It's a throwback show as we carve our way through a bunch of From The Galleries. First, we breakdown reformed Brooks Koepka continuing to keep his foot on the media relations gas pedal. Then, in From The Gallery, we get into the best golf drinks, wearing a black glove, “golf dome” etiquette, how to most effectively attend a golf tournament, and much more.

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. Honda Classic Week. Honda Classic really took a kick in the nuts with a new schedule. Not a lot of the big names are playing, not as big as usual. We got Supreme Golf. Big thanks to Supreme Golf. They're the presenting sponsor for the entire year.

There's how I really nutseated four there. Love that. Because that's the show name. Yeah, it was really nice. Supreme Golf, look. Every time you book a tea time, he need to book it through Supreme Golf. Go to their website,

spring golf.com, get the app in the app store. We got kind of a weird setup going on here today. I didn't know if we were going to talk about it. This room changes every time I come down here. We're in a shapeshifting room. I feel like if we walked outside of this room right now, all turned around and came back in,

it would be different. The only constant in this room is that I'm sitting in a bright pink chair. It's the only thing that The only thing that remains the same about this ever-changing room is that Frankie Burrale sits in this Boiling hot pink chair I feel like we're in like the Kind of the waiting like loungey area of like a women's clothing store

Yeah And like this is where you sit where you're in when your girlfriend's trying stuff on This is where you sit in this room right You just look around and you're like nothing There's like bamboo this is like the thing I have in my room over here This little tree there's a little like a bamboo tree right to the left. And what do you think that thing is?

Like 10 feet tall, frankly? He's about like 2 and a half feet tall. I think that's like one Zah. Oh. I mean, why are you taking a shot at Zah? How was that a shot? Why are you using him as terms of measurement?

Why is that a shot? Why are you using him? That's what he is. Yeah, but why are you using this? Zah is one of these bamboo trees tall. So you're telling me if that thing was like six feet tall, you would have been like, oh, that's like one rigs? I could.

I really could. I don't think you're saying that very honest. We always compare heights. I'm going to put that percent at zero. I think so, too. We always compare heights. Like, oh, you think that guy's taller than that? Do you think you're as tall as that?

Like, how tall is he? Oh, I don't know. It's about this high. How tall was that thing? I mean, I just happen to say that that's about a zah height. Okay. Just to give the people at home. Like that light right there.

That's about a coldy. I mean, I think that's a great thing to start doing. You think so? All right. No, I mean, if that's how you meant it, you know, but it's about intent. This is a golf podcast. A lot of talk about it. It's always about intent.

The intent was good. All right. So if your intent was legit, that's fine. We'll take it. So I wanted to have Lurch on this show and talk about Abico, just because it's great to reminisce and talk about the whole thing with somebody who was there. Lurch is a real person with a real-time job, so he can't be here. What a sucker. He's got a full-time job like an idiot.

And then he's going to be... This full-time job right now is just like, steaming mad. He's steaming. He's texting me frantically. What can I do to be on? I was like, look, our schedule, you know. We have 25 podcasts and one podcast, dude. Yeah, we're not even in that one.

No, we're in the weird one downstairs, which is the women's clothing store. We're in the shape-shifting room. It's also a lot better to do it during the day instead of like being here until 9 o'clock in night. Well, I got me, we got, I got a dinner tonight, a work dinner tonight too. Oh, so like radio and rigsy worked in a work dinner. I feel like that's two nights in a row. It's two nights in a row. How does like, how does a work dinner work in Barstall?

Because is it different than a work dinner in the regular? You know, no. I don't think so. I think regular world pretty similar. Yeah, you kind of like you get drinks, everybody the first half hour or so. it's kind of like touch and go and then the second you know let's say let's say it's a two-hour or the second 90 or the back 90 minutes everybody's loose chatting you kind of like start to you start to loosen up you start to open up a little bit you start to say shit maybe you wouldn't

say over like a conference call love it in the middle of a work day so that's kind of what I'm expecting tonight but I got radio four to six then the only time you know the best time for us to get lurch in the mix is obviously after work hours because he comes from his dumb real job that he has. Yeah. And I got work dinner 645, so basically he's not here. And he's going to Europe for work for a week. Wow.

He's just going to be gone. Traveling man. He's got work. Yeah. It's just what he does. He's got to work. Rangefinder reviews. I mentioned that I'm going to do that.

I have received three of them. Wow. I'm going to review the range finders. We have no partnership with any rangefinder company. So I'm going to give a very accurate review. It's tricky because I haven't been on the golf course since I got all three of them. However, we do have a couple ideas for a video that we could film to test them and the different ways to test them and like what's important, how quick they laser, how they

feel on the hands, the packaging, all that kind of stuff, how accurate there. I don't know how you actually measure the accuracy. Something you got to figure out. True, right? Because which one do you... They're all three different. Which one's right. Wow. You don't know. I'd be stunned to know if they were all three different. That would be a wild problem. I don't think. I don't think I think they're going to be that different. I think they're right on the nose. Yeah, I think they're all going to be within like a yard, which I think is pretty damn good. Yeah.

But anyways, I'm going to test out of the range finders. They're all different prices, too. Also, the casing. The casing is usually, they got to be cool, right? They've got to be able to, like, dangle off me. You got to be able to move them around. Do you want to bring them into the cart? Do you want to leave it on your bag?

It's a small casing, can it fit in the cup holder? That's a huge one. See, I'm a little different. Like, people put their range finders in a case. I don't understand why. Like, range finders built to be durable. I just throw mine around the cart I never put it in a case

I yeah I agree I think it's like with anything when I get an iPhone I look at it and like it's perfectly mirrored right like the glass is not touching you like you put everything in your pocket real smooth now like I just put it in with my keys in my pocket so it's like the same thing

whenever I get a range finder it's in the bag I walk to the back of the car to take it out of the bag I zoom it in now like a month and you're just it's everywhere it's in a wet cup holder yeah totally but that's why packaging matters if you watch like Shark Tank the packaging huge.

Correct. They'll like, that'll make a break an entire company if you get the packaging right. So I'm going to go through all that stuff.

Don't get me wrong. It's going to be legitimate. Foreplay barstool golf event. We get a lot, a lot, a lot of inquiries about this. We're working on it. I will say this.

I will guarantee there will be at least one four play slash barstool golf event this year that we are putting on. I love that guarantee. It's a wide open enough. You don't want to make it too specific.

It's a guarantee. There will be an event or stoolies and listeners of the Foreplay podcast can come to and can play golf and it'll be an event that we're at and we're putting on. Now, I enjoy that.

It might be bigger. It might be just the one. We'll see. But that's gonna happen. That's fucking happened. So if you're out there thinking about it, hoping for it, what do we got to do?

It's going to happen. Stay tight or hang tight. The Masters, I don't know if we're going to the Masters. I've been doing, we've been in like a couple meetings. Are we going to go? What can we actually do there?

Apparently, I don't know if this is just a cool urban myth or if this is true, but in terms of getting credentialed because we're obviously credentialed inside the ropes to the Ropes to the S open. We're obviously credentialed inside the ropes in the PGA Championship. We're obviously credentialed inside the ropes at the Ryder Cup, not really inside the ropes. Actually, barely credentials, but we are credentials. Masters, the rumor is that they have to ask you to be a media member. Wow. You don't get to, like, apply.

You can't just go to, like, mastersmedia.com and, like, fill out an application, which you can do for basically everything else. I fucking love that. Me too. Makes you feel like the most important person in the world. Which is awesome. Like, do you get an invitation? Like the players?

Like you're playing in the fucking master. It comes in like the same thing, but it's just media member. Someone knock on your door. We would like you to cover the masters. And then like you turn around like, honey. And then you turn back to the door and the guy's just gone. I was going to say the guy up there. He just knocks on the door and you go to the door.

And no one's there, but an envelope's on the ground. I like that. Or a fucking owl brings it like in Harry Potter. It's like flies into your room. That would be. incredible. You are invited to cover the Masters as an official media media. That's the winner.

In terms of how you get invited, having an owl swoop into your bedroom, drop off an envelope onto your bed, maybe leave a little mint on the pillow and they leave. And it's got to have that what's the thing, what would you call the thing on the back of the envelope? Seal. A seal. That's it. Let me ask you that. You think the owl is green with like a yellow

beak? No, that seems tacky. Yeah, that is. Get the fuck out of here. That's hell too tacky. You guys. You're doing your whole thing and that's too tacky. No, you have like a... He put a mint on the pillow. It's a beautiful...

Yeah, but he's not going to be... Does the owl... Does the owl put the mint on the pillow? That's what he said. That's a little too tacky. Okay. It's a bright, white, beautiful owl that swoops down from the heavens.

And I don't even know if it comes in your room. It does like the one where Harry's still at the... At the aunt and uncle's house. It comes through the fucking door. I was going to say, let me tell you this. My Manhattan apartment? Nothing's coming through the door. It's coming through the door.

It's coming through the door. I think it's going to be fucking dead. Yeah. And Gus is going to come looking for a middle window. What did Riggs Barsol do with our goddamn invite owl? Dude, he tried to fly to my man. I had a apartment. He's been hanging from the window.

