Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, 4Play listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Foreplay, present I have a barstool sports. It's a scene in the studio right now because we just gave Frankie breaking news. What do you mean you lost in ping-pong lurch? I just walked into the studio. They said Lurch lost in ping-pong, and I don't think I can do the show anymore. I'm upset.
Starting point is 00:00:28 I'm sitting over here. I'm sweating, I'm flustered. What the fuck happened? It was terrible. It was terrible. And I don't even want to go the route that everybody knows I'm about to go. So Hank and I played three games. I won two.
Starting point is 00:00:39 I lost one. Did you dominate them in the first two? No. This is going to sound pathetic. And I'm not, I'm generally not an excuse guy. What's the excuses? You only have the padded paddles in there. You don't have the hard sandpaper paddles or like the just one thing of rubber.
Starting point is 00:00:55 And those are the paddles that I use. I am not a spin player. I'm a pure power hitter. And I couldn't get the ball on the table. But that's no excuse because you show up to ping pong bars and places. And they always have the cheap panels, which they have the cheap and the good. And the cheap are the ones that I like. Now, anyways, folks at home need to understand.
Starting point is 00:01:14 On Friday, we have this room, this sweet game room in the office, ping pong table. Everybody's, you know, who's good. Everybody's got a buddy. And this guy thinks they're good. And we talked Lurch up at the end of last week in this office. like Trent said, like Roger Federer was about to walk in here. We were saying he could beat everybody lefty.
Starting point is 00:01:33 He dummies people lefty. Essentially, you were a mythical character in the world of ping pong. And then you go out there in your first showing and you lose to Hank. Is Hank really good? No. I saw Hank pull lurch to go back into the room and play. And I was like, I can't wait until they get out here. And the look on Hank's face is going to be like, boy, this guy is dominant.
Starting point is 00:01:54 He is a once-in-a-generation player. and I saw them walk out and there were no facial expressions whatsoever. And I come in here and Lurch tells us that he lost. And I knew Frankie was going to have a shit fit. Did he like, what was he thinking? I just couldn't keep the ball. So my play is just to get out to my forehand and then just wallow from corner to corner. I couldn't keep the ball on the table.
Starting point is 00:02:16 So then I wanted to snap the racket. And then I was just overwhelmed with frustration and I got worse and worse and worse. He must be a pretty solid player to do. I think you'd beat him. The way you played today, I could have beaten you? Yes. What? Yes.
Starting point is 00:02:32 I couldn't keep the ball on the team. Are you nervous? What happened? No, I just... Are you not a big time player? It's impossible to overstate how much people were talking up Lurch a week ago. It's impossible to explain how when Lurch is on his game, he's unbeatable. It's impossible to explain how much you ruined our reputation in this office.
Starting point is 00:02:50 Think about my reputation. I'm new around here. I don't care about your reputation. I care about Trent myself. I'm talking about you. Frankie. to the day. We have no, we don't understand how the universe works.
Starting point is 00:03:00 I'm pretty sure at one point someone was like he could beat people with his foot. He can put the pad between his pose. We said not to put you in a tournament because it would be unfair. That's actually true. You lost to heck. You know, I know. It was terrible. I should have, the stupid part on my part was that I won the first two games and I kind of just snuck out of them.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Like, it really just not impressive ping pong. Just getting the ball back and he just missed more than I did. And then I was like, let's just play one more because Riggs came in and we still had more time before you got back. from the pizza. So I was like, I'll just do one more game. Oh my God. And I think he was out to a 10-2 star or something. I was just trying to hit the ball.
Starting point is 00:03:34 I couldn't get the ball on the table with any sort of thing. I thought it was me. I was a problem. So I walked out. I didn't even say a word. I just slinked out of the room because it was so embarrassing what was happening. And then he came out and I was like, how to go? He said, not well.
Starting point is 00:03:45 And then you walked in and now we're talking about it. Wow. Wow. A stunning bit of news. To think you were going to come into this room while high and mighty with your chest popped out after a couple of wins with the raiders. down and pathetic. But now you're just a shell of a man.
Starting point is 00:03:59 Yes. I feel awful. You lost in your, like your thing. I told Reg's my games in jambl. Yeah. You told me Friday and we were at the bar that you think, ping pong is the best thing that you do.
Starting point is 00:04:09 And I still believe that. But that can't be true if you can only play with the cheap paddles. Right? Like professional ping pong players play with the real paddles. Well, no, they have their paddles. Right. But if he walked in,
Starting point is 00:04:21 they wouldn't lose the hang. Has different string tension than like a Rafon Adal. They have. I need to look. The rackets that we have aren't like standard, like where you need to have them. Like ping pong tournaments don't hold you to a standard to use a certain. No, you can use your own racket. Really?
Starting point is 00:04:35 Yeah, for sure. And then I'm sure even in the ping pong world, and I don't even know this, that some come like that with probably a softer foam than others. Because some, I would assume if you're playing a lot of spin, you'd probably like a very soft foam, right? But very grippy. So you can cut the ball? Holy shit. Yeah, it's a nightmare. Did you realize late in that?
Starting point is 00:04:56 game which you lost that you were delivering was going to be like a monumental disappointment for four-play? I mean, I wasn't even thinking that far ahead. I was just thinking about myself and how pathetic this loss is. I was so upset with myself. When it was 10-2, I was like, I can't believe I'm losing this. And then he was taking these wild cuts at the ball and they were going in and I was like, this sucks.
Starting point is 00:05:19 He had all kinds of confidence. He played against incompetent lurch. Yeah, exactly. You got to hope that. What were the scores the first two games? probably like 21. I was just sneaking out of 2117, 2117, and then maybe he beat me, I don't know, 2115. You got to hope that Hank just becomes a ping pong prodig.
Starting point is 00:05:37 No, that's fine. What's going to happen is I'm going to go get my paddle. I'm going to come back on Wednesday. I'm going to go right over to his desk, the man that we play, beat the shit out of him, then come back in here. Okay. And I don't think he's going to get the 10 points. I want that for you and I want that for everyone in this room. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Because our reputation is in shambles. I mean, we talk you up all time. I was incompetent. I couldn't get the ball on the court. When you show up the five iron, they have the hard paddle. They have both. A lot of places usually just have both. Hank even thought you guys had both, but you don't.
Starting point is 00:06:11 We did a small search. Have we just been watching you play against, like, fucking Stephen Hawking? Why have you looked so good to us all the time? I don't know what to say. I can't defend my position. I mean, I'm upset. I'm flustered. I'm going to be furious if you get even a wink of sleep tonight.
Starting point is 00:06:32 You'll be thinking. I don't deserve it. Oh, yeah, until Wednesday. Yeah. And then hope to God he's at his desk because I'm going right over there and I'm going to tap on his desk with my... He's a busy guy. He works for a very, very popular podcast.
Starting point is 00:06:43 So you better hope so. You might have to sleep on the couch tonight. Put you on the couch, buddy. Anyways, I guess we'll talk golf now. Lurch of you... Lurch sucks. Lurch sucks. You should.
Starting point is 00:06:55 shouldn't even be allowed to have a take, I guess, on the rest of the show. But that's okay. We'll talk some golf, different sport, try to get your mind off the fact that you got beat by Hank in ping pong. There's a lot to talk about. Tiger Woods is playing this week. First tournament of the year for Tiger.
Starting point is 00:07:09 I always declare this. In my own head, I've always kind of thought of this as the first, like, real week of PGA tour season since I've been following golf pretty seriously for whatever it's been, 15 or 20 years, because this has always been when Tiger Woods starts. He doesn't start out in Hawaii. Hawaii always feels weird because there are different times
Starting point is 00:07:25 zones and they're in fucking Hawaii. It's like a fake place. And then the American Express last week, you know, no offense to that tournament, but I don't think that really moves the needle. And then boom, you get Torrey Pines. They're on the cliffs. San Diego, Tiger Woods. He's won there a million times.
Starting point is 00:07:39 This is when the PGA tour season really, really starts. And Tiger Woods is starting his year. His last appearances that we've seen, he was basically the best player in the world. He's the reigning masters champion. So it's a lot of exciting things to get to. I want to address really quickly of the Barstool, Classic 2020 venues and dates will be announced next month in February. I get a lot of requests.
