Fore Play - The Highest Stakes for Masters Takes

Episode Date: April 11, 2019

Questions from Augusta. Is Jack Nicklaus fucking with Tiger with his “easiest 64 ever” comments? Is Phil trolling everyone with hundreds hanging out of his pockets on the range at Augusta? Has there ever been a bigger week for Mr. Notahfications? Is Augusta putting the USGA and R&A on the hot seat with their distance comments? Are the Reeds the Kardashians of golf? Is Brooks Koepka undergoing the biggest self-sabotage in sports history, as Brandel says? We also got Lurch's Masters Takes and some From The Galleries, like: If you could play Augusta with 3 other living people, who would you choose and why???You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.

Hey, 4Play listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. It's not even Masters' week. It is Masters' time. You are listening to this. It is Thursday. The Masters has pretty much begun the best week of the year. It's not even close, even beyond the Masters.

I mean, Frankie, you're a huge Islanders fan. I'm a big blues fan. We are recording this, of course, on Wednesday. Neither of those teams have played yet. Frankie's going on the game tonight. If you are listening to this right now, which I know you are, the Islanders have already played their first game. And people are, I mean, depending on when you are listening to it, people are just teeing off at Augusta. Yep.

This is a fucking hell of a day, boy. Isn't that crazy? Hell of a day. You are people out there right now, you are having an unbelievable experience where you're just on the Internet or you're on TV and you're just watching people play golf at Augusta National. It's amazing. It's an amazing thing. We got a lot to get to. A lot has happened since a day ago or a day and a half ago, and we did our show at 3 a.m.

on Monday night slash Tuesday morning. What do you guys usually say in that situation? Do you say you did it Monday night or do you say you did it Tuesday morning? Well, we did it at such a time where I think you got to say Tuesday morning. Someone, I think Marina was like, how come you guys did it so early? And I was like, well, fuck you. We did it late. We did it unbelievable late.

We did it late, but it was Tuesday morning. Don't say, why did you do it so early? Like, as if like, oh, it's the crack of dawn. Let's go do the fucking podcast. No. Oh, I just like, I just It was like the end of the night Did you hear that?

Was that just, was that in my headphone? That was that happens all the time. Unbelievable noise. I didn't hear it. Yeah, no, I'm giddy. But yeah, it was, it was definitely late, late, late. I still haven't recovered to be honest. Yeah, it was like 1.45 until 3.15 in the morning or something like that, however long we did it.

So I guess, I don't know if you say night. I don't know if you say morning. We'll figure it out. Anyways, you know who's got to figure it out? Supreme Golf is the best. We actually just booked some tea times, playing a little golf on. Saturday morning. We're going to be done by around noon.

We're going to watch all the golf. The second you asked me if I want to play golf, I said, oh, yeah. And then my elbows started to hurt. Oh, no. I'm going to go through it. You swung so beautifully in Minnesota. I think I slept on it again last night. I need braces that keep my arms flat.

But Supreme Golf, if you can continuously get us these tea times with this amazing app, I'm going to have no choice with I have no elbows because I have to play golf. You got to play when it's that good of a deal. When it's that discounted, it's that easy to book. You get the clean app. It's fun to use the app. That app is so clean. We've been getting so many DMs and messages about the Spring app that every time I see a screenshot of it,

I like say, whoa, like, look at that app. I don't even know if they need to do discounts anymore. They just, you just will have fun booking T-ty. The color scheme is right up my alley. What a scheme. It is Islanders colors. Huge. I don't love that.

Anyway, Supreme Golf, they are the best. Go check them out. Go down their app. Go to SpringGoff.com. Slash barstool, I think, is what we're doing. Where is it slash? Yeah, I think it's Barstool. where we've got the code.

Somebody figure that out for me. Where we've got the, they're doing the whole thing where they're giving away $1,000, like 10 times, which is $10,000. Between now, I believe, in August 1st. I don't have all that in front of me. I'm pretty sure that's correct. Somebody can correct me if I am wrong. Love spring golf. Masters, a ton to get to.

A ton has happened since the last time that we spoke, which I said earlier was just like a day and a half ago. Before we get to that, I want to mention that I'm currently getting viral cucked on the Internet. I'm not happy about it. Getting what? Viral cucked. That's a hell of a term. Somebody tweeted my tweet, Frankie, my sunscreen tweet. Somebody tweeted it verbatim yesterday.

He's got like 120,000 likes. Oh, but you were way more than that, weren't you? Yeah, but it's been like half a meal. It's been half a day. The guy's already got that. How long did it take yours to take off like that? I mean, less than like maybe three or four hours it started going crazy. Okay.

But still, it's not like, I mean, he's going to get hundreds of thousands of impressions. Yeah, that's a cuck. And likes impressions, you know, where you go. Uh, hmm. Viral cuck for sure. And you are right that there's nothing you can do about it. People are trying to tell me that he's a tweet Decker. He's a, I go through the guy's timeline and he's got, he's a what?

People tweet Decker. People are like tweeting these terms at me. Like this is a common thing. He's one of these people who this is like a, this is a strategy that people employ. If you go through his timeline, like every couple days he tweets, and all he does is he just literally copy paste the exact caption and like a video that, has gone viral in the past, and he just goes viral. He's got like 50,000 retweets on everything that he posts. Folks, we call that stealing.

I don't know about tweet Decker or all the terms of throwing at you, but that's just stolen, that's stolen stuff. It's viral cucking. I got viral cucked. That's a good term for it, too. There's nothing I can do. I can't. Do you feel, do you feel like you are adding to it by giving him attention?

No, he's not going to far. He's got 110,000 likes. What do you mean? Well, you being like, look at this guy who's doing this thing to me. I think it's going to make him go even more viral. Okay, by like a couple thousand or something at the point when he's getting $150,000? I can't not comment on. You just let people walk into your house and steal all your shit and go, well, I don't want to say anything because I don't want to draw more attention.

Well, this can't be the first time this has happened. What? For someone stealing that tweet. But nobody's gone viral with it. I see. I mean, I don't know what you can do. You're acting like I'm supposed to just be okay with getting viral card. This is crazy.

Well, I don't know what you can do about it, but bringing attention to it seems like a weird idea. So you're saying that people are not call the guy out for being a thief People now are going to go to this new guy's tweet and just like the shit out of it and retweet it I think making it a bigger deal is definitely going to make it much bigger But you don't have any principle Behind you know I would have ignored the shit out of this dude He can't just stand by and get viral cocked I don't understand that you have no principle behind you whatsoever

Not with no not with that feels great to call this guy out as a fraud I'm responding to his tweets I'm fucking I'm just saying when he passes you in numbers you're it's going to be those couple thousand Maybe that fucked you over This is crazy to me In my opinion You have to be out there defending yourself You have to be out there calling this guy a fraud

A thief Some people I believe Have been calling him Plagerizing Mike Even though his name Champagne Mike With two E's pretty good Plagiarizing Mike

This fucking guy Champagne Mike It's driving me crazy It can't He also he's just ignoring me And then he's mocking me And some of his response tweets Oh really

Yeah See it's a game to him now He also he tweeted it at 748 p.m. About sunscreen He goes, some dude just called me Pustra sunscreen. Nobody puts on sunscreen at 8 o'clock at night. It's not a thing. Yeah, he doesn't even make sense.

He's very much just in it for the numbers. It's fucking garbage. This guy is garbage. It's frustrating. Anyways, Masters. Augustine National. Tiger Woods. We got to talk about this.

Jack Nicholas, this quote, kind of going a little viral today. Tiger, of course, it's the master. Everybody's talking about Tiger. He's won there four times. He hasn't won a major in 11 years. It's a crazy town. This guy, John Stridge,

Stredge, tweeted out. Jack Nicholas on Golf Channel. I've never seen Tiger this confident. I played with him three weeks ago. He shot the easiest 64 I've ever seen with total ease, no effort. He hit every single fairway. I see what you're doing Jack Nicholas. I see right through you. Okay. Everybody is going to be piling on him being like, oh my God, Jack is saying such nice things about Tiger. This is great. One goat to another. Keep saying these things. Oh, I love that Tiger's playing one. I love that Jack saw it. I see right fucking through you, Jack Nicholas. We are on to Jack Nicholas. Really? Is that what we're doing right now? That's how I feel. As soon as I heard this, I knew what he was doing.

You know how I feel right now? No offense to Jack Nicholas, but fuck Jack Nicholas. You see what he's out here doing, Frankie? I see what he's doing, but I guess I'm not looking... What kind of comment is this? This is very Littlefinger-esque. Is that what you're saying? Exactly. Every tournament with this guy, he's talking about how perfect Tiger wins. Oh, oh, he looks perfect. I don't even know. Next thing you know, he's going to be like, you know what? It's impossible for Tiger not to win the Masters. Right. It's impossible. And then everybody's going out there talking, oh, Tiger's playing perfect. expectations, the bar goes higher and higher and higher, and pressure gets higher and higher,

it becomes significantly harder for our guy to perform. Meanwhile, Jack's over here, drop of these comments, he knows they're going to go viral, he knows we're going to tweet about it, we're going to Instagram about him, and then he's just going to, he's just going to slink into the corner and laugh as Tiger, like, you know, finishes even par 15 shots behind Patrick Reed. He shot the easiest 64 I've ever seen with total ease, no effort. The people who are buying this hook. The people who are buying this hookline sink are going to sit there and tell me the guy with 18 majors,

one of the greatest champions of all time is talking up the guy who potentially could pass him. The only guy in the world who could pass him potentially. He's going to sit there and be like, oh, yeah, he's playing great. I'd love to see it. Keep winning, keep shooting effortless 64s. Get the fuck out of here. What is that? No effort.