Again, Harry Potter, they just keep coming at you. They keep coming until they don't stop. Yeah, you're right. Until you get the envelope. And they're green and yellow. But no. No, I think they are. Knee update.

I got update everybody on my knee. So it turns out we have a million doctors who listen to the show. Because when I gave that little, uh, description of what happened to my knee and playing hockey, kneecap, slid out of place, then slid back into place. I woke up with maybe,

I don't know, 20 emails when I woke up from people claiming to be doctors. And then over the course of the next week, I probably got 100 more, maybe 150. I feel like we don't have, I'd be shocked if we have a ton of doctors listening to the show. I feel like we have a lot of ex,

like, high school college athletes and they've been through similar things. That was a lot of it, but I'm talking just specifically the ones that were like, I'm a doctor or people were, this is not doctor but people are in the physical therapy

sports therapy biz so I got a lot of those the general M.O. seemed to be and there were extremes on both sides. There were some people who were like in a lot of these assholes they sent me the stories of what happened to them like Trent Daddy was saying and a lot of them it was to the point of

hey man so that happened to me I didn't think it was that big of a deal didn't do much about it turns out it led to overcompensation from this part, that part, and about a year later, I had to have full reconstructive knee surgery, and I was out for about a year and a half, but good luck. I'm like, what the fuck you're talking about? Don't send me that.

Now, most people, the general consensus was that it's scientifically impossible for your kneecap to slide one way or the other unless you tear your small little, like, tendons that hold your kneecap in place, your pitella. This is just not possible. So, like, you had to have had, like, either a slight tear or a full tear in one of those. That's not that big of a deal. they're not really attached to other stuff, the other important stuff, ACL MCL. And so if you ice, stay off it and then do, and then after a couple weeks start doing a little rehab,

you should be able to build it back up and you should be mostly fine. Now, I would say it's been about three weeks, I think, since that happened. My knee's probably at 95%. Okay. Yeah, that's huge. I was saying, what have you been doing? I know you went. Golf, it was fine.

It would late in the round. I could notice it was getting a little tired and sore, but like not that big of a deal. I do know this when I sit down for a long time and then I stand up it's incredibly noticeable you're just a 70 year old man now well I have a 70 year old When the weather starts to turn

Riggs is going to know when it's raining yeah When there's a thunderstorm on the horizon Do you know before everyone else? I fuck you not Everybody that commented about this said You will notice when it's about to rain Or when it's like getting cold Your knee will tingle

It's you and every dog in Manhattan and knows that there's a thunderstorm. I mean, I'm becoming Harry Potter. Like when his fucking scars starts to hurt, when he who must not be named as around town or thinking about him, that's me. I got a knee that describes the weather, predicts the weather,

and I got fucking owls delivering master's invitations to me. I can't get a read on your knee either because you had a cane on a Friday and no cane on a Monday. How am I supposed to be at? I was trying to stay off it. That was the point. It wasn't that I couldn't walk without the cane. It was that in order to maximize my recovery effort.

I had to stay off it for several days, and I did. Seems to be okay now, with the exception of whenever it's about to rain. It hurts. And when I sit down for a long time. And late in golf rounds. You're my dad. Congratulations. So those are saying all those terms that Phyllis says when it rains in the office.

It's like, oh, you know, I would just love to cuddle up with a buck right now. That's going to be rig soon with his hurting knee. The rain's going to start coming. He's going to start having all these one-liners. My knee is fine. All right. I think it's going to be okay. I'm not I on that small little

We haven't talked about your guys sitting Situation you guys are on a tiny little couch It's a love seat I mean Yeah It looks ridiculous it looks ridiculous when you two look at each other right Because when you're doing a podcast you want to have some sort of like eye contact And you want to do it too close You guys are way too close

You guys like have to turn your head perfectly to each other It's a full turn to talk I almost have to do this I have to do an arm lift I do This is the anti It's like the anti four play set up We're like we just like shoot the shit

And this is like like very like unnatural the way you guys are looking at you're on good morning america this is bizarre yeah i just do glances i'm on a panel look i honestly feel like i'm on a panel i do too like after documentary airs and then you go to sell out of theater and you're sitting on that panel who are you thinking in season two you know you walked into that room yeah saw jessica there what was going through your head that's exactly and then you do a look at jessica and then you have to talk to the room yeah i mean you know frangie i come outside if i wanted to call 911 or not.

I didn't know how serious it was. Who knows what situation we're talking about right now? It could be any documentary ever. Yeah. I'm thinking of what's the one where the lady falls, oh, the staircase. Who? Where the lady falls down the staircase. Were you doing a little tiger woods book, like kind of callback there? No, I wasn't. I just couldn't think of it.

That's that one where she falls down the staircase? I couldn't think of it. I don't know what's that way off. No, I couldn't think of it. And then as I was about to say staircase, I was like, it's the staircase. Anybody, I mean, she kind of, then there's another one who falls and died down the staircase. In Germany.

What could it be called? What's that documentary on planet Earth? It's like, it's all about planet Earth. It's all the different, like, life on planet Earth. It's different sections of Earth. That's a planet. And they talk about it. Well, the documentaries is called Planet Earth.

One, two, and three, I believe. Fucking. That's the staircase. No creativity. All right. Let's get into some headlines. You should come up with a show called golf. Our new podcast should just be called golf.

You guys listen to me. That was a huge miss. Like, are you guys golf fans? Yeah, yeah, we are. Huge.

That's huge. Hey, man, I'm a huge golf fan. Thanks, bro. Thank. The SEO on that would be huge.

Huge. Like an old man sitting there with his broken knee. Just typing in golf. This is all our podcast pop up. It's about to rain his knee hurts. He can't go anywhere. He's like,

I want to listen to people talk about golf. G. G. LF in the Google machine. I mean, that was a huge. I mean, we would have dominated that.

Is there a podcast? Is there a podcast? We went to way too edgy. These are the guys Like imagine if we were on golf channel They'd be like these are the guys from golf Golf These are the golf guys

They started the golf franchise That'd be unbelievable We have to actually have a meeting about this Let's explore Are you the guys from golf? We just rebrand We're golf now We are golf

That's it And if it's not taken They can't argue it All right And it's too general of a term That no one can sue No You don't own golf

We do now Right Imagine if our Twitter handle is just at golf? Amazing. Amazing. We would have five million followers. That was a mess. God damn it.

We kind of fucked that up. All right. Peter Millar was founded in 2001 with a single cashmere sweater, which I would love to see someday, and has grown into a premium American lifestyle brand featuring a wide range of casual sportswear, tailored men's wear, and luxury performance golf apparel look. I could go on for years about. Peter Millar for probably five years or so now. It has been my number one area, right?

You're going to a pro shop, and they got the different areas or the different types of golf apparel. Peter Millar has been number one, number one spot, quarter zips, pants, belts, shorts. They got a lot of shorts with the little logos on the back. Their stuff is awesome. Now, I took the next step about maybe eight months or so ago

when we started working with Peter Marr to wear even more of their stuff. and understand that they have gear that I don't even know that they had they have different kinds of pants the five pocket pants I've talked about that I didn't even know they had and it's just it's the best it is absolutely the best not only is it most comfortable but it looks the best I have been receiving all kinds of style tips all kinds of compliments from the clothing experts at Peter Milar in terms of the style tips if you're a golfer like me you know the name if you do not you should because Peter Mlar is all about quality value and style I've been rocking the five pocket pants. Pretty much since last fall, I think, is when I really got on the five pocket. I've told the story before, but my brother just continues to request pants. It's what he asked my mom for for Christmas. We're more of the five pocket pants.

I'm wearing them. They're the most comfortable pair of pants I've ever worn. I can say that about everything I've worn from Peter Millar. And right now you can head over to petermalar.com slash four. Check out some of my Peter Malar favorites. We have a little link right there. You go through that link. You'll see a bunch of our favorites.

You will also receive complimentary shipping and a free half. that's peter milr m i l l a r dot com slash four peter milar dot com slash four brooks and kepka this is really the only headline i got there we're going to do a ton of from the gallery uh we haven't done from the gallery in a while we kind of we had the almost a spin off of from the gallery we kind of put from the gallery on steroids with our calling shows which we're going to continue to do but we're going to get to some from the gallery first brooks kefka continues kind of his complete 180 he was he was quoted today as it says this was a tweet from

who is a golfer hold on hold on I'm looking it up earlier too I'm looking it up real quick Randall Mel who is a golf channel writer it says Brooks Kebka on reactions to his more open opinionated interviews you are seeing the real Brooks Kevka now

I'm not holding back says he's proven enough now to be more comfortable as a voice on tour and Brooks Kebkev listens to Foreplay this is what we've been saying for a year, maybe two. If he doesn't listen to Foreplay, this, Brooks Kevka turnaround, his public persona, is more shocking,

it's the most shocking news story of the year, Robert Kraft included. Like, I can't believe that he's now just coming out and being very opinion. We have to give him props, because this is all we talked about. It's like Brooks Kebka needs to be a guy who has a voice.

