Fore Play - Trent The Corn Protector

Episode Date: October 27, 2020

A fun history of Trent the security guard spawns from a conversation about how much we appreciate Barstool. We also get into Bryson carrying the ball 400+ yards, the Fore Man Scramble potentially having its next opponent, Cantlay prevailing in California, Hoodie Rory, Bermuda, golf course pet peeves, and MUCH more!You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.

Hey, Foreplay listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcast, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. I just would like to remind everyone, Foreplay, Barclays, we've been going. Marshall Sports saved my life. Thank you. Long with Iowa. Long with Iowa football. That's correct.

But even before that kick, I'm talking 2013, 2014, Barstall Sports saved my fucking. life. I don't even, in an alternate universe, I honestly don't even know what I'm doing if Dave Fortnight doesn't read that email and is like, hey, we kind of like you, blah, blah, blah, and it turns into the job. I honestly, honestly, do not know what I'm doing right now. Well, you're like protecting the entrance to like the corn factory or whatever, whatever you were doing over there. That's seriously, that's what I'm doing. Hold on. No, the reason that I brought that up is exactly for what, we've been doing a lot of historical stuff the last few weeks.

We've been telling stories. And I do think, like, we probably have a decent amount of listeners that found us through golf, not necessarily through Barstool, and don't maybe know all the kids. Like, we are in no way existing or doing any of this, if it weren't for Barstool, for Dave, for, like, the, like, if he didn't just invent this whole new idea of media and, like, just covering it in the way that Barstool Sports has covered the, world for the last 17 years, like Trent said, none of us know each other. We're definitely not doing anything nearly as cool as this. And so I just, when I do say and start the show with four play

presented by Barstville Sports, that ain't like a token line. That's like we, it's very important to remind folks, like Trent said, like Barcelona saved our lives. The two things here, Dave Portnoy is my lord and savior. And the second thing is that you, um, you have like your laptop on your lap or something. And every time you speak, it's doing a little bit of a rustling noise. And I'm going to jump out of my window or smash my laptop. So one of the two are not good options for me. The second, the third thing here is that I'm going to go to the desk. I'm going to go to okay. Okay. The third thing, the third thing here, even though I said one of two things, the third thing that I'm going to say is that I don't know why we're talking about this as if

we got yelled at or something. That's making me nervous. I'm going to now go back and listen to every single word that Dave said because I don't think we came up at all in this. But yeah, it is good, it's a good reminder to everyone that like we do come from this hierarchy of content and bosses of Eric and Ardini, Dave Portnoy and they they bestow this incredible life upon us. And also we work at a place where you get to just do what you want. And if you do it good and do it well, you can be successful. It's like, um, there's no, the meritocracy. Yeah. And there's no barricades to like go through and there's no like bullshit and there's no like politics. Like you don't have to look a certain way.

way you don't have to like you don't have to like talk a certain way you don't like I feel like in these other stiffy fucking media companies you have to have a certain voice and a certain look and a certain attitude and a certain resume and a college degree from a certain place like i mean i was working at a pizza shop like and then like dave's just like you want to be my right-hand man and like that like dude dave sold the company he sat on the day point of show for like $12 million. And then I was just his like right hand man running around with a camera and going around the country to all these events up.

And now he's worth over $100 million four years later. That skyrocket of a ship and like being on that trajectory with him and watching him like being from where he was like we would like get noticed a little bit on the street. And like being able to like now see and look back in just four years, I feel like I've known for 30 years now. Like holy sure. Remember back when we used to like just go into. bars and people be like, well, out, Prez. And now you have to have like, you have to shut the place

down to walk in. It's crazy. Dude, I heard he, I think he said it in one of his videos. Maybe it was a Peter review where he said he had to have security at the Penn Casino. He like had two guys walking him through the casino because he, dude, we were in L.A. and there was just like, there were people taking pictures. He has like an account that just takes pictures of him wherever he goes, dates, like, it's like a paparazzi. Like, I think there was a picture of me with my soft body laying out at the pool. Dude, Dude, speaking of my soft...

If you're just getting caught in the side image where you're like looking weird or doing something. Bro, speaking of my soft body, I was driving home last night from upstate and I laughed. I almost crashed the car. I was laughing so hard. Because I'm sitting there and I'm in the car

with like my family and stuff and I'm like thinking, I'm like, I wanted to change into out of this like sweater I was wearing. We did a whole thing like outdoors folly. I was wearing like a sweater. Right? Like I was apple picking and shit.

I don't want to. talk about it. And I was apple picking. And I'm like, I need to get out of this thing. But then I started laughing to myself because I said it with my body frame, like usually it's okay for a man to take off his shirt in public because you just look like a man. Like it wouldn't startle people. It's like, oh, like that's just like a dude with like pecks and like a hard body. Right. I'm not saying it's not okay for women to take the shirt. I'm just saying it's like if you, like no one would think twice in this culture, right? And like Trent's laughing because I'm putting myself in a circle. So Jesus, just stop. It's crazy. It's a shovel down for two. So it's crazy.

but I'm sitting here saying you somehow turned it into like a gender thing for no reason on your own story you're like telling this own story that's getting you into your own PC trouble right now well no I mean I can't get trouble so now I'm like thinking of myself

I have too soft of a body to take this shirt off like if I take my shirt off I almost have to do that like covering of the of the tits thing you know like when someone looks into the mirror into the window and they see me with the shirt off i'm so soft and delicate with lumps like on my boobs and stuff yeah like i have to actually cover up and like look around and be like hold on let me get my t-shirt and like hide underneath the window meanwhile if like a fucking jack dude took it off it's like oh yeah that guy's just coming back from the beach like who gives a fuck that guy's like

wearing like a shell necklace and a backwards out he looks great when i i get the cops called on me when I take my shirt off in the car. So that was something I was going through with my soft body. Well, the reason I brought it up is we had three flights yesterday, Jake and myself all over the country. We got to Bermuda. The Bermuda Championship this week. We'll get into that. We'll get into the whole debacle of getting into Bermuda, which was quite the process. But listening to a bunch of these shows, which if you haven't listened, Dave and Eddie, and Eddie essentially interviews Dave about Arsenal and what's going on in the wall.

world. They get into some deep history stuff. They get into some current events. It's very, very good. And so I was on the plane listening to those. And it very much made me think about, you know, like when we get into a fight with old man golf media, like we're representing barstool sports. We're representing Dave and Erica and everybody else. When we walk the range at the PJ Championship with US Open a wing foot and we're wearing, you know, hoodies that say barstle golf, like, we are representing what he's been building for 17 years. And so it's just, I thought, is important to sort of reflect on that to talk about how we're not just some rogue golf organization that's like we represent Barstle. It's Barstle's first.

Dave and Erica first. Like Frankie said, our Lord and Savior, like they are fucking our heroes. And so it's important to remind people of that. Also our heroes are Jake Bats and Brendan Jones. So thank you guys for producing our show. I agree with everything you're saying, but it also still kind of sounds like you're popping popcorn. I don't know what's going on with your mic. I don't know what's going on.

I don't know. I know you're sitting at a desk now, but it still sounds like you're making popcorn a little bit. I hear of trying to, Trent, yeah, go ahead. I just got rid of my AirPods.

Does that help? I think that did help, yes. Way better. Trent, you were, you know, try to use technology that's going to help and it hurts.

It does. What's up, Lurch? Where were you being secure? I thought it was in a bar, not just like a corn factory. No, it was a place called ADM, which was, it's a corn factory. It's a place where they go and they process corn.

They make fructose corn syrup. They make every corn product you can imagine. I know it's a little on the nose that I'm from Iowa and I'm supposed to be the corn guy, run around in a corn outfit in my room. I thought it was a local pub this whole time. It was legit a corn factory. No, I spent 100% of my time at the corn factory dealing with semi-truck drivers exclusively, like guys who've been on the road for like 20 hours.

So it was, it was not a bar where brawls were breaking out or anything like that. It was a pretty simple job. What were you protecting the corn factory from? So it wasn't that I was necessarily protecting the corn factory from something. I was just like the first line of defense where the guys would sign in and we would weigh their trucks and then we'd weigh them on the way out. So security guard has this connotation where like I'm going to fight someone if they do something wrong. but really I was the guy who signed them in when they first came in and signed them out when they left. Did you have a gun?

No. How about a taser? No. Did you have any sort of security like baton? Baton. Baton. Did you have a light? Did you have a flashlight?

I had nothing. Wow. I've got a lot of security guard in the world. We can't see. What if somebody attacks you with night goggles? I worked there for a couple years and nothing ever happened. It was a pretty low risk area. Like semi-truck.

drivers are mostly, like I said, they're on the road for 20 hours straight. They're, they're tired when they get there. They're not trying to start a fight with me behind the desk. So it was pretty simple in that aspect. This wasn't like the Palestinian-Israeli border. This was like, right. This is a look, okay, all right. You were inside a building or were you inside like a little hut like within a road, like on a road? It's a pretty good size building. There were a couple locations at that, that corn plate where I would be a security guard, but, and a couple of them were really small. but the one that I mostly was at

was a pretty, a decent size building slash guard check. It had a bathroom in it. How'd you get into that job? How did I get into that job? So I was going to school at the same time and I needed a job that had strange hours. Like I was looking for something that wasn't a nine to five job.

And a buddy of mine actually was also working for this security company. Basically, it's a security company that has contracts with companies all over the city. Well, by the way, This is extremely riveting to the listeners, I'm sure. It's so riveting. So my buddy had this job.

He's like, if you need a job with strange hours, I got it. And it was a security job at a corn plant. Sometimes I would work third shift, which was 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., which was a bit of a nightmare. But it ended up being a blessing in disguise because your brain gets weird at around 2 to 3 a.m. And when you're drinking really strong coffee, and that's when I started a blog. And that's when I started to write. and that sort of it came out of that.

So it ended up being a blessing, but, you know, at the time, it didn't, felt like it was going nowhere. And you're like, if I'm going to keep doing this for five years, I'm going to be dead. But lucky enough, like six or seven months in, it turned into like a whole big deal. Who told you to start a blog or did you just like look up, like how to start a blog.com?

What did you win bored? Well, I love, like, I love martial sports. I always have. Even before I worked here, I was a huge fan. And a buddy of mine was a, He was good with building websites. He was really good at that. So I was like, can you build me a website that I can start blogging from?

It was really simple WordPress, but I wanted it to look sort of cool. And I had him put that together. And then I basically started blogging like I was working for Barstool, but that I was just the Iowa chapter or whatever you want to call of Barstool Sports. And I just started doing that nonstop. When I wasn't working security, when I wasn't going to school, I was blogging like a motherfucker, like crazy. And then I just, you know, you get good at it over time. Wow.

That's riveting stuff. It really is. That's awesome. What's the biggest incident that happened? Like somebody, they like don't have a form of ID or was it more intense in that? Oh, with the truck drivers? Sir, you don't have your corn ID? I just can't.

I can't. The thing is, sir. The thing is. The thing is, like, my demeanor was my weapon. Like, I was just friendly to everyone. So everyone was nice to me. I was nice to them. And we never had an incident.