He was sitting in the car and he just hit the ball 64 times from the cart. Whoa. Okay, Jack. The only thing that brings me comfort is no. knowing that Tiger knows what Jack is, what Jack's doing. Tiger sees that and is like, all right, buddy. Like, I know what you're doing. Fuck that.

You know what Tiger reads it? And he goes, this fucking guy. Yes. And that's what he says. Definitely. This fucking guy. Right. Everybody, like I said, everybody's like, oh, this is such a nice thing.

I love seeing this. Tiger is this fucking guy. You know, after this conversation, you and I had this conversation before the show and you opened my eyes to it. And I decided then I have to go change my caption on my Instagram. I Instagram the quote, I fell right into the bear's trap Right into his fucking trap

I mean that's what he was I would have fell into the trap too But you guys have turned you turned my fucking You turn my head around so fast that you Like I was ready to say Jack Nicholas like I want to go like Give him a fucking Cali Dap right now We almost should have let Frankie have that one

We should have walked him into it I know because like oh We could have held his There's nothing better than hearing about how good Tiger is looking Going into this fucking weekend Why don't you want to hear that But then now that you've exposed him You've exposed old Jack

We could have taken a nice little piece of salmon and lured you right into the old bear trap there frank you would have fucking walked right into it on the sheet where like is jack nicholas sandbagging tiger i was like what what kind of comment is this he shot the easiest 64 i've ever seen oh really that you've ever seen jack nicholas you're fucking 90 years old you've been playing golf for a hundred years that's the easiest one you've ever seen get the fuck out of you jack nicholas i yeah that's garbage i can't believe he's trying he's doing this i can't either but i'm glad that we are part of of the truth and we are part of the light.

We can shine it on this, this, whatever this is. And, uh, you know, this is ugly. It's ugly. It's ugly. So Jack's got to be fucking better than this. He can't be doing this. So I never, like, let me tell you something. Like, how much more respect and how much more interesting would it be if he was like, all right, yeah, he shot at 64.

He looked okay. But, you know, Tiger's getting up there in age. You might not be able to do it for that long. And he's probably not going to get to my record and fuck him. Like, that would have been so much better. And that'd be bolted board material. Tiger pin that up there right next to the records, and it would inspire him and fire him up.

Oh, yeah, the bear just being like easiest 64 I've ever seen. Never seen. Are you fucking kidding? You're right. He's trying to lull Tiger and do a false sense of comfort. No, no, no. Tiger's not buying that. Everybody else is, but not us and not Tiger.

He's one step away from going, oh, what he finished today? Dead last? Yeah, I heard he had a good day, though. One step away from that. Get out of here, Jack Nicholas. Another thing I can talk about the Tiger, logo on Tiger's shirt. I think he calls it Frank. What's that about? I think he calls his head cover. You know, he has the time of head cover, which is awesome. Awesome. It's amazing. Awesome. It's the

fluffiest thing I've ever seen. He asked about his shirt. It's so fluffy. I bet that thing caught it. I bet that was like a $5,000 head cover. I wouldn't be surprised that there's actual tiger, like, fur on that thing. It's got to be, right? Has to be. It has to be. The tiger kill with his bare hand. I was going to say that tiger will go on some big game hunting trip. You don't think that there's like tiger fur on the inside of that, right? Because you know, he doesn't want to get it with PETA and all this shit. The inside of that fucking Frank, is that what we're calling it? He calls it Frank. You said Frank.

You had, did you, you got to see the interaction between the reporter who asked this question and Tiger. The guy goes, what's on your shirt is when he's during the press conference wearing the Frank shirt, I guess we're calling it, like you said? And the guy goes, what's on your shirt there? And he goes, oh, that's my head cover, Frank. And the reporter goes, what? Tiger puts on one of his big old grins and he goes, it's Frank.

Like, and he's expecting the room to laugh. and the reporter goes, oh, okay. And then that's it. You know what this means for me, right? No. I mean, this is an icebreaker if I've ever seen one for when I meet Tiger Woods. Give it to me. What are you going to say?

Hey, Tiger, huge fan. Everything you do, I think is godly, and I look up to you like you're a saint. And by the way, my name's Frank. You know, like you're a head cover. I love it. You're in. You know? Like, you've been saying my name your whole life.

You guys are best friends, Frank. You know, I feel like I know you. I've been on your club for the fucking past 20 years. It reminded me of, uh, uh, the Billy Madison, where he's, like, wearing Frank's shirt. He's like, oh, no, I got their shirt from Frank. And then he pulls it up and it says Frank in the bottom of the shirt. That's just what that reminded me of.

But Frank, I guess it's strange that. Well, first of all, I would like to know how many of these shirts they sold it one day. Nike had to sell a billion of them. And two, how have we not heard about Frank before? Did he think of Frank? Like, on the spot? I think we have. It just didn't pick up much steam.

It felt like when he said that that I had heard that before. I just didn't really remember it. But I don't know. Cool shirt. It's a cool shirt. I'm into the shirt. Oh, yeah. You like the shirt?

Love the shirt. I wish we had thought of a shirt like that. He played with Kiz today. Who's growing one hell of a beard. It came out of nowhere. Where the hell that didn't come from? I've never seen him with a beard unless I just never really paid attention. He looked like Webb Simpson.

And it was like oddly, like he's trying to really have it to find going down. He didn't let it just like ruffle like down his neck. It's like it stops right at his jawline. So he's like he's trying to look like, he's trying to get a fit off. It's a miss. I think his beard is a miss. Kiz is trying to get a fit. I mean, I'm not want to be throwing shade of beards right now because I'm going through something that it's kind of tough.

Shade, beards, five o'clock shadow. Is that what you're doing there? Let's go. Hell yeah. I mean, not throwing shade of beard. That just destroyed my elbow. Come on. We just did Cali Dapman.

Sent a shock to my elbow you wouldn't believe. By the way, we're missing radio right now. How do you think that's going? Not great. You think Dave's like roasting us right now? We're in the other room recording this amazing podcast talking about the masses. Dave's in the room next to us. Just fucking.

And we're due up for it because we got a big compliment yesterday on the radio. Huge. Have you heard this trend? Oh, I saw the Deke Zucker quote. Dave said that he was so excited and so, like, impressed, I guess, the word. He didn't say these things, but he was so impressed, I would assume, with us getting in so late at 3 o'clock in the morning recording the first master's podcast that he was going to send out a company-wide email talking about how that's what you're supposed to do here. Like, people forget to work. And, by the way, the email never got sent down at all that. I check for it every two seconds all night.

No email. When's that email coming out? What's that coming? But yeah, you're right. We are due for one. You do have to be aware of that because, like, yeah, he builds you up, builds you up, builds you up, and you got to get ready to get body slammed, which is probably currently happening right now on national radio. Like you're in a goddamn Trent slumber.

Yes. The Hulk just comes into your room and slams you down after giving you a compliment. We are due. We're doing this there in radio because Frankie has to go straight to the call. See you and the collie for the game. We're not going to be able to do it later. So boom, here we are. We are.

We are recording the podcast. Yes. Kids and his weird beard. I played with Tiger today. I just looked up a picture of the beer. I thought it looked pretty good. Oh, you like to? Yeah.

I think it's... The side angle was weird. I thought the side angle, like Frankie said, where it kind of really shows he was really grinding over like the definition. Like he had to pull out some movie star look for the fucking Masters. I thought it was just not kids. I would imagine he has to be thinking, I didn't have a beard. I haven't had a beard in years past it to Masters.

So now, and I never won. So now maybe if I grow one, this little. be like the story that lifts me above and gives me a chance this week. Maybe he's just playoff beard. Yeah. It's hockey season. I love that. He played with Tiger today, which is very cool.

A couple picks of them walking around laughing together. I texted kids. I said, say sup to tight TW for me. He said 10-4. And then I said, like, are you serious? And he was like, no. And then I said, how is it playing out there today? He said, long, slow, wet.

So a little information for everybody. out there. That's pretty good. And then I said, any chance you want to come do the podcast this evening, I bet it's a hardcore no. And he goes, no chance.

And then I said, okay, but if you win, make me a deal that you'll come on after you win, and he goes, you can come on Kimmel with me. Oh. So if he wins, I'm going to hold him up to the fire

and say, you said I could come on Kimmel with you. I like it. That's our inside information from Kevin Kistner. That's massive for you, man. It's slow and wet. No chance he comes on the podcast, but you go on Kimmel. That's what we got.

That'll work. And then I said, you got yourself a deal and he never responded, which leads me to believe that he was just kidding. Yeah, no, you're not going to be on Kimmel. That's the inside information I got from Kiz. Tiger also had an unreal quote. He said, they asked him if he needed to win at Augusta. He said, I don't need to win at Augusta,

what I really want to, which got everybody pretty fired up, really fired up. And then he did go on to clarify about needing to win at Augusta in the past, which I thought was actually very, very interesting. You would think someone, especially Tiger, he kind of gives a lot of PR answers. Everybody knows that. They asked him, like, have you ever felt like you, like, needed to win here before? And he said, yeah, twice, actually.

