Foreplay, episode 15, it is Wells Fargo Championship Week. Riggs. I'm joining my friend Trent. Hello. Hello. Hello. We're going to get into our weekends. We have a massive episode, Foreplay, presented by Barstool Sports. Shout out to Barstool Sports. Oh, I love Barstall Sports. Big fan.

Huge fan of Barstall Sports. Thank you for presenting us. Feels good. We have maybe the most jam-packed episode we've ever had. We have as guests, Hall of Fame, Third Basement, George Brett. What a beauty. What a beauty, huge golfer. Huge golfer.

Yeah, we weren't sure they were like, George Brett's coming in. Do you guys want to interview him? We're like, I guess we will. And I'm like, why would we do that? Huge golf guy. He's won the Pebble Beach Pro Am playing with Freddie Couples before. He tells all kinds of good stories. He was in the office.

We got that coming up. We also checked in with our boy Willie Wilcox. Yep. Who finished T-14 this weekend at the Zurich Classic with partner Freddie Yackemson. Yep, Mr. You Gotta be Fist Fucking Me. He was the start of that whole thing. He was the start of that whole thing. Set off a revolution.

Huge revolution. Many people now say that on the golf course. We're going to check in. We're going to go through the PGA. We got LPGA drama from yesterday. We got From the Gallery, some pretty funny stories. Big, big episode. We're going to kick it off.

by talking a little bit about our weekends. Yeah. Trent, you were in Philadelphia. I was in Philadelphia. Did you ever been to Philly? It was my first time in Philly, checking all the sites. I didn't actually see all the sites. I did the thing where when you go to a city and you were like,

oh, there's a lot of history here. I'm going to check out all the things. It wasn't a bar for 72 straight hours. Didn't really see anything. I stopped by the draft. That was cooler than I thought it was going to be. Oh, yeah, I even think about the draft. Yeah, we stopped by there.

I thought it was going to be just in an auditorium, but instead it's a whole festival where they have zip lines and they have monument. You can take pictures and all this stuff. It's outdoors. Okay. Which was okay. It was really hot the day we went there, so it wasn't that great. But, yeah, Philly was cool.

I was inside a bar for most of it. So I give Philly like a nine out of ten. Because they have bars. Because they have bars. I mean, that's a very, very good point where everyone's like, oh, you went to Baltimore or whatever. How was it? I was like, well, I went into a bar. Yeah.

And when it was dark out and I was there until like two in the morning. And then I got really drunk and went home, went to sleep and woke up and went home there. Like when my parents, they've never been out to the East Coast, but they're going to come visit me at some point. They want to do the D.C., Philly, New York, the whole thing. They're in their 60s and almost 70s now. They're going to go sightseeing because they want to fill their day. They've done the drinking thing.

I'm still in my late 20s. I'm going to go out and get boozed up at any town that I'm in. That's actually a really good point because I honestly feel like when people ask me if they're visiting New York, what should they do all that? I've never visited New York City. I don't know anything about it. Yeah. I go to work, which is where my office is.

I know where the office is. I leave work and go to a bar and just drink all night and then I go home. I don't like go out. I don't see New York. Yeah. So I'm actually the opposite. I visited New York once, but it was before I lived here. I came here with Hank three years ago.

I made videos and stuff. Did all the touristy stuff on purpose. But if you just come here and live here before visiting, you just go to bars. So I've never been to New York. I've just been to the establishments that I also am at in normal cities. You live in New York. You've never been to New York. So my weekend was a little different.

They own. Four of us went out. We played Bayonne on Saturday. Francis, our good co-worker, Francis Ellis, got us out there. His uncle's a member, nicest guy in the world, said, boys, I want you to go out and play Bayonne. Shout out to him. Gigantic, thank you. Frankie Barely joined us in Captain Conn's from Zero Blog 30 fame.

That was our foursome. We had heard a lot about this place for those that don't know. Bayonne Golf Club is on the water over by the Jersey loading docks in New Jersey. on the water, like I said, there's like a ferry that takes you out there. The place, it's magical. It's a links course. Built.

If you were following the Foreplay on Instagram, you would know this because there were lots of videos up there. Go follow us at Foreplay Pod. We couldn't stop putting stuff up there. So very, you know, it's a very nice, very exclusive club that has a great reputation. It's badass. Dan Hicks is like narrating all of their helicopter

tours on their website and everything. So it's like legit. Yeah. So we're super pumped. We have like a 115 PMT time. So we're like, let's get there early. Let's get there at like 1030 or 11. Let's soak up the whole property.

We'll get lunch. We'll do the locker and we'll do all that. So we get there. Trent, I've never been to a place in my life. Every fucking person that works there is a stoolie. No way. Everybody.

Get out of here. Everybody in the pro shop. I'm like, I'm like, hi, I'm Sam. They're like, oh, Riggs. I know who you. That's got to make you feel pretty good. Like, all right.

Like literally everybody. So then it's a caddy only situation. You've got to take caddies when you play. Our caddies, huge stories. They, like, requested us. They're, like, telling us about the T-sheet. We had thought we were, like, coming in real, you know, covert. Yeah, yeah.

Francis's guys or whatever. They were, like, no, as soon as we saw all your guys' names on the sheet, we just wrote Barstool. What a perk of this podcast. It was crazy. People were, like, coming out of the fucking woodworks being like, oh, Reg. So we get there early. We start taking a bazillion Instagram. because the place is beautiful.

We get to go up in this lighthouse that's, like, way, way up high. You've got to go through this dangerous-ass staircase. I'm a very clumsy walker to begin with. Yeah. So it's like, if you trip and fall, your toast, go up there. We already a couple cocktails in. I don't say you guys gas and beers this whole thing. Crushing them.

Yeah. We couldn't help it. We were like, so we go out, we check out the lighthouse. We get a really nice lunch. We go down to the range. The range is like a small little strip of land that could basically only fit width-wise, people hitting golf balls. on the water.

So you're just hitting balls out into the Hudson. Apparently they float. What? You hit balls into the Hudson River. They just float out there. It's crazy. It was nuts. We're soaking up the range experience.

We obviously, you know, we get out, we play 18 holes. We have a great match. Ended up being all square at the end. We got very, we got probably a little too drunk. Yeah. On the course. Our caddies were drinking with us. Is that allowed?

Are you putting them on blast? They probably got a little too drunk, to be honest with you too. It sounds like it's allowed because we were, you know, certain golf clubs are very stuffy. That's like the M.O. and golf. Right. It's kind of why we started this podcast to be, you know, anti that. Yeah. This club's cool as shit.

They're talking about their members. The members love to have drinks, crank drinks while they're out there. Yeah. Playing on Saturday, Sunday afternoon. It was a great experience. So shout out to Bayonne. The course is top notch. It's tough, but very fair.

Incredibly fun course to play. A lot of fescue. A lot of rolling hills. Hills, like you said, it's very lynxy. Right. So the ground's firm, fast. The views are incredible. You can see a Statue of Liberty.

You can see Freedom Tower. You've got giant ships in the background. See, you visited New York. That's a New York thing right there. That was a visiting New York thing I've ever done. One thing I did not know when I was watching the snaps and the Instagrams. I didn't know our guy, Frankie Borelli, previous guest on this podcast, was a lefty. Lefty.

Lefty. Stunning moment on the range. When Frankie pulled out a club and started swinging, we were like, what? Crazy. Yeah, you think you can tell a guy. It's lefty, but you just, we couldn't. Yeah, is he left-handed? I don't know.

I don't know. We didn't really get into it. I don't really know, but you just assume everybody's a righty. I just looked at him bewildered. I felt a little betrayed. We went on a golf trip the whole time, and then he didn't mention it once. It was weird. It was a weird moment.

You think he would say, like, oh, rooting for Phil Mickelson because we're one and the same. Right. You would think so. Drop a little hint like that, but no. Anyway, we had some great meals. We had a little snacks and dinner afterwards. Speaking of snacks and dinners and meals, Rigsiecksey. Tell me.

It was a very, it was a quick trip, quick day trip. Yeah, flew into New Orleans in the morning and then flew out very the next day. But it was an action-pack day for us. Action-packed day. our good friends from chefs cut real jerky look I've heard a lot of different pitches in my life they kept saying tender it's delicious it's great this shit is fantastic

this isn't you're not this isn't an ad read they already paid for their stuff they already got their stuff we put out videos we put out Instagrams and put out tweets I put the shit my bag at Bayonne for the Saturday round it's just delicious it stays delicious it's really good so that's the big thing it stays delicious you can have it through the whole round doesn't go bad anything like that's unreal so chefs cut

They fly us down, shooting a little video with our boys, Beef, Andrew Beef, Johnston, Kyle Rifers, their teammates. They had a good weekend, by the way. Yep. They finished, I believe, T29. I'm looking on my notes right here, T29, 14 under. So we get there. This whole thing, like I said, we've been working with Chef's Cut. Hey, you guys are going to go on the range.

You're going to shoot a video with these guys. You're going to promote Chef's Cut. You're going to do a team bonding thing. We get there. We basically, I've really never seen anything. like it security wise which there was none none there was no security zero security should we say that we were we had applied for media credentials and we were granted media credentials but not credentials where we could film on site correct we got media credentials we were not allowed to film on site

nope but we showed up with a camera crew and an audio crew and everything fully planning to film on site yeah clearly rolled up like hey this is our sound guy this is our film guy we walked right by security. They didn't even think to ask us for anything. So one thing, we're standing in the parking lot like normal pedestrians, and then boom, you walk, you cross the line, and we're near the range, near the putting, all that stuff within two seconds. Yep, we just put our phones up to our ears, like we were really busy. Yeah. And we just waved at people as we walked by them. Like, oh, yeah, thanks a lot for having us. Thanks for the check. And we're walked right by him. Lesson for any of you kids out there. If you act like you're supposed to be somewhere, people are

going to assume you're supposed to be there. Two seconds later, we're standing on the range, Speeds right next to us with his boy, Palmer, who's our guy, beef, rifers. We could interview Justin Rose. We saw him in the parking lot past security. They were just like, we were just normal guys. Basically bullied Justin Rose off the sidewalk, walking into this thing with two, with a cameraman and an audio woman with us. Yep. They were dressed head to toe and all black, by the way.

