We're going to get into that later in the podcast. As is tradition, we're going to kick it off with a little greenskeeping, folks.

Make sure that you go onto iTunes and subscribe and leave a fire review, ideally five-star review, to win a green jacket. This is coming out the last day of February. That means you've got a very minimal amount of time or next month. You know, you got a lot of time. You need to make it extra good. One day left, go leave a fire review to win a green jacket. The jackets are fire.

Everybody loves them. Everybody wants them. There's only one way to get them. You got to leave a fire review. We're going to add into greenskeeping this week some shoutouts. I want to shout out to our friends at Arabian Golf TV. Big fans of the podcast. Huge fans of the podcast.

Keep up the great work out there. We really appreciate it. Trent's got a little shout out here. We want to give a shout out to Dan Kowalski at the Oak Ridge Golf Club in New Haven, Michigan. They gave us a bunch of apparel, some shirts, some hats. It's fire. Shout out to Dan Kowalski at Oak Ridge Golf Club. And if you are a local club, want to send us some gear.

We'll give you a shout on the podcast. Maybe we'll come by your golf course sometime and do a golf course review. You know, we love gear. these guys they sent us some great stuff great shirts we're going to wear it we're going to send out a couple photographs we're we're huge fans of all local clubs local i guess to the world because basically a club anywhere is what we call a local club right so send us stuff um we really appreciate it shout to those guys also shout out to our friend john ellis who alerted us that he actually named our podcast i forgot about it we put the word out a long time ago that we were going to start a golf podcast and we're like

hey we're looking for names went through a bunch of them and i once he's said that I recalled him being like it should be foreplay and he was right it's true we put it out there this was midsummer trent and i we'd never met each other we're internet friends uh we really didn't know what the future held we really didn't know how how much we would get along anything like that but we're like hey let's do a golf podcast type thing put it out only had like a couple thousand people listen to it and we called it the unnamed golf podcast at the time we did yeah we'd never met we just went through a bunch of players i think we listed if we liked them or it's basically what player feelings is now it was a whole podcast to that

And, but yeah, now we've got a name and it's for play. And it's shout to John Ellis. John Ellis. So shout out to John. Also, shout out to the brand new bar stool polos, golf polos that are in the store. By popular demand. By popular demand. We want people to understand, people have been begging for these for months.

Yep. Even before the podcast existed. Look, we want people to understand that we wanted to do these the right way. And that's very, very tricky when you know nothing about merch or slinging merch or margins or any of that shit. We didn't want to put out a dog shit shirt, but we also needed to find something that would be, you know,

within the price range where people would actually buy it. That takes a lot of kind of trial and error, experimentation. You and I learned a lot through this process because you and are like, we want golf shirts, we don't golf bowls, people want them. We think we can sell out of them. We want them to look good.

And we want them up in the store right now. And everyone, T-shirt, chip, and everybody else was like, uh, we got to talk about it. And we talked a lot about it. And I think we came to the right conclusion.

Yep. Shout out to our boy T-shirt Chip, who we kind of yelled at a couple times. We got a little hostile with it. You know, the day, the shirts are sweet. They're Nike. They're great material. We picked a couple designs that we really like. There's the classic.

There's also the Royal Blue with the red and white, which is probably the fastest selling hat that we've ever had. No doubt about it. That color scheme, so you can get the shirts in both of those. We're going to be modeling those left and right. You're not going to be able to miss us. We're going to be all up in your grill. Absolutely phenomenal polo.

Go to the Barstool Store. Go to Foreplay by all of our stuff. stuff in there. Trent, I believe that was greenskeeping. We always crushed greenskeeping. That was great. That was a longer one with shoutouts and everything. I think we crushed it. A lot of shoutouts. Really, Arabian Golf TV didn't see them coming. Glad that they're huge fans. Next up, Rigsie Golf Minute. This one's short this week. Ricky Fowler, of course, won the Honda Classic. Those that are paying attention. That's two in a row for our anonymous DM source. We're going to get into that much later in the podcast again by very, very popular demand. And we also got our four-play boys.

