I got a buddy who struggles with that shot. A lot. His name's Frankie Burrilli. So the guys actually gave him a nickname of Butternives because he always knites it across the green.

Bro, 100. Now you've got to break 90. We appreciate what you guys do for golf. It's been really cool. Thank you. You're making it cool. we were you going to go. I was like, hey, Phil, you only fucking 2999. And he grabs 100. He's like, yeah, I won 90,000 of these yesterday. He goes, take 100 and go fuck yourself. What? What are you that hitting? It's a hobby. Four play presented by Barstles Sports. Brought to you by Chevrolet. Chevrolet, our favorite car company on the planet. I did not go to the Food Fighters concert last night. Trent, I'm going to get that right off the top of this incredible golf show that we have here today. We've got Danny Rappaport.

Trent Ryan and yourself and myself yourself. If you're listening to this, you are not me. Frankie Borelli. Rigsie boy is at the Barstool Classic at the Greenbrier today. So he will not be joining the show. He's very busy accommodating to all the Barstool classic attendees and all the players. Fellas, it's Monday morning. It's rainy in New York.

Kind of a nice little like soggy, mournful Monday almost, you know. you know, but the Jets got absolutely murdered yesterday. I'm kind of, I'm in mourning this morning. I don't mind a rainy Monday morning. I really don't. It's, it's been quite nice. I'm drinking a cup of coffee. We're doing the podcast.

Things are moving a little slow. Riggs is at the Barstall Classic. I'm going to the one in Charlotte on Friday, which is the last Barstow classic of the year. So 25 out of 25. We're about to wrap that baby up. Obviously, there will be another one next year and to infinity. But it's been a great Barstle Classic season. Shout to everybody who's come out, who's played, who's

had a good time, who drank a bunch of trullies. It's been a great experience, and I'm excited to do it again next year. You did not go to the Food Fighters concert, which is stunning, because when we were in Aaron Hill, when we were at Aaron Hills, you were talking about, like, I can't wait to go, me and Hannah are going to go. I know Robbie Fox went. I know a bunch of people went. I know the tickets were crazy expensive, but what is the reasoning behind not going?

That's your favorite band in the world. And I've always wanted to see the Food Fighters at a festival. They're playing. Beach Boys were there. The Beach Boys were there. Weezer was there. Revolution. The killers. Uh, Greta Van Fleet. It was a hell of a hell of a festival that I missed all of it. Listen, I had, um, I got a gender reveal party thrown on my plate. My sister had a full party. They did you do for that. That's not part of like a baby shower. My sister had a gender reveal party. She wanted it out. Rock and roll, baby. Wanted it out my house. It was on Saturday. It got ended up getting crazy. We had a bunch of Trullies that night. It was a celebration. You know, one minute, you're popping. You're popping. the blue confetti, which was, it was, it's a baby boy. We were popping the blue confetti. Another uncle, Uncle Frankie's back in the mix. I got another boy coming in. So it's very fun. I'm actually very excited to have another Islanders fan coming to the world. And there was a lot of

stress going into this because they got blue and pink confetti poppers, right? And they were not labeled. And it was Hannah's job to read the paper and see if it was a boy or girl and then hand them the blue or the pink poppers, but they were not labeled. That's so stressful. I had to go over and poke a hole in one of them on the top and see what color was on the needle and then hope that like when she handed it to them, I didn't see the top because it would have ruined the surprise. But whatever.

I got on the drone. It was really cool. We ended up having a bunch of Trulis all night. And we had a late night and a really, really tough wake up in the morning. and I remember just thinking, I remember because it was yesterday, I remember thinking, I just can't go all the way to Jersey right now and go see the food fighters. I had people sleeping over. It was just too much. It was way too much.

I ended up golfing. So, yeah, I just had a Sunday to myself and my buddies came over and we watched football and whatever. I just, I fucking miss the food fighters. It's hard. It's hard to fathom. It is. How does you listen to the food fighters on the golf course is a little home concert? What I did on the food, you know what I did on Sunday?

I brought my iPad out to the golf course and with the case that I have it's got that magnet on the back I basically put it inside the slit of the windshield of the golf cart and it's in the slit right in the slit and I have 5G on the iPad and we watched Red Zone

we watched Red Zone from 12 o'clock till 4 o'clock and we were done with golf and then the Jet game started and I was at home It was the best Sunday I've ever had. I said that on this podcast, I was like waiting because that's what I said is the gold standard of golf carts would be to have basically an iPad built in to the golf cart where you could just put on red zone. Listen, listen, this is an invention and we might have to cut this. Let's get tablets. Let's talk to China.

Let's talk to China. And let's get, China. Let's get mass produced tablets that have red. red zone or let's talk to red zone let's talk to nfl giddell and let's get these tablets coming pre pre um um um like downloaded what what's the word i'm looking for pre downloaded um um preloaded um preloaded subscribed red zone where all you got to do if you're a college kid and you're a golfers you got to purchase this tablet and we're going to come up with some sort of contraption that it goes right on to the golf cart, right onto the windshield,

maybe on to one of like the handles. And all you got to do is turn this thing on, make sure it's charged, and you're going to watch Red Zone every single Sunday. Do you know how much better it made golf, like waiting for the group ahead of you? I didn't care at all. I was just leisurely out there. If I had to wait for one of my buddies of a shot, I was watching Red Zone. I had my fancy team up in my hand.

Oh, Bejan Robinson rush for another touchdown. Great. Oh, I have to hit a nippy little 54 degree. Great. It was perfect. Everything was incredible. It was like watching Red Zone at home except you have a fucking wedge in your hand. Yeah. Yeah, it makes a huge difference when it's not on the phone because obviously, you know, you've been able to stream them on the phone for a long time, but there's just something about having that little tiny screening you're looking down and your

neck starts to hurt at the end of the day. And also when it's your phone, no one else can really watch it. So it's not as much of a collaborative experience. It sounds like it was loud enough for everyone else in the group to hear. That's, uh, that's a, that's a really good fill in for not going to the Food Fighters concert. It was a great day. I got a ton of messages being like, how'd you do this? I was like, it's just an iPad with a case on it. It's not that crazy. But it made me think we could be we can be millionaires off of it. Shouldn't we just make golf carts with screens in them that have that's they have capabilities? I know a lot of them have the screens now. You can kind of see like what the

arches and all that. But there's got to be a way. It needs to be more where Frankie had his iPad. Because when you're, you don't want to be looking up the whole time, especially if it's still doing like Here's the aridage. Here's the whole. I think you need a separate screen in the middle that you can watch Red Zone and NFL Sunday ticket on. We're going to sell it. It's a pretty good idea. I like it.

It's just like a really cheap iPad, basically. Yeah. Yeah. But it has no functionality besides Redzone. Tablets. You ever see these tablets they're selling on like Amazon and shit? You can get one for 80 bucks. They're essentially just preloaded iPads that like whatever you end up wanting on it is just on it already.

Yeah. No, we need to do this. We need to have conversations. I want to speak. I want to have business meetings this week. I want to talk business-wise, as Jersey Jerry likes to say. Chevrolet, they've been our presenting sponsor all year. We love Chevrolet.