Starting point is 00:08:01 So rather than respond to all of them, I'm just going to tell you now. If you're listening to the show, probably early to mid-February, we will go live with all of them. 14 different cities. 15th, if you include the championship venue, which will be a multi-day thing. So stay tuned for that. Masters commercial yesterday during Championship Sunday and football. This is always when the hype gets going. People start tweeting about how many days until the Masters, and then you see the Masters
Starting point is 00:08:24 There's commercials. I love the original ones that they usually do, which are very abstract and vague. We talked about they had like an eagle flying in slow motion, just a couple like slow motion shots of Ray's Creek and of aiming corner. And now we got one with Full with Tiger of the Return to Glory, Tiger with his hands in the air. It's just such a beautiful sight to see when you're watching football. Joe Buck cuts away for a second, boom, you get Tiger Woods.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Sexy. So good. They kind of sneak you in and around the course of Augusta, too. too with that beautiful music. They do. And then they're just like April. It should be like, contentious and like douchebaggery, but it's not.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Like you should see them like, all right, like fuck off. You're like playing music this minute. You know what I mean? Yeah. But like it works. Somehow it works.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Like you're doing this three months in advance and you're so cocky. Like how cocky can you be? They just like play like a little piano jingle and just show like a couple flowers and everyone's like in a fucking go nuts. Everybody's jaw hits the floor. Yeah. But it works. It never misses.
Starting point is 00:09:22 It's flawless. They about a thousand on the commercials. That would be if, like, if the NHL in, like, July, just, like, tweet out a close-up of the blue line and, like, it's like. Coming in October, you'd be like, what are you doing? Yeah, we know when it is. But for some reason. Just a rink, buddy. The Masters just gets a pass.
Starting point is 00:09:44 And I'm for it. I love it. People get, for this very reason. People get it. All I see on Twitter when the commercial there is people tweet at us being like, did you guys see it? It's coming. Also, in New England, it plays so well, too. because you're in like just this awful cold weather right now,
Starting point is 00:09:57 and you see those beautiful flowers and that green grass, and you're just golf seasons on the horizon. It just plays on so many different levels. It's great. It's a really exciting time, and it's, you pair that with Tiger Woods, get ready to start his year, which feels like the beginning of the climb towards the masters and towards trying to peek at Augusta.
Starting point is 00:10:16 It's just a beautiful time to be alive. A couple things we've got to circle back on. Brooks Kevka, buried Bryce and Deshambo. So when we recorded the show, Bryson had essentially chirped Brooks Kepka. Brooks Kepka had not responded yet, but we on the show were talking about what we thought he might say. Frankie was very close to just nailing it spot on.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Had the essence of it for sure. Pretty much the same sort of tone. Just saying like, yeah, I'd made out of the abs, but I got the trophies. Something about like, you know? You crushed it. You were spot on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:49 It was funny too because I was telling Trent, like my brain's been mashed potatoes recently. I just can't think of words. Like the other day Is it the losses to the Rangers? No The other day Something's going on with me
Starting point is 00:10:58 Where I couldn't think of something So I couldn't think of like The word train station I was like what's that thing That we go on home That I was in sometimes It's happening so much We go on home
Starting point is 00:11:07 Yeah I was like What's the thing we're about to like So it was a train Not a train station Yeah Because someone's like What's the nearest They're like
Starting point is 00:11:15 Where do you take it I'm like the nearest And I started like Snapping Nearest train station Is Westbury So calling that was nice To get the brain
Starting point is 00:11:23 But what I was meant to say was like when I was doing that whole Bryson thing, I was like trying to think of a word where it's like where like he was a way like he almost had the six pack. Like I was trying to think of it and I just couldn't. Like that was in my brain. I almost called it word for word. I pictured him like standing in front of like a mirror like with the trophies stopping seeing the six pack. That's what I was like going to like visualize. Yeah. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:47 I don't have a six pack but I'm close. You know what I mean? If you were standing behind them being like, oh, it's not quite a six pack. If you would have had like a half hour or hour only to think about this, I think he would have gone. I would have. I was right there. And if you would have known that like the trophies sat like that in his home,
Starting point is 00:12:03 that would have helped a lot. He actually should have done what I just said. Do you think the trophy sit like that in his home? Or do you think he should have taken a picture where he's holding them all in front of a shirtless body of his and been like, yeah, I'm actually close to a six-backer. I'm too short. I'll be there soon. That, yeah, looking yoked. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:21 He did say you were right at Bryce Neuchampo. I am too short of a six-pack, and it was just his four major championship trophies, a couple of U.S. Open medals. Weird that he keeps him, like, underneath his stairs. Yeah, weird. I think that was bizarre. If that's where he keeps him, I guess maybe some of the theories that he just put him all in one place to take the photo to chirp him, which is a funny thing in and of itself,
Starting point is 00:12:40 like the thought of Brooks Kepka walking around his home, grabbing his different major trophies, all right, babe, how are we going to do this? I think right here we could set him up. I'm going to tweet this, and like the amount of effort and time that he goes, into staging like really funny content to roast Bryce Nis Chambot. I don't know what that whole process looks like, but he buried him. I love it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:02 I like to think that that's right when you walk into the house, though. You know? Yeah. Like the doors right there. Maybe there's stairs that go upstairs and whatever. It feels like it's the welcome. It feels like that's the first thing you see. Yeah, it's a welcome.
Starting point is 00:13:13 And the best part is like the trophies all make a little heart right there. You see that? Oh, shit. Yeah. That's beautiful. Yeah. That's really beautiful. I didn't notice that.
Starting point is 00:13:22 All right. So lesson learned. and Bryson. Did you guys see if Bryson's response? What did he say? This is why you're world number one? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:30 I mean, he's got nothing else. No, next page. There's nothing else he can do. But this is why Bryson gets himself into these things sometimes because Bryson thinks he is bigger than he is. He really does. I love Bryson. We have him on the show all the time.
Starting point is 00:13:45 We've said all the positive things we're ever going to say about him. But like, you have to know that if you're going to take shots at Brooks Kevka, he always has the Trump card over you. Like he has won four majors. You've won zero. He's world number one and you're just not. And so like Brooks Kevka has not proven in the last year or two to be quiet. He's going to respond and you know you're going to get toasted and you know it's going to end up with you having to be like, ha ha.
Starting point is 00:14:08 That's why he's world number one. I also think he's got tunnel vision on the abs and like lifting things. So he's looking at it like, but I do have better abs than him. Like so I did win that one. Yeah, he's got more trophies, but I still have the better abs. When everybody's just like, it doesn't matter what your abs look like. if you can, you know, fill a trophy case, that's what matters. And Bryson, for some reason, doesn't quite connect those two things.
Starting point is 00:14:30 Yeah, I think you're spot on with that. He's like, how do these people not see that it's unfair that he took this off of ab? Right. He's looking at it right now like it's one to one. He's like, I got better abs. He's got more trophies. Rubber match, we'll see what happens. Whatever that may be, we'll see.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Right. And also, why did he change to the trophy thing? I was just on abs. What is he talking about? when the rest of the world was just like Googling coffin gifts and like dead and buried. And he's like, well, it's one to one. Tie game. Tie game going.
Starting point is 00:15:02 We're going back to Bryce. It's got home ice. It's one of one. We'll see. It's like, buddy, it's over. No, it's over. Unless you go win five major championships, it's over. Just another great storyline for golf.
Starting point is 00:15:14 These two, like, chirping at each other, which I still think my theory about it being about people being so quick to be, like Brooks can beat up Bryson. I don't think this is going away anytime soon. Bryson might just become the most jacked person in the world. Yeah, and just a punching bag for Brooks Kepka whenever he wants. Yeah. And Kepka knows it plays.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Right. Like roasting Bryson Deschambeau plays. It gets all the gifts, all the skull emoji gifts, all the death, the coffins, all that stuff. It gets it every time and he knows it and he's going to keep going back to it. Also, just so spot on for both brands. Like Bryson says this when he's playing Fortnite video game.
Starting point is 00:15:50 and then Brooks comes back with just four master or four championship trophies right next to a stairwell. It's like, this is a joke. It is. It's spot on. It was right in line with both. I don't love the gaming slander there, but it's okay. No, but I mean like it's on brand for both personas. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:08 It's perfect. It is. Yeah, like you're Bryson and people that just play Fortnite all time are fucking nerds. And Brooks Keppka's out there like banging his missile and walking by his major champion trophies and in his free time. being like, yeah, no, I go out of my boat and I just, I don't even care about it. He's like, I don't even really like golf. Right. So that part of Brooks, I despise.
Starting point is 00:16:27 Right, I know. It's okay. We've talked about it at length on this podcast, which I understand where you're coming from. But he's got, but he could still, you could say that to him and he might haul out that trophy picture again and be like, but. Yeah, he'll always win, yeah. Right. Always win.