We're in the field this week. Willie Wilcox, John Kern, and Ali Snyderjans. How did they do? Also, Amy Yang won the Honda LPGA Thailand by five shots. Congratulations to her. That's the Rigsie Golf Minute. Trent, back to the Honda Classic. Ricky Fowler, 54 whole leader, had a four-shot lead, finally close it out.

What do you think? Impressive. Finally, he gets that he was 0-4 when he had a 54 lead previous in his career. finally closed it out, much to the chagrin of our guy, not of our guy, but of Johnny Miller. It's good to see Ricky get a win. I think, well, I don't think I know. He's had the overrated tag for a long time. It kind of, it did go away after the players.

But now he's getting wins. He's a little behind some of his counterparts, like Jordan Spieth and those guys, but always good to see Ricky get a win. It kind of surprised me that he was 0 and 4 in holding 54-hole leads because I've always kind of, I've never seen him as a like a collapseer. You know what I mean? He's always been kind of doing well. And so, like, late in the tournaments, he's always players, for example, when he was firing him in there on 17 and all that.

I thought that was, he just has the reputation to me of, like, pretty ballsy down the stretch. The fact that he was 0-and-4 shocked me. Yeah, I mean, he did have that, was it last year the waste management against Hedecki, where he kind of fell apart down the stretch. And he even fell apart down the stretch this week a little bit. He had a big enough lead where it didn't matter. But one

the water. It didn't really matter because he had such a big lead. So I know what you're saying, but he's also had moments where you can kind of see he's not the best closer. Yeah, he had that hilarious putt, too, on like the third or fourth hole, where he putted it into a hole, like 30 feet short of a hole. Not only did he putt it into a hole, but I'm completely blanking on Hatton, who he was playing with. He just hit it into the hole right before that.

It was two consecutive shots into the sprinkler head, just very bizarre stuff. It looked like both of them were aiming for the hole. Ricky especially. Yeah. Ricky with that putt, it looked like he went right for it. It wasn't even going for the hole in the golf. Like if he would have just started fist pumping, I would have been like, oh, what a putt. That's good.

What a save. Another birdie here, another par. Unbelievable. What a guy. So, yeah, the Honda, I mean, it's a great tourney. We had another really funny moment early in the coverage yesterday. Ian Polter steps up. They do this big thing.

He's on like a medical exemption. He's got to make, you know, $200-something thousand dollars in the next like six weeks. So they're like every shot's really important to him. He really, he's come out for the record and said he's going to be on the next Rider Cup team and they're going to win it and all that. Puts one in the drink. Right in the drink. Right in the drink.

Fucking terrible shot, not even close. People hate Pulter so much, and I get it, we all do, that I wouldn't be surprised if the announcer purposely set him up like that. Like, oh, let's give him a huge glowing review. He's going to be great. He says he's going to be great. Now let's see what happens and just boom, right in the drink. Love it, USA all the way.

I liked it too because they kept the camera on him for like a four, five, six seconds after the shot, and he, like, walks over his bag and slams his club in it. You know, every American fan out there, they're like, yeah, fuck you, Polder. So that was a great clip. We can't rally around too much together nowadays. The hatred for Ian Poulter is something we can all just totally agree on. Yeah, that felt good also. He's just a Twitter asshole.

So that was nice to see. It's a good, feel good story. Headlines, Johnny Miller was, again, he just, he's kind of an electric factory. That's the thing. I hate him. And we've been lucky for guys like me who don't like him. A lot of CBS broadcasts. We're now getting into the NBC part of the schedule.

So it's always Johnny the afternoon's coverage. I can't decide. Well, I can't decide. I fucking hate Johnny Miller. Okay. One of the guys that hate most in golf. But then there is the flip side of that where he makes it interesting because we all hate him so much. Yeah, he is one of those guys.