We love the mission that Chevrolet is on. They have over 1,900 certified electric vehicle dealerships and over 5,500 EV train technicians. They're bringing you into the future. Chevy's been in the electric vehicle game for over 10 years. They have the knowledge and the skills to sell or service a Chevy EV. It's true. You have less routine maintenance on electric vehicles, one of many benefits.

Obviously, you don't have to stop it. Car, you know, with the car thing, the gas stations, that's where you get the gas for the cars. But if you need, if you do need maintenance on your Chevy EV, they have technicians that are EV certified. The nationwide dealership is a true value to consumers because Chevy's there for you with any electric vehicle questions. It's like when you're making a decision as big as buying a vehicle, you have to think about if something goes wrong. I want this network. I want the national presence of Chevy and I want their EV train technicians. You can learn more at Chevy.com slash electric.

Chevy is bringing you into the EV future. We're there. We're already there. Get an EV. You can rest easy knowing you have all of the support if anything goes wrong. Chevrolet, presenting sponsor of Foreplay. So what did you guys do? How was your guys weekend?

We'll get into all the golf. Obviously Saw Hiff, Justin Thomas, Solon Cup coming up. We've got the Ryder Cup coming up. A lot to get to on the golf front. but I want to hear about your guys weekends before we get into that. It's been a long weekend, beautiful weekend here in the Northeast. I didn't do a ton. Probably not breaking news for a lot of people.

Although I have reopened my social life to a degree. I've been going out a little bit more. I went out after work on Friday and grabbed a couple beers with Nate Dogg and Tommy smokes and John Fidelberg. But then I kind of packed in and I didn't do anything on Saturday. I got a couple texts from Gaz that I had to, you know, it takes a long time for me to get into the city. if I'm already out here, if I'm not in the city, like right after work,

it's going to take me a long time to get back into the city. It would take me two hours to get to where they were. So I hunkered down on Saturday. I just watched football all day. And I guess the highlight was probably the Colorado, Colorado state game, but it kicked off so late that I think it was one morning. Yeah.

Dude, it was tough. And I tweeted that on Saturday about 8 p.m. I was like, I can't believe this huge game is kicking off at 10 p.m. And then, of course, people are like, oh, it's not for me. I'm in mountain time. I'm on Pacific time.

Let me tell you something. My complaints that I make on Twitter are mine. You don't get to jump in on them and critique them if you live in a different place. That was baffling to me. I was like, I can't believe this thing starts at 10 p.m. on the East Coast. And a bunch of people jumped in and were like, you got to move. You're living in the wrong place.

You got to do this. You got to do that. My complaints are my complaints. And they're only about me. They're not about you. But so I only watched like half of that game. And they were down. Colorado was down 2817 when I went to bed.

I just figured they were just like going to lose and the hype train was going to end. I woke up and they won in double overtime and the hype train is full steam ahead, which I love. The whole Colorado thing I am obsessed with just like the rest of the country. So for that to continue, for that to be the biggest story in sports continuing on, I'm very happy with. I am not happy that the game kicked off at 10 p.m., but I am happy Dion Sanders and his sons are 3 and 0.

Imagine being a senior in Colorado right now. your team was complete dog shit one 11 last year one game last year you're in colorado you're in boulder super great city i fucking love boulder i've been there 20 times at this point had i has a bunch of family out there we've been traveling out there for 10 years i absolutely love boulder i spent the halloween in boulder once and things got weird out how many times have you said no to smoking weed in your life. A lot. Because you've been, I just heard I've been to Boulder a bunch of times, like 25 times. Yeah.

And that's all I can think about was you just saying no. There's a lot of weed smokers out there. No, I don't want any of the devil's lettuce. Get that shit away from me. But I spent a Halloween out there and it was fucking, as the kids say, lit. That Pearl Street, every bar was basically like hop. It was like bar hopping all on this one street and you have the mountains around you. And everyone's, I was, we were Mario and Luigi.

It was a lot of fun. But, um, imagine me. a senior and like that just all of a sudden a massive football program just sprung upon you now. Now it's like the number one game. Lil Wayne's walking your team out of the tunnel. It's like what just happened? This team stunk last year. And now we've got the Sanders family taking over football.

We got game day here on a random Colorado versus Colorado state game. What's going on? The Rock was there? The Rock was at your game. If the Rock is that a game of a team that went 11 last year, something's happening. and something is happening. Now, I did ask a bunch of my buddies yesterday when we were on the golf course. Like Colorado has no chance of like doing anything this year. Right. And they said no, like if they win seven or eight games, that's a great season. That is an incredible turnaround from a team that is one in 11 last year. All of a sudden they come in and they're going to go what like seven and four. They're not making a national championship. I'm not like breaking any news here. You're like you're not going to see prime time playing against fucking Alabama. Well, Alabama stinks. But you're not. You're not going to see him playing against, like, Texas or one of these huge Ohio state, Michigan.

That's not happening, right, Trent. Like we can put, that's, that ends right now, that kind of talk. I'll be honest, I don't know. I would say probably not. I mean, you can't, you can't have the recruits. I mean, it's his first year. He brought a bunch of his coaches, a bunch of his players from Jackson State. They're obviously way improved from last year.

So I really don't know the ceiling of this team. I don't know what their ranking is now. I was just trying to look up. He brought his luggage and it's Louis. It's Louis. It is, dude. His sons are legit. They play Oregon and they play SC the next two weeks.

So here's the thing. Even if they don't win the national title this year, which they're not going to. The recruits that this program is going to get, it is the coolest place in the country to play college football. And that is what you need. You need a cool program, which they have. You need a cool head coach, which Dionne Sanders is the coolest head coach in college football history. He is a quote machine. Dude, every time you put a mic in front of him, he says something that is that goes viral.

And that is Danny Connell a pure ho on Twitter. Did you see that? No. Did you see on? So 60 minutes came on right after one of the games. I think it was the jet game or the giant game last night. And they had Dion Sanders. They interviewed him.

And they go, who is the greatest coach in college football right now? And he goes, somebody got a mirror. Dude. That is so good. You go, somebody got a mirror, you go, somebody got a mirror so I can look at them. Dude. Are you kidding me? And that is what young stud high school football players want to play for.

They don't want to go play for just some random team that's not going to do anything. This team is going to get headlines. They've got Lil Wayne. They've got offset. They've got the rock. They've got all of these guys showing up to Boulder. And if you join this team and if you're one of the best recruits in the country, you get to meet all of these people. Dion Sanders is going to buy you shades when the opponent.

hosing coach makes fun of his shade. It's like, dude, it is the biggest story in college football this year. It's the biggest story in college football in 15 years. It is so fucking fun and cool to watch. It is an interesting question, Frankie, that like, how good actually are they

this year? I don't know. They barely beat Colorado State, which like that game historically has never been close. They really haven't played anyone to start this season. But yeah, going forward, when he starts to implement the recruits that want to go to Colorado, look the fuck out. Dude, because that place is going to be a powerhouse.

