of those people don't get their money back. after the attack. If you think it can never happen to you, you could be their next target. ORA can help.

how to protect ourselves if it weren't for aura okay I'm going to be at Olympic when people pretty much hear this I'm going to be at the US Women's Open for a few days work in the range never been to US Women's Open so very excited and obviously with the way that we saw Olympic versus the way they saw it is going to be interesting for folks. We're going to put the video out of us all playing Olympic, ball in the whole stroke play, you know, competition, just seeing what goes on. There's some amazing shots. There's some horrific shots.

And it's the actual day that we had, so the footage that we got. Right next to Lake Merced, you could see the Golden Gate Bridge in the background. You're, you know, in the hills of San Francisco right there. So I think people are actually going to love this video. of us play an Olympic club. Is that video coming out tonight? Probably coming out tonight. Again, people don't need to realize that we don't work well in the time shift space.

But yeah, I think it's coming out tonight. I'd like to be clear. I want everyone to know that when we played Olympic, that was before I had gone down and seen John Tilleri. That was before I had had my lesson, before I spent a whole weekend with them, you know, reconstructing my swing. So you're going to see the old me, and it's ugly. But I want you to know that I have improved since then,

but you're going to see some bad shots out of your boy because I had a bad day. That was a hard golf course that day. Pre-surgery. Correct. Lower body activation. Right. Is that the biggest swing change, the lower body?

Is that the biggest piece of the swing that's different? No doubt. Yeah. No doubt about it. Yeah, it just is. It's fucking stunning. I can't wait to see those fucking tree trunks activating and using them in your golf swing.

I can't. Moving that pelvis to the target. Right. That's going to be exciting to see. The bottom looks like he's doing the electric slide. It's nuts. It's crazy. Yeah.

It's almost too much, but you need, like, I think it's just, it's just like an over-correction, but also to me, it's a new world. Like, I've never seen that. So every time he does it, I'm like, oh, my God, it looks like, it looked like a Ferrari driving around a turn at like 150 miles an hour. I never seen anything like it. Right. So, yeah. No. In the Olympic video, people will not see it.

But the Breaking 100 videos are going to start coming out soon, especially when this comes out. So people are going to see it. Next week. It's technically this week. Oh, it's coming out this week. There we go. Producer Jake Bass, there we go. So it's going to come out this week.

So people who want to see that Ferrari move, they're going to be able to see it. So there you go. I went with Ferrari there because I've been watching F1 Drive to Survive. What a show. Just an all-time show. Oof, is that good? I don't know how many sports shows are better. I really don't know if you can get in the mix like they do with the language, the drama.

I mean, it'd be like following around the New York Yankees and just being in the locker room and like in the dugout as they play like a championship. Like the fact that they are with the best biggest names, most the most money and they're getting all this drama is crazy to me. And I am now a Formula One fan. I fucking love it. Sam. Sam, it's like Hard Knocks. Like the first football ones that came out of hard guys. That's what it is.

Just forgot about Hard Knocks. Right. Totally. But then they're doing other shows on like the most revolutionary sports documentary series ever. But but like it sounds like, sorry to cut you off Lurch, but it's it sounded like with this, it's like like hard knocks it was definitely they got about as much as you can get. It sounds like the F1 guys or even like they put it like took it up a notch even. I haven't watched it. But I've heard it's like even more.

more inside the locker room. Well, it's great because it's like the whole NFL. Like they're doing, like it'd be them doing all the teams. So they bounce around from the Ferrari team to the Aston Martin team over the Red Bull team. And so you get not only the members of that team, but how much distaste they have for others. And then I think more than anything, it opens your eyes to what is actually like the team itself in F1. And how there's like a GM. then there's like basically a driving team per driver like there's just a lot of things that

i really had no idea about and then the cars are just wildly impressive and cool they're just the coolest like i'm not a car guy at all as long as you get from a to b don't care but these things make me interested in just how fast they go how they've engineered those engines to not burn through all the fuel while going at those speeds like they never refill they never refuel when they go into the pit the pit stop. It's just the, it's just the tires. So that that fuel, and they need to have enough fuel at the end or else they'll get docked time. It's, it is a fucking ridiculous sport. And the rivalries between teammates, like, Red Bull, and the first season, like Red Bull, those guys were just, like, crashing. I just finished the first season. So those guys are just crashing into each other. Like, it was like, do they, do they not care about each other's, like, success? Like, they actually wanted to kill each other. It was nuts. So, um, they're still still filming here, right?

Like I- Like Ricardo is like the best guy of the world when you when he leaves that for stopping. Yeah. This pretty boy diva. And like I left that season hating him. And then whoever was just actually on PMT, um, that is the head of the Red Bull team.

I just like I don't like him either. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was a great show. I'm sure a lot of listeners are agreeing with like how good that show is. It's, it's really top notch. It is.

I've heard good things. I haven't watched the Eddie. either. Yeah. So we mentioned off the top the latest, you know, with Bryson and Brooks, they've been chirping. We're doing, you know, we're the day after basically they were chirping each other on Twitter. Dave invited Bryce and the caddy for him against Brooks Kepka. Frankie, how do you feel about that? Yeah, I got a lot of messages about that on Twitter, but like, you know, Dave and I talk, like, Dave and I talk all the time. And we thought like that would be a great move to, like have Bryson a part of the team, right?

Like, I will take that all day. And whether it's he's on the bag or he's going to help with the bag, like I'm still going to be part of the team Portnoy winning that match. And I'll say this, like, we don't know what's going to come out. And then I'm sure nothing will come out by the time this podcast comes out. But I wouldn't be shocked if like Bryson has some involvement in this. Like I do think at some level that guy gets like his involvement in this. robbery. I think when he responded on Twitter last night saying, like, I'm just in your head.

I think that showed that he is willing to kind of like do this social media engagement now. I really did think there was a time where he was just going to let it go and just let Brooks kind of bodybag him and punch him and be the asshole. And Bryson was going to be like the nice guy and kind of kill him with kindness. But that's not happening. I think that he's going to, I think this is going to be a heavyweight bout. And I'm excited for that. Yeah. If you had asked me two days ago, do I think Bryson will get involved in any of this? I would have said no, but his activity on Twitter and Instagram, because he put up another story of, like, rent-free on Instagram, I think he's absolutely, it's on the table, for sure.

It would be amazing if he was somehow involved in the Brooks Dave match. That would make that the biggest thing ever. That would be huge. Like, I can't even, yeah, it's hard to wrap my head around how large that would be. It's also very Barstool that somehow Barstool and in particular Dave is just right in the middle of it. He's had this Brooks match planned for, I mean, they've been going back and forth about it for about a month or month and a half now. And now he is just smack dab in the middle of the biggest sports rivalry going. It is just incredible.

It's amazing. It's Dave sold his soul to the devil. That's just everything breaks Barstool's way. You're right. That something that has been worked out that had nothing. to do with Bryson de Shambo months ago has vaulted Dave right into the heart of what everyone is talking about in sports right now, which is Bryson and Brooks despising each other to the point where like Brooks is just tweeting like about Dave. Like you don't know if his tweet's going to be

about Dave or about Bryson and it's about both and they're all together and it's like it's insanity. So, so yeah, I think like if they can get Bryson involved in this, if you guys can get Bryson involved. That would be, that would be mega. Like, that would be huge. And I think, when's the plan for doing this? It sounds like late, maybe like next month or a couple months, Frankie?