He said the first time was 97. He had the, I believe, nine-shot lead going into the final round. That's, of course, the year that he won by 12 shots in his first official major as a pro. And he said that night, Saturday night, I knew I had to win. I just needed to win. You can't not wait in that situation. He said the year before, of course, Greg Norman had blown, I believe it was a six-shot lead that Greg Norman had blown in 96. Tiger was like, I needed to win that Masters.

And then the other one, of course, which is another great answer and very interesting insight, was him saying that he had to win in 2001. If people remember, he had won the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach by 15 shots. He won the British Open at St. Andrews by eight shots. He won at Valhalla, the PGA Championship, and an epic playoff over Burmobile. Bob May. That was the put where he chased the ball into the hole. Almost got to the hole before the fucking ball. Pointed and then ended up beating him in a playoff.

So we won three major championships in a row. There's like an eight or nine month layoff between the next major. All the hype, endless, endless hype. He said he got to ask the question every fucking event that he played at. He goes, I had to win that one, and I did. And that's, of course, the Tiger Slam. So pretty fucking legendary answers, to be honest with you. I had to win the one when I was up by nine, and I had to win the one to win all four in a row.

it's such a power answer, but it's true. Right. Yeah. He's like, no, I had to win those. He's got the stripes and the medals to talk like that, but it's just an insane couple of scenarios where, like, I have to win these. Because it's such a huge deal for everyone involved if I do or I don't. Both of those things are so far-fetched now. Like to imagine someone doing that now is so outrageous. I imagine someone having a nine-shot lead on Saturday night at Augusta?

No. and then imagine someone, and that's their first major that they've ever played in, is a pro? No. And then imagine what the fuck's going on right now? Imagine? Who the hell is this Ryan Johnson that's just absolutely tearing up the field? Guys is like 19 years old. What is he doing out there?

And then imagine a guy's coming off of three majors in a row that he's won by a combined 24 shots. And then it's like, oh, I had to win that one because I had just dominated the whole fucking world so badly for the last three that I had to win four in a row. Quite literally the only human being who's been in those positions. Had to do it. We agree. He's like, you know, you all know when you're in a situation like that, you just got away. It's like, no one knows what you're talking about. Right.

No, no one's ever been in that situation. Like, what are you talking about? Which does make it cool that he talked about it and, like, said those things. No, it is a very, it's very interesting and intriguing insight because you don't think you're usually going to get that from Tiger. And, like, no, that's not relatable to literally anyone else ever, ever, like, ever. Do we have to get to this next one or can we skip right over it? I mean, why would you even put that in here? Look, I like to provide all the information.

gives a fuck i'm not going to say this there's a word in here there's a sentence in here that we can't say you want to skip it i mean we'll go i'll just so i'm trying to provide all the information just go just let's just get through it this is what happened this is tiger wood speaking i just can't practice like i used to he said it tuesday at the masters my back gets sore i just can't log the time that i used to and that goes with every part of my life why would he say that now why would you say the words my back gets sore that one hurts that hurts. That should be bleeped out of this goddamn fucking show. We should be like the North Korean tiger propaganda machine. And my back gets sore.

My back is sore? We should literally, Jake, can you doctor up that part when I read that quote and have Tiger come in at some part where he says back feels great. Yeah. My back feels great. I just can't log in the time that I used to. It goes me saying, Tiger said my and then just cut in back feels great. And then it's like, me. He's reading again. Everyone in North Korea is like, oh, yeah, that's definitely what he said. Oh, yeah, for sure. His back goes great.

No, legit, Kim Jong. No, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, 18-hole. Yeah, you got an 18-hole one. So, not what you really want to hear, but then- what you want to hear when you know that, like, we want him to be a Terminator. I want him to be built out of machinery. I want him to be looking at people. I want him to be the Night King, walking around with smoke and, and rising from the ashes.

I don't want to hear about soreness. I don't want to hear that he's, like, taking Advil and stuff. Like, that's, like, old man shit. Like, I'm sore right now. I don't want to... Me and Tiger should not be sore at the same time at the masses. I'm absolutely with you. So, look, hopefully, and I don't want to talk about this either,

but the biggest, the number one negative that our guy Brandl continues to harp on whenever they bring up Tiger on live from coverage, which they do all the time, because he's Tiger wins, is that he thinks, if anything, will hold Tiger back, it'll be his putting. So the soreness, he says he can't practice as much. Hopefully that's not true. He's just saying that to kind of like reverse psychology. Jack Nicholas with his fucking head games that he's playing.

And if there's anything to focus on, hopefully Tiger Puts well, because he's hitting the ball great, which is awesome. T times, I just want to say Tiger T's off at 11.04 Thursday, which is perfect. Absolutely perfect. That means he'll be done, should be done by 4 o'clock, which is when we do radio. So hopefully I can sit there and watch every fucking shot that guy hits. And then he tees off at 1-something on Friday, which is also great for the average person because that Friday afternoon of the Masters,

you know, you work from 9 or 10 in the morning until 2 o'clock, and then you just spend the entire rest of the afternoon doing fucking nothing mail time. You just mailed in, and you watch the Masters. You watch Tiger finish up. It's going to be just talking about it. It's so delightful. He's with that psychopath, lunatic John Rahm, and then Hal Tong Lee is his pairing. They're the feature group on Thursday, which is great.

Masters.com, best website ever created, I believe. Anybody got anything else on that front, T-Times? I don't think we have to talk about that too much, right? The other week, my family and I had a bit of a scare. At midnight, the cops rang our doorbell. A neighbor had called them thinking they saw a man in our yard.

A lot of people sending in a lot of good stuff. Notifications have been flying this week. I mean, flying. Every time I look, somebody's sending us a screenshot of them just cutting a note of a gay. I don't think he's ever talking about anything other than Tiger Woods. Ever. I laugh at every screenshot we get sent because the look on his face is always like he's just about to start saying something that is

positive about Tiger, but veiled enough that he's, like, still trying to present himself as a journalist. He's feeling good. He's feeling good. Tiger's feeling good. It's the first one on there. He's notification. Tiger's feeling good. I know this because I'm his best buddy. He's feeling good. Yep.

What does that consist of? Is he text him? Like, hey, Tiger, are you feeling good? I'm feeling good. I think they talk. I think that he, like, gets up close and personal and, like, hangs out with it. Tiger, how are you feeling? He looks to me. He's like, I'm feeling good, Noda. I need he writes it down a little note. The note is like, that's a whole segment for me.

I'm going to do that on the channel. Tiger's feeling good. Hold on, Tiger. Say that again. No, to what's Tiger like? What's Tiger like? He literally looks at his phone. He's like, I wrote it down before, actually.

Let me just get you the quote. I'm feeling good. That's from Tiger Woods. Hey, Tiger, what are your backyard greens rolling at? What's the couple? What the fuck question is that? These are another couple great notifications that we got. His backyard greens rolling at 14.

to 15 on the stamp meter. And then the third notification that we, you know, logged for this is that Tiger's chipping area is so firm and tight. It's like hitting off concrete. These are quotes that are just set out loud amongst a group of people that Noda literally is writing into his notes on his phone. Like Tiger's chipping around. He's like, man, this thing feels like concrete.

And he literally goes to his notes. He's like, he's chipping on an area that feels like concrete. And someone was like, Tiger, what's that thing rolling out? He's like, I think like a 14 or 15, like Tiger's backyard green is rolling out of 14. Like, he's just his friend. It's like, uh, he's just his best friend. No, what are you doing over there? Working.

I've been working hard. Not to bring up, not to bring up another Billy Madison thing, but when, uh, the, the bad guy pays the janitor to like spy and he's like, Miss Lippie's car is green. That's the exact same thing that no. A hundred percent perfect reference. Miss Liffie's car is green. And the guy's like, oh my God. That's like the rest of the people on the live covers are like, oh, my God, he's talking about concrete and the chipping area. Brandon and Duval are like, oh, God, here comes another notification about his fucking concrete creed.

When you're that close to Tiger Woods, we should be getting a level of insight that, like, you can't get anywhere else, right? Like, this is his, this is why Noda is in our world, is to be Tiger Woods' guy in notifications. We should be getting things from him that, like, holy fuck, like, this is coming from Camp Tiger. Like, did you hear this quote? Like, he needs to win this one because he's coming after Jack. Like, all that he's sitting around a fire and he's sipping on fucking cognac. And he's looking out at, like, Ray's Creek. And he's going to say, I'm going to drop my deuce on that thing because I'm going to own this place this week.

Like, that's what I want from Noda. Instead, what we get from Noda is like, Tiger, to be honest with you guys, I spoke with him this week. He's never swung freer. It's been years since he's swung this freely. He's been smiling a lot. I know that from hanging around his house. He's been smiling. And to be honest with you, I've never seen Tiger this happy and swinging this freely.

He said to me directly that he feels really good. His greens are like concrete. It's like, no, they're not fucking saying anything. Like, nothing that you've said. It's real. In defense of Noda, he's kind of put in an impossible situation because if he were to give those little bits of information that Frankie wants, he would be kicked out of the circle so fast. And he just wouldn't exist.

So he has to play by Tiger's rules to even give us like, oh, it's hidden off like concrete and he's feeling good. So we want all this juicy information. But to get that, you have to say it once if you're noted and then you get kicked out and you never get any information again. So I love where we're at with Notta Bague. I love the updates he gives. I will always love them and I hope he keeps bringing up. When they panned him at on set at any tournament that Tiger Woods is teeing it up in, I laugh out loud. It's amazing.