So we did not blend in. They could not have looked more like a crew of video people in sound people that are supposed to not be there. So anyways, we filmed the video, very funny video. go, well, you can't check it out anymore. We're going to get into that. Couldn't have been happier. Couldn't have been happier with how the video turns out. Chef's Cup.

Chef's got people love it. Everybody loves it. Everybody loves it. Beef's laughing. He's having a good time. Rifers is laughing. They're all pumped up. Thanks for coming down, boys.

We did have a good time with those, too. Awesome time. Those guys are, beef is as cool as he's, you know, hyped up to be, even cool we're doing in real life. There is the fear with a guy like that guy like he can't be that cool all the time. A guy who's happy to see everybody. like the golf media over, does it? Yeah, and then you meet him, and he's immediately smiling and cracking jokes.

Jolly British dude. Yep. So, him and I talked about, him and I talked about Nas and the roots. He's a big hip-hop guy. I couldn't have been more lost during this conversation. You were.

But I did enjoy the fact that my friend Trent and beef were bonding over something. It was nice. So we're doing all this. We're having a good time. We filmed the video. Come back the next day.

And then, now, two days later. Two days later. The video goes up. Two days later. So on Thursday it goes up. And then Friday, somebody, the sales team gets a call from the PGA tour. PGA tours live it.

They are not happy. PGA tour says there is an appalling and unacceptable amount of F bombs. You did not have permission. You have to take these videos down immediately. You have to take it down. They're like, there's too many swear words in this video. You guys didn't have permission to be there. Take it down.

Furious with us. threatening, very threatening manner. Yep. So we go, we take the videos down. Now, look, were they right? No, yes. We didn't have permission to go in there. That's true.

So they're right on that part, I guess. But it was, the video only promotes their event. That's all it does. We're at the Zurich Classic with two guys that are playing in the Zurich Classic, with guys that cover golf and are therefore covering the Zurich Classic. It's a very fun video. We didn't hurt anybody. We didn't attack anybody.

No. I would say it's the very very very. opposite. Everyone had a good time. It was a good promotion for all the brands. If the BJ tour, we, I mean, we didn't have to go public with this. We didn't want to, but you guys were being dicks about it. Stop being dicks. Just let us do what we want to do. It's good content. I didn't even say in the video that Ian Poulter's an asshole. I didn't say that I hate Billy Shorthold because he's dickhead. I didn't say any of those things. Bob Wats of Stinks. Didn't say any of that. We were very friendly, very positive. Bob,

looks like you want to say something. For the people that didn't see the video, why don't you describe it quickly? We went in like we were team building consultants. Team bonding consultants, whatever you want to say, because it's a team event. It's never been a team event in 36 years. So we're going to teach these guys how to become a team. We ate beef jerky out of each other's mouths.

We did trust falls. We did blind chips. Like you said, we ate beef turkey out of our mouth, which was a great bonding. Just a good friendship thing, really. Yep. Doesn't have anything about team. So we did all those things.

You ran through a bunch of that stuff for those guys. So basically the video promoted friendship. Yep. Team bonding. Becoming closer with your friends. Eating beef jerky, chef's cut. Good salted meats. Chef's cut. The Zurich Classic, which is the PGA Tour's event.

Yeah. And just golf and having fun in general. Those are the things the video promoted. PGA Tour said, nope. You idiots. This is what people don't like about golf. It was such a positive thing for everybody involved. It's crazy.

Yeah. And for them to be, for them to think that it's a good idea, to shoot down the one group of people who's like, we want to bring more young people to this group, to this area, to this sport, and them shooting us down is a shitty look. So that sucked. That was annoying that they made us take it down.

Bad boys at golf. We got to get a Harley now. Yeah. We're going to get a Harley golf cart if they make those. They're going to all black. Leather jackets. Hey, you know what I say? Maybe make your fucking security a little better, PJ Tour.

You guys security staked. We're helping you to show you the weak spots in your Security. Because anybody, literally anybody, could walk into a PJ tour event and just, like, hang out. Because that's what we did. We did. We flew into town, walked in as conspicuously as you can walk in. We had camera guys.

We had cameras falling off our fucking pockets. Yeah. And they just let us write in. Yeah. And nobody ever asked us a question. Once we're inside, maybe you think, all right, you get past the one line of security. But once you're in, they're going to be checking credentials. Nope.

Nobody. Check anything. Anyways. Chef's cut. Great effort. We had a good time. Our video already did a ton of impressions. Oh, yeah.

No, it didn't hurt us at all. It only hurts the PJ Tour. Our video was up. It got the impression. Chef's Cuts happy. We're all happy. It's the PJ Tour. That's just dumb.

So Zerat Classic. We're going to get into how it all shook down. But first, to kind of give us a little bridge way into how it was, how it went, what it was like to be playing in the first team of it in 36 years. We brought in our boy Willie Wilcox. First time we talked to him since probably our second or third episode. Yeah, I think that's right. Willie Wilcox had a really strong top 15 finish, played with Freddie Yacompson. Now we're joined by our boy Willie Wilcox, who just telling us a little bit about returning from New Orleans.

You're back in Alabama. Is that right? Yep, just got out of the five-hour car ride. Gotta love those. That's the PGA Tour Life, man. Yeah, yeah. I mean, normally it's very rare that I actually ride. anywhere, you know, maybe just like that tournament all year long.

Well, I guess Memphis you drive to, but mostly it's pretty long journeys. But since the girlfriend and a lot of folks were down, I had a ride back home. How are you filling that time, that five and a half hours? We listen to a podcast. Listen to that one. It's called S-Town. Oh, I've heard that's like the new cereal, right? Yeah, yeah, it was really good.

Okay. Also, people you can listen to Four. if you go subscribe download yeah yeah i get it i get enough golf uh yeah on the weekly week every day so i i don't i try not to listen to too much golf chat i always am stunned when like we talked to like uh smiley and he's like yeah me and my boys listen to it all the time of the way home i'm like i don't think you do like there's no way you get on that much golf yeah it's like i appreciate the gesture but you're lying right that's kind of how i feel but uh anyway so we had to bring you on uh real quick like i said

It's, we're coming off, Zyrk Classic. First team event on tour, 36 years. You had, you and Freddie had a nice T-14 finish. Pretty good week. What, I mean, what's kind of the approach going into a team event that, you know, you've really never played anything like it before? I mean, there wasn't really much of an approach. It was just like you pick who does the even holes, who does the odd holes on the alternate shot.

alternate shot was obviously much more difficult. And if you haven't played on like a Ryder Cup or something of that nature, then you didn't really know what to expect. But man, that alternate shot was really hard. It took a while to settle in on that first round because I just felt lucky to be in the field because I wasn't exempted into that tournament. I loved playing there. And then I shrewed him on the airplane where we had a couple beers from Puerto Rico.

So apparently he was quite impressed with my persistent. So he picked me. But yeah, I just, you know, I had a drive right on our third hole and almost put him in the woods. But he had this miraculous recovery shot. It was a super, super intense that first day for Ultimate. Yeah, what's the approach with golf ball? I feel like a lot of people overlook that when you're playing an alternate shot, you're kind of stuck with that ball, the whole hole. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, in the practice round, you hit a couple extra, like, you know, shot. into the wind, just to see how far they would go, and shots around the greens. I mean, the Strickson and the Calais ball were pretty similar. The Strickson just goes in the wind slightly better. But, I mean, if you teed off on your hole, then you just play their ball that hole. So you just went Trickson Calloway, Thurts on Calloway. So you guys went 71, 63, 73, 64. Obviously, those alternate shot rounds, like you said, are an absolute ground.

did it just feel great to get to those best ball rounds? Yeah, oh yeah, but I mean, you knew everybody was going pretty ape shit out there. I mean, everybody played so well. It was really windy. It was pretty tough conditions. The first round wasn't that difficult, but it was just, you know, it's still a pediatric tour competition, and I sure as heck don't want to let your guy down.

But I heard most teams had a no saying sorry policy. so you can't be a little, you know, sissy about it and hang your head and tell your guy how sorry you are because, you know, that's just something you can't do. But I just thought it was funny that everybody was like I heard one group. They were, it was 100 bucks.

Every time you said, sorry, 100 bucks. See, I always wonder about that because I feel the same way when I play with guys and they hit, you know, shitty shot. I'm so sorry, man. I'm like, dude, I hit shitty shots all the time. Yeah, exactly. I mean, that's what I tell amateurs.

I'm like, hey, do you have a regular job? They're like, yeah, and I'm like, shut up. Like, don't work enough about this. Like, it's not that big of a deal. Yeah, we're going to be fine. So there's a shit ton of rain delays. We ended up being a Monday finish because of the playoff and all that. How much do the, and it always feels like in New Orleans,

Zurich, it always gets rained out for certain portions. How much the rain delays mess with you guys? I don't see what I mean. You can go off to a post- hotel and hang out and, you know, maybe shower, get some room service. I mean, when I did, it was all that. It wasn't bad. I mean, you know, when they're delayed, I mean, when you get in that, they'll, like, delay

you 30-minute and 30-minute increments, so they don't let you go anywhere and you end up being stuck at the clubhouse for, like, four or five hours. I mean, that's not ideal. But this time, they said the earliest we're going to play is, like, 2 o'clock, and it was, like, you know, 11 a.m. So you're able to just get out of Dodge. and, you know, go relax. So it's not too bad.