Definitely. I love Johnny Miller. No. Oh, man. I love him. He is amazing. His ability to just grab, like, whenever the commentator, are like, oh, it's a really tricky lie, and he just slides in with, like,

now you just kind of stand on your left leg. I've done it before many times. I think that is. It comes to mind when Tiger chipped in on 17 in the 2008 U.S. Open on Saturday, when they're like, oh, it's a really tricky, kind of like an uphill, sidehill line. Johnny Moe was just like, no, you just, you kind of just put all your weight on one leg. I've done it many times, and Tiger Chips are just like, yep, see? So Johnny Moeer's incredible.

He, look, his comment yesterday was something along the lines. I've got it read it out. He says, this is on Ricky's win. A win is a win, but you've got to learn how to finish. You've got to learn to finish out Sunday. He's like a true champion. He hasn't learned how to do that yet. You won by four strokes.

Look, ridiculous quote, but also we know what he's saying. Like, that was a little sloppy down the strats. Dustin Johnson did the same thing the week before, where it was like, yeah, he's still won by five fucking shots or whatever he won by. but it was like he made a couple bogies coming down the stretch. You know, you typically, where we used to Tiger, who he's got like a four-shot lead at the turn, he wins by like nine. Right. No, and it's less about comments like that, the one Miller said there,

because there was some truth to it. Ricky put that one in the water was a little sloppy. But it's the comments, like, it's what you're saying. It could be a triple breaker putt. It could be going a million miles an hour and be like, that looks pretty straight to me. It's like, fuck you, dude. He'll just slide in like, no, every put's a straight put.

Really, it's just pick a line's not a problem. So, I mean, I kind of love Johnny Miller. No, he's a jukebox. He says the same things. Every golf announcer is a jukebox. No, he's worse. Every Sunday, if a golfer who had a lead slips back a little bit towards the pack, he'll be like, nerves. Nerves.

Oh, he does do that. Like, someone will just hit a put that's like, you know, slightly grazes the edge, and he'll be like, oh, that was a terrible stroke. You're like, no, he just misread about like half a ball. It's not that big of a deal. If you want to have the best Sunday fun day of your life, drink every time Johnny Miller says nerves on a Sunday and you'll be blacked out by 3 o'clock. Look, is Johnny Miller ridiculous?

Absolutely, but I love him for it. He's amazing. He did too for a stretch. Was the best golfer on the planet. I respect the hell out of that. He'll never. He's a clown, but he's Johnny Miller. He will never let you forget that he was a good golfer.

He talks about it all the time. No, I see what you're saying. There is the argument to be made, and you're making it that he's better than just somebody who's wallpaper and we're not talking about, we could be talking about somebody else, but we're not. We're talking about Johnny Miller because he's such a fucking dick.

It is funny, too, because all the people that hate Brandl Chambly, they always use the opposite argument where they're like, they shit on Chambly for having, like, a shitty career. Yeah. So Johnny Miller's kind of the opposite where, like, people don't want to give him credit because they kind of, they think he's a dick or whatever, and a lot of players do think he's a dick, but that's Johnny Miller.

I kind of like him. I always kind of like him. He's Johnny fucking Miller. I know that the players hate him, but. It's good to have us disagree on something. We agree on the whole Tiger stuff. It's good that you like Johnny Miller, I guess, because I fucking hate him. Bryson D. Shambo, I have to admit, Trent, you were right.

Fuck this guy. This is one where we were on opposite sides, and now we are on the same side. He's the worst. He came out with his, so basically the USGA has been breathing down his neck about his ridiculous side saddle situation. I believe it was one of the greats. It was Sam Sneed who did that a little bit as well. Yeah. The side saddle.

It's ridiculous. Here, I've got a quote here that he had a run-in with the USGA, and this was when a media member ran up on and asked him about it. Quote, it was a long conversation, but the USGA essentially doesn't like me doing it. I'm pretty much done with it. They're not a good organization, and you can quote me on that. I'm part of their family, and as a family, it's very frustrating to see them stunt the growth of the game. And then, a couple of days later, he backtracked on all of it.