Yeah, so I think they're looking at the, from what I can see, they're looking at the schedule. It could be, I mean, you got big tournaments coming up for Brooks. You got US Open, you've got the PGA Tour championship that he's going to want to be a part of,

obviously. So, like, I'm thinking maybe like September, October. I don't know that it's going to be next month, but I could be wrong also. Like this thing, this thing is moving and jive in and it's like a fucking ocean right now. Like you don't know where the tide's going to move. It's crazy.

Yeah, it is also. It's nuts. Like, I was thinking it's not like Brooks's some like slub out on tour who it's like, yeah, I mean, gearing up for that, but the Dave match was big. He was in the final group of a major championship a few days ago

and was the favorite to win a major. championship. And the big, a lot of the things surrounding him is that he is not healthy. He's got a bad knee. He can't lean down and read puts and everybody saw the picture from the master. So it's like, he's juggling a lot of things. He's got big tournaments. He's got his knee is hurt. And then he's got this match with Dave Portnoy, you know, it's all just sort of happening. And he's, yeah, I'll be curious to see when the actual date is. I mean, Dave is going to get killed, right? Is that how we feel? I've gone back and forth on like what we have to worry about. And I don't think that, I think you just got to worry about Dave's game, right?

Like, I don't know that you have to worry about what Brooks is going to shoot. I don't think he's going to play that well lefty. I've, we've gotten intel that this guy stinks lefty. He puts up videos of him hitting, like, a wedge shot. It took him 15 shots to get that ball in the air. Like, it's not, he's, I just don't think,

now, he may not have taken 15 shots. I may have been me just being fucking whatever. It's, like, dramatic. But, but, like, you know what I mean? Like, that wasn't his first attempt that hitting that, that shot. He's only putting out the best stuff. That drive, that, like, famous drive that he hit, like, that was not the first time he did that. And also, like, just didn't even go straight.

It was on another part of the planet. So, you know, this guy, this guy is not as good as we think, Lefty. I think he's kind of, like, bamboozled and swindled and gotten all of our brains kind of messed up about how good he is Lefty. Right, because it's like me putting that bunker shot out from Georgia where people are like, oh, you're just a really good golf. now when we didn't put out any of the clips of me chunking and scolding them out of the bunker. But what, like, has you, have you and Dave talked about a plan to sort of practice or anything? Because you are right that I wouldn't even worry about what Brooks is going to shoot and you got to just focus on getting Dave score as low as humanly possible.

I think if Dave breaks 100, he wins the match. I think it's agree with that. I think like the line is like 93 or 4 that if he breaks that, he wins the match. No, I think I'm with Frankie. I think it's closer to 100. Yeah. Dude, left handed like,

dude, he's going to spray the ball everywhere. If we play it like a somewhat of a nice venue, he's going to be just as, it's going to be just as much of a risk for him to find himself in ridiculous trouble, just as Dave would find him. But like Brooks will be all over the place and big numbers could come up. Like,

it's very, very even. Yeah, when like Ricky and JT played their left, match on Instagram last year. They both shot like right around 100, right? And that was under like no pressure. Like who knows like what was really going on.

Whereas like on camera under pressure playing left handed, like unless Brooks is, like he, I'm with Frank. It's been selective, selective like showcasing of his game. That's only the best shots. But he could be horrible left hand. I mean, Dave's horrible too. We could do the same thing. Dave. I could go to a range with him and

like film the one drive that he absolutely piped right down the middle. I could film him hitting like a bunker shot into a hole like on a short range and just be like we're coming Brooks and everyone'd be like holy fuck but that's just what Brooks did. You know what I mean? It probably took him all day to get that swing. Now was it a good swing? Sure

but it probably went on the other hole so I don't care. That's you got to keep it straight baby. You just can't have Dave put up a 115-120. Then we're in then it's just I think Brooks is going to shoot better than that. Well, that's a big benefit of it being in a couple months. If it is in a couple months, Dave, we'll have time to practice, you know, really get it dialed in. Who knows, like,

how he's going to prepare. Maybe we get people involved in that also. Like, there's a lot of opportunity for this to be a big thing. The hype is very, very real. It's going to be, it's very funny that Brooks has found himself in two, really two big feuds and matches, right? Like, the next time he plays Bryson's the biggest thing in the world. And then, and when he plays Dave, it's the biggest thing in the world. So good on Brooks. his little pip. I mean, the pip is real. Pip's working.

Abraham Amher was out. J.T. was out. Like, all these guys were talking about it and chiming in, obviously, Phil. Like, it's real. And then Bryson even came back. Did you guys see Bryson came at Brady with his deflated footballs in the AFC championship? That was maybe the worst tweet of all time.

Right, but like. That was really bad. Like, I knew it was going to happen eventually. Like, it's like that it was a coach, Dennis Green, is that his name? He is who he thought he was. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, I thought the rent-free response to Brooks was good enough.

Like, that was kind of where everybody was leaning. So that felt like a layup. Like, all right, do that. But then he over-extended himself with the Brady one because it was just, it was no good. Yeah. You know? Maybe he didn't have anything back to Brooks, because Brooks came back at him with the Brooks-y video, which is just like, yeah, I own a piece of your brain, too,

because that pissed you off to know. no one and that's another good laugh and then he went at brady because maybe he was just he had nothing in the you know nothing in the tank to fire back at brooks i don't know but it was interesting i agree that tweet wasn't great but he still threw it out there brooks is just better at social than bryce's like that so he's just going to lose every time like no matter even if he's better or or on the right side of things or he's just going to lose online because he's he's way worse at so for me. Right.

Quarterbacks have been beaten geeks at these like public interactions for decades now. Yeah. I like that Bryson is getting involved on Twitter and Instagram, but less is definitely more with him, where it's like take your shot, let people know you're involved that you're not just going to take all this shit from Brooks. But don't start having like people Photoshop, Tom Brady deflate gate balls. Like, that's not where you're going to live. That's not going to work. No, and he, like, the, I would say for both of them, the more like replies that you get into,

like the multiple replies on the same thread, it's like each one loses its, like, it's, the returns. The returns. Yeah, diminishing returns. Law diminishing returns. It's like, if it's a fresh tweet that's got a lot more staying power, when you're down in the fifth reply of a chance, it's like, bro, just hit. him with one and get on there. You can't be deep in the reply game on that. So, so yeah, he's going to, he's going to kind of lose that every time. But yeah, we're,

somehow, martial sports day, Frankie, right in the middle of this feud. It'll be, it'll be fun to see how it shakes down. And hopefully the USJ does not put them together in, you know, in their featured groupings at the U.S. Open next month in June. I think we're all pulling for that. We made some very good points in the last show that, like, just don't, like it needs to happen naturally and build up and have these cool moments around a punting green in a range where all that tension builds up and then it gets settled in contention at a tournament might be in a couple months might be in a year but it does get settled in that environment not in some fabricated forced grouping where really it doesn't matter what they shoot

right so much is going to play out in these in this next week like frankie could be alive dead frustrated like he could be looking you know as the series goes together could be two two i don't know whatever the game shakes out to be you could be down three zero and just not even on this podcast anymore um and then also everything that plays out on social media how fast that changes like we talk about we really want to see brooks and brooksie um in a match down the road together um in like a major but you know maybe it plays out the first time we see them is on dave's bag playing his lefty match, which would be insane. And so there's just so much social media to take place between then and the next time we actually record due to Memorial Day weekend.