The second they pan to him, I just laugh out loud. we go. Phil Mickelson, a lot of big stuff from Phil, kind of really recirculating the entire story. We did a podcast a day and a half ago. And it's just, there's just not, there's just so much shit that's happening. So much stuff. He's recirculating this entire story, the Jake Owen story.

Of course, if you listen to last week's podcast, biggest show we've ever done, most coverage we've ever gotten from an episode of Foreplay, from really anything that Foreplay's done, was, of course, this Jake Owen story about going up to Phil at Jordan Spees's wedding, telling him he wanted his money back for the match with Tiger and Phil saying, Here's 100. Go fuck yourself. All time, all time. Quote, it's just been going nuts.

That story. Well, Phil shows up to the driving range, okay, on Tuesday. He's warming up on the range. He's got a $100 bill hanging out of his pocket on the range. Now, some people are like, oh, what a coincidence. What are you fucking stupid? Not a coincidence. You think this is a work?

You think the guy never in his career, have I ever seen him walk out of the driving range and have a $100 bill hanging out of his pocket? He's goofy Phil Mickelson. He loves shit talk. and he loves rubbing it in, he lives for that stuff. That's where he's most, like, most famous for outside of the golf is be having that kind of personality. This story goes crazy viral.

He confirms it on Twitter and then shows up like that and everyone thinks, or some people think it's a coincidence? Fuck out of here. The $100 bill wasn't even close to not hanging out of his pocket. Correct. Like, it wasn't like a wind blew and he kind of hit it with his arm. That thing was falling out regardless of if he moved at all. I bet he stood right in front of the mirror before he walked outside, gave it that perfect

hanging out spot did a couple stretches like this is going to stay here right but it's going to hang out and then walked out and did that and it couldn't have been better it was all time and then he gets asked about it in the presser we'll put this clip in right here Phil I think so many of us had a good laugh about the Jake Owen story curious if you could just tell us your side

of it and what happened about the what story Jordan's wedding about the oh yeah no it happened exactly like he said yeah Jake nailed it I was a verbatim Ricky Fowler and I were talking he was right there and Jake had a bunch of buddies behind them and thought he'd come show off a little bit and I kind of shot him down. So, yeah. So he gets asked about the story in the presser, confirms it 100% confirms, even adds a little

flair to the story. I'm staring at talking to Ricky Fowler. Jake was kind of, you know, he's impressing a couple of his buddies and I had to kind of shut him down a bit. Just phenomenal stuff from Phil Mickelson. Again, this sort of recirculated the entire story once again. I just like the idea of a story being told from this shit piece of shit office. Yeah.

That's horrible. It smells like shit. It's covered in shit. And then it gets all the way. A thing that was in this room gets taken all the way down to the Augusta Media Center where it's pristine. Everything's perfect. We know everything about that. That's the beauty of the thing that we do.

Where their three-time champ has to talk about it in their pristine media center. Something that legitimately was created from thin air in this room right here. Right in this room. It's really amazing. It's an amazing thing. Well, he looked me in the eyes and told me that he wanted to, like, basically seduce me with his stories. And I just couldn't get out of his little web. That guy, Jake Owen.

I love him. You still think about how deep his eye got. I still think about how. I still think about the way he told me, like, he looked into my eyes. He's like, I'm going to tell you this story and you're just going to come for a ride. That's what he said to me with his eyes, never verbally. And you did go for a ride. If you have a chance to go see Jake Owen in person and, like, hear his voice in person, I mean, you have to run to that opportunity because he is.

He could be a preacher. Oh, he could be a preacher. You know, that guy Carl Lentz, a hot pastor. That's where I was thinking of. Fucking put Jake Owen up there with a guitar and tell him golf stories. He would dust that guy. God. I'd sign up for that cult.

With the guitar, you're right. The guy came in here for a fucking hour, and he's all over the news because of how awesome he is. Oh. Kid to me? He's great. Imagine having more than an hour with him. Augusta National, Chairman Fred Ridley, had some interesting comments about the course. Look, Augusta National is itself.

The golf course is just as interesting and intriguing as the actual masters. tournament, if not more so. There's been a lot of chatter about lengthening. They did, of course, lengthen number five, as everybody knows. They lengthed it by 40 yards. That was actually breaking news on this podcast when Kevin Kisner was on. Yeah. And if you remember that.

He said, oh, yeah, I played August a couple days ago. It's 495 now on number five. That's an automatic bogey for me, is what he said. So that was breaking news here, but they did that. And they added a couple feet to the back right portion of the 18th green, I believe. It's going to be very minuscule. people won't really notice it, but that is a thing that happened. They changed the 18th Green a little bit.

And they have very, this has gotten a lot of notoriety in the last year or so, that Augusta did purchase land behind the 13th team from Augusta Country Club, which the two of them are bordered each other. They purchased a bunch of land. The thought process is that the 13th hole, maybe the best hole in the world. A lot of people find that to be one of the greatest holes on planet Earth. The dog leg left par five with the tributary there to raise Creek running. and right across the front of it.

Just an all-time golf hole. We've seen it in person, not to brag. It's even better in person that you can possibly imagine. That that hole, which I think is only like 515 or something like that, 50-5 yards. It's legit like 20 or 30 yards shorter than the par 4-11th hole that they're going to lengthen that because it doesn't play the same way that it used to. You see some guys if they really bomb one and move it hardcore right to left.

They have like nine irons into that green. Bubba hit one when he beat Speed down the stretch that year. He hit one like he legit had like a pitch. wedge in his hand. He came out, Fred Ridley came out, the chairman of Augustin National, said Amen Corner is a sacred place in the world of golf. I am hesitant to move too quickly in that regard in terms of lengthening it. He said Augustin National plans to wait to see how distance may be addressed by the governing bodies before taking action. Shout out to our close personal friend USGA. Admittedly, the hole does not play as it was intended to play by Bobby Jones and

Alster McKinsey. The momentous decision that I've spoken about and that Bobby Jones often spoke about of going for the green and two is to a large extent no longer relevant. I don't know if I fully agree with that. I mean, if people don't hit a perfect drive, it becomes very relevant. You see guys up in the pine straw,

you see them with some tree trouble up there, you see them having to hit from off these like hook lies. So it's definitely not the same. You know, guys aren't hitting like three irons to three woods into that thing. If they hit a good drive, they're all hitting midiron into that green.

So that sort of. of what they're talking about, which he's absolutely right on that front. So hopefully that I think that everybody kind of wants them to lengthen it. Because, like I said, it's almost anybody who hits a decent drive there just goes for that green, and it kind of, I guess, loses some of its luster. You know what I mean? So you'd kind of like to see him lengthen it. Yeah, no, I agree with you.

I think that's the right move. And people love, like, I don't know, any change, right? They'd just like to. Yes and no. I mean, change. that makes it, I guess, like even more intriguing. Right. Right.

Like if somebody hits, it shouldn't be that if you hit a good drive on that hole, it's just an automatic you can hit at the middle of the grade to make easy birdie. Correct. Right. It should be like, even if you hit a good drive, you've still got to hit like a four iron off of a hanging lie. Right. That's sort of what that should be, and it's not that. So I think that makes a lot of sense.

I do think it's interesting to hear them say that, no, no, we have, we're, it's aim and corner. We don't really make changes to aiming corner. I think that's pretty fascinating because, again, everybody thought once they purchased that, that it was a no-brainer. A lot of people thought maybe this year when they just showed up to Augusta, like, oh, 13 is like 50 yards longer. And they haven't done that. So I thought that was kind of interesting. And then somebody asked them about having an Augusta-only golf ball for the Masters.

And he said, I think it's very unlikely that we would ever produce a Masters ball. There are a whole lot of reasons for that, but I think you can be pretty assured that that's the case. So it is a fun, cool idea, but kind of shot it down. Patrick Grit, family stuff. We talked about the Reed couple at length on this very show. It's just non-stop. I can't decide if it's a gift that keeps on giving. I can't decide if we pay more attention to it because we talk about it so much or that it's just,

I think it just keeps happening over and over again that they are in the news for crazy shit. It gets a lot of coverage. It does. It's everywhere. I mean, it's one of the top stories on, you know, Golf Channel has like 8. or 10 little storylines on the right there on their homepage and it's one of the top ones and these quotes he gave he gave him to the New York Times

which is a pretty large paper in the world clearly as a New York Times guy is a large paper in the world quote it nailed it Trent I think you're right it's a pretty large paper out there in the world it's one of the larger papers in the world I just picture a guy sitting at a park bench with a massive paper

I know that guy's reading one of the biggest papers You are right though he must have just being like no that's that New York Times I was talking about you see that you see that thing the largest papers in the world That paper that's taken up. You can't even see that guy's body because that paper that's one of the biggest in the world. It's also one of an incredibly popular paper. No, it's popular, but it's really big.

It's also large. You see how big it is. You're right. He has to have a New York Times guy who just, because this was after the Ryder Cup. That's who we went to. Yeah, he's got a Times guy. I wonder what that guy knows. Everything. Oh, man. You know, it's juicy because it's so weird that the guy just fucking hates his family.

He had him kicked out of the U.S. Hope. What is that? And now? Part of the article Hey, you see those people over there Get them the fuck out of here It's like uh Who are they?