Well, if you're, like, one of the best college football players in the, or high school football players in the country and you get a call from Alabama and you've got a call from Colorado, you're probably more excited about the call from Colorado right now, which is just insanity. Yeah, I mean, it's a hundred percent. Things are crazy. Things are happening. It is kind of amazing how college football is, like, so much of momentum and about, like, which program has the juice. Like, Alabama loses one game. And Nick Saban is, like, seven years old. And all of a sudden now, it's like, well, I don't know, there's Alabama's rain.

over whereas like colorado wins three games and texas wins a couple games and like yeah because it's the recruits and the transfers and it's way more volatile than it used to be it used to like take time for these turnarounds to happen and now it's literally one year later and they are the like you said probably the biggest story in college football since johnny football i would guess yeah that's what i was thinking yeah like just in terms of you have to watch every single weekend you everyone knows yeah so dandy cannell posted one of those things that was like who's this who's a you know talk show host. He was an ESPN at one point. Yeah. And he goes, should you be storming the field, you know, because they were 30

point favorites and they storm the field. And he just quote tweets and goes, you a pure ho. Dude. It's about the, it's about the journey. We've talked about this with every sport. People get on my ass for crying and screaming with my dad during a, uh, during a first round Islander playoff game. It's, it's the journey. Imagine being that senior that I just described. where you went one and 11 last year, and now of a sudden you're the best college football program in the country in terms of coolness, and the tickets are the highest ticket sales

than any other fucking sport, and you're at that game, and they're winning these games, especially with that kind of comeback, regardless of what the expectations were, you're rushing that field. I don't know why we have rules for how excited you're allowed to be

when your team wins a game. why are you, why do you have to act like you've been there before? There's no fun in that. Nobody says, nobody looks at it and says, oh, look at that fan base. They have acted like they've been there before. That's really cool. Look at them, look at them acting like they don't give a fuck. That's awesome.

Imagine that. What's the fun in sports where you're just like shaking hands in the crowd? Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. Great win. I mean, I think there's probably a little bit of, I mean, we don't get too serious here, but I think he makes a lot of people very uncomfortable.

comfortable. Yeah. Dion. Like I think there's a lot of like good old boys in the South who are like, you know, this is how- been this like field rushing like anti-field rushing bullshit. Well, I do think in the last 10 years and I'm not saying that I don't agree because I think

you're right. fandom is about having fun. But it is way more common now than it like it was. It used to be like you beat the number one team in the country and you rush the field. There has been a proliferation of it. I'm not saying it's bad. The only way, the only people who are saying don't rush the field are people whose brains can't

understand context or that they're on the losing side. Yeah, they just are mad. They're just they're mad. It's like you look at it like, well, they were 28 point favorite. So they shouldn't be starting a field. That doesn't make any sense. But it's bro, it's what Frankie said. It's everything. It's all of it. You were one at 11 last year. Now you got the cool. I don't want to, I'm repeating what Frankie said. You got the coolest program in the country. You guys now have an incredibly bright future. Double O two win against Colorado State in state rival. The game was chippy the whole time, at least for the parts that I was awake for. Just storm the future. field. That's the fact that people even think that there is this line where it's you if you're

favored by this much or if you're not ranked, the other teams run blah, blah, blah, blah. The fuck all of that. Look at the context of what's actually going on. And that is a no brainer field rush every single time. The only thing I could see is somebody having like a romantic thought about storming the field and they want to hold on to it where it's like in the history of storming the field. It's only been for these select moments in sports where it was a David versus Goliath type win. And, you know, the number one ranked team came into an unranked stadium and the team won. And, you know, what was it? Appalachian State beat, uh, Michigan. Michigan. And like, that's just, that's the moment right there. I get that. I get wanting to be romantic about certain things in sports.

And you want to hold things to a higher standard. But at some point, you can't just gatekeep fans wanting to have fun. And like if they if them wanting to have fun is just storming the field, sure, storming the field doesn't have the same, uh, it doesn't signify what it used to signify maybe. Maybe we could just get rid of that. That's fine. Maybe we ruined that. This generation has ruined storming the field.

But I will not get mad at them for doing that. Add it to the list. But it's also, I'm 34. Frankie just turned 30. Day rap is in his late 20s. All these people arguing on Twitter are of our age probably. Great. And then you got a bunch of 19 year olds and bold.

who are like, we don't give a fuck about you guys. What are you talking about? Right. Who cares? We, I'm gonna, I'm gonna enjoy my college experience. The fact that anybody not at that school who is in their, you know, late 20s, early 30s, 40s is like, well, I don't think they should be, I don't think they should be doing that.

Those college kids are like, you fuck you old man, go die. We don't care. They're like, let me see a text. Okay, take a lap. Come back later. Let's see if we can let you in. They don't give a fuck about you. Dude.

People do this. People do this with like, people do this with home run trots. and like bat flips. And it's like, if you hit a wall, if you had a home run in the top of the ninth, maybe it wasn't to win the game.

Maybe it was to draw your team within one run. Are you going to bat flip? Probably. Like, I don't care. It's a way you express yourself. If you were in that situation, you'd be doing the same thing.

I don't understand how everyone thinks everyone in sports is supposed to be cool as a cucumber in all moments. I'm very centric. I like to go crazy. So I definitely sympathize with all these fans that are losing

their goddamn minds in week two, a week three of a college football season. I think that's perfectly normal because it's something that I do in my own household. I don't see where it's a problem. I could kind of see both sides where I said maybe people are holding on to the historical, you know, romantic. I keep using that because it is. There's something romantic about that feeling covered with just human beings of just like,

you just see just dots and you're like, holy fuck, that's 100,000 people almost on that football field right now. And they are going crazy. Maybe people are grabbing some people. You're missing. You're kissing people. You're kissing boys, girls. What's that Creed, Creed Bratton thing where he says,

maybe a guy slipped in? Yeah, it was wet. It was wet, maybe a guy slipped in or two. There's no way of knowing. Have you guys ever rushed a field or a court? I've never rushed a field or a court. I was just about to tell my sort of embarrassing field rush story. It was my sophomore year at Northwestern, and the football team was unranked,

and Wisconsin was like 17th. They weren't like a very good team. Um, but we beat them like probably like 21 to 10 and then, you know, the 3,000 fans in the, in the student section rush the field. It was really embarrassing. Like it was definitely there was like we covered maybe like maybe the logo. Yeah. But we were there. We were excited and we were like, why not?

So that was that was basically it. It was not that complicated. That's what it boils down to. Just if you want to have fun, if you're a college kid like, and again, I'm open the door for everybody to do it. I'm not saying everybody should do it, but whatever, dude. Yeah. This one was like very embarrassing. Like this one was really bad because it was a bunch of Northwestern kids.

It just wasn't a good scene. Ryan Field was on fire that night. Yeah. Are you feeling overheated after a long day on the course? Maybe you're recovering from an intense workout. Maybe you're dehydrated after a long night out, a few too many cocktails. When water alone just won't do the trick, and we've all been there, we've got the solution for you. BioLite, the IV in a bottle.