He's like, I'm sorry. I got caught in the heat of the moment, blah, blah, blah. This guy is the worst. I don't hate shitting on the USGA, but I knew he's going. going to backtrack. Oh, some journalist caught me at an emotional time. I cannot fucking stand that. That drives me and saying the other thing like it stunts the growth of the game, dude, you're side-saddling. Like nobody, there's not millions of fucking little kids out there. They're like, oh, I'm not going to take up the game anymore because he can't side-saddle. Who gives a fuck? It's a side-saddle. No, and I'm with you on the USGA thing. If you want to dunk on the USGA, go ahead. It is, it's the backtracking.

He's just, this whole thing. It's all about attention. Make a cut. Make a cut for me. Play better. Play better. Make a cut. He hasn't made a cut in, I can't even tell you the last time he made a cut. Make a cut and you can bitch and moan and you can put using your fucking foot. I don't care. Just make a cut and you can, and stop talking until you do.

Another thing that put me over the edge on him was they did a segment yesterday during the coverage of the guys in the truck, like the equipment truck, that have to custom make his wedges for him in all the time that it takes them. They have to like, sent his wedges there's so much longer than everybody else's because he uses all of his eye under the same length. they're way heavier. So he has to get him down to like the same weight as a traditional wedge, even though they're way longer.

So they have to shave off all these parts of the wedge. And the guy in the van, or the truck, they're talking to him. And he's like, wow, you got to shave this. And it takes this amount of time. Those guys have to fucking hate this, dude. If you're going to make all these, if you're going to change up your clubs like this, he should have to do all that stuff himself. Bryson.

If you're going to be the mad scientist who shaves your clubs and all the irons of the same link, do it yourself. Don't make those poor guys in the truck. do it. That's my opinion. I agree. Speaking of backtracking, Tiger Woods, Pat Perez. I mean, I'm torn on how to feel about this one. I don't know if I need to read the quote because I think everybody knows by now. The big takeaway, which is what everybody used to grab headlines, myself included on the blog, barstolesolesports.com, it was he knows he can't beat anybody. That's what everybody pulled away from it. But Pat Perez is speaking some truths here.

I'm going to, I can take my Tiger fan boy hat off for a second. I don't know if you can, where he's saying... I can. Tiger has this new TGR company, and he needs that to be relevant enough so people support it. What do you do if you need support? You commit you to you're going to play

four out of five weeks. You say you're coming back. You say you've got monster in your bag. You say you're signing him in a bridge stone. You say you're doing all these things and there's all this hype, and then you just don't follow through on it. Question.

Yeah. What is this whole TGR fucking thing? I have no idea. What is that? It's a Ponzi scheme that sounds. It's just like a Ponzi scheme of golf courses and like 9. shit that Tiger Woods owns.

I don't know what it is, but restaurants. If you go back to when he debuted it, it has all of the, it checks all the boxes for like a Ponzi scheme, like flashy logos, flashy slogans, a head guy. And it's like, we want to do synergy. We want to do this and that. Allegedly. Allegedly. What's allegedly?

The Ponzi scheme. Oh, yeah, it's allegedly a Ponzi scheme. We can't technically say that it is, but I understand. That's producer full-time payroll Rob looking out for us over there. Slash lawyer Rob. Yeah, lawyer Rob. job lawyer right call I was going off a little bit on the handle yeah I mean

I guess the thing that I didn't like is I genuinely don't believe that Tiger doesn't believe that he can win I think that's right when he comes back I think that he thinks he can win I want to think that's true but I don't know if it is also for the people saying Pat Perez can't

criticize Tiger Woods that's bullshit those people are idiots I mean I actually think Pat Perez saying what Pat Perez said is fine. The bottom line is you can't really take, you can't really take it back because he didn't really say anything wrong. You just have to know when you say what he said that you're going to get a ton of backlash. Yeah, and he's the victim of now he's being like, oh, I'm a huge tiger fan. Right.