Legitimately, I worked there for two, three years. And I can't name one incident where I had to call a superior and be like, we got a situation over here. I was like, man, I was going to steal all this corn, but this guy is so fucking nice. Yeah. And you, it's just, if you're nice to people, they're nice to you. That's really the lesson. and you don't need a taser or a baton to fuck people up if you're all just nice to each other.

I wish, I wish, because I get to, I've gotten this question before, obviously, because I tell people that I was security guard before I worked at Barstool. And they always ask, what was the craziest incident you had? And I just don't have one. I don't have one. Too nice. I think that's fair. I thought you were at a bar, so there's going to be an incident from time to time. but working into corn factory and weighing people in and out.

I also like, how big are the transactions? Because like how big is, how much is a whole tractor of corn work? I don't, that I don't know. I tried to get corn yesterday and they said, ah, the first freeze got the whole batch. That'll happen. We're talking to a farmer. Oh, yeah, your dad's a hell of a juggler I saw with the, the apple.

He's an outrageous juggler. And he hadn't juggled in like, years. He's just like, oh, yeah, let's do it. I guess that's just a skill that. Frangy, on Instagram you posted, the picture of your dad juggling. He was happy as a clamp, too, throwing those things up and down and gave me a good Sunday lap. God, he's crazy. He's one of a kind. All right, folks, we got a lot to get to Owens. Drink a lot of Owens this past weekend.

Merch, we got new merchandise, the green and yellow line. Very, very, very good. Very fresh. We've got a tournament coming up here in a couple weeks.

that's probably going to have a little bit of a similar look, you might think. So if you're into themes and whatnot, it's a pretty good coincidence right there. So go to store. Dot barsoorsports.com. Check it out. I have information that we're working on perhaps our next four-man scramble outside of pros. We're always working on pros. We're getting into it a little bit with Matt Wolfe on Twitter.

He would be a fantastic guy for us to play against Frank. He called his swing like the ugliest swing in the war. world. And then he's just one of the best players in the world. He's almost won both major championships this year. He's one of the best young stars. How young he is is like laughable every time. And he's going to be really, really, really good for every hit the ball a mile. He was like outdriving Bryson, which I don't think gets a ton of enough credit at Wingfoot when they were playing in the final group together. And then now he wants to take on the four-man scramble. And again, Frankie said his swing is just hideous. So I really, I really think that if you're going to get

personality and golf game match, that that might be one of our tallest tasks. Did you say that you- Totally, sorry. I think someone knocked on my door, and I don't know if you guys saw it. I was seamlessly just, I seamlessly hit mute and said, doing a podcast, and then unhit mute. So I think when I said doing a podcast, whatever you said, now it seems as though it was directed towards me, but I didn't hear exactly what you said.

I know we were talking about Max. We were talking about Matthew Wolfe. But that threw me off. There's no denying that. I tried to be smooth and act like it didn't throw me off, but I'm now on an island alone, and I have no idea what we're talking about. It was a little confusing because I did say that there's a non-PGAHR pro

four-man scramble that's, I think, coming up against us soon that we have to figure out. But I also then looped in the Matt Wolf thing. Yes, which I heard. Okay, okay, I got you. Yes, okay. Matt Wolf, I hope we can play him. Everybody's going to be a fan of that, you know.

Big time. He could be one of the toughest ones for us to defeat. to be honestly. Totally great. We can't match distance like that. When we start getting to that upper echelon, first of all, we're not even going to be playing the same course

because we're just going to be yelling to him as he hits one from 100 yards in front of us. So that's going to be quite different. If we ever play the Bryson's, the wolves of the world that just pounded 150 yards further than us, like it is just, in order for the producers to get like content of us talking,

I don't know where they're going to get that done because it's going to be T-Box until we hit one from 250 out. We are, yeah, I think at some point we're going to get super cocky. Like maybe we'll play a non-pro next and then we're going to win that one. And then we're going to end up hitting a wall of just like we hadn't seen that kind of competition yet, like a Bryson or Wolf. Like we're not even going to come close. Well, your thing too, if we start playing lower handicaps, we're just eventually going to lose.

Like, I understand we have a good dynamic in our group of different type of players, which makes us a pretty good scramble relative to like our net handicap. But if we just go out and play a bunch of twos, we're going to get crushed. Like, I played this past week. And I was without question the worst golfer in the group. And I shot 79. And I didn't, I wasn't within five to seven strokes of the next golf that I played with. Like, if we play it at that level, we're just going to get whitewashed on a golf course.

Yeah, in a scramble, yes. If they're a scramble together, they just become the best golfer ever. Right, right. So that leads me to my next question, which is that this, we kind of got a little bit fortunate in that we put up, when we did the Jake Owen match, we put up an auction item to help Jake raise money for the Jake Owen Foundation. One of those items was you can play against the four-man scramble. So you and three friends, well, this guy Dustin, who won, you know, highest bid last year,

to go to the Barstville Classic and play with Paige Sparannick and Taylor Cusack, he also now put in the highest bid to play the four-man scramble. And his partners are Paige Spirannic, Chelsea Pazola, and Melissa Mobato. Now, these three all played very high-level golf. Page is professional, like professional golf. Like, she did play professional golf. We've seen her play. She's very, very good.

She's like a plus one or two. and just plays like casually now. So how? How is that guy? How is he? Is he a good player? I think he's solid. I don't really know.

I'm not sure exactly what his handicap is. I think he's around us, like in that area. So if we're going to, I'm not going to agree to a match where we're going to lose. So it's we have to, if we play at the same tease, maybe that would make. make it fair, but then, like, Lurch and I, when we were in Arizona, like, we played with Page and played the same T's, and, I mean, she killed us. Right. I mean, so playing the same T's is, playing the same T's is without a doubt the correct

decision. You can't allow them to play a further, an up front T because at that point now, now it's their advantage. Like, it's their, like, we have to have, you can't have any advantages here, especially and they're pros. Like, we have to have all the advantages. If anything, they have to play behind us. I was thinking our thing now, like,

we might be the ones rooting to play from 8,000 yards. 100%. 100%. I think that's, I think that's like, if we played from 10,000 yards, I think we have a big advantage. If we play from 6,500, I think we'll get killed.

Killed. We'd get killed from 6,500. Kill. It's dirty. I know, I know, Dustin, he's probably like a 15-18 handicaps, so not bad. He's going to help out. And then who's the last girl you mentioned?

Is that Dustin's partner from the... Yeah, she's a stick. So she's dirty too. We'll get absolutely whitewashed from 6,500. He drained that one like Eagle in from the fairway. Remember that? Yeah. And over with a camera.

I'm like, hey, I'm going to film you guys playing golf. And she's like, all right, watch this one go in, loser. And she hits like a 120-yard flop shot over a bunker. one hops it into the hole and I was like what the fuck just happened. Yeah, that needs to be. We need to either ignore that match and just say like, no, your like transaction never came through. And that gets clicks.

Page Baranick playing against the four man scramble gets clicks and it gets views. Like page Baranick is a very big personality and she's sick at golf and she will probably beat us. And if we lose to a bunch of girls, that'll be a funny storyline. You've lost to a bunch of girls even though they're fucking awesome at golf, like, no one will see that part of it, that they're just sticks. No one's going to see the part that they're just unbelievable at go. I'll say this.

If we do play back, I think that, like, we'll be hitting second into every single hole, which, like, we have, we would have the advantage there. How far does Pace Moranick hit a draft? Like, I'm going to say, what do you think, like, 250, I was going to say somewhere in there, I would say a little less, but not far off. And it's down the middle every single time. She's never missed a fairway. I've never seen her missed a fairway.

And I'm sure that her partners are the same way. They're going to be right down the middle. And then part three is they're going to crush us. Also, like, if Dustin hits fairways, like he hits it out there pretty good. So, you know, whatever. If he hits, if he has a good driving day, then we have like a larger problem on our hands. Yeah, you're right. That's, yeah.

I'm still confident if we play it from like a decent distance. It's got to be over 7,000. Because our par fives will come into our advantage so much. Like we could maybe hit some greens in two. And then they won't even have a chance if it's from 7,200. But do you really shocked at how good? Have you played with Paige? No, I wouldn't be shocked.

I know how good. I watch all the, I watch all their rounds. I mean, like, I know how good she is at golf. She's phenomenal at golf, phenomenal. Phenomenal. That's why I said par three is we'll get absolutely torched. Yeah. Yeah, she's.

They're going to hit three darts into every green. Yeah, yeah. I think 7,000 yards over that we've got a good chance. I think we're like 51% favorites. But, dude, think about the Jake Owen match. Like, on par three is, like, they missed the green, constantly. Like they were never putting for birdie on part threes.

They were always missing the greens. We're going to be, they're going to hit greens and regulation like their life depends on it. It's, it's again a very tall task because, I mean, they have at least three people on their team that are just better than anyone on our team. But it's they just, they don't hit it as far. So if we can somehow find a way to strategically set it up, we might. might have a chance. Now, it's a good. They're putting too, man.

Holy shit, man. Maybe our tallest task yet. And I know you're talking about like pages, short cane's outrageous, but like, hopefully I got to know that the short cane comes in a ton in scramble, a couple holes here and there. It's obviously, you know, if you hit one up near the green, somebody's able to hit a pretty clutch chip, like, but it's not, that's usually not a huge factor throughout the whole day.

So. Yes, but like when they have four looks at a 10 foot put for birdie or par, or par when like Jake and Daris were just missing them and making bogeys and we were we were skating away with par wins. I think that they are going to be drilling puts. Drilling puts.

Paige is a very good part. We're talking a lot about her because like I haven't seen the other two play. I haven't really seen Melissa Chelsea play much. I don't really remember much about Dustin's game, but like Paige could in theory Paige could give us a pretty serious match on her own. I think that they are are without a doubt the favorites in that.

We got to get the T's right. The T's the only thing. If it's 65 or less, there's really no reason to even compete. I'm not playing. We can't make it there. We don't have a single open day in the count. If it's 72, then I'll be there. All right, so we're going to try to set down when I'll pay attention.

It's probably going to be in the next month or so. That's my guess. And we'll give it the full treatment. We'll go live. We're going to put out the video. with the drone footage and all kinds of good stuff. We're getting better and better and better at that, I think. So we're going to continue, obviously, to do it hopefully as well as we have.

Okay. Bermuda. Jake and I had a long day yesterday, traveling all over the place, almost had a meltdown with American Airlines, barely got through it, barely got through it. Then we get to three different flights yesterday. We get to Miami last night, which Florida is the worst place in the world. So hot, humid. Everyone's just, oh, oh.

not a Florida guy. So we get to the gate to go from Miami to Bermuda. American Airlines overbooked the flight by 18 people. That's unacceptable. That's an unacceptably high number. Eighteen. Are they getting people that are just not showing up the flights? Like that sounds ridiculous.

There's got to be a data point behind them where they're like, yeah, we can overbook by double because nobody shows for flights anymore. I mean, it was very much a put your head down and like get to your seat and don't worry about anybody else things. So that's what we were doing. And then when we got to Bermuda, the rumor mill was that three players and three caddies didn't get on. Like our flight yesterday was all PGA tour guys and all caddies.

