Let's talk some golf.
I would like to say, the St. Louis fucking Blues just won this Daily Cup.
52 years those motherfuckers have been in existence.
Never did we think that they would actually win the Stanley Cup,
the amount of years, the amount of times that my brother and all my
buddies and I spent chirping the management, saying, and being fucking frustrated as shit after they
losing the first round, the second round after being the best team on one of the top two or three
or four best teams in the regular season, and then they somehow have to be in the worst team in the
NHL on January 3rd, came back and won the Stanley fucking Cup.
We're not going to talk about it.
We do have Ryan Whitney on here.
He is, of course, have spit and chicklets.
Go listen to those guys.
They're hilarious.
Biznasty, R.A., Witt, Garnel, even that.
That guy.
I love that guy.
Because you guys won.
I'm going to be very nice right now.
I mean, we just want to fucking Stanley.
It's easy to be in a very good mood after a situation like that.
And we knew we were recording on a Wednesday night of game seven.
This could have been one way.
This podcast could have went one way or the other.
I'm actually happy that we're in good spirits because it could have been a fucking dark.
I kind of will say that if you weren't in good spirits, no matter what happened in the game with where we're at, you'd be kind of crazy because this is sick where we're at.
So do people know what's going?
We got Ryan Whitney in our backyard, and we are staying in a mansion.
We talk about it.
I can't remember if we talked about it last show or not.
There is a fucking, like a fire, like lava fire.
Yeah, this place is legit.
Right next to your head right now.
This is very legit.
And for Witt to say something like us, you like, you pride yourself on like class.
Well, you still have $30.
You started in here like a little child.
I was holding.
I was taking pictures like a fan boy of the house.
The house is nice.
There's a pool.
There's a hot tub.
There's a million.
rooms. The thing I'm most impressed by is the dinners
that we keep getting. It's catered out.
We had tides today.
Soup. Tye soup.
That is what Whitney called it. There's a man
that walks into the house. He just walks in.
He doesn't knock on the door. He doesn't ring. He just
opens the door and he has an entire
thing of food, a buffet for us. We walk in.
We had steak.
We had asparagus wrapped with
filet mignon around it.
Are you fucking kidding me? And the blues one of the stand of the cup.
Riggs is having himself an even. And we're
two miles away from Pebble Beach.
Many people are saying on Twitter
that they better start betting on Tiger Woods
and Kevin Kisner to win the United States Open
because Tiger won the fucking Masters.
Pebble Beach defeated Dave Portno
and the Morgon Challenge. The St. Louis Blues
just won the first Stanley Cup in franchise
fucking history. It's a great
time to be alive. I also got to say we're in just
one of those areas of the country where people
just don't lock things.
You can just walk into our house.
Well, I will say there was a gate to get in that was
taking me a little while in the car.
But other than that, once you're
you're in, you're in.
It's like you get into the neighborhood,
you can walk in anyone's house.
We heard that Clint Eastwood used to be the mayor of this town.
I didn't know until years ago
when I went to Pebble Beach for the first time
that he's like a part owner of Pebble Beach, I believe.
That's why they wheel him out there every year.
I know, and he talks on the CBS broadcast for four hours.
What's the impression, Trent?
They put him next to,
they put him next to Nansen Follow every year.
They wheel him out there.
And he's just,
rah,
that's it.
That's it.
That's it.
And then all you do,
as you see the video of him, like,
going down, like almost falling in with the whole,
Hold it on to the other guys.
You're like, dude, Clint, enough.
They do a spiel with him where he's there for a good two minutes and he's like as engaged as he can be.
And they keep him out there for an hour and he's just staring off and to still want to go for fucking 55 minutes.
He's just to sleep with his eyes open so they just don't know what to do.
Nancy would be like, you know what we're talking about Clinton?
They'd be like, we are right.
All right.
We are live from Pebble Beach.
The reason we're out here.
And again, we're not going to talk about hockey.
You should go listen to spit and shiglets.
Big, big, big episode right now out.
We'll recap everything.
Game seven is over the state.
Stanley Cup playoffs, Santa Cup final.
All that's over.
I don't know if you heard, but the Blues won the Stanley Cup.
We're on to next year.
Whitney, the boys, they're all going to talk about that.
Sorry about your...
We're on the next year.
I love the end of the Stanley Cup because, like, no one cares about this season now.
We're on to next year.
I'm already thinking about free agency.
Well, I mean, people care.
I mean, we just want the Cup.
It's all right.
Go listen to checklets.
They're great.
We got Witt on.
Thank you for your time, Whitney.
So we got a lot of shit going on.
We've been out here for three days now.
We're going to be doing live radio tomorrow.
We're doing a run down tomorrow, live in Pebble Beach.
We got a fucking booth that is on the 18th.
Just past the 18th green overlooks the ocean, the cove.
It's an insane, insane setup.
We're going to be doing the rundown Thursday Friday.
Wait, wait until you see this setup at this.
It's outrageous.
It's crazy.
Think of the view of 18.
We have that with our entire setup.
It's essentially our backdrop is the nicest backdrops in the history of the world.
I would say when the weather's nice here, and Justin Thomas said this to me yesterday, not to brag.
Justin Thomas said this to me while we were walking inside the road to them.
He goes, when the weather's like this, and it was about 74 degrees in sunny yesterday,
maybe four mile an hour wind, maybe three.
He said to me, he goes, when the weather's like this, there's no better place to be on Earth,
and he said it never gets old, which is cool to hear from a guy like Justin Thomas,
who's a top 10 player on planet Earth, that he's walking down.
It was down the fourth fairway walk.
Remember that moment, Frank?
Yeah.
And he says, there's no better place to be on planet Earth than this right now.
He goes, it never gets old.
I would be willing to argue, though, that he said that, like, walking down, like, 10 at Augusta, too.
Like, it's almost like there's a couple places where you've been, but yes, in my opinion, it's top five at least.
And I remember being out there, you don't really understand because the first couple holes you're inland, and then three, you start getting into the ocean, and then four, you're on it, and then you're off.
And then all of a sudden, the finishing holes that aren't on the ocean, they're still sick as well.
So it's, it is the coolest place with the finish being perfect.
so I'm looking forward to seeing this studio.
Four hits you like a ton of bricks.
Yeah, four is just right in your face.
Three you do get like, all right, like something's here.
And then you like turn that corner on four.
FD shot, you're like, holy fucking shit.
Now there is differences between nice courses and like scenic courses.
Like Augusta is the best golf course in the world.
But like if you're going to talk to,
if you're going to talk about standing on like the six green
overlooking like six and seven,
that just takes Augusta and puts it like that.
Like that view, you can't, you're standing on the edge of the earth.
Yeah.
Like you can't recreate that unless you're at Pebble Beach.
Like you can technically recreate Augusta because you just need like the amenities and like the grass and the fucking, you need someone to build.
You can't build Pebble Beach, is what I mean.
It's a great point.
It's a great point, Frank.
Frank, you're making a lot of sense.
I will say Pebble is a very interesting place in that you walk in, right?
And you know all the hype.
And especially in today's day and age.
Like we've played the fucking golf course on the video game.
Yeah.
What?
700 times.
You've played Pebble Beach on the video game.
You've watched Tiger win there.
You've watched the highlights of that from 2000, from 2001 by 15.
Even Graham McDowell.
You've watched fucking Jack Nicholas hit the pin on 17 with a one iron.
Like Tom Watson chipping in on 17.
Like you've seen all the highlights.
You know the place.
You walk in almost expecting to be underwhelmed.
As to like, it can't live up to the height.
And then when you get out there, the first hole is relatively speaking.
The worst hole.
It's a fucking nothing.
Just like they got one and then 17 are great ones.
People will argue.
that they're all great, but one sucks.
But then you're off.
I love the second hole.
One kind of stakes.
It's kind of a weird D-shot.
Like, you're kind of between do you rip driver and wrist going out of play and hit it over the
trees?
Do you hit like a four iron off the tee if it's a little bit downwind?
Like, what the fuck do you do on one weird hole?
The second shot on two is one of the hardest shots.
Two is a part-two-six.
It's part four.
Yeah, so it's par-sev-seven-one here.
One, you'll just see guys rip their driving irons for it.
I mean, I don't necessarily think a lot of guys will be ripping driver.
at one. But then two, yeah, I mean, that's like, yeah, an easy part five for these guys,
but still a monster par four. I mean, a lot of them, it isn't, but still for the regular
guy and there's plenty of those dudes in the U.S. Open, that's a beast of a par four.
The second, the green at two, and it's also like covered by trees and like that little
ravine in the middle. It looks no joke from your second, from where your drive lands,
it looks like it's a 30 foot. Which hole did DJ have the meltdown on?
Two. It was two, right?
Yeah, he was in, he hit it just short right above that bunker on two.
And he tried to go like lefty chunked out of that.
Yombed it like he did.
I thought that was too.
That was quick in the round.
He blew that.
All kinds of wild shit or something.
So how about yesterday where when we walked with the group yesterday was Cantlay, Kiz, JT, and Speed.
They're having a money game.
They're having a good time.
They're chit-chatting.
And we fucking meet up with kids, who's obviously he was on the show on Tuesday.
He's the man everybody knows all about Kevin Kisner.
We watch him.
we meet up with him on 4T.
He burdys four, five.
He's got an eagle bid on six from 15 feet, barely misses, taps him from birdie, and then
birdie seven.
So he's 40, 5, 6, 7, par's 8 and 9.
And I'm like, what the fuck's going on here?
Are you really going to, are you playing?
You're going to go this low here?
First of all, he's like, I like, I like the course, all that.
And he said that on the last show.
But he's like, well, you missed that.
I bogeed two.
And I was like, oh, how'd the other guys do?
He goes, fucking can't lay and J.T.
Have the hole of birdies with three.
That's just.
It's when you
526 par 4
When you name, well
I mean they're hitting it
JT probably hit it
340
And then what's your approach out
I'm a pretty good math guy
180
And he's got
And he's hitting 8 or 9
And it's like just a different sport
Incredible math
That force some you mentioned
That was
You told me that earlier
What?