Starting point is 00:16:39 When you're attacking him on golf, he'll always win. He would have to be a bad guy for you to even have a chance at the upper hand. Yeah. And even then, no one cares. Like, you know what I mean? Like it'd have to be like a coocher thing, like not tipping the caddy for you have a chance, like as a blogger to have a chance to beat him. Yeah, yeah, that is. If you ever attack them on sport, it's like, dude, you sit behind a desk and type on a keyporting.
Starting point is 00:17:01 Yes. There's probably nothing in the world that Brooks Kevka is worse at than any of us. Say that again? Like in reality. I was going to say, well, boy, you just can't stand on that leg anymore. No. What did you say? There's like probably nothing in the world that like, that I think.
Starting point is 00:17:17 people would ever actually care about that Bryce and he shan or that Brooks kept because worse at than any of us. No, not, yeah, right. Not to the level where people are like, oh, they got you, correct. Like somebody could be like,
Starting point is 00:17:28 oh, well, uh, Riggs is like a little better at men's league hockey. Like, nobody gives a fuck about that. It would have to be like anything that's real. He's like jacked.
Starting point is 00:17:36 He's very good looking. He's got tons of money. Pretty funny and like, and witty and dust people on like Twitter enough. He got a ton of money. He wins major championships. He's got a great looking, you know,
Starting point is 00:17:46 girlfriend. Like what a, He's got me. He's got me every side of the coin. Yep. Teeth are white as hell. Great teeth. Underrated teeth.
Starting point is 00:17:54 Yeah, I agree with that. Especially against that complexion. He's got a little bit of kind of tan. He's so tan all the time. Yeah. Because he's always on the boat. Right. With this really hot girl, you know.
Starting point is 00:18:02 Damn. The whole thing. Speaking of which, most guys have tried to waste the last longer. But thinking about, I don't know, I'm not going to. I was going to say, thinking about Brooks Kepp could that might actually make you last shorter. Probably last so long, too. He's coming from the lookalike dead guy over there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Yeah, he probably does. Probably does. But thinking about Frankie's thighs does not always work. The folks at Roman and online men's health company... Tell me that's in the entry. Okay. You read it like it was. Yeah, you did.
Starting point is 00:18:36 That was great. The folks at Roman and online mental company... Think about my thighs. Oh, I go limp right away. I might go limp for a week. I'll never have sex again. Yes. I have a problem.
Starting point is 00:18:47 That's the reason. Never get it up. That's a joke. Or changing the game. The moment's. We can't even look at you. Well done. That's a joke.
Starting point is 00:18:58 No, it's a great joke. I got it. I like it. All you got to do is put two little things of paper on either side of my thighs, and that's just a Mutzedl ball. You know the ones you get at a, you just, you want, you know what I mean? You know how you can squeeze it and the milk comes out? You ever get a fresh Mitzad L ball? Dude, say it.
Starting point is 00:19:13 I haven't know. Just say it the right way. I mean, that's what I'm saying. Why do you have to do this? Fresh mozzarella ball. I'm not going to say fresh mozzarella ball, and you can also get it. You also get it at the carcuit.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Whatever. I'm just saying that's what my thighs are like. Roman swipes are a clinically proven way to last longer in bed. They're effective, easy to use, and fast acting, but do not require a prescription. When you go to get roman.com slash four,
Starting point is 00:19:35 you can get your first month of swipes for just five bucks when you choose a monthly plan. If you use the link, get roman.com slash four. That is get roman.com slash four. PGA Tour warned Cameron Smith. We got a bunch of headlines and a bunch of from the galleries. We're kind of going to jump all over the place here.
Starting point is 00:19:52 But PGA Tour report coming out from, I guess, Australia Golf Digest, which I didn't know was a thing. I thought it was just a golf digest everywhere. There's an Australia Golf Digest. They came out with a report that essentially says, according to a source, an official from the PGA Tour spoke to Cameron Smith about his remarks regarding Patrick Reed and the cheating situation, essentially issuing a warning that he would be. be fine in the future if he made similar statements. If you recall, leading up to President's Cup time, Cameron Smith said, if you make a mistake maybe once, you could maybe understand, but to give it a bit of a bullshit response like the camera angle, that's pretty up there as inexcusable.
Starting point is 00:20:33 I don't have any sympathy for anyone that cheats. I hope the crowd absolutely gives it to not only him, but everyone on the American team next week. I know Pat pretty good and he always has been nice to me, so I don't want to say anything bad about him, but anyone's cheating the rules. I'm not up for that. Those were his comments. Folks are responding to this latest report of the PGA tour,
Starting point is 00:20:52 basically going, like, behind, going off the record to threaten Cameron Smith that he's going to get fine for making comments like this. The tour has always had a little bit of, like, a Protect the Shield thing. It doesn't get nearly the publicity that the NFL does, obviously, because it's a PGA tour versus the NFL. But they don't go public with, like, suspensions, they don't disclose those types of things, disciplinary action. They don't disclose that type of stuff.
Starting point is 00:21:22 The only time it ever gets out is when it leaks. And then here they are doing these kinds of things. So the PGA tour has very clearly always been a little almost like dark behind the scenes in trying to control the narrative and whatnot. So this isn't surprising. But it is like, it's just a bad look. It's got to be the part they have a problem with this has got to be. I hope the crowd absolutely gives it to not only him, but everyone on the American team next week. that's got to be what the problem is, right?
Starting point is 00:21:47 They don't want them to be, like, inciting. Like, if people end up taking that too far, and then the fans can be like, well, Cameron Smith told us to do that. Like, I feel like that's the issue they have. They don't want people, especially players on the PJ Tour, saying, I want the crowd to be vicious and mean to golfers on. Because that can, if you play that out, it could get to a really bad place, right?
Starting point is 00:22:09 And I think that would be something that would be understandable in most people's eyes. I think what a lot of people, take away from this is that the PGA tour does a lot to like protect this image that all of the guys that play on the PGA tour are like exceptional human beings that the PGA tour is like this um we're we're as good as it gets in terms of integrity and and defending the honor of the game and everybody calls penalties on themselves and so therefore if you're out there Cameron Smith calling another one of your co-workers colleagues a cheater that that doesn't look good. Like the fact that they have Jay Monahan, the commissioner and Slugger White and the
Starting point is 00:22:50 rules officials coming out and saying like, no, no, Patrick Reed couldn't have been more of a gentleman the way that he handled all this, this, that. I think you could really look at that as them making a very concerted effort to make it look like there's no cheating going on in the BGA tour and everybody's very good and they all call penalties on themselves, this, that. When in reality, it's like the complete opposite of that. And a lot of people's minds, like, Patrick Reed clearly cheated. He should have been disqualified from the third. tournament. Instead, he just got like a two-stroke penalty. And then Patrick Reed being talked about cheating afterwards, followed up with like a cease
Starting point is 00:23:22 and desist from Patrick Reed going to Brando Chambly, the PGA tour cracking down on like Cameron Smith calling him a cheater. Yeah. And that they're kind of like reaching all their tentacles out there to bring in any potential headlines and chatter in the, in the public space that Patrick Reed is a cheater. And I think that's a bad look. Cheating's like concussions for the NFL. They just want that word nowhere close to the,
Starting point is 00:23:45 The Shield or the business or any of that. When in reality, like, I don't know if it necessarily helps, but it certainly makes it more interesting. Like, if you look at it at a place like Barstool, like whenever another coworker calls out another coworker, that's great for business. Like, that's great for business because it gets people to talk about it. The PJ Tour takes the complete opposite approach
Starting point is 00:24:05 where it's like, no, no, no, everything's good. Everything's fine. There's just there's nothing going on here. This is what the NBA is very good at. Right. Like, that is half of the excitement in the NBA. It's like the player drama back and forth, off the court stuff, the way that they like each other, don't like each other, former teammates getting into each other with each other in the locker.