It was like a charter plane, basically, the whole thing. Everybody's got masks on. So it's like you kind of think he recognized people to a degree. But then it's also like it's always been an opposite field event. It's not opposite field this week, but it's clearly, you know, the middle or bottom of the pack PGA tour guys. this week. So it's like, you kind of know some of the guys and they got masks on. You can't really tell. I sit down and Doug Jim, who's low amateur in 2018 Masters was a stud with Texas,

is like, just takes a picture of me and tags me on Instagram. Very cool dude. Him and his caddy, me and Jake were chatting up with them. Very good, dude. So it's like kind of a cool crew up here. You get to the, then you get to the actual airport in Bermuda. And it was, it took, Had to take us an hour and a half maybe to get from the plane to getting your actual bags because they're so strict about COVID. I mean, it's an island. So I get that. But you got to go, you had to get a test prior to the trip.

You had to have a travel authorization form that the government had to approve. You got to have all the passport stuff. Then you have to take a test at the airport before they'll let you through. And the lady, she's like, have you had the COVID test before? Yeah, it's probably my fifth or sixth one. She goes, okay, you haven't had one like you have in Bermuda. I'm like, what does that mean? And do it through your butthole or what?

She goes, we go way back there. And I was like, what do you mean you go way back there? And she's just like, I'm going to need you to like lean your head back. And she went as deep as anyone's gone yet by far for several seconds. And then double nostriled it. Went to the other one. So you think it's over. and then hit you with the next nostril.

Like the second punch was such a stunning, more, my eyes are watering. And I look out and I get out and there's Doug Gimmy. And he goes, boy, that was intense. I was like, yeah. Outrageous. And then they're so strict about it that we finally go through all the stuff,

get to the hotel. And then they give you a hotel key that deactivates after your first entry because you're not allowed to leave your hotel room because you're quarantining until you get the negative test result back. Oh, my God. Yeah.

This is wild. My God. That's one hell of a fucking system they got going on over that. That is with a hotel room key. That's like, there's some thought put into that. So obviously if you leave, you're just stranded. You can't get back to your room. They probably don't issue a car.

They kick you off the island. Yeah, they just like, right. Like Hunger Games, the ship comes down, scoops you up and you're gone. It's like, nice try, buddy, not on this island. So, yeah, it was, she said that. She goes, yes, so your hotel. hotel room keys to deactivate. I was kind of like half paying attention at 2.30 in the morning. I said, can you say that again? What, what's going on here? Like, yeah, your hotel room keep

deactivate. I was like, that's awesome. That's actually, I feel like I'm in a pretty crazy movie. Does Bernuda have zero cases? They have to have zero cases then. I think at this point, they have zero to like, you know, there's no possibility for you to really spread it. So if they do have one, right? Like, let's say Jake or I picked up the COVID at the airport or something yesterday and tested positive, well, then we're just hunkered into this room. And they literally don't make it possible for you to leave a room. So you're just quarantining for 14 days. So they also, on our form, when we came into the country, if you contract the virus while

you're here and you're like quarantining, they put like an anklet on you to track you to make sure you're not leaving your room. Holy shit. Like they're... They don't want this virus. Apparently people who like work kind of with international folk, like, they get tested like twice a week. Like, race and I have to go get tested on Thursday,

even though we leave Friday. So, and what's the deal? That if you have COVID and you have to quarantine in that room, is that individual just on the hook for two weeks of hotel bills? It says that. It says at the expense of the contractor of the virus. Oh, Oh,

Bermuda's not fucking around, man. What's that flight from Miami, Bermuda? How long is that? Two hours. Yeah, it's not bad from the East Coast of Bermuda. Actually, like two hours from New York, too, I think, or like 2, 215. I will say you, I was looking at the, I went on to my Maps app and look at the little blue dot. You're just in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

Well, it's funny to say that because I was doing that as we were talking. It's way out there, I thought. I thought way more than two hours. You are just, if you zoom out where you can see all of the United States, you just can't see Bermuda. It's a speck in the ocean. That's crazy. No, it's out there. We're just in the middle of the ocean.

I don't know how Jake and I were talking like, how did they find this place? Who found this place? How is that possible? It's like they should just be flying over it around it and nobody knew it was there. But we're here. Some sort of boat. Some sort of boat must have run into it. Remember when we looked at the fucking, remember when we looked at the fucking math when we were in Australia, in Tasmania?

Yeah. On our phone. I was like, dude, how are we standing right here in the world right now? That felt like a simulation. because we were just into this little island with all water around it. And actually Antarctica was showing itself a little bit on the bottom. So I said, where are we right now? When I went on Snap Maps, it showed that I was near Antarctica.

Like when I was like, oh, let me see where my friends are at. Someone's like, dude, are you in Antarctic? Like someone's like, one of my buddies was like, yo, I think the geo thing was off. And it just showed you like in the middle of like the South Pole. I was like, I don't know. I don't know what's happening right now. But I just know I'm not home as far away from home as I could possibly be. It sounds elementary, but it is crazy that I could just wake up yesterday in St. Louis after being at a wedding.

And then, you know, I get on a vessel at noon. And by like midnight, I'm just in the middle of the ocean at this tropical, you know, vacations. It just doesn't make any sense. So which I'm reading. So I'm now, I'm now just Googling Bermuda because I don't know anything about it. It says Bermuda, Jamaica, come of it. I don't know the words. I don't know who I want to take it.

Key Lago, Montego, where do we go? Definitely not a single. Not to Kokomo. It's a British island territory that I didn't know that. They love the queen here. Well, all right. Oh, well, I had no, right. What is going to Bermuda?

I could have had a hundred guesses. I would not have guessed that. I don't know anything about Bermuda. Also, so they drive on the other side of the road here, and the roads are tight and, you know, hilly, and they fly, and there's not any room for air. We're in our fucking cab last night. It's 2.30 in the morning.

We're traveling all day. We come up. There's just an upside down car in the middle of the road with its lights on and had clearly crashed within the last 10 minutes to the point where the cab he stops and he's like, can you get out and check if anybody's in there? Oh, my God.

Huh? Yes, you do it. Yeah. And I was like, who's supposed to be quarantined. Why don't you reach in that car? Said, bred your quarantine, check out of this guy's a lot.

It was like for, I mean, there was, Jake was there. It was one of the most rattling moments of my life. Like the guy, if I, nobody was in there.

If I, if I, like, it was in my head, it was a 50, 50 shot that there's just an upside down dead person in this car.

And you went out and looked. I had to. What if they needed help? What if they needed? It was like a scene of, transporter, you know, when like the cars are like Jason afterwards, they do like to flip over like a barrier?

No, no emergency vehicles? No, none yet. Holy fuck. Dude, it was, um, it was like an altruistic moment where I had to like, if I didn't do it, like I could have, it was life, it could have been a life or death situation where I was like, no, no, I need to get to my

hotel. I'm not going to look at this car. That is one of those moments where if you don't check, then you guys go, you go to the hotel, you're like, I'm going to pop on the news. There was a man stuck inside a vehicle for 45 minutes and he died because no one helped him. That'd be a low point. Yeah, you have to look. And then also you have to get that like adrenaline strength.

You got to like lift it up and stuff. Like your life could have changed if someone was dangling from that car. Right. It would have been like the mom who lifts her minivan. Yeah. Was it totally rolled over on the top of the car? So it was like crunching down? Oh yeah.

So you got on all your fours and you like, peering under to see if somebody's head was squashed or something? Like, what is your... That's correct. I would like the next question. Did you say anything? Yes. What'd you say?

I said, hello. Hello? I honestly... Hello? Anyone in there? It was dead silent, except for you could hear the radio on the upside-down car a little bit. And I...

Jake was there. I got out. And I peered in and I was like, hello? Anybody? Hello? And there was another man standing in this driveway who would like clearly come over. And he's like, there's nobody in there. And we're like, oh, okay.

He's like, yeah, they're gone. So we're like, well, what happened? And then the guy was like, he was like on a phone or something. So then we just got in and left. Wow. You've lived 10 lives in 14 hours. But then it was interesting because this just shows how small the island is. Our cabby was like, it's interesting.

I'm not sure someone called the cops because I, I haven't heard a siren. It's like I haven't seen a cop car. Right. So, yeah. And then last time we were here, people remember, was the Armageddon scene

when Andrew and I had to get out and walk with our bags for two miles across the causeway because there was an accident on the causeway. And this was the beginning of our Australia trip

when we had to go from Bermuda and New York and then meet you guys in New York. And we're far fucking, it's like 6 a.m. We've been drinking Gosslings rum, which is delicious all week long, a little bit hungover, and trying to get the, and the cabby's like, it's dead stopped. We're at the top of this hill, and the cabby's like, there's no traffic on this island.

This can only be one thing. It's a car accident on the causeway, which means the only way you guys can catch your flight is to walk. We're like, well, how far are we? It's like, it's probably a mile and a half. So we had all of our bags, golf clubs, we walk a mile and a half. And then at one point, there was a lot. like a foot and a half window between two cars that crashed on the causeway that the whole

plane had to get through. Anyone that was going to the airport just had to get through this gap. It was, this place is a crazy place. Damn, I don't remember that story at all, but I would have just been like I live in Bermuda now. I just, I am a resident of Bermuda. I'm not walking a mile and a half with my golf bag and all my bags. So I live here now. That would have been my, that would, I don't know, it's crazy.

I'm pulling this footage back up. But this was last year. This is how the whole plane got to the airport. They couldn't just move the cars that crash. I don't understand. So people that can't see now, like there's two cars just crash taking up the entire causeway. And then me and Andrew,

producer Andrew, this is the whole, you see everybody walking across the causeway? Yeah. Oh my God. You guys are stepping over the bodies from the cars. I got to make this flight. You got blue at 8 a.m.

Let's go. So, yeah, Bermuda, it's a crazy place, and we're here. We're here all week. We're playing a little bit of golf. We'll be filming. We'll be doing some live coverage, and then the PJ tour events here. So we're going to interview a couple people, cover the event on Thursday.

I think they have fans, because, like, if you get, if you're on this island, it's very clear to them that you have, they have determined you do not have COVID. So I think that there's fans, and I don't know that it's going to, be packed but there'll be a few people out there so anyways we'll be here all week jake and i will be putting some stuff out so follow along um another thing that you can and should be following along with is the feedback of what's going on with your body with whoop we've been on whoop train for a long

time now uh really we can't stress it enough i check it every single morning my sleep my recovery it uh confirms whatever you might be thinking about yourself and just gives you that knowledge about how well you are sleeping, you aren't sleeping, how much it's putting your body in a recovery state so that you're able to go through strain the next day. You want to be obviously in the best mental and physical shape that you could possibly be in. And it's incredible. And we had Will on here, who's the founder of the company, who was talking Trent through all his disturbances when we thought it was maybe an exorcism situation. It turned out it was just a sugar intake right before bed situation. And that helped him literally overnight. So you can get all kinds of good

feedback. We can't stress enough how much you should be on the whoop drain. You go to woup.com use the code four. You get 15% off. They procured over a thousand straps for all the guys on tour after the Nick Watney situation where he's able to detect. I think they said 80% accuracy rate is able to detect COVID with like your heart rate and and everything that's going on with your body. It's like oh shit, that seems like COVID. Nick Watney went and got tested and boom, he had it. So PGA Tor has procured whoop for everybody. You should procure a woop band for yourself. go to whoop.com, use code 4 for 15% off. How are you guys doing on your whoop standings right now?