I was great
I'm a big time math guy
But uh
I
Checklets listeners will know
But I
Uh
You told me this right when I got in
And pebble's not the longest
course in the world
And so like Kisner
could win. Would you be surprised at all to see Kisner
in the hunt? Like, I know he's your boy, but
you guys all love him. That guy could win here.
We got some DMs of guys locking
in bets like earlier in the weeks.
150 to 1 on Kevin Kisner.
Really? I mean, way early, right?
Wow. I mean, speech to...
Even this morning, Jake, our producer looked at
he had a book at like 99 to 1.
It's crazy. How the fuck is my... I got him at
22 when I was excited. I texted.
I texted Glennie Balls.
Because I got through...
It was 100 to 1. Yeah, so books right now of Kevin Kisner
I'm going to check my site as we talk.
But you know what?
What am I on the fucking?
You know what I'm?
I'm a 404 purgages in a row.
I feel very good about it.
You can go really low, really quick.
You know what else is really cool about the U.S. Open being out here?
It's not just pebble, but on the west coast is when you're back east, prime time, golf's sick.
Yeah.
So tomorrow, first round, I mean, today you guys are all listening Thursday.
Tigers team off at 530 Eastern.
Dude, watch that hanging out at night.
Like, I just think that's sick.
And Sunday the finish will be at that time.
I remember when Webb Simpson won an Olympic.
It was late at night, and I thought it was cool.
Dude, I remember when, and I told the story a couple times, but I'll tell it again,
when Speed won at Chambers Bay, my buddy and I were a little hungover in the morning on Sunday,
and he was like 3 to 1, I think, at that moment, going into Sunday the final round.
And we just, again, we're hung over, we kind of forgot about the Pacific, the time difference,
all that, because it was up in the Seattle area.
We bet combined, like, we had a decent amount of money left, or we bet like 800 bucks combined
on Speed at 3 to 1 to win the U.S.
us open and we bet it at like 10 a.m.
And we were thinking, all you tee off at like one or two.
That's usually what they do in the majors.
Well, it was fucking West Coast.
They teed off at 6, like 30.
Yeah.
6 p.m.
Yeah.
We were like, what the fuck.
So we had to figure out what to do by the time speed teed off.
We were toast.
By time fucking DJ three jacked on the 70 second hole to lose the tournament.
Yep.
We were cooked.
We were on another planet going crazy.
I didn't know to cheer.
You didn't know to like cry.
Like, what are you supposed to do?
We just won like $2,000.
But also DJ just three jagged.
It was a wild thing, but you're right.
East Coast, it's awesome.
West Coast.
It feels really weird.
I mean, we just watched the Stanley Cup final game seven, which the St.
Louis Blues One.
I don't know if you guys saw that.
The game started at five.
It ended at like 7.45.
All the clips of you going crazy were in the broad daylight because it was the middle of the day.
In the legit, nice.
When they brought the cup out, I was like shielding like the sun from my eyes.
It was a bizarre feeling.
It was weird.
Yeah.
It's just a weird thing.
I love California.
I love the West Coast.
This is like the second time.
the first time out here was when we played pebble on media day.
Everything about it is great except the time difference.
I like watching primetime golf.
I agree with that.
Like at the beginning of the year with the Hawaii stretch,
watching that late at night is awesome.
But what's the best time zone to watch sports in?
Oh, that's a good one.
I think it's central.
West Coast is pretty legit.
I think it's sick to have football on at 10 in the morning.
Like, you're just getting up.
You got games.
Boom.
You're in one.
And then the late game.
And you don't have to stay up as late.
The late game, I can't stay up.
know, unless I've really hammered the game, which usually is the case because I'm down so much
that week, and it's the chaser game.
But Central is good, too.
Yeah, game started six for you guys, right?
So, I mean, I don't know.
Either way, this week is going to be sick here.
I hope that Sunday night it comes down to just a couple of studs, which I think it will.
I mean, Tiger, he could win here easily.
You saw what he did before.
You saw him smash all the records, and then the way he's hitting it right now.
And I like how we practiced today.
Remember the Wednesday before when he missed the cut at Bedpage?
He didn't do anything.
I think he was hurt.
He said he was sick.
So now, I mean, he probably didn't want that to be the case, but he seems coughing when you guys were chatting with him, no?
So we got a couple things to say about that.
One, you're right.
Like him being out there today, he also did his little thing in his presser on Tuesday where he was like,
you're kind of groan about why aren't you practicing today because he took his name off the board.
And he said, I like to see, I like to wait and see the course like when it's ready.
and he all the time, all the time is a big proponent of saying,
like the course on Sunday and Monday just isn't the same golf course that you see on Thursday
and on Friday.
And they fucking talk all the time and none of us know what this means, right?
Like to us on TV it looks the same on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
The course looks pretty much identical.
But Tiger always harps on how Thursday to Friday to Saturday to Sunday,
the course is a wildly different golf course.
And so he kind of stuck to that and he was out there today.
We followed him.
I mean, there was a marine layer, which rolled in.
That's fog.
What's the difference between fog and room layer?
I think marine layer is like the smart term for fog.
I mean, it was foggiest shit.
I'm like, look at this fog.
He's like, actually, it's a marine.
When I would get fog back home in Iowa,
we would be like, this is the marine layer rolling in.
You didn't live in a marine environment.
You get fog in Iowa trend?
You're a lot.
Right, that's what I mean.
So it's, I heard some disparity.
He's making it sound like it's interchangeable.
I know this isn't an Iowa podcast.
I'm trying to go.
But you guys are acting like, you guys are calling like a.
No, you guys are calling like a tornado and a hurricane the same thing.
You call it fog in Boston?
Like marine layer and fog are different.
Oh, so I didn't know that.
I actually never even heard of Marine Layers.
Well, I've learned about it 12 hours ago.
Hey, I got a, I got a DM this.
This is a little sad to read.
You're reading fucking DMs right now.
From Jacob.
Frankie, Trent lied again on the podcast.
The John Deere Classic isn't even in the Quad Cities.
I live in the Quad Cities.
and the John Deere Classic is in Silvis, Illinois.
I feel bad for blasting him, but it had to be done.
Silvis isn't a part of the block TV.
You know what?
I respect that kid.
What the fuck do you have to say about that, Trent?
I've been claiming this as an Iowa tournament.
I don't claim it as an Iowa tournament.
Every time we were talking about it, I never claimed it as an Iowa tournament.
I knew it's in Silvesto.
No, I wouldn't watch Jim Reddenma.
It might as well be a year.
It was in the Quad Cities.
What do you have to say about that?
Quad Cities isn't all Iowa.
It's Iowa and Illinois.
You don't get to pick any four cities you want.
Is Silvis in the Quad Cities?
Apparently not.
So you're wrong and you're a compulsive water.
I never claimed it as an Iowa tournament.
That was the admission of Gillard.
That's it.
I never claimed it as an Iowa tournament.
It's just near where I'm from.
It might be on the East Coast.
The John Beer isn't in Iowa?
No.
I would have.
I thought that was the whole connection with Zach Johnson playing.
Thank you.
It's not.
We all did.
Wow.
It's like an hour from Cedar Rapids.
An hour.
It's not that far.
Well, an hour away from New York City's like fucking the Jersey
buried.
different things. Why? It's two very different things. I'll say an hour away from New York City
or still in New York City. I've been there. No, you're not. You're still in traffic at
hour. Okay. It's a traffic joke. But technically an hour away travel time is like Connecticut,
New Jersey, Connecticut, New Jersey, Long Island. We're driving and you can't fucking get anywhere.
I can be in Pennsylvania in an hour. Let me tell you guys a story about the geography podcast.
Let's talk about Cameron McCormick. Most guys have tried different ways to last long
but thinking about golf or butterknife in your chips.
Okay.
Doesn't always work.
It doesn't.
Is that in the copy?
Yes.
That's really mean.
The folks at Roman and online men's health company are changing the game with Roman swipes
the secret to longer lasting sex.
I got to say, longer lasting sex is very cool.
I love longer lasting sex.
Me too.
It's super cool.
Roman swipes are a clinically proven way to last longer.
they're effective, easy to use,
and fast acting,
but don't require a prescription.
Roman can ship swipes.
That's a tough thing to say.
To you in discreet,
unmarked packaging,
and each swipes packet
is small enough to hide in your wallet
for whenever you need it.
I'd actually prefer the packaging
to show it that I'm getting it.
I want my neighbors to know
what's going on.
Long sex.
In case there's anybody
might want to go to sleep right now?
In case there's anybody nearby
that's like,
I'm looking to have some longer sex.
I want them to know my house is the one.
That guy has long sex.
Yes, yes.
Swipes are great.
They will not transfer to your partner.
Wow, that guy is going to have long sacks that will not transfer to me.
So you can last longer without worrying.
They're super easy.
That's what the copy says.
They're super easy to use.
Just take the swipes out of the packets, swipe it on and let it dry, and you are good to go.
That's it.
When you go to get Roman.com slash four, you can get your first month of swipes for just $5
when you choose a monthly plan
if you use the link, getRoman.com slash 4 again.
That's getRoman.com slash 4.
Okay.
Listen to this one.
This is amazing.
Well, it's scary.
So we had a little, so again,
yesterday, this is the group.
We talked about it.
Fourth T-Box, right?
It's fucking Jordan Spay.
Yep.
JT.
Patrick Cannell and Kisner.
Has Speed been on with you guys?
No, but he loves our, he loves y'all stuff.
He loves our stuff.
Okay.
Love you all.
All right, keep going.
Love y'all.
We're making waves with him.
You're getting in there.
Well, this story kind of put us back a little bit.
Just wait.
That's why I said.
We might have had a major setback.
Something down.
For a major cutback.
Roller coaster.
So what happened was, you know, we, we knew they were good boys are coming through.
We're standing on 4T.
Between 3 and 4, there's like a tiny little walkway, and they all kind of come through
and everybody disperses, and then you get into your position and they fucking tee off.
Well, speed's getting ready to tee off on 4.
And the 4th T also has 17th T.
all connected.