Starting point is 00:24:22 I'm like, that drives a ton of interest in the game. And I think golf to a certain degree is definitely going to benefit from it now. I think like eventually it could get to a point where it's better. But I think all of this is a no-brainer positive for golf right now. Like you said, you got one guy calling another guy like a cheater and then they might pair them together for sure. Yeah. You got Bryson and Brooks like doing it. pair them together for sure like to give the people what they want like if the tj tour had their way with brooks and bris and they'd be like both of their abs are fantastic there's nothing going on they both look great but it's like it's far more interesting when they're sniped at each other it's far more interesting for cameron smith to be like i think that guy who i'm on the same tour with and who i could be matched up with at some point is a cheater that's like imagine if they got paired up together it'd be like holy shit it'd be every single golf outlet would be dragging back up the comments be like no no these guys are playing right next to each other for
Starting point is 00:25:14 for four and a half, five hours. Yeah. This is exactly what they said about each other. And it'd be great. And you'd be very excited. You'd be more likely to tune in. I guess, like, the reason the tour does it is because maybe their sponsorship dollars and the type of
Starting point is 00:25:26 companies that work with a PJ tour, financial institutions, insurer, all these places are, like, very clean. And they want to represent, like, as clean of a, but, you know, I don't know what it's got to be some sort of backbone of why. Insurance companies, incredibly honorable. Definitely. That's definitely, you know, it's a good call on their part. Please don't let our next ad would be an insurance company.
Starting point is 00:25:47 That don't matter. But, yeah, I guess that could be part of it. It just seems like, I don't know. It's not to a place where it's detrimental in any sort of real way. It's just Cameron Smith being like, I think that guy's a fucking cheater. And I'm going to call him out in the public space. That's really it. Which in our, I think everybody on this show's opinion is great for professional golf.
Starting point is 00:26:07 Yes. Makes it instantly more interesting. More drama. That's what you want. Yeah. Google Earth images of Augusta National have surfaced in the last couple days. So if I take this correctly, Google Earth updates, you know, you don't know exactly when they're going to update, but when they have kind of the most recent images from certain areas, they'll just obviously update it.
Starting point is 00:26:32 And when you're scrolling through Google Earth, you might all of a sudden stumble upon it. Well, somebody in the golf Twitter world did that in the last couple days and noticed, holy shit, over Augusta National. It's all dormant, which a lot of us have seen, if you've been to different parts of the country at certain times, especially somewhere like Augusta, where they do a bunch of overseeding. So the rumor is that these photos of Augusta National, if you have not seen these, go Google it, go look on Twitter. These aerial satellite photos of Augusta National were taken in September, which is when they basically overseed. So the course looks like that. Dormant, all that stuff dies. They overseed, and then it blooms, and it becomes green as hell from October through, you know, the rest of the rest of it.
Starting point is 00:27:12 of their season, which Augusta closes, I think, from May through September and reopens in October. So the rumor is these are from September. Some interesting takeaways, you can kind of go look at it. It's fun to look at the course from the aerial vantage point and to see it dormant and brown when it's usually green. It's interesting. I don't like seeing that. It takes, like, I'd rather, in my head, think that it's always a wonderland and it's always heaven. But it looks, looking at these pictures, it's just horrifying.
Starting point is 00:27:39 Yeah, you're right. I don't like it, but it is, like, interesting. I think it's hard to not look at it. For sure. You know, you're kind of, you're like intrigued. The biggest takeaway that people were kind of raving about is the space behind the 13th T. So the 13th T used to back right up to a hole at Augusta Country Club, which Augusta Country Club borders Augusta National. And 2017, I believe Augusta National paid tens of millions of dollars to buy real estate that allows them the opportunity to extend
Starting point is 00:28:10 the Frankie's computer sounds like a spaceship. It's going to fucking explode again. All I did was pull up, first of all, Google Earth must use so much like process or whatever. Because I went to go plug this in and this thing started humming. So behind the 13th hole,
Starting point is 00:28:29 you know, 13th hole is 510 yard par 5, dogleg left. You know it with Rays Creek running through it. Maybe the most iconic par 5 in the entire world. The problem is that literally the 11th hole is longer. It's like 30 yards longer than the 13th hole it plays is the easiest hole in the course. Almost anybody in the field now can just, if they hit a good drive, they have like a mid to short iron in.
Starting point is 00:28:50 I've seen Bubba Watson hit like pitching wedges in. That ain't a good part five. Everybody knows that. So Augusta has thought for a long time, well, what are we going to do about this? Do we move the T way back? Fred Ridley, who is the chairman of Augusta, has said, yes, we purchased the ground, the land behind the 13th hole. we now have options. I think people say they could they could lengthen it at least up to 75 yards.
Starting point is 00:29:13 They could they could lengthen it 10 yards, 75, whatever the hell they want to do. They have said that they're going to wait until the USGA and the RNA's joint report on distance in golf comes out, which I think February 4th, that's two weeks from today, is when that's supposed to come out. So they've basically said, we're not going to make any decisions until their report on distance comes out. He has made the point that like Aeman Corner is one of the most sacred places. in all the world of golf. So to tweak it and, like, bring bulldozers in and, like, lengthen this, that is a bold move that they're not going to rush through. However, you look at this aerial shot, there's a fucking road and a bunch of dirt that has been built behind the 13th hole.
Starting point is 00:29:54 And a lot of people are starting to wonder what the hell is going to happen at a 13 at Augustine National. Do you think somebody at Google Earth got a talking to a call from Augusta National being like, you guys can't do this? You can't update your Google Earth with our pictures of potentially... It would be like North Korea, how they... Yeah. You look at North Korea. Exactly right. But they're like, their missiles are missing and then they're like pointed us.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Yeah. Yeah. What is that? I was wondering when this came out, like if you could set up an alert and just highlight like an area of the map and be like when this gets updated, I want to know about it. I wonder. Because it is neat. Like you never get to know anything of what happens really at Augusta. No.
Starting point is 00:30:29 And they actually take pride and it'll be one way. Remember when they built that new, the merch place. Yep. They built this huge thing. And people were like, it wasn't here last. year and we just showed up this year and now it's here no one talked about it we didn't know about it and I think Augusta likes that they like changing things and then when people show up the next year boom that's when people know so famously they love this that to give another people
Starting point is 00:30:49 a little bit more insight into it is that they I want to say you know they've obviously made a lot of course changes over the years and one time they lengthen the course by like two or three hundred yards and just didn't tell anybody and didn't change the yardages so people like on the on the tea were like this part the first hole still says 40 yards but I know it's like 420 or 430 and they just didn't change it. I don't remember the exact year, the exact specific holes, but like everyone in their caddies knew like, no, no, the hole is just longer now. So the point being like they don't publicize it. It's like when you show up on Monday of Masters Week, it might be a new $10 million merch fucking pro shop.
Starting point is 00:31:28 And you might just be like, oh my God, where did that come from? So that's why this is sort of so intriguing. I think behind six, there's a brand new building. and then I was just looking into it and reading one article about it. There's actually 42 greens on property, which is like a ton for 18 whole course and a par three track, you know? There's just a bunch of like interesting insights that you look at and everybody obsesses with a gust, obviously, for a variety of different reasons. It's just cool to see anything, any tidbit that you can get on that. Yeah, the mystery of the ground.
Starting point is 00:31:57 It's part of the fun. Totally. Just like sort of these pictures are super interesting. I think they're horrifying, like you said. Yeah. I don't like seeing. What are black bunkers? Because they just dig them out.
Starting point is 00:32:07 I just do not like seeing Amen Corner just like this feels like an apocalyptic world. Looking at this picture right here. Yeah, in front of 12 is dead. In front of 12 and then the T-box to 12 is just like. Look at Ray's Creek's like there's like a dried up like rock bed in the middle of it. Like what is that? And then this is just going to be like perfect in like a couple months. It might be perfect now.
Starting point is 00:32:30 This is in September they're saying. That's crazy. 11th green is perfect. How would you think that that, like, how do these people know what to do? How would you think that this is... I think to college for you. I know. I know.
Starting point is 00:32:41 I know. I'm saying. Like, it's crazy. No, you're right. Like, if we walked on to that, we'd be like, we fucked out. The Masters is open. Yeah. It's like, we are in so much trouble.
Starting point is 00:32:50 We are in so much trouble. This place is brown. Oh, I fucked up, Ed. Oh, man. Oh, my. Oh, people are going to show up. I think I'm going to throw up. I think I'm going to throw up.
Starting point is 00:33:03 Don't throw up down. Like I look at that and it gives me anxiety because because look at the course behind it. What is that? Augusta Country Club. Augusta Country Club just doesn't do this. Augusta Country Club is just green and goes about their business. And then right behind the trees is just a wasteland. It's a barren wasteland.