Oh, boy. Mom was dead for a couple days and then I charged it up. So it's kind of like I'm getting back into that weak statistical period where like it's trying to find my respiratory rate based off of like, I feel like when it's dead for two or three days, it loses its track of like where you're at. But I mainly use it for sleep and I mainly use it for recovery. I'm not the most active person in the world,

but I still think even if you're not the most. active person in the world, it's worth having just for the statistics. Like, there's nothing I like better than turning on that heart rate and seeing like where it was in certain moments and live heart rate updates and respiratory rate. I mean, you really do know if your body's fighting an infection. Your respiratory rate just goes up in the middle of the night. You know that it was working overtime to fight something. And that's pretty good data.

Lurch and I were recently talking about how, you know, things have kind of gotten away from us recently in terms of food and weight. and how we're looking these days. Lurch, you and I, we might have to do some sort of whoop. And we talked about doing like a weight loss competition. Maybe we'll do a whoop competition on strain or recovery and shit like that. That'd be kind of fun. That would be actually. Like a hook, you got to keep a strain up of a certain number. Yeah. After day. And then we have a goal weight. I know Riggs and I talked about it a long time ago about how to drop weight. And that's actually where the Apple week came in where I just ate apples for a whole week and lost like 20 pounds.

I literally went from like 250 to like 2.30 in a week because I just had like probably 25 apples over the course of one. Our big takeaway from that whole thing was how diet is just everything. Like I was when I ended up losing, I lost 20 pounds over the course of like two months. And all I really changed was instead of getting an everything bagel, sausage egg and cheese every morning. I got English muffin egg and cheese with no sausage. And that like I literally lost 18 pounds. And like obviously that seems. to the rest of your diet a little bit

because you're thinking like if I'm doing it in the morning I'm going to do it a little more. I went from getting a burrito to a burrito bowl at Chipotle and like, you know, a little bit less sour cream, a little bit maybe more. And that was the only thing I fucking changed. I think I lost 18 pounds. Crazy.

It is crazy how much diet plays to effect. But I think we should how long we can sustain a certain strain day after day during the weekends. Weekends can't count. Okay. Yeah, we'll have to, yeah, we'll iron out the D-D. Then we can create like a group. We can have people jump into the group and we'll do that whole thing.

When you're leading the whole thing with weekends can't count, this will not work. No. I think weekends should count. Oh, well, we can talk about that. You can propose some ideas. We're talking about it. No, we're talking about it. That's what I think you want to know a fucking crazy thing I'm about to say.

I think Lurch wins that competition. Why? I think Lurch is far and away more active than Trent. Well, that's the competition. and I have to be more active. Right. I don't know that you can get to that level. I think his life is so much more active than yours that you won't even,

I think his, I think his strain is double yours. Like, well, maybe we'll have to- Probably double mine too. Like, I think you're a very active big person. Maybe like, well, maybe the range will be 10 strain a day. It's tens a lot, but we can probably get there. But dude, he's playing tennis.

Think about what his strain is. Time to time is some of the funniest comments of all time, When Frankie describes me, my life, who I am as a quote-unquote big person is some of the funny it's one-off. It's necessary for him to say big there. He could have just said active person. He is right, though, because I wake up, I wake up in my strain, and I think everyone says goes to about 4-2, 4-3.

My head hits the pillow at 4-7. Like, I'm just not doing anything. But that's the goal. I have to then, if we're going to do this competition, which I absolutely think we should, because I am so out of shape right now that I need to start working out more and that would get me to do it for sure. Frankie, didn't you, when COVID just hit,

you had the lowest maybe step count in the history of steps? I think it was like video games all day. Didn't you have like 58 steps over the course? Yeah, I think it was like under 100 steps for the day. It was like 78 steps. And it was in my apartment. I remember saying like I think it was,

if you mapped it out, it was a couple of steps to the bathroom and back. And then maybe a couple times I lifted up my phone where it like actually adjust it didn't it wasn't actually a step it was just like my arm right literally like people

with like 20 steps to the bathroom and then you'd see like one every five minutes that would just be picking up your phone and you just pick those out so it was probably under 50 steps for the counter like there's fucking people more active in comas in the hospital yes literally

Frankie bro very who puts out a Frankie alert that's like potentially dead like he should be checked on. One thing I got to figure out on my notifications. I don't really get notifications from that much. Like, oh, you need to be more active.

I think I have something not clicked on there. Because I made the call recently. I just get like almost no notifications on my phone. It's great. So, yeah, I've thought about that world. I don't know if you guys watch Social Dilemma, but it made me think to turn off all notifications. But in the world that we all live,

it's very hard to do that. Yeah. Like, I just, I just dumped it down big time. It's not let everything's off. It's also not, it doesn't really matter because I'm on it so much anyways that, like, anything I'm going to need to see, I just will see. So that was sort of my theory. I refuse to watch the social dilemma.

I will never watch that documentary. I know what it's going to tell me. And I don't, I don't need to know the specifics of it. I know enough to know that looking at my phone every four minutes is fucking bad for my brain. I know that. I'm not an idiot, but I don't need to know how much it's deteriorating my brain or how bad or how it's probably worse for me than cigarettes or they're going to throw something at me that I'm never going to be able to not think about. So I would rather not put myself through that. I'm just not going to watch it. The crazy thing is like we don't

know what it does to like our society yet because it's so damn new that it's actually changing the way humans will be like born and like we're evolving humans to be dumber and relying on stuff that they've never had to rely on ever. It's crazy. It's funny. I think about some history classes you've taken and how hundreds of years ago, maybe thousands of years ago, how like Polynesian tribes could just go anywhere in the world easily based on the stars.

They just knew how to get anywhere based on orienting themselves with the stars. And it was never a problem. They could just navigate through thousands of, of different islands and go to the right one every time because they just, you just like, I couldn't get to a fucking quick trip without my fault. Like, I couldn't, I just couldn't do it.

There's no way. And it's, when people send in a text, they're like, yeah, this is where we're going. And then what you're going to want to do is like, go up left past the McDonald's. And you're like, no, no, I don't need to know any of that. Actually, just tell me the name. And I'll type it into this little device in my pocket.

And it'll just present a line that I've, follow until I get to that spot. That's it. That's all I need to do. I do appreciate the people that still tell you like, oh, no, you have to take it. It's like the second left after the light that you go past the gas station, you go down the road. I'll listen to that because that generation is like dying, which is sad.

But I'll listen, but I won't take in anything because I know there's like a foolproof way. Because if I screw that up, I could be lost for hours and like not know now. I'm just going down some road. like waiting to see the gulf before I can take a right and a quarter mile down like Humphrey Dump Road. Like that, I just, thank you. That's awesome. Appreciate the time. And then I just go right to the phone.

But I do appreciate those directions because that is soon to be very, very lost. The other reason I don't want to watch the social dilemma is that I know that we are, as people who work on the internet, have been working on the internet for years. We are the point zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, one percent of people who use their phone. Like I don't I have, again, I haven't watched the social dilemma, but I bet they're talking about the average person who has like a pretty normal nine to five. How much they use their phone? How much they check Twitter? How much they check Instagram?

And then you take us, who it's our job to do that. We are, our brains are so fucked and I just don't even want to know about it. I really don't. Like, yeah, my brain is probably going to crumple and it's going to look like a raisin when they end up cutting my head open. But just like let me live that way because it's worked so far. And I'm just, yes, I'm addicted to my phone. Yes, it's horrible for me, but I can't do anything about it at this point because it's my job, so just let me die that way.

Amen. Amen. That's my thought. That's my thought. I watched it. I watched it. I hated it. It was one of the least enjoyable things I've ever watched, but it was also, like you're saying, like there's nothing.

It's like I might as well watch something about how bad alcohol is for you. It's like, no, okay. No, I know. But like, I'm going to, I like to drink alcohol. It's very fun. Like, I'm a social drink, so I'm just going to drink. Like, I'm not going to, that's just what I'm going to do. I'm not living in a world where I'm like, oh, look at my phone.

That's like exercising. That's good for me. This is having these things walt, walt, wamp into my brain. That's great for me. No, I know it's terrible. I don't even know how fucking terrible. Don't tell me. Dude, notification should be now called waltz.

Notification should just be wops. Wamp, wamp. Wow, wamp. Okay. Let's get into some topics, some headlines. We got Bryson DeCambe. Once again, he's not even playing this week, and he just took over a couple of different storylines.

The big one was the 400-plus-yard carry posted on his Instagram story, the screenshot of the feedback, the track ban or whatever he's using feedback. 403.1-yard carry. He reached 211 mile-per-hour ball speed. Keep in mind to keep that a little bit of a reference point. When Tiger came back in 2018 at the end of the year, and everybody was raving about how good he looked. He was like on his big drives getting to about 180, 181, 182,

and Bryson reached 211 miles an hour ball speed. The ball was in the air for 8.2 seconds, which is that is such a long time. If you think about how long, like a golf ball being in the air. And then the caveat was it was a 20 mile an hour. downwind, which some people were like, I saw some people using that as like, oh, I like, I thwarted what he thought he was posting. You can give me a 2,000 mile an hour downwind.

Like, I can't carry the ball 300 yards, let alone 403. So that, you know, I mean, we're going to say it, but 403 is, that's something. So the hell of a number. I was like talking about this. And the first thing that I brought up to was the carry. And like that's amazing. But then when I played with these sticks, the other, this last weekend, they were bragging about the spin rate.

And then I looked into the spin rate was like 700, whatever, was it, RPMs lower than like the tour average too, because that's a goal you want to get to in terms of like where the ball is going to go left or right. And I think he was, let me see, he was sub 2,000 RPMs on the spin rate. And I think the average tour is like 26, 2,700. So if you're ripping the ball that far and that straight, That is just freakish on any level. And I think everybody's salivating to see what he's going to do at Augusta

because it is going to be must watch TV in terms of where his like our angles and target lines are going to be off the tee. I cannot wait to see what's about to happen. And I do think that he has proven now that he's pretty much a major's guy. Like he, you know, I know like last week when he came out and we were hooting and hollering about him coming out and shooting like 62 or whatever he shot, driving all these greens, and he ended up having a shit weekend and he didn't finish that. I don't even think at that tournament, he cares about anything that happens at that tournament,

really. I think overall he was talking about Augusta in his presser for that tournament. He's talking about how he's got a new weapon he's going to unveil, and he doesn't even know if it's going to be ready for Augusta yet. So I think that he was very close at Harding Park to winning that tournament. He did win by six at Wingfoot. Now, this is going to be the third major since he turned into the incredible golf hulk.