I was just really glad to get it in when we finally went back out. Yeah. So obviously, you know, Zurich made a little bit of a bold move, doing the format swap to the team event. I feel like most of the feedback's been pretty positive. What was kind of the chatter in the locker room like? Oh, everybody had a blast. I mean, you know, it was a much bigger draw for the big,

getting the big players there. It was like six of the top ten or something crazy. You know, and to no one's surprise, you know, a team. I mean, I know Blix's won twice, but, you know, that playoff, it sure as heck wasn't Stinson Rose Fowler today. And everybody thought strongly that it wasn't going to be some big team that would win. So all of the missing cut was, that was bad, I'm sure, for the rating. but I mean it was still super sick.

Everybody had an awesome time. Yeah, we loved it because it was, like you said, almost always, especially this year, it feels like you get the big-ass names there at the end, take it down the tourneys. And this one, I mean, we got Cameron Smith, Jonas Blixed out there. Cameron Smith's in tears afterwards,

can't even answer questions. It was sweet to see those types of teams, you know, in the mix and getting into the playoff, I feel like. Oh, yeah, it was unreal. That kid's on a nice little run now. So young, I don't know, 22 or something, but it looks like he's 16. He does look like a young guy. Yeah, yeah, but man, what a great deal.

Yeah, it was super cool. And, I mean, getting all those big games to come out there, it's cool. And the fans loved it. And it took a lot of pressure off. Like the basketball day was like the easiest, you know, no, I call it freak out Friday, but there was no reason to freak out on Friday. this time. Yeah, it looked like everybody was just like having a fucking ball out there playing some golf.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, it was good stuff. A lot of fans came out on, you know, the weekend. And it was just nice to play on the weekend the first time in a while. I'm just so glad he picked me. Yeah, that's been like my favorite part of this whole thing. We talked to a couple groups. And the way, because you get to pick your own partner or people don't know,

and the stories that come out of it are pretty cool. I like yours the best, I think. Yeah, the airplane story. I got him a little liquored up. And I met his wife down there, and apparently he was quite impressed with, you know, the fact that I just wanted to play with one of the veterans. Yeah, I mean, you played well, too.

He had to be pretty jacked up. Oh, yeah, it couldn't work out any better. I mean, other than us maybe. I missed a shocking amount. of makeable putts on our back nine. So, I mean, I had a chance to be, to finish in the top five. We had an excellent chance, actually. I missed.

It was pitiful. But I still made a couple of birds. But, yeah, it was making as much money as we did, getting FedEx Cup points, a little closer to my goal, you know, peeping card, all that stuff. So it's just a beautiful thing. And it's a hell of a event. Like I said, everybody seems to be pretty pumped about it. So you and I were texting a little bit Saturday morning.

You played with Stricks and Jerry Kelly. How was that round out there with those guys on Saturday? It was cool. I mean, it's one of the biggest things that I get confidence from is playing with those guys. Played with Jerry Kelly a bunch. Never had the chance to play with Stricker. But, you know, when they're complimentary.

But also when they miss a lot of putts too, you see a guy like, stricker struggling on the greens i mean i wouldn't say he struggled that day but he sure as heck was really really frustrated um because he used to making everything um but he missed a ton of butts i mean it's guys in my position to see that they're also human is pretty great yeah i feel like that's very relatable that's why when guys like you fuck up on tv and guys like us are watching we're like oh they do it too yeah oh yeah it's definitely you know it makes the the mental part of it a lot easier to see some of the legends hit really bad shots. It's like the greatest feeling. It's the greatest feeling, he says. It is. It's nice to see you guys get the same feeling.

It's great. So, all right, Willie, when are we going to see you next? What can we expect from you? I've got a plane ticket to the Dominican for Wednesday. More than likely playing that. I'm like second or third alternate for the Wells Fargo. So that probably, they've already taken a ton of withdrawals. I doubt I'm going to get in Wells, but I'm not worried about it at all. I love playing the web. So, you know, got on the Punta Kana and played the web this week, I reckon. And then week off, and then the Byron Nelson and Dallas, which I've always hung around

in that tournament, that's pretty good. Yeah, I mean, I'm a pretty nice full schedule starting at the Byron. I mean, it's a good bit of an instant in the summer. Absolutely. All right, man. Well, hey, hell of a weekend. Congrats on the good play. thanks for chatting with us for a couple minutes.

Yeah, no, I always appreciate you guys having me on. Too bad I missed you guys when you were down in New Orleans. We just missed you about like an hour. Probably better for everybody that we didn't end up down in New Orleans drinking together. Yeah, no shit. Tuesday night can sometimes get a little out of hand. So I'm glad I was going up to be that nerd for the program thing. But anyways, next time.

We'll catch you next time. Keep it up, Willie. I appreciate it. See you, man. Thanks, Willie. All right, that little chat with our boy Willie Wilcox was brought to you by our friends at Wilson Golf.

We might not even be going to the U.S. Open. Yeah, I don't know. We had the U.S. Open trophy in here, though. We did have the U.S. Open trophy here. It was sick. And it's fucking sick. Once again, go to our Instagram. Check that out.

You got to wear white gloves. You do got to wear white gloves, which I thought made the pictures cooler and funnier. It's true. I don't disagree with that whatsoever. And I like it. It makes it feel like fancy and prestigious. Zurich Classic. We had Cameron Smith, Jonas Blix, in a playoff with Kevin Kisner, Scott Brown.

Awesome, awesome, awesome of that. Yeah. And Willie said it too. It seemed like the players liked it too. This was just an all-around good experience for the game of golf. This was Jonas Blix third technically, PGA Tour win. and I watched his post-victory interview, co-interview that they did today,

press conference against you called. And he said, quote, this was the most fun one. Really? I think that sums it up. I think so, too. Guys like team events. They can't fail.

They love the team event. It was crazy how much different the alternate shot is to the best ball. I mean, I get it. That alternate shots are way tougher. But it was wild. The score differences. I mean, Thursday and Saturday were just a grind.

Hang on. Don't give up too many shots. Yeah. And then Friday, Sunday, it's just Bertie Barrage. Yeah, it's crazy. I was looking at the scores. Let's see the winning. Oh, that thing just popped up on me.

It goes like 67, 62, 68, 64. That's the winners. The other days are Guy Willie Wilcox, 71, 63, 73, 73, 74. That's how big of a difference it is between those rounds. Yeah, Kevin Kisner is now 0 and 4 in PGA Tour playoffs, I saw. But you cannot take away. He had what might go down at the end of the year as the shot of the year. Unbelievable.

That's holed out, had to, holes out from, what was it, 50-something yards? Yeah. I think, no, I think I said, I'm sorry. I think it was like 94 feet. Okay. With a wedge. So the other guys, they're one stroke down going into the 70-second hole. The other guy is a Cameron Smith guy with his wedge hit like this crazy flop slash pitch thing out of the rough, out of a downhill line.

Lanz out of the front of green rolls all the way up to like two feet. So they're in for Bertie. Kisner. Brown, they have to make Eagle. Brown misses his third shot, misses his third attempt. Kisner hits this low, aggressive shot with a little bit of spin on it, but it's coming in hot. Flagstick, down. Drops.

Huge sally. It was awesome. This, and I said it last week, I don't know if it was one of our interviews, but when we were talking about the Zer Classic, the visuals of this tournament, I said we're going to, what's like going to carry this thing on, that visual right there, the chip in and him celebrating with his teammate, that is. so good for the tournament and so good for golf. That's why they need more events like this. And Faldo said it right away. He's like, that's what we were waiting for. Exactly.

Exactly. And he's right. I mean, that's... You don't get that anywhere else. Caddies, all their caddies are high-fiving each other. That whole crew, that force was all jacked up. And then the other guys, Cameron Smith had to make, you know, that two and a half foot or whatever it was.

Yep. Which, like, that's a little nervy after it's looking like he got the thing wrapped up. So it goes to a playoff this morning, Monday morning. Lame ass starts with a player. Yeah. That was tough. To go from the chippin and then. You got to wait, go Monday morning, and then you're like, ugh.

Really drained a lot of the energy, but, I mean, there's no other way to do it with all the rain delays and all that. This was some of the worst putting I've ever seen in my entire life. I don't know where that comes from because these guys, they're such good putters. They're touched, their feel, the amount that they practice on their strokes to make sure they're perfect, which almost all of them are. When we were at the Zurich, so we got there, it was Tuesday. And we watched these guys put for hours. I mean, they're so good on the greens. that these, you know, and the greens are so perfect.

And it was perfect this morning, Monday morning, the sun is there's no rain. Like, everything was perfect. Start out, the par 518th, very birdieable hole, incredibly burdiable hole. Like we said on Sunday night, there's a freaking eagle and a birdie from the same foursome. They go eight pars between the four of them running through it the first two times. And the putts that these guys had had that very makeable puts, good looks. They weren't even sniffing the hole. It was nuts.

Yeah, that's a shitty way to do a playoff, just a bunch of par. And pars and pars. So then they went to the ninth. The guys hit some good shots again. Nobody even sniffed the hole on the ninth hole after some very good T shots. Finally, fourth playoff hole. Again, our guy, this Cameron Smith guy, this Aussie dude, who's the man? I sent elk a DM.

Elk loves him. Elks like this kid's the shit. Okay, that's good. Elk seal of approval is big. He got the elk seal of approval indeed. But Smith again wedges it to about three feet. Finally, the birdie, the only birdie out of four holes between four guys. guys when these groups yesterday.

