Hey, 4Play listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Pable Beach, we are in Carmel, I believe, California. Carmel, California. The coldest, I think, podcast that's ever been recorded. Sitting outside and basically sub-arctic temperatures. It's probably like 61 degrees. It feels 27.

We can't record inside because the house we have is too big and too spacious and has way too many echoes. Apparently your voice travels as if you're in the Taj Mahal when you're inside the kitchen. So now we're sitting outside, which should be beautiful. It's like fucking July, essentially, in California. I'm just saying it's summer in California. A few podcasts back, we did talk about California weather. And I'm ready to concede that I was wrong. Thank you.

I'm ready to do that because we have been. Monday through Wednesday, though, Riggs was looking like an idiot. Yes, and no, though. It's only been, the last couple days, it's only been 58, 57 degrees. And I was just flat out wrong about the weather in California. It's not always warm, sunny. Sunday, it was like 80, which was almost a little too hot. And then the rest of the week, it's really been cloudy and 58.

So I concede to my guy Riggs-Eweather. You were correct about this. As do I. Thank you, boys. It feels really good, although I wish I were wrong, because if it were just fucking hot. And, by the way, you claiming it's 61 degrees out here is one of your all-time worst guesstimations, I would say. I'd say it's 51 degrees out here. Yeah, I'm going to say you're off by about 10.

55. 55. I mean, we're right in the middle. Right in the middle. All right, it has a little bit of a bounce back there. We got a lot to talk about. U.S. Open. Obviously, we're a credential.

We're inside the ropes. We're all over that fucking place the entire week. We got a bunch of encounters that have happened since our last show to kind of break down and talk about. Whitney was here. We played golf. We played three different rounds of golf. We played Spy Glass Hill. We played Paso Tiampo.

And we played Monterey Peninsula Country Club, the dunes course. We're going to talk about those things. Gary Woodland just won the United States Open. We're going to talk about that. Tiger Woods played his last 12 holes at 600 par, I believe. We can talk about that. There's a lot to get to. First, let's talk about spring golf.

Enter you can win all kinds of good stuff Okay Let's start with Gary Woodland Gary Woodland Has now, I believe, four PGA Tour wins One of them is a U.S. Open Where he really took down

A pretty badass leaderboard It was a bizarre open in that, you know, it felt like people were rising to the number one contender position over and over again, but nobody could really overtake. Nobody could really stay there. When they teed off today, you know, Rory was a handful of shots back. Thought he might make a run. He shot, I think, one over par was never really in the mix. Brooks Kevka teed off today. I think three, four back?

Was he four back when he teed off today? Something like that. And he ended up making a run right out. the gate and everyone's thinking oh here we go brooke's kebka who's the back to back to back to back and prove again that major championships are really easy it got interesting down the stretch but you know gary woodland was probably the number one guy that a lot of folks were saying he won't win including i think us even saturday morning we're like gary woodland's obviously not going to win the yes open well gary woodland went out won the fucking yes open yeah we doubted him all weekend we really

thought uh he was going to be one of those like charley hoffin thursday at the masters where You play really well out of the gate And then as the weekend goes on He fades and fades and fades And then a guy like Brooks Keppka comes And grabs a hold of the lead That just didn't happen And you know props to Gary Woodland for doing that

We all doubted him So he's now a US Open champ It did get pretty interesting down the stretch A little dicey A little dicey He had that chip on the green on 17 Which was very interesting I know Frankie

Frankie Butternives was talking about that Because he had that chip Just a horrifying chip Just absolutely no room for error You can't chunk it on the green. It's just, you got to pick it clean. I mean, when they showed the slow motion shot of his, of his chip on 17, his follow-through almost hit the ball. That's how, like, tight and high he had to get it. It's an unbelievable chip. The best, the best thing I see,

it's like the best thing that I saw of the worst thing I do, which is like, which is like a mind-blowing moment. And so I was just like a wow for you. Wow. Whoa. Whoa, look at that. Oh, wow. Because as he was about to hit it, at that shot, Brooks Keppka was lining up his birdie putt on 18, and if Woodland bogies, Keppka birdies, we're really looking at a playoff, which would have been awesome. But then... Yeah, so a couple things about Gary Woodland on my part. Number one being that, yeah, we doubt him all week because all you see on these, like, graphics

when you're watching the TV is the 54-hole. He's 0-and-7 with a 54-hole lead. It's like he just can't do it. You have Brooks Keppka behind him. You have like Rory Macquarie. You have all these guys that are just going to absolutely dust him, you think, going into Sunday. It's like these guys are just professional winners. So that's like, that's the only reason why I was like, I wasn't rooting against Gary.

Well, I just thought for sure there's no chance he was going to win. When Kepka Brady 4 out of his first five, it really was like. It was over. It was over. You should have given Kepka the trophy that. That was it. And then number two is like Gary Woodland is like an all time good dude. And it kind of like flies into the radar how good of a duty is. Like you read all this stuff about him.

He's had like a pretty troubled like family pass. Like some sad stories that have happened with like, you know, know his kid like passing away like when when his wife gave birth and stuff and it's like a really like unbelievable story that this guy like keeps like persevering and and advancing his career at the waste management the thing that he did with the special olympics golfer that about that video that went viral um where he played with a girl from the special olympics she like put it in the bunker put it splashed it from to eight feet and then drain the par put and the place went absolutely fucking bonkers on the 16th hole in scottstale and apparently i actually just got to

text that he facetamed her just now with the trophy. Amy Bacher's step. Amy Bacher said, he facetimed her with the trophy while he's on like the, while he's on the press table. Unbelleaning on the U.S. Open trophy. Like the fact that that's what Frank is when we got to see the time. The only

people that have touched that trophy with their hands is me and Gary Woodland, which is a problem. I know the U.S.J. wasn't happy with me. He's being more cautious with it than you were. As soon as Frankie touched the U.S. Open trophy, the U.S.GA guy took a phone call and was like, what is going on? But he's just the ultimate, like, good guy.

Yeah. A good family guy. Love to see a guy like that succeed. And he always, and my third thing is, he always looks like he has a dip in. It looks like if you're going to talk to Gary Woodland, for him to respond to your question,

he has to spit into a cup. Like, that's what he looks like. Like, hold on, I'm going to respond to your question. I just have to spit into this cup first. There's guys that look like that, and that's him. That's true.

Somebody on Twitter also said he looks like Rackett Ralph, which does look like Reket Ralph. And look up where, just right now, look up Reket Ralph and then chuckle. And two, Gary Woodland is the name You always say the first and last name

Yeah, that is a good one It's one of those names where you don't say Gary You don't say Woodland Gary's out And Woodland, Woodland Seem Strange, Gary Woodland You never say Gary or Woodland, Gary Woodland, that's just how you got to do with the name

Yeah, yeah, yeah I was gonna say you have to say Tiger Woods But you can say Tiger 100 times out of a hundred He is one of the, He is definitely on the far of the side He's with Cher, he's with Seal Tiger Woods It feels just like Tiger Woods

Yeah But Gary Woodland Gary Woodland, you have to fucking say Gary Woodland. So I'm going to say a couple things. One, about that 0 and 7, I think is whatever the number was with 54 whole lead. He did have earlier this year in Capilua when he teed off with, I think, like, a five, he was five shots ahead of Zandr Shoffley, played a great round, played phenomenal down the stretch, made a couple clutch birdies to keep himself right in the mix.

And unfortunately, Zander Shafly went out and shot in 11 under. to win. That's pretty good. So it wasn't like he had gone out and collapsed. He kind of showed earlier this year that in a big tournament with the 54-hole lead, he can still go out there and play some great golf. He just ran into an absolute buzzsaw on Zander Schoffley, who shot that 11 under. I think it was an 11 under, like 61, which is just preposterous.

Another huge shot was on 14, which is an impossible par 5. The dog leg right, uphill, crazy green, green so crazy. They had to literally completely reconstructed over the last year to make it. fair and playable what guys were hacking it all around on that hole all week long i think keppka did not birdie that hole or the 18th hole the entire week gary woodland steps up there i think he had a one-shot lead at the time from like 265 out and hit a three wood to 20 feet unbelievable and then two putted for birdie uh to go on and and have a couple shot lead and then like you said the shot on 17 was incredible big credit to the drone work oh man oh yeah every time

we were watching the TV broadcast when the drone thing would happen, drone rigs would be like, oh this is a beautiful shot. The drone had to step up because the Goodyear blimp, which we all know flies 70 miles an hour and made its way. Made its way from Beth Page in time for

Pebble Beach. It's now headed to the travelers. Best of luck to the Goodyear blimp on its horns. But that's going to make it to the travel. So, you know, safe travels to the Goodyear boys. You ain't going to see a blimp shot and blimp view until, like, Sunday afternoon. The last point.

You're going to fly into the travelers and be like, oh, you're out. Here we go. But they couldn't get any blimp shots this week because there's just this, what do you call it, a marine layer? Everything on top of Pebble Beach is just clouds. Like, it's crazy. We were, we'll talk about our other rounds around this part of California. But, like, when you're on California, when you're on any part of, like, outside of my. Monterey Peninsula and you're looking out at Monterey Peninsula is just like clouds over it.

Like we saw that at Paso Tiampo. We saw that over there. Yeah. Like you were like, oh, there's Pebble Beach across the water. It just looks like there's darkness on top of it. So like when they were showing the blimp shots, it was just clouds. It was like you're basically in the sky. So the fucking drone had to step up and it did.

Those drones, man, hover and they were doing the like the circular view to round seven, around 18, especially 18T and 17 green how they kind of stick out on the little peninsula they had that fucking drone doing like the circles around and I'm just all I was envisioning was that drone team standing there keeping those fingers steady just fucking hovering that thing around that circle

you all don't understand how hard that is big shout to that drone team for Fox no disrespect to blimps but aren't drones gonna put them out of business they're safer oh no the blimp is also like you look up at the good year you look up at the blimp like you don't look at the dirt like The little kids don't look at the drone.