It's kind of a cluster fuck.
It's a cluster fuck.
There's netting on top of it.
Nobody knows where you can walk.
You actually made the comment.
Rags like,
you don't know what's going to happen
during tournament play.
Like these T-boxes,
when a guy's T-O-4 and a guys T-O-17,
their back swings may touch.
That's how close it is.
Oh.
I know I'm being dramatic,
but it's that fucking close, man.
Yeah, but all they do is they say,
hey, you three guys go,
and then we're going to go,
and they stand there and wait.
It's just funny to see, like,
in person, you never would notice that on TV.
Ever.
We're trying to bring the tournament to life.
Yeah, we are.
Give me McCormick.
Because we're inside the ropes.
So, we're fucking sitting there, and I'm standing basically directly behind speed,
as he's teeing off on four.
And there's a little photographer.
What do you hit off that tea?
Driving iron.
They all, dude, they're all in, this was crazy.
So we watched two groups come in before.
They all hit irons, right?
Four, for anybody out there listening?
Four is what, 320, 3.30, Ocean on the right,
which is basically out of play.
I think it's hazard.
But it's a huge cliff.
down. Anything that misses a little right
they shave everything down, you're gone.
And there's bunkers left in the fairway.
Left and fairway rough, devastating, tiniest green you've ever seen.
So you got to hit the fairway.
Almost everybody hits a little driving iron.
Well, it turns out it was
Kiz and Kantley against Spieth and J.T.
In a money game.
And so they fucking roll up.
And kids told me this afterwards.
I go, hey, or JT told me this after.
I go, hey, how come you guys hit driver there?
He goes, money game.
He goes, we rolled up.
We saw fucking Kiz and Kahneman.
all pulled driver so and we had the honor on the T's so me and uh Jordan all pulled driver I will say
oh rip driver right at the green right down short kids hit one like 10 yard 20 yard short of the green
chipped it to like an inch made an easy birdie and and won the hole I think so anyways stand on the
t j t or uh jordan walks up pulls driver I'm right behind him I got a little photographer guy is like
down on one knee between me and the guy to my right hefty fella he needed help like maneuvering himself
Just a shot at him.
I respect that.
Yeah.
Well, you've got to set the scene.
Or else he would have been out,
what you're about to hear,
he would have been out to do himself.
Hefty fellow.
He's just to my right.
All of a sudden,
Cameron McCormick,
who is Jordan Spee's guy.
He's coach from fucking day one.
Very serious guy.
Australian, mate.
Right?
I think he is.
I just kind of made that up.
Actually, I don't know.
I just agree with you.
I don't know.
I think he's from, like, Dallas, Texas.
I think.
I was good said.
I'm sure he's from,
like next door neighbors of speech growing up
I think he's from Transylvania.
Somebody looked that up. I think Cameron McCormick is
from like Dallas Texas.
Anyways, we didn't realize in real time that it was
it was Cameron McCormick. We just didn't
realize it. He legitimately looked like an average media
guy just jumped in the way.
Next thing you know, the little photographer
hefty fellow on my right taps me on the leg
and goes, hey, can you tap that guy to slide over left?
And I just instinctually
tap Cameron McCormick.
just as like a
hey shimmy on over buddy
this guy's trying to get a shot of Jordan's
right this guy's actually said like
hey
can you just move over to the side
you said that out loud you said can you
is that true Trent you did I swear
I don't think that's a lot of things were happening
it does not seem like you're making
this up bro you game like a can you just
I fucking tapped him I didn't say a word
to him dude you tell you said can you just
you did you did
whether you said or not you tapping him
said that's what you wanted him to do
So regardless, hefty photographer taps me, says, can you tap him and just move him on an inch?
I say, I just panic and I'd tap Karen McCormick.
Didn't realize it was camera.
Cameron McCormick, who was an incredibly intense fellow, just turns.
He's got more sunscreen on his face.
He looks like a white walker.
He really does.
He doesn't rub it in.
He doesn't really?
That's more common.
I feel like you see a lot of people.
He looks like to tell him, hey, you didn't rub it in it.
The sun was reflecting off his face and like sun burning the sun.
That's how much fucking sunscreen this guy had.
So he's white like who's the fucking guy with Halloween movies?
Michael Myers.
He looks like Mike Myers with how fucking white this guy is.
Turns around, looks at me.
Doesn't say a fucking word.
Looks right back at Spieth.
Gets his phone out.
He's recording Speed.
Immediately I realized, oh shit.
This is pretty serious.
Record in Speed.
Speed hits.
Then he, after Speed hits, he very casually and slowly.
He turns around, walks, does one quick step towards me.
He goes, what was that?
And I go, hey, this photographer just asked me to tap you and ask me to ask you to move a little bit.
Right on the bus.
Nobody's ever been throwing under the bus faster.
And he didn't say a fucking word.
Look me up and down.
Looked right at me.
Fuck you, buddy.
I didn't do anything.
The guy just wanted you to, like, move for a second.
He's fucking Mike Myers' face.
sunscreen in.
And he just turned back towards speed and then just walked away and didn't take.
say another fucking word to drive yet great he could win here it was a solid drive he's done shit
and so long it felt like well i will say his last three stars he finished in the top ten yeah i know
but like he hasn't won since the british right yes it's crazy to watch him a year and a half
a year we said this the pga we're like this guy's like in his own head and he goes with mccormick
and he's fucking like smack in his club like bad club like definitely has like a temper out there i
earlier in the year
he couldn't put together
like a string of four good rounds in a row.
He was playing great in the next stage
like 76. But now
it does seem like yeah he's figured something
out. PGA, what did he finish at the PGA?
Tide for third. Yeah, so
and we saw him at the PGA and he looked like he was
struggling while he practiced. But then like now
the more that we see of Jordan Speeith, we
notice that that's just the way he prepares. Yeah, all he talks
it out. He like, no,
joke, he hit an amazing
wedge shot. Like, we saw him on
I think it was on five
And when they were all chipping
And he hit in like an amazing wed shot at one point
And they had dropped like three or four balls
And I'm telling you he almost hold this thing out
And he looks back in McCormick
And he's like you see the way I came across
And he grabbed the grooves
And like McCormick said very
He's so fucking intense
He does that he'll hit and he'll turn around
Be like he'll turn on like did you see that
Like that's what we have to do on the next one
And then he misses it and he'll be like
Why didn't I do that?
And then the guy will be like
On every
Every single shot
He hits he does that
on every single
Little things like his smack his leg.
Some people don't like him because of the talking to the ball
and the theatrics where the ball's in the air
and then after and talking to Greller.
I actually enjoy it.
I'm a golf nerd.
So I love hearing him talk to Greller like before and after shots
and what they're going over and like the wind
and how they'll disagree a little bit
and Greller will give it back to him.
But you can tell that there is a side of people who
or certain people who are like,
shut up and hit the fucking ball, dude.
Like you know what I mean?
It's funny.
The difference between the ones.
way he talks about his ball.
Like you would think that he's a type of guy where like if you like almost like
Briggs, you've said this before, one of your pet peeves, like if Jordan speed hit a decent
shot, but he knew it wasn't a good shot.
And then you're like, oh, great shot, Jordan.
He'd like, no, that wasn't a good shot.
Like, I could be good.
My biggest pep in the world.
He hates when people say that.
Okay.
When I'm playing with a guy, they go great shot and it's just clearly not a good shot, I get
very annoyed.
Yeah.
Wait, so you're saying if I hit one that I didn't think I hit well ended up turning out great and
you were like great and I was like, actually I didn't hit it great.
You'd be annoyed by that.
No, no, no.
No, like, you hit a drive.
People call it in the air.
Yeah.
Oh, he calls him in the air and then it ends up being great.
Like, people do.
It's one of my big pet peeves.
People go, people go great swing and they don't know where it's going to end up.
And I, you know in your head, like, no, I miss that's going to be 20 yards short.
That's so fucking annoying.
Thank you.
It is.
It is.
Because you know right away that thing's going dead left out of bounds and they haven't even looked at the ball flight.
Right.
Correct.
Or they're just ahead of us and they know it is bad, but they're saying it's going to be a prey.
So I guess a lot of people,
People from the match way.
I guess everyone probably feels that way.
But Speed just feels like the guy that would call you out for it on his shot.
But then we saw him on what was it, 9.
And J.T., who was his partner, right?
He hit one short.
And it was that on 9, and he's like, hey, you take that four times in a row, right?
He goes, you take that four days in a row.
So J.T. hit, like, not the greatest shot.
He came up short on 9 and kind of looked down.
And, like, Speed's like, you take that four times in a row, wouldn't you?
Yeah.
To me, like, Speed would never want anyone to say that to him.
No, but they're saying that because 9 is.
such a difficult hole.
Right.
So they're saying, hey, eight, nine, and ten is so hard.
If all four days you're in the front of the green and two on nine, we'll take it.
So I think if you're, if they're on four, he's, he wouldn't be saying.
He's right.
He's right.
But it was just weird to see because of how critical speed is of his own game.
Correct.
Right.
Like watching him grill himself after even like a pretty fucking good shot, he'll go back
to the lab and he'll be grinding and chirping.
And Cameron McCormick, who's not a big rigs fan, comes in and he's like, they're all there.
And then he sees JT a little bit upset, and he's like, hey, Mr. Positivity fucking comes out.
And he's like, dude, that's great.
You'd love to be there four days out of four.
It was just really weird to see, like, the contract.
It just comes out of nowhere.
You know what's cool to?
I mean, it's obviously cool walking with this fucking group.
These guys are mentally fucked these guys.
Dude, it's nuts.
It is.
You're listening to them?
It is.
The most bizarre sport to be a high-level world-class athlete, and you have to be such a lunatic up in your brain,
whether in a good way or a bad way to get it done.
Dude, so I'm looking.
Number two is 5-16.
number nine is 526.
Jesus.
And I would say two...
How cool is eight you guys?
Eight eight, Jack Nichol says the...
I don't know if it says the best part four,
the best approach to a par four, but it is such a dirty hole.
Let me tell you there's something about eight.
