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 by Barstville Sports. It is March 24th, 22. We got the whole squad back after a very rare Riggs and Frankie only show. We got Lurch, Trent, myself, Frankie, shout Jake Bass, Brennan Jones, our whole squad. Boys, nice to see you again. You both got shades of pink on.

So, you know, you kind of both came in here similarly looking as, nice to have you back. Thank you. I'm excited to be back. I listened to part of the two-man show just to hear what the dynamic would be. And I thought it went really well. I thought you guys, and it really helps when you're in person, but even like, I thought you guys had a good show. I really enjoyed listening as a guy who couldn't be there. I was then just a podcast listener. Like if I didn't have this job and I was just, I was still working my old job, I would probably listen to the four play podcast. And that was what it felt like when I listened to it the other day. I thought you two were gray.

Wow. I agree. And I will say, though, when Riggs said, you both came in here with a shade of pink, I didn't know if you were talking about Frankie's face at all, because that thing is just glistening right now. It was worse before. Do I sound weird right now? I'm in a very, like, empty room, so I don't know if it's very excellent.

Or you sound like there's nothing on the wall yet. It just sounds like there's nothing on the wall. Nothing on the walls, yeah. Like when T just moved into his apartment, it was a mess, echoing everywhere. Right. When I had that guy come over and you guys, ridiculed me for having a guy come build my couch. And it was just me sitting in like a lawn chair doing the podcast.

And it sounds like I was in a warehouse. I got to get a way to like here out of the computer and then here out of my mic at the same time. That's something that I'm going to work on. I'm going to let you all know I'm going to work on that. Number two, you know, a new setup, got the new desk, set everything up. Took me eight hours an IKEA desk. Just an absolute nightmare. They always say like, oh, assemble in one and a half hours with one people.

No chance. No fucking shot, dude. No chance. I know we gave you shit for on the couch situation. I'm telling you, I got a dryer in my fucking house. That's probably like five years old. It came with the house, you know?

And just somebody at one point was just the start switch. You like turn it and it wasn't working. And somebody turned it too hard and the piece like broke. And instead of just buying a new dryer, which is, you know, I don't know how much a new dryer is four or five hundred bucks. We fucking paid this company to come in, these appliance guys to come in. to come in and then they charge you like $130 to then tell you what you need to do and then tell you it's going to be like another $200 for them to come actually fix it.

And then I go on fucking Amazon and you order these pieces that are this big that you have to then finagle into the dryer after unplugging it and undo all the wires. And I'm like, who on earth has time to do this shit? Just like just pay somebody to fucking do it. Trent, I apologize if we gave you any shit for the couch assembly purchase, have somebody come do that. No, but it's for the birds to be doing this shit. Taking screws out and you drop them and they fall through a fucking vent. It's just a disaster.

It's actually a challenge. Things need to come put together. If I was president to be the first thing I start, whether that adds to shipping costs or it adds to like warehouse, warehouse is being 10 times the size they currently are. You put it together, right? Like they're actually going through extra. You can buy stuff, Frankie, put together. it's just not IKEA.

So like the IKEA brand that's like $62 for furnishings throughout your whole house. Like you can just spend two grand and it comes put together. So that comes back to the cost thing because you can get that done and just wildly more expensive

that put together. Well, there's my answer because it's crazy. It seems like they're going out of their way to put it into a box. Like they're like, all right, does this piece fit this piece? It's almost like they actually put it together.

And then they take it apart and put it into a box. box. It's like just send it to me. Um, but yeah, I guess it's just a higher end. It's actually interesting that we're talking about this. So I'm still at my parents place and right before we got on here, I let a guy in to fix the washer at their house. And he's the second guy to come out here because the first guy did exactly what Riggs said where he came basically took the whole mechanism apart. And then I was sitting on the couch and he came over to me with the piece and was like, hey, you got to order this thing right here. The product number's right there. So when I leave,

you go ahead, order that, and then, you know, when you get it, put it in there and it'll work. And I, he left and he handed me to piece. And I was like, I thought that was his job. I'm not confrontational enough to say that to him before he exited the house. So now there's a second guy here that we just called again and was like, hey, can you come out here and put all this in? Because I can't do any of that. I will make it worse if I try to fix it. And my dad will be mad at me.

And then they're going to have to buy a whole new washer. and that's going to be on me. So just having someone do stuff for me is the way to go, in my opinion. It is crazy, though, that that guy doesn't be like, okay, like your washer, the status of it, this is the part that's broken. I'm going to order one, come back in two weeks from now and fix it. Like, you think that that would be, the onus would be on him. It's crazy that he comes.

It's like, here's the part that's broken. You're like 25% of the way there. Now you've got to do the other stuff. And I know I should have said that to him. In the moment when he was telling that to me, He was like, all right, now is the point where you say, I thought that was your job. And then, but I just let the moment pass, he walked out the front door and we just didn't have a washer for another week.

What'd your dad say when he reported the news of that? He knows me. He's, he's kind of like, isn't, shouldn't he have done that? And I was like, I don't know what to tell you, pops. Like, probably, but I don't have a spine. So you're going to have to, we're going to have to call somebody else. There are just two different types of people. there's a type of person who sees something is broken or needs to be assembled or needs to get done

and just thinks, why on earth would I pay X amount for either a new one or someone else to do it? I can just do it myself. I could take the time and do it. And there's another type of person, which is what I am, that every single second that I spend doing something that I just don't want to be doing, I get more and more pissed off. I'm incapable of actually fixing or being handy whatsoever. And every second that goes by, I just think more and more, I could just be. paying some other human that's capable of this to do it.

And I could be doing literally anything else in the world. I could be playing golf or video games or eating dinner or and it goes back to cooking. It's the same way with cooking. Why would I spend an hour and a half preparing a meal when I can just pay someone else to fucking do it and then the meal appears? And I understand budgets and all that. But like this dryer situation, it's like is that on my deathbed is that $220 difference? Is that going to matter to anyone on planet Earth?

No. Anyone? And I'm sure the men who are listening to the show are saying just fix it yourself. But you know what we are rigs? We're jobs creators. We create jobs. If I don't want to do it, I will create a job and pay someone to do it. That's, you know, that's how society works. So I'm just, I would rather do that, create a job, pay somebody some money and have it done the right way. Because there's a good chance I'm going to do it the wrong way anyway. I wish I was in the economy. To be able to look at something and be able to fix it. it with confidence is such a skill. I mean, all the things that I've been doing, like, I'm just watching other guys do it. And it's, it's like, it's still time consuming because like you got to let them in the house. It's like you got to be there while they're doing it. You got to like make small talk. It feels like if I could just do this myself, it'd be a lot easier, be saved a lot of money. Like we have a, the previous homeowners had closets in this room and we want to take those closets away, right? We took the doors off. Now there's just two arches in the wall. I just want to knock that part of the wall down. That's all I've said. I've said it to everyone I know. I'm like, I just want to

knock this part of the wall down. It never used to be here. They put closets in. I no longer want the closet. So I want that wall gone. And everyone's like, who like, you know, you got to get, you know, this guy over here because you got to spackle the ceiling. I'm like, I don't know what any of that means. Like, why can't we just do it? This is what I was arguing with like my fiance's dad about this. And he's just like, you know, someone's got spack. I'm like, well, someone else is going to come in here and do it. Why can't we do that? You know what I mean? Like some other human is going to figure out how to do that knock down this wall. Can we be those humans? Are we capable of being those humans for one day to just knock down that wall? I don't think you're capable of that. And I think you would agree to

that as well. Yeah, but like at some point that guy learned how to knock down that wall. He knocked down his first wall ever. And I want that to like I want to knock down my first wall ever. But the question becomes because that's a trade that he has left. Learned. Do you want your first wall that you knocked down to be inside your house? I got to get the air on in here. It's starting to get hot. I haven't figured out all the, I'm starting to get red. But to Frankie's point, do you ever watch like property brothers or these HGTV? And that's like, oh, we're going to renovate the house. They come in with like their buddies and a 12 pack and a sledgehammer and they just knock down walls. And so you party things. I'm watching them just like on property brothers or like fixer up or I've been watching all these things. Sell it or love it or sell it. Like they. They. They, love it or listed. It's a great show. They, um, they just come in and they just move throughout the house.

They're just sledgehammering things and repairing things and drywalling things and spackling things. It's like, we just need to do that for a day. One day. I got to knock this wall down. So I would see, Frankie, the big concern for you is there's like certain foundational pieces of this is not load bearing. I know all the words.

Okay. All right. So as long as you know that. It's a closet. Studfinder. You get the stud finder out. You're doing the whole. We already knocked.

We already knocked fucking nails through the thing that it's hollow as shit. So just take a sledgehammer and just rip it apart. I agree. I don't want to. Here's the thing, though. Where the ceiling is inside the closet and then inside the room that's like finished, there's a wall and then we're going to knock that wall down. There's going to be like a beams worth of ceiling exposed.

We now have to. We now have to spackle that and paint it. But like I heard if you're not like an elite spackler, you're going to see like where the. Ice back for the summer. It doesn't take much. You basically just... That's like big spackle got to you there.

That's a crazy sales pitch. I agree. It's got to be smooth. You don't want to look up at the fucking ceiling big. Oh, that's where you knock the wall down. I want to be very clear that we want you to do this. I also want to say that we want a camera present when you start knocking that wall down. That's all that I ask.

Because I want you to do... I'm actually surprised that you have this opinion. I thought you would just be like, let's pay somebody to knock that wall. down because if the wall. I pay too many people too many things to get this house ready and I'm sick of it. But like someone's like yeah, it's going to be like, 30,500 knocked that wall down. I'm like, what are you fucking insane? I can just do what you're going to do.