Biolite is unlike any other hydration drink out. out there. It's the only clinical hydration drink with as many electrolytes as an IV bag. That's right. We're talking serious scientific hydration power here. It was created by an anesthesiologist who saw firsthand the need for better hydration. When his wife was battling cancer and struggling to keep up with her chemo treatments due to dehydration, he knew something had to change. Water, sports drinks, and other electrolyte products just weren't cutting it. So he created biolite, a physician, formulated a hydration drink packed with electrolytes and all natural ingredients like B vitamins, milk thistle, vitamin C, and ginger root that help combat headaches, nausea, and fatigue associated

with dehydration. Dehydration is the enemy. It's the way that you feel not yourself. You feel crazy when you're dehydrated. And you'd have to drink six and a half sports drinks. Imagine that. The amount of sugar, six and a half sports drinks just to match the electrolytes in one bottle of biolate. Say goodbye to excess sugar and hello to. to efficient hydration. So next time, you're in need of serious hydration. Grab an ice cold biolite, drink the entire bottle, and in just 30 minutes or less,

your body will receive the same rejuvenation as IV rehydration therapy. Trust us, it works numbers. Bio light, when water is not enough. And for a limited time, use the code M-E-L-O-N, melon, all caps, M-E-L-O-N to get 15% off your next order of biolite, at drinkbiolite.com. I almost lost my mind on Friday night. Yeah.

So we went to this birthday party for one of Emma's friends, and we were told that it was like a Japanese variety show, which I thought was kind of cool, you know, because you see these Japanese game shows where they're like porn slime on people, and it's very like physical comedy and perform it. And I was like, okay, we're in for something that I think is, you know,

going to be a pretty entertaining night. We get there, we sit down, and there's like three people who are wearing sushi robes, but they're not Asian. They're like clearly just actors. And one person calls out a prompt and they start doing this routine. I turn to Emma and I go, oh my God, it's improv. And she goes, she goes, no, I don't think it is. And then a minute later, it's definitely improv. Either it's improv or it's the single most unfuny scripted comedy content that I

have ever seen in my life. So I got hoodwinked into going to an improv show for two hours. And, you know, Trent, we've kind of talked about freestyle, the concept of freestyle and rap, right? Sure. Not really freestyle, right? But I don't really care. I just, I just want the rap to sound good. Of course. This whole notion of like, oh, this is so amazing. They're coming up with this on the top of their minds. It's like, it just, if it's not funny, it's, I just don't care. It's not, it's not impressive to me that you can say, yes. And, and then you say something else. And then you say something else. And then the crowd's like, oh, ho, ho. And then you come, you run into a wall in the conversation.

And they ring the dong and then everyone claps. Like, it, it was, I hated it. I hated it. I never want to go to an improv show ever again in my life. I don't want to shit on improv as a whole as, as a comedy vehicle. Why? Because good improv is incredible. Like, watch, have you watched Middle Ditch and Schwartz on Netflix?

No. The only one I've seen is the show that they used to do with Wayne Brady. Whose line is it anyway? Yeah. Yeah, that was good. No, I am saying that, like, good improv is, it feels incredible. And you, like, can't believe that it's happening. I am also saying bad improv is like just watching people talk uncomfortably.

And it's, it's about as bad as it gets. But it's just like bad standup and good standup. Like when you watch really good standup, you're like, oh, my God, this is incredible. Then when you watch bad standup, you're like, I can't wait for this to end. Seeing bad improv is tough. But I do recommend watching middle ditch and shorts on Netflix because that's incredible Impro. It was more just me thinking that I was like in such a sleuth and so smart for realizing that this was improv right away. I was like, oh, wait a minute. He just, he just came up with that

in his head. And I turn around. I'm like, this is improv. Everyone's like, yeah, I think that's like pretty clear that it's improv. How many people were there? There was probably a hundred people. It was like a bunch of different tables and you like got drinks and stuff. It was pretty fun, except for the improv part of it. It was terrible. I just, I wasn't into it at all. So I felt very hoodwinked. And I was upset. And then I played golf. on Saturday with my pals, which is a perfect day. One of the first days where it wasn't,

you know, you didn't have swamp ass, which was great. And then I watched football all day yesterday and didn't and watched. Sawai Thigala. I watched our guy get his first victory on the PGA tour. And the PGA tour just loves the Figala family.

I mean, the posting yesterday was, it was a feel good family. It was like they, do you see they did a video of asking every person there to describe him in one word? Like all of his, he had like 35 people that were there following him, which is great, right?

Like I were told, they asked every single person and they're like loving, gentle, kind, heart like, hard working. It's like, okay. One person was just like, asshole. Yeah. And his mom's like gentle. And the whole thing was just like, he's too nice and he will never say anything. And, you know, if you're going to do one or two posts, but I thought that like there was like 17 posts about the Bigala family yesterday,

which I just thought was maybe a little bit exploitive. But Sa'ath is a winner on the PGA tour, which is excellent to see. He plays the game a super fun way, shapes it all over the place. Justin Thomas played well. So it was for a fall event that doesn't really have a lot of juice and it's going up against football. It was actually a pretty good, pretty good result. Got a couple of good champions the last couple of years. Homa, Homa.

Yeah, Homa Higala is pretty good. The Cali boys like to play well at home. And winning a golf tournament in Napa is probably really fun because that's a great place to just extend your stay a couple days. For sure. Definitely. Yeah. So that's huge for him. He's obviously become a bigger name.

Thanks to, you know, just him being a very, you know, he's just himself. And that's what I like about him. He's super, super nice. And that doesn't come off like, sometimes those guys come off nerdy on the golf course. Or you're like, oh, he doesn't have anything redeeming about himself to be a fan of him. But for some reason, he's just like he's so genuine. Maybe it's because we've had a chance to talk to him and he's been on Dan's show. And he's been, he's warm.

He's, yeah, but he's just like, I don't know how to explain him. Like, I just really root for his success because it means a lot to him. And he, like, he shows that he wears everything on his sleeve. Like, you can see it. He's, he's happy and then he's super sad. Like, he, everything is right in front of you with Sawyth. And I was really happy to see him get that victory. It's been a long time coming.

He is going to be a force on the tour for sure. This guy's legit. You've been saying it for a long time day. This guy is the fucking real deal. Yeah. I mean, I just go back to the first time that I became aware of his presence, we're playing a junior golf tournament. And on the leaderboard, they would show the name,

and then they would show the year that they were graduating. And I remember seeing this guy was like three years below me, just blowing everybody out. And his name was Saw It the Gala, which was not a name that you saw at golf tournaments very often back then. Like, it was a bunch of white kids named Brock and Tucker and Davis. And so I remember being like, who is this kid? And then I remember seeing him on the driving range the next day.

And he was the same size that he is now. at like 12 years old or 13 years old. I was like, oh, God, this guy, as you would say, this guy's going to be a problem. And then I just kind of followed him throughout college. And he's been great at every level. And I think his personality is very warm and appealing. And he's infectious and they have this energy.

And I think Netflix did a great job. I also think his game is just super fun to watch. He's got this swing that you would not find in any instruction manual. He's got like this crazy amount of bend through impact. You know, he had straws. His short game is really dirty. It just looks very home. made and I think there's a certain every man appeal that he has and yeah we saw it I think it was last

year at the waste management when he first contended and then he you know he was crying afterwards about how much it meant to him that's just it's what you want to see out of athletes you know you you we kind of romanticize the tiger the tiger outlook of like you're never going to celebrate a victory because you're thinking about the next one or you know you lost but you don't want to show any weakness because you're just thinking about what's next but like you said side is just he's right there. There's nothing that's hidden. It feels like you know him because he has nothing to hide. He's such a nice kid with such good energy that there's no, there's no dark side. There's no like part that he doesn't want to show. And the PJ tour, like I said, did an incredible job of getting,

we know everybody in the solid, I think all the family now. The first time we had him on the show was at Myrtle Beach. That was yeah, and came with us. And he was so good. And he was living like in Houston with a couple of buddies. He was very modest. and he was talking about how much chess he plays. I don't know how much chess he's playing these days. But yeah, as soon as we had him on, I was like, I like this guy. I hope he does well.