Here we go.
Oh, no, what happened?
No, it's...
How did you guys play here?
I think I shot, I don't know, fucking 180,
but let me tell you about eight.
Let me tell you about eight.
That was probably closer to my number.
Let me tell you about eight.
I step up to the T, and there's not many T boxes on eight,
so I think we were relatively close to where the pros are going to
be teed up. We're one tee up. We were one tee up. Fifteen yards up from where the pros will tee off.
I step up there with the three wood. My caddies is like, gripping and rip it. I don't think you're
going to make the ravine. You're going to be fine. He didn't trust your swing. You went in the
ravine. I smoked this ball, nice little baby draw. It ends up right in front of the ravine.
Not right in front, but I had room. It was a nice shot. I didn't hit it too hard. I had a nice, beautiful
swing. So the caddy was perfectly correct in the club. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Perfectly correct.
What was his name? Do we know, Pat? He had this voice. Tim. He had a smoker's voice.
He said he had
throat throat
Oh no
He had throat
He had to
Guys guys
It had been
You guys
No, I'm gonna stand up for you
It was fucking cigarette
The guy gave him the perfect club
On the best hole in the world
And you chirping
Dude it was it was cigarettes
It was cigarettes induced
Right like I mean
He was a great guy who was
Been through a lot
Listen I like the guy
He was great
I didn't know
I didn't know about the throat
Jay
It had to have been cigarettes
Indus because he
I mean he was smoking a vapor
Either way
I want to hear like
What could go wrong
far because it started off great perfect little baby draw i went back he he goes nothing went wrong he
he goes he goes he goes he goes you know what frank is this is one of the best shots on this golf was one
the best shots in the world coming up you have to get over this ravine let's put on the left side of the
green i want you to take a five iron hands me a five iron how far are you 1805 190 down the hill too
down the hill he's probably like a seven for you it's probably 170 shot 175 i'd say i played it
185-19.
Okay. Either way.
To be out, maybe the wind was like a little bit of our face.
Like I played a 185-19. I played a true five.
Okay.
Smoke this fucking thing.
Baby draw coming in from the left to the right.
It hits the backside of the green and rolls towards the pin.
I'm like, holy fuck, boys, let's go.
I get up to the green.
I'm reading this thing.
I'm looking out at the ocean.
I'm like, I'm going to Bertie the best hole in the world.
Like, this is my hole.
I look at the putt and I miss it.
That's what...
I made a four
I made a four
This is what he kept saying
This is the most intense story of a par
You'll ever hear
But listen
So literally a tap in par
So Jay
Tap impar
Like the most normal thing in the world
But a great hole
But he kept saying
After a second shot
He kept being like
There are pros
Who will take that
US Open week
Because I said this to Jake
Right
I said to Jay
I said
You think pros on
Thursday
The US Open
Would take Frankie Burrell's hole
Right now
He goes every day
So you just said that
Knowing the answer
Like yeah
Just striped one down the fairway and strike one pin high.
Hey, with the pros like this, man.
Exactly.
In the U.S.
Open.
Hey, we watched Kisner put one into the fucking fucking overfitting.
Perfectly played that hole.
Which pro would take that one?
We watched Kisner put one into the fucking ravine today on that hole.
On his drive?
No, in his second shot.
They didn't even play.
No, he did that on.
He did that on the forecast for this.
Two days ago.
What's up?
Are there's supposed to be any nasty weather days?
No, it's going to be brisk.
So what I saw was like all four days, pretty much the high around 60 degrees.
a couple days like 57-58 and partly cloudy so it's going to be a little dicey i think the winds
was to pick up a little bit which is awesome we need because it's been fucking pathetic the last few days
so i'm looking right now thursday high 63 friday high 57 saturday high 58 sunday high 58 and a little
maybe a little bit of rain saturday and sunday so things could get dicey uh which is obviously
we're all rooting for every single one of us is rooting for uh for that what's talking about
Matthew Fitzpatrick today.
Okay.
So tomorrow on Thursday, you guys are all listening to this right now.
Tournament play is going to start.
It's going to be great.
You're going to love it.
You're going to be sitting in your cube firing that shit up.
US Open website, streaming.
It's going to be great.
I'm here to tell you about Peter Millar.
Now, there's really no other way to say it other than, of all the apparel I've ever worn
in my entire life.
Peter Millar is the best.
And they're the best for everything.
They're best for the golf course.
The best for going to work.
for business casual, for going on a date, for going out for like work dinner, for walking the golf course all day long, for playing golf, for going out casually and strolling, going for a nice little stroll on the beach.
Whatever the hell you are doing, you should be wearing Peter Mollar.
I'm buying this stuff six, seven, eight years before we even started this podcast when I would go into a pro shop, the first thing I would look for, the first apparel type company type stuff that I would look for, Peter Milar.
Peter Mular, Seaside.
They got the best in casual resort apparel
designed with a special fabric
washed for enhanced softness and comfort.
Peter Malar also has limited edition
collaboration exclusive
Harimari flip flops and warm weather accessories

What they don't make to outfit me
for the golf course and off the golf course,
they make everything. Basically literally anything you could ask for.
They've got it. The polos, they're super soft.
like the most comfortable t-shirt you've ever worn,
but they're also super stylish,
but they have a variety of colors and new patterns.
I actually put up a story today of us rocking one of the new Peter Millard polos that they gave me.
You had like 30 people respond to the DM being like,
where the hell did you get that polo?
What is that polo?
Here's what you do, folks.
You go to petermalar.com slash four.

It's just the best stuff.
Petermalar.com slash 4.
Go check them out.
They are the best.
We're also going to put a video out.
A great video.
We're on the range for, what,
three hours of show today.
We're in the mix.
How bad do you want to hit balls
when you're standing on the range?
Dude, it's fucking great.
I won't be able to.
I won't be able to stand out there.
It is.
Like, all you would,
I would want to do is hit balls.
It makes golf look really easy.
Yeah, it does.
But it's still us just standing there
in that fucking striper.
Dude, it feels like if I went and
stood where they are and I
could just hit it like they hit it.
Which we know isn't the case. No, no.
One of the things we would just go back and through
and I would just hit it straight. That's just honestly
what we're talking about the house. One thing we didn't
talk about was one of the first things when he did was
he came out here and he started hitting balls
out into the backyard. We have the
dream backyard for
like hitting go. Like this is what I have pretty much
dreams every day to have a backyard. You can rip
balls. We actually didn't know that we could just rip balls
until after he hit his first one. Absolutely
striped an eight iron off the concrete
we weren't sure we weren't sure and then we
never heard of house we looked at the satellite and there's
just miles of nothing behind this
really yeah you looked at that that's what
Pete said how old did you think that is
I don't know Pete's got the
fucking android but I don't know they're pretty
accurate so Matthew Fitzpatrick
Ken
great guy you a SAM winner I believe at
Brookline yeah country club
made a hole in one that that year two
did he which hole did he get a whole one on
uh
fuck me
I don't remember.
My brother was at it, watched it live happen.
That's amazing.
It was in the qualifying round because they did Charles River for one round and the country club for the other.
Is it 2022 they're doing the U.S. Open there?
I think it's 2025.
I can't, I shouldn't say, but I know it's not for a little bit.
I know it's not for a little bit.
Anyway, USAM, he won the U.S.A.M.
He's Austin.
Tiny little fella.
So.
That's right.
Speaking about tiny little fellow wit at the P.J.
championship, we did a video that it turned out.
great where we were
essentially we were waiting for Tiger Woods
to arrive at the BJ Championship at Bethpage on
Tuesday I think. Yes. Tuesday morning was cold as shit,
rainy. We're standing there. We're the only people
around and we're in the fucking parking lot. Literally in the parking lot of Bethpage Black.
Like this motherfucker, Tiger Woods has to drive into this course,
park and then walk into the course. We're not going to miss it. We're going to
stand right here. So we did.
We were there for three hours. So you figure while we're there, we're going to
commentate on everybody that fucking comes in.
from Duff to Matthew Fitzpatrick
To Justine and Patrick
To Justine and Patrick Reed
All kinds of people
It turned into a great video
Which kind of accidentally didn't realize it
Part of that video Matthew Fitzpatrick walks by
That little fucker
Walks right by us
Yeah Frankie says
I think that's the only person in the world
Or the only person here that I could beat up
I could just take him no problem
Sometimes you like to size people up
Especially me I'm a huge trash talker
It's like if I ever run my mouth
Who's the one guy that I should probably do it to
And Matthew Fitzpatrick walked by us
I'm like, you know what?
That's the guy.
Like, I can fucking, I can push Matthew Fitzpatrick around.
I know I can.
I can't.
I can just push him in the chest and be like, hey, a little guy.
And you made that a very vocal point in the video we laughed.
We kind of went back and forth about it.
It was just part of like a nine-minute video.
It was maybe a 20-second part of a nine-minute video.
Didn't think of any of it.
Well, today we're standing in the fucking rage.
Matthew Fitzpatrick's up in front of us.
And, you know, we're a ton of bricks.
I'm like, oh, shit, there's Matthew Fitzpatrick.
We're a whole little pod, right?
The three of us, we got our orange fucking little, uh,
little things on the lanyards
Lanyards inside the robes
Jake's filming cameras out
We're kind of a noticeable crew
Sure enough after about 10 or 15 minutes
Matthew Fitzpatrick guy
Who's got to be an Irish guy the way he talks
Comes over puts his fucking arm around
Friggins me he gives me in the eye and gives me the little like
Come here boy like
Get over here. Like two fingers towards himself
He's like come over here I'm like holy fuck
And you guys Riggs and Trent had not
seen what was going on and I'm like
I look back
Like something's happening.
I thought you were being kidnapped by the Irish mob.
He puts his arm around me.
He's like, I can't do a fucking Irish accent.
Do it.
I have a lucky charge.
I, hold on, I got to get into it.
Hold on.
That's pretty good.
He does.
He always starts.
My lucky charge is to give.
Hey, come over here, boy.
And you said you could beat the piss her out of my boy.
I'm like, oh, shit.