He went from vanilla ice cream, or what's the vanilla pudding? Vanilla pudding. He went from vanilla pudding to... I mean, he's a lightning rod now. He's a fucking Sunday. So I'm going to... He is a side.

He's a banana split. Banana split Sunday with so many different sprinkles and hot fudge. Unbelievable. I mean, he's got it all at this point. He is. What's another protein? You just threw protein into it because he's such a meat. A little scoop of powder.

A little scoop of protein powder. We, uh, speaking of banana split Sundays, I went down to Florida. Um, well, actually, when I was in Florida for work, um, my grandmother lives down there. And she's, like, old, retired. She's living, like, on the... She could probably play at the bridges. She could probably play at the bridges. She's probably been at the bridges and hit some balls on that fucking driving range.

Is that where the skull fuck started? I was actually hitting... You were hitting wedges good then. Yeah. Because you got to remember, I peppered that green. I mean, yeah. I thought it was a driving range. It was like the third hole.

There was a thousand balls on the green. If I was Skullfuck, it was only like 80 yards. Ballmarks all over the green. I hit a... I hit so many balls onto that green. Anyway, we were trying to surprise My dad met me down in Florida We were trying to surprise my grandmother

And not until that we were down there Because I was done there for work My dad went down there real quick And we're like, where are you at? She's like, oh, I'm just having lunch quick At this, just a real quick lunch And my dad showed up there Just a surprise her

And she was eating a full-on banana split Sunday I mean that's just what I think that's just like That's retired grandmother life People talk shit about getting old And how bad it is That sounds amazing It was like 11 o'clock in the morning

and she was just housing a banana split Sunday with the fucking full banana in it, four scoops. She was having a light lunch. Now look, that sounds nice. I will say I bet when she gets up after sitting down for a while, that fucking knees, that knee is barking. I'll tell you what, though,

I want your banana split Sunday at 11 o'clock so bad. I was like, I can't. I have commitments. I can't do that. That's a big time old person move. I love it. I respect it. Imagine Frankie's sitting at his desk at 11 just chowing down on a banana split.

I got that. I mean, there'll be... I inherited this move by my grandmother. I feel like we got 800 cameramen now that. film everything we do. They'd be all around Frankie. They might have to be your summertime move. I will lead a banana split Sunday in this office at some point.

It's guarantee. So quick refresher on Brooks, comments on Bryson earlier from a couple of months ago, he said, I just understand how it takes a minute and 20 seconds, a minute and 15 to hit a golf ball. It's not that hard. It's always between two clubs.

There's a miss short, there's a miss long. It really drives me nuts. Guys are already so slow, it's kind of embarrassing. They're breaking the rules, but no one has ever had the balls to actually penalized them just penalized them brooks talking about balls like what a fucking wildcard

now i do respect that his reasoning is that i've won enough and i've proved myself enough that i can now have an opinion and a voice brooks has now turned into a guy that we have to hear his post around interviews now i agree he's got his own camp he has a camp oh yeah he's got a camp he's another refresher i put in there rory on being in brooks's camp now he's got his own camp of opinions. I would definitely be more in the Brooks Kebko camp there. In terms if they give us a minute to the golf shot, that's long enough. You can't argue with

Brooks. He's been one of the best players in the world for the last few years. If he says he can get it done in 45 seconds, then everyone else should be able to as well. We almost got to make you can't argue with Brooks shirts. That's quite a slogan. You can't argue with Brooks. We should make a fucking campsite T-shirt with Brooks. It's Brooks's camp.

It should be one of those shirts that have the inflatable muscles like attached to it. Yeah. Yeah. Your arms should just be huge. It's a yoke shirt with like a tent on the front. Yeah. Or those shirts that are like, it looks like a tuxedo or a woman in a bathing suit. You've seen those shirts?

Yeah. It's like that. And he's just, you just jacked. Yeah. That'd be more cost effective than having ones that blow up. And I think this all stem from when, there's the first time I saw Brooks doing this. And you guys may actually think of something earlier, but when he wasn't included in that like top 10 or like whatever it was, top 20, like Sports Illustrated, best athletes of the year. And they had like these skiers and like long jumpers and like like, like, and he basically quote

tweeted this. I think it just like snapped him. Like he's like, I've had an unbelievable one of the best years in recent golf history. And they didn't even put me in the top 10. And he put like a little emoji like a thinking emoji on top of this tweet. Yeah. I remember that being like, oh, that is edgy shit coming from from vanilla pudding Brooks. Yeah.

And now he's just on a tour. Now it's a full-blown fucking avalanche. I remember after he won the U.S. open that that was the time I remember when we wanted him to say something and he didn't he wanted him to be like he was like he didn't go he skipped the new york tour right he was like embarrassed back to back here yeah so that was like he wasn't on the tonight show all that shit that they usually do so between then and that hmm thinking emoji he did he did face with monocle emoji oh that's one that's my that's my favorite one well when you hover over it you know how you can do out your cursor

that's the hmm one right no this is this is the see this guy's got the monocle oh yeah he did that like really looking into it. That was like a deep investigation emoji. Pound for pound my favorite emoji, I think. Because you're like, I'm looking, I'm looking real, I'm looking real close. I still don't see my name. I'm fucking looking real. I pulled out a magnifying glass of the shit.

If you had the thinking emoji, it's kind of like a dick thing to do like, hmm, I should be on the list. This one's like, I think I'm there. I just can't see it. Which says, I mean, that's a way better way to do it. I think you're right. That was when Brooks really, he kind of like burst through the doors. I think we all said, whoa. He just threw out a couple of emojis.

That's when Bruce Banner turned green. He didn't even know he had emojis on his phone. Oh, yeah. I thought he had a razor. He also said on Sergio, when Sergio had his incident over in Saudi Arabia, is that where they were? Yep. Yeah. He said, that's just Sergio acting like a child.

I mean, you're 40 years old, so you've got to grow up eventually. Oh. Some of these comments, no one would ever fight Brooks in a locker room, but these are going to, like, it's going to be weird seeing some of these guys the next time at a tournament. Yeah, I guess what do you do? Because Brooks walks in a lot of sitting. He's like this good-looking Jack dude who's won three majors in the last two years. What do you like? Hey, Brooks, you little bitch, why you terrible me?

Like, no. These guys aren't going to say anything. He's bulletproof. Right. He's absolutely bulletproof. He's won enough, and now he's letting his mouth run, and it's, I love it. We love it. Obviously, we said he was vanilla pudding.

Yeah, he's turning to a fucking, like, badass villain spewing his mouth to everybody, and backing it up on the golf course, and he's American, which is fantastic. So huge Brooks Kebka turnaround fan. We're going to, we're going to go into the lab with the shirt idea. We've got to come up with a Brooks Kevka's shirt to kind of represent his little turnaround. All right. From the gallery. we got a bunch of them.

For Play at barstoolsports.com If you would like to email us, put from the gallery in the title, in the headline, because that's how I searched through them and read all of them. I put a bunch in here. I don't know if we're able to get to all of them.

A lot of times I put a lot thinking, like, oh, we need to get through a whole show, and then we do like three of them, and it takes an hour and a half. So we'll see what happens. Max, the first one's from Max. This is kind of a classic case. He says,

I get a gift card to the golf store, for about 300 bucks, what do you spend it on? He gave a couple examples, like do you buy a couple articles of gear that are each like 80 or 100 bucks each? Do you get like a new putter on wedges because you can't get a full set of clubs for that amount,

but you can get some new wedges or like a new putter? Do you get a bunch of accessories, balls, gloves, towels, et cetera? My answer is very simple. I would get golf balls. I was going to say bucket hat, a couple of gloves because I lose them like crazy and then whatever's left, golf balls.

So we're both on. kind of the accessories. Yeah, I'm an accessory. Yeah, I'm full-blown accessories. Yeah. Now, I don't think you blow the whole 300 on like one or two pieces of clothing. I think you, you absolutely, because this is like a gift card that you're getting to the golf story. This is like a, this is a gift from God, right?

You finally have a chance to fill up your bag of stuff that you end up not having and you don't want to spend your own money on. Like, spend your own money on, on like the stuff like, like the Barso quarter zips and all that stuff. Like stuff that really is going to make you look good. When you go play a nice course, pick up a sweet Peter Mallard quarters. When someone hands you a gift card, it's like, hey, this is free money. Go stock up on all the things that when you look in your golf bag, you're like, shit, I ran out of T. Shit, I ran out of golf clubs. Now, let me say this.

One, we're a little bit jaded because, based on the nature of our job in the last year or two, we just get a ton of free shit. So we're a little bit jaded on that front. I could see if you really wanted to go get like a nice putter. You know, you got $300. You want to go get like a nice Scotty or whatever. I can understand that if you've really been kind of like, I can't bite the bullet. I've been rocking the same putter for five or ten years. I don't love it, but also it's a lot of money you spend on a new putter, blah, blah, blah.