And yeah, it seems like he's going to be a force on the BJ tour, which is exciting. Yeah. Where did he make that big run? Was it at the waste management? It was waste management. Yeah. And then he hit it in the,

he got like a horrible bounce on 17. Yes. And hit in the water. It's like dead left. Yeah. But that was another one. That was like your first introduction to this guy wearing it on his sleeve. He was like,

essentially crying, walking up the green, thinking, I just blew it. And you're like, holy shit, the whole entire crowd was behind him the whole entire day. Yeah, man. So I'm really happy that he got that dub. The DP World Tour, the BMW PGA championship, insane leaderboard for the European Ryder Cup team. I mean, you just look up and down that list. Every single guy played well. I mean, you go through it. It's Fox, Ryan, and then it's Hatten, Rom. That fucking guy, Ludwig Aberg is an absolute problem. He did have a bad fourth round. He was four over, but finishing 12 under par, that guy's ridiculous. And you had Hovlin, Fleetwood, Mac or Roy.

It's just the list went on and on in the top 10. These guys are playing some golf. Yeah, I think nine of the 12 guys on the team, so they all played, all 12 of them played, which is another thing. The U.S., most of the guys haven't played since the tour championship competitively. All 12 played of the Europeans played. Nine of them were in the top 18 of the tournament. It's starting to feel like, I don't know.

I haven't checked Vegas this morning, but it's starting to feel like they're almost the favorites at this point. And that might be, that might look silly in a couple weeks, but I don't know if it's just because of the way that they're playing right now. They just kind of feel like they have the mojo, like they have the juice. Plus 137.

Is that what it is? Plus 137. So the Americans are still favorite in Vegas, but I just, I think between, you know, all of them together this week, all of them,

I just think, I think they're all staying over in Europe. I don't think that the guys are coming back to Florida and then going over to Europe. I think they're kind of there now for good. I just feel like one through one through nine. And Ludwig looks like he's already, you know, a top, what, 20 player over the last, you know, six months. So if you have those one through six that we've talked about a lot with Rom, Hovland, McElroy, Fleetwood, Hatton, Fitzpatrick, and then you add Ludwig because it feels like

he's just as good as those guys are. now, they have eight guys who can go toe to toe with the Americans top eight without question. And it'll be interesting to see how they set up the golf course because, you know, last time they were in in France, they made it super narrow and super long rough. But that's not really the team. That's not really the European team. Like those guys hit it far. Macwood, like it's not the same where there's a bunch of bunters, like it's a bunch of

Sergio Garcia's and a bunch of Ian Poulters and these guys who don't hit it very far, but hit it very straight, Molinari, Casey, like, they've got world-class players who are bombers and they don't need to do anything special to that golf course to have a chance. So, yeah, I think that they, if I had to bet, I probably would take Europe out a plus number right now. I hope those odds flip because I am hammering Team USA. I know you've been on this. Bro, it's, I just think, and I get it. All those things you said are valid.

but we're just we're literally just not talking about team usa we're only talking about team europe which i get a berg rom rory hatton all these guys are great but i really still think and vegas agrees that team usa is the favorite you just never know how guys are going to react in a rider cup and a berg is he's the wild card right like he's playing out of his mind he's lighting the world on fire but the rider cup is more different than any tournament you can enter as opposed to like a dp world never played a major never played a major the heat and the pressure that he's going to feel when he pulls up to Rome is going to be out of this world now people can play this clip back in however long in like a month and team europe blows out team USA and a berg is the talk of the town it happened a little bit with scotty shuffler and i know you tweeted about it dan yeah scottie shuffler was largely a nobody until that rider cup and then he beats john raman singles on sunday and he's the number one player in six months could that happen to a berg absolutely but i just i'm very curious to see how he plays in the Ryder Cup because it's such a different atmosphere,

especially for a guy, like you said, who has not played in a major. Would you throw him out there first round of matches, like with Rory? Like, how would you handle it? You'd throw him right into the fire? Yes, I think you have to.

You can't have him waiting. You can't have him sitting there. Yeah, you match him up with a big star and you just let him rip. You remember it was years ago now, but it was Rory and Thomas Peters. Thomas Peters, yeah. That's right.

They were, I mean, they were a full, And I think Rory is the perfect guy to match a guy up with who is like, bro, I'm Rory. You know me. This whole crowd knows me. Nobody knows you, but we're going to go out there and we're going to beat these guys' brains in and we're going to set the tone. That is what I would do. Do you think Thomas Peters was having fun that day or no?

Probably not. It's probably like, damn. He's not having fun if he's not, yeah, if he's like not out to dinner with somebody he doesn't want to. Nobody went to dinner with me last night. But that's what I would do. I think that's probably what they will do. If I were...

I think, yeah, I think you got to throw him to the fire. You don't want him waiting. I'm interested to see how they handle Mr. Fitsy because Mr. Fitzpatrick has the arguably, not arguably, I think he has the worst Rider Cup record, like, of anyone of all time. He's the only guy since, like, 195 to play two rider cups and have zero points. He's 0, 0, 0, 6. Guys who don't play well in rider cups, that is, that, the psychology of that is fascinating. Like, Tiger wasn't a great Rider Cup guy.

No, he was good on singing, he had a good singles record. um not like that guy i think he's like four three and one or something but his team record was terrible guy hates team sports it's like if you if he doesn't get all the credit he's like i don't give a fuck yeah he's like screw this no it's interesting we got our own wild cards on our team though we've got we're sending out brian harmon and windham clark to just the fire also i know that these guys obviously have performed in massive massive stages but everyone says the rider cup your first one you're never you don't you never know what to expect until you hit that first t-shot so um i i don't know man i i think that it's a it's a coin flip right now which is

crazy to say based off of the slaughter by the water that happened at whistling straits it's just recency bias has me has me lean in that it's going to be a tough one for the u s to pull out i want to put an uncomfortable amount on team usa i'm with you i think i'll do it i'm i'm a man that'll bet a 50-50 coin flip i'll definitely bet heads every single time i don't care i'll bet u s a with you we'll have to talk about a number because i want to put something on there that That's like, you're talking four digits? Oh, he's talking four digits. I'm definitely talking four digits.

Yeah, we'll talk about this. Yeah, we'll talk about it. But I just, well, first of all, to make it, I mean, the Ryder Cup is already the best event to watch. But that'll make it even better when Team USA is when Justin Thomas and Jordan Speed are just throwing darts at these guys, throwing them in their neck. We're going to be going crazy. So we might have to do. Dart in your neck. As we move throughout the year, hot summer temperatures are finally giving weights, cooler mornings and evenings.