All right. But if you do it and then it doesn't look good, you now live in that house for the rest of your life and you and your fiance are going to look up there and be like, remember when Frankie knocked that wall down and tried to spackle and now it looks like there's a demon coming out of it? If I walk up, if I knocked that wall down the wrong way, I'm not going to be there to enjoy what happens after it because it's a well-the-best is whoever so you i send you a bill over 3,500 bucks take that wall down you do it because you're like dude i'm

i'm not paying 3,500 bucks and you just see it it just looks horrible just with the spackling you call that same guy up he walked in the house yeah you want me to fix that spackle i saw you take the wall down yourself seven grand and you're just like you know what just do it you know what it actually wasn't even set 3,500 it was like a thousand bucks or like it was just At this point, I'm just like, whatever. Dude, take it down yourself, Frankie. It's no big deal. I'm just taking you're coming in and spackle it.

That's what I was thinking about doing. That's fine. Get a piece of sandpaper. You sand it down, spackle it. You're done. Dude, channel your inner rick Ross. Put a cowboy hat on and put it on your Insta stories. Every move that you make.

We got to talk real quickly about these puppies. Okay. See, I'm holding right here, boys. Those things got sent to my house the day. They're insane. These new G4 Gallivantors is a spring edition? Oh my God. Dude, they got this little brown trim right there.

We're talking about houses and how stuff looks nice and classy. I mean, this is like nicer than any room in my house is what they've done with the trimming on these golf shoes right here. These are the Galavansters from G4. We've been talking G4 for a while because their MG4 Plus series is probably the most comfortable shoe in the world. The same people that make that make these. So these are extremely comfortable to the Galaventers. But they got that classier, more old-school look. Other companies are literally now copying this look because they're so good.

Do yourself a favor. Go to G4.com slash 4. You get 10% off your first order today. But they got the new spring colors. I also brought over. Okay. The ghosts. Oh, yeah.

Love those. Those are the so great. The ghost of the MG4 Plus series. So G4.com slash 4 you get 10% off. But look, they just reimagine the shoe game. That's what G4 did. The Galavanger's made from premium pebble, full grain leather, and a cleat design.

design for optimal on course traction. They'll keep you planted through your swing and dry on the course for those wet spring days. That's true. You are going to get some wet spring days. So explore the new spring colorways to fit your style and enhance your game on the course. G4.com slash for 10% off your first order today. These things are hot.

They're hot right now. Favorite shoe right there, Gallivander. Tad, are you a sneaker guy? Or are you a Gallivanter guy? I feel like you're more on the sneak side for the G4. I'm more on the sneaker in. I mean, I'll wear both. But I'm definitely in terms of that, I'm more of a sneaker.

meaker guy. What about you? Galaventers to me. Galavanger best shoe in the game, I think. I mean, it is. I agree, but they've got so many good ones. And they were gracious enough to send us a bunch and I wear them all. They also came out with a gray gallivanter. And once I saw that and I opened up that box, I immediately imagine like those gray shoes, blue pants, a gray shirt, maybe a gray and blue hat, blue belt. I'm like, I want to pick out which course I want to wear that outfit too, because it's like such an elite. I'm feeling good today outfit.

I always do that when I get new apparel. It's like what course I'm going to wear this on. I get really excited about that type of stuff. So once I saw those great galatas, I knew it was going to be a huge day coming up in the future. Between Taylor Made and G4, there's no more excitement than a package with one of those two companies logos on the bag.

You get giddy. You're a child on Christmas. It's that exciting when they come. And yeah, their shoes look that good. Kevin Chappell, I was amazed. Kevin Chappell was wearing the sneakers, the MG4s, in play during the Phoenix Open. And, you know, people ask a lot because they don't have the cleats, right? They just kind of have the built-in traction on the bottom.

And people ask, like, do you slip a lot? And I'm like, well, Kevin Chappell, who's a G4 guy now, was literally wearing the MG4s during competition on BTA tour, playing for his card. So they figured it out all around the block. Rory One Club video is out. It's taken off. It's doing incredibly well with the Numbies. that makes sense because Rory Macaroie is probably the biggest name in the game. Top two or three biggest names of the game. I guess the biggest name in the game of people that's actually playing

now because Phil Mickelson's just not even playing the Masters tournament. But the one club, Rory chose a six iron played us on like a 440 yard par 4, I believe it was. And we walked up the fairway with him. We told stories. We chit chatted. We chopped it up. We shot the shit, if you will, and we competed against him. Brendan, Ebug did a phenomenal job once again when drone footage, that shot Frankie that you described last show when it was just you and I doing a nice duet of everybody's walking up the fairway, no cameras around, no carts, it was just five dudes strolling up a fairway in Florida. Oh, gave me the feels.

It's an elite video. It's every time you watch that stuff, it reminds you of just like what the hell happened that week or that day. For me, I needed to be reminded of everything that was said because I think I was in another universe as it was happening. It's an amazing. video. You know, you can just go look at the comments on the YouTube, on the YouTube comments section. Just everyone's like, I can't believe Rory is this kind of person. Like, like, he's been a star

his entire life. He has no reason. And Trent said this exact thing before. He has no reason to be the person he is. He could just go be the biggest douchebag, tell you to go fuck off. Just go riding to the sunset, never play golf again. He's got all the money in the world, but he still continuously shows up day in and day out, grinds at golf. He's amazing. at the game, but he's also a better person, which is insane. Like to stumble upon four idiots on a T-box, that's some media day thing, and be that attentive and, like, that caring and, like, we gain everything from that video. He gains, like, he's just still Rory McRoy.

He's Rory Macroy if he steps up to that T-Box with us, or if he doesn't. So, like, for us, it's life-changing. It's half a million views in two days on YouTube. It's us being like legitimate Legitimitized Legitimized It's us being legitimized Legitimized

Legitized? Matte? Matta Up to screw up there You know what I mean? It's us being legitimatized In that world So, you know, I just want to thank Rory

I know you're listening And thank you so much For everything you've done for us And thanks for being so cool Because I know all the viewers And the listeners enjoyed it And hopefully we can do some more with him Because he seems like he's down for it.

Yeah. Yeah, since Rory is definitely listening, I want him to know that he could have rolled up on that T-box, told us to line up and spit in each of our faces. We'd have been like, that's, yeah, I would, that's probably how I would act if I had a situation like Roy McElroy. I might have liked that more than six iron. I was going to say, yeah, I mean, me too. I'm so in love with him. That seems like something I'd be into. But he, yeah, the video's great, you know, I don't want to spoil it if you haven't watched yet, but I wish I'd played a little bit better in front of Roy McElroy.

But yeah, the video is fantastic. The numbers are going to crate. You know what I mean? you were his first his first student yeah no the the first video was great for me and then the second video

me and Rory both had a one club challenge and I you know for different reasons but yeah the video's great and Rory's great I can't wait to hopefully we get to do stuff with him in the future I'm sure we will yeah fingers crossed

I imagine we will I imagine we will he does make everybody feel like you're one of his best friends the entire time that you're hanging out with him which he has absolutely no reason or obligation to do. So yeah, go check that out on our YouTube page, Rory McRoy, One Club.

And then again, at Taylor May Golf, we got, thanks to them, we've got another, you know, dozen or so videos that we still have to allow that we filmed in November. In the pipeline, I think next week we've got Doc Redmond. We all try and attempt a hole in one with him. It's an amazing video, Jake Bass. It's still sore from that. I mean, back is still sore. Then we've, like, I don't know in any order,

but we still have the Robbie Burger, brilliantly dumb, four-man scramble coming out. We're going to go we're going to go Doc Redmond, Sergio Garcia, Colin Morikawa, Colin Morcawa,

Robbie Berger, Matt Wolf. Give me some excitement, Jake Bass. Give me a little bit of a bass here going through this. Let's go, baby. No,

I was trying to think of them. I was trying to think of them. And then we got, we're going to keep rolling. And then think then it goes, are you trying to keep your voice out for a reason? I'm just, I'm a name.

Do you have a gun? Do you have a hostage, Do you have a gun to his head? He's got a gun to his head? You're on an audio podcast right now. You don't have to whisper. If someone's like, hey, Jake's been a little loud, I can turn my mic up.

But like, if you're being a little loud, if you're being a little loud in the office, everyone's like, why is Jake being loud? It's like, oh, he's on like the number one golf podcast on the planet right now. He's just speaking for a second. We turned into NPR there for a little bit. Yeah, that was really simple.

Yeah, maybe it was a nice change of a page for the listeners. Let me pull up a transcript of a, of a despot real quick. I mean, all those videos are great. The Sergio, I'm excited for all of them, but the Sergio one, people are not going to believe. No, they're not going to believe that. The fact that he did that, the visuals, you know, just the storyline, everything about that Sergio video is insane. I'm worried for that one. Yeah, there's a little controversy at the end.

I'm sure Lurch will hear a lot about that. And he, and like, he heard it from Sergio right on the spot. Like, you, I haven't seen the video. Oh, yeah. Right away, right away. So a lot of fun coming up. Doc Redmond won. Like, Doc Redmond's not the biggest name on the tour.

But man, every time we're with him, he is like the coolest dude ever. Love to see him play well. He's actually been playing pretty well recently. I've seen him, you know, in some leaderboards going into the weekends and just see his name popping up now. So that video is going to be amazing. I think people are going to fall in love with him. I mean, they did last year. He did the One Club Challenge last year with the driver.