I could see that. However, if you're not going to do that, I do think, like, balls and T's are the best move because it gives you such peace of mind on the golf course as well. Like, if you lose two or three pro vs or something, you're not rattled out of your mind. A lot of times, if I'm playing poorly, but I haven't lost a golf ball a whole round, I'm like, all right, it could be worse. This is fine. Yeah. I haven't lost and wasted a ton of money. Not a big deal.

Now, you have that peace of mind knowing, like, I got a couple boxes of balls back in place. I'm stocked up on T's. I got, like, three gloves that I can do the rigs rotation, which is a genius move so that you don't run through them as quickly. To be determined. It's a genius move. It's a little wild. Well, I mean, it's genius. Then you're, again, it helps, like, your piece of mind and all that.

So I would go accessories. I think we're all kind of on that train. There's nothing better than when you are golfing maybe for the first time in a long time, and you rearrange your bag and you get your bag ready for the next day, and you just dump, like, three or four sleeves of, brand new golf balls in that in the ball pocket it feels like you're a professional you know what that is that's the first round after christmas feeling oh my god it's amazing because you get at christmas you get a million golf balls yeah you're golf got you get a bunch of t's you get like some dumb shit a couple gloves and whatnot that first round rolls around let's say you haven't done a winter

trip at all it's like late march you catch a nice day that night before like you said you're going through your room tickle your old shit out you're marking the balls you get a sharpie out mark them up put the teas you got too many you got so many fucking teas you can't even find your ball markers you got all the fresh pro vs it's great and again when you lose a couple of those that first rounds are going to be shitty conditions out there course it's going to be dog shit your swing is going to be god awful you haven't played golf in three or four months it's nice peace of mind if you lose a sleeve or too that hey i still got a bunch back at the house so i agree with that i would load up on accessories andrew asked a great question he phrased it as like your mount rushmore of golf drinks

i don't think we need to do mount bout rushmore necessarily somebody else does that But I do think I do want to talk about kind of ranking alcoholic drinks on the golf course. People are going to be very surprised by this. But my number one golf drink is not a transfusion. What? My number one golf drink is beer. And the reason that I say that is because a transfusion, don't get me wrong. I'm going to get a tranny, transfusion.

The drink. The drink. Very good clarification. The drink. The drink. The drink. What you do after you're around? Is that, you know, it's a free country.

2019 as well do whatever you want Yeah Even if you don't want to clarify We in this specific Instance we're talking about the drink We're referencing the drink Which is vodka

Ginger ale A little bit of grape juice And boom you're good Now Transfusion's awesome However You can get crushed on transfusion You drink two or three of them

You can be Off the charts You can get ahead of yourself It's not perfect In every situation In terms of like Logistically handling it It's not as good as a beast

What I mean by that is if you're going to play a public track with your buddies, not a lot of public courses have transfusions. And if you're going to prepare the night before the day before, like, what are you going to put all the mix and carry a bottle of vodka and all this? That, no, it can be very tricky as opposed to you just swing by the local gas station. You should pick up a 30 rack of butt lights. Put them in there. They'll stay cold because usually you just toss them into a cooler full of ice.

And like a lot of the coolers now or almost every cart now has, like the cool are on the side. You toss them in there, keep them cool. Then you can, on the course, they're much more manageable in terms of getting your glove wet because you can just put a coozy on them on the cans. Coozy's huge. Coozy's huge. And you can, like, take your coozy rotation out.

Absolutely huge. Show different types of coosies. Yeah. Well, Captain Conns is a huge coozy guy. Captain Kans who works for us zero block 30, big golf guy. I mean, he can walk around New York City and he'll pull a coozy out of his back pocket. I've been at bars where he just pulls out of Coozy. It's unbelievable.

No, he has a Cousy 24-7. Yep, right. Everywhere he goes. So his number one drink at a golf course is absolutely going to be a beer for that reason. So you can, my thing is you can drink beers at a consistent rate throughout the entire round and you're not really going to be like blackout drunk. Whereas if you go, oh, two or three transfusions on the front nine, by the time you're on like 10 or 11, you might be annihilated.

I was, I've never been more drunk than Glenn Oaks when I first started drinking transfusions. I was seeing, I was seeing sideways on like the 17th. hole and everyone you guys were all behind me everyone was like looking at me it was raining and i like i don't know how i didn't i don't know how i hit the ball i remember i like your mom come pick you up yeah my mom oh yeah that you guys weren't with me i was my buddy and me and my i told my buddy i said i can't fucking drive home man my mom and came pick me up that's right that is right because i drank the transfusions there twice but no the time that i got absolutely annihilated i was outside that front little like that little inner that little uh circle that you drive in and i was just

standing there with my golf bag waiting for my mom the the the the entry driveway is like spinning yeah spinning around you you're just standing there like what the fuck yeah yeah no train is he's pick up my car the next day what a fucking see so beers again you can kind of like sip beers throughout the whole day you also beers are more um there's more options of beers you can shotgun beers yeah right you do like a group shock you When somebody makes birdie, a lot of times you do like a group shotgun on the next tee. You can do shotgun mulligan. You can do shotgun mulligan.

You can do shot. You've got 60 seconds. You can declare shotgun muleg and then hit again. So you can do shotgun mulligans. You can even, if you really get crazy late in the round, you can like hit a golf ball off a beer can. You know, you just got some more. Electric. Golf, beer.

Just light that gram up. Oh. Throw all the Instagram stories. Oh, it's great. Hit a ball off a beer can. It's great. So that's why I. I would say beer, excuse me, for me, beer is number one golf drink.

I don't even think it's really that close. Now, transfusion is obviously my favorite golf mixed drink. I just think it's the best. For anybody out there who doesn't know, we did just talk about the recipe, but it's vodka, ginger ale, a little bit of grape juice. You can also, I've seen this move of purple Gatorade that some people do that don't carry great juice. You can do cranberry, or you, yeah, you can do cranberry juice, and you're still going to get the same kind of feel.

Southside I've heard A lot of people love south sides I'm not as big a fan As Southside It's a big Long Island thing What is the South Side? It's there's a lot of different stuff in it It's uh I was looking it up earlier to try to make sure that I knew

He said it was a Long Island thing And then everyone looked at me But I have no idea what the hell it is I mean I guess I mean more like Hampton's Long Island Okay Like when boozy I believe like Shinnock, Fryers like Maidstone

They drink a lot of South Sides The best mate or the best Southside I've ever had was that Maidstone Blade there The only thing I don't, the only thing that's really making me think I haven't had a great Southside experience. I think every time I've had one, it's been with a paper straw. Oh. Oh.

Totally. That'll ruin your iced coffee. That'll ruin your old day. I mean, you're like chewing through the thing. You know what I'm saying? It gets like super soft. Yeah. About halfway through the drink, you're like chewing it.

I'm all about, I'm all about save the earth until they start giving me paper straws. You know what though? I'm not on that train. What? I don't mind a paper straw. Not because of like the earth. Not because of the earth. For some reason, I've had good experiences.

What is wrong with you? The integrity of a paper straw has never lasted through an entire drink that I'm trying to go through. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I must have delicate lips and I must have delicate, like, sucking abilities. Well, that's not surprising. But. A little bird lips. I have a little bird lips.

I just, you know, I just, I just, very, very, it's like, it's like chepetto. It's like chepetto. I just, just I mean, thinking of you being like, I'm okay with paper straws because I got little lips. I got a little,

we have this smoothie. We have this smoothie. There's a smoothie gang in the office. It's me. It's office manager Brett. Oh, he doesn't like to be called office manager, Brett.

What is he now programming, Brett? It's office manager, he's, office manager, Brett. He can change spots in the office. He can change his title.

They can call him. He could be CEO. He's office manager, Brett. And we got Francis in on crew. We're very tight about this crew. I know Smitty once wanted to get in on the crew. We didn't let him get a smoothie with us because it's just like our crew. And they switched to, uh, they got fucked up. Yeah, it's crazy. They switched to, uh, paper straws and it, and everyone was like

throwing fits. And I was sitting there. I was like, this is delightful. I literally said this is delightful. For some reason, it tasted better through the plastic straw. It really did. Paper. The paper straw. Yeah, I thought he's a plastic. Yeah, it's just weird. I would say that Whoever invented the paper straw, they just were about like 30% off on how long it would take for that thing to like fall apart. Yeah. You know? Like I would say the first, every time I use one, the first couple of sips, I'm like, oh, this isn't so bad. And then you get towards the end of that drink, the second half of the drink.

The thing just, it just doesn't have it. It runs out of gas. It ruins a fucking drink. If the difference between paper and plastic straws is what leaves our prospective children with a worse off planet Earth, I'm going to, I'm going to do it. I'm going to be using plastic straws. What about the turtles? Do you not care about the turtles? In this instance, no.

I don't care about the turtles. I kind of love that answer. Because, like, honestly, this is my point. And I know if you take on a global scale, it obviously gets, you can always say that it's going to be the wrong answer. But I always say, if I don't drink, well, all right, let's say, like, let's say you're using anything with plastic, right? And you're like, oh, well, how could you do that?