And I think that it's going to be a problem. Like, he is going to factor in at Augusta. It's wide, you know, pretty wide open, relatively speaking, off the tee. He hits the ball now. I mean, he can carry it 400 yards, 400 yards. So it's going to be so fun to watch him take on Augusta National. And, yeah, like when we had Trevor Irman on, He was talking about a lot of the second shot aspects of the golf course and how you have to get it onto the certain tiers

and how he's not necessarily dialed in with his wedges as he would like to be for somebody hits a ball as far. But if you're just that much farther ahead of everyone else, you know, you're going to have a huge advantage. He was in the top five or ten, I believe, in strokes gained around the green at wing foot. So like he can get his touch and his putting is really good and doesn't get talked about it enough. So now you've got this guy who's just obsessed every minute they'd, he's off, right? Like, like, kids would be, you know, fucking killing shit in South Carolina and having beers with the boys on Friday. What's the price of doing? He's carrying it 403 yards. Like, that's just, this is, he's a machine. So I just did some quick math. If you do 400 yards times

18 holes, that is a, like a, at like a total distance of the golf course of 7,200 yards. Now, I know there's par three's and par fives, but that means pretty much you're just able to get to every hole in one. Like, you know, obviously part three is, but part five, you know, so if you're going to take out whatever, six holes, like 12 of those holes, potentially he's just ripping it on the green. Yeah. The accuracy.

If I come to a hole that's 515 yards, I'm, I likely can't, like, there's a good chance I can't get there. Like, I would have to hit a really good drive and then a really solid second would probably be a three wood or a three iron. and that's if everything went really, really well. Like, he can hit the ball 400 yards and then have, I mean, he would have, for him, it'd be a little, like, chippy sand wedge into the hole, like, on a par five. So it's just when you look at the numbers like that, it is astounding.

Like, if I come to a par four that's 440 plus or so, I'm like, oh, shit, this is going to be, this would be a really good performance if I have a good look for par. And, like, he's driving it. He carried it 403. So it is laughable, the numbers. And like you're talking about, people that know the game better. And those spin rates, too.

Again, that means it's not going to go his left to right, which is huge. But also it means it doesn't get up in the air. It just kind of barrels through like a fucking bullet. And it barrels through the air, the wind, the resistance, whatever, with less spin and doesn't climb. And that thing just goes 400. I mean, it's amazing way to do it.

Right. And you should get more roll out of less spin, too, because it's not going to, like, check. It's just going to, like, almost be a knuckleball and bounce and kick forward. So the whole thing is absolutely ridiculous. And then when you talk about, yeah, I mean, he's just going to, like, in any scenario,

I would just always, like, my golf strategy is just to try to advance the ball closer to the hole every time. So, like, if I can hit something 400 yards, I'm just going to have, like, a little wedge in. Like, to play smart golf and, like, lay up. Like, if it's a 300-yard hole, like, I'm still going to probably just take driver at it every time because percentage-wise, like, if I hit,

a five iron out there and then a pitching wedge, I think I have a better chance to get on the green in two if I just bomb something close and take like a wedge. So he's just able to do that on the PGA tour and it's like that number is laughable. When he just takes a screenshot of his iPad or whatever track man or whatever is giving

him this insight, it's a joke in how far a golf ball can go. I mean, that's four football fields and he's just, it's in the air for eight seconds. My golf ball can be in the air for like three and a half. Like I would like to know, but it's never eight seconds. should for the broadcast. You know how they do hang time for punts and football? They should

absolutely add that to the golf broadcast. If just for Bryson, I'm sure everybody else is pretty standard, but Bryson, I would like to see the hang time on his golf balls. And then you come up, Tiger comes up and hits a little stinger that's in the air for like half a second. Big golf is great. I don't want to see you. They should have that feature. You're right. And at this point with Bryson, just get us to Augusta. Like, I want to see him do it. Don't get hurt, Bryson. Don't snap your ankles, hitting drives all day long. Like, let's get to Augusta, because the hype at this point is about as high as it can get. So now we're just waiting and waiting and waiting for him to arrive at Augusta National and see if it works.

Imagine if we get to Augusta and on like Tuesday, there's an announcement like Bryson Ashamo has tested positive for COVID-19. Oh. Yeah. I mean, that's the world we're living in, and it's possible. I'm legitimately worried about injury if he keeps working. working this art. It's crazy. Paperez would say that's good for the cat, though, so we're okay. That's true. The fact, too, that the next two majors are at Augusta, it's like all this experimentation and all the gearing up for not just Bryson, but for everybody, can just be solely focused

on your Augusta game. Like, that's it. All you have to worry about. You don't, you know, like, you don't, and it is funny. Like, they do talk about how their tweet Tiger was talking this week. If he didn't have his best week of all time, first time he's playing them on. But he's talking this week about how, like, oh, yeah, the sixth hole is a great example about trying to draw the ball. And, like, they're gearing up for Augusta National, not just once, but twice in the next five months,

we're going to have a major championship at Augusta National. So everything that they're working towards, all the tweaking that they're trying to do is not, like, it doesn't have to be a secondary focus. It's only on Augusta because that's what they have to try to win twice now in the next five months. So it's exciting. It's an exciting time to be a golf fan. It's crazy that the Masters is going to be in the middle of November. And then I don't really know what we're going to do after that

because it's been such a bizarre run. And like anytime anything is finished since golf has come back, there's always been like, oh, it's cool because August is coming in November. And so I'm a little bit concerned about that feeling that Monday after the Masters of like not having that in front of us. but I guess, I mean, I guess it's also better than it's ever been because we're going to have to wait 12 months. You just got to wait like four at that point.

Right, right. I think so Moracalas, too, he's making his debut. So for Ed Augusta, which has got to be so sick. Like, he's coming off a career year. He's playing, you know, as good as golf as he can play. Maybe it's a little down as to where it was, obviously, at Harding Park and things like that. But just to think, you know, he's, Frankie, is he similar age to you

or he's a couple years younger than you? He's a couple years younger. You just have like an Augusta trip here, like a month would be. The chance to win it. Crazy giddy. I know. And like, yes, he has as good as chance as probably anybody. He's probably, you know, in terms of the odds, he's got to be within the top 15, top 20 guys, I would imagine.

And he's just playing two rounds for sure at Augusta. And hopefully he gets three and four. But that internal feeling just would get me so charged up. I mean, with everything going on in the world, the fact that he has that and we get to obviously watch. I mean that is just crazy awesome I cannot wait to see this place It's like having a fun vacation book Like when you're a kid

Like you know Disney's coming up Like maybe the day after Christmas or something And your whole family's like gearing up for it And you're looking at pictures Like oh I'm gonna He's like going to Augusta in a month And he can't he can't wait It's like he's sitting at night being like

Holy fuck what's it gonna look like Where are we gonna stay What's the locker room gonna be like What are the driving range feelings gonna be The first T What's A man quarter gonna look like? Like all that shit. Totally.

And like you saying it, it gets you giddy. Like I just saw you start rocking in your chair. It's like, just fundamentally saying like you're about to go play Augusta. You just, there's no way not to get excited when you talk about just, oh, I'm playing Augusta. Like that just makes me almost get the chills in terms of what that would be like. Yeah. It's all, you know, when you get a buddy's golf trip coming up, that's as exciting as our world

possibly gets. And you start, you know, like that group text or the email chain with your crew a month where people start sending footage from the court, like, you know, is Moracawa, like, texting pictures of A Man Corner to, like, is Caddy, like, oh, look at this, shoot. Look at Golden Bell, baby. Let's go. It's just, they've got to be getting that fired up.

It's so cool to think that that's a real thing. I was talking with Doug last night, Doug Gim, while we're in line, and he obviously, like I said, finished low am in 2018, and he was talking about how, like, he said he feels bad for the amateurs in this year's matches because he's, like, without fans, He's like it definitely affects the amateurs the most because experiencing Augusta for the first time, he's like there's nothing like the patrons at Augusta in the different pockets of the course where they're so present, like 16 and Aman Corner and the first T. And he said to a point where he's like, it's very noticeable as an amateur that like the gallery is almost like snickering at you

because they know you're an amateur and they know that you're more nervous than the professionals. So he's like, you have this sense as an amateur that everyone's kind of, everyone's kind of standing there like whispering. Like, oh, this guy's got a fighter. This guy has got no shot here. And he said you can just sense that the whole time and that it's pretty intimidating, but that's super cool. So, yeah, I mean, anyone going into Augusta for the first time this year, I'm curious about kind of their feelings. I'm sure that they don't care about fans and no fans are going in. And I know they're like Tiger and then I think at this point.

I mean, J.T made a comment, I think, yes. it's like it's hard to get that killer instinct when there's no energy, there's no crowds. So going into Augusta, I mean, I would think that the place is so, it's such a storyline on its own every time that that should replace some of that a little bit. But again, I mean, it's just going to be weird looking at Augusta without the fan. So weird. Yeah, bizarre. Bizar. Bizarre. I mean, certainly like A. Men Corner going 10, 11, 12, like in that section where it always just kind of camera pans after you leave 11 going to 12 and everybody's there. And just, like drinking, carrying on like that, it is going to be so different.

But, you know, the world's just a different place. I hope it still has that, like, energy and that mystique for everybody and those first-time guys, too. But, yeah, I just cannot wait to see what that course looks like this time of year. Make it a dark and stormy night this Halloween with Gosslings' black seal rum and Gosling's stormy ginger beer.

We did it last year, and it was a great time.

And pay attention this week. On the foreplay Instagram, on my Instagram, on our Twitter hounds, we're going to be posting a lot about what's going on this

week Gosslings as part of the tournament, the Bermuda Championship. There's PJ Tour guys all over the place. So we're just kind of around. We're about it. And we're going to be playing golf, Midocean Club, Lurches play, which is awesome. some Port Royal or the P.J. Tor events at, which is awesome. You're trying to get a little bit of revenge from when I went 102, 100 last year in those two rounds, I believe. So you can pay attention to that as well. But big thanks to Gosslings,

really for existing and for the family for putting so much time into their craft, because they create a phenomenal product. It's the go-to of rum, goslings. Okay. Patrick Cantley wins the Zozo at Sherwood. picked him with his little picks there. Good win. Who, who are just dancing. Pumping both arms. Double pumping.

What were you guys? What was it? It was like plus 3,000 somewhere around there. It was a nice gamble. He really, I mean, he's, Patrick Kaly is. Remember, he's delivered. He's very, very good. He's got that, he's got no emotions on the golf course.

He's sort of got that rope. robotic demeanor out there. His swing looks like one of those is like nothing could ever really go wrong. He's a good putter. So he seems as he up there a lot. One of my, like, whenever Patrick Cantley appears on a leaderboard, I just remember last year at the Masters when there were so many people in the mix at Augusta.

And then all of a sudden, out of the clouds, it was like Patrick Cantley is now leading the tournament. And then he just hit a couple, just God awful shots and made a couple bogeys to finish a few strokes back. But I remember that very clear. Like, holy, because it's, you know, it's Tiger, it's Brooks. It's Tony Fienow's right there. Obviously, Molyneux. And then you're like, wait, Patrick Cantlay is leading the Masters tournament? What are you talking about? And then he just wasn't really quickly. I'm sure you saw like Barstow put out like when the Giants were playing the Eagles on Thursday night where Daniel Jones was running and then it just like dropped off

the map. I don't know if you saw that in terms of like percentage chance to win. Yeah. The same thing for Cantley. Like everything was like all of a sudden going really good and then it just fell off the map for him last year. This is not a football podcast, but Daniel Jones tackling himself running with no one in front of him is one of the hardest times I've laughed. It's just so goddamn fucking funny. Dude, I was watching that game too with like a bunch of giant fans at my buddy's house and they were just like the emotion because I'm a Jets fan.