He goes, you said you could beat the pisser out of my boy.
I'm like, no way.
I'm turning around.
I'm squealing.
I'm squealing like a little bitch.
You're called out literally.
Dude, I'm looking back.
For anyone that, like, wants to see this, you should because the video is very funny.
I'm looking back at the camera, like, please save me.
Like, no, I don't want to go over.
And Fitzpatrick's, like, staying on the, now this is on the driving range.
We all know that Bryson brought me on the driving range at PGA.
Things just happened on the driving range.
And I'm like, what's going on?
I see Fitzpatrick sitting there laughing, like, no way is my guy bringing him over here.
He goes, come on, do it then.
Do it?
Beat him up.
Like, basically, like, let's go.
Let's have a bow.
You think you can take my guy?
And I look at Fitzpatrick.
I'm like, I'm sorry, man, like, I just trash talk.
I don't think I could beat you up.
Like, I don't want to beat you up.
I'm sorry.
You guys basically just got called out.
I turned into a puddle.
And that's how I've always been like that.
Like, I was telling Trent, like, if me, if my buddies are all in a circle, I'd be like,
you're fat and I'd smack him and I'd run away.
Like, I don't want to get fucking beat up.
Like, I just, I'm a trash talker.
I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm not a kid.
And I've always said.
What did he say?
He started laughing his ass off.
He's like he loved every second of it
And I'm like, I'm sorry about this dude
And he's like, well, at least I'm, I'll be famous on Barstil now
It was pretty cool
He's a barstool fan
Yeah, so that's how he has
He must have seen him, he must have been like
Those are the guys that said they could beat the shit out
And then when we were away from Fitzpatrick
You said, I could still beat up Matthew Fitzpatrick
I know, I like to talk shit when I'll leave
Yes, of course
You're that guy
He's a good dude man
And I mean
He stripes it too
24 years old probably making just
Shit ton of money playing out
I think he said that he loves Harbertown more than like any place in the world
What was this?
Were you the one that said the story
where he's like he showed up to school and was like, oh.
Yeah, I heard that he was at Northeastern for like a minute.
I'm at Northeastern, Northwestern.
It's in Chicago, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Luke Donald.
Yeah, like, it has pretty good golf history.
I mean, maybe Big Ten, I don't know.
But either way, it's like a good D-1 program.
And he went, and then he left pretty quickly.
And apparently he's like, I didn't think I'd, like, have to actually do schoolwork.
I mean, you hit a golf ball like that, like, just put him on the golf course.
Didn't come here to play school?
What was that Ohio State quarterback's name?
We said that.
Someone was telling me that story.
Right.
What a fucking quote.
But yeah.
Cordell Jones.
Cordell Jones.
That's funny.
So who are you guys pick?
Because I got to, I'm about to go, I'm about to go, I'm about to go, I've
about to go, uh, record some chicklets for, for the reaction.
But, but, but who is your guys picked for the attorney?
Are you not doing it yet?
So.
Is it always Tiger?
Is that like a stupid guy?
I'm, yeah.
I'm doing Kisner.
I put money on Kisner.
After watching him, Bertie, all those holes in a roll.
I'm jacked up.
about him. Okay. I'm going to go Jordan Spee.
I've seen, even like, so we were lucky enough, like, we actually didn't, I know we keep
mentioning, and it's probably annoying that we just are basically bragging about it, but being
inside the ropes with Speath for fucking two practice rounds in a row, the way he hit the
ball was stunning for a guy who seems to be all over the map and grinding and lost, even, like,
his pressers, he claims he's lost. I think he's doing, like, that political move where you've
lower expectations.
so then whatever you actually say and do, everyone's wowed by,
versus going in the opposite way.
So I think he's doing that with the media.
I think he feels pretty fucking good because the way that I saw him play the last two days
was very, very good.
And he's got three top tens in a row, and he's won this tournament before.
So I'm going to go with Jordan Spath.
That's my non-tiger pick.
My non-tiger pick, I'd like to say Brooks, but I didn't get to see him.
I think we saw him hit five golf balls today on the-round.
We didn't get to see him actually T-1-Up on the...
Brooks gives us more love.
mid-round in majors than he does
So weird, a guy walks by us
Like clearly knows that we're around
And just doesn't really say anything
But then he's walking up to 18
At the PGA Championship at Bethpage Black
And he's giving us knucks like
I mean he's a weird guy
But then he's awesome mid-round
Like looking at us like let's go boy
No joke
Well that was that he already had it wrapped up
No this was on Saturday
Saturday
We actually, you know what?
He actually did have it wrapped up
He had it more wrapped up
63 and on Thursday
He had it more wrapped up on Saturday
than he did on Sunday.
Yeah.
It was on Sunday.
It was a couple moments.
I was my guy that I'm going to pick because I watched him hit golf balls that made me feel the same way that Tiger made me feel when I watched him as Justin Rose.
Was hitting golf balls on the driving range today?
Like, I've never seen anyone hit a golf ball.
How about that tempo?
I actually think he may have had the perfect golf swing I've ever seen him.
Yeah.
Him and Adam Scott are like two.
We saw Michael Breed on the drive range at the time.
We're also, we're calling him the rooster now.
So anyone, we're just making that his name.
If you see Michael Breed or you tweet him,
Call him a rooster.
We're going to make that stick.
He said, he's like, isn't Rose just putting, he's like, he's putting holes in the sky right now on the same trajectory.
He's literally seen, just boom, boom, right through the clouds.
And his tempo, he just brings it back and there's just so smooth in transition.
And then I just think it's so, he's one of those guys.
You're like, he has to be swinging at 60% there.
And then he's hitting drivers 320.
Right.
Right.
It's like just, it's such a difference.
It's almost Ernie L's, right?
Where it's like, he's not even trying.
And then ball, he just rips the golf ball.
Dude, he was hitting, we watched him on the range.
He was hitting three woods off the turf from like a millimeter behind the divot in front, you know, which like if I'm trying to do that.
Oh, yeah, you're just chunking the earth.
Oh, man.
He's taking these tiny penny-sized divets with three woods hitting down on the ball, just a tiny bit.
And then they're probably flying, he's probably flying those things, 265, 275 off the ground.
And it's just you're sitting there.
He looks like he's swinging a wedge.
He's hitting three wood off the dirt.
It's hard to pick against a guy like that.
I like my pick.
So you got Kiz, you got Speed, you got our boy Rose, and that's your non-Tiger picks.
Tiger Included, I'm on Cantley.
I'm on the Cantley train.
And I know he's not even an underdog anymore.
He had the huge win, his second win, just recently at the Memorial.
I got to play the Memorial 10 days before the tournament.
We went 36-36, talked about it on Chicklets.
That golf course is world.
36, 36 at Memorial.
And it's a tough walk, too.
It's up and downhills, but what an incredible course.
I hopped into my top 10, no questions asked.
Ruff was ridiculous.
To see the show he put on there, I wouldn't be surprised at all.
I mean, California kid, I think, or went to school of California or something.
I think he's a California kid.
So maybe he knows Pebble and maybe you see him just go out and just do what he's done lately.
Well, also the Polanagan Green's right?
He's a robot, too. He just takes like six hours.
It takes like six hours to hit the ball occasionally.
But the story is incredible.
And I think most of your guys' listeners are big-time golf fans and know about his caddy and his friend who passed away.
So I would love to see him win.
And that's my pick.
All right.
I know you got to go.
I think it's a huge miss to not talk about the match between you two.
I mean, we have Whitney.
We have Wrigs on the podcast.
What are you guys thinking right now?
I think like half a year has gone by since it first went down.
There was a lot of shots.
It's over, over half a year.
Yeah.
It was fucking, it was like, it can be summer.
We're going to do it.
It was, it was like September last year.
This thing would be done if we just had camera guys come follow us, but we want to try to get it up on, get it up on the paper view so people can enjoy it and watch it.
Right.
We want shot tracers and stuff.
And then that would be so sick.
That would be so hilariously, like, funny, like bad shots on shot track.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, just some of our horrific shots.
A dead hook from me off the tee and just see the thing just ripping in a blue line.
Just a low, thin miss out of me from the rough that just on the tracer is like this high out, like two inches off the ground.
He started this bar stool classic thing, which was at one of my tracks, Walliston Golf.
A lot of people.
Wally were chirping you not being there.
Yeah, I know.
I had a lot of stuff going on.
I was too busy.
And I think that then he started that.
And since then we can't, we got to figure out of time in the fall.
or something. He's busy this fucking guy.
I think you're both very busy. I think golf's like exploding right now.
Hockey, you guys have the number one golf podcast.
You go slow down, no.
Number one golf podcast and number one hockey podcast.
Everyone's fucking exploding.
Yeah, I'll say this.
But I think we have to make time for this.
It's basically, it's still my 10 grand to your seven grand, correct?
That's that.
That is shenanigans.
What do you mean?
What are you talking about?
You're playing fucking mass amateurs.
It's gotten worse.
The further it goes, the ones on the front of my handicap still.
If you're not going to play with handicapped.
I've gone up.
If you're not going to give him strokes and like...
Yeah, that's what it's less money for...
You have a 10 to 7?
That's nothing.
10 to 6.
10 grand to 6.
That's a joke.
Anybody out there listening, I'll give you that.
What are you a 2? 1.5?
Two.
What's your actual number?
You know what it is.
So it was a 1-8.
It's working right now.
Well, no.
I mean, it's a 1-8, but it's a 2.
I mean, that's a 2.
And you're playing tournament-style golf.
I'm a 6.5.
So, I mean, that's just not like that close.
You'd be getting 2-2 in a match, okay?
And I think.
think that two and two in a match equals out to 10,000 to 6,000 bucks.
No, you don't.
It's a thousand bucks a shot.
You're a gambling, man.
A thousand bucks a shot.
No it isn't.
That's crazy.
Four shots.
Four grand.
No one on earth would take that bet.
No one.
Why?
What do you look willing to, I'd like to hear what you're willing to risk for my 10 grand.
How often do you think a two?
How often do you think a 6.5 beats a two straight up?
In match play, in stroke play would be a lot harder.