Bryson on Dave's bag would be bigger than anything you could possibly think of. Right. Yeah. Do you think that tandem would work? Like, Bryson on Dave's bag, Bryson's telling him distances, numbers. Like, can he have fun with Portnoy? Or does Portnoy eventually just become friendly with Brooks on the other side? No, because Dave, Dave doesn't want to be friends.

Dave wants to win. So, like, I think in those, like, when he did Mulligan challenge and stuff, he wasn't, like, having fun with the USDA officials and stuff. He was like, no, you guys don't understand the fucking rules. I get unlimited Mulligan's. And that's, so it's, I think, I actually think Bryson would help him a lot. because Bryson would be quickly trying to learn about Dave's game and then applying his best knowledge to Dave's game

from like a data analytical standpoint. I don't think Bryson can, like he told us when we asked him do a scramble and play golf with us where he's like, no, I don't really like plague off. Like it's like an experiment basically when I'd play off. Like that's the only way that I'd play. And I think he's the same way with Dave. I don't think he'd be out there like, oh yeah, I'm getting pit points. this is funny.

I think he immediately, like he did with Frankie on the range, where he's like, he was frustrated with Frankie on the range. Like, no, no, do like this. Think about this because he's trying to help him. I think he would just be 100% locked in on helping Dave. And I think that Dave would like that. And if not, that dynamic would be amazing. Just watching, like, Bryson trying to throw numbers at Dave, and Dave's like,

I don't understand a word. You're saying, I'm just going to try and get this ball in this hole. Right. Because Dave doesn't know how far as deed iron goes. imagine. No clue. So, I mean, I don't know what sort of analytics there. Bryson's going off but he's going, it's a field thing. I know Dave's super competitive. He also, I don't know if he plays in anything where he doesn't like firmly believe that he's going to win and there's some sort of advantage on his side. Like, um, so I, yeah, the dynamic, it would either way,

it's like, must watch. If that were to happen, Frankie, I'm sure you would be part of the team in somewhere that you'd probably still be carrying. in the bag and Bryson might just be the coach of it. Who knows how that would work? But, I mean, it would be spectacular. I mean, at Mulligan Challenge, Dave would just step up to a part three. It'd be like, hit a six iron. And if it went 30 yards over, he'd be like, all right, it might be a seven.

And that you just, that's literally how he figured out his distances. Remember at Shinnock when he won at Shinnock? There was one hole, what's that one that's like kind of by the road? and the one that goes like uphill and he just, he was in between a seven and an eight, but the seven was a different club because I gave him my set and didn't have a seven iron.

I broke it. I broke it on like a tree limb like that week prior. So we gave him another seven. And like the difference between the two clubs was like drastic, like the quality. And like his seven just wasn't close to the eight. Like it was a very big gap. And we weren't getting it.

Like we couldn't figure out. Like the seven would go 165 yards and the eight would go 140 or something. You know what I mean? Like there was no, we couldn't get 150. Like we just couldn't get there no matter how hard we tried. It took about like 35 to 40 swings. It was insane. Yeah, on the 11th hole, I think, at Chinatcock.

Yeah. Where they all called, oh, it's the shortest part five on Long Island, you know. And that was the whole Dave just couldn't hit the green. How many balls did he have like when he started each hole? because I know like Zah and them would scramble and pick him up which was like a long time video. I had a bib 10 or something. I went out and bought all the golf balls you could find like refurbished ones. You know those bags are just refurbished golf balls?

So I had like three of those and then I bought one of those picker up or one things that you know that you have. Shag bags. Shag bags. Yeah, shag bags. And dude, I always had like 30 to 40 balls in my little catty bib thing. Like it just was constantly just filled with golf balls. And we went through them. Well, we were just talking about distances, which are important in golf.

We got to talk about the wingman, which is the world's first golf speaker featuring audible GPS distance and the premium sound quality so you can enjoy your favorite tunes on the course. And boom, you just hit a button. Fellas, you just hit this little button and it just gives you center, front, back of the green. You sync it up to the Bushnell app. It gives you the picture of the entire hole. where all the trouble is, you know, which way it goes, where the fairway goes, how far it is. It's just awesome.

So you can go to bushdoggolf.com slash four. Order your wingman golf speaker today. Sorry, I think my internet got out there. But we talked on the last show that Frankie takes it into the bathroom when he showers. I did that this morning. And I listen to music. And it's fantastic. That speaker is A plus, man.

Dude, they're not fucking around with that speaker. Seriously. They didn't just do it to be like, oh, we have a speaker that's going to. No, it's like an awesome speaker that jams and it's got GPS on it. It's insane that they, it's actually crazy somebody can come up with this beforehand because it's a no-brainer of an idea. Yeah, I'm just glad that they went so hard on the quality of the music. They could have kind of just threw this thing together because of how cool the technology is that it can switch from music to distances with the click of a finger. But they really did want to make, they really wanted to make the quality of the music, you know,

a top priority, it seems, because it's a fucking great speaker. The sound quality is fantastic. The bass is bumping. It goes as loud as anything. I mean, the thing can bump. So, yeah, it's a great product. I know when we have great products that we're able to push and, like, tell people about, because I genuinely want to give it to, like, friends and family and stuff.

Like, I've given a wingman, like, I've given as a gift, the wingman. And that's, like, I wouldn't do that. with things that I don't think are like the coolest product in the world. You know what I mean? Like we have so many products that we have access to. And like the wingman was like the first thing I wanted to give somebody. I was like when I got it. Like I was like, holy shit, look at this thing.

This is like the coolest piece of technology you're going to have on a golf course. You know, I think my favorite thing is just the metal app like the magnetmasp. I think like it's amazing that nobody like this is the only speaker that you can just anything that's metal. You just slap it on there. It's definitely lurchy. It's fun. It's actually genuinely fun to do.

Right, because it's just like, I was just in my house, fireplace, but then there's this, like, kind of metal structure around it. I just slap that thing in the living room

the other day and play tunes off it. It's just sitting right. I love it. It's also, like, Bushnellgolf.com slash 4, but it's also like, when you're a kid and you play,

you learn about, like, in science class, you learn about, like, positive and negative and magnet, it's fun to just play with magnets. And now you have a giant one

that's a fucking GPS speaker. You're just like, boys, Watch this. Slap onto the side of the car. It's awesome. It's just a great time. I don't want to get you into magnets, but magnets or something.

They're just. Magists. It's magic. You know? Yeah. No, it is. You know what I mean? Like, what is that?

Yeah, it's magic. No, you're right. It's pure magic. Why do those pieces, why do those pieces of metal have that sort of charge in that that can just, you know, suck on to each other. Does it have anything to do with the moon? Hmm. Ooh.

Does the moon have any effect on those magnets? Back and out. No, I'm going to say no, but there's, like, what, north and south on magnets? I believe you're thinking of tides, Frankie. That has to do with gravity. Oh, fuck. But gravity has to do with the moon.

And probably has to do something to do with magnets. Everything's connected. The magnet is. PINETIC pull has to do something. There's got to be something that is generating that pull. I don't know, man. It is magic. It's, fuck.

I don't even want to, yeah. I don't think people want to hear me get started on that. Think about how crazy gravity is, by the way. Like, if you had told somebody before they really figured out gravity and science and all that bullshit. Oh, boy. That's your Isaac Newton. Two, yes. Two giant balls of mass just pull at each other from millions of things.

of miles away, that they just legitimately yank at each other with no visible notice of that force, right? It just happens. Gravity, we just accept gravity as this, it's literally the force from Star Wars. Like, they're using the force against each other to just fly through space, pulling at each other, and all of the things in space do that all of the time. To the point where if I just drop something right now, like the middle of the earth just yanks that towards the ground. Like that is crazy. Yeah, we're on a flying planet.