They're rowdy fans That's your family sir You speak back to me Get them the fuck out Yeah I gotta talk to my close personal friend UsJ What are they doing kicking families Out of the fucking

Whatever he says Regardless of what he says You can't get the family Can't just kick him out He's just like getting angry Let him get angry Oh that's just Patrick And one of the main parts of the article

Was that he's worried That they're going to show up With the Masters And they apparently They apparently live like six miles away And when he won it last year They had like a big watch party for him. It was awkward because

he hates them. They're like, that's our guy who hates us. I can picture him putting. And like, you know, just standing behind the ball, like kind of just going back and forth, reading the putt. And all of a sudden he just locks eyes with one of his family members. He's like, you motherfuckers. And they just, they had their arms crossed and they're like, that's right, boy. Like, we're here.

We made it. Like, you won't make that put. That's like that crazy fucking rivalry. And he's like, you motherfuckers. Like, this crazy one-way rivalry where they're like these really sweet parents who just love their son and he's like you fuckers get the fuck out of here and it should surprise no one that i believe it's said in the article the 2015 report by alan shipnuck the reason that the family had a

falling out of sorts was when he married justine no way oh actually i made i did that little scenario wrong i think he's he's setting up for his put he locks eyes at his parents and all of a sudden he looks to the right and he's like out of his corner of his eyes like does justine see them and he's like looking around like where's justine and then all of a sudden he's sees her looking at them and he's like, this is done. It's over. We're about to see, like, fireworks. I'm just going to putt.

I'm going to look. To take that even further, I see him locking eyes with them and tears welling up in both family's eyes, just tears. And they know, like, what's coming behind them? She knows. What a talk to my mom and dad. And then, like, the camera pans out and you see just a fucking wrecking ball coming across, like, around 18 green.

You see people falling up like a car is driving by. You see people, like, bouncing. Boom. What is that coming up 18? Oh no. It's Justine Reed. Patrick's like, Papa, Papa,

Papa, Papa, Mama, no. He reaches out to that. No. Family just gets fucking smoked by Justine Reed. Big cloud of smoke and finally dissipates and they're just gone. Papa, Mama.

That's good. That's good. So the Reads, you know, they're back. understandable he is the defending champ. So, who man. I said this in a blog about it. I'm obviously,

we're rooting for Tiger to win the Masters. That's everything we've ever dreamed of. But I also hope Patrick Reed continues to win the Masters over and over again. So this circus comes to town every single year. Because you just know the people at Augusta hate this. They're like, just get

a new winner in there. Like, they can't wait for this tournament to happen and be over so they can have a new winner. I'm hoping, if it's not Tiger, I'm hoping it's Patrick Reed again. It's a great storyline that people are clearly, like, embarrassed and devastated by the fact that Patrick Reed is currently the defending champ. 100%.

We're not getting, like, as much of the pageantry in a bunch of, like, the Tuesday night and Wednesday, like, as much coverage as that stuff usually gets because it's Patrick Reed. And they're like, let's just, this year we're just going to blow over that stuff. Yes. We'll focus on a lot of the other cool stuff about the Masters. Nobody really wants to talk about him. Nobody's really that pumped about him.

So you're right. It kind of throws a cool little wrinkle in there. He did say, he said, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they showed up. It said Reed didn't see his family along with the fans on the 17th hole at East Lake this past year when they knew when they ended up finding out that the family was there. But he reportedly, quote, would have called for security to throw them out had he seen them earlier in the round. Reed's parents were thrown out while following their son of the 2014 U.S.O. But a Pinerst, a decision that was reportedly made by the USGA without input from Reed or his wife, Justine. Okay.

So that's kind of the quotes there that we're going on. The same thing that is just happening in golf. Unbelievable thing. 2014 has been going on since however long him and Justine have been married. It's wild. It's just wild. What a wrecking ball that woman is. Jesus.

I just can't stop picturing her in her outfit on Sunnet. Her flowery, like, watermelon outfit running out there. Fred Ridley is just like, God, God damn it. Imagine people up in the Augustic Clubhouse are just throwing glasses on the ground. God damn. Got to deal with this for 365 days. Brooks Kempka, he's lost a ton of weight, looks skinny, unhealthy. He's got this weird beard going on.

Turns out the big report going on going around out there is that he lost all this weight for the ESPN body issue. Oh. Our guy Brando Schamblay yesterday had these were scorching hot, scorching hot quotes. Nobody loves talking about golfers' bodies more than Brandon Champlain. Oh, man. He is not happy. If he sees roaring the gym, he's like, get out of the gym, pal. He just starts roasting him on like Instagram and Twitter

and then blocks him if somebody responds to him. It's amazing. Love Brandon, one of our guys. He said, for him to change his body and his body chemistry for vanity reasons for a vanity shoot is the most reckless self-sabotage that I have ever seen of an athlete in his prime. I get why they ask Gary Player to do that shoot. I get why they ask Greg Norman. I get why they do that.

Those guys are incredibly fit guys and want to show the world they're fit. But to do something that takes you out of your game to change your game completely, To see someone whose body has changed drastically, it's never worked out very well, it's led to deterioration. Again, I'm going to read that. He called it the most reckless self-sabotage that I have ever seen of an athlete in his pride. I'm telling you, nothing gets Brandliled up, like talking about golfers' bodies and whether they lift, whether they shouldn't, how they handle it. It's amazing. Curious what the camp is going to have to say about that.

The camp. Do you think Rory makes a comment on that? Because Rory people forget that Rory McRoy, who's arguably the best golfer. on planet Earth right now is in Brooks Kepka's camp. Yep. Like he fucking signs up. Like his mom sits there at the fucking dinner table during summer or during like winters. Like where are you going this summer, son?

I want to go to Brooks Kepka camp. Roy McElroy. I think sometime between the Masters and the beginning of the PGA championship, Roy McElroy of Camp Kepka will comment on that. Oh, shit. Camp Kepka. Oh man, dude. Like that's the shirt right now.

You got to get a shirt. He's in like a tent. It doesn't even need to be that crazy. You could just say Camp Kepka. Or like we love. lookup designs of summer camp shirts, right, with like all, like, little shit on it. Like, what's a summer, what's like a summer camp shirt? Like, what does that usually look like?

Camp Kebka. I mean, he's going to win another major soon, so whenever he wins one, we'll just put that shirt on. Right. We have a mock of the shirt already. Oh, Camp Keppka? It's been in Riggs's inbox for about, like, a month and a half. Hell yeah.

Camp Kevka. We've got a very good mock of it. Like, look at this one. Yeah, boy. That thing is in Keptka. Established 2019. Oh. You kidding me?

Camp Kepka. I'd also like to say, keep your eyes out for that. Why is Brooks Kepka changing his body for the ESPN body issue? Like, that's why they recruited him for it. Because he's got a crazy looking body. Yeah, but I think he wanted to look,

you know, he wanted to look like more sleek. We're looking at this camp Kepta show right now. I mean, that's one. I mean, it looks amazing. Looks like a camp that Kepka runs. It's a golf camp with mountains in the background and the sun's beaming. It's like so Brooks Kepka.

Looks like a great summer camp. All right. So this is a nice little tease for when Brooks Kebka wins his next major, which you all know is going to happen. Yeah, next time he really wins something big, and he's, you know, everybody's kind of behind him. He's got that big Moga on. We're going to release our camp. The problem is with the shirt.

We can't just release it now because, like, no one's really in Camp Kebka. It's like Rory Maca Roy and, like, a handful of people. Like, Camp Kebka has not taken to the masses yet. People are still, like, not in on Camp Kebka. Yeah, especially Brann O'Shea Blie. He's out of Camp Kevka. Brantle's, like, the person staying outside of Campa with, like, all those signs. Like, like, the Lord is coming.

Like, don't walk into this camp. The end is near. The end is near. He's got all like the red blotches on his white pants and stuff. God hates Kepka. God hates Kempka. Yeah. He's like Tony Perkins from the heavyweights.

He has to lose all the weight. Yes. That's exactly right. So hot takes on Brooks Kepka. Robin Hood, an investing app that lets you buy and sell stocks, ETFs, options, and cryptos all commission free. While other brokerages charge up to $10 for every trade. Boo.

Phil also said he wouldn't be surprised if Augusta National eases its cell phone policy. quick question to the group as guys that have been there understand what it's like to have no cell phone all day at augusta would you like to see this or not nope nope it's a big nope for me uh obviously we have our qualms with it because of our jobs that's why we're not there and it's stressful you're like ah oh it's what if something happens for the for the person who just goes there to enjoy augusta national to enjoy the masters there is simply nothing better than after that first 15 minutes where you're like oh you stop reaching for your phone it's pure bliss it's the best you're the best best thing you can experience. 100%. Once you get past, like you said, that initial kind of barrier, you realize where you're at, you realize, okay, I can't have my phone. I'm just, I'm accepting that fact now. It's the best time in the world.

It feels like when you're walking through, I always compared it to Disneyland. And then I also went to Saratoga this summer, which I, which kind of gave me the same feeling. They have this, like, unbelievable entryway. They do. It's great. You feel like you're walking into the Magic Kingdom. But on the other side is not like a million little kids and balloons and loud noise.

On the other side is like serenity. Yep. And when we went, the first experience I ever had was like, it was like perfect weather. It was like I think we went a little later in the day. We had done radio and like our first, my first ever experience of it was like towards the end of like a practice or was it Thursday or Wednesday. Like end of like a practice round. I think it was the end of Thursday. Yeah, I think so.