I mean, Sunday, they couldn't stop making birdies. I would be curious to ask them, like, how shitty it felt to have to go out, back out Monday morning as opposed to just staying out there and keeping the energy up. It has to be a pretty marketable difference. Yeah, I mean, it is definitely a difference, but at the same time, I mean, you're in a position where you don't have to worry about the rest of the field. Now, you wake up and you just got to go win one hole and you win a PGA tour of it. Yeah, you're right.

So, I mean, it's got to be a good feeling. You know, the weather's going to be good. It's kind of a crazy idea that you're going to, you know, you're going to, you're going to go out there, you're going to go through your whole warm-up routine and all that, potentially play one hole. That's true. So, I mean, it's definitely wild. It's different.

I was a fucking idiot, and I was like, on the first playoff hole, Blix was outside of Cameron Smith, who had a putt to win the tournament for Bernie. And I was like, he was like a foot outside of him, and Blix was putting for par. And I was like, why don't they just give him that putt? Yeah. Just have concede it so you don't see the line. Smith's not going to three putt. People are like, it's stroke-play, you fucking idiot.

Yeah. I was like, oh. Hey, man. Tushay. We're all learning here with these new events and their new formats. It didn't even cross my mind that it wasn't matchplay. I was like, what are you talking about? Yeah.

Somebody said that. I was like, I was crazy. Smith, Graham Smith's crying afterwards. That was, that was a cool moment. He's 23-year-old dude. He does live in Jacksonville and he just got into the players. He also got into the PGA. He's got a two-year exemption on Tory won over a million dollars.

So, I mean, these are big things, understandably speechless. huge brim you can see two blixed was like in tears for him yeah because he knew how much it meant to him yeah so it was really cool to see um that's yet another visual when they're doing the interview they go to smith and they ask him the question he literally cannot speak and his teammate is there with his arm around him and is like i'll answer this one these are these are great things that's another fall though this is what we were waiting for a moment what a move by the zirik to reformat i've written it a bunch of times and all my blogs this weekend but like you never see a tournament do If you're some fucking tournament, like that, like forgettable tournament on the schedule, I think you just got to go team format.

You have to. You got to do something. I mean, you can't just, you know, you don't want to just copy these guys, but. Well. But if you're kind of stuck in there, you know, this is a good way to do it. Kudos to them. What an awesome event. Pull one for this guy.

He showed a lot of balls. He had a lot of really good shots down the stretch. So it was good. It was fun to watch. Like Willie said, it was really cool, too, how it churned out teams that weren't like the big names. Yeah, I mean, Willie didn't say, but he was kind of saying it. Like, it was a good thing that the big names missed the cut. It's shitty that they're not there.

But then to have a finish like that, despite it being on Monday, it was very, very cool. Other storylines we had coming out of it. I wrote a bunch of down here. We had Brooks and Chase Kepka. Chase Kepka gets into the Wells Fargo this weekend after they shot a Sunday 62 and got inside the top five. Gigantic for him. He recently graduated from USF. Kind of trying to earn, you know, enough points to,

qualify for the web.com tour playoffs and all of that. He's actually USF's all-time wins leader. So gigantic for him getting his career kick started. Nice to kind of hitch his wagon to good old Brooks, brother Brooks there. We had our guy, one of our guys,

a four-play guy. A whole bunch of four-play guys on his Ryan Palmer, Jordan Spieth with a T-4, they were charging. Yeah, they were. On Sunday, we had Spieth had that wild toilet bowl put that lift out. Otherwise, they could have had a shot to maybe make an eagle on 18. and have, you know, have a chance to get into a playoff.

Wouldn't have mattered because the guys ended up getting 27 under, which was nuts at the end of it. But shout out to Ryan Palmer. We also had Wesley Brian, Ryan Blom, finished T-29. Notable miscuts, follower in day, Rosen Stenson. Yeah, Rose and Stenson, I believe, was your pick to win it? They were my pick to win it. It doesn't feel good.

Might have hurt Rose that he almost ran into us on the sidewalk. Probably. On Tuesday. We could have done whatever we wanted, no security. Yep. And then the other kind of drama we had this weekend was the LPGA tour. Wait, wait, wait, wait. We got to talk Poulter.

Okay. Yeah. You want to do that now? Yeah, let's do it. Okay. I don't know if you want to do that now or we wanted to wait. Whatever you want. I didn't want to run out of gas before we got to talk about our fucking dude Poulter.

So it comes out over the weekend on Saturday. Saturday, I was in Philly. I was darting at a brunch, having a good old time. And it comes across the Twitter that Ian Poulter does not, he is no longer losing his card. He's getting his card. for the rest of the season because of, what was it, inequalities or inaccuracies with the scoring. Kind of something like that.

What do you think about all this? I mean, look, I think Ian Bolter is a well-documented asshole that is tone-deaf can't relate to the normal person. Yeah. And has proven that via social media, yelling at cameraman, all these types of different incidents. Yeah. So I like to see him fail and to see his life be worse.

Mm-hmm. I do, however, think it's better for content when he's in the mix, when he's in tournaments. This makes him, this almost gives him like kind of a little villainous move that like he should have lost his card, but like somebody fucked with the numbers, cooked the numbers in the back to get him back in. It's drama. Drama's good for us, but I don't like polo. I don't feel that way about this at all. Okay. I feel that I would feel that way about if this happened to Bubba.

Because Bubba, to me, I do not like the things that he does, but I don't think he is a terrible person. like I think Poulter is. I really, really wanted Poulter to fall. I want him to lose everything. I want his Ferrari's to get repossessed. I want to lose his house. I want him to lose his kids. I want all of those things to happen to him.

Okay. So for this, I know what you're saying? In our business, it's good for us to have foils. I have a foil in Bubba Watson. I can talk shit about him. Ian Poulter can vanish off the face of the earth, and I wouldn't give a fuck. And now he's back in our lives because of some inequality,

inaccuracy. It honestly sounds like bullshit to me. Like they massages of the road. rules so they can have Poulter back on here. So they can piss off guys like me and we can keep talking about on this fucking podcast. I just think it was inevitable that he was going to get, you know, sponsors exemptions and this and that, that he was going to churn back up anyways. So it doesn't really bother me that much.

And we already had our awesome celebratory weekend where he missed the cut and we thought his life was ruined. That doesn't feel empty to you? No. That feels so empty to me. Because like, I mean, I get the argument that it was a little empty, but like I already had it. It's like when our good old boss Dave

I was just going to say this. Like fucked up his celebration on gambling the other day and thought that he won a ton of money on the Cardinals Walk Off Grandsland but he actually had the other way. It's like he already had the enjoyment of it. But he feels the same way I do. I ask him like, is it, you got that moment so he's like, it doesn't matter.

It wasn't real. It wasn't real. I lost my money, yeah. Yeah. No, I mean, I'm not happy about it, but it doesn't bother me that much. But and you're right. He was, Pulitzer was going to play anyway, probably with sponsor exemptions and all that shit. But we were able to one at one point say, remember that time you lost your tour,

card, that's gone. I just, I think it emphasizes, like, it adds another layer to how much and why to hate. I certainly hate him more now, which he doesn't deserve to be here. Right. It's great. I certainly hate him more now. I didn't think I could even hate him more than I did before. But for him to now come back and he's like, oh, by the way, I still have my card when you

guys thought I didn't. Like, I think it'll be really fun to do all kinds of jokes. Like, if Polter finishes eighth or something, we'll talk about the people that finish ninth. They'll be like, oh, no, they actually finished eighth because Polter's like, he's not actually here. All right, I don't hate that. So, like, that type of stuff, I think it would be really fun.

It did fuck up my Saturday, though. I was out and about, and I thought it was going to be the best day ever. And here comes Poulter, you know, swinging his dick around. He's posting on Instagram. He's posting, hey, by the way, I still have my tour card. That stuff pisses me off. See, I kind of responded, like, kind of like the protagonist does when, like, the antagonist does something in a movie where I looked at it. And I was like, ha, all right, Poulter.

Tush, buddy. No. We'll go. We'll see you again, pal. You know what I mean? do understand that, but you're living it like it's a movie or a play. This feels too real to me where I just want him like

dead. All right, so Polter's back. He's back on the scene. He's going to be around. We'll be allowing more Polter talk. We've got we had some unprecedented, very rare, very unique LPGA tour drama yesterday. Sure did.

Now, I tweet about all kinds of random shit. I get tangled up in different sports. I started tweeting about Tottenham yesterday. At one point, I fired off a tweet about polo. This is what happens when men's golf gets delayed. Riggs'y just kind of goes down whatever tickles this fancy. I'm just looking for

something. I need something to buy into, and yesterday it was Lady Golf. Somebody sends me this tweet. They're like, Riggs, you've got to tune in to the LPGA. It's chaos. I was like, all right, what? This is even pre-playoff. This girl, Numerah, I look, she's got like a billion shot lead heading to the back nine. She was

six over. through the first eight holes on the back nine, including a double bogey on 17, and needed birdie on 18 just to get into a playoff after she had like a five or six shot lead. It was crazy. They were like 45 mile an hour wins. It was awesome.

So I tune in and I'm like, oh, this is great. The 18th hole is this crazy as part five that like there's water, there's trees, the whole fairway slopes heavily left to right. So these chicks, they're hitting great T shots that are just ending up in the right rough behind trees. one of the worst most poorly designed golf holes I've ever seen This Nomura chick after bogey double bogeys left and right She's collapsing

She hits it pin high left Chips it like I don't know Eight or so feet by has to make an eight footer And 45 mile hour wins a little slider Drills it in the heart They go to a playoff It's her and this Christy Kerr I was spelling it by the way I got a text for one of my golf channel people

I was spelling Christy Kerr wrong Yeah It's like who gives a fuck It's Christy Kerr Whatever. So anyways, it's Christy without an H, everyone. So get it right. These chicks, same thing as the other playoff.