Think about if you'd fall. You didn't actually fall. You didn't fall. Something is yanking you towards the middle of the earth at all moments. Right. The realization of that is haunting because you just think it falls. But then you come to find out that something is pulling you and it's not like that everywhere else. fact, this is one of the few places

in the galaxy in the known universe where this gravity thing exists. It's weird. There's a place in Hawaii called the Keck, I think it's called, and it's a telescope. And this is my official

call, and I'm not going to get into this, right? Because I think sometimes, whatever. Sounds like you're going to get into it. You can't help yourself. It's like... I just want to go to it. And I don't know, this podcast reaches a lot of people in different in different in different areas of the world in what's the word I'm looking for ways of life yeah but like like different jobs different spaces I guess sectors industries industries different industries like do we have vertical verticals yeah is does this podcast go into the if I say I want to go to the keck which is at the top of a mountain in Hawaii.

And I want to see what Joe Rogan saw, where he went there at night. And he said that it felt like he was on a rock that was flying through space because he was one with like space up there. Like legitimate, looked up with his bare naked eyes and felt like they were flying through the galaxy. I want to experience that. Now, I don't think that's open to everyone. I think when the Keck gets going, it's at night.

time. So like the observers, anyone that goes to this telescope can't see it at night. They usually come back down the mountain. You need like four-wheel drive. You need people to be able to drive you down. It's like a very dangerous drive up and down. I want to be able to experience that. Now, do you think that's ever going to happen? Or you think I'm going to die on this earth probably during this Islander's Boston series without ever seeing that? Because that's something I find very interesting and like is now my life goal. I couldn't help it every time I just kept thinking of you saying cuck every time. You know what?

Being like, I want to go to the cuck. And I was like, well, this is a preposterous thing. So then I got distracted because I didn't want to start laughing during your little spiel. I think you could get there. Yeah. I also, there's really good golf in Hawaii. So we could, in theory, do a nice little travel episode and go out to Hawaii, play golf and go to the cuck thing and check out the stars.

You don't got to yank my chain there, man. Boy, will that send ripples across the Barstle universe? Four play boys heading to Hawaii to get laid. I think, Frankie, you and I've had this conversation. Hawaii is the one place in the world because we've been everywhere. We've been to Australia. Like, we've been about as far away as you can go. But if you say to the company at large, hey, we're going to go to Hawaii, people are going

to be like, well, now hold on a second. What are you doing? We can't go to Hawaii. Right, we can't. Like, we, Riggs, you and I early on, we went through the boondoggle phase, the boondoggle boys. phase. I think that comes right back around if we say we're going to Hawaii. I think Dave is like, stay away from Hawaii, man.

Hawaii in that, in that vein, Hawaii's got kind of a bad rap, right? Like they, when you say that word, people immediately get jealous, they get angry. There's like this, there's this thought about like, oh, look at this guy. Like, why can't Hawaii

just be one of those places that you just go to? Why does it have to be this thing? Like, going to Hawaii is almost embarrassing. That's sound nice. You know what I mean? It's so nice that it's embarrassing to tell people that you want to go there. Yeah, it's your belittling everyone else can you say.

Yeah. I'm going to Hawaii. It's like, oh, okay. Oh, all right. Right. Nobody really had an issue with us going to Australia, which is much further than Hawaii. And like, but if we say Hawaii, it's not a distance thing. No, it's just, it's just too beautiful. Yeah, you can't do anything but just relax in Hawaii.

you're not working. Like, don't tell me you're going to Hawaii and going to be doing anything. No real work. No real work has been done in Hawaii. Our jobs are already huge. I disagree with that, dude. Like, we would go to Hawaii. We'd go in some city. Like,

we'd be in a hotel. We'd, like, wake up early, it'd be, like, tiring. We'd, like, drive to a golf course. We'd play golf. Like, we'd do a million things of drones, and we'd interview people, and, like, we'd be home at night. We'd get dinner. like dominoes and then we'd go back to our hotel room like it's like we're laying on the beach like when

you go to the hawaii it's not all relaxing right you got to like drive places you got to walk places you were just talking about how it's being perceived and that's the way we were talking about it and then you were giving no i know but i you know but you're saying i thought lurch was saying that like you like Hawaii i thought you were giving into like the perception that like when you go to Hawaii oh just like like when you say you're going to go there it would be impossible for your workers. Right. You're actually going to make content from Hawaii.

Like, no, you're going to just, like, be in the mountains of this, like, Jurassic Park style life. Yes. It was funny that the first part of your Hawaii explanation was a vacation. You were like, we're going to wake up. We're going to go play golf on a golf course in Hawaii. It's like, that's what people do on vacation in Hawaii. But it is hard.

It's a really hard sell. I thought Lurch was giving into the perception that you go to Hawaii and you end up, when you get off the plane, your feet sink into sand and you're on some. perfect like a beach chair and someone brings over like a pineapple filled with tequila and you're like but like i honestly think that that's not what happens brother i've been to hawaii and it's just like that oh man hawaiian so sweet you get off the plane they put the lay on you there's people playing music like it's oh shit there's a reason it has the perception for being the greatest place in the world and it's because that's what it is but we should go we got we got to go to

man. I think we just rip the Band-Aid off and just fucking do it. I think you just go. I'll also say, if we get away with going to Hawaii, boys, like, we can go anywhere.

That's a good point. Why don't we go see those, isn't there like, isn't there a big, like, Navy base out there or, like, Air Force one? Like, don't they have a,

isn't, like, the best, like, Army or Navy golf course in Hawaii? There's a bunch of Navy. A bunch of Navy courses out there. But, but, yeah, I think, imagine them not respecting the troops for us to not go to a while.

Exactly. We tie it to the troops. You see where I'm wrong with here, guys? Yeah, come on. Hello? You don't support the troops? What are we doing here? I mean, if we are ever going to present this to someone who is going to say yes or no to this,

we got to have all our ducks in a row. We got to have a plan ready to go because people are going to ask questions. You know what I hope they hand me when I get off the plane? Truly hard seltzer. That's what I'm looking for, which, you know, Barstool Classic is. in full swing right now. We're done like 10 of these puppies and we're only halfway, not even halfway through it.

But they're fun because we drink truly at all these things. They got 16 refreshing styles over it, truly hard seltzer. It's great for being out on the golf course. Maybe you're at a bar. Maybe you're on the beach like we just spoke about. They've got delicious flavors, 5% ABV, so you know you're going to have a good time.

And they're just, like I said, refreshing. They're not like a slug to get through. They're just genuinely refreshing and they've got a bunch of different flavors that you can experiment with. Have yourself a good time. One of the very first shelters to go big with Barstool. They've been huge with us in the Barstool Classic for three years now. Came on as the title sponsor. So all those folks, they get to go out there and do, you know, the member guests across the country that we just talked about earlier.

That's because of truly. That's because they supported it. They like to make sure people are having fun, having a good time, getting delicious, refreshing things. they're innovative, right? Like it'd be easy to just be like, oh yeah, here's the same, you know, alcoholic drinks that people have had for centuries. Good luck with that.

No, they came out and came up with a bunch of the best, truly, you know, seltzer flavors that you could possibly have. And they're great for the golf course. They're great for a bar. They're great for a back patio. They're great for, you know, maybe a yard. It's kind of a memorial.