Starting point is 00:33:24 It looks like the desert except that's Augusta. Dude. Because there's going to be a lot of people seeing these pictures for the first time. Like most people don't look at Augusta on Google Earth. know some people do, but like they're going to be looking at it and like, what is wrong with the course? What's going on? And then by April, March, April, it's going to be perfect. Yeah. And Augusta's like, no, no, people are going to look like we, they need to release a press release and tell us what, what's wrong with Augustin National. Like, no, no, this is, we've been doing
Starting point is 00:33:51 this for 80 years. This is just like what we do. So cocky to like, to let this happen in the golf course and then no, it's just going to be perfect. Like, what if the earth one year is just like, no. How about the first year they tried it? Like, no, no, no. Like, some guy comes to the meeting is like, this is what we're going to do this year. We're going to let everything die. It's going to look like fucking Frankie Borelli's going to be popping out of the ground. That guy, the first guy who said it, dead.
Starting point is 00:34:15 How many times? But then, like, the second one is like, I got a little more research on it. They're like, okay, the first guy. I bet you had to test it for 10 years. Totally. Like, you can do. For a decade on, like, one little spectrum of the course. Of grass that's like no one could ever find it because Google Earth doesn't exist.
Starting point is 00:34:30 You can go do it over there behind Berkman's fucking cabins, cabins, cabin. Go do that, your little method. Didn't work. Killed him. And then, like, somebody had the balls five years later to be like, all right, I know Tim tried this thing. You guys killed him for it, but there's some better science now. And then finally got to the point where they do what they do. And August is the greenest place in the world.
Starting point is 00:34:49 I'd love to know the salary of the guy who does this. What do you think they get paid? Like a lot? I picture him to be, like, not a human being. And he just walks out there. What's the first? When? It's either a ton or nothing.
Starting point is 00:35:02 I think like, I think like April 1st or maybe even like a week before that, the guy just walks out into the grass and just raises his hand. All the green and all like he's the fucking night king. Like he just walks to each hole. Yeah, Dr. Manhattan. I think Dr. Manhattan is the fucking guy at Augustine National, the greenskeeper. He walks on to 12 and he's just like, the birds are chirping. He's just like, let's fucking go. The commercial music starts playing.
Starting point is 00:35:29 Let's fucking go. The only reason I was able to pull that reference is because I watch Watchmen all the weekend. All weekend I watch the whole series. Good? Yeah, very good. Really one of the best seasons of a TV show I've ever seen. On the contrary, which I'm not saying that this isn't as good, but I had a much worse viewing experience watching The Outsider. Whoa, whoa, whoa, why?
Starting point is 00:35:50 Just it's scary. It's scary, but I like it. I like it too, but I couldn't like go to sleep. How many episodes in are you? Two. I couldn't like go to sleep last night. I couldn't go to sleep last night. I couldn't go to sleep last night.
Starting point is 00:35:59 I can't watch scary stuff. It'll ruin my life for a couple weeks. I can't dream. I can't sleep. Everything is just miserable. The guy in the hood is just. Oh my God. It's actually terrible because so my brother and his wife, congratulations to them.
Starting point is 00:36:12 They just actually had their second child. Fantastic. Cool. Great. Cool too. Congratulations. So I was babysitting their first porn and she made some noise in the night because they were still at the hospital. And I thought of the outsiders, I jumped out of bed.
Starting point is 00:36:26 And I'll tell you what. I was up. When she was up at 4 a.m. or wherever she made her noise. There was no shot I was going back to me. And not to go back to the whole discussion about having kids and not having kids. But there are scenes in the outsider where it solidifies my decision because there's the little girl who's just screaming on the end of her bed being like there's a man outside.
Starting point is 00:36:45 I would rather not know and have that guy kill me in my sleep. I don't need that defense. Trent just walks up to her and just throws her out the window. He'll go to him. I'm done. You can have her. You can have her. I can't have her yell in the middle of the night more.
Starting point is 00:36:57 You go to bed with your wife. Your wife's like, how's little Jenny? She's like, gone, we lost her. She saw a man outside. There was no man there, but I just let her walk into the street. You know what? I don't have time for guns. I would prefer that man be able to stomp through my house, me be sleeping, and he just sticks a knife in my jugular as opposed to having a little girl being like, there's a man outside.
Starting point is 00:37:16 But you like dogs and pets and dogs like bark at ghosts all the time. What? Oh, yeah. You never seen a dog just barking at like a darkness in like the corner. No, that's true. Dogs bark at spirits and ghosts. But I can do that are different. Dogs and kids are different.
Starting point is 00:37:31 I can leave the dog at the apartment or the house and it's fine. I will say outsiders is doing a really good job of just being scary. Yeah. It's scary through and it's going to get to a point where we're going to start to find more things out and it's going to become maybe more scary but a little bit less because you know more about it. But right now. There's a couple storylines of people that you don't really know like how they kind of mix in. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:49 You know? And like it's just scary. And the guy in the hood is maybe the scariest creature ever created in a TV show. It's a really interesting show. Jason Bateman is in an HBO. He directs it. Yeah, he does. I'll say this, Trentetti.
Starting point is 00:38:01 It is significantly more scary, like, being scared of being killed than actually just being killed. Yes. Right. I don't like. Like we talked about even, like, when we were in the private jet and we thought we were all going to die, was like, I would rather just die, like, crash immediately on takeoff. Then if you get up for a while and then it, like, things start to go south and you have a several minute crash where you know you're going to crash. Yep. That sucks.
Starting point is 00:38:25 Yeah. Just kill me right away. Thinking you might like, I mean, being in the dark, one of my biggest peers is just like people. Like if you're in the woods, like psychopaths, we go to the woods and just kill people. Imagine you're a bad guy, you like sneak in to try to kill somebody and you stumble upon lurch. How unlucky that is. You just want like a weak, like little fucking idiot humor to kill you. Like you ever see the video of Dan Balsarian?
Starting point is 00:38:47 He has like a loaded gun in every single room in his house. It's like, imagine you're just like a fucking drunk idiot that stumbled into that guy's house. No matter which room you went. He's just, boom, just putting bullets in you. Just. I've always laughed at that scenario. You know, I'm going to rob this guy's house. Turns out this guy's got a loaded gun in every single corner of his house.
Starting point is 00:39:10 I think when I wake up at three or four in the middle of the night, I'm afraid of the dark. Like that's, I'm normally, I'm not. But when I wake up randomly in the middle of the night, I'm like, I'm terrified that it's just dark. You ever been deep, deep into the woods? No. That's where I get like. Well, that's, I'm not. I don't, maybe it's because of the...
Starting point is 00:39:27 Comforting during the day, but at night sometimes, I'll tell you what, you hear a little branch crack over there? My thing, that doesn't scare me as much as much as, like, a branch cracking. Yeah. And you're like, what made that thing crack at that time? I've seen the Blair Witch Project. I know what goes on out there. It's not good.
Starting point is 00:39:43 If you want to hear a story of my grandfather flying, I can tell you a story that would scare the be jeezish out of you. Believe it or not, he was. What time frame? This was probably back in the 60s. And so he flies. He's with his buddy in their plane, right? Up in the bush, up in Canada.
Starting point is 00:40:00 Something's wrong with the plane that they need to take it down and everybody's looking to be like I'm a psychopath. But anyways. These are by far my favorite story. So they need to land the plane. Because I'm pretty sure they're all made up. Something, I'm going to give you his book. Something is making him need to land the plane.
Starting point is 00:40:19 And he's with his buddy. So they take it down, they find his pond. And what he does at this time, little helio, He drops rocks out of the plane window to see that it's deep enough so he can land on floats. Does this, finds a pond that he can lands, pulls the plane up to the beach. They can't take off that night. They're going to figure it out the next morning. Bring the tent on, you know, kind of hunker down for the night, put a tent up.
Starting point is 00:40:44 They hear some noises out in the distance. And they're in the middle of nowhere in this tent. Right. terrifying. Hearing noises, don't know what's going on. Then they kind of start to hear voices, but then they dissipate. they're in the tent, just he and his buddy, they're sitting back to back because they're absolutely panicked. Yeah. They hear all noises throughout the night.
Starting point is 00:41:07 They don't go to bed. They can't do anything. They're like paralyzed inside their tent, but absolutely panicked. They get out the next morning. There's tracks all the way around their tent in a circle. And then the tracks go off into like, you know, I don't know, the brush where you can't leave tracks anymore. Right. Got the plane got the hell out of there.
Starting point is 00:41:28 Absolutely. One of the scariest nights of his life, he said. Foot tracks? Footsteps around his tent and like multiple around the tent in a circle. Human footsteps. Who told you his story? My grandfather. Yeah, sounds about right.
Starting point is 00:41:39 That's like the Blair Witch. That's the scary. There's little stick piles outside the tent. Oh. Your grandfather was a drug addict. You take that back. I will say in the middle of that story, I didn't want to interrupt it. You had an A plus pause.