Yeah, you're right. Guys were just coming off the golf course. Like the sun wasn't beaming. It was a little dark out, and like I saw the sun just hitting all these holes. You see the whole golf course from the first team. It's unbelievable. So, yeah, it's something like I've never seen. It's giving me the chills.

And I would argue as we plunge further and further into this world where we're very dependent on our phones, that them having this world where them having this rule where you can't have them, I think it becomes even more important as we go forward. Yes. And having your phones does not make those experiences. Like if you had your phone, you wouldn't even pick up on half the things that you pick up. with because you don't have your phone. Correct.

Like you're not looking at the way the fucking sun comes through the trees, right? You're just like on your phone looking at Twitter and shit. Yeah, you're trying to get picks up being like, I'm in Augusta. Right. Instead of just being in Augusta. Constantly, can you take a picture of us and you have your back to it? And like, you're like, you're looking at it. That's not Augusta.

Also, I mean, it is the best way I've heard is like Dave said that when you go to Augusta, it's like it's like it's 1955. It's like nothing has changed from 1950s. It's a great year. You know, they don't have the technological scoreboards. They got the same scoreboards. Nobody's got a phone. I bet the concessions are identical. The golf course, for the most part, to like the naked eye, unless you study course architecture, is pretty much identical.

It's just the same damn thing. It's just a little nicer, you know, a little bit more efficient. They've modernized it in terms of the actual course and whatnot. But they don't have electronics. They've got none of that going on. It's like you're in 1955, and it's incredible. I would say it's more likely, I think, that other golf tournaments go to no cell phone and you have to check your cell phone than it is that Augusta is going to go pro cell phone.

Agreed. Great year. To 195, Barrelli's Italian restaurant. Wow. Yep. Inception. Come on. Yep.

A couple brothers from Italy. Amazing. Yep. When did, what's his name? Cicillani? Oh, Laredo. Laredo. Laredo.

He walked in with a guy from the boat from Italy. I think it was like 1965, 10 years later. He walked in with this big Russian dude. They both met each other on the boat on the way here. The Russian guy didn't make it as long as Laredo. I think he just, like, bus tables. You know, my grandparents didn't really like him that much. They kicked him to the curb.

Laredos would make him pies ever. since. He's got little stubs for fingers because he's been touching the dough for so long. Jesus. It's amazing. It's unbelievable. All right. And then last thing before we get into a couple from the galleries, I didn't submit this to you guys.

I added it late. These are Lurch's Masters takes. So, oh, okay. Lurch is out of town. He's got a real. Itching to get his takes out. Big time. We have a little group text.

He lights up that text group. He lights it up. He sends pictures. He sends his feelings. He sends his locations. When we were scrawling the other night trying to figure out of it. when we were going to record. He was the most active member, and he was in Palm Springs.

Yep. Palm Springs. It was like 2 a.m. here, like whatever it was, 12 o'clock, 11 o'clock there. He's in Palm Springs on business, and he's devastated. He had to miss a master's shows. But he's got to do, he's got to do. So he had to get his lurch. He had to get his master's takes in.

Here's what he said. Number one, Rory completes the career grand slam and outduals Ricky in the final pairing. Turns into an epic showdown, i.e. Mickelson Stenson at the British Open from a couple years ago. Everyone would love that. He said Eddie Pepperl continues to be a, Beauty, his recent tweet tying himself to Brad Pitt. I don't know if you saw this tweet, but it was all time.

He said that he was, you know, he got to like meet. I think play a little bit with Freddie Couples. He said it was an unbelievable experience. He called Freddie Couples, I think like the Richard Gear of golf, I think is what he said, or the George Clooney. He called him the George Clooney a golf. And then somehow in that tweet also referred to himself as like the Brad Pitt of Golf. Here's the tweet.

Surreal day today. Not only playing Augusta for the first time, but having Fred Couples come over to me and tell me I'm one of his favorite golfers. Fred Couples, the George Clooney of golf, telling the Brad Pitt of golf how much he admires him. It's pretty fucking sweet. Eddie Pepperol is a beauty. He is.

So that's a good take. We'll see if Lurch's first take comes true. What kind of chances Eddie Pepperill have? Zero. Yeah, we call it zero. Nice guy. Cool guy. I love that on the show.

When you're on these, like, FanduLabs and all these, like, I'm joining a bunch of pools now, right, where it's kind of like the same deal as Fandil, where you get all these, like, all these guys of value. Oh, yeah. I pick the six. And, like, I see Eddie Peperil down there. And I'm like, you know, he's so low in the value. Because this guy has any fucking chance?

He has zero. I want to go zero. Watch Eddie Pepper win the goddamn Masters. That's me a tough moment for me. Old riggs exposed. It would be awesome, though. Yeah, it'd be great. He's a man.

Out of all people to fucking name. I would love to be wrong. I think it'd be really cool. Who'd you say had zero chance? Who'd you say was your guy that, like, absolutely will miss the case? Trevor Emelman. Emelman. He responded on Twitter.

He did? Yeah. Oh, God. Somebody. Somebody. It was like Trevor Omerman and Twitter. He tweeted, like, his scripting for the week, you know, which Frankie loves. Frankie loves the scripting.

Yeah. He tweeted out his scripting for the week. I don't know why you guys are out on that, by the way. Everyone is so in on it. Was this a four-play joke before I joined? Was this a little bit you guys did? Not that I remember at least, but it's just always. Scripting Saturdays.

Often on this show we laugh at things that golf media gets very excited about. And that's most certainly one of them where they're like scripts. Look at all these scripts. Look at all these shirts. Look at these guys are going to be wearing. I've got scripts coming on my ass now. I'm fucking getting scripts. You're like Keegan Bradley's getting scripts.

Come on. We're kind of, we're counterculture, and we don't embrace script culture. I'll be counter-scripted. Yeah, you want to do counter-script culture? I do like Tiger scripts, though. I try and picture what he's-I'm in the Tiger scripts. I'll give you that. I don't go, fuck it.

When they do the scripts of Justin Thomas are in the U.S. Open and, like, that stupid brand that always does it, I'm not going to give any free. Yeah, I like that. It's smart. They tie the little thing around his neck. Yep. I want to tighten that thing all the way up to his fucking chin. I hate those scripts. Because he never wears it.

He doesn't. He puts it around his fucking neck. It is disingenuous. They script a sweater around his neck and he doesn't wear it. Right. If he's going to script it that way, you can't have fake scripts out there. Because every time that script comes out, I'm like, holy shit, this guy's going to change the game. He's going to walk out there with one of those fucking douchebag sweaters around his neck.

And that's going to be like, the hell those hated thing in the world. And then he comes out, he's just not wearing it. Right. The script was wrong. So Trevor Olimman, like... Can't script shit like that. So Trevor Olimin, like, tweeted, he has a Kylie Dab and tweeted out his script for the thing, I think, something like that. And somebody quote tweeted.

it and gave me the tag and was like, ain't going to need those Saturday and Sunday shirts, eh, Rigsie? And then Trevor Lillan responded was like, hi, you may be right or something like that. But, you know, hopefully I'll see you Saturday or something like that. I didn't really know what to do. So I just kind of left it alone. But that was one of my takes.

Another large take. He said, here's a bet. There will be a hole in one on three of the four days. Wow. That's a bold one. Holy shit. I'm going to go out and say that that's a bet. not going to happen. There will be a hole in one

on three of the four days. Yes. If he thinks it's like the fucking John Deer Classic. Incorrect. Or maybe he's convinced him. No offense. All right. I love the John Deer Classic. That's just the first one that came to your mind there. I feel like there's lower scoring. You were waiting to bury the John Deer Classic.

There is lower scoring in the John Deer Classic than the Masters. That's just a fact. You were waiting to bury the John Your Classic. Let's see if this gets back to Lurch. I will bet him $100 that doesn't happen. Wow. I'm going to text them right now. I will bet him $100 is that there's not three whole and ones in the four days. Or is he saying it's going to happen?

It's going to happen three out of the four days. Right. So there could be three in one day. That's only one. Correct. So that's a worst bet ever. Terrible. We'll see if he takes that. I just texted them. Oh, it delivered, too. I wasn't sure he's on the plane. Fourth lurch take. He's got five. This pains me to say it, but Tiger Bogie is the first and has a top 20 finish.

The weather and the increase of rain in recent days presents a real challenge to him off the tee with length and accuracy, and he continues the strategy of last year to hit fairways, but has around 200 yards on approach shots. That's his time. Jack said that he's never seen him hit an easier 64. Fucked Jack. No offense. It's a Jack. No offense.

In this particular situation. Also, we have breaking news. Lurch says, done. He takes the bat. Holy shit. So does he realize that in this scenario, even if they have 10 hole and ones on Thursday and Friday. That's only two.

Correct. All right. I am rolling the dough. You already spending that money? I am rolling in the dough. So he just changed you. He goes, I'll go 25 bucks on that and 25 he'll take the penguins tonight. I mean, see, this is what he does. He's a degenerate gambler,

but he also backtracks. He was so confident in that take that he delivered it on this podcast. No, he's confident in the take. I will say that I messed up in the text. I said, Frankie says he will bet you. I forgot to put $100 in there. There is not holes in one on three of the four days. And he said, done.