You're coming off Memorial Day weekend. Now we're into the summer swing. I feel like little barbecues are great right now, a little backyard hang. Truly's perfect for that. So a big thanks to truly hard seltz. All right. We also have some from the galleries to get to, ladies and gentlemen.

So, ForPlay at Barshal'sports.com, email us, title it from the gallery, keep it short, so that I'll read it. If I open it and it's a little, it's a bit long, I just go to the next one. So keep them short. That's for Play at Barstoresworts.com. That's the email address. Ed says, I love the travel series videos, but I have a burning question. In the video intro, when the golf ball is flying around the earth, that wishing wind sound, That has to be Frankie puckering up his whistle lips and blowing into a mic, right?

Oh. Jesus. No, it's not. But I may have to do that now. The next one that comes out, it may be my puckering lips blowing wind into the mic. I actually wasn't sure. So I put it in there. Because I know you've like, you score shit and stuff with our videos.

So I didn't think it would be that crazy. For the next behind the greens, and I don't know if I can pull it off for this next one, the Torrey Pines. I was thinking about legitimately scoring, like, like, like, pulling out a keyboard. Yes. And like, like, with Robbie Fox and PFT and just fucking, like, figuring out how to, because I always have this idea of what I want the sound to be. And I can never just, I can never quite find the sound on like APM or whatever library we have. And I just wanted to fucking do it. I think like it's a little bit easier than making a song, right?

Like you have to like, I mean, obviously super difficult, but like a lot of it's like bass and and like almost like a choir noise. You know what I mean? I mean, I'm very naive and acting like it's the easiest like I'm fucking John Williams over here. But I want to try it one of these days. I feel like I need to practice a little bit. If you do that, we need to make a video because you see the videos of John Williams when he's making a score for a movie and he's got these full orchestras and it's very dramatic. and he's telling people what to do. Like you doing that to Robbie and PFT and whatever other like, you know, artists you get.

Like that would be a very funny video. But I think you should do that because you, I've been when you were doing behind the greens, one of the episodes like you just go through music and music and music, stuff you can't find when you know what you want. So it'd probably be easier just to make the music yourself. And I say easier is all relative because I'm sure it's very, very difficult. But I would at least, you should at least try it. It'd be awesome.

It would be super amateur. So I probably won't end up doing it. but I would like to maybe like, you know, collab with someone and we can do it on our own. I don't know. Someone reach out to me if you're like a score. That'd be pretty cool. The other thing,

when we look for music, it's pretty funny. Like, you have to type in words that are, like, or feelings. Like, whatever you're kind of looking at,

you'll, you'll type in a feeling. Um, and music will be in a library based off of that feeling. So like, whenever like, Trent's in a bunker or something or for, like,

I'll type in like, pathetic or like, or like, jolly and it's like do-dum do-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d- it's just so fucking funny when you find that song

based off the word like you just look at the screen and be like what is this moment and then you type it in and see if you could find the music that correlates very funny when Trent comes on the screen because we get to get creative

because sometimes it's like cute it's like you know like Trent's fucking getting a coffee it's like so you type in like cute or like you know babyish it's it's very funny

It's funny. But those are not your puckered lips at the beginning of the travel season? No. Okay. Those are not. Okay. Zach says, big thanks to all you do from Ontario.

You guys are giving us our golf fix while we are not allowed to play up here, which is crazy, by the way. I think as of like a couple days ago, they were allowed to play golf. And finally back? That was one of the most amazing things. We just began this show, talking about how, like, with Borrellys and hockey games and different events that are just like back.

Golf is the safest thing. I mean, that's the reason golf booming is because it remained open pretty much everywhere because it's four people, max, that are playing a golf course that's dozens of acres, if not hundreds of acres, and most of the time you're hundreds of yards apart from each other anyways for the entire day and you're outside. And Ontario just wouldn't allow people to play golf. People were sitting in videos, pictures of like, you know, supermarkets or like market squares where people were packed in there

that they're allowed to do, but they couldn't go to a fucking golf course. It was a crazy town. But anyways, I'm glad that they have reopened. Zach says, big thanks how you do. In regards to Brooke Henderson, which we talked about Brooke Henderson maybe a month ago, and I kind of mentioned that I heard she's just crazy big in Canada.

He said her fans are called the Brooks Brigade. It's a whole thing here. And a bunch of people email this being like, dude, in Canada, Brooke Henderson is fucking. massive. Like, she's just a mega star. And apparently her fans are called Brooks Brigade. Brooks Brigade, I like that.

Mm-hmm. Or a band of brothers that are all Brooks fans. You can call Brooks Brothers. Brooks Brothers. Yes. Yes. That's pretty good. Brooks Brigade is better. It is, but I'm just saying within the brigade. Within the

brigade, you could be Brooks Brothers. Yeah, you could have a little sub ones. Yes. subcategories. Mike says, would the four-man scramble team playing as an alternate shot round break 100? So basically all four of us alternating every single shot in order.

A great video. Would we break 100? 100%. I think so too. Yes. I think we would. I think we definitely would. I think we do much better than we think. It would be an all-time video, though, because the

pressure you would feel. You're like, this is all we got. So just hit a good ball here somehow. Dude, the T-shots would be intense, man. Like, they'd be intense. When the boys are buzzing, we had a couple good holes, then you step up, there's trouble all over the place. You just spray one into the trouble, and everyone,

like, we're not the group either. That'd be like, oh, that's fine, man. Like, everybody would literally everybody would just kind of be quiet and muttering and being like, Jesus, what the fuck? It'd be kind of a nightmare. We should do that. It would be a great video. Just see what we shoot as a group.

Alternate shot, all four of us. See what the fuck we shoot. I'd be very curious. Who takes the first T shot, Trent? Yeah. I think it's just the same order as we do our like four-man scrambles. Just like keep the order. Trent always finds the first fairway.

We couldn't get off to a hot start. He hits a good one. I hit a good iron and green. Frankie Puts. Off we go. 30 on one. And then I think you have to do alternate shot. We'd have to do like each person has a designated T shot, right?

Like you wouldn't just go. Yeah. So then like the second hole Lurge with T off, third hole, Frankie T, off, fourth hole I'll have T off. And then you just go back, right? And then you just keep going to that order. Yeah, I guess you'd have to do something like that. But I mean, we would make bogies and stuff. So it would naturally flop.

Like, so like it wouldn't be consistent on the T. It's not, I don't know. Well, no, that's what I'm saying, though. I'm saying I think it is consistent on the T. I think you have to keep that in alternate shot. Okay. Yeah. That works. Because I think the rule is, like, one guy tees off on an odd holes, one guy tees off and even holes, no matter what happens on the previous hole, right? Yeah. Right. So I think it's like on the scorecard, you just write like on each one, T, F, right, whatever. And you just, that's our hole.

Yeah, that's great. No, that'd be an all-time video. That'd be fun, man. That'd be very fun. I think we would do it. I think we'd post a pretty decent score, like better than people think. What do you think we break 90s? Do you think we break 90 or no? I mean, there's going to be a time where Frankie has a wedge in the stance. He throws it a mile into Neverland. We got to figure out a way if you come back from that. Right, but if Rakes is after me, he should be able to...