Yeah, but that's not enough to keep blimps in business. When a drone flies by, everybody's looking at it. I know, because they think they'd be under attack. Dude, if you could hang a flag, an advertisement flag from a drone and be the same thing as a blimp. I think you're missing the main point of the blimp. They just happened to put a camera on it, I think. The main focus originally for the blimp was advertising.

I just solved that with my last point. I don't think, I mean, listen, I love the Goodyear Blump. I've grown up with the Goodyear Blimp, but I think the drones are putting them out of business pretty soon. Why'd Goodyear become the Blimp people? I don't know. It's a fucking fantastic idea, though. And why doesn't somebody else...

They own the market of Blimps? I guess no one else knows how to make a blimp that goes 7... You ever have another blimp? No. No. They're like Kleenex in that department where it's like... Their name has just taken over the actual name of it. They should just call it a good year.

Yeah. Oh, my God. Speaking of Blimps real quick, I gotta give a shout out to this kid. He's got an Instagram called Brilliantly Dumb. It's actually one of my buddies's cousins. Fucking hilarious kid. He put up a viral video. a couple of years ago.

He was sitting in a hotel outside the Super Bowl, and they had the Super Bowl in Atlanta, or was it New Orleans, whatever. One of them was a dome, right? And all of a sudden, he's in his hotel, and he's like, look at this. The Goodyear Blimp finally made it. And they're on top of the Super Bowl,

but it's a fucking dome. And he literally has footage of the Goodyear Blimp, like going on top, noticing that no one can see them, and then they just slowly turn around and leave. And he's like, he's commentating it. He's like, they are gone, people. The Good Year Blimp is. is gone.

They took her just a hard left and just left. They're like, fuck this. And now that we know it, it takes some fucking years to get there, they're probably like, my God, people can't see us during the game. Damn. Very funny. The fact that they just fly from

event to event, would you think they'd bring it down, de-blimp it, put it on a fucking trailer, drive that fucker across the car? They just fly it the whole time. It's crazy. It's crazy. What kind of pilots? Those guys exhausted up there?

Flying on that goddamn I think the inside of a blimp looks like. It's got to be like hollow. It's just hollow, right? It's just air. It's just like a little pilot section. I was explaining that to him. He was just asked the question.

He was like, what's inside of a blip? It's air. It's nuts. Helium. What a nutty little thing. And there's just like a little pod on the bottom of it, on the belly. I think you think that pod is? It's like a war room in there?

Is it like a submarine? It's also got to be horrifying to not have like wings than I either say. You're just floating. Like everything that's keeping it up is above you. So you're basically just like a little. little floating pod that's got to be nerve wrang at least when you're in a plane you feel some structure like you have things around you behind you this is like everything that's keeping you up is above you i'm picturing i'm picturing the pod and the blimp the size of my the kitchen

in my new york city apartment just a tiny little thing yeah i think so you can't say that small yeah oh we're getting uh jake's pulling it up right now oh yeah yeah but i wonder what's behind it like is there is that's not that's just seats man that's the whole thing they can't stretch They can't do anything up in there. Well, best of luck to those guys in their cross-country trip this week. Great footage. Gary Woodland 11th and driving distance on tour this year. He averages 309 yards per drive.

Imagine averaging 309 yards. I mean, I know there's other guys that get close to 320 and all that. But imagine averaging that. He also has. That's wrecking Ralph numbers. If there's one shot on tour that I would like to borrow. Recit Gary. And have for my game, it would be him hitting that little driving iron, low missile.

off the tea, stinger that he hits. The way he lags the club, he's got that big old body, and he just kind of lags it in there and then rips it, and the pro tracer, like, barely gets off the ground. Looks like a worm burner. It goes out there, 270, 280, whatever the hell it goes out there. If I could borrow one shot, it would be that one. He had it perfectly on number one today.

It was fucking. It's one of the great shots. It was awful. So congratulations to Gary Wooden. Very, very cool. Seems like a great guy. Changes his life. I will say I'm a little bit.

You know, they always say, like, oh, when you win a major, you vault into, you know, you enter this new kind of sphere of celebrity and how big of a name you are and golfing on that. I don't know about that. He's just Simpson. Like, look at Webb Simpson. Yeah, but Webb Simpson is not really known.

And had he not won, you really wouldn't know who Web Simpson was. Like, Webb Simpson, at least you know because he won one. Remember we walked by those two kids today trying to get autographs? They were yelling at each other about Web Simpson. Like nine-year-old or eight-year-old, probably around that age. And the kids like, do you know Webb Simpson? He said, you don't know who Webb Simpson is.

And the other kid said, I've got Web Simpson's autograph. And then he showed him on his sheet. It was a lot of the argument over Wedgians. But I'm with you. Gary Woodland is going to continue to be Gary Woodland. That's what I think. You know? That's not a bad thing.

I think more mainstream people have been talking about me, Gary Woodland. And then like, I don't know if a conversation sparks up in some golf fans, so like a casual sportsman, like, oh, Gary Woodland. They're like, oh, Gary Woodland, the guy who won the U.S. Open. Like, I just think like that. It just makes you more known to the casual. sportsman to the everyday golf or whatever we're still in on brooks and tiger and dj and all that shit or he'll be one of those guys in five years when the name gary wilden

gets brought up he'll be like did he ever win one did he win a major and they'll look it up and it'll the 2019 u.s i think pebble makes that too too oh true because it sticks out so much yeah like no no he won it pebble you're right about that you kind of can't forget people remember the shit out of graham mcdowell totally because he's like yeah so gary woodland again good for him seems like the nicest best guy on the planet's Folks, you will not find another polo pant or sport shirt, this lightweight period. What am I talking about? Peter Millar.

You all saw what we were wearing all week long. You saw us on Instagram, on Twitter, pretty much anywhere that you were looking. We were out there and we looked fantastic. Now, as good as we may have looked, we felt even better. The most comfortable pants I've ever worn in my entire life of EB-66 performant five-pocket pants. I'm wearing Peter Miller pants right now. I'm wearing our beautiful U.S. Open Quarter's zip. I'm wearing a Peter Malar polo under it.

I'm so comfortable I can fall asleep right now. I'm telling you right now. I've never, I just got sent these pants for the first time. I'm doing the podcast for like a year with you guys now. Never had Peter Malar pants. This week was my first time. I don't have three pairs of Peter Malar pants. I will never wear any other pants.

Ever, golfing, ever. It's or even just like going to work or just going to get some groceries. I'm going to be wearing Petamilar pants. They look good. They feel good. Everything that Peter Malar makes is soft, silky, and smooth. I'm telling you right now. So Peter Malar sends us a lot of stuff.

right they just send us stuff we get to wear because they're part of our show and all that i went into mccc today i bought myself a peter moir sweater that i'm wearing right now so nice because of how awesome it is and how silky smooth it is their stuff it's just you just can't find a better pair of pants you can't find a better sweater you can't find better polo they're polos they hold all their shape so perfectly around the collar and everything but then they feel like you're wearing silk like you're wearing nothing I was so naked. You know when you were like really tired in the morning and you have to go up and golf and

like you're excited to golf but you're super tired? That's how you felt this morning. And I was like like sometimes I just put on a collard t-shirt or a polo or whatever. It just doesn't feel right. Like you're like, oh, I just feel so gross. I put on one this morning and I laughed at laugh. I'm like, am I still in bed? What?

You just sometimes you walk out and you're like, do I have pants? I ever feel that? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Just walk out of my apartment like naked? I thought I walked out. What an irresponsible move by me to walk out. I walk down here like, oh, shit, I don't have a shirt on.

Peter Milar stuff is so good. Also, their sports shirts, much lighter than the average t-shirt, their featherweight performance sports shirt constructed from a nylon, spandex, poplin fabric. Offers performance benefits like all. It's just, you got to go. You got to go check out Peter Mollar. Go to their website, peter moir.com.

Check them out, get their stuff. Peter Mollar, they're the best. A couple little stories from being inside the ropes. I don't know if we talked about it's on the sheet read it yet we did that on the radio I don't think we did it on the podcast just one of the more baffling things that have ever happened maybe my favorite moment of the whole week I think so too so we were I mean it started with you guys when you were inside the ropes before I joined up with you where you're really being kind of like almost ID'd and checked by the we have these inside the row passes and one

of them says mine and I think trends a photographer on the inside of the lanyard so we have the correct color we have it says inside the ropes access And then on the inside, some of them just say media. Some of them say Fox Sports, whatever. And then some of them say photographer. I guess when we got our Inside the Ropes passes from our good friend at the USGA, they just handed us like whatever one they had and it was just a photographer one. And that caused a ton of problems with this one guy who just like threw on a volunteer badge this week

and thought he was sheriff, Mr. Law, like at the U.S. Open. You say sheriff, Mr. Law? That's who I think he thought. he was. He like, he like legally changed his name to Mr. Law and he made himself the fucking sheriff. So he was called Sheriff Mr. Law. Yeah, we were walking up, uh, what was eight? We meet you and Whitney

and we had our... Shout out to Whitney Whitney. We used to say that Riggs was aggressive with the inside the rose passes where like you walk where you just like act like you know or you act like you're supposed to be there. Whitney fucking crosses greens. He crosses greens and he's hard to keep up because he's so tall.

His steps are the longest strides and he just takes off. He just takes off. And he's not walking fast. He's just walking. So many times I'm like, wait, wait, we can't go there. He goes, buddy, I can go wherever I want. Like, okay, fucking wait. He's like, we got the, the lanyards on.

Are you fucking serious? We can go wherever we want. And 10 seconds later, we have deputy fucking Mr. Law coming up to us saying, saying, can I, uh, can I see those passes on you guys? I'm like, sure. He looks at him. He goes, oh, you know, Frankie Burley Barstall Sports Media. Oh, Trent Ryan, Barstow Sports.

Okay. He goes, where are you guys from? He literally read it. And then goes, where are you guys from? Like, Barstle sports? he touches his ear, he goes, okay, I'll check in with the media. He says, he says, I just see the year guys say photographer. He said, I haven't seen you take one picture.