It was so impressive, like going around the bunker and like chipping it up and almost making a birdie, I think, last year. So, yeah, Doc Redmond won next week is going to be amazing. How hilarious is it to have Robbie Burger in the middle of, like, Kalamorakawa and DJ? That's us, baby. I love it so much. I love those guys so much, too. That's going to be such a good change of pace for everybody. Okay.

We got quite a bit to get to. We have, I want to go through our Pirates, Pirates voyage experience with Frankie, myself, and the Barstool Classic crew, Hannah Cook was there. Phil Mickelson is not playing the Masters tournament. We got the Dell match play, which is on right now. I'm watching it. Kiz won four and three today. Shocking, he always wins there. Bryson with some weird comments about his situation, not surprising.

I want to get Lurch's take on the Ash Barty retirement, 25 years old, won the last three major championships, the last one in Australia. She just absolutely destroyed the field, didn't lose a set, and then just retires for actually the second time in her career. So we can get to that. But first, we're going to start with a little, we're going to start with a little from the gallery, from the gallery is brought to you by Truly.

Truly Hard Seltzer, which we love, which we are having plenty of on Sunday and Monday at the Barstool Classic. They got all kinds of flavors. They're new stuff. The margarita flavors are off the charts. Fat Perez, our guy, just kept coming over and going, Riggs, have you tried these margarita flavors that they have it? Truly, I go, yeah.

No, I've tried them. They're really good. And then they got a lot of the classics, wild berry, black cherry, new twists, like the passion fruit, citrus squeeze. There's over 27 flavors of truly. So there's something for everyone. And you could, you can check out find truly hard seltzer near you at trulyhardtselter.com. That's truly hardseltzer. com. We'll talk a little bit more about the. Truly's only got under 110 calories, plenty of refreshing flavors that will not weigh you down. Every truly contains only one gram of sugar.

Frankie and I were part of a truly commercial the other day, which is going to be coming out. I can't stop thinking about, I can't stop thinking about the audio guy and how Trent would have absolutely fucking lost his shit. I mean, Trent would have lost his shit. Basically, Trent, so we have this huge set. I mean, we had actors come down from DC to like, they like drove down from D.C. The whole thing was hilarious. And like there were just like there's extras.

There's all these like big lamps and lights and there's this audio guy that's obviously Mike and he's got the big boom mic and he's a big dude and he's just like. And everyone's about to say action. Like Rob's about to say action. And no one's paying attention to the audio guy. And he goes, he goes, he goes, he goes, he goes, he goes, I got a plane overhead. I got, he goes, and he just, he goes, I got a plane up ahead. I got a plane in the air.

And he's screaming. Excuse me, I got a plane up ahead. He's just screaming, play, play. Play up ahead. And we're like, we're screaming at Rob being like, there's a plane up there, dude. Oh my God. And then all of a sudden, because he can hear it a little bit more than us. So like, oh yeah, now all of a sudden we kind of listen, you hear this thing buzzing.

And we're like, what a call by this guy. Dude, also, me and Frankie were dying and we kept looking at each other. We wanted to talk about it and like rehash how funny it was, but we're mic'd up. So we literally, like we couldn't even whisper about how funny it was because he could have just heard us the whole time. It was, dude, one of the guarantees of life, death, taxes and audio guys being the weirdest people on a set. Every time we go to one of these shoots or, you know, shoot a commercial or whatever, you can always depend on the audio guy bringing a little bit of comedy. Remember the Daniel Kang audio guy where he was, the thing is, and you can't fault them because they're not used to doing golf shoots. So they don't really know how things go or where you can go at what time.

And the guy that Daniel Kang shoot was just running like Barry Sanders while people were shooting at a nowhere. And it was, yeah, I mean, I'm very, I'm upset. set that I missed this audio guy because it would have just been another audio guy that I look at and be like, you guys are so interesting. They're so interesting. We should start bringing audio guys on the show just to interview them, be like, what's your life like? Because they're very interesting. Speaking of audio guys, Jake Bass, I have to do some audio saving there because I was screaming in this new room. It's just so echoy. I was looking at my levels here. I think I may have had some people drive off the road with how loud that probably was. So apologies if that's not fixed. But wow, I mean, I was getting notification saying,

are in the red. Oh, shit. So from the gallery, Garrett starts with a very good one. And now we've got Trent today. He asks a very simple question. He says, is Trent more famous in the golf world or in the bachelor world? And it really got me thinking.

And he kind of said, he's like, my first instinct was golf because what you guys do at golf is more comprehensive with podcasts and YouTube videos and live events and merchandise all over the place. And he was like, but who, what guy in the Bachelor world outside of people that have been on the show and not even they have the same staying power is like as big as Trent is in the bachelor world? I don't know if I have an answer for that either. My gut says the golf world.

But I don't know if that's right. I don't know. I don't know either. What do you guys think? I think like name recognition and. story and like you being like people actually knowing who you are i would say that it's golf but i would think it's golf by a long shot because of how much you're on golf you're like we talk eight hours a week of golf you're in videos every single week with golf like everyone knows your

whole story i think if you're just like asking if you went across the country and interviewed golf fans and bachelor fans and showed your picture i think it could be pretty close of people being like oh i know who that guy is really i'd still say would golf by a mile I think if you just like, if it was like one of those like police lineups and like there's like pick the dude from the bachelor that like grabs the bag, I think like a ton of women across the country big is that dude right there with like the goatee. I think it's golf, but I'm not confident in that choice. Yeah, I'm not either. I think it's golf. I think it's golf.

But I wouldn't be, I wouldn't feel comfortable placing a hefty wager on it. I would be uncomfortable. I think you're pretty big in the bachelor people throw brawes at this man brawes from around their boobies they throw them at trip yeah no that's that's still surreal boobies are awesome too you're just dealing with a boobbies are sick fucking the coolest you know great so there's no two ways about it i think i think it's golf i think i think just generally like this podcast is obviously huge

and our youtube is huge and all that and i do think the breaking 100 thing probably put it over the top just the way that the reactions I got from it and I mean we would go to we would go to every golf tournament we would go to either before I did it or after and they'd be like you know rooting for you to break 100 or congratulations on break 100 when we go to golf tournaments it's it's honestly hard to like decipher what is like because at golf tournaments we people just know who we are because they're golf fans and that's all people in one area who love golf and we're in the golf world so I don't know I think it's golf but again, I'm not confident in that. It's nice to be a part of both worlds, quite honestly. True. Yeah. I mean, it's a great sign. It's a great argument to be a part of.

You should be obviously happy that you're part of that. Michael says, would you rather have Tiger's cell phone or have, or Tiger has your cell phone number? Wait. Do I have his actual cell phone? No, sorry. You have, well, yeah, that would be amazing. Would you rather have Tiger's cell phone number or him have your? your cell phone number.

Well, I would rather have his because if he has mine, that number is never getting used. And I don't, not even saying that if I have his. He took the time to save it down, which is crazy. Even if he doesn't call you. Like, yeah, you could somehow get Tigers, but you could just be a stalker. But the fact that, like, you're a saved entity where it says T. Daddy Ryan in Tiger's phone. Like, that's pretty cool. T.

Daddy Ryan. I'll always remember, yeah. Every time I get a message from Joey La Cava, I got one the other day just in the middle of the night. And it was like, he was just talking about, I forgot what he said, but congratulations or something. Did you get a house or something like that? And I was like, thanks, Joe La Cava. You know what I mean? It's just like, every time I get that message, it's always like, wow, this just came from the Tigerverse.

And it always just drives me crazy. I'm kind of staring at my phone being like maybe he's with Tiger right now. He talked to Tiger today. It's just like that Tigerverse to me is like the coolest thing on the planet. Yeah, I think I'd rather have the number, though, because then you could always just, you know, you can make a mistake, send them a drunk text or something. It's a little more exciting. Would you ever use it, though? Would you ever actually use it?

I don't think so. I don't think so. I have some numbers in my phone just from the pizza review days that, like, the fact that they're in there are hilarious. And, like, I'd never send a message or, like, I should just delete them because I'm never going to send a message to it. Why would I send a message to, like, Andrew McCutcheon? Or, like, you know what I mean? like the most random athletes and celebrities of all the time i'll always remember dude for some reason andrew mccutcheon did not use like a person you just like came to the pizza review and i gave him

the wrong address i gave him i gave him the ad i gave his team or him whoever it was at the time that i didn't know i was dealing with him i gave this number an address and the pizza place was not open that day so all of a sudden i'm like fuck like now we're deciding that we're going a new place and i don't know if this is andrew mcuchin's like agent or whatever all of a sudden my phone starts ringing from that number that I had been dealing with. And he goes, hey, Frankie. I was like, hey, he's like, it's Andrew McCutcheon. I was like, oh, shit.

He's like, I'm outside this place. It says it's like a Chinese food place. It's definitely not a pizza place. I'm like, I know, dude, I fucked up. You got to come to this spot. He's like, oh, fuck, Frankie. He's just like, like, you suck. And then just, like, came to this pizza place.

We ate at the worst pizza place ever. It was one of those, like, it had everything in it types of places. And then that night, that night, he played against the Yankees and, like, dropped a fly ball and, like, left the game early. and he absolutely had food poisoning. Like, yeah, I remember like the announcer's like, whoa, Andrew McCutcheon's looking real sluggish out there in center field. And I'm watching the game like, oh shit.

Oh shit. I think a lurch has got a great point that the process of, of Tiger getting your number and saving it is far cooler than him, like me having his because like one of you guys said that I could have just stalked him somehow and like figured out a way to get it. But the thing is, does either person in that scenario use the number? And it's probably no. No.