And match played like 30% of the time, 40% of the time, maybe?
I still, I think that's crazy.
That might be, I don't know.
I would say 20% of the time.
Well, okay, give me a number that you're willing to throw up from my 10 grand.
And I'll sell you if I agree.
And what's the reason why we can't do the two and two on each side just because like viewers will think it's like fucking pussy.
Why?
I don't understand.
No, it's not, I mean, it's not pussy.
That's the way you play match play.
Yeah, I know.
But, dude, if you're going to play a legit match, it just makes it a little more like it's
manly golf.
You're just playing heads up.
And the money risk is the shots.
It really is kind of the same thing in a sense.
But I think the money risk needs to be relative of like the...
Okay, why don't we take it to the listeners of a six and a half and a two
and what my $10,000, what people think it would be fair that you risk?
And we'll see what people think.
And then you can come up with your number and we'll see what we're at.
But if you're going to try to come to me and I have to risk $10,000 and you have to risk like $1,500,
I'd be like, no, that's just like ridiculous.
I agree with that, but I don't, here's what I would like to do it the other way.
Like, what do I, if I put up 5,000, okay, my own money, what do you have to put up?
10,000.
That's too much.
That's not enough.
Two to one odds.
I mean, like, two to one odds.
You just said it to be 30%.
So it would be at least, like, if that's a third, that'd be 15.
That'd be 15 to 20.
You're five grand.
Maybe I'd go, maybe I'd go five grand for 20.
No.
No, Rick, that's too much.
That's too much.
I don't think of fucking two beats a 6.5, 25% of the time.
I think my, are you kidding?
I think my 12,500 is fair to your 5,000.
Your what?
My 12,500 is fair to year 5,000.
You know that's fair.
Go 13-5.
No, I don't want to be in the 13th.
It's a horrible number.
Very unlucky.
14-14.
14,000. Lock it in.
No, go $12,999.
$19,99.
$14,000, lock it in.
12-999 per 5,000 is my final fucking offer.
And I think listeners at home will appreciate that.
I think people will respect my honor and integrity.
I'm going to film Chicklets right now.
12-9-99.
And listen to spit and chicklets come over and we're going to have the game.
Before you go, are we going to get an agreement?
I'll go $4,500 for your $12.99.
Oh, dude, that's it.
You know you're a $1,000.
I'm a $6.5.
He put down the mic.
Do you agree?
No, we're not done yet.
We still got to negotiate.
All right.
We still got to negotiate.
Yeah, go talking to the mic, you muppet.
I'm here hanging with these guys, so we got radio today and Friday, and check everything out.
And I'll be teaching these guys about this all.
We're playing spy.
We're playing spy with Whit and Trent.
So, yeah, well, that will determine some things.
But we need to be in agreement before that.
Yeah, I agree.
Because you can't play a match before, you know what I mean?
I agree.
I agree.
I mean, things could be bad for me.
Say I play awfully, please good.
Right.
We'll see.
I don't think that'll happen.
I think it's me and Whitvers Trenton Riggs on Saturday.
Wow, I like that.
All right.
Uh, that's Ryan Whitney.
Go check out Spitting Chocolates.
Seriously, they're fucking hilarious.
They got a great lineup over there.
They're getting ready to do.
Uh, they're going to, they're going to have their game seven, their Stanley Cup playoff wrap up, I guess, recap and all that out.
Uh, so big thanks to Witt.

I don't know if any of the listeners heard.
We have like salespeople that were just talking.
and they were getting louder trying to actually
go over our talking
and I was giving them the classic
they were they saying they were just talking
like having like a night and I was like
no no and I'm
waving at them while you guys are having like the argument
everyone's been waiting for I'm like
you guys shut up I literally stood
up and like yes sit
sip it sip look
here's what we're able to understand
I'm not being a pussy about this like he's better at golf
that I did he shot a 31 in the front
nine of a tournament play the other
So, and I think everybody understands that, like, the beauty of golf is that you have a handicapped system where people of different, like skill levels of golf can have great matches.
Now, if we're going to abandon that, it has to be a fair odds making.
And two to one or whatever is just not, like if Whitney and I played straight up, he's a two, I'm a six point five right now.
He's just going to beat me way more than two to one.
That's just a fact.
Now, I do think there's a certain element where cameras,
hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people watching,
a lot of nerves and drama builds up.
I do think that even things out a little bit.
It just makes it so that we're both going to be chaotic.
We're both going to be nervous.
There's going to be a lot of weird shit happening.
It doesn't normally happen when you play a normal round.
And I think that makes it where we're just going to like both make bogey
on maybe a couple more holes than we otherwise would.
So fine.
But also, give me a fair number and I'll play him without stroke.
We're close.
We're close.
We're close.
We're very, very close.
We're very, very close.
He's offering $13,000.
So, I mean, like, at some point, if you're offering $4,500, that extra $500, I think we can, we can, we're very close.
Over the next two days, we'll hash it out, we'll hash out on radio.
We're like $500 away.
Yeah, so it's one way or the other.
This is how you negotiate.
My devil's advocate side, which maybe some listeners are listening to, don't understand their origin of this.
Like, how did this start and then why, like, did you say that you were a better golfer than Whitney?
Like how did like how like for someone that's like well why is he fucking even offering like the more money why are you guys just playing straight up like you're trying to see who the better golfer is
Is that what is that what is that what is that what is this match even about?
We had the way I remember
It's been go back and check it is one of those arguments that like no one knows that it's about
We can check it so long remember one person tweeted and it was when we had Whitney on last summer right we had them on one of the shows we're all going back of fourth
We're having a great show it's hilarious whatever it was great time and then at the end of it
the next day when it came out, somebody tweeted, like,
all I need after this fucking show is like a Riggs versus Whitney match.
And I responded to it or quote tweeted it and was like,
done, let's do this, Whitney.
Now, the guy in his tweet didn't give like specifics.
We need like a heads up, no strokes involved.
He just said we need a match.
That was it.
And then Whitney's claim was, well, Riggs challenged me to a match and then is asking for strokes.
I didn't challenge it, but I just saw a guy's tweet about it and said,
fine, let's do a match.
Right.
and assume that it would be done fairly.
Correct.
Which I don't think is out of line.
And to be fair to, and I'm going to be on rigs aside on this, is that when the play,
when the time of the match happened, like, I think that you guys were closer in, like,
handicap and you guys were closer in, like, time played.
Like, Whitney, like, had still been, like, grinding at, like, the NHL network and
doing all that stuff, like, wasn't playing as much.
Like, I remember him on that show was like, yeah, I'm, like, trying to get out as much
as I can.
And now Whitney's a professional golfer.
Like, the guy plays fucking.
eight rounds a week.
He's like playing in mass amateur tournaments and shooting 30 ones on the front nine.
He just shot a 76 in a qualifying match, like playing pretty good golf.
And like, we're out here just like walking golf courses, watching people go.
So it is a little bit different than it's hard that like when you have an argument going
and you're like and you feel confident and then you guys wait a year.
We're in a different space now.
One guy gets like all this time to practice.
The other guy really doesn't.
It's different.
Let me say this.
Frankie, you're 100% right.
It's not excuses.
It's just like the way it goes.
we were talking in, I believe it was September.
I think that's when this happened.
Whitney, I think, was like a 1.7, and I was like a 4.5 or something like that.
And he was like, what the fuck is the difference between three strokes over the course
of a match, all this, that?
Now, like you said, yes, we had to play a decent amount of golf on like weekends and all
this, that, we travel to places and all that.
Now, when we were in Seattle, how many driving ranges do we go to?
You got to be honest, I was sending a DM when you just wrote that.
How many?
When you just said that, I was writing.
I'd be honest, I was talking to, I was talking to Kevin Connolly from on through our show.
He's a huge islander guy.
He's a huge islander guy.
You just took your eye on the ball there.
When you just asked me that question, I was talking to, I was talking to E.
How many driving ranges did you go to in Seattle?
We went to, we went to Caldera.
We went to Gold Mountain.
We went to, uh, right?
Home course.
All right, that's three.
We didn't go to the driving range at any one of those places.
What are you talking about?
We hit the driving range before every single round.
What are you talking about right now?
No, we didn't.
Did you or did you guys not go to driving ranges in Seattle?
Like, when we didn't play, at, like, the home course, we just, like, walked off.
Like, we just, like, basically walked out of the teeth.
All right, we hit, all right.
Well, I mean, we hit the drive range at Gold Mountain for, like, a long time.
Here's my.
Yeah, what's your point?
What's your point?
I think we're on the wrong page here because we did hit driver range.
I think we're very much on the wrong thing.
Yeah.
Because my point was trying to be.
Your answer was supposed to be zero.
I know.
Which is that we just like have it.
My point was supposed to be.
We hit a lot of driving range.
Home course,
the guy was screaming as like,
like Sam and Frank.
And we were like running off the driver.
Doing like a six minute warm up isn't like grinding and finding you off.
How many times we hit a drive?
I know.
All right.
Look,
you're not talking.
I know.
I'm sorry.
Here's what people are fucking understanding.
Winnie belongs to three different private clubs.
Because really goes to fucking ranges and grinds on a swing for a living.
We live in Manhattan.
Correct.
We live in New York.
Like, we don't get to, like, work on our golf swing.
Whenever we go play golf, and you've said this about your wedge game forever.
True.
People are like, how's the fucking Bryson lesson where you're like, you're like, I don't know because I don't get to practice.
Only time I hit a wedge shot is when I'm like, I have a 15 foot bunker in front of me and I got to try and hit a fucking tight lie shot.
It's like, yeah, great job practicing your Bryson technique.
So I'm not trying to make excuses.
But what I'm saying is, like, the reason my handicaps gone up is we don't get to fucking put headphones
in after work and like sneak out to the driving range and work on our game for like two hours after work three days a week like no we just whenever we get to play golf we just show up on the first tee for the most part and whatever you have you have now you are right in seattle we did at like two or three different courses you just seven minutes before we teed off we got to like you asked me the wrong part of driver while this guy's yelling at you on the fucking walkie talking about you having to be on the tea in eight seconds dude i honestly when you asked me that question and i was messaging uh
My point was we don't get the practice goal.