Well, that thing with plastic was going to be made regardless if I use it or not, right? Like that straw was still in that straw holder at Starbucks or wherever these places are, regardless of if I picked it up or not. Frank, you dumbass. If you stop using them, the demand goes down. I know. That's what I said on a global scale. Correct. But that's never going to happen.

So, in a personal level. It's never going to happen if you don't commit to it. I want to see some numbers. I like a swap argument. Riggs is right. I know he did. Riggs is correct. Oh, yeah, absolutely is right.

But I'm with Frank. Like on a global, on a global scale, correct. Like, if we all stop, the demand will go down. But is Frankie Brelie picking up the plastic really going to do anything? They would argue. I'll start somewhere. They would argue you got to start somewhere. All right.

He said he thinks it's basically a massive douche move. I have to strongly disagree. The black glove is a rain glove. and the rain glove, if you've never used some of these things, the rain glove, I don't know how they got this technology this way, but the rain glove is such that when it becomes wet, the grip increases. Yeah, it's amazing. It's stunning.

It's like, I don't know how it's not talked about more. I don't know how it's not. They should be, the rain glove alone should be like a $10 billion tech company because of how outrageous the technology is. So the rain glove not only can be used when it's raining out, But it's really hot in the summertime. You're sweating your dick off. Boom.

Rain glove. You're good. Another thing is rain glove. When you're grabbing your beer, you're grabbing your transfusion. And you don't want to have to do the thing where you take your glove off because you don't want to get your glove soaked. Because once your glove gets soaked, you kind of ruin it for the rest of the round. And your grips fucked. You just go rain glove.

Boom. Your grip's great. It doesn't affect you all that. So I'm in on the rain glove. I feel you're making the case that you should almost always be using your ring glove. Rain glove sounds like it needs to be. Why don't they make white rain gloves? I don't know.

Because here's wise, because that's why I don't always use the rain glove. It doesn't dry. It doesn't have anywhere near the same, like, comfortable feel. The technology is so good on golf gloves now that, like, they have this, like, the perma soft feel on your hands is unbelievable. And it's not the same, like, you're not sweating through your hands most rounds. The middle of winter you are, or in the middle of summer you are. But, like, a nice spring day, a nice fall day, you're not sweating through your hands, so you don't really need it. Okay.

Fair. That's kind of my theory. Why don't they make white rain gloves? No clue. Is it so that people can distinguish? I don't know how they wouldn't be able to. You can just feel it. Maybe it's the color, like, when it gets wet and stuff,

or is it like, I don't know. Yeah, I guess maybe with the wetness on the grips and the white, it would just become black, so they'd just make it black. I just made that up. Or maybe there's a market inefficiency. There is nothing better than when it's a... I think what that guy means,

when he says it's like a hard-o-move, is when you show up to like a public course and there's a guy up there he's rocking like the big pocket shorts he's got the cancels he's why are you looking

I'm not really specifically why you look at me I'm not looking at Trent why are you looking at me I guess you could argue that the I felt I felt that I felt canckel deep in my bones

I guess you could argue the kind of pockets and then you said can ankles and you stared at Trent it's like receding hairline glasses bad facial hair

from sheer rabbits Iowa yeah when you step up to the tea and you see a middle american a middle america cancled man on the tea box okay and he's he's rocking like that old school r seven driver that he's had since like 2000 i mean she's trying still fucking shaking his head yes i mean keep describing yeah deeper it's more me yeah okay do you have the r seven no that would have been amazing he and and and and he's got that black glove on He's also got black shoes on

He's got black golf shoes on He's got white socks on That is like that is the ultimate Just like this guy has no idea what he's doing up here Type move I agree with that I just think in this situation Not that Trent I mean Trent doesn't look like that

In this situation Pretty close The reason it was weird is because you just were chirping And then just stare at Trent Cancels Crencels was the word where I knew it was about me Well after I said the word cancels I did do a pause

And I may have looked at Trent. Was the intent there? We talk about this often on this podcast. Was the intent there? We don't know. It sounds like it was there. Pretty clearly, yes.

And then after we said like, hey man, this is kind of rude that you're just looking at Trent describing him in a negative way. You just continued to describe him further. You were like, oh, is he from a middle America potentially? Like, that's where I'm from. People know that. Frankie knows that. Why are you on such a terror thing?

I got away from me. I don't know. I got away from me quick. All right The Zah thing John We got John who said He describes a situation

Because first of all A couple guys are at a golf dome In Buffalo, New York Now What? Are you guys familiar with golf domes? What does that mean? Is it indoor golf course?

No, I think it's like a domed range For really wintry places Holy shit Because I had never heard of it either I just Deduced from the I didn't feel like We're from pretty snowy places.

I've never heard of a golf dome. I want to say, like, Buffalo is on another level of, like, snowy place. Buffalo might be the only place that has golf domes. So I know that they have, you know, they have, like, athletic domes, right, where you can go play, like, indoor football. Yep. You go play, like, bubbles. Right. The bubble, the big bubble thing.

So I guess it's just that exact concept except for a driving range. However, this guy, so this is the setting. This guy describes, he says, it's only like. 80 yards deep or something like that. So apparently you can only hit like wedges, but he probably just like ripped longer clubs into the back of the dome, I would assume. It's not that pro.

There's a net or something like that. He goes anyways, they decide to start hitting at the cart guy, classic driving range move. He gets really close because the guy can't, he just can't hit him. So they wait until the car guy gets way close. Just say he's only about 20 yards out.

One of these assholes pulls out of three wood, hits a low missile. Oh my God. Ricochet's off the tire. hits John, the listener's uncle, directly in the temple. You guys just laugh? I may have moved the mic away from my face. Obviously, he gets knocked completely unconscious.

The ambulance has to be called and everything. Ends up with only a minor concussion, but moral of the story is don't be these guys. That's a funny scene, right? You absolutely drill a three wood. A hundred miles an hour, and it comes back and hits your uncle in the temple. I mean, luckily it didn't, I mean, I'm assuming no one. died, right?

Minor concussion. He's fine. That sounds like something that would kill you. Yeah, whenever you hear Temple, it's like, ooh. Temple's bad news. I feel like that's one of the things like, whenever you're growing up, you always like, when you're playing sports and stuff, they're always like, if you get hit in the temple, you could like die.

That was always like something that always fucking rattled me in the head. Big time. I always thought like if somebody came up and like slapped you on the site in the temple, you're dead. Like they push a button. This could be a dumb question. Is the temple a real thing? Oh, yeah.

Okay. Because I believe it too. And I grew up the same way people would be like, don't get hit in the temple. but it's the temple. It's right on the side, right? Yeah. That's fucking horrifying. Like,

we have a little button right here that if it gets hard enough, that's what it is. The lights are out. Yeah. No, it's like, it makes me feel like a robot.

No, it makes it feel like at the carnival. I'm sitting above the water. And if you throw baseball hard enough and hit my button, I fall into the... That's like I just die, though. I just like shut down and die.

I'm like, gripping the seat right now because I'm like nervous. You know, like what if something comes flying? We have these unprotected buttons on the side of the head. We should be... We should be thought of.

We've cured diseases. We've done all these great things. But if you just hit us in this area a little too hard, we just drop like a sack of potatoes. We should have protection around these at all times. Why do we not have temple hats? I mean, you can wear a helmet all the time. You're going to wear a temple helmet, Frank? Well, I'm just asking that if it has, is this a common occurrence that people would drop in dead because they get hit in the temple?

I guarantee you it is. I wouldn't guarantee it. I think it increases a chance of death. It was always that when I grew up. You get hit there versus like the skull. There's always that when you grew up And then you don't hit someone hard In the chest area

Because if you catch them in between Like a heartbeat it could stop Yeah I agree with that one Also it was always My dad used to always say If you're in a hot tub Keep your heart above the water

That's another one Yeah that's a big one Really? You never heard that one? No Which I don't think anyone like ever does I think when I'm in a hot tub A couple weeks ago

I'm always I'm always leased up to my neck In a hot day too You know You're not supposed to do that No I think it's pretty like Disasterous to your body It's like fucking 110 degrees and you're just like, just boil it in there.

Boiling your, like, insides. I think it messes with your heart. I've always heard just don't drink in a hot tub. What? I'd actually like for someone to email it. What are you supposed to do? No, I'm with you. And that's yet another rule that I break.

But I've heard that you get like way, way drugger, way faster and it's dangerous if you're drinking in a hot tub. I'd also like to hear, since we have so many doctors. That's going to increase drinking in hot tub. Yeah. That's a little, that was a reverse PSA. The more that I said it, the more that I was. motivating people to do that was a reverse PSA we got to ignore that everybody if all you listeners the

the doctors that listen to this podcast since there's a lot of them with your knee shit done of them they're all knee doctors too i want to know the science behind the temple and what being underwater in a hot tub does to your heart i like that so here let's do that we're going to do a new segment we're going to do um i don't know like what's up doc no that's stupid it's good though it's good that we work out you know that was good I think that's a good starting point at least

at least you have an idea me or Riggs and I just said it like a couple assholes look I don't mean laughing What's up Doc's the worst The worst What's up Doc is the worst segment that's ever been Even proposed in Barcel history

Now we're gonna get into some what's up Doc But you have to say it like Dr. Smith like bugs Bunny What's up Doc? What's up Doc? What's up Doc? now I don't hate that yeah I was like all right now we're gonna get into we all we all had to say it

we reached down by our seats and we all pick up a fucking carrot put it in the corner of our mouth and go what's up doc trying to think of a four play pun but I can't I can't grab it oh you're the pun king too

yeah you're a huge pun guy you're a huge more like guy yeah I had a good one recently more like manny machado mani machado is one of the best things I've ever seen on Twitter Frankie was very good That was unbelievable.