And so for that sole purpose, there's a chance that he scans it one time or in five years was like, oh, yeah, that guy teed out of him. Because if you have his number, he's never thinking of you. So when Frankie talks about like the Tiger universe, like there's a chance if he has your number that he thinks about you. Like you're already thinking about Tiger. Right. Yeah, exactly. They do. You're already thinking about Tiger.

Even if you have his number, I mean, Frankie says, like, maybe I'll make a mistake and drunk text him. Like, then the next thing you see is, like, either your phone blows up or you just see, like, you know. But the only reason I brought that up is because, like, then, because we're never hearing from Tiger if he has our number. My point is, like, if I have his, at least there's another shot of communication, whether it be a mistake, whether it be, like, incoherently just making a decision or, like, whatever. But I have a line to Tiger, regardless of the scenario. That was my point. I could reach him if I wanted to. I'm not saying what the result's going to be,

but I could get his phone to ring and his attention for two more seconds than I would if he had my number. I personally would not put a drunk text slash call in the pro category. I would put that in a con. If I had that, then you get with your buddies and you, somebody mentions or you mentioned like, oh, by the way,

Frankie's got Tiger's number. And then the whole night is about getting Frankie to send a, drunk text to Tiger Woods and that is a place that I don't think I want to be. I know you don't want to be there. I'm just saying that at the end of the day when we're all in the dirt, did I alert Tiger of my being for one more second than I would have had I not have his number? You know what I mean? Like did I make him, did I change his life even for a second by sending a message? He had to read it. He had to like say, ah, what is this? Like he did actively did things regarding me. So I don't know.

You like gotten his way on the street and made him move. Like that's more than enough. Yep. That's how much I like that guy. I'd still like my answer to be that I want his cell phone because and I'm sure everyone does because I was thinking about like myself personally or I'm sure you guys feel this way too. Like I would rather give someone my left arm than give them my cell phone.

If I give you my cell phone, I know I'm looking down the street and sirens are coming down to see. You know what I mean? Like just like everything that's on there. And I don't even think there's anything particularly bad on there, but I know that there's some naughty things on that phone. My cell phone's mine. Yeah. I've, oh, whoa, I just got blurred.

I've been in hotel rooms next to Trent hearing himself throw himself across the walls. One too many times to know that that phone needs to stay in that pocket. True. If you could take all the data from someone's phone, that thing's, the reason that everybody says, like, you don't just say phone, it's like, that's my phone. Oh, that's your phone. It's like they are possessive items and they're made to be kept with that. It's an extension of you. It's an extension of you.

This might as well be a chip in your forehead. It knows so much about you. This thing knows more about me than anyone. It is me. This thing is me. It scans your face to let you in. Yes. Right.

And not only like you can know things about someone just by knowing them, whatever, you're friends with them or whatever. But this thing knows the way that I interact with everyone. It knows everything about. every relationship that like every friendship that I have, it knows the way we enter. It's just, yeah, I would rather give. I'd give up both legs before I'd give up my phone. Just no way.

Would you, would you give up your eyesight for someone take your phone? Bro. You just can't have my phone. You just can't have my phone. You just can't have my phone. So it's like, give me your phone and you get to see forever. Or you keep it and we're turning the lights off. I mean, if somebody got to take your phone, like a committee,

and then they got to, like, go through it for, you know, a month, and then they got to publish, like, a Wilson report of, like, your voice on your phone. Would that be the worst thing that could, would that be the most embarrassing thing that could happen? And it's not just for us. It's for every person on the planet. That's exactly what I was going to say. No, totally. People who are listening are probably thinking, like, what are these psychics?

goes have on their phone. But if put yourself in the listeners, put yourself in those shoes, you'd be mortified. Just, you'd be mortified because there's things in there that I've forgotten about that I, that would be put on the on the PowerPoint. And I'd be like, fuck me, man. That sucks that that that's up there right now. So it's like, yeah, everybody feels that way. Dude, even like the way that you talk to you, like your parents, like, oh, dinner's home. Dinner's ready. Thank you, mommy. Or so like, whatever. I don't want any of that stuff online. Like that, like I don't want any of that stuff online. You don't have to take my. eyesight, but you can take my life. You can just take me out of the equation altogether because

you just can't, you can't have my phone. Like Lurch said, my phone is mine. Yeah. And then Frankie had a great add-on to that line of it scans your face to let you in. I mean, those things are, those things are possessive and you're going to want to keep those by your side. It's fucked up to say, but this thing knows more about me than I know about myself. Because there's things in there that I've just, they're gone and I said them and I forgot that I even said them and I'm just the current version of me that can only hold so much data. This thing has like a terabyte of data that it can keep and it is constantly recording and it remembers everything you've ever done or knows exactly where you're going.

Like that wall I want to knock down the other day I was talking about it and my phone was in my pocket. I go to my phone, go on Twitter, go on Instagram, click on Facebook and there's all these things. It's like inserts for a brand new wall like things that now I can put on this wall that I'm expecting to knock down. It was fucking horrifying. And I know we've talked about this at length on this podcast, but like it was oddly specific. It was like, do you just knock down a wall?

Here's what you could put up on this brand new spackled wall. I was like, dude, what the fuck, man? Like I know that there's some sort of like office where guys were talking like, oh, Frankie's about to knock down a wall, but let's hit him with all the inserts of like in all the cabinets. It was crazy. It's not even an office. It just does it automate it. It just does it.

Like there's robots that just did that a billion times faster than any human being could do. Have you guys ever had somebody, somebody's trying to get into your phone, turn the phone towards your face? And so that it'll, like, I've had people do it only from when I, because I'm always, not always. A lot of times I'm plugged up to the music and somebody like will try to change music when you're at like your apartment or your house or something. And someone, people can be so savvy, which is terrifying. And I don't know what these people are information. these people try to acquire from other human beings by doing this. But I have someone just literally like,

tilt the phone towards my face and hold it at the right length and it just unlocks the phone. And I was like... That's like some CIA shit. Just want to die. I just kill me. If you pass out and you're like, you know, you're hanging out with someone and they want to take your phone

and they want to like look into your phone, they could basically, I mean, with a thumb, you could be able to just take someone's thumb while they're passed out, put it on the phone, and now they're in the phone. I actually did that move the other day. What? Well, no.

Because the person was driving. The person was driving and like they got like a text and they're like, oh, can you read that? And I couldn't open the thing. So I put the phone in front of their face and it locked. It was like, it was like your mom. Can you read that? Even that just made me want to run out on the street. I know.

You got a text. I got a text. Can you read that? Like, uh, fuck no. Who are these people that are just okay with like their phones being right? Yeah. If I was sitting next to Charles like, hey, Trent, you just got a text message from the name X. Can I read it?

Something like, well, now we got to fight. You and I got to fight to the death if that thing opens. So Phil Mickelson will not be playing in the Masters tournament. I want to get everybody's thoughts on that. I thought pretty surprising. I thought that Phil would probably make his return there. I thought he would do a press conference similar to Tiger in 2010, where he was able to be grilled, and yes, it is exposing.

But at the end of the day, it's Augusta National. The fans are going to be receptive because they're patrons. They're so respecting and respectful at the Masters. And Augusta could kind of protect them because it's the least invasive place. There's barely any media allowed inside the ropes. People can't have cell phones. So I thought it would be kind of a no-brainer. He's got an unreal track record at Augusta.

He's won there three times. I think he's finished top 10, 15 times. I think he's finished top five, like 11 times or something. And he hasn't missed the Masters really in 30-something years. He's played it. So surprising, I thought, that he's not playing the Masters. I was definitely surprised. And I think it's a misstep by Phil.

think I think this makes it a even bigger deal. Like it's one thing to miss the players and that that made sense because that's the, that's the PJ Tour's crown jewel and it would have been really odd if he had showed up there and Jay Monaghan's there and it's like, this is too weird. Skipping the masters made everyone have the same reaction that we're all having right now, or at least Riggs and I, where it's, holy shit, this is a big enough deal where he's going to miss the masters now. Like I don't think people had thought about it that way and then he puts that into people's

brains and now it becomes an even bigger deal. Now it's even more silence. And now it's just another storyline where, wow, it's another Phil storyline where it's like, man, he missed the masters. That's a huge deal. So I think it's a misstep by him because if you just go, like Riggs is saying, you're going to get grilled and that's going to happen. But like at least you're there and you're answering questions and you can at least defend yourself a little bit. Maybe you have to cower. You got to tuck tail and be like, I made so many mistakes over these last few months that, you know, I can't even wrap my brain around it, but you at least have to go, show your face, participate.

Otherwise, what's going to happen is what's happening now where people are saying, this is such a huge deal that Phil Mickelson is missing the biggest golf tournament in the world. Yeah, I mean, I think like the other side is that he's staying out of the limelight, but I just think now when he comes back, it's just going to be like massive and like who is this alien creature that's in front of us. Like, I think there's going to be such a finite view of him when. he comes back and so much speculation over what transpired, especially if he doesn't share much, that, you know, I don't know, I go back and forth, like on some smaller stuff or, you know,

when you don't go, I guess, international, sometimes it's great to be out of the limelight for a while because people just forget and go on to the next thing. But so I like, but I think in this one, that strategy just doesn't work because the Masters is bigger than like almost him in this whole thing. Totally. So it, I, like, I understand his decision, but I think it's, I think it's definitely the wrong. If this was, you know, players and other items, I think that's the right play. But the Masters is like, you just have to play in that. You can stay out of everything else.