Some of the worst putting I've ever seen. They're hitting. Just Christy Kerr's taking 95 minutes in between shots. Everyone's trying to fall asleep. Then the fucking PGA tour comes back. So you've got like Spieth and these people in the mix in the first team of it in 36 years. And they have to leave, I think it was the CBS coverage. Yeah.

So they're like double box NFL red zoning. the LPGA PG it was crazy They might have stumbled on to something there though Do you feel that way? Yeah but it was like It was great because I saw like smiley Like freaking out being like Why the fuck are we watching the lady golf

But then there was people like that were on my train That were like well I get the argument But like I'm so invested in the lady golf now That I don't want to miss the playoff It was wild It was such a wild night I loved it I was so juiced up off of this fucking tournament

And I got so I wanted Christy occur to lose so badly when she had one time where she went for the green of two hit it way over the green not way over I'm sorry hit like the grandstands so it stopped like maybe 10 feet off the green but she had a bunch of fringe to put through so she gets to take a drop off from the grandstand

she must have took 15 minutes to hit a put and then hit it like 50 feet short of the fuck I will say so I don't watch you're living and dying with this I didn't watch any of this I feel shitty but I did see the main takeaway was like these ladies are taken forever to do anything

It was nuts. So then Christy Kerr, I saw a couple tweets that she put out. I think today she said, we both played our hearts out. Hope people can understand why there was slow play. Hashtag 45 miles per hour. Another tweet. Sorry everyone for the slow play yesterday. The conditions were incredibly tough.

That 18th hole is very difficult, very tricky if 40 mile power wins. Third tweet, both players took a lot of time, by the way. And that's all I'm going to say about that. Hope everybody remains a fan of the LPGA. Look, I'm still a huge LPGA fan. Maybe bigger. Just play fast. Yeah.

It was crazy. You know what might have helped them play faster? If they could have seen the holes better. And let me tell you this. Let me tell you about our friends at Warby Parker can help you out with that. Please do, Trent. Warby Parker was founded with a rebellious spirit and lofty goal to create booty quality eyewear at a revolutionary price point. A collaboration between four close friends, Warby Parker was conceived as an alternative to the overpriced and bland eyewear available today.

Prescription eyewear shouldn't cost you more than a plane ticket or a new iPhone. By circumventing traditional channels and engaging with customers directly, through their website and retail stores, Warby Parker is able to provide high-quality, good-looking prescription eyewear at a fraction of the price. The Warby Parker aesthetic is vintage-inspired with a contemporary twist. Every pair is custom fit with an anti-reflective polycarbonate prescription lenses. Available exclusively through Warby Parker's website and retail stores,

Glasses start at $95, including prescription bonuses. They're also an eyewear with a purpose. almost one billion people provide or people worldwide lack access to glasses. This means that 15% of the global population cannot effectively learn or work, which is crazy, because glasses were invented 700 years ago. That's nuts. That is nuts. We should be on top of this, Warby Parker partners with nonprofits like Vision Spring to ensure for every pair of glasses sold.

A pair is distributed to someone in need. We believe that everyone has the right to see. That's true. That is true. Let me tell you this. This is what they do, and this is what they did for me. This is my personal experience. It's a free home try-on program.

You order five glasses. You go on their website. They're very trendy. Rob and I wear glasses. Yeah, I wear glasses. Yeah, we're not exactly the trendiest guys. We probably need help in this area. Yeah, we've got to step it up.

Got to step it up. So Warby Parker is going to help us with that. You order five pairs. It ships free and includes a prepaid return shipping label. So you pick the one you like. You send the others back. The way to do this, you go to Warbyparker. That's F-O-R-E to order your home-free try-on today.

The glasses start at $95. dollars, like I said, including prescription lenses. Lenses include an anti-glare and anti-scratch coatings. That's always nice because I drop my glasses all over the place. For every pair you buy, a pair is distributed to someone in need. Yeah, so go get your Warby Parker glasses, the free try-on program. Five pairs, you pick one, send the others back, and you're going to be looking hot as shit for the summer. I'll be honest.

If you're a glasses guy, you need to take your glasses seriously. Oh, you do. Yeah. You know, like, you need to have a look because that's like, that's like defines your face. Yeah. You got to wear them 24-7. And I got to tell you, I don't feel like I've taken my glasses that seriously since I've had them. I've had them for a while.

But Warby Parker is, you know, kicking my ass into shape with that. That's huge. That's huge of your glass. I might become a glass-less guy so I can get Warby Parker. I believe our guy and John Fidelberg did that. That's literally what John Fidelberg did it. That's appropriation. That is.

Oh, that's good. You should have brought that up when he did it. Yeah, you probably should have brought that up. It's not cool, man. Okay. So moving on, we've got, we got to do a quick, quick greenskeeping. I want to just shout out We are giving away a driver

We got a bazillion more submissions than we expected And to uphold the integrity of a driver giveaway We don't want to just read five of them Pick a Funny one and give it away Yeah We're going through all of them Every single one of them I think we literally got like 750

Yeah We're going to put out a video this week That's going to declare the winner of the Cobra King F7 driver That's coming Also we conducted producer intern slash producers slash intern but mostly a producer interviews. When you said, yeah, yeah. On Friday.

We sure did. We found our guy. Quite a process. We had a bunch of interviews. We had along the same numbers as the driver giveaway submissions, we had like 700 emails that we got. We narrowed it down to about seven people. The people that came in were awesome. They were.

We got our guy. He's starting in a couple weeks. So those that are continuously sending us submissions. We really appreciate it. For now, our roster is full. We never know we're going to need more help. We're growing fast, which is good. When you grow, you need more help.

We're creating jobs. We're good for the economy, capitalism, all that stuff. Yeah. But we got our guy. We put out, we're giving out his name, or are we just going to wait to unveil that? I don't like to count my chickens before the hatch. Okay. So if he, you know, it's still two weeks.

He could bail on us. Anything could happen in two weeks. You never know. But I think we got our guy. He's an absolute all-star. He's the man. Yeah. He's got a great nickname to.

do we believe. So he gets the Robbie seal of approval, I would think. He's taking the place. Rob my pick, yeah. Okay. He was Rob's pick. He was pretty much Rob's unanimous pick.

Yeah. I was pretty passionate about this guy. You were very passionate. He's the man. So we're excited about that. There'll be a big reveal coming both on the new producer and the driver giveaway. Driver giveaway this week,

new producer probably in a couple weeks when I'm officially convinced that he's going to come on board. Next up, we got a wildly unique opportunity to check. with an MLB Hall of Famer. George Brett. George Brett was in the office. He is maybe the most interesting down-to-earth guy. Yes.

He's such a big name. He's huge. That's what I was going to say. So you guys have been here. You were here a few months before I was. George Brett coming in here, that's the biggest name that I think I've seen in here. And it was the most fun because they made barbecue for us.

But everybody in this office, not only is he big deal to us, because you know the name, but people were telling, like, their dads that George Brett was in the office, and people were shit in their opinion. He's office manager Brett is literally named after George Brett, and George Brett called office manager Brett's father. That's really, best case scenario for, like, when Brett's dad has a son and names him after George Brett, you're hoping somewhere along the line that he's going to get you to meet George Brett, and that's what happened. That had to be, that's just an awesome moment. Yeah. The guy's the man.

I almost cried. Me too. I mean, I was like in tears with this dude, and then we got him. Unbelievable. We got him on four play for a good 20 minutes. Gigantic golfer. Like I said, he's won the Pebble Beach Pro Am before, played with good old Freddie couples, Freddy Boom Boom. Yep.

As big of a name as he is, he's a very normal guy. Yeah. You know what's perfect for the normal guys? The normal brand. Normal brand makes absolutely phenomenal stuff. Guys, you ever walk into a store think who are these clothes made for? I don't know anything about it. I don't know how to shop.

Sometimes you're looking at preppy pink polos, ultra-tend trendy shirts with disco patterns, all kinds of weird shits, jackets made for, I don't know, climbing Mount Everest. I just want a normal shirt, something that's not super preppy, something that's not ultra-trendy, insanely comfortable fabrics, great colors, subtle, but, I don't know, significant details would be nice. It's great, is super comfortable, clothes that I actually want to wear, that type of thing. The normal brand is just for you. You look normal, but they're great shirts. They're great clothes all around.

They're comfortable. You wear them every day. It's a better, better normal shirt. Pretty much all their stuff is kind of my new favorite stuff. Yeah, I don't want to jump in on your thing here, but they sent us a bunch of stuff, and I wore a bunch of it over the weekend in Philly. It's really unbelievable. I wear the normal gram, like I said, because I'm dumb.

I don't know how to shop, but I really do like to wear nice stuff, but I'm a normal dude, so I can't wear like crazy stuff.

Now this is us with George Brett. We are now joined by a man who really needs no introduction, but I'm going to do it anyway. He's a 13-time All-Star. He's got over 3,100 hits, won the 1985 World Series with the Royals. The list of accolades go on and on. We are now joined by Hall of Fame, Third Baseman. George, how we doing? I'm doing great.

Thoughts on the office so far? I love it. Yeah? I love it. You guys don't have enough fun here. Yeah, we get that all the time. I'll wait until you try the ribs today. Oh, so we see them setting up shop out there, and I haven't had lunch yet, so I'm getting excited.

Either of I. I haven't had breakfast or lunch. You saving up for the big meal? Yeah. That's exciting. Yeah, so we're wearing the shirts right now. We could do a little plug right now. Right. Meet Mitch.

Meet Mitch. Tell us a little bit about Meet Mitch. Meet Mitch is just a good buddy of mine. I've known them for years in Kansas City, and he lives about two and a half blocks from me. Used to be a tailor-made rep. Okay. I loved him when he was a tailor-made rep because I got all my clubs for free, all my balls for free, all my gloves for free. It's perfect.