So now he's offering $25 bucks on that and $25 on this game. So you messed it up? Well, that's the offer. You can still change it. You don't feel good? You got home ice tonight at the college. Oh, I'm not even talking about that. The Islanders, yes, I'll take that bet all day, $25 all in.

And I'll take the other one. I just thought that it would be a little higher because I thought it would be a higher. So you guys have two ongoing bets, the same amount of money. It's just funny that I got to bet Islanders with this guy. Like, he has nothing else to watch tonight. So he's involved. You get to bury the Little Rangers fan. Yeah, that's fine.

He's a penguins. They got, what, number two in the... Capo caco. They got number two in the draft. Yeah, they had a great draft. They had a great draft lottery, but you know what? They're also going to be a European fucking team. Like, that guy, Capococca is from where?

Like, Finland or Switzerland or whatever? Just sad to see, like, the New York Rangers with the red, white, and blue and the Statue of Liberty on the fucking jersey, you know, be like a European team. She said. They used to have a really good American team. Get your hate out. You get to gloat. You get to put them down.

your team's getting ready to be in the collie tonight. I am going to be inside the Coliseum tonight with fucking savages. That place is going to be a jungle. The last time there was a playoff series at the Coliseum, people were ripping the chairs out of the floor. You could hear like zzz, zh, zh, and they were literally taking the chairs and putting them over. They brought power tools. Jesus. I'm excited for you, Fred.

I'm excited for you. Step brothers when the dad hears him. Dale, Dale, no power tools. No power tools. What? No power tools. in there. What?

Oh, okay. Wait, I think they're using power tools. Dale, no power tools. The way he says power tools is so fun. What? No power tools. I think they're using power tools, man. Dale, no power tools.

Lurch, are you there? Oh, here he is. Yeah, I'm here. So we think your whole and one bet's the dumbest bet in the world. You're live on the podcast. Give us, you study some data or something? is between plus 500 and plus 333. I think that it's an aggressive one.

I think it's only a $25 risk. I also think it's going to be a terrible time of the year for Frankie. So I think it's a hit. Wow. There's the data. I'm doing a little podcasting right now. I'm screaming across the room to get into his little phone while also speaking to the mic. Can he hear me?

Yeah, he's laughing. I can hear you. Yeah, yeah. Number one, I like how you're taking the penguins because you have nothing. else to root for in your life, right? Like, you're watching my team playing the playoffs. Great. Like, keep rebuilding.

I'll talk to you in 10 years. Number two, you understand that if there's 10 hole and ones on Thursday, you're like, that's only one. It's like match playing golf. So that's like the worst bet ever. I originally wanted to bet you $100. That's how confident I was in that. But apparently that number was not brought to you via text.

So we will do $25. If you want to double down, I will do $50 on the, on the, on the golf. So more of the strategy was for the bet. It was just $25 risk for you, but more of the strategy for the bet was because on it's plus 500 or plus 33 each day. Fandle.

Or Fandall. I think it's, or Fandwell, of course. Fandle's a better place to do it. Each day, I think it's a good risk to put $100 down. And I think at the end of the tournament, you'll be positive. Interesting. I see what you're saying.

Yeah, I see what you're saying. It wasn't like a bet. against someone yes or no, it was like, if you were to put money down, you should put $100 each day that there would be a whole in one. Three out of the four days. If you hit on one day, it's plus $500. Got it. So that's really where the bet stems from. But since Frankie wanted to do it, I'd be happy to risk $25 versus Frankie because I think this is just going to prove that I'm a genius.

And then also, it's going to be a tough time of year with your eye. I will say that's an incredibly hard bet for you to win. And I actually do feel bad now that like something got kind of turned around on you. but then I also don't feel bad because I think you're a lurch and kind of a loser. A little fact for everybody that's in the Palm Springs Airport. It's 100% outside. So if you're inside the terminal, you're actually outside. That can't be real.

It only rains seven days of year. Yeah, check it out at Barstool Lurch. You'll see that I took a shot. I'm inside the terminal, but I'm 100% outside. That's psychotic. All right, Lurch. Fly safe. Fly safe. Yeah.

Masters. Masters. Masters. That's his last word. Masters. His last words were just masters. And then his last take is Gary Woodland does the Hoffman this year, which equals leading after day one outside top 30 finish. Yeah.

I can see it. Okay. I could totally see it. Have we talked about this? Does Trevor Hoffman? Trevor Hoffman. Charlie Hoffman have the most punchable face on the PGA tour? Look, I, um, it's funny because we were pretty anti-Charlie often, like we said last time until we had him on the show.

I don't know. That's not about his personality, though. No, I don't think so. The picture they use on the Fandual stuff, it looks like someone fucking stubbed his dough or something. He's like, he's like, he's, like, punchable. I consider, like, Billy Horschell has a punchable face. That's a good one. Damn, that's a good one.

That's a good one. And, uh, Justin Rose. Oh, by the way, the Justin Rose cat face, right? that smug little cat is the orista cats. Yep. Somebody sent somebody tweet that. Someone tweeted out. It's the white cat from the aristocats.

I said it was a Disney, a Disney movie. The aristocats. The aristocats. Yep, I'm pulling it out. All right. So that take was a little bit, you know, verified that he's got a little cat.

And that is Justin Rose. That little face right there is Justin Rose. Yeah, I agree with that. Mm-hmm. I'm Justin Rone. Oh, so on the Ristocats. Ladies and gentlemen, I love that Dollar Shave Club Has everything I need to look, feel, and smell my best

What I love even more is the fact that I never have to go to a store Go into stores, stinks. Stinks. Going to stores are one of the worst parts of my day. Luckily, you don't have to do it with Dollar Shave Club. Worst parts are your day, huh? Yeah. Just walking into a store.

You don't know if the door's going to even open automatically. Sometimes you've got to touch, especially in the city. You never know what those doors, you know? Pull, push. You don't have to come up with a consistent, universal thing is paper towels and bathrooms. I'm pushing. I'm pulling. I'm waving like a psychopath. All these things are too much.

It doesn't happen in your home, though. Just stay out of stores. Dallor Shave Club delivers everything I need right to my door. And number two, they keep me fully stocked on what I use, so I do not run out. Here's how it works. Stour Shave Club. They got everything you need to get ready no matter what you are getting ready for. They have you covered head to toe for your hair, your skin, your face, you name it.

They've got it. And they have the new program where they automatically keep you stocked up on the products you use. You determine what you want and when you want it, and it shows up right to your door from once a month to once every six months. They're toothpaste. Okay, we've talked about how you can run out of toothpaste. When you do run out of toothpaste, it's the worst thing in the world because you're just kind of stand there.

You've got a gross mouth. You can't fix your mouth. You can't clean your mouth. You can't brush your teeth. It's brutal. Luckily, they've got phenomenal toothpaste, and they deliver it on the schedule. They deliver it right to your door. You've got to stay out of stores, which is Frankie's least favorite part of the entire

day. Right now, okay, Dollar Shave Club, they've got a bunch of starter sets. You can try for just $5, like their oral care kit. After that, the restock box ships regular-sized products. at regular price. What are you waiting for? Get your starter set for just $5. right now at dollar shaveclub.com slash four.

That's dollar shaveclub.com slash four. Next up from the gallery. We're going to go through a couple of these. Reminder. Foreplay at barstoolsports.com. Send us your questions, concerns, hypotheticals, whatever it is, send it to us. We will read them.

If they are good, we will discuss them on the show. First one is you get a tea time tomorrow at Augusta National. So I guess let's call it like next week, because obviously tomorrow's the Masters. Next week, you get a tea time at Augusta National. You can have any three people currently living join you. Who are they? Well, my answers are pretty easy, but it's not like famous people.

It's just like my dad, my uncle Jack, and my brother. And that's it. Okay, Frank. My dad, here we go. I'd want my dad. He says, here we go. No. Yeah.

And then I want John Tavares and Henrik Lunkwis to also join us. And they'll be our caddies. You're doing a whole thing here. Yeah. And then we get to just like really hammer it into them. Like that we're playing Augusta. They can't even look at it. I'd actually put blindfolds on them.

And I'd be like, carry this fucking bag. And we're going to play the best ride of golf in my life. And you can't even look. Number one, you can't look. Number two, I'm going to make you work. And I, yeah, I'd treat them like, yeah, like, yeah. Like bad people, like real bad people. What a psychopathic answer.

That's my, that's my force. I went like emotional and kind of nice. No, me and my dad would have a great dad. People that I love. You went with people you hate. And my dad. And your dad. This is a nice little look in the fact that the background on Frankie Borelli's computer screen is not a positive thing about Augusta or about the islanders or anything like that.

It is literally the New York Rangers losing to the Los Angeles Kings and Hingrich Lundquist laying on the ground with his head in despair and the king's celebrating. It's a multi-purpose background. It not only reminds me of a great time in my life, but it shows you just how close you can get to your final goals and never to take things for granted. Henrik Lunkwist wanted that Stanley Cup, and he just didn't do enough to get it, and I will overcome things that that coward didn't.

Yeah, it's just a look inside your masochistic brain. But really, like, if we're going to really go serious, like, it's my dad, and then I'd have to really fucking think about, like, who the other two are because, like, are you taking buddies? Are you like, you got to earn that shit, right? You got to earn that. Oh, you got to earn that's the hardest ticket to get in the world. That's like the hard of, like you say like you kind of narrow people down and like bachelor party invites and then like down to like wedding party.