He could almost blend in at the Masters. I mean, he, he'll be a storyline, but he could, yeah, he could blend in more. It's more about the course and the, and the fee. Everybody's so hyped up to the Masters that him being there and doing his press conference would just be one of the, you know, thousand storylines that everybody is excited about. Yeah, this escalates things times a billion to me. I think it's bad for one press conference. Half an hour of his experience at Augusta is all answering questions, like doing a press conference, having to feel awkward, saying you apologize, moving on from the thing, and then just

playing, like he ends up whatever, 20th in the field after the first day and like no one's really talking about him. They're talking about John Rom and Rory Maca Roe and. Roy and whatever. Like they're just talking about the guys who were competing. It's the masters. No one cares about the fucking drama. I would think that the only people on the planet that can suppress the drama is Augustin National.

So yeah, I think this is definitely escalating things to a level where he's just like, I don't know how he's going to come back in a normal way now at this point. Like it's just going to be super awkward. It makes it very real. It makes it really real. Right. Because now you can just speculate like how bad is it?

Like where is it? Like where is he going? Is he playing now with the with the other guys? Like is he going to go with Greg Norman? Has he just completely just, is he never playing ever again on the PGA tour? Like you just, now we're able to ask these questions now for weeks on weeks now. Oh, man. Yeah.

And if he had missed almost no time, it could have been, I think he could have gotten away with the storyline. If I had Phil made a couple crazy comments, but like life went on as normal. He's part of the tour. It's totally fine. Whereas now he's stepping away from the game of. golf to reflect on the things that he's said and done and he's had poor judgment and he missed the Masters tournament for the first time in his line. That becomes like a scandal. Now it went from

a little bit of bad PR that he could maybe salvage to, I mean, this is, it's scandalous so much so that he had to miss the biggest tournament in the world. Another reason he should have committed is the off chance that Tiger Woods plays in the Masters. And then you are just the second story. And then nothing else matters if Tiger Woods commits after you commit. You know what I mean? And then it's forgotten. Then you're through because all you're trying to do is get through that title wave. And it's like, that's calm after that.

Right. We can discuss whether or not we think Tiger is actually going to play. But if in that situation, there's two situations. You commit if you're Phil and then you just kind of, you get beat up during a press conference, but not that bad because it's Augusta. Or you commit and Tiger commits and then nobody gives a fuck what's going on with Phil that week because Tiger is making his dramatic return.

So I would have committed either way. Yeah, I couldn't agree more. I thought it was a weird move. I'm very surprised. Something more is going on. It's got to be deeper. It's got to be more real. And hopefully we'll figure it out.

It might be able to figure it out using Sling TV. If you're worried about where to watch the big tournament or where to catch the news, if something does come too light, that sheds more information on this situation.

Okay, I had something interesting came across my radar here that I would like to share. So obviously the Ukraine situation, Russia, all over the real news. We don't really do real news around here.

But I have something. that I would like to allow any Ukrainian students out there in the United States of America, the MGA Foundation, which is the Metropolitan Golf Association, has partnered with Met Area Clubs and announced a unique opportunity through Golf Works. It's flagship internship program for Ukrainian students currently enrolled in American colleges and universities. This initiative spearheaded by Paramount Country Club, Springbrook Country Club, Hollywood Golf Club, Ridgewood Country Club, Mountain Ridge Country Club, Somerset Hills, Morris County, Trump Edminster, Navasink and Shelter Island Yacht Club will aid

stateside refugees who do not have a home country to return to this summer while also meeting the demand of seasonal employment at Met Area Club. So essentially they will be offering, these clubs will be offering Ukrainian students who don't have anywhere to go this summer because obviously their country is under attack, jobs and internships, paid internships in all kinds of club operation, including but not limited to grounds, turf crew, golf services, wait staff, kitchen office, et cetera. Unbelievably cool program that these people are putting together to try to provide shelter, jobs, home opportunity this summer for people that are basically going to be displaced when

they're supposed to go home for the summer. So really awesome program came across my radar. It's available to, again, Ukrainian national students currently enrolled at accredited colleges, universities, in the United States, set to begin. my employing students this summer for Met Area Clubs interested in participating in this program, contact Johanna Gavin, MGA Foundation at J Gavin. So it's J-G-A-V-I-N at MGAGolf.org. If you're interested, you can also contact Rob Wolf at R-Wolf 07712 at gmail.com. So go contact those folks.

If you're listening to this, if you know people that, you know, if that are Ukrainian fellow students of yours, that are panicking. They're not really going to know where to go in a few months, depending on how this situation unfolds. Check out this whole situation. Phenomenal program. We've been trying to think about ways to help. And, you know, you're trying to donate money

to help refugees in the Ukrainian crisis. But golf and the Ukraine situation and the MGA coming together and trying to help people. So obviously a great cause. It's awesome. Naviseng's actually a local country club to me. We've got some friends that are members over there.

So shout out those. Yeah, a lot of jersey spots in that list of clubs. The match play. I'm watching the match play right now. Kiz won four and three today. He defeated Maak Leishman. I love watching this golf course. We talk about it every year, but Austin Country Club plays so cool and unique. They have it all shaved down all over the place. So there's basically no rough. The ball kind of bounds and rolls and carums all around, which you don't see week to week. They got that cool-ass par five with the bridge in the background. People are always out there

on the weekend in their boats, boozing. Then they got that short par four where you can try to go for the green, hit the back stands is what a lot of people do. They've got some really cool elevation change, Austin Country Club. It's just a fun tournament to watch and it's matchplay, so it's completely different. So I'm just telling everyone that I'm excited to watch golf this weekend. Yeah, every time this tournament comes around, and I'm sure you could go back now. We've been doing this podcast for years.

Every time we talk about this tournament during this week, we say we want more events like this. We want more match play events like this. Like it's so much fun to watch because it's so different than what we normally see week to week on the PJ tour that, yeah, it's, it's, it's just fun to watch because you're watching guys play a different style. You're watching guys, you know, pick up when they get in trouble and like you just, I don't know, something about just something different is, is better when this week happens. And I don't know if they'll end up doing more. I don't know what, what the plan is. We never know. But this is always a fun week just because of, it's different. It's not the same week to week. Yeah, it's more in comparison to like your weekend game too,

where you say like you just pick up, you know what I mean? So it's like more to like what we're used to. But yeah, different games that are played. It's fun to show something off than PGA tour, just how low you can go. And we say this every year. But it's, I saw something actually interesting on Instagram. We maybe talk about as like Nellie and Rom were on a picture together of like a mixed doubles. You asked me like my take on Ash Party and things like that. But any and all ideas and bringing the LPGA and the PGA tour together, I think that could be interesting. I just think there's a lot of things that Dolph can do.

So it's not every week just try to get to 20 under because that should probably do it. You know, it's different, which is awesome. I think, I think Rom made a comment that he said, we should have more, you know, mixed doubles events. I could be wrong about that, but I thought that was a John Romcoe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was just he and Nelly in the photo. But yeah, yeah.

Right. It was that. It was from him. Maybe a guy like that saying. something like that will get the ball moving a little bit faster than it happened eventually right it feels like it's been enough momentum in the last few years there's got to be a mixed tournament in professional golf like a legitimate one with world ranking points and FedEx cut points and a PGA tour size purse for everyone that there has to be right definitely and it's different you know when the four eight eights

on this podcast say it and then when you know the number one golf from the world says it so hopefully that's weird yeah it's it's a touch different i wouldn't say it's you know all that different but it's a little different. So hopefully that gets it, gets it moving. And golf's the game you can do it. Like, you know,

like other games, we talk about like you play the golf course. So golf's like a game that would just fit the bill of goods and should be, honestly. I think like first of that, tennis does mixed doubles, but, you know,

there's definitely men play at a, I guess, a heavier and probably harder pace than women do. So it's not like a perfect fit. It works. But I think golf would be an excellent fit. So the latest with Brett. to Shambo, he'll be returning. He is returning right now this week for the first time and a long time.

He announced that he has been away from competitive golf for nearly two months. He's recovering from a fractured bone in his left hand and a torn labrum in his left hip. He went on to say, people are going to say it's off of speed training and all that. Sure, some of the things have been just a part of that, just abuse and working really, really hard, the big hitting golfer said. It's a great way to describe them. The big hitting golfers. Good name. I mean, it sounds like a...

The monster said. I mean, yeah, the big hitting golfer said. It sounds like it sounded like a child's book. Like I read to my nieces from time to time. It sounds like it's like out of a child's book. We're like, and here comes the big hitting golfer behind the trees. Definitely. It's like, okay.

Good luck, big boy. The big hitting golfer said it's like... Yeah, exactly. It's fucking crazy. You can write a child. That could be a good child's book that he could write, The Big Hitting Golfer by Bryson DeShamba. Totally true.

Probably will, too, the trajectory he's on. He's doing some weird shit. Yeah. He went on, the big hitting golfer said, but at the same time, I wouldn't have traded it for anything. I've learned so much about my body as time has gone on and learned how to manage things and how important.

He went on in terms of talk about his preparation and the masters and all that. Am I going fully at it? No, not even close. I won't be able to go at it until probably a guy. At least he's accepting that the training that he puts his body through is at the very least a factor in his injuries because I think for a while there, the media and Bryson de Chambot were at a standstill. Basically, the media waiting for Bryson to get hurt so they could say, oh, it's because of the crazy training you've been doing. And Bryson for the longest time seemed to want to not say that because he was like, I don't want to give them the satisfaction or whatever. but it's clearly going to affect him.

Like these things aren't happening in a vacuum. If you do the type of training that he does and we see the videos on Instagram, on his Instagram story where he is just mashing balls for hours and days and months, he has a human body, as much as he probably doesn't want to admit, that's going to get worn down

and you're going to get hurt. That's just, that's what happened. I think we would all agree that it held up for longer than we all thought. I thought after a month of lifting protein shakes, hitting a million balls, a million miles per hour every day. I thought he was going to be hurt within the first one to two months. But it lasted for a while.