And Trent, we've talked a lot about this. This is our time of year. This really is our time of year. And Peter Millar has the best stuff for this time of year. A little crisp in the air this last weekend. I went outside and I thought, there's that autumn crisp. And it's very nice. And Peter Millar, they've got the stuff to outfit you for this time of year.

If people are watching on YouTube, I've got this Peter Millar hoodie that is, it's so nice. It's actually like a zip up hoodie. I wear it everywhere, especially when the weather is a little crispy. The Beaumont. The Beaumont hoodie. This thing is nice. I got it in green, I got it in blue. I wear it all the time.

So if you are trying to prepare for fall, Peter Millar is the place to go. I just remember that meme. You remember that meme that's like, wait till the fall. I really start dressing. I really start dressing. I really start dressing.

So that's, we're at the fall. That's why our friends of Peter Millar are currently are constantly developing lightweight layers perfect for the changing season. This year, as we talked about, they've introduced an all new hoodie, the Beaumont. This thing is special. It's a special hoodie. If features performance benefits like four,

way stretch, moisture wicking fabric and easy care in a classic casual design. A ribbed fleece interior allows for lightweight warmth that won't leave you overheated. Whether you're heading to town or layering up for your next round, do it in style with Peter Millar performance pullovers. Head over to Peter Millar.com to shop their full range of performance pullovers as well as the entire Peter Millar line. Speaking of Justin Thomas, good showing this week. Needed that.

Needed that. Well, Zach Johnson's a genius. That's what it boils down to. It's like, we're going to pick this guy. We know what he's going to do and he's going to play well. He's Justin Thomas. Like, people see people for like a month forgot about that. And I kind of understand why, but I also kind of know.

He did shoot 81 twice in the majors this year. So it's, but yeah, I mean, I think that's something that people maybe weren't talking about enough going into it. It was like when they made the picks, the tournament was still like four weeks away or five weeks away. So it wasn't like, okay, Justin Thomas shot 81 on Tuesday. and he's got to play in the Rider Cup on Friday. He had plenty of time and he brought out the pool noodles and he told his dad to sit down in the closet. He said, I'm going to do it myself, Dad. Obviously, that's not exactly what happened.

But he does seem to be more out there on his own. But that was big because I think if he missed the cut, you know, that or didn't play well or shot something high, you know, that's the pick that has fired people up for whatever reason. You know, JT's been kind of a fiery character. And it would have been a take cycle. if he had missed the cut. There was a call. There was a decision that was made in our own Rider Cup that is similar to the JT situation. And I'm not going to talk about it yet.

The Rider Cup is coming out on the Barstool Sports YouTube page. I think it's coming out. It's out. Monday, Tuesday. Oh, yeah, it's out right now. So you would have seen, you would have seen episode one, which was the draft last night. So, and tonight is episode two. which is match one. Alex, is that correct? Alex behind the booth?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Tuesday will be match one. What time is coming out? Because I know the first one today is coming out at 2 p.m. Yeah, I'm not sure about the next ones, but I think we're trying to do afternoon for a lot of them. Who is match one? It's the Kirk, Kirk versus Francis, if you remember that. That's the right answer. So Kirk versus Francis. I think Aaron Foster was out there. It was Kirk and Hank versus Aaron. and Francis. Gotcha. So that's today.

Episode two. Oh my God. Bro, this stuff is, I've seen some of the footage. I've watched our guys working on it. People have obviously seen the teaser. This is some of the best content barstle sports will put out this year. Bar none. Bar none ever. It's just, you get that much, that much Barstle sports personalities, that many personalities altogether. And it's, ooh, it's good. So peek behind the curtain. This was our biggest idea for the year. Foreplay, we get together around November, December, right around like when we do Taylor Made Media Day.

And we start thinking of things that we want to do for the next year. I remember in November, we were kind of getting together. And I sent Hank a couple text messages and talked to Trent and Riggs. And we were like, this, the idea that we have all these golfers at Barstall Sports. And a lot of them don't really collaborate. And we all do our own separate videos probably was falling on us a lot of the time. for just not inviting some people and like letting everyone just do their own things and it was just weird like and i think it was pretty evident that like every single brand was doing their own golf

videos and we were never doing anything together we all worked for barcel sports we had to put an end to it it's fucking crazy so this idea was to bring every single person that does golf or as many as we could get there obviously as you can tell from the from the trailers ryan whitney and biz they weren't there they had other prior commitments i think i think the nchel thing when now Nashville was happening. Yeah, they were doing the draft. And it was just bad timing on that part, which is a huge mess. We need to have Whitney and Biz involved in it next time.

But because of like sponsors and because of bringing all of these different brands together, we couldn't have it on the four play channel. And it felt like we were getting like our baby taken away from us with like this was our thing. Like we were going to get 12 or however minute people end up being golfers to one resort. We were going to play Ryder Cup. Like I had it all written out. like this is it. This is going to be the best golf content on YouTube and like we're going to do it.

That's our fucking thing compared to every other golf brand that's out there on all these other channels. This was going to be it. We have Dave versus fucking Riggs. All amazing. Big cats. I mean, big cat.

Fierre and Foster. Hank everybody was there. Jersey Jerry. We were all there. And I was like a little bit nervous. I'm like, oh my God, it's not going to be our thing anymore.

We're not going to have like our hands on it. Our editors aren't going to be able to do it because it kind of gotten taken away from us. It was like it's going to be this. big barstool YouTube production. There's too many sponsors to like put it on to one. We're going to do it on the main one. And lo and behold, our editors have full control over it now. It is still going on the barstool YouTube page. But the reason why I say that is because I genuinely now think that it is the greatest golf content on YouTube. I've seen the footage.

I watched the trailer. I've heard about the things that are happening in these matches. I was there knowing how intense $30,000 were on the line. It was a real fucking tournament. It was a real championship, like with blood, sweat and tears and screaming and fucking and just and like cut throat like mean jabs and and and really getting under people's skin. Kirk Minahan Francis like you can't even the fact that like it I for a second thought it wasn't going to work. I'm like we're going to send these out to editors that never really work on golf content like this was supposed to be our thing. We were going to fucking murder it. Brennan Jones, Alex, Jared, Kyle Timms, all these guys were going to fucking, it was going to be pure, pure golf.

And now it is, it is. They got it under control. Brendan, Alex, Jared, Kyle, all these guys that have been working behind the scenes. They're doing this video on top of all the things that we're doing for our channel. This is going to be two straight weeks of nonstop, incredible golf content. So please, if you're listening to this, go watch these. You're not going to regret it. it is going to be so good you're going to be waiting for us to do this again because i can't

even describe how intense it ends up being it's so fucking good dave and dany rap i mean like it's just like all things got super personal super personal yeah things got really personal i also want to get out ahead of the fact that i just had just a mount vesuvius of a pimple uh right next to my mouth the whole the whole time the whole time it showed up like four days like two days before the tournament started and I did every single treatment known to man and had no luck. I said to the camera, I remember saying, I just want to get ahead of this. I know this is here. It's not herpes.