All my gloves for free. Anytime they came out with a new product, I had one. And he no longer works for tailor-made. Okay. But I think he still has some pull. Still some connections there. Still some pull. But he's always been a weekend warrior barbecuer, smoking ribs, smoking brisket, smoking pulled pork, all that stuff.

And he's gotten me to kind of be on his team. He has a big team in Kansas City. They have in Kansas City the biggest barbecue competition in the world. And it's called the American Royal Barbecue. And Mitch has a team. I'm kind of on his team. And I have a smoker in my backyard now. I've seen him smoke enough where I like to.

smoke ribs and stuff in my backyard. So somehow we got here, and I'm here in New York with them, and we're feeding you guys today, and you guys get to try the product. We're excited, so I'm a St. Louis guy. Well, you have good barbecue there. We do. Do they have good barbecue in New York? No.

I haven't even tried. So we've only been here for a few months, but I feel like you avoid the barbecue in New York. So I'm from Iowa. They probably have decent barbecue there. We've got great meats out there, but I'm afraid to try the barbecue in New York. Because that's not really known for it. Well, it's very time-consuming. You know, by the time you get at room temperature and you put the rub on, you know, that's an hour, hour and a half.

Then you have three hours to cook, and then you take them out, you smother them with sauce, wrap him in tinfoil, cook him another hour. You know, so it's a six-seven hour day. So my brother's got the discipline. I don't. He gets up early, prepares everything, even stops by on his lunch break while he's working, does whatever he needs to do, and then comes home and they're ready for dinner. I don't have that kind of discipline. I'm not even close. But anyways, you're a big golfer.

Yeah. I love golf. We got to talk about, let's start, 1987. Right. Pebble Beach Pro Am. Sure. You won it with good old Freddie couples. Right.

Talk about that a little bit. Well, Fred was a neighbor. I had a place in Palm Springs, and I'd winter there after the season. I'd usually go out there in November, November 1st, because they receded all the golf courses. They put the winter eye on or they put the grass in for the, to get it through the winter. And I ended up meeting Fred's wife, Desmond. first. I met her at the tennis shop. Okay. And a good friend of mine was the tennis pro at Mission Hills Country Club.

And so she says, yeah, my husband's a golf pro. And so I said, oh, what clubs he work at? No, he plays on tour. And he's not really an outgoing guy. So, you know, why don't you give him a call and play some golf with him? I called him up. And a friendship started that day, and we played a lot of golf together. And sure enough, he said, you should come up and play with me at the Pebble Beach. So I said, okay, fine. I'd play with him and John Cook an awful lot. That was our kind of our Johnny Bench lived right down the street too. So we were all playing to golf a lot together. And so I said, well, what's my handicap? And so Freddie says, well, God, I think you'd be about a 17 or 18. Yeah, because how into golf were you in the time?

Well, I would only play in the wintertime. And I never had a lesson. Right. You know, I had crappy clubs. And so all of a sudden, you know, we submit my handicap as a 17. And John Cook thought, yeah, you're a 17 and Johnny Ben said yeah you're a 17 they played quite a bit with yeah we played a lot I mean if I hit a ball out of bounds I just you know go up there and drop it where it went out yeah we know that I didn't retie it I'm hitting three guys you know our listeners are very familiar with that everybody home's like oh yeah we know the first day the first day we played spy glass I had one par okay and and and I remember we teed off on 10 and frede made about a 20 footer on 10 for birdie and I said god Fred that's the longest

put I've ever seen you make and I bet we played 150 50 rounds together. Yeah. And we got a good laugh out of it. And the next day I did a little bit better, you know, maybe had three pars. And on Saturday, and, you know, I don't like to play in front of thousands and thousands of people. And obviously, that's what Pebble Beach is.

Right. On Saturday, I had nine pars in a birdie. I didn't finish the other holes. And then on Sunday, I'm playing in the third of the last group with Johnny Miller and Fred couples. Telly Savalas was supposed to play with us, but he didn't play. he said he hurt his foot or something. So it went a pre-sum, and Johnny Miller ended up winning that tournament,

and Fred just said, George, look, we can't, I don't want you, just walk with me down the fairway. Don't say a word to Johnny unless he speaks to you, you know, be, and when we get to the green, you watch me, I don't want you walking through his line or anything, so just keep an eye on me. And I had been out every night when I was there in Carmel with Gary McCord. Okay. And we're out till, you know, 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock in the morning, having some beers, having some beers. And so Gary's, he's all over me on the broadcast, you know. Look at this swing, 17 handicapped my ass.

Watch this. I bet he hits it right down the middle. Sure enough. Just killing you. Right down the middle. Then all of a sudden I hit a, on 16, I hit a good second shot. And I was like a foot from the green. And he said, now, and I've seen the broadcast that Gary says, now if he can get this close, this is the big.

biggest sandbagger in the history of golf. I tried to chip it. I chipped it about two inches. And the next chip I sculled over the green. He says, well, maybe he is a 17-handed. He saved yourself a little bit. But we ended up in a tie with Wayne Levy and somebody else. And first time they'd ever had a tie, they sent us back out to play. And so now the tournament's over and everybody's walking out and all of a sudden we're teeing off. Now everybody that wants to watch more golf, they start watching us. Yeah.

I three putted one for a boge for a par. Fred already had a par. I didn't even finish number two. Pin high in two and I sculled it over the bunker across the street into a tree. I just picked up. Fred won that whole force. But I did par number three for the win. And that was huge.

I had a 12-inch putt for par. And I swear to God, I thought I was going to miss it. I had no idea. I've never been so nervous. So, yeah, I got to ask you because obviously one of the, you know, one of the greatest third basement of all time, you're a World Series champ. But playing golf, you know, in front of that many people,

how different is that? Well, they just expect you to be good. Right. Because you're a good hitter. It would be different if I was a bad hitter, you know, if I was a 220 hitter. And I was playing, they said, well, he couldn't. What makes me think he could hit a golf ball if he can't hit a baseball, you know?

Right. But if you can hit a baseball, you're successful at it coming at you 95, 100 miles an hour, sure as hell you can hit that little ball sitting on a tape. See it. Yeah. They teed it up for you, George. Right, I know it. I tell myself that every time.

Like, it's just fucking sitting there. Just hit the ball. Right, exactly. So, yeah. So those nerves, I mean, those nerves are a lot different. It's funny. We talk all the time. I mean, if I'm playing in front of my buddies, no problem,

but one group pulls up behind you on the tee. I mean, I can't even swing the club. Right. So how's the golf game nowadays? It's actually pretty good. I got my handicap down to as low as it's ever been a three. Okay. I had a wonderful weekend.

Last weekend. I was invited to go down to Augusta National. We were just there. And I got a chance to play that for, I think, the fourth or fifth time. And it is just a magical, magical place, isn't it? Yeah, it was our first time there. We were there all mass. Were you amazed by how hilly it was?

That's the thing. That's what everybody says. And then you're still not ready for it. You get there because it doesn't translate on TV. And you get there, and it's even hillyer than the people who told you was going to be hilly. Well, I played Peach Tree the day before in Atlanta. And Peach Tree is, of course, very, very similar. They call it the Augusta of Atlanta.

Okay. And I played with a good friend of mine who's the head pro there, Don Perno. And so we played with him and then went up to Augusta and played and then what flew home. But it was, I mean, a great two days of golf. I mean, I'm very jealous. We said the same thing that I couldn't believe how many just mounds they were that made it look almost like it was European in the fairways. You'd never have a flat lie and all that. So do you guys get into some kind of match out there at Augustus, so those back nine's worth it?

We had a match, but no one ever knew what we were playing for, and no one ever paid off. So it was a good match, though. Probably better that way. You just enjoy the whole round and all that. So last year, I believe it was last year, you had the round of your life. Yeah. Which was a 68. You know, we're professionals.

We do research. Which I believe was a 68. Right. And there's a great voicemail that you left. 68 at Mission Hills in the voicemail. C-Bess, George Cullen. Your boy, Tyler Saul, created a monster. Played today, walked 18 holes at Mission, 68.

Knocked down shots everywhere. Should have had, I swear to God, on the stack of Bibles, I could have shot 64. Missed a short putt for Bertie on two. Eight footer on three for Bertie. F*** up, four. Six made birdie. seven had about a 15 footer for birdie, eight, about a 10 footer for birdie.

Of course, I missed it. Bogied nine, birdied 10. On 11 had about a four footer for birdie. The next toll, 12 had about a six footer for birdie. I missed. The next toll had about a 10 footer for birdie, missed it. The next toll birdied. drove it in the bunker and knocked it a foot away.

The next hole par, par 16, par 17, par 17, and par at 18 for a nice little 68. But should have had, I should have had, I swear to God, I should have shot 65. And all I'm doing is taking one more club, standing a little closer, got my weight on the arches of my feet, not my toes, and hitting lasers right at the flag all fucking day long. and golf is actually a lot of fun. Anyways, I was just calling to check in. Give me Tattersall if you can. I don't have his number or his email address.

I'd love to give him a progress report. And Jigger hates me because I got him today big time. And I got Matt Goggle and I got Brian Norton too. See you. Everybody's been there where for whatever reason you're having the round of your life. What was clicking that day? You got to talk about that route. Well, I had met a guy through some mutual friends, a teacher, top 100 teacher,

John Tattersall. He's out of Atlanta. Okay. And we hit some balls, played a little golf for two or three days. And he just kind of helped me with some basic things, you know? And all of a sudden, he taught me how to hit this knockdown shot. And so I'm saying, I'm going to work on my knockdown shot today. I had a bunch of them.

man, I was hitting these things, 200 yards, taking one more club. Normally I hit a five iron. I was taking a four iron, putting my weight on the front, standing a little closer to the ball, choking up a little bit, kind of trapping it,

five feet from the hole. I'm going, you've got to be kidding me. And I'm going, this is unbelievable. If I would have putt that day, it's a par 70 course where I play in Kansas City. If I would have putt it, I could have shot 65. I missed probably, I made some birdie putt some long ones,

but I missed probably two or three, 10 footer and less for birdie. But it was just, I was down the middle of the fairway all day long, and I was hitting greens, and if I didn't hit a green, I didn't shortside myself where I had some green to work with. And that's where I usually get in trouble. If I shortside myself, you know, I've really worked on my short game this spring training down in surprise.