I think he realized that we were questioning why he was looking at it. And he goes, so yeah, your sister photographer. I just haven't seen you see take one picture yet. As if he was like questioning our work ethic or something. Like we were supposed to be photographer. He's like, you guys haven't taken anything. What are you guys doing? It is one of the situations where I felt comfortable because where we were in the right,

because we just got these from the USGA. I was like, listen, man, I don't fucking know. It wasn't like we had snuck on and stole these lanyards. We were supposed to be there. I don't know why they said photographer. And then he kept checking. He did it again on 17. Let me see those again.

Yeah, so after that happened, I think we were on someone's radar. We were on the whole, you know, sheriff department's radar. And these guys walk out there, and this is their job. Their job is to make sure the lanyards are correct, and everyone's in their right position. So that no one gets hurt. even though like we're talking to Tiger Woods on the green and then I got this guy telling me to be a half a foot away from the rope. Like who are you protected?

Like at what point do we like cross the line, right? Like we're on the green talking to the guy, but we can't be more than a foot off the rope. It's like where are we making the lines here? Right. Weird. So we're walking up 14 and 14 obviously the par 5. The 14th green kind of just rolls right into the 15th T.

15 T's kind of back up in the in the trees a little bit. It's away for the patrons. So we walk up the right side of 14. Tiger and them are following them. Next thing you know, they finish up. Tiger makes it a bomb for par. Everybody's going crazy. And then they roll right past us right up to 15T.

So we just stay to the right side of 14. Turn our fucking bodies to the right. Boom, they're teeing off on 15 right there. Easy peasy. Tiger rips one a little two iron down the fairway. Great stuff. Love to see it. Then we go, right?

And then they walk away. We walk behind them. And Mr. Sheriff fucking law guy, whatever the hell Frankie calls him. It was a different guy this time. Different guy,

but his same cut from the same cloth. Yes. Comes over. And he goes, this is your warning. You're not allowed to be on the T on 15. And I go,

what are you talking about? There's nothing that told us that anywhere. And he goes, it's on the sheet. Read it. Read it. Read it. Read it.

He pointed at me. He said, It's on the sheet. Read it. He had a rolled up, like when you go to a Broadway show and they give you the little playbill. He rolled that sucker up when I went to Book of Mormon.

I was slapping my leg. I was laughing so hard at the Book of Mormon. He had one of those. And he pointed at rigs. He said, it's on the sheet. Read it. And then turns around. He pivots and walks away.

He pivots and walks away. On the sheet, read it. Pivot, walk. As if like he didn't want to hear what we had to reciprocate with that. He was just like, I'm going to fucking drop this bomb on these people. This was a few days ago. And even now, we don't know what sheet he's referring to. sheet, Trent. It's on the sheet and you got to read it.

What he's talking about? We are so away from knowing the rules that we don't even I haven't held a sheet of paper. What fucking sheet is this? Are we in middle school? He told Rakes to do some reading. He did. He gave him right. It missed. Mr.

Deputy cop gave you homework. He told you to go home, put your jammies on, turn your night light on. Put on your soft clothes. I was explaining to Frankie that when I'm back home, my parents don't refer to their when, When they're getting ready to go to bed,

they don't say I'm going to go put my pajamas on. They say I'm going to go put my soft clothes on. And then... What the fuck? And then whenever we go to Thanksgiving at my aunt's house and my dad brings his soft clothes with him. And after we get done eating, he goes and puts out his soft clothes and just hangs around. Does he have hard clothes?

I guess those are just... Like, we're wearing hard clothes right now. Jeans and jeans and t-shirts and... Christmas morning, everyone. the Orion House comes down in their soft clothes. Everybody's in their soft clothes. Just like, Trent, get on your soft clothes. We're opening up presents.

And you're like, you're sifting through all your clothes. You're like finding the softest stuff. The soft clothes thing didn't dawn on me that it was a weird thing until like a, like, eight months ago. I can just picture your dad, like, sitting down, watch the TV and then just like, and he just gets up. He's like, I put on my soft clothes. And he just, he just goes up to his room. That's exactly what he does.

They announce it every time. They say, I'm going to go put on my soft clothes. They announce. It's it? They do. They're like, get up and they're just like, I'm going to go put on my soft clothes. And then out, out there. Out my dad strolls in a sweatpants and a super soft t-shirt. So good. He's tied. He's winding down. So yeah. Putting on a soft clothes. Yeah. So that, that guy gave you some reading to do in your soft clothes. It's on the sheet. It's on the sheet. It's read that thing. And then he just turned around and I just, I was, I stood there speechless.

We've been in. It's on the sheet. I have to read it. We've been in California for two months and I haven't seen one sheet. I feel like I've been here. I've, I've, I've never lived. in New York and I still haven't seen the sheet. Yeah, I don't know what she's talking about. A few encounters for the boys since the last time that we did the podcast. We'll start with Matthew Fitzpatrick. So I mean, we had a little bit maybe of, we talked about what happened on the range. But that was it.

We kind of left it at that. Well, sure enough, on I believe Friday, Friday, he finishes up his round. We put in a little media request. while we're live on the radio. He comes on. I think we're going to throw that audio into this show because it was great. It was great catching up with Matthew Fitzpatrick.

Story goes. Frankie saw him walk by. Of course, Frankie waited until he did walk by and he couldn't hear at the PGA championship and said, I think that's the only guy in the world I could beat up. Sised him up a little bit. That got back to Matthew Fitzpatrick

because everybody was tagging him on Instagram and Twitter, and he obviously realized it, saw his barstool, laughed. We had him on the radio show. We ran into him a couple other times. Great, dude. Awesome, dude. Unbelievable guy, 24 years old.

You know, he just has this, like, aura around him where everything's just, like, he's just happy to be here. He's got, like, a happy to be here, aura to himself. He's really easy to talk to. He's really easy to root for now. I mean, the guy is just so good at golf. I mean, what did he finish? T-12. He finished four under par for the week.

What kind of paycheck is you looking at? Can we pull that up to? 12. Somebody's going to be able to pull it. I'm only using one hand right now because I have to hold my microphone. It's so cold. I don't want to take my hand out of the blankie. But Matthew Fitzpatrick, awesome guy. Again, we're going to throw that audio in here. Come on over here, buddy. Fitz, come on in here, buddy. You're going to sit. You're going to sit right between me and this big pigeon freak over here. What's up, pal? What's going on? How are we doing? Good to see you. We appreciate it. So Matthew Fitzpatrick just came off the golf course.

Throwing his headset on right now. So we had our first run in with you was, I believe, was that two. Tuesday? Wednesday? Wednesday on the rain. We've been here for so long. It feels like a month ago. There was a little bit of an incident where at the PGA Championship, we're hanging out in the parking lot. You know, we're kind of causing a little bit of a scene. People are walking by. You walk right by Frankie Brelli, our guy right here, who looks like a little bit of a boy. And he sizes you up and says, I think that's the only guy in the world I could take in a fight.

I did say that. Now you're just red as a furna. Well, I'm always right. We talked about this yesterday. He's panicking. I'm not as cool as a cucumber. He'll knock you over this watch, Frankie. I know, look at that thing, glistening.

So how did that get on your radar? How did you find out about that? Someone just tagged me in it, and then, yeah, basically, I just saw it, and then, yeah, obviously, the rest is history. What do you think? Like, what the hell these guys are taking random shots? Yeah, I was, well, I mean, I follow you guys, so I know what the deal is on Barstall. I think everyone does, so. But, yeah, someone just tagged me in it, and I was just like, who is his puke?

I was like, this is a little aggressive. It was a little aggressive. I think that's the only time Frankie Burelli has had any confidence in anything whatsoever. I don't know why. He's like, I'll never meet this guy. This is a perfect guy to show. Oh, shit, he's sitting next to me. 100%.

It's exactly one of those scenarios. And, you know, we're in the parking line. We see Brooks Kevka walk by and we see all these big guys. And I see Matthew Fitzpatrick walk by. I'm like, you know, that's the one guy that kind of looks like me. Maybe I can do something. No, no, it's pretty valid. Brooks is an absolute giant.

That's his most of the players on tour, to be fair. So how is it out there? How are you doing right now? It's good. Yeah, yeah. I'm a little surprised at the scoring. It's not as good as... Right.

T-16 right now for you? Yeah, yeah. I was surprised, really. So, you know, just a couple of bad holes today. And I could have been a little higher up, which would have been nice. How much just finishing with a birdie on 18 and increase your chances of coming on with us like this?

Like, if you came off with a boatie, I'm in a great mood now. Well, it was going one or two ways. I had an eagle put, so I was buzzing, and then hit five foot past, and I'm thinking, oh, shit. I don't want to finish. Yeah, it was a good way to finish. Why do you think it's playing? I mean, because it's perfect conditions, right?

Yeah, there's not a lot of wind. The thing this morning now, I think the rough is a lot wetter than it was yesterday afternoon, so it's difficult to get the club through it. The ball isn't going anywhere. where I think, you know, as soon as you miss a fairway, and you can miss a fairway by five yards, and you're having to hack it out. Just to get sideways if it's that bad.

Exactly, exactly. So it's just the way that it's been set up. I think it's been great so far and see how it hit the weekend. How are the galleries out there? Are they rowdy at all? Are they pretty tame right now? No, they're pretty tame. Not that I'm a feature group or anything,

so I wouldn't really know. but Tiger's sort of the opposite draw. We've passed him on a couple holes, and yeah, that's been pretty crazy. How is this wet? Do you feel better? Because this weather's a little bit closer, like back from home, right? It's not like that scorching hot summer,

kind of the U.S. open weather that we got at Shinnock. Yeah, I guess so. I mean, if I had a pound for every time I heard that, I'd be very, very, very well off. So you're telling me, I was your shit question. That was the perfect way back. Everyone asked me that. Hey, I got a question, though.

You're born and raised an age. And then you come over to Northwestern, okay? And I've heard, is it true that you went there and you were like, this is way too much schoolwork? I thought I'd just get to play golf. You're like, fuck this place. I'm out. Pretty much.

That is true. This guy's like, I'm going to win the USAM at the Country Cup, not a big deal, and go on to be professional golf. What do I need Northwestern Sociology 101 for? Take that Ravel. Revelle. Yeah, Duren Revelle is a loser. Oh, yeah, big time.