He won a U.S. Open. He kind of changed the game in a way. Roy can attest to that. And overall it has worked, but it's nice to see him admitting that like, yeah, when you do what I do, you're going to tear a labor in your hit probably. Yeah, this statement is crazy. I would just like it doesn't pan out. Like, because when he won that U.S. Open, you had like Matt Fitzpatrick and guys that were like, yeah, I mean, like, if you change your body, like, I could get close or whatever.

You're just saying these crazy lines because we live in such like a moment. It's so hard to look at like an aggregate view. But there's just no way that that pans out, you know, over time or it's never proved to be where you make those bodily changes to yourself. It's like, it's just an impossibility. Yeah, the big hitting golfer is just an interesting side story, just day in, day out. you, that guy, you just don't know what you're going to get from him. I think it would have been different, too, if he didn't have the frame that he has. Because I remember, Riggs, when we first saw him in person at the Zerk Classic 100 years ago

when we eventually, well, the PJ, we won't get into that. But when we saw him, we could. Yeah, I think we are banned from that tournament. But he, when I first saw him, I was like, oh, he's got the body of a linebacker. Like, he's got the frame where you can put muscle and weight onto it. He's a big boy. If he had the body like Matthew Fitzpatrick, no shots. But like he wouldn't, he just doesn't have the frame to do that.

Some people can put on weight. Some people can't. I think the injury would have come sooner if you tried to put it on a frame that couldn't sustain. What? It only goes to my face and my gut. Right. Like if you tried to put that weight on and you tried to drive a golf ball 350 yards, you'd be hurt within a week.

Yeah. So. I got a little hip flexer thing going from moving a mattress yesterday. Right. So I felt that went, oh, oh, oh, oh, and I couldn't move. It was like the guy in the pizza review that threw his back out. Oh, one of the funniest videos ever took grace the internet. This place is good, huh?

And you're like, oh, Dave's like, what? You're like, oh, I think he threw us back out. And it's just, it's the timing is impeccable. But yeah, Bryson, you know, you're hurt. And that's what's going to happen. Frankie are blurry. Frankie's always had kind of camera issues, eh? I do.

It's fucking nightmare. Bryson actually put out, well, actually, Sir Nick Faldo put out a pretty good golf video the day. It just caught my eye on Instagram. And, yeah, it was just like him and Bryson using one club on the range, trying to hit to a specific number without like a range finder. So like, I guess like, I didn't see what Bryson had. I didn't have the audio on for the beginning.

But like maybe it was a pitching wedge. And they were both trying to hit exactly 150 yards. And then with the same club, they were trying to hit 160 yards. And the closest to that, just like with their internal yardage and their brain. So then they were like discussing like, well, now how do you go from 150 to 160? And Bryson had like, all right, I take it to 1030. And that's it. He does the clock system.

I take it to 10 o'clock. He goes, I know my 10 o'clock goes 160. So if I'm trying to go 165, I go just a little bit above 10 o'clock. It was super interesting. And then Sir Nick Faldo does the clock system as well, but he's a little more old school unorthodox. or maybe, you know what I mean? Like, it's just like he's more feel. So, like, Sir Nick was like, for this one,

I'm going to go 10 o'clock and then I'm going to wrap it around my neck. And then, like, when he wanted to hit at 145, Sir Nick was like, I'm going to go 9 o'clock and I'm going to chicken wing it out because that's how I get that less, that's how I take those less five yards off. And you can kind of tell Bryson was like, I don't even know what that means. But, like, it was funny, like Sir Nick's over the ball. And he's like, all right, I'm just going to take it back to nine. and I'm a chicken wing out.

And he does it. And it goes like 146. It was pretty interesting, like how much, how different one guy's swing is because he's a robot. And the other guy's swing is because he's just got that feel over the years. He knows if he just yanks his left arm, it goes that way. It was pretty cool. Yeah, it's a different philosophy. Yeah, we talked about that with Tiger video, the tailor-made thing where he's like,

Jason Day and him where Jason Day was like, dude, talk to us like you're a human being. Because Tiger's like, yeah, I just slow my hands down. And Jay's day, who's like, what are you even? what are you doing out here? How did you get your way to hurt? Yeah, when Fowler was like I wrap it around my neck to get that extra 10 yards. It's a great lie. I was like, I don't know.

There was one shot too that that Bryson hit that they were going for like 160. And right when Bryson made contact, he goes, oh boy, that's on the money. And it drops. And he looks back and goes, was that like 161? And they're like, yep, 161. He just knew, and that was fucking horrifying. So good. If you hit a golf shot, if I gave you a seven iron and I was like, all right, hit it and then in the air telling me the distance of that ball, I don't know that you'd come within eight yards if I give you five tries.

You're just going to say your stock number. You're just going to like, yeah, we're 85 to 1.9. But I still think if you usually hit your 7.180, I think you're hitting that thing like 171 or like. You know what I mean? There's no chance you knew. There's no chance you knew. These guys are just different. And it's not the same thing. but in the Roy video that we just put out,

when we asked him, didn't we ask him like, what's the yardage there? And we like made him guess and he was like a couple of yards off. Like they, I mean, they've just seen it over and over and over again.

And it's different, but it's similar in that like, they just know everything that's going on at all times and they can just eyeball it. Right. Yeah, because he said, I think it was right when he stepped off the tee.

It was like, because I think he had a six iron like two 40 out of the gate or something like that. Because it was downwind and he made a guess on it. I think that's where it was. was because then he only had, I don't know, 190 in, he kind of shortened it up and then pulled a little left. But it's crazy. I mean, yeah, it shows you what practice does because the boys in this room are not practicing

the game ago. Nope, not even close. Owens craft mixtures, okay? We know Owens. We know Owens incredibly well. Owens gives anybody the ability to make a high-quality cocktail right at home.

He's been posting that video of her hitting a shot and we were down at the President's Cup in Melbourne, Australia. 25 years old, completely dominant, clearly the best player in the world, number one ranked player in the world, just won the most recent major a few weeks ago, or a few months ago, the Australian Open in her home country, which was emotional and super cool,

dominated the field, didn't lose a set the entire time, one of the easiest grand slam major wins in tennis history and then just fucking retired. It's crazy. I mean, it's just, yeah, go ahead. 25 year old number one in the world, I'm done. Well, no, I got a question because that'll lead you into more of an explanation that. Can you give a comparison to a different sport? Like, what would this be like if it happened in, you know, golf or basketball or hockey?

Like that's because I don't know anything about tennis, really. I would just like to get some sort of gauge on the gravity of this retirement. Yeah, it's a good question. Because she's not like the most dominant player of all time, but she's number one in the world at 25. So it's like an Eric, I don't know, an Eric Lindra who had like a P.

I don't know, that's not, that's not actually. Trent, I would say it'd be like, it'd be like Jordan Speeth in like 2016 or something. Really good. Stuntary.

And then won the U.S. Open. And then a year or two later, he wins the British Open. He's got three majors. He's like the hottest thing in the sport. And then he just retired. That's a huge deal.

That would have been a massive deal. Yeah. I would say that's pretty darn close. Like, I think that's actually a pretty good comparison. She has done this, what I think? Earlier in her career, she retired and played, I want to say cricket for maybe 18 or 20 months. And then came back and lit the world on fire in like a year. She was back inside the top 20, went on a tariff.

of majors. I just look, she earned like over $23 million. You know, she's 25 years old. She's got the whole world in front of her. She's accomplished kind of everything that you could in the game of tennis. And then I would say the thing about tennis that's exhausting is your court, like, do you ever have any buddies that were on the swim team and they just kicked in the pool for just felt like an eternity? And it's like, what did you do today? Like we kickboarded from like 4 a.m. to eight in element school. Like, that's a little bit like tennis where you need to be on court all the time where you're hitting backhand down the line, backhand down the line, then cross court.

I think they say there's like 180 shots or something like in tennis that you have to master. And so it's a complete grind. It's, yeah, it's wild, you know? Like, I love there because she was like, she was definitely an athlete brought into the tennis world. So it was just fun to watch her play and she just grinded through it. But it's a crazy, it's a crazy leave. You think of someone in 25 that just wants to like get on top.

And we talk to somebody not long ago, it's like it's hollow once you're on top. Like you achieve all this. It might have been actually Trevor Immelman where it's like you get to the top. And then it's like what's at the top of the mountain? And then you actually realize that like there's not, you don't feel like continually fulfilled by that mission. And so maybe it's some of that. I think there will be more to come on like what she wants to do next. But yeah, it was fun watching her play.

Maybe she'll return down the road. She doesn't have a U.S. Open singles title. So we'll see. I was texting with our resident barstool tennis expert last night, Eric Hubbs, because I was just stunned by this. It caught me. Came across my Twitter radar. I said, holy, wait, what?