Briggs just puts it on the green. Right. Like in my real game... Depends how bad your fucking... Depends how bad your wedge shot. Right, but in my real game, like, I bladed it over and then I don't get on the next time. So, like, my double bogey now is hopefully a bogey,

and we're just okay. we go on and we're on the next hole. We got to do that. I think we break 90. Yeah, I think we might too. Like I was going to say, we could get lucky where, like, each person, like, where our score actually would improve on any individual's score because it happened to be where the best quality was, like, that guy just to hit a bunch of those shots. Like, we could get lucky in that way where, like, if the worst part of my game is my iron play, why, like, all day I just never have.

had to really hit any iron shots. And like I actually shot a better, you know, not better, but like close enough to my real score because it was handicapped by the people that are better at those shots. Right. I mean, either way, it's just an all-time video. It's just that's a video that makes sense and that's a video that we should do. And at some point, well, we're not factoring, but what absolutely happened is we'd all get mad at each other.

And then we, and like, the vibes get super low. And like, it's like, it starts to be like, this guy can't hit these fucking shots. and then we're cruising to triple digits because the morale is so low. So you've got to factor that in. Also, like, somebody's going to hit a drive off the map. And now we're just re-team. And now they're just the pressure just considerably mounts.

Where it's like, dude, who is going to put this thing in place? We're like, we just knocked off one of our alternate shots and we haven't moved. We're just on, we're in the same spot. Right. At some point we're going to be hitting five. off a T-box and people are going to be real mad. That's it.

I would love the shot of like, T-box, you have to walk like 75 yards back to, so the other three just don't go back for that T-shot. Potentially, the guy hits it off the map. So now that guy's going to walk over there. Dude, we should do it, like, at the end of the last day of one of these six-day, like, content trips that we do, and we all fucking hate each other and are so sick of each other at the end of it. If we did that, if we did.

the alternate shot. Oh, man. We'll work it into one of these trips, because that would be, that'd be a really good video. It's a really good idea. That is a good idea. McCain Quick cook fries

are a new fry innovation that allows you to cook fries in half the time of traditional McCain fries. Trent Lurch, you guys like fries? I fucking love fries. In a very unhealthy way. Yeah, yeah.

Dude, Trent loves fries. Now why are you saying that? Well, we were in South Carolina and you, you love French fries. I do. That place where we had really good French fries, I will say. You never really seen anything like that. Love them. I'm a picker. When we do it, like, I'm just going to pick it fries. I love I'll eat any kind of fries you put in front of me. Well, let me tell you about McCain quick-cooked fries. They cook them longer so that you do not have to. What that means is it's Less cook time for you, more time to do all kinds of other stuff. You don't want to be cooking all day.

That's my biggest obstacle, basically, to cooking is how long it takes, the process. I don't want to go through that. I just want to hit a button a lot of times and have food just arrive. Well, McCain has figured it out, again, where they cook them longer. All you've got to do, bake them in the oven for a healthier alternative. If you air fry, they're ready in six to eight minutes. In the oven, they're ready in just 10 minutes. Imagine that, Trent.

Six to eight minutes, my friend, you've got delicious French fries. That sounds perfect. Seriously. Do yourself a favor. Check out McCain's quick-cook fries. Go check out their website. They pair phenomenally, obviously, with ketchup, salsa, melted cheese, ranch, any of your other favorite dips. And it's just a very good snack, appetizer, side dish.

You understand which French fries are, but you do not understand how well McCain's does them. So do yourself a favor once again. Check out their website. Go to McCains. Get their quick-cooked fries. Enjoy your life. Enjoy spending more time doing other things than cooking French fries all day long because they cook them longer so that you do not have to.

Anthony says, would you rather win all three other major championships or win the Masters once? All three others. Just because they're nothing to sneeze at. We've done this before where it's like, would you rather? whether win 20 PGA tour or like 10 PGA tour events or one masters and like you just you take the major all day long um this is like I mean imagine just doing what Phil did and then going out and doing like then when in a US open and then going over to fucking Europe and winning the open like you're just dominating the game of golf like I don't know you're just a super major champ is yeah

you're like bigger than the game at that point uh you you you you dominate all over the world too like just different styles of golf you're just sick the question i think needs more too it's like all right so you win those that just in a silo and you don't play any other tournaments like but you do you get everything that comes along with winning those three majors i think it would be more difficult because then you're going to be playing in the masters like if you can't break 80 at augusta then it would maybe change my stance on where i would sit but i'm certainly on the major win side. I think

instinctively that's going to be everybody's answer, but then imagine saying no to winning the Masters, right? Like you have presented in front of you an option where they're like, you win the Masters.

And you're saying no to that and you're giving up all of that. Like you get to go play in the Masters as a Masters champion forever. You get to go to the Champions Dinner at Augusta National forever. You get a green jacket that is like ears when you arrive

like on property, you're a Masters champion. dressed in the Champions locker room forever. And you're giving all of that up to be a PGA champion, U.S. Open champion, and a British Open champion. I do think from a rational standpoint, it's a no break. You're going to get more money. You're going to get more, like, you're a three-time major winner. But I do think it speaks to, if you really break it down,

like how much we elevate the Masters. Like, think about the fucking Masters. When that thing comes around and you're one of the champions from the Masters, That would be, I don't know that it gets any cooler than that in any sport. I think we've said that before. I think that's the single coolest thing in any sport that you can win is the Masters. Totally. I will say the other one like other majors, but I, since like going over to Scotland,

winning the Open over there would be all time, especially if it was like blowing, little rainy, you're walking up and just getting dumped on and you're just about to, like, that would be so, so cool to me. It feels like winning a war almost. Like you go from America over to... But also it's just like you go from America over to like this foreign land and it's like cold and windy and like you're playing all these people and all the fans probably don't like you and they want their hometown guy to win and like you win this fucking thing and like water splashing off the rocks into your face. Like it's a very cold win which is pretty cool and super unique. Yeah, I agree.

That's a grindy win. It's like you fucking battled through so much shit and you somehow emerged as the British Open champion. It's a little bit more badass, I would say, than the other ones. Totally. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. I mean, they all do have their history and clear, like,

the U.S. Open is awesome. Like, awesome. We just talked about the PGA, you know, Tuesday show, about how unreal it was that, that, or it is, that the PGA just delivers all the time, like the drama and the story. lines and the leaderboard that the PGA championship delivers is one of the more underrated things in all of golf. So, yeah, I mean, winning those three again for a rational standpoint

is, is pretty much unbeatable. What do you guys think is cooler of like an entrance to a house, like you, or like a casing, right? Is it the three trophies in a case or is it just the green jacket in like a portrait, like with lights on it? When you walk into somebody's house, like, I actually think the green jacket hits home harder than just three big trophies and the claret two big trophies in the claret chug. Yes, I completely agree with that. Like you walk in, they have that little trophy that they give you of the clubhouse. And then on top of that is a green jacket and a frame with like nice lighting. Whoa, baby.

That's like where this guy, what did this guy do in his life? You're probably right, but the claret jug is special. Just seeing that thing like, and along with three. other or two other major trophies. The green jacket is the crown jewel for sure, but that claret jug is very special. With the Wanamaker, like the Wanamaker is huge and preposterous, and then the Claret jug has that little like flutter, like shape on the top of it.

That's iconic. U.S. Obah Trophy that they just called the U.S. Obah Trophy and figure out a new name for that thing. We've been talking about that for years now. Kind of figure that out. Still very cool. I mean, it says like Tiger Woods on it a bunch of Jack Nicholas, which is awesome. But I mean, the lighting, frankly, the lighting, like, just two of those sweet lights on the top of the frame that go down and like you keep it in kind of a darker, a darker wall and area, but that's unmissable when you walk in and you're just like, oh, fuck.