So I mean, I was getting into the game a little bit, but like the emotion of him breaking loose and then be like, go, Daddy, go, like screaming. And then watching that like stumble and then like, no, no. It's like a such a fall, a such a slow fall that you just can't believe what you're watching. And they're all dropped to the ground. Like, are you kidding me? The giant, dude, the New York sports world right now is just such a joke. And I feel like it's, no one knows how to like compute it because we're used to like somewhat of a winning culture in New York when comes to sports. Yankees,

Rangers, they don't, they haven't won in fucking 100 years. But I'm saying, I'm not right off the top. I'm saying it's like, that culture around it's about winning.

It's like what the fans expect. And we don't know how to, we don't know but fumbles and we don't know like Danny Dimes falling by himself. But I think now this is the world we live in in New York. I think it's long, long enough now of losing that we, this is now our world.

And it's actually really, really upset. I mean, the islanders are the, fur this New York team in all of sports this year. That's like a world that, that's Armageddon shit. When he was running down the field, it looked like it was, you know, when you're a kid and you're running down like a steep hill, but you're getting it out of like genuine

excitement. And then kind of like your top half and your lower half get like a little discombobulated and like something's moving too fast and you don't know how to stop or whatever. That's like what happened at like the 20 yard line. And I saw that. I was like, no, no, he's going to, he can't fall. And then he just fell. And I just could not believe it.

And also the Giants were looking like they were like now playoff contenders and now nobody. Let's get off that. But Can't lay, going back to him, yeah, tough job of the masters. But, you know, the second best player of all time, Jack says he's the best ball striker of all time. And Can't Lay was absolutely fantastic closing on Sunday. I don't know what he. He was like six or seven under or maybe even eight yesterday to close that. Seven under, maybe.

But he also, like, yeah, he closed it out, but he also left the door wide open for the guys behind him. He got so lucky that the guys behind him erupted into a million flames. Yeah. I wouldn't say erupted. I mean. Justin Thomas erupted into a million flames when he, when he hits that ball into the water. Like, that's just an, and I know he's probably so pissed himself

because he couldn't even, he couldn't even fathom that he did that on a par five flail. a ball out that far, right? It was a pathetic swing. He actually said to himself, he goes, you are pathetic. That's a pathetic, pathetic swing. You can't put that ball in the water. And if that ball hits the green or anywhere in play and he makes a birdie there, he wins a tournament. Yeah, for sure. I think we should also get two holes after that for Rambo, too. Did you see his shank on Thursday? Yes. I mean, he bounced back and had a fantastic tournament and he will hit one of the worst golf shots I've seen in a long time in a PGA tournament. that. It's amazing just how difficult it is to win because these guys, I mean, the three of them

were pretty separated from the rest. So they're clearly playing very, very good golf yet you see some terrible shots down the stretch that you're just really not used to seeing, especially out of the guys that are playing at the top. It's just, it's very hard to win. It's really difficult. I feel like JT, too, like we see him up there all the time and he's come up short as much as he's won, which is a lot. He's a major champion. He's still young. He's won a bunch. But he also, I feel like he's come up just short. Could have 25 wins, I feel like. Yeah.

Yeah, this year especially, you feel like he's come up just short. Justin Thomas's chip out after he had hit that water shot, he had to drop like underneath the tree with no view to, with no clear shot to like go up and over the tree. He had to go under it. And I tweeted out, you can give me a thousand tries to. to hit this shot. The amount of skill it takes to hit like a 70 or however many yards it was, right? Like a 50 yard low chip shot with a wedge, like a very lofted wedge, low underneath

the tree. And the announcer's like, he has to have this thing come in so hot and take two or three skips and then stop on a dime for it to hold on this ledge. And he hit it absolutely perfectly. The announcers were like, oh, the hands. Like the hands you need to be able to attack the ball at that angle. I mean, I would have taken a four iron at that point. point. The fact that he has a wedge in his hand

that that shot is outrageous to me. I don't know how you keep it that low. I come at such an angle where everything is fucking straight up. My shoulders dip. I swoop the ball. The fact that he's able to come at it, oh my God. A thousand tries. I never get it that close.

1,000. I agree with that. Me too. Wait, just to finish off this Danny Dibb stuff, Jake just fucking wrote in our group, Daniel Jones' top speed on his 80-yard run was faster than Lamar Jackson's top speed on any run this season.

He was a max speed of a ball carrier for the entire season in the NFL this year. 21. Oh, maybe just them two together. Well, because I just saw the other day that D.K. Metcalf, or maybe that was last night. So that article must have come out before that because D.K. Metcalf chasing down that Cardinal was running 23, I think. Well, this says it's a ball carrier, so you just don't listen. Maybe it's maybe you got to hop on that whoop band.

Well, the other guy was the ball carry, and he was running at 22. Max speed is a ball carrier this season. Daniel Jones, 21.2 miles per hour. I wonder how fast we could all run. We can't run 21.2 miles per hour, I'll tell you that. I know that for a plan. Yeah. I think you were driving your car at 20 miles an hour, and a runner went by you.

Yeah, that's like a pretty average speed like in a town, right? Like 20 miles an hour is just like an average speed for a car to go down, like through a town. But then with that in mind, when you're driving 20 miles per hour, it doesn't feel fast at all. Like when you're going 20, you feel like you're creeping. You're creeping. That was hard to go 20 in a car. Yeah. So I get that it's fast, but like 20, like if somebody is able to run 60 miles per hour, then I'm like, you're, you can be on the highway with this car.

But all these guys running, they could run in school zones and not get pulled over. There are 20 miles an hour for a human being just with legs? I'm not saying it's not fast, but the car comparison, when I'm going 20, I'm furious if I'm ever going 20 miles per hour because it's just so slow. Yeah, something's wrong if you're going 20. There's a problem. What's the fastest human, all right, so the fastest human being speed ever was 28 miles an hour. Was it Usain Bolt? Yeah, it was Usain Bolt. Yeah.

Now we're about to touch 30. That's fast. So again? you can almost touch 30 now we're talking if you go 30 miles per hour you're cruising a little bit it wasn't ysame bolt oh the mass behind the fastest person on earth i know it's not ysame bolt now i got to read this fucking thing they just don't give you the answer i need that save your click twitter Trent what do you think your max speed is oh um I don't want to sound crazy wrong but um 11 but i think you've got more in the tank that's the thing I don't know yeah me either Riggs, you're the fastest on the podcast, I would say, for sure.

What do you think your top speed is? I have no clue. I have nothing to base it off. Right. I don't know. It could be 15. It could be 19. I have no idea.

I just have no clue. It's slow, though, for all of us. Slower than that. Slower than they're going in their fucking school zone. Way is slower. They got pads on. They got pads on that weighs you down big time, big old helmet on. Kevin Kisner tied 14th, $143,000.

So just keeping tabs for everybody. Our boy just shows up, California, decent week. 143K. So big shout out to the boys. That's good. Tiger Woods and Phil Nicholson played together on Sunday. Pretty uninspiring. Phil was a million over.

Tiger was a couple over. You know, really in some people who are not high on Tiger Woods, it seemed to be a metaphorical round of golf between Tiger and Phil out there. The old guys in a no-cut event slapping it around early in the morning on Sunday, Tiger and his red, you know, Phil. So I could see how people would see it that way. I was trying to take some positives away. Tiger, one round posted a six under, I believe it was, like 66.

So if he can do that, you know, at least once out at Sherwood, there's at least something to build upon going into Augustine. nationally said that he's going to potentially play in Houston, which he's going to decide early in this week and let everybody know, not do his typical Friday afternoon at 4.59 p.m. Let people know. So that's the week before the Masters. That's rare. Tiger Woods doesn't play the week before the Masters. So him doing that, it's obviously a unique year. We talked about that. Him deciding to play the week before any other year would be very, I think, alarming or whatever. But this year, I mean, he just hasn't played much all year. I feel like he's played in his many. He's played in as many made for TV events as he has, like, legitimate golf tournaments this year. So him getting more reps in, probably overall a good thing, as long as his body can hold up.

I agree, yeah. Getting those glimpses of hope within these rounds is really all we can build upon, like you're saying. I mean, there's not much else. He's not playing a full season. He's not playing a full card like he would when he was in fucking 2001, where you're like, all right, like one week was a dud and the next week he's just going to win.

Like every week that he comes out there, he has, it's his last chance to win, it feels like. And that's like a weird world to live in. But we have a couple of majors coming up, both of them being at Augusta National. And if he can somehow string together a good Thursday Friday, Tiger Woods in the mix on Saturday at Augusta, you don't want to bet on anyone else in the world.

I don't care if he's 60, 70, 80 years old. When he's in the mix, he's in the mix. So that Thursday, Friday, we're going to be watching him like a hawk. We're going to be watching the tournament as if it's the last time we ever see him, because that's how I watch Tiger every single time he goes out there now. I watch him as if it's the last time I'm going to watch Tiger Woods play golf because you never know what's going to happen tomorrow. I could get hit by a fucking bus and then it's over or he could just not play anymore.

So either scenario is not good, but we have to take it with what it is. And I had fun watching him and Phil yesterday, even though they only showed him once in a while because they were fucking 22 strokes behind the leader. It wasn't that much fun in that aspect. But just seeing him walk around with his black sweater on, a little hint of red underneath, drain in a put on 18 or it was his ninth hole, his 18th hole, the ninth hole. But it was seeing him smile. He hit that one bomb put on what, Saturday.

It's like a 60 foot put or whatever the hell that thing was. He's cracking up. He was in good spirits. I think he's like ready to go. I think he's like, just get me to Augusta. A little switch turns on when I go there. I need that switch. I like that.

I like what you're saying. I'm picking up what you're putting down right now. Yeah. He doesn't need to be winning every week. He needs to be peaking and ready to go for a. Augusta National. We have said it countless times on this show. That's fine.

You might be able to make an argument that the U.S. Open is going to be tougher of 44-year-old Tiger Woods going forward. You might be able to make that same argument about a beach PGA championship, but they're long, rough, and it's 7 million yards. Augusta National is a place Tiger Woods can win that until he's 75 years old. So every year that we get this chance where he is healthy enough to compete at a level where he thinks he can win, then we're living, maybe. Like he's got a shot.

He's got an absolute shot. He has had years going into Augusta, where he hadn't played in months, where all kinds of stuff had gone on, and he shows up and finishes top five and has a chance to win. So just get us to Augusta. Let us show a couple positive signs.

There was a 66 in there from last week. Love that. We post four of those in Augusta. We're going to fucking dust everybody. So I feel pretty good. I feel fine. As long as he's healthy, that man can win in Augusta Nash.

Watching every round, like it's Tiger's last round, round is a stressful way to watch golf, I will say. But you have to do it. That's not how I view it, but it's true ultimately, but that is a dark and a little sad and stressful way to watch golf. Well, you got to do that with things in life sometimes. You got to sit with.