Starting point is 00:41:54 Yeah, you did. To the point where people who are listening are definitely going to, look down at their phone and be like all right it's still going did i press pause i will say the way you guys look at me it's tough to tell a story because you're looking at me with not like oh my god what's he going to say next it's more of a look of like this guy's lying through his teeth well it's getting to the point where it's like your grandfather built the fucking empire state building with his bare hand yeah he's a legend i i hope they're all true i'm gonna tweet out i'm gonna post a picture of my grandfather please yeah you should you should legendary
Starting point is 00:42:28 be sick. That would be sick. Let me ask you this. So they throw the rocks out of the plane. Yeah. And see how deep the water is? Yeah, based on the splash. That's nuts.
Starting point is 00:42:38 But wasn't it nighttime you said when they landed? No, it was like dusk. Oh, it was. Yeah, so they weren't going to take off that. And how many rocks, they just keep a bunch of rocks in the plane in case this happens? Yeah. Old bush pilots. That's amazing.
Starting point is 00:42:52 What if you just, you know, I'd be like. So they drop it into the water, they see the splash, and then they go back to that spot. where they dropped it. Exactly. Well, then they're like testing it out. If you keep going, it may be deeper where you keep going. Could be, right? I mean.
Starting point is 00:43:04 Maybe you drop another one there and see if it's deeper. Yeah, you got to drop a couple, I guess. But yeah, that was a strategy. Can you hear it based on the kerplunk maybe how deep it is too? You know? Could. Because like, if something is a certain amount of feet deep, isn't that just going to be how big the splash is no matter what? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:25 Well, then you're, I mean, as long as the clearance. The splash should be based off the height that you drop the rock off of not the depth of the water, right? I mean, I wouldn't have no idea. I'm just trying to learn. Think about the signs behind that, right? I mean, there has to be an answer. No, there has to be. Like, I guess that if it's two inches deep, fine.
Starting point is 00:43:45 You only need probably, like, I would say with a float plane, you probably only need two or three feet of water. Someone answer that question for me. So that makes sense. So, like, you're only looking for a minimal, like, you don't need much water clearance, but I would agree. with you. Does the height? Height would definitely affect the splash. I wonder how high are they out the ground when they're dropping?
Starting point is 00:44:03 But at some point, then you're getting to max speed, whatever that 9.8 meters a second is, whatever that means. Acceleration, that's acceleration. Yeah, but acceleration. Okay. Then I would say the splash would remain consistent regardless once you get to that height. Right. I think we should get off this topic. No, I think I, no, the splash is going to get higher based on the speed that something's coming in and how high it drops.
Starting point is 00:44:27 For example, if you have a rock that's the size of these rocks, these guys are dropping, but it's like a fucking meteorite from space. It's going to create a crater in the ground versus your grandfather dropping one is just going to splash in the water. That's because there's a difference in those speeds coming in. Correct. One comes from fucking millions of light years away and then just wham! Hits the earth. Another one. We're due for one of those.
Starting point is 00:44:46 Just comes from trappy. Dropper. Trapper. Trapper. We are due for one of those. With Robin Hood, you can invest in stocks, options, and ETS right from your, phone.

Starting point is 00:46:41 I mean, just for the... The most, just for the theatrics and just the most money is going to come in on him if he's the favorite. And... It probably is going to anyway, but I think it would be much more if they just make him the favorite. Why wouldn't you? And you get headlines. Tiger Woods, the favorite entering, like, why would you do you? not do that third favor behind rom john that crazy person john rom he has one here before he got
Starting point is 00:47:03 his first pjutor win here i believe but still but i mean those numbers you just listed off tiger woods is one here a bunch of times 1999 2003 2005 2006 2007 2008 and 2013 what a stretch 2005 to 2008 he just won it every year it's pretty good um jordan speath 50 to one i said he would win this tournament months ago i don't know why i said that jordan spieth was going to win the former's insurance open And that was before, you know, I was even thinking about who else would be in it. You know, Tiger Woods, John Rahm, all these other guys that are absolutely going to smoke Jordan Speath. But I'm sticking by it. 50 to one odds, I'll put some money on that.
Starting point is 00:47:38 Yeah, Peter sent us up from the gallery. And all it said was just want to remind Frankie to bet on Speed this week. Oh, I will be. And then also I have this guy here. We talked about him last year around the majors. This guy Mike McClure. He does like that 10,000 simulation thing. I feel like he always comes up around this time of the year because we're always –
Starting point is 00:47:56 Like when Tiger's playing, I always want to see what the odds are that he's going to win, all these things. He has a couple of major surprises, apparently, for this week. I'm not going to be able to get to the third one because I'm not applying for his simulation thing. So I'm going to read the free stuff. You know? You have to subscribe or something. He gives you a couple little tidbits, and he's like, oh, subscribe. And I'm just too lazy to do that.
Starting point is 00:48:14 Okay. But he does say that Tiger, so he's guessed the last two out of three major champions correctly. Wow. Pretty fucking solid. And he has Tiger stumbling this week and barely cracking the tournament. top 10, which is not that great. And then he has Tony Fino at the one shot to make a strong run at the title.
Starting point is 00:48:33 Wow. So I don't know who ends up. He says the model also has two other golfers with odds of 22 to 1 who will make a strong run at the title. So he's expecting three underdogs to make a run. Dude, I'm such a bad gambler that I'll take that as fact. Like now I'm just going to put a bunch of money on Tommy. So now Tony's 22 to 1.
Starting point is 00:48:50 And then these other odds have like Patrick Reed at 33 to 1, Gary Willen a 33 to 1. Like these may be the guys he's talking about. So you're telling me, this guy picked Gary Woodland and Shane Lowry to win the majors last year? Yes. That would be fucking. So his model. His model predicted Gary Woodland's first career major championship at the U.S. Open, even though he wasn't the favorite entering the weekend. The result, Woodland held off a late charge from Brooks.
Starting point is 00:49:14 Kepka won by three strokes. The model also called Kepka's historic victory at 2019 PGA championship, predicting he'd hold his lead in the home stretch. But did he pick? When did he make these predictions? Did he make these predictions at the beginning of the week? Those little blurbs there make it sound like he predicted that like Gary Woodland would hold on on the weekend to win. Well, no shit. Well, I think they're like they're writing all sexy being like, oh, and like this is what happened.
Starting point is 00:49:40 Like it was like a battle to the end and like his model knew it. Like it never wavered. The model in all, the advanced computer model has nailed a whopping six majors entering the weekend. Entering the weekend. Yeah, I don't know what that just managed. I just kept reading there. So you're telling me Friday night he does this little simulation. Probably.
Starting point is 00:50:01 And he picks the winner. And he's gotten six out of how many. I wonder how many that's out of. I don't know. You might have to subscribe for that type of information. Yeah. So he doesn't like Tiger to win this week. What a moron.
Starting point is 00:50:12 Yeah. Idiot. Tiger Woods is one here, like I said, eight times professionally. He grew up playing here. He loves his fucking place more than anything. Last couple times we've seen him out, President's Cup, he went three, oh, no,
Starting point is 00:50:23 and captain the team, you might have heard of it. The United States team defeated, international team in Melbourne, Australia. We were there. Fist pump. Very cool thing. He was excited. Tiger Woods nearly won the Hero World Challenge. He had the lead on the back nine on Sunday. He hosted the tournament, very busy week. Ended up coming up just short.
Starting point is 00:50:37 And the tournament before that, the Zoso Championship, which is the only official start of the 2019-2020 season, he won. He's actually one-for-one on start so far this season. And he's playing at Torrey Pines. So I, you know, I like Tiger Woods. Chances this week. Oh, no way. And I like Tiger Woods a lot.
Starting point is 00:50:56 I don't know about this fucking LaFleur or whatever. You said that too. I like, I like Tiger Woods. I don't care what you say. I don't care what your metric says. I like Tiger Woods. I think my three bets for the week are going to be Tiger Woods. Tony Fee now, Jordan Spee.
Starting point is 00:51:10 I think you have. You're putting the most on Speed, though. Yes. I think you have like one of the favorites. You have a long shot in 22 to 1. Then you have a hope and a prayer at Jordan's speed that 50 to 1. I love taking Speed to it like a top 10, because there's still a ton of value there. What kind of odds do you think you get there?
Starting point is 00:51:26 Probably two to one or no I'd probably say five to one wow just for a top 10 Yeah I would probably say about that I like that bet too Rory's always dumb enough like me you'll put enough for his favorite to cover your loss of a win Roy's always a good top 10 bet too because usually he sneaks in there at some point Yeah even if he has a dog shit first part of the tournament back doors top 10's like a oh my god He's actually a great after his blow brown to take him for a top 10 yeah good call man I'm pumped for this week I'm going to have that PJ tour live cranking. We're going to have, they're going to be on the cliffs over there in San Diego.