Oh, oh, fuck. Tell me about that. Tell me how you got that thing. Fuck, man. I'm not going to switch, but that is, that's worth the debate. okay i'm glad it's worth the debate that's what we're looking for um Stanley cup champion that's what you're rooting for frankie so good luck people people will know at this point what you don't know right now how does that sit scary yeah okay uh very scary

just because like i'm going a war man it's me versus eight people i have no one else it's it's actually unfair and you know if they lose they fuck it's gonna be horrible but if they win it's boy I just own that office right like I just get to I get to do whatever I want

I can just walk up to Fire and just knock around his papers a little bit you know what I mean like like I'll just I mean if I win one V10 in that place like I kind of like own the place for the week at least

well dude you're going up against the core of Barstall sports like you're right you literally are going that gas Feidelberg, Dave, like, you're going up against the starting line, like, the original starting lineup almost of, like, Barstool Sport. And the most ruthless and the highest amount of fans, like, of our followers. Like that is where this place originated.

It's like Boston, you know, it's a very, very strong, strong fandom for Barstall Sports. And they will let me hear it. And you know what? Like, bring it. And I hope, I mean, yeah, I'm a little like. confident right now because zero zero and when people are listening to this they may have seen videos from saturday and last night or monday that speak differently or maybe they speak very like exactly to what i'm saying so who knows and it is one v8 whatever the number is but you in islander mode

possess the fandom of at least eight people like you're you're a lunatic so i'll have my dad with me so hopefully he doesn't catch some shrapnel. And, you know, I'm just put, I'm just throwing my dad into the mix here. It's like, who knows when that crew gets going. They got rear admiral coming down from Boston. Like, you just, you just don't know what's about to happen. Somebody, and you've said this before, somebody's going to get their feelings hurt. Somebody is going to say something mean, whether it's a Boston guy to you or you to one of the Boston guys.

Somebody over the course of this playoff series is going to get their feelings hurt. Dude, I remember, like, during the blues, during the blues, Bruins thing. Like some of the stuff that I tweeted at Dave Portnoy was, if you go look at that out of context, I mean, some of the most shocking, you can't,

you can't say that stuff. Like that's not, this is not acceptable. And so I can't even imagine where you're going to go with it. Dave's going to make me be like, go Bruins or something. You know what I mean? Like,

like, I live in fear of that, of, of messing up with him and like, and making him upset. So it's like, going against him's going to be really tough. Something I did.

didn't foresee coming in my five years of working at Barcelona here was in Islanders Bruins matchup to go to the Eastern Conference finals of the NHL. Oh, shit. I will say if the Islanders get through this, I'm going to be pretty fucking pumped about what's going on here. You know, that's two fucking good teams they're playing. Yeah, I think that, I think that's right. I think that would be really, really impressive.

And then they still would have to get through a lot, a lot, a lot. Probably like Carolina. Tampa Bay Lightning or Carolina, which is going to be a dog fight. I mean, if Carolina can pull it off Nashville tonight. But yeah, no, it's crazy. It's going to be crazy. How about Devon Tave's just like ending the blues? He, so we were, he did.

They just demolished the blues. It sucked. But, you know, we were talking beforehand. And I said, you know, we're not friends once the series starts, obviously. and then he texted me the day after at like 7 a.m. and just said, friends, question mark. And I said, I need one more day.

And then now I think to the Friday Barstow Classic, depending on their schedule, he's going to come out and hang out at the Barstall Classic on Friday. Obviously, he will not be able to, you know, play and he will not be able to partake in full activities as he's trying to win a stand-the-cup. But, yeah, I mean, the avalanche are really, really, really good. It's amazing just how hard it is to win.

Looking back, the fact that the Blues actually won a Stanley Cup two years ago and just defeated four other teams and best of seven series is insane. Like, how can you do that? All the teams are so good. Everybody's so good at ice hockey. They're just, it's nuts that you can beat teams and get through those series. And it took like double overtime, game seven goals by Pat Maroon. Like, it took crazy amounts of things happening to do that.

So I'm rooting for you, Frank. but it's just such a, it's a ridiculous road that you almost can't get through. And, yeah, I mean, I'm rooting for it. I'm trying to think who my team is now from this point on. It's hard not to, you know, as four-play guys, be on the Islander train. And I don't like the Bruins, obviously, due to some bad blood, you know, from when I got nookied on the Jumbotron. So I think that I'm very much on the Islander train right now.

We got Scotty Mayfield, the St. Louis native. So, you know, maybe you can have some allegiance to that. Um, yeah, it's just, it's, you know, the Islanders were right there last year. So that makes me a little more confident that they, they're hungry. They know what it takes. And they had no fans there, which, man, I was even talking a couple of the guys. Like, that really makes a difference. Like, I know as fans, we like to think that we do have some sort of impact on the game.

And like, like, I feel like there was times where we kind of took it for granted. Like, oh, players took it for granted. We're like, oh, like, we don't really hear the fans. Like, if you talk to a guy, they're like, well, we're in the game. Like, we don't really see the fans or whatever. and they try and play it cool. And now, like, after they've played a year and, like, a half without fans or however long it's been, like, they're saying, like, this is crazy how much, like, they need it.

Like, being home, like, when the Islanders were up, like, 5'3 and the crowd was, like, realizing that, like, they had a penalty kill and, like, let's just get through this and we're going to just win the series. Like, those guys on defense were, like, our legs just felt better. Like, we were, if we were, like, on the road or if we had no fans, like, we're just kind of tired, you kind of lose interest. Like going down on a two-on-one and the whole place is like going crazy.

You're like, it may be subconscious, but they're fucking going. Like, they're like, oh, fuck, this is a moment right now. So really cool shit. And I think that will help the Islanders this year because that place is an absolute jungle gym. Coliseum's a jungle gym. It is a slog, though.

Like, I remember living in Boston, 2011, when the Bruins made their run, I would just go out with all my buddies for every Bruins game pretty much. And there's just, again, it's like another sport with, yeah, you see people move around and there's like a difference in talent, but you need good goal tend to. So like Bittington for you guys, when you guys won the cup was out of this world good. And yeah, it just becomes like a slog. Like mentally you're exhausted after each game.

And you're like, all right, two two now. Jesus. All right, three to need this game. Then it goes to game seven. Like shit. And you got to keep doing that. You got to do that a million times. You got to do that four times.

It's crazy. That's what's happening with Sorokin. I mean, again, this series could just be going horrible or great right now as we're speaking. But as of right now, like, Sorokin's just like playing out of his mind, like Bennington-esque, where it's like the Islanders were just outplayed almost the entirety of the season, except for one game and then last night. So like four out of the six games, they just got outplayed. And Sorokin made like 50 saves in that game on the road.

And they stole a win and double over. in double overtime. Like, that's something that you need. Like, that's, like, that's the grind right there. I, like, I kept saying it. We're in the trenches right now. Our goalie is getting shot at, like, all over the place by Sidney Crosby and Chris LaTang and Malkin and Gensel.

Like, these guys know how to put the puck in the net. And he's making saves off the nubs of his stick. And there was one deflection where he was just standing there, went off his toe. He didn't even know he saved it. Like, that's just what you need. Yeah, that's what you got to have to win. That's just, that's it. Fuck.