So what holes play in the toughest step? They're like, what, when you tee it up, when you're pegging and you're staying there going, I'll take a bar here all day. I would say nine and ten. Yeah. Yeah, nine and ten. I mean, I'm not the longest, but I think nine, I hit a really good five iron just short today. You know, ball below your feet. Green looks so small.

And the green is so small, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like right on the water. And then 10 is even worse. I mean, I didn't have the fairway today. It took me four goes to get it there. but that green is just right on the water. It's practically on the beach. And given that it's tiny as well. Right.

It's a tough one going in with four. So, you know you made the cut. You're in a great spot right now, and you get the morning time today. So now what's the rest of your day? You're going to the range? Are you a guy after rounds your practicing? Are you just going to chill? Yeah, no.

I'll definitely do some work on the range. On whatever wasn't working today, kind of? Yeah, basically, basically. So I just have a chat with my caddy and coaches and just sort of. maybe have a look at the stats for the round and see. And then check Instagram and get tagged in videos of someone calling you out. A little boyish media guy saying like he can beat me up. That's what this guy's worrying about, trying to win a major.

USGA takes a ton of heat from a lot of different guys. Last year, you know, there was Shinn and Cock. It was the 13th pin. It was Phil and all that type of stuff. Right now we're seeing the scores are a little bit lower than they typically are. What's the kind of assessment right now of how they're doing, how the courts is set up, all that? Great, yeah. Obviously, I'm a little biased having won the USM, but they... You love the US.

Yeah, yeah. These guys say what ever here. The USGA do a great job. Like, last year for me, was fine. You know, I didn't see a problem. The guys, you know, you have a practice round for a reason. You know, you're trying to figure out where you need to hit it, where you don't want to hit it. And that's the whole point of it. And then, you know, people shoot bad scores on.

Saturday and they just start complaining. Right. So it's just, I just thought it was a little ridiculous and people needed to grow up a little bit. I completely agree. I like what Kepka did say it perfect. Like hit the fairway. Yeah, yeah. There's, you know, if you play well and you win the tournament, you're not going to be complaining

either. So it's just the fact, you know, you didn't play too well. And, yeah, I'm trying to find excuses. Are these greens a little trickier because they're more subtle? I would say so in spots, yeah, definitely. I think also the fact that the Poana, they're a little bumpy too. Is there a big advantage of playing in the morning then? I would say so, yeah.

Yeah, I would say. I think the faster, like by two feet, I would say, this morning, compared to yesterday afternoon. I don't know. I'm not a greenkeeper, but I feel like they grow a little bit in the afternoon, definitely. Are you crushing a huge breakfast before you go play a morning round? Are you, like, get me a big old omelet, or you just, like, give me a power bar.

I'm ready to go. I had scrambled legs on toast this morning. I always wonder if guys want to fill up or then they feel heavy out on the course. Yeah, I don't like feeling heavy. You just crush it. And then after a round, like never work out or sometimes hit the gym? Yeah, more often not after the round. You're like, I'm going to work on it, and I shot 66.

I'm in a great mood. Yeah, exactly, exactly. You more up for it then. What are the interactions out there like with your cabby? Are you guys chatting a lot? Does he kind of leave you alone? Yeah, no, we chat a good amount. We, the soccer season is over in the UK, but we had a big rivalry this year.

My team got promoted to the Premier League and his just missed out. So for the, you know, we start together in January and since then. We've just been given each other. I was just to say he's like, oh, I think it's an eight. And you're like, remember when you're fucking squaw? Yeah, there you go. Keep it like. Stuff like that.

Stuff like that. Yeah. Exactly. but, no, he's pretty experienced. He's been on tour a long time, so he sort of knows what to say at the right time. Does he ever have to chirp anybody in the gallery for being out of hand or anything like that? Just one guy who called me out on Twitter. He called you out?

Yeah, this break. I was going to say, you guys have to pick that up. I almost ran out of this tent. That little boy over. Dude, I got to tell you, when he was walking over to me, I'm like, I'm getting taken out. He gave me that little finger. He's like, yeah. coming with me.

I really thought we were never going to see you ever again. I thought that was the end of Frankie Borelli. That was it. Well, I think you gained a lot of fans by just like mucking it up with us, us Shamo's in this tent over here. I mean, I think Matthew Fitzpatrick's going to be on that barstool, that barstool list of guys to watch now. You know, for me for sure.

I agree. A couple under par had another weekend. Keep it up for you. Thank you. Yeah, we appreciate you stopping by. Thanks, boys. All right, Matthew Fitzpatrick, we're going to hit a break. We'll be back in a couple minutes.

Don't let student loan stand in your way. Take control with Ernest. Tommy Fleetwood. This is one of weirder encounters I think we've ever had. So in order to kind of set the stage, we hang around the where you finish area by 18.

Scoring. There's a bunch of media. Everybody puts requests in. There's like a request guy. Put your name on the list. You try to get guys. some people decline on the agent and they're not doing media

they'll do this team, they'll do that team they won't do that organization, whatever. So we fucking throw our name on for everybody basically. We're like everybody in the world where bargeal sports requests them no matter who it is. And we're running around doing all kinds of shit.

We're trying to blog, we're trying to tweet, we're trying to do radio, we've got what kind of shit going on. So you don't really, bottom of mind, like you can't keep up with every single player in real time exactly how they're doing, what exactly, their scores are, this, that.

So they might just, hit you with like, hey, Tommy Fleetwood's done, and he said yes, and he's going to be over here. He's walking over here as we speak. You're like, great. So that's kind of what happened with Tommy Fleetwood. So he walks up. 10 player in the world, right? Tommy Fleetwood?

He's got to be close. I believe he probably is. Again, you're asking all these questions. And I have one hand because we're outside. So in the queue is how much Matthew? 18. He's 18th in the world. He's 18th in the world.

He's almost better than he is. Quarter million dollars for. 12th place. Okay. Not bad. Maddie Fitz. Holy shit. That's pretty damn good.

But anyway, so Fleetwood comes walking over. And, you know, we got a couple things. Like, right off the top of the head. We're going to talk about his Ryder Cup, him dominating us. That's like, Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, all that fucking bullshit with the Euro singing. That's kind of the most recent thing we remember him for and all that. So we brought that up, talked about his hair. You're trying to think about these things to say.

And Frankie, very clearly, wanted to just say what a lot of people will say about Tommy, which is like, that guy fucked. We've said that on this podcast. Yes. Every single time we talk about Tommy Fleetwood. Anyone that's saying like, oh my God, Frankie made that embarrassing or he like, or he made it really awkward, like, yeah, I made it fucking awkward. I told the guy he fucks on the golf course, off the golf course, everything about him

fucked. And that's all we've ever said about him. People have agreed with me. Everyone talks about Tommy Fleetwood. He's got an aura of a dude that has sex. It's just a funny thing to think about. And when I'm approached by Tommy Fleetwood and we have one. minute to talk to him and he's on his way to like the scoring table and like some bullshit media

thing he has to do we're going to say it to him like that's what we do we like stir the pot and we say shit that makes people go what the fuck just got said the people who were saying oh all that shit about all that was weird with time cringe yeah those are the same people who are like oh hey when they when the media people ask you know bread and butter questions how to go out there how's the course Tommy you know it's way more fun to have a running storyline with a guy who we just say fucks all the time and then to run into him in person at the U.S. Open and be like, Tommy Fleetwood, you fuck. If you're not interested in that, go listen to some other fucking podcasts and go follow some other

Instagram accounts. That's what we talk about. That's what we talk about. Tommy Fleetwood fucks. That guy, I'm 100% positive. That guy walked away from that little interview. I think he said, what the fuck just happened? He erased it from his memory and pretended like it.

When I said that to him, he looked at me straight through my body and he's like, what is, what is this man saying to me right now? But then there was also like a moment of like, okay, I'm talking to like guys who joke around a lot. And he like chuckled and he's like, I like that. Like he like, he like, he like tried to be nice and like he didn't. Obviously it was awkward and obviously like what didn't like he wasn't like yeah, I do fuck. You know like I go around. I bog with my hair and shit.

I pull my dick out. Yeah. My hair is so cool. Unless it might like I. Oh shit I slipped into a Jason day. He did. Yeah. Todd of Bluewood.

I was got I was going to do like my like cheerio. Yeah. I like to. I like to go around and fuck. That was your, that was your, oh, me, lucky arms. That's how you warm up. So, yeah, he didn't say that, but, you know, I think Tommy Flewitt walked. That's how you warm up.

Like, Tommy. Yeah. I think Tyler would walk away. Like, that was a fucking joke. But, like, yeah, like, if we get Tommy Flewwood for 40 minutes or 50 minutes, we're going to ask him more things that, like, relate to golf and, like, our side of golf and stuff. But you have him for a minute, you want to, like, make him chuckle or whatever? It's like, like, fuck.

If we had had had had him for that time and we had only asked him, how is your round, how you feel and how that, the response from those. same people would have been why, if this is what you guys are going to get the access for, then it's not worth it. He literally was leaving our little station, which was on the side of a road, to go answer those questions. Like, Tommy, how'd you put him out there? Well, you know, like

the USGA set it up a little, like, who cares? Who cares? Tommy's one of a hundred and twenty-five golfers that's saying the same fucking shit. We're just trying to make it a little different. You guys are very defensive. I'm just saying, like, just because it's like, don't you feel the same way? Like, in what, like,

like, you can't have it both ways. Like, like, it. We do the things that we do. Like, it's that we're not going to, like, butter up stuff to not make the guy feel awkward. If what we say about the guy makes the guy feel awkward, we're going to make him feel awkward. You know what I mean? Yes, I do. Like, if saying the sky is blue makes Gary Woodland awkward, when we talk to Gary Woodland, like, yo, dude, that sky's blue.

And it makes him feel awkward. He's going to feel awkward. You are right, though. If we had 40 minutes with Tommy Fleawood, we would get, we'd cover it all. We do the funny stuff. We do the serious stuff. We got a minute. I think we had a great little interaction.