Starting point is 00:52:01 I've never been to that area in the country, by the way. I've never been to Southern California. Have any of you guys ever been to Southern California? No. Isn't that crazy? None of us ever been to San Diego. Not you alert. Not really.
Starting point is 00:52:11 Only time I've ever been to California was when we went for Pebble Beach. Me too. I was in L.A. quickly, but that's it. Oh, here we go. Well, no, I played Trump National out there. L.A. Trump course. It counts. It's America great again.
Starting point is 00:52:25 Build that wall. Did you see the new curb? Did you guys see the new curb? No. So funny. I didn't even know it was. With a bag of the hat. So funny.
Starting point is 00:52:33 So funny. So good. You know, I like, so curb obviously everyone loves. It's like almost like the office, but it's like if you say it, you think you're cool to like curb. Like curb is fucking fantastic. And the old curb, it had a storyline with like the wife, the ex-wife and like the whole thing, right? And like, you know, and Leon and like you just had a storyline. And then last season I thought with Curb, every single season.
Starting point is 00:52:56 was a punchline. Like, it just went away from, like, it had a little bit of a storyline, but it was just like, oh, this scene he can't get through the door. The next scene, he spilled something on his pants. The next scene he hates to work.
Starting point is 00:53:06 It was like hyper. Yeah. But this episode, I thought was great. Like, it still had a little bit of that. It was jumping around. Early on,
Starting point is 00:53:12 it was too fast for me, but then it slowed down. It was really good. All I need is, like, those party scenes, and even like the Make America Great a hat again, was so funny. So basically this guy.
Starting point is 00:53:21 Only Larry David can do something like that. In short, I'm agreeing with you. I didn't have seen it, but the reason I'm looking like that is because partially the reason you like the show as much is because that's how you live your life. You are every situation you're in, I feel like you get caught in some sort of serious Larry David too. It's so good too because in short basically he, you know, his thing is the big goodbye. So he kind of shunned somebody all night long, but then gives them this big goodbye. So they feel like he really likes that person or whatever.
Starting point is 00:53:49 The guy calls him on the big goodbye, tells him he needs to go with lunch with him. Larry does not want to go to lunch with this person at all. So he goes to this very diverse restaurant and just pulls out the Make America Great again here. Then the guy does not want to have lunch. Everyone's looking at them. It's really good. It's brilliant. It's a good move.
Starting point is 00:54:09 Andrew Landry gets a second PGA tour win, winning the American Express this past weekend. Just to kind of show what we talk about here a lot on this show, we talk all the time about the massive dispersion you might have round to round. how you might play horrible golf, then great golf. He might shoot 37 and then 55. Whatever it is. Andrew Landry had missed seven of his last eight cuts. And then he just wins on the PGA tour.
Starting point is 00:54:34 He just goes out there and he wins. He almost tried to blow it on the whole back. Try to blow it on the whole back. That's why he built yourself such a lead. A couple bogies and all that. And then he played very clutch. End up getting a couple stroke win. Birded the 72nd hole.
Starting point is 00:54:48 They have that 17th hole that's Island Green. That's longer than the actual Island Green at T. B.C. Sawgrass. So there's some nervy shots down the stretch, but he got it done. And again, that just goes to show you, you can beat 150 of the best players in the world after your last eight starts. You miss seven of those cuts. So you just never know in golf. He did have a quote where he said, you look at guys like Tiger Woods, they're playing a limited schedule for a reason. Didn't love that. He said Tiger Woods isn't going to show up at the RBC Heritage because that golf course does not fit him. Every golf course fits him is Tiger Woods. He doesn't play the RBC Heritage because it's the week after the
Starting point is 00:55:21 masters and obviously tiger woods has way bigger things to do he's got to focus on the masters he's not going to go play the rbc heritage his point was clearly that like rather than playing everywhere and hoping that you just kind of throw shoot against the wall and that it sticks that like you can actually focus bear down on the courses that suit you more that's what kevin kisner does he doesn't like poeographs for example so like he tries to play as few tournaments as you can't with that and and so he makes a decent point with that i just didn't like when he said tiger woods is going to show up the rbc heritage because that golf course does not fit him again every golf course fits him. Congratulations to Andrew Landry, second PGA tour win, and it's cool to see somebody
Starting point is 00:55:57 come from not playing great golf, and boom, all of a sudden they win on tour. I feel you see that a pretty good amount. I also saw, what did I see? See Wu Kim. I don't know why I was thinking about this. I think he shot like an 87 and then withdrew. Is he hurt? Or he's just like, I'm out of here? You know, it's always tough to tell with those. It's always a blind. Yeah, true. Yeah, he literally on Thursday. He shot 87. His card's incredible. He says par bogey, par quad, par, par, par, par, par, par, par, par, then he goes, good stretch here.
Starting point is 00:56:31 Par birdie, par par par par, triple, par. He got his money's worth on those triples and doubles. Yeah, no, he really did. And then withdrew, so I just thought that was interesting. Lee Westwood. You got to love Lee Westwood if you don't. It's probably a U.S.U. Lee Westwood wins his 25th European Tour title for $1.16 million. He's won in four different decades. Brought tears out, actually, when they were talking to him about it afterwards. Just an all-time great guy.
Starting point is 00:56:58 I feel like Lee Westwood, just very well liked. He's been on a million. He's been on 10 different European Rider Cup teams and won almost all of them because the European, in our lifetime, the Europeans have just killed the Americans in the Riter Cup, which fucking sucks. He's now the 29th ranked player in the world at I think he's 46 years old. now the 29th ranked player in the world. He said, I cannot believe I'm that old.
Starting point is 00:57:20 His first one came in the 1996 Volvo Scandinavian Masters. It's getting harder. It's just nice to come out and keep proving that you've still got it. I like Lee Westwood, too, but it's always going to be like, well, you know, never want to make it. No. There it is. Just so close, so many times. I like Lee Westwood.
Starting point is 00:57:39 He just won a million bucks. That's great. But it's always going to be that thing. it can still happen It's crazy to have that kind of success And I'm sure that still kills him This is what I'm saying It's like he has been so successful
Starting point is 00:57:52 They think you'd sneak in One or two maybe And it just just hasn't happened Why? It's crazy to think too Like Bubba Watson has a couple of majors Yeah Like Webb Simpson has a US open
Starting point is 00:58:02 Right That boring I'm not going to say anything else And Lee Westwood Decorated as it can be Just doesn't have one Like Patrick Harrington has
Starting point is 00:58:12 Three major championships Lee Westwood. His run was so fun. I love Padreckton's run. The best part of that run is my mom and my aunt absolutely love Padra Cairington. They love the Irish accent. They're just like, I just love when he plays well. And then he had that stretch where it was just incredible.
Starting point is 00:58:26 Is that right? Yes. I like that they love him. It's very funny. If you go on any like notable golfers Wikipedia page, they always have results in major championships. And they just list like in a in a grid, all of their starts in major championships. And they put in yellow anything that's a top 10. And Lee was...
Starting point is 00:58:44 There's so much yellow on your screen. There's so much yellow. He's got a T6, a T7, a T10, a T5, a fourth, a third, a T3, a T3, a T3, a T3, a T3, a T3, a T3, a T3, a T8, a seventh, a T2, and a T4. Think about how close he has been in that. It's a heartbreak. It's a stroke or two each round. Yeah. Just this guy just built like a house, just this big old heroic looking guy, just can't quite get over
Starting point is 00:59:12 the edge and win one. Just a broad shoulder jolly, nice fucking British chap. Also, too, like people would see Westwood on the leaderboard and, like, think it's Woods for a second and then like notice like, ah, shit. Like, you know, he's just always lived his life. Like, because I know I've done that.
Starting point is 00:59:27 We're like, you just glimpsed the TV on like a Thursday. Oh, like, uh. Westwood. He's been up there a lot. He's just not going to get it done. Yeah. It could still happen. He's 46, though.
Starting point is 00:59:37 He was, I mean, remember he was at the British Open this year. He was right in the mix there. He's got like his new girlfriend on his. bag and all that. Also rocks a lot. I think he rocks Peter Malargear, which I really like. So Lee Westwood, a very cool thing to see that he got yet another win is 25th.