Michael, Michael says, Can Lurch please just list what all he has eaten in the last two days? No, I mean, this is great. I've been on a health kick. Wow. Yep. Breakfast. I have a peach and an apple.

Then for lunch, I'm doing granola with a scoop. All right. No one cares about that. Talk to us about the bad day. Talk about, like, what's like a bad day? What's your last, what's your last day? What made you go?

on the health cake. What was that day? Stepping on the scale and seeing a 263 number which was just repulsive. No, but like what led, what day of eating led to you going on a health care?

The road, man. So the last three and a half weeks for my sales job, I've been I haven't had one more than one consecutive night at home in the last three and a half week. So like I'm, I work Saturday, come back, travel out Sunday night for a meeting. There was a time I was calling my brother. I was ordering

chicken sticks from Burger King. I got two back to chicken sticks. And then I went over to Dunkin' Donuts because I needed a coffee. I had a hellish travel experience. Got a large coffee. And then they had a chicken, a chicken thing on a biscuit. And I got two of those. And my brother called and he was like, dude, what are you doing? I was like, hands are up on the swan. This. is repulsive. So then really since then that was this last Saturday and Indiana. And you're not a fast food guy. So for you to go to Burger

King is desperate. Dude. So I had to get to Nashville for a meeting. So I'm flying from Flagstaff, Arizona to Nashville. Get to Denver. They ground us in Colorado Springs

because of weather in Denver. So I miss my connection in Nashville. Now I have. have to be at this meeting at 8 a.m. in Nashville. So I talked to a customer service rep. I'm like, what are my options? They're like, the only options are you can fly to Cincinnati and then you can either rent a car or get on a bus or something like that. And I'm like, well, I land at 1.30 a.m. There's no rental car at 1.30 a.m. So I get on a Greyhound bus from Cincinnati to Nashville, Tennessee that leaves at 1.30 a.m. gets into Nashville at 5.30 a.m. The bus sucks. It smells like

piss. I would say half the people have shoes on. It's a total mess. And I get on there, look to my left. Guys just rolling a blunt. Five seconds into the ride. Some guy in the back is like, I'm going to cut this girl. And I was like, we should pull over the bus because that's not not good at all. Not 10 seconds later, the same guy's like, hey, you give me five, 10 seconds. I'm going to cut her up and I'm selling like virtual reality training the police officers so I'm like I mean not that I can step in here but like you're like I got this I've been training for that it's also it's also that you were like oh we should pull his bus over that's bus life baby if you take a bus like they're just like no this is what happens so just keep nothing pulls that bus over bro that thing just keeps going

it's like speed the whole way like not 30 seconds later just goes into like it's like PA speech that's like no we'll be in Nashville by 630 to morning. Yeah. So anyways, got to Nashville at 6.30, took a quick shower, made the meeting with Nashville by 8,

and then from there had to rent a car to get back up to Indianapolis. So I was going pretty much just past where I came from. And that's when my brother called me where I was at this, just getting two sets of chicken fries, two chicken sausages. And that night in the hotel, there was a scale there. And I was like,

let's just give it a shot. And it was 260. I think 0.8, which is an all-time high. There are videos of those buses on fire just going down the highway. Literally just the back half of the bus is in a giant flame. And that thing's like, yeah, no, well, the guy's just making PA announcements. Yeah, no, we're going to get in right about 515. Make sure you don't forget any of your belongings.

That's just, that's bus life. Riggs, you remember when, Rick, you remember when you and I went to the Long Drive contest? I don't even remember where it was. But I know I had to take a bus. Dude, it was in somethingville, Oklahoma. That's right. Fuck, what was that town called? There was the biggest casino like in the world, they said there.

It was something. It was very underwhelming. It was. It was, I was doing like a bit. Like you, because you were in New York. It was before I moved to New York. And the bit was that you were like high class, taking a limo to the airport, had champagne.

And then I was taking a bus from Cedar Rapids, Iowa to Dallas. What a dog shit bit for you. It was horrible. Cedar Rapids to Dallas, Texas, and you were going to pick me up in a rental car in Dallas. And I remember, I mean, it was probably like a 13-hour trip or whatever. I remember within the first 45 minutes, I was like, this is the worst decision I've ever made in my entire life. Because it was just like, oh, it's going to be funny, you know, the opposites or whatever. And then as soon as I got on the bus, it was similar to Lurch's experience where you're just like, a lot of things are happening and nobody seems to care.

We're just trying to get to Dallas, Texas. And it's, it was bad. Bus life is tough. It's really tough. Dude, I've taken the funnwa or whatever, you know, between Boston, New York plenty of times. This, I will say, was, I mean, and it even was a little bit worse than that. So I landed in Cincinnati at like 115. I didn't make the bus in Cincinnati.

So I took an Uber from Cincinnati to Louisville because that's where it made a pit stop. And I caught the bus at Louisville and then finished it in a bus down to Nashville. but this was the worst bus experience I've ever been on. I mean, it smelled horrible for the four hours that I was on it. And bust life is just, it's not the dream life. When you wake up and you're a kid, you're not like, you know what I want? I want to be riding on the bus. That's fun stuff.

You want to get off that. Well, look, we were just speaking a lot about the motivations for Lurchy here and food-related. After a long day on the course, The last thing you're thinking about is obviously cooking a healthy meal. So what do you do? Maybe you get some takeout.

But when you, you actually kind of did the Bryson DeShambo when you piped a drive. And then you did like a walk off where you were like, yeah, I threw your driver. And I threw the driver. That was funny stuff, man. Yeah, the guy was like, after you hit it, just throw the driver. And I was like, what? And he's like, just launched that fucking thing.

I was like, you want me to throw your driver after I hit this ball? He was like, do it. and it ended up being a very funny video. Yeah, that whole thing was a trip. I was dressed like Tiger Woods. I wore the Tiger Woods outfit. All right, boys. It's now 6.52 a.m. local time,

It sounds fun. Yeah, man. Sounds fucking fantastic. Unfortunately, here in the Northeast, we're going to have a little bit of a rainy Memorial Day weekend. It's beautiful today, too. Frankie, actually, and Trent, quick. Did you, that storm last night? Did you get any of that? A little bit.

Some lightning. Some lightning. Yeah, it was intense for real out here in Jersey. So we were inside the Coliseum, and we all got alerts, like, for a tornado alert. And then, like, we were getting text messages that, like, the Yankee game got delayed, and City Field was, like, getting delayed. delayed or even like they took them off the field or something. I still don't even know what happened.

But it got dark because I went out to go get drinks and it was fucking just pitch black out, even though the sun had just been out seconds before. So, yeah, it was crazy. But when we got out of the Coliseum, it was fine. It was that like hot, humid, just rained kind of walk back to the car. But I didn't care. I was so, I was so happy. You know what you guys?

You guys aren't as crazy as me. I have the same outfits I wear to like every game. And it's starting to. become a problem like it's a very solid winter outfit which is what hockey hockey's a winter sport and like you're starting to get into june and i'm wearing this sweater and sweatpants and it's just it's a wet it's it's it's very misty underneath this fucking outfit taking pictures of people and they're like it's it's it's gross Frankie stinks that's going to be the the main takeaway for people i don't think i or as an else has helped me to this point um but if i ever forget the

put it on. God help everyone. Well, good luck to future Frankie. You know what I mean? We don't know what's going on. Good luck to future Frankie. Good luck, future Frank. All right. We'll be back on Thursday. I'll be, you know, check out my stuff at the U.S. Women's Open.