I totally agree with it. I walked away from that feeling light on my feet. So we also had Franceso Molnari today, who is the other half of the Molliwood situation. Yep. He, you know, he, I will say this, he came off. He even said the first answer his question was that he's basically not happy. So he clearly was not happy with the way he played golf. He had come 12 seconds after he finished his round, his final round in the U.S. open of all plays.

where there's a massive purse. It's a major championship. He has been an absolute weapon at major championships for the last year. So for him to come off in that situation, he's obviously, like I said, upset with the way that he played and then have to answer to people. He doesn't know what the fuck we are, who we are, what we do, why are there three of them, why are they just have a cell phone, what is happening here? And then we asked them, and I actually thought that one was great.

Because I thought, like, he clearly has that, like, dry, little witty sense of humor. Yes. That doesn't just hit you in the face. But if you listen and pay attention to him, talk, we've said all the time, like, every time he talks or gives an interview, we just laugh out loud. The way he smiles and the way he chuckles and, like, I just laughed in his face. Like, I was like, I was, he made me so happy. Yeah. Like, I was just giddy.

Like, I wasn't like, and he also doesn't make you feel nervous around him. Like, I, like, like, talking to Francesco Molinari felt like normal. He's a cool. It was just cool. Like, and he was definitely made. mad he was definitely angry at himself he was definitely like he he said he needed 30 minutes like to for you to start asking him about the place signed his score he literally he actually said asked me again in 30 minutes yeah like he just i mean i'm asking you right right it was too much to talk about his

round like he was like i don't know guys i just like just put the pin in the hole like i don't know what what are you guys talking about so that i mean that one was a little more like oh god what's this guy going to respond with yeah but i thought that one was good and still and still I got responses like you didn't call him an Italian waiter It's like well you can't have it both ways people I didn't want to make it feel awkward Yeah but we did get the strut talking about strut This little strut was incredible

He goes yeah I'll do my little strut All that's shoulders thing So he did we talked to the Maliwood crew And then JT Bryson Fitz Tiger I mean we had we had all kinds of interactions Those are just our guys now

And that's crazy to throw Tiger in that I mean those are our guys We feel comfortable around Tiger Woods now he still makes me nervous he makes me feel nervous because he's a mythical creature and I love him and every time I look at him I like my heart other reason when he make you feel nervous

but but like something about it now where it's like he came over to us on his own will and talk to us and that's things that guys like other guys just aren't doing and that makes that separates him from the pack you know what I mean

totally like Dustin Johnson just walks right by us like doesn't even act like you exist If Dustin Johnson looked at me, I feel like I turn me into stone. No, he's definitely in now the category of people who we have had interactions with, and we could familiarize ourselves to the point where he remembers talking to us. We're in with, like, you know, Robbie Mac is our guy. You guys chatted up with Robbie Mac every time you guys like, see it. Oh, yeah. He's an unbelievable dude.

Joey. Joey. He doesn't love Joey. Love Joey. He's like head nods on the golf course. Like, it's insane. Yeah, it's great. I mean, it's our team.

It's our team. Very seriously. We, of course, take care of the boss man. Every chance we get. absolutely continue to do that. Speaking of the boss man, kind of a weird week. So the boss man, Tiger Woods,

okay, we call him the boss man because we're kind of on the team, and he's our boss. Finish strong. He birdied six of his last 12 holes to shoot a 2-under. He had a really, really tail of two kind of rounds today, I guess you would call it,

like the first six holes. He was four over par. Next 12 holes, he was 600 par. First four holes at least. Our first six holes, it literally looked like he might withdraw. There was, like, rumors if he doesn't look good. There was some stiffness talk. Stiffness, his body, he's got body issues.

He's moving slowly. Is he going to be able to get the ball out of the fucking hole? What is going on here? He went bogey, bogey on the fucking par five sixth hole. He's up there in two, 70 yards out with a wedge and makes a horrific bogey, just slapping it all over the place. And it comes back on seven birdies, seven, birdies eight, and plays last. out from there on in. He was smiling. He was winking. He's doing all kinds of good stuff.

Weird outfit. He had like a red sweater vest over a red mock neck and the two of them were slightly different shades of red. It was weird. Over a red like longs, or a black longsleeve underarmor in the black. Which was like a Kisner look. He legit, he had the Kisner going. It was very strange.

Except Kisner's would be like baggy. He almost does like his baggy arms on his longsne. I like Kisner's look. I've worn that look. Yeah, that is because you have to protect yourself from the correct harmful rays of the sun why two different shades of red you Nike just they just missed on that one he was doing it with the hat with the blue too remember his hat was slightly different shade blue than his shirt that was strange

man I don't know maybe the on maybe the on the grass team for the office just didn't show up the pebble this week something was up I I've never seen the look quite like that from him it's weird too because we got when we go come to this these majors we see how much they practice right they're here Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday and they have to wear like unreal outfits all days like we set to like j t on monday i think like or t like dude why are you wasting this unbelievable outfit on tuesday like these guys have a lot of choices to make when it comes to their alfitting um and i think tiger may have used a couple of good ones during his practice rounds he had that cream that cream uh sweater that thing was unbelievable i like when

he goes believe i think when he goes black top gray pants that oh he looks so good that's one of my favorite looks of his. Really? Yeah. I like when he does gray pants, white shoes, blue shirt, gray hat that matches the pants. Yeah. That's a good one. I love when he wears a tight white shirt.

I do. I do. You know who can't wear a tight white shirt anymore is you because you got puffy nipples. And a little. No, but here's what, but it's not like it's, they don't know what he's going to wear on Sunday, right? They know. They got to have those reds down. You got to have.

those reds matches tiger just you think tiger like has his sunday exactly red like picked out already do you think he has like a like a part of his closet that's like all the reds and he chooses from that like he's no because they script them out oh and they send it out to like media and stuff oh yeah that's like your favorite thing i know i don't know tiger did that though i don't i don't usually see those tiger scripts it out you have to hunt a little further where the hell of the tiger scripts but can someone start tagging me in those yeah i'll fucking get him he'll tagging those I always see his JT script and they're drawn very strangely. JT., if this somehow gets to you, like,

I want to see you in the script. Why do they draw? It's a faceless man in the script. It's a faceless man in the script. They know what you're going to look like, JT. You're not changing your face. You don't need to be a faceless man. You have a great face.

People say he look alike. I like the way he does it more than, like, when Rory does it, they just lay the clothes out. They don't put it on. That's a great look. No, no, no. I like when they lay the clothes out. That's awesome.

It's like coming soon. I like that shit. Like first day of school shit. Love it. No, I like the drawings. It's different. Nope. I don't know.

Like in Clueless, remember they had the thing where she could pick the clothing and you put it on her head. I think they could do the same thing with the, uh, with the line. I would bet almost every golfer, every listener out there has at one point scripted out the night before what they're going to wear the next day on the golf course. I was going to say, oh, I thought you meant like in life, but on the golf course it's a, like, so, almost every single person. Especially like when you've got that fucking tea time book for Saturday morning, probably use spring golf. when you've got that tea time It's early Saturday morning

And you like You've been thinking about it Since Tuesday You've been chirping your buddies About the match that's coming up Then Friday night You're like I'm not gonna do anything too crazy I'm gonna be ready for the round

And you get out the clubs You kind of like clean the grooves You make sure you got balls A couple fresh sleeves of balls And then you're like What am I gonna wear? What's gonna look good with what What's the weather gonna be

You start scripting out your outfit Oh Let's do this That is a great feeling Let's do some common man scripting If you ever You're gonna go out the next morning You're laying out your clothes

the next morning send us a picture. Send us that picture of you. I like the common man scripting. Common man scripting. Maybe we'll throw that in RT. I'd like to see some common man scripting. Me too.

I want to know what people are working with. Especially if it's Peter Mollah. Yeah, Peter Mollars. That's what they should be wearing. Absolutely. It's time for spring cleaning and quips. Got an easy way to start with your brushing habits. Look, I started using the quip a few months ago.

I've talked about on the show. It's an electric toothbrush, okay? It's got this two minute time. Repulses every 30 seconds, lets you know when to switch sides. I've seen some of the other ones out there. They're like these big, kind of, these big, thick, ridiculous. B bulky.

Chunky. All those words we're using, that's what those other ones are. Not quip. Quip is sleek. Quip basically feels better than a normal toothbrush. I was going to say something mean about Trent, but I didn't. I know people just assuming what you're going to say. He actually said something mean about him by saying that you were going to say it.

It's pretty easy to connect the dots on that one. We said big, chunky. bulky. Yeah, you're talking about your nipples. The whole family can get refreshed with quip. The new kid's quip has the same two-minute timer and guiding pulses. Our original version with no childish gimmicks, they can brush just like a grown-up. The new brush, it's the same as the original version, just tweaked for sized-down mouths.

It's got sensitive sonic vibrations for an effective clean that's gentle on your sensitive gums. People who typically brush too hard, and some of the other toothbrushes are too abrasions. are too abrasive. A multi-use cover works as a stand, mounts to mirrors, slides over your bristles to pack and protect your quip on the go. 75% of us use old worn-out bristles that are ineffective, but quip.

They're one of the first electric toothbrushes accepted by the American Dental Association, backed by over 25,000 dental professionals. They have thousands of verified five-star reviews. This is all the reasons that we love quip. This is why I use it every single day, multiple times a day, not to brag. and why over one million happy, healthy miles due to.

Quip starts at just $25 if you go to getquip.com slash four. Right now, you're going to get your first refill pack for free. Again, get your first refill pack free. That's at G-E-T-Q-U-I-P dot com slash four. Tiger, a little tweet here from Tiger Tracker on Tiger's scheduling. Lots of questions about schedule, but sounds like our man is about to shut it down for a bit, said he's going to take some, quote, family time from here. or to ask specifically if he'll play before the British.

He answered, I'll play at home. This guy's only playing the majors. That's just an easy way of saying. It's just a cop-out way of saying that he's only playing majors. He doesn't want to drop that bomb on everyone. And I love it. He's putting people on their toes. Family man.