Starting point is 00:59:51 I think he's like seventh or eighth or ninth or something like that. His career earnings have to be just. Oh, mammoth. Yeah, I'll look that up quickly. Yeah, so he's doing fine. Yeah. What do you think his career earnings are? Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:00:02 For reference point, I think Kevin Kisner's at like $20 million. I'm going to put Lee Westwood at like $47 million. I'm going to take the over on that. I think he's going to be like. I'm trying to pull it up right now. I'm just not very good. Our internet too has been really, really bad. I don't think you'll ever get to that.
Starting point is 01:00:22 Yeah, I might. I think you will. I might not. Achievement. I'm going to say 50. I will say the PJ Tour website is a little hard to navigate. You really need to like. This cannot be right.
Starting point is 01:00:31 110. Career earnings on the PJ Tour. This just can't be right. I want to know what. I'm so surprised at what this number. He's won everywhere else. up the major. So 19 million.
Starting point is 01:00:43 What? You know what? He's won 25 European tour event. So that's got to be a huge part of it. Yeah, that must be one. Yeah. Because he plays a lot of Europe or Euro tour. So Kisner's made more money than him.
Starting point is 01:00:54 On the actual PGA tour. No way. Unlike all of the world tours. He's got to be. He just won $1.1 million. Yeah. That doesn't count. He's got two PJ tour victories.
Starting point is 01:01:03 He's got 40. He's got 40 international victories. What a guy? Math guy. You converted it? You just type it in. You type it. You type this.
Starting point is 01:01:11 US to Euro. I didn't do it in my head. Come on. I rely completely on the internet. I'm trying to figure out what is his career European tour earnings. Oh, come on. It's harder to find than you'd think. You know what we can do.

Starting point is 01:03:15 Pretty good. He is getting a little bit of an issue happening where he's finishing second all the time. A couple runner-up finishes last year, a T2, a couple strokes back this week over in Abu Dhabi. But Matthew Fitzpatrick playing great golf. He will win a European tour event this year, I believe, if not multiple. He's playing that good of golf really ever since we started hanging out with him. So you're welcome, Matthew Fitzpatrick. Tiger Woods Legion fans are standing.
Starting point is 01:03:41 The stands are not happy with Foreplay. I just this one guy has tweeted, he responded to Tiger Woods Legion, aka Us, tweeted like that, you know, thanks to the Fourplay Boys and tweeted out our little clips in the podcast. We talked about the whole saga, very funny stuff. And this guy just responded to it, forced to publicly apologize.
Starting point is 01:04:02 LMFAO, all caps. Embarrassing. You were wrong. Frankie is just screenshoting the DM. Oh my God. you're so famous and cool. You couldn't just accept and apologize. He would feel, how would you feel if you were in Legion's shoes?
Starting point is 01:04:14 Pathetic. I thought you guys were better than that. And then he went on to say, yeah, let's name the podcast. Frankie Forrest to probably apologize, even though they were wrong and discredit the best Tiger account. What a joke. He was not forced. He had to apologize, which is actually being forced to apologize anyway because they were wrong. I'd take them seriously if my reputation was on the line.
Starting point is 01:04:32 This guy is so mad. How would you feel if you were in Legion's shoes? If you write that When you type that out You're not like All right I'm not sending this Something something Oh boy
Starting point is 01:04:42 The internet's got away from me Yeah I gotta get some fresh air And just take a few deep breaths What you feel if you're in Legion's shoes What a crazy thing to say Listen man I'm not trying to act
Starting point is 01:04:53 Famous and cool I just thought it was insane That the guy DMed all of us Going crazy on Twitter Instagram Any form of social media being Like you have to apologize My integrity's on the line
Starting point is 01:05:04 Because you guys joked about One of my tweets Correct. Like, that was our whole point was that it's not that serious. Nobody is literally looking at what we say on this podcast and we're joking about a Tiger Woods fan account that we get into it with and being like,
Starting point is 01:05:18 you know what? That account has no credibility because Frankie Borelli and the other guys canceled it. No chance. That's just we're not, we're actually discrediting ourselves. We're not that. We have no influence on that. We're not to be taking that seriously.
Starting point is 01:05:29 The whole thing was funny. We're just joking around. Everybody settled down. Last thing I got on the headlines is no, we're not going to the waste management. we're just not going to be there. We get asked a lot. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:39 We get asked that all the time. If you're wondering if we're going to be there, the answer is no. We will not be there. Frank and I will be in Miami for Super Bowl week all week doing radio. And none of us are going to be at the waste management. So if you're asking. We've been for, and it's fantastic. If you are thinking about going, you should go.
Starting point is 01:05:57 Trent Daddy and I went for the first time two years ago. Let me tell you, to this day, I would say that that Saturday that we had on the 16th hole of the waste management was probably the most. most fun I've ever had at a sporting event. It's definitely up there. Top two or three, for sure. It was awesome. If you go, you got to do it right. And the only way to do it right, you got to get up, you got to get there
Starting point is 01:06:17 fucking early, and you got to get in the bleachers at the 16th hole at the waste management because it's the most fun. We did the day before we got there. We had like Skybox, you know, tickets, corporate tickets on 16, but we were like in the skybox and we were just chit-chat. It was fun. It was a cool scene. Don't get me wrong.
Starting point is 01:06:33 You're getting free cocktails. You know, the crowd. You can hear the crowd and all that. Being in the bleachers, getting there. We got there at like 515, Trent Daddy got there. Legit, like, 515. Gates open at 7. Everybody runs like a mile.
Starting point is 01:06:46 Literally a mile. Way further than you think it's going to be. A mile is way longer than you remember from back in, like, high school. Yeah. You're going to. It's going to hurt. It's going to hurt, but it's going to be worth it. It's going to hurt, but you can do it.
Starting point is 01:06:56 You can really do it. And then you run there right at 7 when they open the gates. You get there. You snag your seats. And then once you're in, it's like its own little stadium. Once you're in, you're in for the whole day. They got pissers. Porter potties, beer, food, concessions, all that's there once you're in.
Starting point is 01:07:12 So best way to do it. Get there really early. Make sure you're there before, I would say, 6 a.m. You stand in line for an hour. Everybody's very excited. You sing the national anthem probably. Did you guys do a shared run in or did you guys ditch each other? So we did it.
Starting point is 01:07:24 We wanted to document people running. So Riggs ran and I stayed back and I videoed the chaos. So we kind of split duties. But he got there and he saved a couple of seats. This whole thing in the sun? Any shade? You're going to bake a little bit. You can't go.
Starting point is 01:07:39 I mean, a little bit. If you're out there for... No, you get one of those umbrella hats. You know, that's not the way out? No, because then nobody can see behind you. Oh, good point. Yeah, but at that point, it's all about my safety. If I get in front of you, if I get in front of you, it's just your fault.
Starting point is 01:07:53 I'm wearing that hat. You're not a desert dweller. No. You got to see me when I go to Vegas with, like, Dave. And, I mean, there's been videos in me. I dropped the grapes. You just couldn't hold on to those goddamn grapes. I mean, that was a dead person.
Starting point is 01:08:06 You were a dead person. You were. You were. That's as close as you've been to death. How about when we talked about, we put out that clip of me being a dead person last week on social media. My dad DMed that to my girlfriend. I was like, ha-ha. There was like anyone into, anyone into me is just into dead people.
Starting point is 01:08:21 And she's like, I think your dad just slid in my DM's number one, number two. Number two. Is this like about, is this like a dig at me? I was like, yeah. Oh, that came full circle with my tweet. John Smoltz. John Smoltz over the weekend. Oh, is like the S.
Starting point is 01:08:36 He used the standalone putter. Did you see the clip lurch? Yes. It's not the SK7 though. Some guy reached out to us. It's some other part. But it's the same thing. But it's that's 7K.
Starting point is 01:08:45 It's one of those. He drained the putt. Dude, it looks so legitimate. He looked like a caddy walking around his player. You know when you stand over the ball and the caddy kind of like surveys the green is like, no, I think it's a little bit more. You just do that but for your putter. Your putter stands there and then you survey the green.
Starting point is 01:09:01 That putter standing there will get a laugh out of me 100 times out of order. It's just sitting there. So I got my dad for his birthday. So he has a spin doctor since 1980s, whenever the hell of the thing came out, whatever. And he said that he actually lost it. And like he needed a new one. So I got him a brand new spin doctor.
Starting point is 01:09:22 I don't even think they have a website anyway. I have to get on Amazon. And it came with a 56 and a 60 degree. He's now has two spin doctors with different types of inserts. So like you can insert like the type of spin you want on the blade. Come on.