You know, it didn't, it did, I think it did like 2,500 likes, a couple hundred retweets. But the, once I hit send on the tweet, the respect of my peers around me that were very happy about it meant more to me than any number of likes. All right. All right. That's fair. Roan was happy. Frankie was happy.

YP. Everybody. So we're going to do a new segment. It's not going to be called WhatsApp Doc, but it is going to be where we get medical advice or explanations from all of our medical professionals who listen to the show. We want to understand the science behind the temple, why you just dive, somebody pushes your temple button. And we want to know why it's dangerous to sit in a hot tub with your heart below the water level.

So hit us up with that information. Mitch. Mitch is wondering what your go-to excuse is or your curse slash phrases when you hit a bad shop slash putt. Now, this is one that we've asked a lot of golfers. But I do think he described it in a manner which is like the excuse part was kind of more important. I would say my biggest one is on the on the green when I miss a pot I always go yeah I did I change my read like I had that was my original read I just changed

I couldn't convince which that's just like mine is mine is similar it's I knew it yeah I know it I know it it's like what fuck did you do it but it's like a succinct version of yours it's I don't know people the context of that is that he had something in his mind before and switched it to last minute. I know it. Like, you knew what?

It's like, well, I knew I was to hit that out of bounds. Why didn't you like do something different? It definitely works. It works more on the greens because it could have been like the read was different, but I know it. On the greens for me,

it's, I had the right read. I just didn't hit it hard enough. Okay. So it's like, yeah, I clearly knew how to get it in, but I just couldn't get the speed right.

Basically, every one of ours comes down to like, no, I knew exactly how to get it in the line. Oh, I just didn't. Yeah. I didn't get it. Or like my body just didn't cool.

And I like, whenever I do that, I like physically show with my finger. I'm like, no, no, no, I just needed like one more rotation. It was in. That's bullshit. Yeah. All I'll say, like, no, that's bullshit. One more rotation, it went in. Here's another big one is like, uh, off the tea.

When guys hit just horrible drives, like you top one, you, everybody goes, I tried to kill it. Yeah, I tried to kill it. It's like, I mean, it was a horrible swing. Yeah. Yeah. He just topped it. Yeah. It just what happened.

I tried to kill it. Oh, no, I tried to kill it. So that's just like, that's why that happened. Yeah. Yeah, okay, dude. Or off the T, sometimes I'll just say why. I'll just yell why. Like, why?

Like, I thought I was doing everything correctly. And then I, it just, it felt okay. And then it went the wrong way. Why? I'm trying to think of my past, like, two years of golfing. What, because obviously, like, we just say, I all, like, drop curse, like, just bombs of curses whenever I just hit, like, a funny bad shot. But I'm trying to think of, like, what my go-toe thing is when I skull fuck something

or if I, if I buttoned or something. And I think recently it's been so bad that I just start laughing. I don't think I'd make any excuses. You're just cackling? Yeah, I do. Yeah, just a crazy laughter. Like a psychotic laughter. That's a bad sign.

I'd be honest. That's a horrible sign. There's a lot of them too where you, I feel like you do the old, like, oh, I tried to, I was really tried to take something off that one, too. You know, like, yeah. I mean, you just hit, like, that's just a horrible shot. We try and alert the people that were playing with that we actually knew how to play it, but something could happen along the way that stopped us. Yeah.

theoretically we are great. Like we know what we're doing out here. Yeah. It's just the body doesn't cooperate. Correct. I don't practice it. I work too much.

Yeah. The Sunday Scaries. Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you this past Sunday. How's it? I was going to ask you that. Oh, Tren daddy.

This past Sunday, I mean, I'm in the Bahamas for three or four days. We're out in the sun. We're having a couple drinks. We're on a boat. We played three or four rounds of golf. Just go, go, go. You don't even really realize what kind of you're racking up.

Steak dinners, all kinds of good stuff. Sunday, okay? Sunday arrives, and I've got just maybe 12 hours of commuting to do. Yeah. To return home. Oh, God. It's the definition of that creeping feeling of dread and anxiety. Thank the Lord for the Sunday scaries, these gummies.

CBD, it's hot right now. It's derived from him, but delivers many of the benefits. you can get from THC, but without the high. It means it's legal to consume in your state that you can take it at school, at work, wherever else you want without worry. I did it. It saved me.

Not only that, but they're just delicious. We're talking about it on this show. The gummies were huge gummy fans. It's a convenient and delicious way to get your daily dose of CBD, an all-natural way to help you deal with the feelings of stress and anxiety. A great way to help you relax and get to sleep at night. A great way to deal with those nasty hangovers

after a long night of raging or an entire week in the Bahamas. In the Bahamas maybe? Of raging. Not referencing anything in particular. No, just if that were to be something that you were to do, it would be a great way to get over it. I love my Sunday Scaries. I know once you try them, you will too.

Austin says he's going to the players championship advice on how to maximize viewing experience in person. He's never been to a PJ tour event before.

We've talked about this to a certain degree. Going to an actual golf tournament in person, for the most part, in terms of consuming the actual tournament is significantly worse than watching on TV. That's why I think Sunday is the worst day to go, no matter what, no matter what golf turner it is Sunday, because that's where the leaderboard really stands. starts to form and you see guys shuffle in the lead, who's getting close, who's making a run, you want to capture all that stuff,

you want to see all the action of the back nine, and you just simply cannot do that in person. So my first piece of advice is don't go Sunday. My next piece of advice is don't try to see everybody. Because if you do, you're going to end up running around the golf course, looking for different people. Every time you get to a big name that you want to see, there's going to be huge galleries around.

You're going to get to see him, like, walk from the T-box through the rough in front of you, and then he's just gone forever, and you'll never see him actually get to hit a shot. So what I would do is either pick a green or a spot near a green on, like, a reachable par five or short par four. Something like that were guys that can miss the green in a good amount, so you're going to see more than just a wedge in the middle of the green and a put from all the players that come through. pick a cool green that you can get a good view at, get in that spot when not a big name is coming through, so it's very scarce,

and then post up there and stay there for like two hours. And then you will see a lot of guys come through play. Yes, you're going to see a lot of the same similar shots, but you get to see guys hit bunker shots. You get to see how guys hit like little bump and runs, flop shots. You get to clap if somebody rips like a three-word on in the green and they got an eagle look.

You'll get to watch it. You'll learn, like, after a couple holes, you'll understand how to pick it up in the sky and have a little Frankie catty eyes and see where it's coming. So that's kind of my advice for that. And then another one is go to the driving range. It's really cool to watch the guys hit the ball in person the first time. The way that they hit the ball, if somebody plays like a little buttery cut

and watching them hit like every club in the bag like that and then be able to flip it and hit a couple draws when they need to. Watching those guys and hearing the way they hit the ball in the driving range is incredibly cool. I've never been to the players championship. We've been to Sawgrass for like a day. But we've never been to the players championship. The course is a stadium course, true stadium course, which means that it was built with all these mounds and shit.

around every hole so that you have great vantage points and all that. So it sounds like it's about as good a place to watch a golf tournament as any on the planet. So you guys will figure that out, but I don't know anything specifically about the tournament. Whenever we get a question like this, it's always the caveat of it's much better to watch a golf tournament on TV as opposed to going. Do you think there's any going to, is there any effort or is there going to be any effort to making, watching golf tournaments sort of like watching it on TV? Have you seen anything like that? Because we do always say we're like, watch on TV is better. going is not as good. Do you think there's any way that they're trying to bridge the gap there?

So, I mean, the best way that I've seen is they got the huge TV screens. Yep. So if you're sitting on nine all day, you can actually, they'll cut to what's going on on seven or what's going on on 15s. You kind of have some clue as to what's going on in the tournament. And then they also do the radio things. You know, you can put, they got the little, like, handout you can get for a couple bucks. A lot of times they'll hand them out.

The really small little, like, receivers that you put into your ear. and then you can hear like a live kind of feed tailored for that so you know what's going on around you. Outside of that, like the internet always sucks because you got your outside. You're usually a lot of golf courses the internet's not great anyways.

And then you factor in that you've got 50,000 people or 20,000 people or how many people are around. So the internet usually sucks. So like being able to watch live on the app and whatnot usually is a lost cause. That's what I was thinking. Like that might be the next thing you got to do.