Right. This is even tighter than that. Oh, it's much. This is way tired. Think about your bachelor party and then now you have one or two people to pick out of that that you're going to ruin the other guys lies. Right. If I take Kyle over Robbie or Robbie over Jeff or Jeff over like Tom, like it's fucking who the hell do you pick. And what reasoning do you have to pick that, right?

And then, like, you two or you three or whoever have that experience forever, and, like, you're going to talk about it in front of the other guys. It's life-altering. This decision would be life-altering. If you get a force of Augusta, whoever you take would be life-altering, not only in a good way, but also in a negative way. Yep. So my answer is a little different, but not that different.

It's my dad, my brother, and then the last one's Tiger Woods. Oh, yeah, that's a great one. We get to play Augusta National with Tiger Woods. That's a very good one. Yeah. I just think it enhances that experience even more. It would be tough, like leaving somebody on the cutting room floor. Like, Lurch or one of my other really good buddies being like, I'm bringing Tiger instead.

He'd be like, well, fucking Tiger plays there all time. But at the end of the day, they would understand me. They would totally understand. It's a good thing you, like, don't have like two brothers. Well, then it would, you know, right. It'd be, if that was my answer and I had two brothers and a father, that'd be a real fucked up answer. Right. You just, you don't speak to that brother ever.

It'd be very, very revealing. my feelings towards my third brother. You and John like thought everything was cool, and he's like, all right, well, I'm taking him and Tiger Woods. Alex says the forecast is for thunderstorms Saturday and Sunday this weekend at Augusta, especially Sunday. It's like 90% chance. He said, do we root for a Monday finish so there's even more golf or no? I say no to that. I like when tournaments finish, especially for the Masters.

Master's Sunday is such a special thing, and you just know what's going to happen. and also there's another thing going on that night that's also important. I don't want to drag it. I just want everything to happen the way it's supposed to. That's sort of how I live my life. I don't have an answer for this because my brain has been consumed with thinking something ever since you said that word forecast. How is that not a segment on the four-play pod?

The forecast. Wow. Like somehow, some way. We have to do something whether we talk about the weather of the upcoming, like the weather of the upcoming tournament, it's the forecast. Forecast. Or like what we're doing in the future, the forecast. Rigsie Weather updates, the forecast.

Are you fucking kidding me? How are we not using the word forecast? Next week on next Tuesday, there will be a forecast. You know, get that hint of pause in between to you or forecast. Yeah, we're going to do an episode of, we're going to do a segment of social, the forecast. That's almost what we should be calling, like, it's like shorthand for this podcast. The forecast. Book is podcast and for, forecast.

But I like it better as a segment. Me too. Yeah. You know, like on our social feed, like on Twitter or something, like a storm could be rolling in. Like, and it's like the forecast. We don't even know what the subject is. But we're going to have it. We should, I mean, we can make it.

Just throwing shit at walls right now hoping it sticks. I think it's sticking. I don't be like our version of the notification. Hell, that's exactly what I was thinking. Forecast. The forecast. So, yeah, that's my answer. I'm also not rooting for Monday finish.

Let's just get it done Sunday night. Absolutely not. Although it would be sort of nice in a way. that it just kind of sucks to have like your Monday everybody's gonna go to work and then you're trying to watch the finale of the master's not the same thing but with Game of Thrones since we all did determine that it fucking sucks the two of them and like or the two of them are airing around the same time

that you wouldn't have to deal with that conflict for us it's gonna suck right especially for like you and like you the bloggers that need to be like actually like talking about like every single thing like but for the normal person out there there's just a viewer that's sitting on his couch there will be not one conflicting issue with this Masters and Game of Thrones. There just won't be. Who the hell is still sitting around, like, not being able to pay attention?

Like, what... My buddies are not going to be, like, gloating over the fucking Masters two and a half hours after it's on. Okay, but to the point where you can't pay attention to Game of Thrones. What sucks is that it's going to take... It's going to completely wash out the Masters as, like, the top storyline. There's a very good chance that could happen. Yes.

If something's sick, like, if Ricky Fowler breaks through, wins, like, the Masters, And then fucking John Snow dies in the first episode of Game of Thrones. It's like, Ricky Fowler gets one out. People are going to talk about Ricky Foller, one of the Masters, for one out. And then it's over. No, that's true. I wish a media member would do that at the Masters.

Ricky's up there on the podium. He's all happy. He's wearing the green jacket. All right, Ricky, you got one hour before Game of Thrones starts. What do you want to say to the world? Because in 61 minutes, no one's going to give a fuck. Hey, Rick, hurry to shut up. Yeah.

It's supposed to be on the Tonight Show, but they bring out the fucking Night King the next day. Like Ricky Orange I mean that is the fear though It's that Yeah that's true That's true No I mean you are right Frankie Like it is

It doesn't really affect anyone other than us Because we got to cover both Like we're And we're in this Twitter world too We're like we want to see the memes And like talk about And get an argument About like how I'm like if tiger wins

Like you I mean everyone's gonna go scorched earth Tiger wins right Like you have all the fucking everyone Who never said that he would never win again Yeah That's gonna take two or three hours in itself Like to go back

And get all the clips Big time. That'll be a whole night. I might not even be able to watch Game of Thrones at that. I think if Tiger wins, I won't be able to watch Game of Thrones. I 100% won't. Or you have to watch it at 3 o'clock in the morning. Right.

I just legit will not be able to watch it in real time. He'll be doing the presser. We'll have to be whipping all those clips up. We'll have to be blogging everything that moves. We'll have to come up with merch ideas and spreading all that. Are we ahead of that in any capacity? Do we have clips saved? Oh, yeah.

We had clips saved from when we thought he was going to win the British Hope. Good. We're not 100% there, but I will say. To bring him up to the top of the water. We should get that. Correct. I will say if Tiger is like in the mix on Saturday and whatnot, we will start mobilizing and we will go find all the rundown clips and everything.

But we have a decent amount of them already. And we have shirts and stuff ready. Folks, I want people to know that at the British Open last year, we had this shirt marked up of Tiger holding the claret jug. Oh, yeah. Of like a silhouette of Tiger holding the claret jug that we were just going to drop when he was leading, when he hit that fucking shot out of the fairway bunker over the little burn to the pin and he was going he like it looked like he swung harder anybody's ever swung a pitching wedge in their life

we had this shirt mocked up because you know the silhouette of the it's got that little like wing on it the claret chug and tiger it was just it was all i'm getting the chills and actually almost starting to tear up of seeing what uh like what our shirt would be with when he wins the masters because i can already picture what it is i might just drop the night king's shirt night king shirt yes i will say i'm talking a silhouette of him getting the fucking green jacket put on him i'm trust me we got some i'm Holy fuck. Because he puts on a shirt the only one way.

He puts on that jacket like the Tigerweight, right? Like you would be able to tell it's Tiger, even if it's just like a silhouette. Because Tiger puts on that green jacket unlike anyone else in the world. Yeah, it's a it's a dawning unlike any other. Yes. When he don'ts that green jacket. It's really unbelievable. All right.

I think that's it. I think that's all we've got. We think Tiger Woods is going to win this goddamn Masters. Yes. realistically Jack Nicholas Mind games aside Where would you put a percentage

On Tiger Woods winning this master's Before we log off Full disclosure Yes Jack Nicholas's comments Made me believe that he will win As much shit as we just gave him Jack Nichol's comments made me go

Oh it's over I think there's a 75% chance Tiger Woods wins this stage I had 68 in my head That's a fucking great chance That's really high You guys are high We're ready

75%'s like I'm putting it 50 50 Yeah I mean it has to be We're giving the field 50% If Rory McElroy didn't exist, my odds would be way higher. That motherfucking guy. I don't want to say, I haven't done this yet. The highest wage I've ever placed on sports in my life is $300.

I believe that's the highest I've ever placed. It was on Tampa Bay Lightning to win game seven like three or four years ago. Maybe four or five years ago. You know five bills? I am contemplating putting $1,000 on Rory Macroy to win the Masters. Holy shit. So you don't think there's any fucking draw. You don't think there's any stepback with this guy.

I just think it's almost a lock that he's in the final like two groups, in which case if the odds are 7 to 1, now it becomes like 4 to 1 at worst. And it's like, let's go. Let's have a Sunday where I can win like 7. Can you picture anyone not putting him in their Fandul or any of their pools right now? Can you picture any fucking submission in which Rory McElroy is not? The only way is if you do multiple because you try to play the like. Yeah, no.

Let's just hold. Rory doesn't play well. He will make the final. You have to have them because he's going to like win. Yeah. You have to have. And if he doesn't win, he's like right there anyway. No way he fucking comes out, like, not in the top six.

Correct. Right. And so if it's a six team lineup. All right. That's all we got. Frankie, good luck to the islands tonight. Let's go blues. Let's go.

I'm moving for my pals. I'm rooting for my pals to be happy. Appreciate that, Tret, Daddy. Just wear blue. We are going to be back next week. If we are saying this, if something goes crazy and it warrants us doing a Sunday night podcast, we will do it. So keep your ears peeled for that.

If the master's finish is worthy enough that we have to come in here and we have to record the finale and put that podcast out Sunday night slash Monday morning. We will do it. Otherwise, we'll see you Tuesday and join the Masters. Hit it hard. Hit it hard. Woo!