But my short game is the thing that usually suffers. And distance is no problem. Right. But the accuracy, you know. deacracy. I hit in the rough a lot. But that day I was sitting everything in the fairway. And we all know, you guys. What's your handicap? About 20.

And you're... I'm a four. Four? But, you know, it's easier to play off the short grass than the long grass. Oh, yeah. It's way easier. And there's just some of those days where you're not thinking about anything, you're just swinging. And you know what it was, too? Sometimes you get up there and you're trying to line up and you're going, God, I feel like I'm lined up over there.

And you're always fidgeting? That day, I just stood up the ball and going, shit. I'm locked in. Especially in the zone. She's play a Donald Ross course. He's got you lined up all over the first place. Just swing. You know, I didn't have to, I had no swing thoughts that day. And those are the best.

That's when, I mean, it's so frustrating because you wish you could just bottle that up. Right. And then you go to the range the next time and you're all over the map. I shot, you know, and the pros do it all the time. I think I shot 68 that day. Went out two days later and shot 81. And you felt like you're doing the same. I didn't even want to play the next day because I wanted the rebel.

Yeah. I'm not going to play for a while. So when you shoot that 68, you must have shit kicked the guy. as you're playing against. Yeah. Just took them. Took them for everything they got. My favorite part of that email, there's a lot of quotes in it, but one of them was

you're just like, golf is fun. It's actually a fun game. It was really fun. It's actually enjoyable. Yeah. I left that message to Jason Seaman, who's the head of Bushnell Golf in Kansas City, and I think the country. But I left it on his voicemail because he's the one that got me hooked up with

Tattersall. Gotcha. And then he sent it to Tattersall. That's very, that's very, very relatable because I've had my brother and I, you know, We're very close, and we grew up beginning to love golf together. So anytime I have a round, anywhere, like a nice club, or if I have a good round, I call immediately and just tell them about every fucking shot. Right, yeah.

Oh, I remember going home and telling my wife shots, you know, she said, how'd you doing the course today? Well, on the first hole, I hit a great drive right down the middle. And she's going, oh, my God, why don't know I even ask? She doesn't even ask anymore. Just a token question that you go on all day. Let me tell you about every shot, honey. I remember when I got married and we had kids and I'd go play golf,

and she'd go, you're going to go play golf again today. I'd come home, I might win 30 or 40 bucks. I'd give it to her. All of a sudden, she didn't mind if I wouldn't play golf. And all of a sudden, I started losing a lot of money. And she said, what are you going back for? I said the guys call me every day. They want to play.

That's why. So you said before that you don't necessarily love, I guess, playing competitive golf. But I feel like there's a difference between, like, playing competitive golf and competing against, like, your boys out of course. My boys. I like playing against. against the guys I know. I don't want to go out and compete against strangers.

I did that my whole life as a baseball player. It's just a guy. I didn't know guys on the other team that well. I knew the players, but I didn't know the pitchers. And I'm just tired of the grind. You know, I'll grind with my friends.

Right. Because, you know, you always got a partner. Yeah. And if you lose, your partner loses, and I don't want to lose money and I don't want him to lose any money. You know, I want to win money. Absolutely. And so I'll grind that way.

But as far as going out there and playing a two or three-day tournament or something like that that's not my that's not my game yeah i couldn't agree and i only get so many road trips with the guys you know right and if you go play in a golf tournament somewhere you're not with your guys you're with different guys every day yeah and um so like if i'm going to go on a trip i want to go with my friends and i want to play golf against my friends yeah you know i've said many times where people always ask you know what's your if you had one more round to play in your life you know who would be your dream for some and i always say like like like my brother and my two best buddies because that's who I have the most fun golfing with all the time.

So I think it's very relatable. Trent, you got anything else? I don't think so. I just, I love, the voicemail is my favorite thing. I listened to it again right before he came on here.

Fucking lasers all over the place. How did you find that? It is, it's on the internet. It's on the internet. You're surprised. One of the top things that shows up when you look at when you search. George Brett golf and it's listen to this.

No way. And it's a great voice mail. It's on like golf. Jason, you wouldn't believe this thing. It was unbelievable today. It was incredible. And that's the best

Like Trent said the best part You were like lasers right at the fucking flag all the day This is great It's perfect All right George man We're big fans We really appreciate you coming in sitting down with us

I think Greg's just saying, like, they'd like to talk to people that we have the opportunity to talk to, and you're like, they're like, they come to a job. Motherfuckers got Trent's life all twisted.

He fucks me up. Every time I think about it, I mean, I can't sleep at night. It's the worst. So now that I know he's getting his card back and drive. We can't even ask the listeners to send us emails without trying to be friendly to the listeners. He thinks they're coming for our jobs. So we got a couple from the galleries this week. Then we're going to jump right into Wells Fargo Talk.

And then this podcast is over. A couple. One thing that – it's a story. I'm just going to say it's a story about a guy who I don't like, who has me blocked on Twitter. Now it's Billy Horshaw. And essentially, I've come. kind of always wondered if my hate or dislike, it's not hate, it's dislike. For Billy Horschel is fully justified just because he acted like a baby one time at Chambers Bay.

But I get these little stories from people all the time that confirm that he's kind of a dickhead. He's kind of an asshole. So this guy sends me this story. It's a great story. It's a really good story. From 2013 at Bay Hill. The gist is this guy goes in early in the day, so it's about a bunch of guys that are not in contention. Yep.

So they're hanging out. There's not a big crowd yet. The sixth hole, which, if you recall, is the one where John Daly made like a 15 one year trying to just drive the green. It looks like a gigantic half moon with water at Bay Hill. And so he said, Billy Horsal's walking up to the tea, said, mind you, there's maybe eight to ten people standing around the tea. That's it because it's early. There's not that many people there. He says, including me and my buddies, one dude who was just there with his wife and kids jokingly says to Billy Horshaw,

don't even try to cut off too much of the water today, guys, it's really windy. Guy goes on to say, dude was just kidding around, trying to be friendly with the tour guys, since there's not that many people around. Nothing mean at all. Billy turns to the guy and says, hey, listen, I don't come to your office and tell you how to do your job, so don't tell me how to do mine. This guy goes on to say, one of the biggest dick headlines I've ever heard in my life, the dude just looked crushed.

He was there with his wife, having a good time. There was absolutely no reason for it whatsoever. The guy was just choking around. Billy decided to be a macho, arrogant prick to him. Wait, it gets better. Billy goes up to hit first swing, tries to take too much off the lake, boom, in the water. Yes. He goes on.

He says he then re-tease his driver, second swing, snap hooks into the water. At this point, me and my buddies are dying laughing, trying so hard not to laugh out loud because fuck Billy Horshaw, not because a tour player messed up, because a tour player who went out of his way to be an ass hat is doing exactly what the guy told him not to do. re-tease again, third ball in the water, losing our mind. Finally, with his fourth shot, hits it way out to the right, bales out, puts his head down, starts walking away. I'm dying, pretty sure I actually laughed out loud in his face. I look over to the other guy, the original guy that said it,

hoping and praying, he'd say something. The dude just stares Billy Horshiel down as he walks off the tee, head down, staring at his feet. Beautiful. How much do you love that story? See, I just, I really like to know that it wasn't an overreaction of my part. Billy Horsal's just an asshole. Yeah.

I mean, that's what it sounds like. Stop being an asshole to people. Yeah, I mean, that's really the takeaway from this podcast for all these golfers that we don't like. If you're just nice to people, we're nice to you. And it's, I can't expect. I've seen 10 or 15 of these stories from people. Yeah, about like, oh, Billy Horsuchel, I saw him at this tournament. He used to be a really nice guy when he was young.

And then when he became big, he's an asshole to people. Yeah. I don't like that. The sneaky best part of that story is how after Billy Horshaw yelled at the guy, the guy looked like his day was over and he did in front of his wife so he feels like shit. Yeah. And then for him to have redemption on the other. side of it and like, fuck you, Billy Horschel. I told you not to do that.

Had to feel good. I told you not to hit in the water of Billy Horses. Yeah, oh, he should have, he should have done something, although I think Billy Horshaw would have killed him. We got another one. Oh, and by the way, you talked about how Billy Horshaw has you blocked on Twitter. Someone who has me blocked on Twitter, Doddy Pepper. Oh. She, well, she got fired from ESPN.

I'm not basking in that glory. I'm just saying, I'm updating the Doddy Pepper news. But she also deleted her Twitter, so I fucking win that round. Wow. She deleted her Twitter. I don't know why. That's a huge internet win. That's huge for me.

I have nothing against Adi Pepper. Well, not really. But I tweeted like an innocent joke at her like a year and a half ago, not adding her nothing, and she must have searched her name and blocked me. So I wish all social media ill will on her, and she deleted her Twitter. Wow.

I didn't do anything about it. I didn't pull any strings. I just know that I still have a Twitter page and she doesn't, so I win. Interesting. That's a huge win. Yeah, anybody that has you blocked by her now. You're not blocked by her.

You are? Technically. No, no, you're not blocked. Technically. Yeah, I mean, anytime somebody has you blocked on Twitter. And then they like delete and disappear. Yeah. And I didn't do anything.