So I text Hubbs, got a little more information. And he was saying she retired back in 2014. She was very young. before any success. She was having, she was just basically, couldn't really handle the whole thing as she was becoming pretty big. And again, this is 2014. So it's eight years ago. So she's 25 now. She's 17-ish then. He said this is totally different. She's 25 unanimous best player in the world, number one for three plus years straight, annihilated everybody at the Aussie a few months ago. $24 million she's made, and that's not counting endorsements for Australia. He said she's like

LeBron over there in Australia. She's massive. Um, and then said she's got press conference today. So maybe she said some more today. Um, but he thinks ultimately she just didn't want to travel anymore and was burnt out to a lurch's point of just like, no, I'm just all set. I, this is not like, I'm just all set. All right. So she's 25 years old might have 50 million dollars in the bank. And it's like, I'm out of here. Like that's that's that is. And that's fine. Right. And most people wouldn't do that because the people who get to those heights are so competitive and so driven that they don't even, it's, that they don't even care about the money. They don't care about the accolades. They just want to dominate and beat everybody. But every once in a while, somebody's going to come

along where they have all those skills and they are at least partially competitive. They're going to accumulate a ton of wins and a ton of money and then be like, oh, I'm out of here. See you later. I don't have to do anything for the rest of my life that I don't want to do. And that is going to be a fucking amazing life for her if that's what she wants to do yeah it's amazing that people don't do it more often the athletes don't just do this we talk about it all the time like why is tiger even still playing golf he's putting himself through crazy amounts of pressure and strain and agony and and pain to be able to just come back in golf it's because he literally can't do anything else it's his whole life that's just why that's why he is tiger woods and for her she just doesn't love the game

apparently like as much as these other people do and like she's retired twice she's only 25 years old. That's not someone that's committed to the game as other people are. She's been committed to get to the level that she's at. She's the greatest in the world. She's dominated her sport. But you can't argue that she loves that game as much as the person that plays until their 60 is, you know what I mean? There's no chance. She's retired every chance she's gotten. I mean, it's like it's a retirement tour for her every three years. So I mean, like, we can't, like, we can't feel bad about that part. Like she's just probably going to come back and retire another time. Like if we're doing, if we're doing the math, like 10 more,

years come down a lot. She plays at the Ozzy Open and then retires again. We're all just like, oh shit, shit, here she goes again. But, um, you know, good for her and she has a shit ton of money. It's amazing that people don't do this more often. Like I don't, all the time. I don't agree. I actually don't agree with that. I do. When I see athletes getting absolutely shit on by like, like, Russell Westbrook right now, his day to day fucking sucks. They're like throwing things at him. He's like crying and in like post game press conferences saying stop being mean to me. Like my kids, my kids don't respect me anymore because of the. the names that you're calling me, stop calling me Westbrook.

Like, dude, just go home and like never do this again. You have like $300 million, however much money Westbrook has. Like, you don't have to do anything ever. So, like, stop dealing with this. But that's more to the point of there, he, what, like, what's the reason then? Why is he doing it? He's a competitive guy who loves basketball. And I think that that is 99.9% of the people who get as far as a guy like Russell or this

tennis player and the only thing different about this tennis player is that she is the name what's her name oh fuck ash party her name is ash my nice tread i was i did not think you i thought you were dead to rights right there you guys you guys sniffed that out in two seconds you probably yeah good to see you too man buddy ash barred you would have gotten away with it if you just said this tennis player once but you're like you said this tennis player back to back i'm like this guy doesn't know that name No. Ash Barty is the exception to the rule where she made all this money. And like you said, Frankie, she just doesn't love it as much. But she's good enough to make all this money.

And now she's going to go the other way. But I think everybody else, we just never see it. Because it makes sense in our brains because we're not those people. Where if we, oh, we're like, oh, if we had all that money and I'm 27 or however old you are when you get your, after your big contract, I'd go Splitsville and I'd go to a beach. but I'm not that person. So it's hard to put yourself in those shoes. Ash Barty happens to have a little bit of both and now she's going wherever she wants.

Also, in the tennis, it's easier because it's a personal sport. You're not like letting a team down. It's sad for the game of tennis at some point because fans of tennis want to see her continue her reign, I'm assuming, because that's just fun to watch the best of the best. Big show focused on the game of tennis here. It's devastating for us to see that long. Yeah.

I mean, I did notice that the PJ Superstore has just a huge section that says tennis. So, I mean, there is a massive connection. There's a crossover. There's a country club sports. Yeah, it's all country club, white outfits, horrifying type of stuff that happens in those locker rooms. But at the end of the day,

those people all suck that just do bold. Like, I'm going to go to tennis and play golf. I just don't like the conversations that happen. What do you think they talk about? I don't know. It's like, no, the salmon was overcooked. So all I want to say about this is that, I don't remember.

I don't remember. I don't remember. I don't remember what I was going to say. I got to be honest. It's completely, I completely don't remember. Oh, it's not a team sport.

So like Aaron Judge, I'm a Yankee fan. Like Aaron Judge gets a $200 million contract from the Yankees and then it says like, peace. I'm out of here. I'm like, well, like,

I want to kill you now because we like dedicated our time, our life, our money to be fans of the sport and like you're our outfielder and like, we need you to play now. Like that's what the Yankees and like my team. has dedicated all this time to like make sure that you're this outfield if you just leave i mean it's covalchuk with the devils like the new jersey devils did everything they could to not trade covalchuk and bring him in and like give him this huge contract lu lamorella signed the guy for like what was it

like a 10 year ridiculous record breaking contract and then he just left and went to russia and no one saw him ever again and they're just like well we could have been developing a much better team surrounding 10 times the amount of prospects and young players as opposed to offering you all this money and missing out on free agents like that's where it gets crazy where it's like no you're you've like made your bed you got to sleep in it like you are now playing this sport for me now like i'm the fan you're playing for me like that's why you make that much money she has earned it like on her own personal level tennis and golf to me you're able to do whatever the fuck you want in that situation you just described did that guy fulfill his contract or did he just leave

He just bounced. And I think there was a decent amount of guaranteed money on that contract. Yeah, I think he also, though, left a good amount on the table. I think he left a decent amount on the table, too. Anytime you're dealing with Russia with going on over there now. But like, it always felt with a Russian hockey player too. You never really like there's that Andrew Rudolf or Radulov. Like, he's come back and forth a couple times.

Can't make up his mind where he wants to be. Well, the islanders have Elias Sorokin, our goalie. It took five years to get him over here. We had to get Varlamov, who was already in the NHL, to come over here and kind of, like, lure him over. If you look at the Islander's roster the last three years, there's like a bunch of Russians on the team to try and talk to him to be like, no, this is a good place to come and play.

And we love him now. I mean, he's amazing. Do they get treated like kings in Russia as the Russian hockey players? Is that the situation? Dude, you got to see those games over there. It's nuts. But anyways, on the Ash Party side, I think, like, yeah, I mean, she probably also wants to have kids, family, whatever.

She's 25, you've got a ton of money. And then I think, like, some of those players just, like, they gain, I don't know, they get there. And I think it's almost similar to Rory a little bit, like, gain perspective a little bit. You see there's other things to this life. And I don't think Rory's, like, you know, hitting as many balls as he used to to to achieve the top of the mountain, honestly right now of, like, where he is. And I think Ash, like, found that same spot.

Bold state, I think Rory's mailing it in a little bit? didn't we talk about that in a podcast before of just like he just probably he's not I don't want to talk about it with Ricky I think we've talked about it with Ricky a little bit I certainly would not want to speak ill of a guy we just did a video with that is crushing on you too that's not speaking ill no no I'm gonna I think that there has been a conversation like that surrounding no I'm I'm gonna I'm actually gonna sort of agree with with Lurcher that there has been a conversation surrounding Rory like that for years about like...

I want you all to know that the next time this Ash Party retires we'll talk about it again. Okay. I guarantee if no one brings it up to Frankie, will you know? It was all over Twitter yesterday. I definitely saw that.

Yeah, that Ash Barthys plays... She'll come back back. She'll come back to last tennis. Everyone knows she's going to play tennis at some point, right? I'm putting my steak in the ground saying she's never playing again. Bro, fuck off, dude. Oh, Brady. Listen, Brady's already...

I know. playing tennis. I know more about Ash Barty than everybody on this podcast combined. She ain't coming back. I've talked to her in the last 20 minutes and she said, yeah, you know, it's all just like a thing I'm going through. I'll be back on set. Female tennis player from Australia that we're talking about. Yeah, she's going to come back.

She's going to come back and play. I think there's, I have no doubt about that. But, you know, it's two against two on this show. So we'll see. It reminded me of I looked up a little bit of Bobby Jones. Bobby Jones retired at age 28 in 1930. On September 27, 1930, he became the only man to win all four major titles in one season, completing the Grand Slam of Golf.

Then while still in his athletic prime at the age of 28, he retired from competition to devote more time to his family and to his law practice. He won seven majors, nine PGA tour wins, and the $1930. And $200. Grand Slam. Obviously, it's different 100 years ago, clearly, from, you know, he could just make more money being a lawyer than he could be the best golfer in the world. That's insane.

Dude, Brando put up a clip of Hogan playing back in the day in, like, the Western Open. And, like, he was basically going back and forth with someone about how, like, people nowadays don't realize that so many other things were considered majors throughout the history of golf. And it's interesting to see how. much the record books have changed. Like at one point, they counted all of Jack Nicholas's amateur wins, like his US AMs as major. So like then they took, they took a couple off the board for him. At one point, he had 20. And then, you know, it's crazy how much it's changed. But yeah, there was a Western Open that like, it's interesting, like, why that stuff just kind of vanishes and how golf is kind of just, I guess all sports have done it. Right. The NIT used to be the main

tournament, March Madness. It's crazy. I guess all sports have done it. Right. And then as it gets like, At that time, like as it gets pushed further into the future and it becomes more solidified and the money gets bigger, like things become more clear cut, I would imagine. Because there are in every sport, you go back and it's like, who won? Like it's not, it wasn't even the Super Bowl. It's like the NFL championship or like there's all these weird and the NBA, ABA, like, there's all this weird stuff. But then I think as you get pushed and the money gets bigger, you have to draw these lines of like what's a title and what's not. And there's still some gray area with golf. The Rangers won three Stanley Cups for.

for polio was cured. Like, how do we ever, how do we ever compare those to guys winning Stanley Cups in like the fucking 20th century? Didn't you, we,

didn't we count like Sam Sneeds, 82 wins or whatever and like some. We were gonna audit it. There was one where he won against, the local golf club and there was like eight women that like just joined because they couldn't find enough people to play and like he just won it by a thousand strokes

and they're like, win. It's insane. Win. I want it on record, by the way. If I were to win a golf tournament, like the players with that purse,

I would retire and I wouldn't even show up to the trophy ceremony. I would be gone. Like that, but I'm not the type of person who would ever win that tournament, so it's not going to happen. But that's the type of person I am. If I won, what was it,

$3.6 million, I would just head right to the parking lot. And I would just go out. So you wouldn't see that you have the potential to then win another couple million since you just like won, like arguably a major golf tournament. You just got to enter the rest of the tournaments for the year. I mean,

you've got to enter all those tournaments. I would definitely see it. I mean, I would understand what's happening, but there is a part of me that would just be like, that's four million bucks. Like, what do I, what else do I need? Do I need more than four? Depends on where you're getting that money.