You got to somehow figure out how to make the internet work at actual golf tournaments because Twitter and being able to stream is sort of the best way to be able to keep up with what's going on. Not just golf tournaments. I want to invent that. I want to invent internet at stadiums. Like I want to somehow do that. Internet at busy places? Busy places.

Let me ask you this. Why do you think, why does the internet always suck when you get onto an airplane and you're like five feet away from the airport, but now you're on the plane and then the plane goes out into the tarmac and stuff? Why is your internet always horrible in that situation? why isn't it just the same as in the airport I have no idea why doesn't internet work in the sky airplane internet why

it seems like something they should have perfected by now but to me I also understand why isn't LTE work on the on the plane why doesn't it just go out to this you're actually closer to the fucking you're actually what do you mean no there's towers the towers are on the ground

and your your signal has to go from the tower then up to the satellite and do that It doesn't just go straight to the satellite. That's what we need to do. You're not plugged into the satellite. We need to plug into the satellite. I do make a lot of money. Airlines need to send up satellites.

You trust that you American Airlines satellite float down? American Airlines. People are fucking idiots. But if you're like a big wig airline, you're like Virgin Atlantic or something like big, like you know, they got these like tycoons behind it and shit. Send up a satellite in the air. If there, yeah, if I was running an airline, the thing that I would be looking into would be, how to figure out the internet thing.

Honestly. Because no one has to figure it out. Everyone sort of has the airline thing. We can fly from this place to that place. It's not great. Nobody likes security. It's uncomfortable. They have live TV.

Great. Why can't they just have fucking live internet? I don't know. The internet, I mean, we understand they have internet, but it just sucks. Like,

they have Wi-Fi, and it's like it only works to 10,000 feet or above. Yeah, like when we dip below 10,000, it's going to shut off. It does. It does.

And when they're on the plane, it's not like the Wi-Fi is legitimate. The only time... It upload pictures. The only time that whole system works perfectly is when you're below 10,000 feet, it completely shuts off. Like, that's like nails every time. The thing that they got that thing not, not like they have that thing down. The thing that's great at it is turning it off.

Yes. How do they do that? I don't know. How are they so good at that? I have no idea. But the big, the world's biggest events and some of the biggest moments in people's lives, internet sucks. Yeah, anytime I, you go to a football game, baseball game, anything. Golf tournament.

Anything. Super Bowl. I couldn't get one clip up. It's crazy. It doesn't make it sense. How do we fix that? Tyler asked, I think it was Tyler. I wrote down Ty. What was the meaning of the term, Looper? I know it's a nickname for Caddies,

but where does that name come from? Then he also went on to say, Living in Iowa, I've never had much of a chance to play a very nice trend, to play a course nice or fancy enough to offer caddies. Is there a type of club or situation in which it would be socially unacceptable

to reject a caddy? Personally, I like carrying my own shit, but when should I be expected to use a K? First of all, the term looper comes, they call it a loop because I assume if you're double looping, it's like a loop is like the

handle on each bag or the strap on each bag. You've got a loop. So you might be like doing a single loop. You might be doing a double loop. Double loop means you're carrying two bags at the same time, which is very, very common. But it's also very difficult. If you got a guy that hits one on the left rough guy, it hits one on

right rough you got to sprint out there drop the guy's bag in the left rough tell them what the aridges and then sprint over to the other side of the course and get the guy on the right and do all the same thing double looping um i believe that's why they call him the looper that sounds right to me and you can even further do it you take a whole loop around the golf course i thought about that too i thought about that but then i feel like double loop would refer to doing two round 36 holes in a day which i feel like double loop always refers to like carrying two bags at a time no because when I was caddy. I was a big,

yeah, he went out for another loop. Like, like, so like, yeah, you went out for another loop. Interesting.

You know what I mean? Like, oh, where's like, where's Cleveland? This guy, Cleveland was awesome. For family guy?

No, his name was Cleveland. He was hilarious. And he would just like do loops on top of loops. Now does that mean he was carrying loops as in bags? But the way that they would phrase it was like, oh no, he's out for another loop.

I think I like that. I think I like that definition. I think both of them are true. Right. I do think. Yeah. You're probably right. I think they're both true.

But I wonder which ones like more prevalent. They don't say he's looping. They say like he's out there for another loop. He's out for another loop. Yeah. Interesting. I did two loops today. It's also the name of a Joseph Gordon-Lebett movie.

Correct. He said, I've never had much of a chance to play a nice course, fans enough to offer caddies. Is there a type of club situation where it's socially unacceptable? There are a lot of clubs where you're just not allowed to play golf without a cat. I mean, that's just like a lot of places. This is not common in the Midwest. Nope.

It was where we grew up. I never had an opportunity to use a caddy until I was like 25 or so, 24 maybe. First time I ever had a caddy and it was a stunning experience. I couldn't believe it. But there's a lot of clubs out, especially northeast. I mean, a lot of different places, but a lot of the really nice clubs, they'll have a rule until like 3 p.m. or something. If you go out, you just have to take caddies.

That's just the rule. Right. And it also helps the caddies, right? That's their job. Big time. Right. You don't want, like, guys, like, sitting around so when is it socially unacceptable reject a caddy when you go to a club that requires caddy

correct that would be the answer to that um i like carrying my own shit yeah i sort of why but it you know it's kind of tough it's it i will say too like the really nice clubs are for pretty much really rich people and so then paying an extra hundred bucks every time they play golf to have somebody carry their bag and help them out just makes a lot of sense now if you're like us and you're kind of struggling and you don't want to add a hundred dollar bill every single time you play golf you're going to try to find these loopholes, no pun intended, where you can plague off without a caddy. Or just live in Iowa.

That was nice. Thank you. That was nice. That was nice. I thought you guys were going to like that. That was nice. That felt really good. That was huge.

It felt incredibly good. Hunter said he's got a buddy who takes real estate chunks of Fairway out on like six practice swings. It's annoying. What's the protocol on this? Now, Hunter. Hey, buddy. Hey, buddy. Stop fucking doing that.

Are you telling me this guy's standing there for six. six swings and taking a huge chunk on every single practice thing? Like he's weed whipping? Is that what you're telling you? Just digging a big whole hole out there? Did you imagine that? We get a lot of these questions like, what do I do if my buddy's doing this? He's doing that.

This is one where you can be like, hey, stop fucking doing that. You just got to stop doing that. After two or three, it's like, dude, yeah. Look at what you're doing. It should come from your, stay with your chest, be like, stop fucking doing that. That's crazy. There's people that go to plant science school, just like, to protect that shit.

Yeah. I have his vision of like, you know, when Sergio did the one, two, three whack in the bunker. Yeah. Of this guy doing that on every practice thing. Taking out fucking ground. And his buddy is out there watching it, lets it happen, goes to his computer and emails us. And it's like, what do I do about this? It's like, you should have stopped that immediately.

Hunter, here's a protocol. Tell your buddy's a fucking asshole. Yeah. And stop taking six chunks out of the turf every time he tries to hit a golf ball. I imagine what he's doing on his actual golf swing. This guy's a clown. So just tell him, Hunter. And like Trent said, you're a clown for enabling it.

Tell him to stop. Just tell him, hey, dude, stop. And if you're a hunter's friend, again, we've done this on the podcast before. If you're Hunter's friend and this is you, stop doing it. That's it. Solved. Joe. Joe says, so starting now, this is a little bit of a, would you rather.

Starting now, you can never touch a golf club again until you're 50 years old, but it would mean that your son would win the masters. after that, being 50 years old, you could play golf all the golf that you want. Would you do that or would you not? Your son would win the Masters. That would also mean that every Sunday, or every Masters Sunday the week before the Masters,

you would get to play Augusta, too. I think this is a no-brainer, yes. A no-brainer, yes? Yes. Depending on what you're... All right, it's maybe not. I'm not no brain in now. I'm backtracking.

It depends on what your financial stated. Like, what's your job? Like, are you going to be able to retire when you're, like, for someone that's, like, not, like, for someone that's, like, working in, like, a pizzeria, I'm trying to think of like Frankie Borelli, like, a couple years ago. I'm working in my pizzeria. And if someone told me, like, hey, man, when you turn 50 years old, like, if I take away your golf cousin, when you turn 50 years old, you're going to birth a master's champion

and you're also going to be, like, set for the rest of your life financially because this sun that you, like, this seed that came out of you. is now going to be worth millions upon millions of dollars and you're going to be able to retire and never have to work another day in your life when you're 50 years old, and you're going to be able to play Augusta. I'm signing up for that.