I didn't do anything. She just deleted it because I don't know why, but I win. That's nice. That's a feel good story. Thank you for updating us on Dottie Pepper, too. You're welcome. I like that. You're welcome.

So the only other two I have from the galleries this week that I found are mostly just comments on from the gallery submissions. Okay. One guy, this guy, Cody, and his Rider Cup crew, I was going to tell the story or talk about it a little bit. But all I'm going to comment on is the name. The guy's, the name of their Rider Cup is called the Caucasian Classic. Are we allowed to say I love that? He goes out of his way and he says, it's not racist. It's just the Western Pennsylvania demographic.

Again, he's right, I guess. Okay. How do you feel about it? I don't know. You look very torn. When I first read it, I was like, I don't think he can call your tournament the Caucasian Classic. It's feel like if you make like a black. Brett that's going to like that you invite him to the tournament.

It feels a little KKK-esque. I will say that. And I don't think that the guy's racist. It's just why would you name your thing the Caucasian Classic? Just a lot of white dudes. Can you go around like all weekend when you guys are at whatever destination being like, oh yeah, I mean all my buddy here for the Caucasian classic? No, you cannot do that because people will be freaked out by it.

So that seemed really weird to me. They should do the Caucasian Classic Cup. just called the CCC. Come on. That's not a bad idea. Cody, call it the CCC. You're welcome from the for play guys. Rob's losing his mind.

The other one I want to comment on is this guy sends me the most bizarre story I've ever heard. Story about this guy whose brother had to take a shit in the woods, which has happened on the golf course to many people. Rob's still, Rob's red laughing. Sorry, the CCC. Go ahead. So he said his brother then wipes his ass with a golf towel, then leaves it in a creek. Okay.

So he tells me this whole story, and I read it, I'm like, all right, it's a weird fucking story. The guy sends a follow-up email that just says, can you please not put this on the show? Thank you. Oh. Why the fuck would you send it to me? Sorry, pal. It was the same day, too. It wasn't like he talked it over with his brother, and a week later was like, I don't want

you to put that in the show. Send me this weird-ass story and then like a minute later is like, oh, by the way, don't put that in the show. Instant regret. Just like wanted Riggs personally to know that his brother like shit on a towel or something. Oh, I see what, yeah. I just like, hey, Riggs, I just want. Or do you think it was instant regret?

I feel like it's more what you're saying. It's just like, I just wanted Riggs and all that. I don't think I want everyone to know that. But instead, now everyone knows. Yeah, and I don't think I gave the guy's name. No, no. But it was like, it just, I laughed out loud when I said, I like, read the whole story. And then I was like, oh, I can scroll down.

and it just said that. Please don't put this on the show. All right, dude. All right, yeah, he could have said, it would have been better if he was like, just don't put my name on it. Something like that. Yeah, it was not like, do not tell this story.

It was weird. I was weird. So I just told the story, naturally. This is like the world that you go through, by the way, when you go through all of our, from the galleries.

Yeah. It's crazy world. It's a rabbit hole that you don't want to go down. Send us more. We love them, we love stories. I love going through all you guys weird-ass shit, including shit stories.

Finally, we've got, Oh, I think I have an ad read to do, Rob, don't I? Yep. Oh, no. Trent does. Oh, shit. We'll do that.

We can just cut this part. Okay. Or we just won't cut it. It doesn't really matter either way. Finally, we've got to talk about the Wells Pargo Championship. Yeah. But I'm doing my ad read first. Okay.

We're only two weeks out from the Players Championship. We've got the Wells Fargo Championship this week. It has moved for one year from the Quail Hollow to, because Quail Hollow is hosting BGA this year. Yeah. So the Wells Fargo has moved to Eagle, Point Golf Club in Wilmington, North Carolina. Okay.

DJ's back. Yeah, first tournament back since his... Air quotes fall. I don't even know what we're calling his master's thing anymore. I mean, to the general public, I'm sure it's still the back injury, but to people who follow golf closely, you just don't, you know... It's Justin Johnson just didn't play the Masters, and we don't... Not sure why.

The amount of stories that we have heard rumors... There are stories. They're just rumors at this point. Yeah. I mean, the caddies this... Last weekend at Bayonne, we're telling all their version. No, no, mine's the right one. The problem with all these stories is you just plug in like 30 different golfers.

Right. So every story we've heard, we've heard a bunch of stories, but you could have put in any golfer's name and we've gotten a story about that person. Everything. So it's, there's too much noise is what it is. Way too much noise. Anyways, DJ is back. It's a, like you said, first start. He's won his last three starts.

He's the favorite this week. He's got to be. He's got to be. He looks good. I saw it. of his started, somebody posted, somebody played like a round with him, posted an Insta of them last week, swinging. Swing look good, back looks good. So DJ's in the field.

It's a good, strong field. I also saw we got Phil, we got John Rom, Adam Scott's out there. Oh, I see Bryson D. Chambos in the field who we saw at the Zurich. Yeah, it's weird when you bash these guys sitting behind a microphone in a podcast studio in Manhattan. Yep. And then you fly down and they're just walking around and D. Shambo is like eight inches taller than you are. He's way taller and broad-shouldered and intimidating. and when we were doing our shoot with beef,

our illegal shoot with beef, as DeCambeau walked by, beef was like, hey, Brayson, has it going, blah, blah, paid us no mind. He definitely probably has no idea who we are. I wonder what would we have done if you would have, I mean, we would just shook in his hand, I'd be like, hi, nice to meet you.

I mean, I don't know, he had done a little rubbing his racing, go up to chest to chest with him, be like, what's up, man? So he saw him down there. Patrick Reed, Captain America, is also in the field. Yeah, saw him on the range.

Were you intimidated when you saw him on the range? No, because Patrick Reed is so dumpy. Yeah. He's so dumpy. He has dumpy. I like him. I picked him to win last week. I like Patrick Green's a lot.

I like him too. I like his whole vibe. Yeah. Even seeing him on the range, he's kind of got that cocky vibe to him. Oh, for sure. That's part of his deal. And I like it. Kevin Kisner, the Kiz, who's hot, hopefully doesn't lose in a playoff this week.

Z.J., your boys in the field. We saw that. Yeah. Always pulling for him. I'll never forget when Trent saw Zach Johnson at Augusta in the practice round. Yeah. Almost piss his pants. I can barely contain my excitement.

It's like, it's a hometown hero. Wesley Bryan's. in the field. Big, big for play guy. Yeah, again, he had another good week. He's, uh, he's having a hell of a fucking year. That guy's good. Very consistent, extremely consistent.

He's got the win in there, too, so it's, this, already a great year for him. He might have to be our guy that we claim as the one guy that, like, oh, he's, that's, that's, that's, that's, even say we discovered him, even though he had a big viral career before this. We'll be like, that's, we picked him out of a crowd and made him a PGA tour winner and star. You're welcome, world and Wesley. Also, there's, uh, I wrote down a couple names. representing the old guard this week. Okay.

We got Jim Furek. Yep. V.J. Singh. VJ. Ernie Ells. And the goose. Routif Goose. No way.

So it's a good field. It's a great field. I mean, I didn't realize the field was this strong, but now we're going through the names, and that's a hell of a fucking tournament. No, I really, I really didn't either, especially because, you know, the Zurich churned out a very, very strong field with the majority of the top 10 ranked players in the world playing in it. Yeah. And then, you know, in two weeks, like, a. said we've got the players championships. You really weren't sure on top of that.

You know, it switched venues from Quill Hollow to this Eagle Point Golf Club. I wasn't sure if they were going to get the turnout. Yeah, but they did. It's incredible. What do you expect? Anything crazy? I hope this is probably not the great thing to expect, but I hope DJ wins. I hope he just like doesn't miss a beat.

That would be very DJ to me because he is very good at putting things aside and like forgetting they ever happen. It seems like I'm not going to, I'm not calling him dumb. I think you were going to say that to me. You just randomly said out loud, I'm not calling him dumb. Because every time I bring up Dustin Johnson and say he forgets, he's able to forget things, he has a good short-term memory or bad short-term memory. You say that I call him dumb.

But I just think he's able to put those things in the back of his head. The Masters was obviously a huge deal, the biggest story of the week. If he just comes in and wins, it quietes all that noise. Well, it's going to make all of that completely obsolete. Right. Like the story, whatever actually happened, nobody's going to give a shit. Whereas if he comes out and he stinks, Everyone's going to be like, oh, my God, something scarring happened at the Masters,

and it's going to feed into all of these ridiculous rumors that they are ridiculous. They are. There's a theory that one of them's true. We don't know which one. They're ridiculous. I will say this. I'm not worried about Dustin re-injuring. Dustin Johnson re-injuring his back because I don't think his back was ever injured.

Really? Yes. I wouldn't go that far. Okay. Interesting. See, we disagree on that. All right. So you just think he's a big old.

liar. You think he's a dumb liar. No, I'm saying that he lied about the back injury. Yeah, I definitely think that's true. It'll be telling this week. A lot of smoke. Tune in to the Wells Fargo to see if Dustin Johnson is basically a big dumb liar or not. If he's smart, which you're saying to me that he's not, he would injure his back.

I'm saying that you're saying that he's not. He would injure his back again. I'm doing air quotes just to sell that story. Just like get out there first tee. Ah, not my back hurts again. I got to go. See, that would really kind of seal it up. You think that would seal it up more than a win?

No. A win helps everything. If he wins, everybody forgets about everything. The old Eldrick. He takes care of everything. He's right. On that note, enjoy it. Everybody, that wraps up this week.

You don't have anything else, right, Trent? Nope, that's it. Octagon Bob, one of his last week's on the job. Yep. Second and last week, it's bittersweet. Rob, why don't you hit him with what they're supposed to know at the end of the podcast? Hit it hard. Hit it hard.