I thought that you, I thought I had missed the beginning part and you were like trying
to make a point that when we do hit ranges, you play better because you started to play
really good golf towards the end of the week.
I did play good golf.
I thought you were saying, dude, how many Rangers do we hit in Seattle?
I was going to be like, we hit them all.
And then you were fucking.
You're trying to set me out.
Yeah, and like when you practice.
Well, you were a fucking DM in that ruined everything.
But dude, like, think about what I was trying to set you up.
Like, yeah, dude, when you actually hit the ranges.
You're right, you're right.
You're right.
You're right.
You're played good golf.
Not like we don't hit ranges.
Like we did hit Rangers and you were hitting like 78s at like fucking Chambers Bay and shit like we were playing good go
You're right that's a very very good point I did shoot I did a rare at chambers Bay I went 46 36 36 which doesn't happen very often
Yeah really yeah but really good wrap my main point I was trying to make was that we don't just we just don't get to and this is an excuse like
Witt practices and he fucking shoot he made 30 million dollars in the NHL his favorite thing in the world is golf
He loves to play competitive golf he loves to work in his golf swing
And so naturally we're going to try to even these two things out
There needs to be some significant odds or there needs to be fucking strokes or something
I think we've settled on significant odds
We just have to agree on that we have to get there
It's going to be an epic match. It is going to happen
We need to figure out when the fuck it's going to happen
We have I think we have three Barstool classics in July and four in August
So that takes up a lot of time on top of that we're doing barstall radio
Five days a week on top of that
before playing golf has exploded so we're going to as many events as we can trying to film as many
videos as we can and all that shit so it's tough it's very difficult trying to figure all that stuff
out uh but you know i mean that's kind of where we're at with the wittany match um i think a lot of
people will be happy that that got brought up yes i agree i think there's a lot of tension there
a lot of people have been asking uh and he's right we need to come agreement we need to come to an
agreement before saturday because we are playing in the same group saturday
for the first time since this all began,
and we're going to know a lot.
Right.
There's going to be a lot of chirping.
There's going to be a lot of, like, reporting back about what happened.
I think we hash it out on Barstall Radio these next couple days,
and we'll get an agreement done.
Maybe we can get, like, some players or, like, big personalities that we may run into this week to, like,
weigh in.
You know, it's always good to have a different view on things.
Definitely.
Matt Parzi, I just liked my tweet of me absolutely pit-roasing a drive in our backyard.
Parzy?
Yeah.
That's a guy that we just saw.
Dude, we ran into Parzy.
Parsy's fucking awesome.
Dude, what hole was that when we were walking by?
Two.
We're walking by two, and there was a classic, like, like, all these guys.
And when you're, like, when you're in front of a crowd, this happened to us at the PGA, like, obviously to a lesser extent.
But, like, when someone's like, oh, for Play or, like, Frank, you brought in a nice, like, you just like, like, thanks, bro.
And you're, like, look at him and, like, you nod.
And you're like, thanks for fucking being a for Play fan.
And at some point, like, it, like, it, like, becomes, like, all the same person, right?
You're like, oh, like, that person's screaming, that person's screaming.
So Parzy, like, we were like, Parzy.
And he did that exact, like, face, like, thanks.
And then looked up and he goes, oh.
When you see someone you know, it's like, he stopped.
And I noticed that everyone in the crowd that also was saying, like,
Parzzi, like, looked at us, like, who the fuck did he just react to like that?
And it's just like, I mean, he's on the T-box at the U.S. Open.
And he's like, hey, you guys.
Like, I know you too.
Like, it was awesome.
We're just such idiots.
Dude, Keegan does the same thing.
He always does a double take, Keegan, every time.
Oh.
We're always like Kigan, and he always gives like a classic,
Thanks, guys.
Phil type head nod.
Thank you.
And then does a double take.
Oh, boy!
You know what's crazy?
And who's actually starting to get to that point?
It's fucking like Joey La Cava.
He's like starting to give that look where it's like, I mean, this guy is Tiger Woods
his caddy.
And you want to talk about people that scream out like Tiger and like Joey like millions.
And he gives the same look like a little head nod.
And then today walking on, I think 11.
Like he like pick up his bag.
walked up and he like just looked at us and then looked back and then looked again and gave
the headnought it's like holy fuck joe he's given us to double take it's pretty good it's hard to explain
man how big of a fucking hero joel lakava is i put out the uh footage he told him that today i called him
a hero he's like oh yeah you're a hero joey and he's like oh yeah i did man he just like when you
look back at the footage from the monday tiger meetup that we had where we chatted with him for a
minute a half where I slapped him on the arm
where he totally pretzled
Trent's brain
where you guys stationed
the public is on my side there
which is nice everyone is saying
stationed is a strange way to put that
it's very understandable too that
you you explained it perfectly
I'm talking to Tiger for the first time
he said something I didn't expect to be said
of course I was pretzled
makes a lot of sense and then Frankie waving at him
it was a it was just an all-time
all-time encounter.
But, you know, I, you know, we went back, we looked at the tape, and really Joe Likava,
that fucking hero going out of his way as Tiger's finishing up his putting practice session,
going out of his way to be like, hey, hey, Tiger, hey, there are your guys over there.
There are you guys.
And he turns and looks and then walks directly towards us.
That was just, I mean, I'm like getting chills and, like, tears thinking about it.
That move that Joey pulled, and Tiger actually, like,
like adhering to it and being, oh yeah, you're right.
Those are the guys.
And rolling up and like introducing himself basically to like you guys and saying like what's up again and just chat with us was surreal.
It's so surreal that actually happened.
Joey targeted us that we didn't have to.
Right.
Like when we met Spath at the PGA, like Frankie made a heroic move where he was like, Jordan after we've been sitting there forever.
And we're trying to like muster up the confidence to say something.
You were like Jordan.
We're trying to get into the mix with like different guys.
And like that is what we're doing.
We're the common men of media.
Like we are the bad boys in the media tent.
And we're trying to like make our ground.
So like we're, yeah, we like met Tiger.
And like now we're on to like we want to like, we want to fucking plant our seed across the entire PGA tour and like the USGA layout that they have at this beautiful golf course.
Pebble Beach.
Which I will say some people say it's the number one public golf course in North America.
And I think I'll say that.
I don't know.
That's a tough one for me to say.
that to me. Someone very important
to Pebble Beach said that that's what it was
and I agreed
with them. It has to be.
It has to be. Like over Bethpage?
It has to be. Here's my argument.
Here's my
here's my, here's where I'll agree
with you. It's the best
golf course
like awe-inspiring. You go there
you have a trip number like for a public golf
course like you go to Pebble Beach. You will never
see anything like it unless you go there.
It's breathtaking. But like for the
for the for the
value and the actual golf course,
nothing beats Bethpage. I agree with that.
Yeah, because, like, I can walk up to Bethpage
and play the golf course that everyone in the world
loves. It's awesome.
Pebble is, there's no stretch
on the planet, like, 4 to 10
at Pebble Beach. Nothing, not even close. And you can even,
like, micro it down to 6, 7, 8 at Pebble. There's
nothing like that peninsula in the world of golf, not even close.
It's hosted a handful of U.S. opens. Does that make it
that elevate? Now, I think it actually makes it the best
public golf course. I don't know. I also would say this.
Pebble Beach is $600.00. That page is 75 if you're in your business.
And I know it's public, but like how many people get to come play it?
Right. So we're just, we're basically telling you the different pros and cons of that
and of Pebble Beach. The point is the fact that you can play both of them, like you can just play them. Yeah, 600 bucks is a lot of money.
You can just play Pelham Beach if you really want to. And it is.
Okay. Here's where I'll end this.
if you have the money and the ability to play both golf courses
you're like on next Monday I have a choice between Pebble Beach and Beth Page
you have to pick Pebble Beach I think I'm picking Pebble Beach
you have to pick Pebble Beach if you have the if you have everything set up
you have a fucking flight there you have like a tea time you have the money to spend easily
like if everything is set up for you to play a one golf round and you have a choice between
Bethpage Black and Pebble Beach you must play Pebble Beach because you will never
experiencing anything like it
Ever. Now, I would like to make a comment that, speaking of the experience of nothing like it,
there's nothing like when you've walked 8 million holes in a day, and then you walk the front nine with like Kisner and the boys,
and you finish on nine, and Pebble Beach is a links type course where you go out and then you come back in,
and you have to turn your ass around, and you have to walk back all the way up to the fucking media center of Pebble Beach is some of the darkest moments I've ever experienced.
Shout out to our guy, Craig.
I don't know what he had to do with, like, the layout of this golf course and what they've done for the media.
Well, I think they built it in, like, 1920.
I got to tell you, well, the actual golf course layout's incredible.
What I'm saying is when these guys put up these little monstrosities of tents, like these huge fucking buildings,
where they decided to put the media tent, someone should be arrested for it.
Now, I love the USGA.
They're close personal friends, but I would like to watch tomorrow when I go and have my eggs and all the food that they put out for us,
great food. I've had 18, I think,
ice cream sandwiches in the 4 days.
How many tacos do you have today? No, but a lot.
I had five. This is what I ate today,
this is what I ate yesterday.
I had eggs and bacon. I had two heapings
of bowl. And then I had honeynut cheers
because I like to get my nut on before
noon. You used that joke earlier,
but that was the first one for the last week. I ate honey
honey nutteries also because I like to get my nut on
before noon. You just repeated it.
Okay. Okay.
So I've had that.
then I went and we went and did our stuff on the golf course came back
I fucking edited a pizza view like a hero
came and met you guys in the dining area and you guys said that there's tacos in there
and I said holy fucking shit I'm gonna go have some tacos I went on to eat three
straight tacos and then I went back then we did the driving range then we did the
drive range went back and we're like hey let's go grab an ice cream cone and I said okay
And then I said, holy shit, the tacos are still here.
And I ate two more tacos.