That's Frank's your brand to watch golf that way. Yeah, you got to live and die with every single swing. Like you just, and you got to do that with everything, man. Like next time I go on a golf course, maybe that's the last time I go to golf course. It's a dark way to think about the world, but like, hey, it's a, better way to think about it because you enjoy it more. I enjoyed watching the golf yesterday because I was like, oh, maybe, you know,

Tiger's fucking at Sherwood. Am I ever going to see Tiger at Sherwood again? No. Maybe it's the last time I'm going to see him play at this golf tournament. Who knows? You don't know. I know it's a little bit dark thinking, but enjoy every moment. He's not, he's not retarded. You don't know. You don't know. We don't know. Do you know? It sounds like you know.

I don't know. That's why I'm going to take it with it. I'm going to enjoy every ounce of Tiger Woods from now until we don't have Tiger Woods anymore. sure. I agree with that. As if it's the last time I'm ever going to see him. What do millions of Americans and three former U.S. presidents have in common? Anybody know? I don't think I know. What was that question? What do millions of Americans and three former United States presidents have common? Boy, oh boy. I don't know the answer to this. That's way too vague for me. well i'm going to tell you they all agree that bull and branch sheets are the softest and most

comfortable pure organic cotton right on me it was right on the tip of my tongue on earth i know you guys were close you guys were thinking about it um and i got you there bow and branch cotton is a rain fed pesticide free and carries the highest organic certification that is why it's so soft because they work with family owned mills all over the world who expertly weave every set of Bowen Branch Sheets with the highest level of craftsmanship, it delivers quality you can feel the moment you open the box. This is what we use. This is what we've always used. Hopping into a very comfortable bed is perhaps the best part of life. I have often said that the single best part of the day for me is when I get into bed. That is just, it's relieving. It's very comfortable. It's

just a moment when you know that you're about to charge up, you're about to recover, you maybe throw on your favorite show, you kind of chill with yourself for an hour or so, and you just relax. And you want that experience to be the best that it can be. That is why we use bowl and branch. They sell. Fantastic. I, I, I'm, I'm drenched in Bowling Branch on my bed. I've got the sheets. I've got the bottom, the, the, the, um, so you get the, the, the bed sheet that goes across it's really hard to it's really hard to get on there i've had struggles with that like the corners you got to get the corners on but once you get on there that's what any sheets though i mean that's just oh i've ever watched some of these people fold those bed sheets

oh my god you know the one that has like the fucking it's got the it's it's got the grips on the corners right like elastic yeah there there's no way of of folding that if you're a regular the human, but there's ways of doing this that people can fold it into a nice little box. It's crazy. Oh, yeah, it just looks like a blob. Just a blob usually because it's got the elastic that bunches everything up, but there's people that have figured out how to fold it. It's incredible. I have that on there. I got the elastic and then I have the other sheets. And then when you put that underneath your comforter, you're just, you know when you go to a hotel and everything just feels correct? Like, oh, this is how a bed's supposed to be made. When you have bowling branch,

it feels like that kind of bed. Like if you just make it, if you tuck the sheets in, and then you untucking with your feet and like you're in there and bed and you're rustling around. It's a good feeling and they're super soft, man. I don't know what you said about that rain fed stuff, but whatever they're doing to these things, it's correct. Like they're doing it to right. Do you want me to hit you with that again, Frank? Yeah, they're feeding it with rain.

They are feeding the cotton with rain. They are not feeding it with pesticide and it carries the highest organic certification.

So that's pretty all that anybody needed to hear on that front. Roy McElroy showed up yesterday wearing a hoodie. Really shouldn't be a story. Who cares? Hoodies do look.

I think they look great in the golf course. If it's not your style, then just don't wear one. Who really cares? There's been over the last month or so, old man golf has reared its sad little head and been anti-h hoodie on a few different occasions. I even see people still in the replies usually always, always that are writing anonymously on Twitter. They're like, Twitter eggs as we've known to call them. That are like, well, you can't show up to this course wearing a hoodie. It's like, oh, go fuck yourself, you loser.

Maybe if you did show up wearing a hoodie, you'd be a much more happy, enjoyable, normal person with a little bit of style. So Rory, I thought, look great with the rain is the backdrop, cloudy, rainy day. And he's out there in that, like, fucking grayish white Nike hoodie. He looked fucking great. I hope that Tiger Woods shows up to Augusta and wears some sort of revolutionary Nike hoodie, like a thin, maybe almost looks like a collared sweater, but then it has a nice little hood on the back.

Because it's like Augusta in November, he says it's a little chilly. He likes to be warm when he plays. He doesn't like the cold weather. and I he's always made his statement at Augusta I feel like like wearing the mock neck and and getting away with the turt with the collar shirt he was always rustling feathers when it came to his outfits he had the crazy fucking pants like the the baggy ass pants that looked like at any moment he can get like swooped away he's always made statements when it comes to his outfits some good some bad some incredible some really bad when he was younger

and I just hope that someone if it's not him someone someone just just get old Bob Harrog and all these other guys. Get them going. Get them going at Augusta because it's a new Augusta. I want to see stuff like that. I want to see a hoodie. I want to see, like, you think Kiz is going to rock his little fucking beanie hat at Augusta National when he's like on his practice rounds? Like that would be an outrageous look. But also, it's like, who cares? That's fucking awesome. It's Augusta in November. Like, yeah, go rock your little pom-pom hat with your two little balls hanging off your years. somebody tiger coming up 18 in augusta with a red like hootie on winning

oh oh oh you can't be awesome just fucking awesome just out there for a stroll amongst the leaves on a november fall day winning another major i really can't believe i you said it right rigs at the beginning where can't believe this is a story. The fact that we even have conversations that start with, well, some people are opposed to wearing goodies on the golf course makes me want to jump off a fucking bridge. What the fuck are we talking about? I can't believe. And it makes me think that Rory caught wind of those arguments on the internet and it was like, I'm going to throw one of these studies on just to shut these idiots up. So we don't have to talk about this anymore. And, you know, the sooner we

don't have to have these conversations, the better. Just wear whatever you want. It's five. And Rory's the best guy to do it because he looks the best in everything he does. Correct. Yeah, especially, yeah, I'm going off course. There was Tiro Hatton won a week or two ago on the European tour, wearing a hoodie, like the whole fucking weekend and when he won. So it's pretty obvious now if you're not, if you're against that trend, you're a loser. That's just, that's pretty simple.

I got a quick story. So I was home this past weekend with a wedding to go to a bunch of my friends. And my brother and his boy, J.R., who qualified for the Barstool Classic Championship, by the way, they'll be in Piner. They're playing last week. They're telling me the story. They're playing last week. And they're playing on opposite teams, two-on-two matched on opposite teams.

And they get to, I think it's a 14th hole. And it's like a lot of trouble all over the place. They had a really good match. My brother's team was four to Allen through Sabbath, and they come back, and they're all square on the 14th tee. And my brother goes and hits one out of play. Next two guys go, hit one out of play. Fourth guy up is our friend, J.O.

He steps up with a driver. and there's a road right behind the T. And he gets to the top of his back swing, and they said the most perfectly timed horn honk in the history of timing things on earth is this guy driving by an escalate by himself, in the car alone, by the way, just slams on the horn at the top of our friend J.R.'s back swing,

and he says he comes down, hits five inches behind the ball with his driver, dribbles it out of play. now they're standing on the T. And J.R. is like, ha, ha, I get to hit again, right? And they're like, well, yeah, you can take a two-strump penalty and hit again if you want. Well, like, no, you don't get a free,

you don't get another tip. Like, that's not, we didn't honk the horn. What do you want us to do? So turn into a little bit of a debate. He ended up winning the hole with, like, double anyways. And again, I don't think he was, like, a huge bitch about it. But they talked about it after, like, a little bit of a disagreement about, like, what would you do in that situation?

situation, would you allow the guy to hit again, or is it just a tough luck? The guy do it on purpose? Oh, yeah. They said the guy was like fist bumping after. I think you let him do it again. Yeah, my opinion would be if he's doing it on purpose to purposely fuck with you, I think that you get to retee. If it's, if somebody, you know, came in front of the guy and it's just natural and then

the guy honked the horn, like that's just light. that's what it is. You don't get to retry, but the guy is driving by like, oh, I hope somebody's teeing off right now. He's like, oh, they are. And he does it. That's, that's malice. And I think you love the guy to do it again. Also, someone's deliberately trying to make you mess up, which gives you a disadvantage in the match that you're playing against your friends. So at that point, you should be able to retee. Like, someone is picking you out personally to have a disadvantage while playing that game. So, yeah, I think in a friendly match, you have to let him hit again. I think, like this was in the Barstall Classic, I think he's just small.

I think that sucks. I think that's tough luck. So, yeah, my brother said, so my brother wouldn't let him re-teat. My brother was like, my brother was like, if we were just having a friendly match, no money on the line, fine. He can re-tee. He's like, but when you're playing for money, like, rules are rules. I don't know what you want me to do is tough luck. He said they were on the ground.

laughing. It was the funniest thing we've ever witnessed. And then he, you know, he ended up winning the hole anyway. So my brother afterwards was like, well, yeah, now I wish I would have just let him reeked because we ended up losing the hole anyways. Right. But yeah,

well-time. Yeah, exactly. A well-timed horn honk. Like, I've definitely heard people try it many times, but I don't know that I've seen it really work before. Yeah, I was going to say that I feel like we all, or at least I did, there was the golf course that has the roads all around it. It was Twin Pines back in Cedar Rapids. And it was something you had to look out

for when you were on the holes that were along the road. You just sort of waited and you looked around. You waited for nobody to be coming. And then you went. But I didn't ever see it work. I agree. People would try, but it would never land the right way. Sometimes they're too late or too early. And they just said this one was, I mean, it clearly, like, right behind him, laid it on hard. And the guy was just, like, loving it as he drove by. And my brother said that they like flick them off, but then they were also in tears laughing. And it was just quite the scene. So again, he ended up winning the hole anyway, so good for him on that front.

Okay, we got a couple from the galleries to get to you really quickly. And I just watched that fucking wrestler break his legs in him. And I accidentally, like I accidentally watched it. And I don't ever want to see anything like that for the rest of my life. Yeah, I saw that last night. And I bet a couple people in here probably haven't seen it. And, you know, just don't watch it. His legs, his legs and knees bend like a deck of cards.

It's awful. I saw that. And that is, that's some, like, remember that, what was that box kicking or whatever that thing that happened a couple years ago? What does that call? Kickboxing. Thank you. Where they both, like, met shins and then he stepped back on.

I just totally forgot out with the sport. Box kicking. Was that, was that, did that guy play ball basketballing? ball basking? I deserve all this. Anything else? Get your jobs and they're free right now. Box kicking.

Ball base? That's a video I will never watch. That man's legs breaking in half. I will not watch it. It'll creep up on you because you don't know what's about to happen. So to make sure that you're not going to watch it, it's a guy jumping off the water. What do they call that?