I think giving up the next 20 years of golf is brook. But you get to watch it. You still get to be around the game. You get to enjoy your son playing the game. Like, yeah, you don't get to watch it, but you're still around the game. You don't get to play it, but you're still around the game. The downside of this also is you're not going to be able to play golf with your son

who is clearly good enough who he's going to win the Masters one day. So he's just playing and you're just watching him play all the time. There is no doubt about it that there is downsides to this, but I think that it's a, it's like basically saying, would you play, would you play golf for the next 20 years? Would you give up golf for the next 20 years to, yeah, to win the lottery? And to have a person with your last name, you didn't win the lottery. Like, your son won the masters. You won a form of the lottery. Like, your son became like one of the best athletes in the world. Yeah, that's very cool. But you didn't win the lottery. I mean, you won like the genetic lottery. yeah it's like one in a million higher more than way higher

hundreds of millions yeah correct even higher yeah might be one in life and yeah you are right though it's one in billions you won the genetic lottery like your son and you didn't win the lottery but your son is a professional golfer who has the ability to win the master so your life is probably going to be okay yes i would say no this is a no for me dog sorry to my son i'm sorry i love you

you're the man but like I can't make this agreement I'm just not gonna play off for the next 18 years that's your telling me get the fuck out of here what am I gonna do what am I gonna do bowl I want to go bowling bowling is kind of sick but I'm gonna do it every day every every weekend bollings not that sick no it's not play video games they're getting pretty good now you could be around the game though you just don't have to touch I don't want to be just around the game what does that even mean Like baseball managers, there's like baseball managers that like are really young. Like Aaron Boone doesn't get to like play baseball anymore, but he just gets to like be around the game and like coach baseball and shit. And he like enjoys it. You don't think Aaron Boone would rather be fucking 25 years old playing baseball? I guess in that argument like someone would just be like, would you do this to be like fine. I don't know.

I think in this scenario, I think you wouldn't want to be around it. You'd have to go cold turkey. I want to be around the game. Yeah. What are I going to be a college golf? extension of yourself like succeed once we get to a point i feel like that like matters like when you like hit your 40s i feel like that becomes something like right now we may not be able to see it right i'm 25 years old i don't know how i like have that part of my brain but like maybe

there's only like 10 or 15 more 10 years more where like i even care about like my golf game i care more about like making my son the next master's champion that may that may happen naturally what are you going to do when your son's like seven okay you guys roll up to the first tee your son gets his clubs out he's like all right daddy you play too you're like i can't it because you're going to be a master's fucking champion. I can't. I can't. Trust me, I can't. Yeah, I think not being able to play with your son is an underrated part of it.

You're going to be one you're going to want to play. Imagine that minute then you turn 50 though and then you're like, hey, I can play it out. He sounds like he's so sick at golf. He turns like a JT where like he's like a hot head on the golf course. He's not going to give a fuck who he's playing with. Kids are going to be unreal. He's not going to care about his dad playing golf with him. He's going to be playing with, he's going to be like Tiger Woods on the fucking, on those little TV shows.

six months into this deal you're regretting it you're out I have a countdown six months in you're out I have a countdown clock saying you're about to win

your family's about to win them we're going to win the master's right and that clock's going to say 20 fucking something years it's going to be a big clock you're in golf prison for 20 something years it would be very hard

but also 50's not old at all it's not young but it's not old like that's when guys usually play up yeah like the common man guy I play now.

I know, but like, we're thinking about ourselves, like going on vacation, like, being able to like go golf. That's who it's about yourself. All right, but I'm, but like, we're trying to, like, I'm trying to put myself in, like, common man shoes where, like, guys only get the golf like two or three times a year, right? Like who, there's people out there that would choose this. Yeah, definitely, not me. No, but you play a ton of golf. Yeah. Right.

That's why for me, it's a no dog. Yeah. I think if you're an average person, fine. Well, like, we play a lot more golf. So I think the average. person, I think the general answer would be that they'd wait. All right. Across the board. Yeah.

But yeah, it's a reason of question because it's harder for us. I think the average person would say, yeah, I want my son to be a master's champion. Fine. That's fine. Stephen says, I have a golf trip to Florida next week and the forecast doesn't look great at the moment. Can I get Riggs-Eweather's blessing on the pod? I mean, did

you write this email? No. I promise you. I didn't write the email. All right, Stephen. People were looking for good weather, and I just I thought it was interesting to put it on the show. I think you were a little afraid that the rigsy well. You're giving yourself blessings now. You're giving yourself the ability to give out blessings.

Why do you guys think I put this in that? What are you the fucking Pope? I didn't email myself. I think you're a little worried. Can I get a rigsy weather blessing? That's what the guy asked for. What do you want me to do? I think you're a little worried that the rigsy weather thing was going away.

You're like, all right, I'm going to be Stephen here. And I'm going to, let me tell you this. I was going out of the Bahamas for four days. Okay. Was it supposed to rain on Monday? On Monday, the forecast looks like Thursday, Friday. all rain Wednesday comes around

starts to go down from 40% down to 30% we get there Thursday I hate this Tony's using I know get there Thursday I'm telling you boys

horrible fucking we land about 1135 I'm talking it stopped rain at 11 a.m. Didn't fucking rain the whole weekend you know when it's going to rain You can make up that you can make up that lie

because you know me and Frankie are going to go back and check 80% 80 degrees sun's out little windies you get the full experience the golf course four days straight it's going to rain on your wedding day it's going to rain it doesn't rain on your wedding day yeah well is that alanus yeah more set it's going to rain when you're

on their way into the hospital when your when your kid is about to be born you're going to have to go through like puddles who is not going to be a master's champion all these big moments in your life where like people you don't know i hope it's good weather you are going to get the opposite you guys are just wrong i mean you guys are not believers which is crazy this guy's a believer he asks my blessing Stephen, you have my blessings. I want to shoot Rigsie Weather into the sun. I will give you my blessing. You will have great weather.

I'm talking. I go to San Andreas. They said it's been raining for like two months straight. I arrive four days, 62 degrees sunny the entire time. Same with pebble. Same with Cabot. Same with Bandon.

Everywhere I go. Same with the Bahamas. It's a bit of a rigsy weather backfire though on the, on that St. Andrews though, because you kind of want the elements, no? Yeah, I just kind of said that to trick the weather. I was when I really learned I had the power.

Okay. That's what you guys don't understand. So, Stephen, I appreciate the question. Yeah, you can have my blessing. I hope you have great weather in Florida. I know that you will now at this point. Play really well. Good luck out there.

Last one, Kevin says, favorite snacks to eat on the golf course. They make the sharp cheddar cheese. You guys know what I'm talking about? Or the spread, where you put that little mini knife in there and the cheese and crackers, and you eat a couple of those at the turn at the halfway house. Best snack and golf is not even close.

Beef turkey. I mean, I have one that's way better. Not even close. Beef jerky is better. No free ads, but it's called a 10th T bar. I don't know if you ever had this. You're talking about a bar? There is a bar.

And I shit you not. It looks like a little piece of geese poop. It's the most unappetitizing. Sounds amazing. What a specific poop? I'm not kidding. It's like it's those little curled up white pieces of shit that you'll see on the floor. It's a lot.

When you see a 10th T bar, it's this peanut butter. It's a peanut butter one. So it's got a white coating. I don't know what the coating is. But you put this thing in your mouth and it's like chewy. We often talk in like our arteries. We love like this gummy texture. It's like a chewy, chocolatey, peanut buttery energy bar and it melts in your mouth.

You just want to squeeze it in between your teeth. You want it to get stuck in your teeth. That's it. That's it. Trent's looking at right now. It's an orange casing. When you walk up to, when you walk up to a clubhouse or a snack stand, you see that glimpse of gold. on the little bar section.

You know, like, give me that 10th D-War. It's one of the best fucking moments ever. Now, this may also only be, like, in the New York area. I don't know if this is a national thing, because I've only seen it at Beth Page. Look, so... I want to try it now. I mean, you got me home.

It's unbelievable. The only thing I'll agree with you on that? It dries a shit out of your mouth, though. So you have to combine it with a gatorade or a beer. What were you talking about with the gummy texture? Or that's... I couldn't agree more with that. Oh, I just want to squeeze it in between my teeth.

I want to... Like... People, like... People, when they, like, chew so hard. I want to chew so hard on this thing right now. Like I love

I love milk thuds. Oh. I love having to work at it. A Snickers. Oh. And you just like squeeze in the back of your teeth. Yeah.

So bad for your teeth. Oh, it's terrible. But I like fucking cavities. But I just like the work that it takes. It just is squeezing.

Yeah. It just delivers cavities straight to your fucking teeth. Oh, it rots your teeth out with every bite. But 10th T bars. It may be a regional thing. I don't know if it's

like strictly with like Beth Page and like all the golf courses by me because I don't remember seeing it like when I've traveled. All right. Well, those are our snacks. I will say anybody, anytime you eat like a sandwich or something at the turn, huge mistake. Full stomach. Can't quite swing the same way. You don't feel the same way.

Kind of like getting a huge lunch at work. I'm trying to go back and do work in the afternoon. No chance. I'll hit one hot dog. One hot dog is about the max. Yeah. And even I would say if it's like a big, you know. Like a brought worst?

Yeah. that thick, juicy sausage. You might want to do a half. You might want to cut that sucker and a half split with your buddy. Right. Because you'll be a little, you know, you'll just be a little bogged out out there. You don't want to be that. Harder to drink.

We already talked about drinking all the golf course, how imperative that is to a good round. So those are our thoughts on snacks. You got any other ones that we miss. Hit us up.