Like, let's just move on. I don't know if that made the final cut. So anyone who's listening, just know that I'm okay. It's nothing infectious. It was just a pit bull that I picked. It is going to be great. You know, it jams up our YouTube a little bit just because we've got our editors on it. But the fact of the matter is, is we've got the best golf editors on the planet. So it's like if we want this to be as good,

as the footage is, it's got to be our guys. So I'm very excited for it. People are going to love it. People are fired up for it. Yeah. No, it's going to be great. And we're definitely going to have to take like a two week break for our content

because these guys are legitimately finishing each video as they come out. It's just the way that it works. They didn't have time to do this while we were busy. We've been putting out two videos a week. We have two podcasts every week. We have a featured video every single week. This stuff takes a lot of time. As you know from other golf,

brands. They only put out one video a week. It's hard to do. We've been fucking cramming in content as much as we can. We're going to have to take two weeks off. It is what it is. It's worth it because it's all on the main bar still YouTube. You're going to be able to still see it. That's our guys. That's our, that's our production, getting put, putting all of our finishing touches on it. So make sure you go watch that. It's, it's prime time, uh, YouTube viewing. Throw it up on the TV. It's so fucking good. It's just when they're, when you're playing for something and I talked Kirk about this. We had them for Barstle Goss, which we'll be coming out after all of this comes back. Eventually. He said like, and we've talked about this a million times with Barstool,

where we've created this world where we can just make up our own little challenges and it feels like the most important thing in the world. And it is the most important thing in the world for that week, that day. You have, you know, the Chicklets Cup. You feel like you're playing in an NHL game. You've got thousand people sitting around a hockey rank and you get to go play a hockey game. You have Rough and Rattie, where you go out there and you actually box. in prime time boxing paper view in a heavyweight batted fight with lights coming down on you and music. When do you get to do that?

No other time in the world unless you're a fucking professional boxer. We have golf tournaments where we get to play against legitimate pros. We've teed off in front of Max Homa to try and beat him in a match on a golf course. These are things that we've created for ourselves that end up being insanely, insanely pressure-filled moments in our lives. and we just, like, created them out of nothing. Like, it shouldn't be pressure, Phil. We just, like, came up with the idea ourselves.

You know what I mean? It's not like we're playing in any institution or any fucking league or anything. It's just something that we created in a fucking golf course. This Rider Cup produced so many nerves that I talked to Kirk and I said, I don't know that playing in the real Rider Cup would make you feel any more nervous. I don't know that your body can physically, this is my point. I don't know that your body can physically get more nervous than what I felt standing over one of these t shots was like my my neck was pulsating my hands actually had a

heartbeat in them holding the golf club and I'm thinking to myself if I was any more nervous I'd be dead it was it was my first time spending a lot of time around a lot of these people um and yeah playing golf in front of Dave when you are the scratch golfer and you're the best golfer on foreplay and there's only one way to go when those are the expectations And that's disappointment. Because if you play well, it's like, yeah, this guy fucking plays golf all the time. Of course, if you play bad, that's when things can really get ugly. So you're right.

You know, pressure is a privilege, Billy Jean King. And I felt pressure all week. And if it was a real privilege, it's probably the number one thing I get asked most about on the road is like, when is writer cup coming out? When is writer cup coming out? So I think there's definitely buzz. And we just got the link in our group chat, the preview link. So it's happening. It's fine.

The grass is so chaotic that it's its own video. It was just, it was Dave and Dan going at it about who they're drafting and what was happening with all of that. And a practice round and ends up being a part of that video. So God, I can't wait to watch this. I mean, we can say this now and it's not really a spoiler because the episode's been out for 24 hours. Like, I'm on Dave's team and you guys are on the other team. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we're on big kids.

And Riggs is on team, uh, team Dave as well. But what, the reason I brought that up is because of the pressure you're talking about like, I'm drafted on to. Dave Portnoy's golf team at that point. And I'm not on Dave Portnoy's golf team. Which was a whole thing if you watch the video, which everyone should. He wanted me and then like the Big Cat stole me and it was like I didn't know if I was supposed to say I'm not going to be on Big Cat's team. I almost, I had a conversation with someone off camera saying, do I say I'm not a part of

this event? You were going to protest. I was going to protest being a Big Cat's team. But then I was just like, you know, you got to go with it. You got to spread your your wings and fly, baby. You're not, you got to go against, you got to go against the eagle. And it was not easy. No, no.

Well, we all are in a position during an event like that where we are the golf guys at Barstool Sports. So there is already a built-in expectation, even more so for a guy like Danny. But we are the guys who get to go everywhere and golf all the time and play all the time. So we are looked at as the guys who are supposed to play well. So that's tough, even if you're on Dave's team or if you're on Big Kat's team, dude, the whole thing. And we've talked about it at Lake now. But everybody just go watch it. Watch every episode that comes out.

The drama is nonstop. and yeah, you'll love it. Yeah, this is the part of the year where I start to feel like an asshole to our editors because it's like, hey, I want to do this. And Brendan's like, dude, I don't think you understand. Like we're tied up. And I'm like, no, let's do this down the other. He's like, stop, stop coming to me with ideas and let me edit these videos.

And then you're like sitting there watching TV and you're like, I should be working. I should be pitching this. I should be pitching this. But it's physically impossible for us to get more content into our 20, 23 slate without like, fucking, you know, sponsors and the whole like YouTube cadence up. So we are completely back. We still have this. We still have the Shane Lowry video still a month away from coming out.

We have, we have, you know, the Dave and Jerry match, which hasn't come out yet. Like there, they're still so, I think these guys are going straight through the end of the year. Yeah. Our guys are underwater. And they're more underwater than they're willing to tell us. They'll always, Brendan will always be like, yeah, no, no, we're, yeah, we'll get that in. We'll work it. We're just right.

We're editing this Rider Cup stuff. And, you know, in case you missed the headlines, Barstle went through a bunch of layoffs. Luckily, we did not lose any guys. You know, all of our guys are still there. Noah on. Shout out to Noah. We love you and we miss you. He edited all my social videos and he's gone. Yeah. So you, we lost like people like that. So now it's all solely on

our guys, you know, Brendan, Kyle, Jared, and Alex. So it's you just, you know, we're going to get through it, but the Ryder Cup is going to be worth it. I promise you that. It's so good. Just a update. They're, they're going to come out after the Yak Monday through Thursday this week and next week. So 2 p.m. Monday through Thursday right after the yak on the bar

stool YouTube incredible stuff absolutely incredible stuff cannot wait for that first match. I've got something going on that I'd like to talk to you guys about. Let's hear it. Wow. Luke Holmes followed me on Twitter or on Instagram. Oh what do I do I know? I was going to say how do you typically handle a celebrity follow-out do you DM you just let it go now when did this happen? How do I do nothing. When did this happen last night? How did you not immediately text me when this happened? Because I want to talk about the podcast.

So now here's something. I'm also holding a Home Depot. I'm holding a Home Depot pencil because I do man shit now. I like, I draw, I draw pencil markings on, on walls and I poke holes in them. And then I put,

I put little dollies in them and I fucking drill, I drill man shit into the walls now. But I want to say this to you, Trent, is so a couple months ago, or a month ago, during Luke Combs's tour, he came out with a video where he was hitting drives on the main stage at Foxborough in New England. And he was hitting balls into a driving net.