We all love family men. And that's what he's being right now. I couldn't love this anymore. Family guy, great show. Family guy is a great show. You look like if someone drew you, you could be, no, you'd be an American dad. Maybe. those are i mean the characters

those are drawn very similarly because they're made by the same people but american dad just seen so much more midwestern to me i would prefer to be a family guy i know you would some far more successful show so i don't want to be like roger the alien

i want to be i want to be no you're trent the next door neighbor i'm bobby from king of the hell stool millmore our guy he always made me uh yeah bobby from king of the hell that's so good i am more bobby king of the hell

It's so good. I forgot that was a show. Damn. Is that show even still running? No, I don't think it still is. Well, and they have their characters looking like you. I don't know how we got here. What a shot.

Victor Hovlin. He's got puffy nipples. I do. Victor Hovland. It's actually no one of my nipples, by the way. It's like it's puffy breast tissue. It really is. I have a tiny little nipples.

What was the, oh, we did, when we were playing golf, we did a rigs verse, and there is going to be a screenshot of something. Huffy nipples. Oh, man, Frankie. To the point where it was done at 8 o'clock at night, and I couldn't believe I looked like that the whole day. I was rattled about that. Barely slept.

God, you love seeing a tiger in a tight white shirt. I do. That you can never wear. Victor Hovlin. Victor Hovlin made history Sunday. Posted a 4-under-67. 72 whole total of 280. That breaks.

Jack Nicholus's record. Amateur record of 282 for lowest score by an amateur in the U.S. Open. which had stood for 59 years. Kid's going to be a stud. He already is a stud. He already, Victor Hovlin, has a look to him where if you were to put a silhouette of him,

and if you saw a silhouette version of a couple golfers, you'd know exactly who they are. If I showed you a silhouette of Rory McElroy walking, you're like, that's Rory McAroy. If I showed you a silhouette of tiger swinging or even walking or a putting or anything, that's Tiger Woods. Buying groceries.

Buying groceries. Victor Hovlin has a look where, I noticed it this week. He's got his hat that goes. His hat is just a little up. Yep. He wears his hat up. He's always just a little hunched over. His head's up and he's squinting, smiling all the time, always happy. And he's got this walk to him. And I think everything he's doing right now. Like, I think he's going to be marketable. I think he's going to be very Rorylike. I told that to you guys. I think he just, like, has that game to himself. Like he hits the ball so pure, so far, so confidently. And he's a tiny little guy. Like, not tiny in Matthew Fitzpatrick way. not to take shots on my guy Matt like Patrick but like like Roryway like small come back that we see him may Mike he may I can't get up right now your core strength is in the shortest it's ever well we played 54 holes of golf in the last 24 hours I'm dying Victor Havlin gonna be sick and he went to what Oklahoma State yes he was rocking that orange

all week long yeah which is cool and he's just a really good guy and you could tell that like the players respect him I saw him talking of a ton of players like they were going up to him I'm like dapping him up like this guy's here to stay for sure. Some people were tagging us saying Jack's going to croak now that that record was broken. No, it's not. A couple of people taking some shots at Jack. Uncalled for him, folks. Jack doesn't croak for Victor Hovlin's Jack is a gamer.

Jack's a champion. He's the champion. He only, we only said he's going to croak as his final victory. Like that's correct. He's going to croak to croak to croak to. He's going to dominate Tiger by passing away before Tiger gets the beat him. Right, that's a win. That's not a loss.

I'm not saying he's just going to die to die. Speaking of dominating, Patrick Reed, dominated his wedge, snapped it over his leg on, I think Friday? Was that Friday afternoon? Feels like it was Friday. Yeah. As play was ending, he was like the last guy in the golf course on 18. Big theater kind of comes, you know, trying to gauge one out of the rough properly,

barely landed on the fringe, come up a couple feet short, hangs up in the rough. He just immediately kind of looks around and just snaps the wedge over his leg. Bo Jackson's style. Pretty quickly. Bo Jackson, a couple pieces, hands it like his caddy, and moved on. But this took the internet by storm. It was kind of an odd decision because you know, like, you know everybody's watching. You're become an internet thing. Now, I get you're frustrated.

He's not putting a ton of thought into it. But especially in that environment, it wasn't like he was just on the 13th hole in the middle of the day when there's 8,000 players playing. Yeah. It was the end of the night, prime time in the East Coast, like everybody's watching. and he did that. So it was kind of a wild move by Patrick Reed, but kind of a hard old move too. I think he knew what he was doing.

Like, I'm going to snap this fucking thing. I'm not here to speculate on the reasons why he did that. Well, we know why he did it, but I don't know if there was, you know, other things bubbling below the surface. I know we've seen pictures every time he's playing in a major of

Justine Reed following him around with a notepad. I'm not saying that's why. Which we saw a person, which was a Tuesday? I've almost felt, I almost felt starstruck in that moment because I've seen so many pictures sent in of Justine. on the green with Patrick during a practice round, taking notes. God only knows what's in that notebook.

And then on whole number three, on one of the practice rounds, we went out there and we saw Justine Reed in person taking notes on Patrick Reed's putting. And I felt like I had met Tiger again. She was glistening on this green. She was wearing the brightest clothing you've ever seen your entire life. All these guys are out here getting ready for a major. And all of a sudden, you see the blonde hair just sparkling through the masses of people on the green. You have caddies. You have, you have swing coaches. And then there's Justine Reed in the

miss, in the mix. She's, she's kneeling down. She's reading the greens. She's got her not even fucking talking to her. She's talking to the caddy. Yes. And then the cat, Patrick Reed walks to the fourth T, and she is comparing notes with the caddy. This is his wife. This is his wife that's just in the mix. And I'm not saying that he's getting sick of like, I'm not saying that he's getting to his breaking point, but it's hard to argue that he's not getting Then a few days later, he's breaking clubs over his fucking leg. It's just, it was a lot for me to handle watching. Like, like, Patrick Reed is just looking around like, I can't, like, I don't know, guys.

Like, you just, I don't know. I would pay $350 to get the contents of that notebook. Oh, just. I just want to know what they say. It was so funny when she'd be comparing. Where'd you come up with 350? I had, I had a couple of numbers bouncing around to my head. I thought 500 was too high.

I thought 200 was too low. 350 is where I landed. If she came up to you on Tuesday and said, give me $350 cash, I'm going to give you this notebook, you would have exchanged that? Yes. And then expensed it. Yeah. Nice. We'd go through.

Are you kidding? We'd post every content on 4Play pod. Oh, man. There's been a lot of good pictures of her and her and Patrick Reed, but one of my favorites was a picture of her at Bethpage just sitting down, like on the ground in the middle of the fairway at Bethpage Black. Yeah. Just sitting. Don't know what she was doing. Patrick wasn't around.

but they're uh you know like i said i'm not going to speculate on what's driving patrick reed so crazy but there could be the answer right there's girlfriends friends they all show up during the practice rounds like we were walking with justin thomas his mom was there he had an unbelievably nice crew that was walking with him during one of the practice rounds great there's always people that are in the mix but like well fuck me when you see the like you see patrick reed's wife up there reading greens that was a stunning stunning thing to witness i mean everyone else is hanging back, right? It was crazy. The people that were talking about, JT's mom and all that,

they're legit holding, like, merch that they bought and staying 100 yards away. And if J.T. happens to, like, comment to them, they, like, chime in. She was running the show. Running the show. She was comparing notes with the caddy. She was reading the green.

It was like, the other guys that he was playing a practice round with had to, like, organize their practice structure on that green around Justine Reed. If they wanted to hit flop shots to a certain pen. They had to wait until she was done kneeling down there reading that part of the green until they could proceed.

I just know that when he gets back from around, she just, he's sitting at the dinner table, and he's like frustrated, whatever, he just snapped his club. And all of a sudden, just from behind him, and he's looking forward at his table, he just sees a book just slam to his left. And it makes the most thunderous noise you've ever heard. She's just like a judge slamming a gavel. That's her book that she wrote. and she has some new notes on page 85

and she just goes, read it. And she walked away and he just like licks his finger. He licks his finger, opens up the book and just fucking eats his dinner and reads this fucking notebook. It's in the notebook? Read it.

Patrick? It's right here. Read it. And just walks away and slams the door. I love their relationship so much. Oh my God, they're my favorite couple of all time. Highline Wellness. It's an NYC-based CBD company

His last nine major championships. He has gone first place. Tied for sixth. Tied for 13th. First place. Tide for 39th. First place. Tide for second. First place. Second place. First place. That doesn't make any sense to me. I mean, this guy, that's unbelievable.

You're playing against 100, 150 people. These guys are unbelievably good from Molinari to Tiger to Justin Rose, to JT, to DJ, all these guys and how fucking good they are at the game of golf. And he comes out here and

posts that record in the last nine major championships that he played in. It's outstanding. The fact that he was that close to going back, two back, two back, two back. at the U.S. Open after just defending his PGA championship title in dominating fashion out at Bethpage Black, it's just really you can't say enough things about him. He still, I believe, to this point, he has just six PGA tour wins, is that right?

And he's got four of our majors. He's got that record right there that we just listed in the major championships. The guy is just the definition of a gamer. He brought it today. He shot all four rounds, I believe, in the 60s. Yes, I'm looking right here. He's got six PGA Tour wins, four of a major championships. And again, he's got that stretch up going first, second, first, second in the last four majors that he's played in.

I mean, he's Brooks fucking kept going. He's amazing. He always looks good on the golf course. He always looks confident. It was kind of crazy to see him, like, have a regular hole on 18, like, where he didn't chip one in from behind the green and he didn't make the long birdie putt. like watching him just play a hole like a normal golfer was kind of stunning and not seeing him like do things that are just superhuman because we're just no actually it's yeah i mean he really did i mean he had a fucking three wood down the pipe and then hit a three iron that landed right next to the pin

on a 550 yard like par five yeah i'm saying from there though it was just like very average like kind of like miss hit his well they say it was a sticky uh what they say it was a sticky lie everyone's saying yeah it was just kind of like tangley like you don't know exactly what's going to come out of that It's like Brooks Kepka puts that either in or like to the edge of the hole. And then like then Gary Willen has to step up and has to make a par to win. Like it's just it was just it was odd to see him not be superhuman and actually. That's just a testament of how good he's been recently. It's insane.