If you get in New York, you're getting absolutely fucked. If you're getting in Florida, you're going to get that money. Here we go. Yeah, no, I would take it and probably run. Maybe a couple more terms because that does get you a ton of exemptions. So I'd maybe do a couple more and throw my hat in the ring. But other than that, I would, I'd be pretty happy. Anamules.

He looks large. I saw a few tweets that were saying he didn't quite look as big maybe with some of his videos that were coming out of his swing recently. but they look pretty fucking massive on TV right now. Still the big hitting golfer. Yeah. Big hitting golfer. Jordan. Is it a T-shirt?

Jordan says, What's up, boys? Just wondering what happened to the theme music? Answer is that, I don't know, a year or so ago, whenever we got rid of it, basically ambulance chasers were coming around, and any music that was being used was just illegal or borderline illegal or could potentially be illegal if somebody went after it. It would be massive fines.

and issues and complications. So we just had to remove it from the show. I get a lot. We get a lot of those, actually, people ask and what happened to the theme music. We should make our own. We all just kind of make noises. You're the musical guy.

Let's put something together. You're the composer. Let's go Beethoven. Give us a bone structure of something that we could then, like maybe I'll play an instrument on it or, you know, somebody to do some vocals. Like that would be, and it can't be horrible.

Like, actually, it has to have some sort of, it has to be a real song because we don't want people to turn on podcast and be like, are we going for like a rock theme going into it? Or are we trying to do Augusta piano style? Like what kind of vibe are we trying to lead people into the into the episode? Or is that up to me to decide? I think you give us options because I know so little about music and the composition of music that I don't think I can come up with anything. I mean, it's the start of the show. You hit them with like a heavy rock. I don't know if that's the right way to do it. I think like a nice

lead in piano thing would be better. A heavy metal like, wow. Like, it's crazy that when you guys hear the term rock, that that's what you think of. I didn't, right? I didn't. But Lurch took us that way. He took us that way. I just think like a guitar is a little.

Like, rock could be the Eagles. Like, I mean, you think take it easy as fucking screaming. No. I like, I do like a little rock. It's got to be a beat, right? We're trying to get people like jazzed up for the show. No, I think our vibe is like, I'm trying. try um whatever like uh what about like uh like c c r oh just kind of that i love that shit that makes

me feel good yeah you know all right frankie hates it so fighters oh my god yeah let's just get dave groll to make us a um an intro so why don't we get like what i mean we have all the country like friends of all time we should just have like jaco and make us a specific i mean or just like any of those guys right i'm sure they would make us a specific i'm sure they make us a specific specific intro that's not going to get fucking copywritten. That's insane that we haven't thought of that. We don't. That's a,

we don't think very well. No, but that's good. I mean, Chris Lane, Jake Owen, all these guys. We have them on all this.

Shee. Chase Rice, Shane Mooney. Matt is Shay Mooney and just belting out. It's far. It's just going to be. Now the question is, what's,

the question is, what's actually going to cost? because I'm sure we want it done for free. No, dude, they will not do it for free. Bro, just like, hey, man. I think they would. For like 10 seconds when you're in the studio, just like record a little deadly for us

and we're going to stick it there and like everyone will know. I mean, it's free publicity for them. Like, it's just if they crush the intro, it's just 10 seconds. Like everyone's going to be listening to Shay Mooney every time they listen to a podcast. Shea Mooney definitely needs us to pop up and promo.

I know. I'm just saying, well, they fucking promote their songs. It's not like they don't fucking promote their shit. no I agree with you it is a little bit like you know asking your photographer friend to just come you know photograph your wedding for free

and then they're like yeah yeah no it's 10 grand and you're like no I thought we were friends like well I have I have a job I do for work yeah exactly we'll send them uh we'll send them a couple hoodies a couple head covers it'll be good hey you're you're a designer right

why don't you just build me a website real quick for like maybe can you just do that since like we got a beer one time that'd be lovely oh shit Okay, anybody have anything else Anything going on there? I gotta go pick up a U-Haul right now

Fairy point Ferry point First time ever playing it I'm really excited for it It's actually awesome It's fantastic But I've got a crazy bad pain in my back So it's like I'm kind of thinking about

Dropping out But also just thinking about You got the outfit You got the G4s, you got the blues and the grays. You think I should wear that? I don't know. Definitely. There?

Fits the bill of goods, nice. I got bad summer in this week in Myrtle Beach. Guys, oh, we got to talk about before we leave.

I want to be late to this thing. We got to talk about this fucking place we went to in Myrtle Beach. Holy shit, dude. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? me right now. We went to Pirates Voyage, a Dolly Parton experience across the

away from the hotel. We're coming out of the parking lot from this fucking hotel. We're on our way to the Barstall Classic. I'm telling you guys right now, I've never fallen in love with a place more than I've fallen in love with Myrtle Beach. It is tourist city. I am obsessed with it. There's stores. There's carnivals. It's

clean. It's beautiful. I'm obsessed. What do I see right across the street from the hotel? I see this place called the Pirates Voyage. And underneath that, it says a Dolly Parton experience. I don't even know what the fuck that means. What I know it means is that I had to be there. It had the side and the, it had the structure,

the building of the structure of a Disney ride where it had all these like these ladders that you knew that like some sort of stories happening inside and maybe they got to run outside and get, dude, I knew it. Like it smelled like a Disney ride. It smelled like you can tell the water was in there. Bro, we go to this barso classic. Everything goes great. Thank you, Grand Dunes.

We go to do a commercial shoot. Shout out to Truly. We do that. We're looking at everyone being like, we got to get to this show by 6 o'clock. And if I was telling Rob the director, if we don't get to this show, I'm going to fucking burn the blaze down.

We get to the show like 10 minutes late. So the lights are already down. When I tell you guys this experience, it's dinner and it's a show, a show that you've never seen before. The most impressive people on the planet happen to be inside Pirates Voyage, Adali Parton experience.

they're flipping into the water. There's a seal that knows and remembers a 20-minute skit. And like, dude, I'm telling you right now, he waved like that. Salty. Salty the seal. Cutest little thing you've ever seen in your entire life. And I asked, or someone asked in the group, does he have a good life? And they said, yes, he has a great life. So that's been answered already.

I see the face you're making, Trent. Salty has a great life. They sell salty merch and he loves it. somebody goes, can I post about this? There's this kind of animal abuse and it was right as like our waitresses walking by. She's like, salty has a phenomenal life. We're all like, perfect. That's all we needed to hear.

Oh, yeah, dude. I mean, it's just. I've been to Murdo of few times for buddy trips. It's a great place down there. It's just golf, core, steakhouses, and fun. Essentially what it is is, it's medieval times. If anyone's gone to medieval times, I know there's one in New York.

I think there's a couple. Oh, the Dolly Parton is. The Dolly Parton Place. It is, it's a show that you've never seen. It's a movie. And you're eating a chicken wing and you've got potatoes and you've got biscuits and gravy. And they're coming over with huge, huge pictures of Coca-Cola and diet Coca-Cola. And they're just filling you up every two seconds.

And like, there's dogs running across planks. It's nuts, dude. It's an experience I've never had before. And I loved every second of it. I'm a theatrics guy. Yeah, that sounds like a great rally. Dude, it was excellent. And it was the staff, the performers were so into it.

Well, but, you know, they're jumping off last. doing flips and shit into this pool. And the one guy like, you know, he climbs out of the pool. And then he just turns to the crowd and goes, let's go! As he was like running back to do another flip on the ladder. So they were into it. They had sea lions at one point. They had dogs.

They had little doggies that would run and jump off the bridges into the water. And then they had like logs. They did like the logs across. And the different performers were like doing contests to see who could run across the logs and out falling in. And then all of a sudden this little puppy came and just sprinted across. crowd went wild. It was amazing.

And you get a delicious dinner throughout the entire thing. Amazing chicken. Just the biggest piece of chicken you've ever seen with just like salty, fried or grilled? Fried or grilled? Rotissary chicken. Just fucking. Yikes.

How good is that? So good. So good. Fried chicken. Just. It wasn't fried. It was like a rotisserie thing. What?

I know what you're saying. It's like a baked chicken. Boiled. I guess. I don't know. Not a chef, but deep fried. It was good. It was fried.

Yeah, just enough breading. I think you're thinking of like Kentucky fried chicken. Yeah, but it was the whole chicken just fried. Yeah. Like those, you buy them from the supermarket. Yep. Yeah, okay. That's still good.

Myrtle is great. We're going to explore that place more this summer and get the full experience. We're going to do a little travel series. We're going to capture some more activities. around that area. I might have to hit that one with you fellas because I think you would enjoy it. Okay, I'm finished here.