A turnbuckle. He's an all black and it's like a backyard wrestling thing. So just look out for it. I mean, that guy can never walk again, right? I don't know. did you guys see the KFC radio tweet this morning from the

with like it was like yeah the the subtle light you know switch at the end of this video that scared the fucking shit on me yeah that's fucking Joey Lang going again man that guy's a motherfucker some people are just like Twitter terrorists

where you don't know what's you just they lure you in like oh look at this subtle light change by this editor and you're like oh I'll watch that why not got nothing else to do. And then a guy comes running at the screen, you're like, fuck this. I really, yeah, I went, ah! I like that.

It was terrifying. You know who's one of the funniest people on Twitter is that little, is that fucking little Sasquatch kid? Mm-hmm. He works at Barso if anyone doesn't know, we got a bunch of these fucking viral tweeters now. He, his, his sense of humor is so fucking funny to me. I laugh at almost every single tweet he puts out.

He is very funny. He's very young. He's from, like, a different Twitter generation. but it's very, he sits right behind me at the office. He's got the death guy. And he's a very quiet, very nice guy. But then the tweets he puts out are so weird, but they are so, so, so funny.

The other day, who else is watching this debate with their fucking cock out right now with a laughing emoji? And I don't know why. That just makes me laugh so hard. Like, who else is watching this debate with their fucking cock out right now? And it gets 14,000 likes. Like, this dude just knows, he just knows what funny is.

Yeah. He's very good. Yeah. All right. For play of arts for sports.com for the, from the gallery, I should have a little seed in my mouth there. Four from the gallery sentence.

Make sure the subject title, please, is from the gallery, and then I'll read it. And if it's good, we will discuss it. Nolan says, do you guys think Jordan Speed

has already won his last major? I think we've talked about this before. We're like, at some point he's got to get back, but it's been a pretty fucking bad stretch of golf for Jordan Speeth, Jordan Spath, I do want to say that I think that he's probably not won his last major. I think he'll win one more.

I mean, he's just too damn young and two in the mix to just not win another major. Dude, there's no way. He's 27 right now. I think in five years he's barely going to be, he's going to be 32. Like, we're going to be living in a different world in five years. People always look at these things with a very small scope where, yeah, he's playing bad right now. And it has been a really bad stretch for quite a while. it's been the worst stretch of his career.

But two years from now, three years from now, it's just going to be a whole different world. So to put a cap on it right now and say, Jordan Spieth, an incredibly talented golfer, was never going to win another major. It would be insane. The odds are completely against it. Yeah.

I agree. George Spiegel absolutely went another major. I would say he'll win two or three more. I think he gets to five or six. Like he's a very, he's a generational talent. He came on the scene of high. We won the masters at a very young age and will continue to. I mean, he's got these three legs of the career grand slam.

So I think that him being only as young as he is, we forget a lot. Like Trent, the fact that you just said he's got five years of a playing career, and then he'll only be 32, which like Phil Mickelson wasn't, well, he was 34 maybe when he won his first major. So, like, he's got all the time in the world to get it back. DJ, I think what, DJ was 31? And he's, Jordan's people legitimately has 20 years left of his career. In 20 years, he'll be 47 and likely still playing.

Like, it's one more major. Yeah, he's going to get at least one more. I think so. Just way too much in the mix. He knows how to do it. It's just about getting back there. He had a great round this way. I mean, he does this a lot, but I saw this court car.

He had five birdies, five birdies, and he shot two overpaw. So it was just like, It was birdie bogey, triple birdie, birdie, but it was awesome. This is a great scorecard. I will say right now, right now it's a nightmare in his brain. It's hell.

It's hell on earth inside that brain. He'll figure it out. He'll figure it out. Choosing the right retirement plan for your employees could be a complicated decision for busy small business owners. You got a lot on your plate. We all know that. Everybody understands that.

Next one, we've got Dustin who says, what is your biggest pet peeve on the golf course? Slow play not fixing ballmarks, etc. Anybody have one big... Slow play is a good one. I would almost say

that my biggest pet peeve is anybody on the golf course who has a lot of pet peeves. Anybody who is just a little too like, you know, like if you've got so many pet peeves and I notice it, that's my biggest pet peeve on the golf clubs.

Because other than that, I'm pretty, I mean, other than that, I'm pretty chill out there. Like slow play bothers everybody because you want to get done. You don't know. Nobody wants to play a six hour round. But, like, other than that, if you're out there just to have a good time, just fucking relax.

Yeah. I think my biggest pep peeve, like, there's two different versions of it. Like, one's, like, the group ahead of you. So, like, obviously, slow play comes into it. And then when guys are, like, reading greens as though they're in the fucking PGA championship and they're walking around the green, like, I know they're probably in a big match and they want to take it seriously. But if it's a six or seven hour round and we're at Eisenhower Red course and no one's out here shooting the fucking golf, Like the, no one's out of shooting the course record and like, I need to get home by a certain time.

It's either I leave the course on the 15th hole or you guys just stop reading greens like you're fucking, Camilo Villegas and like you're taking this, you're like getting down on the green. Like let's just fucking play the game. Just like move ahead. Don't act like what you see on TV like applies to your golf game. You're not a fucking pro. That's what pisses me on. Watch watch the shot that JT hit the other day.

like Frankie described and pretend that you're playing the same game that he's playing. You're not. So just let's keep it moving. Right. And then I guess in our group, it's like when you're in your group, I don't really know what pisses me off the most. I guess maybe when someone deliberate, when someone doesn't understand that them unvelkowing their glove or picking up their back, my buddy Kyle makes noise.

I must have a very, very sensitive way of hearing things because I always, always get like this like if we're at a dinner table or something with my family and they're talking I'm like you know everyone in the restaurant and hear us right like I always get so I mean that's my anxiety like I have massive massive anxiety about everything that happens in my life so like when someone's on the fucking when someone's on the on the on the D box and just willing willy nillingly just like unzipping their glove and like rummaging through their bag like I don't be like you don't hear the noise that's coming from you right now as this person like that doesn't I always said to people too.

Like I'll like mean, I'll say it in like a mean nasty way to like my parents. I'm like, you guys don't hear that noise that, like, am I the only one that hears the noise that you're producing or is it just me? Like I don't understand how you can't,

you don't know now. Like you can't understand now. And they're like, you're a fucking asshole. But like my buddy Kyle, I brought it up on the podcast. Like he just kept picking up his bag. Like you don't know that that makes a noise

and like we're playing with someone that doesn't want to hear that. And now when I get up to the T, I fucking waiting for it. I'm like, he's going to pick up his fucking bag. And I'm staying over the ball. I'm like, watch this. I'm going to take this back.

And those are not swing thoughts I should have when I'm trying to hit a golf ball. The anticipation of sound is usually worse than the sound itself. Yes, yes. Always worse than the sound itself. There's been a time where I've taken my club back and go, there it is. I'm like, there's fucking bag.

Boom. And then I shanky left. Somebody's like, no more Garcia-Para with their love. Exactly. Like, can we all just quiet down a little bit? I think I started that little ranc thing. I don't think I have any pet peeves. Yeah, you have almost everything I think that happens on the course is a pet peeve.

I think what Trent said is the goal. The goal should be you should have no pet peeves. Like you're out there just to have fun and enjoy yourself. So in theory, there should be no pet peeves. But I also know that that's not necessarily realistic. Everybody gets mad at like little things for sure. Right. I would say mine is poor golf cart management.

Like, I think, you know, someone will, like, park it 50 yards short of the green and then, like, run across and, like, not bring a club and then have to run back and then go, like, up and not bring the cart with it. And it's just like, it's always you as their partner that gets stuck. And you just have to deal with this person's, like, sloppy management of the cart all day long. That drives me fucking nuts. It's like, no, why? Or they'll just park. They'll park, like, 50 yards. behind the T-box.

I'm like, no, you can actually just drive right up next to it. Like, the car path is just right next to the T-box. Why are we all the way over here? And they're, I'd see if you can just walk. And I'm like, well, no, if we're going to walk, like, we wouldn't have taken a cart. So why are we, like, what are we doing parking? So that, over the course of Hitzing-holes, being stuck with someone who you think has poor cart management is probably my biggest pick.

I will say you are a nightmare to drive in a cart with because of that, because of that, like pet peeve, right? Like I there is no scenario which I want to be stuck driving that cart because I'm being judged about the way I drive that cart for five straight hours. And it's just better off to just be in the passenger seat. Like why? Yeah. Like for me, I'm like, well, now is this the right spot to park it? And like that's just not.

Yeah. Then you get like the yips about it. You're like, all right. Now I need to judge this entire area and figure out the best way. And I'm not thinking about playing golf because I know the person I'm driving with is probably going to be bad. Like that's happened to me once. I think we actually took the bag off. my the driver's side and rigs took over the cart because I couldn't take I couldn't

drive it anymore I like forgot how to hit the gas I was like I don't know I can't move this step forward anymore because you didn't like the way I brought it brought it up here so now I forgot how to do it so yeah that's definitely your pet peeve because I remember that I do remember I'm trying to remember what course that was that we did swap it was like just like I'm not I'm not gonna drive I just want you to drive and I'm just not gonna worry about it. Because I was worrying about it too much. I'm like, is this okay?

And you're like, well, no, you can go up further. I'm like, I'm not, I'm not good at this, I guess. So I need to get off. And I'm saying, I'll either carry or I'll get in the passenger seat. Oh, man, that's good. There's a lot of them out there. I'm sure people have tons of golf course. I will say, I think I used to probably have a lot more.

And then as you get more, I feel like we've all, not all, but like my progression has been to take golf less seriously for years and years. and get closer to a point of where Trent's at, where it's just like, no, no, we're all out there to have a good time. Because when you first start getting super in the golf, like you think it can be better than you really can. You think, like, when you're watching on TV and they go through this routine, and it's like,

oh, if I really go through that routine, focus, I can play really good golf. Then you realize eventually you just settle on who you really are. Like, oh, I just am what I thought I was the whole time, and you start to care less about a lot of the stupendul aspects of golf. So I would say, I think I probably have way less pet peeves now. that I did five or ten years. Yeah, and I think early on and then as you start to go along, you do think shooting a good number is the goal, and that is the goal,

but it's also not the goal. Like, you want to play well, but you don't want it to become the detriment of people around you or to yourself, where you're just like, you're taking it so seriously that you're just like, well, now I'm, like, driving myself crazy, and I'm not having fun anymore. So you have to balance it out where, yeah, I want to play well, and I want to shoot a low score. That's the goal.

But the other goal is to just like, we're outside, we're getting fresh air, we're playing a stupid fucking game like let's have a good time it's a delicate balance yeah and you you realize that like you're saying like no one else cares what you shot everyone else cares how fun you were or weren't to play golf that's correct right so if you're like once you now that's hard in the moment yeah I get it out of balance but as long as I'm fun that's not that's just not that easy to do all the time but you learn again as you go through the years over time as you mature out there, I would say that that's really the goal. So then it doesn't really make that much sense to have a ton of pet peeves,

but that's a little idealistic, like you said. Like everybody's got pet peeves about everything. It's just you can't really handle it. Yeah. Okay, that's it. That's all we got. I was actually a sneaky long show. So you guys are welcome.

Follow along in Bermuda all week. Gosslings rum, Bermuda Championship. We'll be back on Thursday for our second show of the week. Hit it hard. Hit it hard. Hit it hard.