Good for Brooks Kepka. It's again, it's hard to kind of overstate how dominant he's been in major championships for the last couple of years. And there's really no reason to believe that he won't continue to do that with the British Open coming up in a month. And then even just going forward, he was so close to winning at Augusta. He would have made a couple of those putts down the stretch on the last few holes. Tiger would have to really, you know, grind it out and not been able to have that cushion coming down. And then easily today, he could have putted again. A few of those holes coming in.

He made a couple of bogies, but then again, a couple of those holes. I mean, at 18, he was so close to having an eagle bid and ended up making par. And so he's that freaking close on. and when he's not even just that close, he just wins. He's won four majors the last couple of years. It's crazy town. So good for Brooks Kebka. Awesome to watch.

The boys played golf, like we mentioned. We started yesterday morning, Saturday morning. We played Spy Glass Hill. We, along with being out here, being involved in the U.S. Open, the coverage, trying to give as many interviews as we can with those guys. We also have said. We're going to make many more golf videos of us playing golf. So we've got videos from Spyglass, from Paso

and from Monterey Peninsula Country Club in PCC, the Dunes course that will be coming out that we filmed at each one of these things. We had a great match on, we had a couple great matches on Saturday, but we had Saturday morning Spyglass it was Trent Daddy and myself against Frankie and Whitdog. We ran that match back again.

We're not going to give away the results because I think Whitney was in this, I think he's right, that we kind of want to. to protect all that because now that the wager has been made and that we have our own match coming up in the next few months hopefully. Yep. Between Whitney and myself for betting, for speculation, for hype, all that.

We don't want to give away exactly what happened in our match, but we'll just say that there were two different matches played and at the end of the day, each team got the better of the other at some point. Yeah, I think that's fair to say. I think that's a fair thing to say. I think that's a good way to explain how the matches came out. We played three unbelievable golf tracks. Unbelievable.

Crazy fake life shit being able to play these golf courses. It just, it seems like we're being spoiled. Like, it's crazy. Like, I can't believe every single. Yeah. It's like, yeah, we are. It seems that way it's because we are. We are being spoiled because every time I step up to a first tee,

it's another world-class golf course. I'm not playing fucking Eisenhower Blue anymore. I'm playing Pasa Tiampo and Pebble Beach and Monterey Peninsula. It's crazy, man. These golf courses are insane. And boy, oh, boy, is my game not ready to play these things? Because I am playing, like, baby poop. God, you said that earlier, and I don't like when you describe things like that.

We were eating earlier when you said that. We were eating spicy Chipotle tacos. And I said, how did you play today? And you said, like, baby poop. Riggs just fell. Riggs just fell off the couch. You're probably going to see video that at some point because you need help? Do you need a life alert now?

No, no situation where I got to do like a fucking app. Let it's the number to get out of this thing. This is a life alert commercial right now. I've fallen down. I need help to get up. Yeah, you said, I just, I don't want you to describe things like baby poop anymore. It's just soft and it's mushy. You know what?

I'm going to do, you know how we do like a what's up doc thing? I want to do something for golf tips and instructions. I want, I want pros or, you know, guys that really know how to swing the golf club to send in tips and videos and instructions and, and things for me to practice. Haven't you had every, like, PJ's tour? do that for you. Yeah, for chipping. But I'm talking about my swing now.

I'm talking swing playing. Do you want free and structural advice from some of the best players in the world? My franchise short game at MPCC today on the front nine was nothing short of, I would say, Tiger Woods-esque in his pride. Dude, it was crazy. He hit some shots to ships three. I thought you said you sent people screaming because you hit a house. Well, that was off the tea. Oh, okay, okay.

Sorry. My drive has completely abandoned me. But yeah, I was, I was, I was. I was hitting some wedge shots, cute little wedges. Cute with these little tight bounces and spins. He had a downhill lie from like 20 yards off the green on an unbelievably tight, tightly mowed fairway to a pin like in the middle of the green with a big knob in front of it. He fucking pitched this thing perfectly, a couple hops on the green checked and then rolled out like five more feet. Almost went in the goddamn hole.

I'm telling you. I still do have the butternives and the skull fucks because I did hit a couple horrible ones today. It's not completely cured. But the Kevin Kisner metronome, for anyone that doesn't know, we FaceTime with Kevin Kisner right before the U.S. open. I think it was like Wednesday night. He was sitting home. We were here in our mansion and our backyard striping golf balls into the sun. And I was just chipping around and we FaceTime Kisner.

And he said that everything I'm doing is just in fast-forward. motion, like when you're chipping and you're shirking, everything should be slow. If anything, like, your back swing should be, like, quick to your apex and then nice and smoothly down. And he said, practice with a metronome. You can download a metronome app. You can put it, he puts it at 67 is the speed of the beat. And basically, I thought he said he puts his at like 63 and years needs to be at 67. No, we missed, we mistaken that.

Okay. He said that it's, mistook that. I was going to say, but that sounded wrong. Mistook that. misspoke. No, we mislistened. You missed it. So he said that he had his set of 64 when he was showing it to us, but that's not the correct one.

Anyway, you said it at 67, and on the first beep should be your takeback, and on the second beep should be your contact. So that's how you should practice. I'm now telling you how to hit your wedge shots. What a fucking world we live in. But now I need help with my swing plane. I'm dipping my left shoulder. I'm a left knee. I'm dipping my back shoulder.

and I'm just pulling up on everything. I can't hit a drive anymore. I can't hit down with my irons anymore. I'm picking everything clean. I'm basically scooping now. I don't know if there's something wrong with my abdomen or my shoulder where I'm like hurt and I can't like come down anymore. I'm like doing something different.

But something, my swing just changed. So send me what I need to do to fix that. I want to be able to come down on the ball. I want to take divots. I want to hit my drive again. All things are relative. I'm by far the worst call for this group. But I feel good about my game.

Trent out of the most fairways of the, entire group and that is not over exaggerating. Spyglass Hill, I felt great. My drives were great. My chipping is very much coming around. I got more feel, the more I play. My irons are still a disaster. I also scoop.

That's my biggest problem when I try to hit my irons. I just can't hit those. You know what you shot at SpyGlas? I shot 107. Wow! At Spyglass. You played great, man. I did.

We're coming a long way from the 144 at Bethpage. Like I said, like these guys said, a really hard golf course. I'm driving it. I'm driving it great. I hit a million fairways. Um, the putting is okay. The chipping is coming around.

The irons are a disaster. Uh, but I hit the three wood good. Hit the hybrid pretty well. Yeah, man. I feel good about it. Yeah, you shot 107. That's, I mean, think about that difference on a world class golf course. Yeah.

In competition against like Whitney and like you needed to make big shots. Like it was a fucking really good score. I think I shot 49, 419. Um, I got to get rid of the 49s. I'm making double bogies on three holes in a row. It's like shit like that just needs to go away. I need help. Uh,

And we're not going to give away Riggs or Whitney's score. But it was, it was tight and it was good. It's going to be fun. Super fun day. It was a really fun day. And Pasa Tempo is hard. It's a great course. It's a beautiful course.

The third hole at Pasa Tampo is the hardest golf hole in the world. That's my humble opinion, but it's the hardest hole I've ever played. So we played Spiglass Hill, Premier Track. What do you guys think about Spyglass? Because it is tricky. Spyglass is different in that. There's like five holes. The first five holes in Spyglass are on the ocean.

It feels like you're in model. It feels like you got that Pebble Beach kind of Spanish Bay type vibe when you're overlooking the Pacific Ocean. And then you go back into the trees like you could be in North Carolina for the next 14 holes. So if you were to ask me this after we played Spygdice, I'd say it's like one of my top three golf course I've ever played. But then we went and played Monterey Peninsula Country Club and also we played Pasoiteeempo. And after playing all those three, I'm going to say that Monterey Peninsula was my favorite. Paso Tiampo was my second favorite and Spyglass was my third. favorite. I don't know if it's just, I don't know why. And I think I played worse at both

Paso, Paso Tampa and Monterey, but I just thought that those were unbelievable. Everything is unreal. That's why it's so stupid talking about this stuff. Every single fucking course is unbelievable. One's not better than the other. They're all sick. They're all world class. But like, I just thought Monterey Peninsula looks so cool. I don't know if it was the fog on the first couple of holes. It felt like we were playing in Jurassic Park Trent. It is very tricky to talk about courses because how many times can, when somebody says how was positive you have, how many times

how many different ways can you say? It was awesome. Right. Alastair McKenzie, of course. He said there's rumors that he liked it more than Augusta. Now he wasn't alive when Augusta was finished. He can't come on and defend that. He can't come on to defend it. I made a funny little joke when they said, oh, Alistair McKenzie

built his house. He loved this place so much. I chose to like die here. He bought his, he built his American home on the sixth fairway. It's still there to this day. It's got like green shackles on the outside of it or whatever that's shingles on the outside of it. Um, and I was like, oh, is he home? And no one laughed. I mean, the, the member that was like, the guy who was with us, the catty was like, no, he's actually, he's fucking dead, dude. He's been dead for you guys, you guys are right about the course thing. I would say I like

Spygos more and it's solely based that I played much better than. Yeah, no, that always, always, always, always has a factor. Yes. Plays a factor. And I, Pasa Tampa looked like Augusta, though. Like, I, it just looked. Yes. It was nuts, man. It's got those holes that, like, combine, like, like, the, the runoff from the green will, like, attach to, like, the runoff from the T-box on some hole.

Like, everything is, like, one long green, luscious green fairway. Everything's one big fairway. Which one's the hole with the, uh, the hallway of trees? Oh, that's like the corridor. What was like the sixth, fifth or sixth hole? I've never seen a hole quite like that. And it's, it's hard as shit because, I mean, my drive definitely hit one of the shout out to the golfers out here in California.