So by the time three o'clock came by, I had eaten eggs,
Honeynut Chiro's just because I like to get my nut on before noon.
And I had five tacos and an ice cream sandwich all before three o'clock.
And then I came home to this mansion and made sweet, sweet love to that fucking toilet upstairs.
Dude, I thought I was going to shit my pants on the ride home.
We're on 17-mile drive or like the entrance to it.
We don't actually go down 17-mile drive because Trent's a little baby-back bitch.
and doesn't want to drive down 17-down drive.
We'll do it.
We'll do it.
Well, I think we have a chance to do it anymore.
What is that?
Of course we do it.
Maybe we have a chance on like Saturday or something.
Yeah, something like that.
The other day when you guys wanted to do it, we all wanted to go later.
It was we had made the trek back to the weekend.
I'm going to get back to, I'm going to put a little bow tie on this and I'm going to come back.
I'm going to come back to the end.
Whoever put, I want to, when I'm eating my eggs tomorrow, I want to watch someone get dragged out of that USGA tent in fucking handcuffs.
because whoever put this media tent out by the fucking parking lot,
you have to leave.
You have to leave the tournament.
To get to the media tent,
you have to walk up a hill that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
That's after walking the golf course.
So you walk eight miles.
You get to this little fucking entrance way.
You have to walk up a hill.
And then you've got to walk a mile.
It says thank you for coming to the U.S. Open.
You walk through a metal detector,
and then you have to go into the media tent.
What are they thinking?
And, oh, whatever.
You know what?
It's fine because it's a great event.
And I love the USDA.
You know what?
I love it.
Maybe.
Because a lot of the media have been babybacked bitches about the USAGA.
And the way that they've handled everything.
I love the USDA.
And the way that they've put on such a phenomenal, tough test of golf for decades.
If it's bad grass, don't hit it there.
That the USDA might have said, hey, babyback bitch media, go fuck yourself.
We're going to put you at the top of the furthest hill in fucking California.
California.
And we're going to watch you guys walk up and down mountains.
I mean, this media town is in Calabasas.
You got to make a left and Altamadera Road.
And then you got to make another right on San Mateo.
What you're saying is Mikey Tru-Riggs.
It's just tough that we got caught up in that wave of hatred from H.G.A.
It's tough for them to sing-lose.
I feel like we're winding down on this podcast.
I'm just going to say I Caledap's Bryce and St.
today. I don't know if you talked about that.
Callie Dad Bryson.
It's in the video.
It's in the video.
Go watch it.
And I'm, I only am trying to put a little bow to this podcast because I'm sitting next to a
fucking flame right now and I think I'm going to pass out.
I'm not kidding.
I'm sitting next to this thing and I really think I'm going to pass out.
You are sitting next to.
Dude, it's the fucking strongest flame.
I can't tell you.
That flame, man, you know what I'm going to do right now?
I'm actually in real time.
I'm going to boomerang you next to this flame.
I'm not kidding.
I just watched Riggs's camera be in his face and it was.
tough.
I can't explain to you how hot this fucking flame is.
Look, a boomerang the flame.
Looks good.
Holy shit.
You're just super close to it.
Now, just one more story before we end it.
Okay.
About taking pictures.
Me and Trent watch, and I guess Riggs was in on this.
We're on, uh, what hole was that?
Oh, man.
13.
We're on 13.
I had just met Reggie Jackson.
That's a little thing for you.
I don't even know if I posted that fucking picture.
Uh, Will, our new guy Will, like, gave us like a little point.
He's like, you guys see Mr. October over here?
I'm like, holy fuck, it's Mr. October.
Wearing all Yankee gear, awesome for me.
Huge Yankee fan.
His hat on the back said Mr.
October.
His hat said Mr. October.
Incredible.
Walking with Tiger, the whole nine yards.
We are, we got like sectioned off on 13, and we're watching Tiger walk by.
And we're watching Tiger T.
You off.
And this lady, who was a patron, got caught on the other side of the ropes.
And she noticed that she was on the good side of the ropes, like our side of the ropes.
Yep.
the inside of the ropes.
And she's like, I'm going to take advantage of this.
She's like a probably 60-year-old woman, would you say, Trent?
Yes.
Maybe no.
Older, older.
No, no, no.
It was about 60.
All right.
Well, I feel like 60-year-old.
I almost would have gone younger.
I said 57.
Yeah.
I would have gone younger.
Yeah, she was a lot.
She was very young to the point where she should have been able to.
She was capable.
Very capable.
Right.
But she wasn't.
And she's taking this phone out and she wants to take a picture of Tiger Woods so bad.
It's her only.
moment she can do it. She's inside the rope. She's basically
in front of the T-box. You didn't try
and start to see what's going on here
about two or three minutes in. I look at
Trent, I'm like, she can't, she cannot
hit capture. Dude, she kept
she couldn't hit capture. She got into the
photo app, which was a great start.
Off and running. And then
she zoomed in, which she was
capable because she did the screen thing where you
zoom in, the shakes become
so much more difficult.
If you were just viewing Pebble Beach
through that lens, it would have looked like an earthquake
Yeah, and she's like, she's trying so hard.
She's zoomed in.
Tiger's going a million miles an hour on the screen,
and she's hitting buttons, but she can't hit the capture.
And when I tell you that Tiger Woods hit his drive,
walked by, left the area,
and she held her phone up for five minutes.
She didn't get one picture.
She didn't take one single picture.
Not one thing captured on her phone.
I was in tears.
We were laughing so hard watching her struggle.
Frankie?
I tried to hold myself, and I thought I was going to piss my pants.
I was closer to her.
Frankie was right behind me, but we were both seeing the same thing.
Frankie kept being like, come on.
One time.
Come on.
Come on.
Give it to us one time.
Just one catch.
Do it.
Hit that button.
I almost took a photo and then air dropped it to it.
She just didn't get one.
And now she's just,
she's just on her phone has no pictures of Tiger Woods.
The good thing is that Tiger Woods is all over the internet.
You can just search Tiger Woods.
Yeah.
You can,
you can find it on.
Photos are weird in that.
Like, in that.
That's like you.
That's like you.
When we drive back,
we drive back from the course to our beautiful mansion house,
there is a stretch that is.
is unbelievably beautiful.
Whoever's been to Carmel, California,
you'll never,
you would never believe this drive.
And, but during that drive,
it looks like fucking Jurassic Park.
It looks like Jurassic Park.
And Frankie the other day,
took out his phone and was video recording
the scenery that we were seeing.
And I told him,
you're never going to watch that video.
No,
but like I've found myself going to all these awesome events
and I don't take enough photos on my phone of like,
like we're always taking things that go on social.
Like things are vertical and like,
when I went to social,
Super Bowl. I took a million videos of Dave.
I obviously got dragged out of the fucking Super Bowl, but it's like I don't
take one photo or video of like myself
or anything there, which is fine. Like I would never
go to these events without this stuff.
But like, I try now and like grab
something so that when someone says, oh, what was
it like, where did you guys stay? I can be like, look at
this view on the drive home.
Like, I don't even think you can search that view.
Well, now I feel bad because when you
show that video, people, I'm going to be in the background
being like, what are you doing? You're never going to watch
this shit. Stop doing that.
Like my girlfriend's family would be like, oh, like,
Like, I heard, I heard that place is incredible.
I'd be like, look at this video.
Okay?
Look at this video.
And then they're like, holy shit, that looks like Jurassic Park.
So that's what I got to say.
All right.
Are we done here?
Yes.
U.S. Open.
It's a fucking U.S.
Open at Pebble Beach, number one public course in America.
Watch us on the rundown and listen to us on Sirius XM Channel 85.
We're going to be live as fuck.
Four to six p.m.
Eastern.
That's one to three p.m.
local time here
Pacific Standard Time
So thank you all for listening
U.S. Open at Pebble Beach
It's the sixth one I believe in history
The other champions are
I believe Jack Nicholas
Tom Kite
Tom Watson
Graham McDowell and Tiger Woods
Those are the other five champions
At Pebble Beach
The U.S. Open here
Tiger Woods of course by 15 shots
In the year 2000
I want to say he finished like top five
in 2010, maybe tied for fourth, something like that,
where he hit that cut from underneath the tree,
where he was wearing tan on tan on tan on Saturday.
So he's had some fucking success here.
He had that in 2000.
He won at Pebble Beach twice in 2000, I believe.
Earlier in the year, he holed out that wedge shot, I think,
on 15.
It ended up coming from like nine shots back and winning that tournament.
So Tiger Woods had a lot of success here.
Brooks Capco is the two-time defending champ here at the U.S.S. Open.
He won, of course, at Shinnock and at Aaron Hills.
He's the most recent major champion.
He won the fucking PGA out of Bethpage where he's giving us Nucks during the tournament.
So Brooks Keppka's on fire.
Kiz looks great.
Kiz feels confident.
He hits the ball straight.
It's a shorter course for a major championship.
He puts the ball well.
I picked Speath.
Spieth has finished top 10 in the last three tournaments.
He's played in.
You've got other guys.
Fucking JT's back from wrist injury.
He's been out with us.
Jason Day has been playing some phenomenal golf.
Rory Macroix just won by seven shots.
Rory McRoy.
Seven shots.
We haven't even talked about Rory yet.
We tried to get some love from him.
Nothing.
I said, I gave Rory.
Oh, thank you.
Blue right by you.
He blew right by you.
Frankie.
He gave you nothing.
But Rory's been playing some great golf.
So, man, there's a lot of good golfers.
Rose we ran into.
Not ran into.
We just watched him.
It's phenomenal shots.
on the range.
He'd come on,
Frankie at the
PJ.
That was like
just for us.
When you said that,
that felt like it was
just for us and I loved it.
Come on.
Come on.
Everybody else would probably listen to.
Who's Frankie talking to?
Come on.
Off camera here.
Bryson.
Bryson's won five times
the last a year and a half.
I know he missed the cut of the PGA,
but man,
Bryson can play some fucking golf.
He said he feels good about his game.
So it's a goddamn major championship.
It's the U.S.
Open at Pello Beach.
It doesn't get much better.
Enjoy that shit.