And I said, we need to get this guy on a four play video. Me and Trent will just go wherever we have to go. And we'll just play. We'll just play three of us just like having, you know, having a couple trillies drinking and just and playing some golf. I thought that would be a great YouTube video. Luke Holmes is a fucking mastermind. I love everything that he does. Sunday morning man.

She woke up fighting mad. He's a superstar. So I thought, oh, maybe I'll text Caleb Presley. He went to high school with him. He's like in the video with him announcing his new album. I'm like, this would be an easy ask. I don't ask Caleb for The Rock's number or, you know, Ed Shearant's number or Drake's number. I'm like, hey, so I texted Caleb.

I'm like, yo, dude, like, would be awesome if you could connect me with whoever I need to be connected with. me and Trent have to play golf with this guy. Like we got it. Like this is, he just went viral for hitting a drive on his stage, prepping for his concert. This is a golf guy. And I got no answer.

I kind of got big time by my boy Caleb, which is fine. Caleb's a fucking mega star. He's a superstar. Sunday conversation is like the greatest thing to ever watch on Sundays. It might be better than watching football. It's the greatest thing of all time. So I thought that dream was dead.

That's the only reason I bring that up. I thought that dream was dead. And now you're telling me that Trent Ryan has full. access to this guy. Come on. Let's draft something up right now. All right. So I obviously knew that whole backstory. And that's why I brought it up because I know that we have been wanting to get in contact with Luke Combs. And then he followed me out of nowhere to last night on Instagram. So come on. Do we want to draft one up now? What do we want to do? Yes. Because we're definitely going to DM him. Sunday morning Man Street. I mean, I fucking love that guy. Dude, I know. I know. And I want I wanted to text you immediately,

but I figured we should do this on the podcast. So. All right. I think you got to write something, man. Be like, hey, all right, what are we going to write now? Because we like to, Danny, I don't know if you've ever been a part of one of these, but we like to draft up DMs live on Instagram, on the podcast. And we let the people know what we're sending. And if we get a response. So we haven't had one of these in a long time.

What was the last one we sent? This has not happened since I've been part of the show. I do want to say the hit rate's not great because Ricky Fowler can go for three years. All right. So create chat with me. It's probably one of the weirdest things we do, but it does work. sometimes. You got to shoot your shot.

Otherwise, what's, what's the value of him following you? You can't. he definitely followed me last night. Patrick Cantley liked my wedding post. Who did? Patrick Can't lay.

Oh, that's nice. I didn't know he followed me. It was very nice. So thank you, Patrick. You should come on the show still. I know. Yeah.

Verified Luke. Busy for the Rider Cup after the record. Verified Luke Colmes followed me last night. Okay. So what, how do we want to approach? That's a crazy random follow. Dude,

I was late at bed and like, what? No, I posted nothing. I didn't tag him. I didn't do anything. Are you going to go for Hey Luke or Hey, man or just or just get right.

Hey man. I think it's a Hey man. Hey man. Hey, Luke is just like, whoa. Yeah. Hey, Luke is like a, that's like a business email. My mom calls me.

He's got on Instagram. He's got a lot of followers. I think, I think you get straight to the point with this guy. I think he's a straight shooter. I think he's got a good sense of humor. I think he knows the whole deal. I think he's a golfer.

I think he's a golf guy. I think you send this, I think you send this straight from the hip without even thinking. I think you go, Hey man, Hey man, big fan. And then I think you just hit them with a couple dot, dot, dots. And you just go, we got a, we got to golf together.

We'd love to see it up sometime. Hey, man. Hey, man. Hey, big man. Hey, big man. You're right. Do you right. Know you're a big golfer.

Would love to do something with you one of these days. Done. Don. Don. No, you're a big golfer. Say what you said again. Wait, here's the thing. Do you make it clear that you want to make content out of this?

or do you just make it seem like you just want to play golf with him? Either way, dude. You're not concerned. Cameras are coming either way. We're going to say. I'm bringing my watch and it's Louis. So here's what I like. I like what you said,

but now I want to get the nitty gritty of. Is it Hey man exclamation point? Big fan? No. Hey man. Just Hey man comma. Hey man comma. Big fan.

I don't know. Why do you need to say big fan? If he followed you, you don't need to be like, I'm a fan. You know, you could just be like, hey man, I'm just nice. It's just nice. It's nice. Hey man, big fan. Would you like to play on Sunday morning?

Wait, so let's talk punctuation. Just hey, big fan, period. I like to throw a couple dots in there. It's like, I don't know it might not be grammatically correct, but I like to throw like a two or three dot or three dot or to be like. That's feel ominous to me. No, I go like, hey man, big fan dot dot dot dot. It's just like, I'm, hey man, big fan.

I'm going to keep this thing going. the period's like, whoa. Hey, how many dots are you thinking? I throw like two dots. I throw two dots in there. Okay. I hate the dots. I think the period's like, whoa.

I think I'm going to go one period. Oh, shit. Hey, man. If I saw the period, I'm thinking, whoa. It's a part of the sentence structure. All right. I can't just run. I don't know that DMs are usually sentence structure type places.

Well, this is why I didn't get a response from Caleb Presley. All right. So. No. All right. No, you're a big golfer. Comma.

Or do you say, know you're a big golf guy. Or would love to play soon. No, you're a big golf guy. Comma. Be like, we got to get you on,

we got to get you on the show. We got to get you on the show. See, that's, we got to get you on the show. Hit him straight. Hit him straight. We got to get you on the show,

dude. I get you on the show one of these days. Does the show mean, like, zoom in for a podcast, or does that mean play golf together? Either one, man. No, I think with this, I think this first one, I think we do, we got to play golf together. Yeah.

It's less. And then that sort of leaves the door open to it just filming a video with him. All right. Send it. Hey, man, big fan. No, you're a big golf guy. It's a lot of bigs. No, you're a big golf guy.

Oh, shit. There's a lot of bigs, but just keep going. No, you're a big golf guy. Then what? What if you just said, no, you're a golf guy? You got rid of one of the bigs. Do you have to be a big golf guy? He's a huge golf guy.

Hey man, huge golf fan. Hey man, huge fan. I know you're a big golf guy. A lot of, you might be thinking that you're, no, no, no,

no, this is like what I do with Brian Harmon. You're fucking huge golf guy. This is what I do with Ryan Harmon where I say, you know, yeah, he, uh,

he misses very small and he, he had a little chance to lose. It's not like that. No, you're a big golf guy, comma. He's tiny. We got to get out in play sometime.

Yep. Done. Send it. Don't even think of. Don't even think of. about it. Out and play some time. Done. Send. Hey man, huge fan. No,

you're a big golf guy. We got to get out and play some time. Bang. I just sent it. Man, all these people that follow us just regret it instantly because it becomes a segment on the show where we have to curate a DM to them immediately once they he's looking on Instagram. Oh, look at this guy from Iowa. Oh, he's a barsook. I think I know

Trent. Bang. He follows and immediately it's like it's a segment. That's what it is, dude. You know, I don't know what to tell you. It's a great job, Trent. Hopefully we get a higher success rate than the Ricky Fowler ones. We're not, we're swinging and missing recently.

Ricky responded to my first one, if you remember, and then he goes to me on the second one. It's unfortunate. We'll find out. Happens part of the game.