California, California, especially the Monterey Peninsula and all these cypress trees that are around here, these fucking things. All right, anyone from the East Coast,

probably even the Midwest, and I mean, anywhere else actually, that has regular trees, if you, like, clip a tree or you hit a drive and, like, whatever,

and it clips a tree, like, usually it still goes in the direction that's supposed to go, especially if you hit the top of it, it'll, like, hit a branch,

and it'll just keep going, but it'll lose some distance. When you hit these fucking trees in this area of California, it, like, hits a chain link fence. basically and just drop straight down. I can't tell you how many times

I hit pure shots. I mean, pure in the sense that like I made great contact. I pushed it a little bit out where I was aiming that way and it was like it needed just a little more time to come back in or maybe just nick like the top of the tree and it just went straight down. I almost like took a chainsaw out and knocked

down all these trees. The cypress tree ejection is unlike anything else. You just you think, oh, I see a little gab that's going to get through there. it hits like four different fucking branches it's almost like it captures it in a net and then throws it back at you and I know that Californians are listening to this like shaking their head

like I fucking know what you're talking about man because these things are brutal and they're everywhere and on top of all that the pins at Paso were very difficult they were mean they were mean that is what they were they were mean the forecadia he kept saying these are the hardest pins I've ever seen out here and it's our busiest day of the year

shout out to our caddy he was an awesome dude guy's a stick. Got caddied for us. Watch me hit some of the worst golf shots of all time. And then he picked up a club when Whitney left. Whitney had to leave because he was going to miss his flight. He freaked out and just buzzed off the golf course. He just took all your personal belongings.

Left my bag in the middle of the fairway and just left on like the 13th or 14th hole. And Chris just took some like took some shots at this and was just, his first shot was on a par three, one of the hardest holes in the course and just stuck it to like five feet. It was one of the craziest things he's ever seen. But anyway. my first feeling about Chris was we step up to this place

we just played 18 and a spyglass in the morning we get to Paso Tia but it was about an hour drive I get up to the first T it's an unreal shot it's like a perfectly straight hole with like an unbelievably manicured fairway you see Monterey Peninsula

in the background you can like basically see where Feble Beach is and he's like he looks at me I'm like man this is a beautiful hole he goes yep one of the hardest fucking golf courses I'll ever play he goes you guys are fucked and I looked at him like now who the hell are you to get that in my head right now I'm like you you just talk to

a mental patient and I'm done like I am done now he did say he said 6500 yards hardest course of ever play yeah he goes 6500 playing 8000 I'm like what are you talking about Chris let he hit a ball he was so I was coming off spy glass we had the itch because like you know we've been playing Trent Daddy

and I you know we felt great like we had a good match we're like we're just like let's roll let's keep playing golf we go up to Paso tempo. I had like at Spy, I had like four birdies. I shot one of my low rounds of the year. Played great. I started at Paso Tampa.

I started double, double, double. That place is an fucking war zone if you don't have your game. But that is one of maybe the most impressive architecturally golf course I've ever seen where they just, Alistair McKenzie, who again designed Augusta National with Bobby Jones, who designed Cyprus Point, and he also designed Paso Teampo. It's like his baby. He loved it.

He took care of it. What's the thing with the old course of St. Andrews? A lot of it was like inspired. A lot of what he did was inspired by the old course. They had a shrine to him at Paso Tiampo, and there was a huge, like, scorecard of the old course at St. Andrews, and it was like his signature on the, it was like weird. He had nothing to do with the architecture there, right?

No. Okay. But they just took a lot of, you know, guys like him took a, ton of inspiration. They would go, like, study the old course. And then basically try to apply a lot of their favorite characteristics from the old course to the way that they would design in the States. But I have to say, Apostatea Tampo, again, it was maybe the most impressive kind of

footprint of great architecture that I've ever seen in my life. So sick. The bunkering, the way it just makes the whole stand out and pop. The green complexes, all the different pins that they could put on these greens. Even down to like the fairways and the way a couple of the different fairways rolled and they had these giant slopes in the fairways. So it just kind of tricked out the holes a little bit made them really unique. And it was just unlike anything else I've ever seen. How about that half pipe in the middle of the one fairway?

Just a fucking half pipe in the middle of the middle of my first. I was having stolen driving. Put snow on that thing and Sean White's like I got to go there. It was unreal. It was literally a half pipe of purely manicured green. I have a fairway have no idea how they even get mowers down there. It's one of the craziest things that this world has ever seen. but I finally striped a three wood for the first time all day.

And everyone's like, great shot, baby draw. You're living, Frankie. I get up there. I'm just in the middle of the half pipe. It was like, I looked around like, is somebody here hate me? Like, what is there like a little person walking out and just putting my ball just in all the worst places? That will be in the four play versus posit tempo video. I got some good footage of that fucking half pipe.

And I think Frankie's standing right in the middle of it. You can see just like the other, the sides of the fairway. that are the normal like elevation are just way higher than Frankie and Frank is standing in the middle of the fair way. Never seen anything quite like that. No. It was on any golf course. It was such a cool place. I do, I think I agree with you, Frankie.

I think my favorite course of the three that we've played in again, Spyglass is, I think the 11th ranked best public course in America. So Spyglass is unbelievable. But I do think I would go MPCC Dunes course is that's one of my favorite course. courses I've ever played. It's unreal how good it is. The mix. It's in the trees. Then you go out to the ocean. Fantastic architecture. I think it might be Seth Rainer might have something to do with that. It almost feels like you're on like an island course. Like the way it's like everything's just white, white dunes and then perfectly green, fairway in the middle. You feel like, I mean, I guess you've forgotten that we're in California. Like I guess it is a California course. It's like a warm area and stuff. But like to me, I've never seen a golf course like that. I've never got island golf. I mean, I saw so much of the dune that I still have sand in my shoes right now. A lot of dunes out there on the dunes course. And Frankie found all of them. I would almost maybe say MPCC and Paso Tiambor like 1A, 1B to me from this trip.

And then spyglass would be two. It's just like if you're going 1A1B. Both those courses are so incredible to me in the architecture and the bunkering and how they're able to take like even some of the more mundane pieces of the property. and make them just visually stunning with their bunkering and their layering and all that. So those two places are just as good as it gets. MPCC is probably, might be the greatest golf club facility on the planet. I mean, they have 36 holes. They have two different driving ranges.

One of them you legit just hit out towards the ocean. There's a second range that is on the ocean. You hit out. I mean, you don't hit into the ocean, but you're elevated. And then all of your shots, you watch them in the air with the backdrop. backdrop is the Pacific Ocean. They have this gorgeous sprawling clubhouse kind of up at the

precipice of the property that's got on both sides. You can overlook the prudding green that's right there. You can see the fucking ocean from the putting green from the practice green. It's just a shocking 36-hole private facility with both golf courses

are off the charts. The other ones, the short course that has even more water holes, as you might imagine, than the dunes course does. But that was golf experience. We do have a video from each one, so all the stuff we're describing, you are going to not just have to visualize it and imagine it, but you're going to see it. Plus our full round from Pebble will come out as well. Yes. We played that a couple weeks ago. We do have that. After playing these other courses,

which are a little more like, well, Paso Tampa was long, but NPCC and Spyglass are a little more like you have to be creative and you can hit hot irons and three woods off the tea. Makes you think back to when we played Pebble Beach, how much of an absolute monster pebble beach of a golf course that that is in the way that we played it that played it like so long we played it 25 mile an hour wind and the whole back man was straight into the wind like you're looking about like holes like six and like an eight and which i pard by the way um man there were some guys this week who would have taken your shot brooks kepka would have taken my shot the guy lost by two and he made a bogey on he he would have taken your shots

you think you think you would have taken my shot i think so i think so too damn you know who would have taken it was spath when he uh spaths screamed at greller yeah Yeah. That's when we got our credentials checked. That was on that hole when he was doing that. We were following speed. He said, I haven't seen you take one picture. It's on the sheet. Read it.

Why don't you read that sheet? Why don't you go home and do some reads? Why don't you put those soft clothes on and do some reading, buddy? And you get back to me and you tell me where you can stand. But first, read it. Read it. All right. I think that's pretty much all I got.

I'm exhausted. I'm really tired. I cannot. I don't know that anybody's ever really said this before, nor will they sympathize with this. but I for one cannot wait to leave Pebble Beach me too it's been too long I'm very excited I don't remember why apartment looks like I don't remember what my roommate looks like

We've been we've been in the new office at Barstall HQ What like eight times since it's been open We've just been traveling just because of just because of like I'd be like three U.S. Open Media Day then we went straight to We were on PJ before that We had the PGA for the full week US Open Media Day

Then we had fucking the Stanley Cup Seattle Oh then we went to Seattle. Oh, I went back home. Straight to Boston. Yeah, we went straight from Meaday to Seattle, straight to Boston.

Then we did St. Louis. Then we came back to New York for one day. Went to St. Louis. Back to Boston? Mm-hmm. And then back to New York and then straight to Pebble.

I can't wait to leave Pebble Beach. I don't mean that. I love you, Pebble Beach. I love Monterey California. I'm not complaining because we're staying in a mansion. We're getting to meet guys who fuck like Tommy Fleetwood. We are meeting Tiger Woods and we're watching the U.S.

Open. but I'm tired. Sometimes you just want to go home. We're getting to my routine. Shout out to the Californians who actually, there's a lot of stooleys out here. Yeah. I was actually pleasantly surprised with how much.

Yeah, we obviously knew out of Beth Pager's going to be a ton of stooleys in New York area. A ton of stooleys. But there were a ton out here. A lot of butter knives, a lot of a lot of a whole deal. What was that noise? What? Did somebody fart? Who just, you did?

Producer Jake just shit himself. Producer Jake let out a fart like I've never heard before. I didn't know if it was the chair moving or he said he just shit himself. So I think that's a good way to just end. We're all going to go in and you can come in last and you can figure out so we won't watch you walk in. You can figure out your situation. I don't you think about what's going on down there's tears in his eyes and pooping his pants. You're in a bad place, my friend.

It's like the way I drove. I'm with you guys. I'm ready to get out of Pilb Beach. We've got a whole day of travel tomorrow and I'm ready to get back to New York. That was gross, Jake. She's fucking gross. All right. I think that's a podcast.

Hit it hard. Hit it hard.