He's doing that whole fucking trade. Which is kind of annoying, but I do feel bad for him in the sense that he got, something got pulled out of context, but it's what you're saying. If you're going to say it, and I respect him for having the balls of say it about Tiger because I guarantee everyone else on the tour is thinking the same thing, or at least some of the people on tour are thinking this exact same thing. So shout out to Pat Perez for saying this, but I don't love that he's walking it back. Yeah, don't hate that he said it, hate that he's walking it back.

Stick to it, and you're fine. Let's get a little stick-to-itiveness out of these people. Speaking of not stick-to-ing it,iveness. Is that close? I don't think so. Jason Day withdrew with like he's dying, basically. It was like a double ear infection in the flu. Double ear infection in the flu for our guy Jason.

This guy, he can get hurt in the weirdest ways. He's a Band-Aid, too. He's got the Vertigo thing. He had, like, what was his big issue they had a couple years ago? He had another injury. It was like a thumb or something like that. The Vertico is the number one thing when he's just, like, on the ground. That's not good.

No. Vertigo's bad, really, really bad. Shout to our guy, Coli, who also has it. Yep, yep. So. Well, so Tiger is kind of Jason's mentor. Yeah. And it almost seems like Tiger's injury woes are rubbing off on Jason.

Which is not good. Not good at all. Because if Jason could stay healthy, if he had been healthy his whole career, he has stretches where he's unstoppable. He's unbelievable. When he's on, he just, he roast the golf ball. He makes every putt. He's got, his swing is fantastic. So probably not a great sign, you know, with the Masters coming up in a month that he's out.

Prayers up, though. We love Jason Day. Love Jason Day. I just wanted him to be healthy. by the way, speaking of withdrawing from a tournament, it's not the same thing, but did you see what your boy, Billy Horshiel said? Yeah, I heard a little bit. He said he didn't make the group of 77 that's going to be playing,

but he said he was not sure if he would go anyway because of security concerns down to Mexico. This fucking guy is the worst. So, yeah, so he didn't make it, whatever it is, like 77 guys or something like that. Yeah. Didn't qualify for WGC, Mexico, and then came out with the quote, Oh, I wouldn't have gone anyways. It's too risky, too dangerous. Fuck you, Billy Horshaw.

I've said it before. I've said it again. He's the only guy, I believe, to my knowledge, that has me blocked on Twitter machine in the world. I don't even think I've ever tweeted directly at him. Maybe I have. He's had me blocked. People went to bat for me to try to get me unblocked.

And then I think he blocked me again because he was like, oh, this guy, maybe he's not that bad. Turns out I was shitting on him. This is why. This is, he bitching him out the Greens at Chambers Bay. He's always got some issue. You, dude, security concerns? You wouldn't have gone anyway?

Rob said it best before we got on. He's the guy he didn't get invited the parties. He's like, oh, I didn't want to go to that party anyway. The party sucks. The party's awesome. It's a WGC fucking Mexico. It's a cool new event. It's one of the WGCs.

There's not that many. They're very prestigious. It's a big fucking thing. You didn't qualify because you're not good enough. And then you're saying blame it on Mexico security. This guy's a loser. You got anything on Billy Horchardt trip? No.

I think you summed it up pretty well right there. All right. Go ahead. I just had a little bit of news from over the weekend. Paulina and Dustin Johnson announced the gender of their child, of their next child. It's a boy. What do they have, two boys now? This will be a boy.

I don't know if you watch the clip or not. So they're on a beach, and Paulina starts the Instagram, oh, we're about to announce our next baby. Dustin hits it, big old plume of blue smoke. And then Dustin calmly walks by the camera. He's like, another boy. Wow. Another boy. How pumped is he?

He, that's the most excited I've ever seen. Dustin Johnson. Guy doesn't get excited that much, but when he found out he was having another boy, the look in his eye was contagious. Good for him. He deserves it. We talked a lot of DJ last week. Guy's the man. Speaking of the man, coming up next, we have an interview with a guy who's very hot right now, hot in the news, hot in the golf world. Originally trick shot artist, now PGA tour. Golfer, our good friend Wesley Brian, enjoy this interview. All right, folks, we are joined by Wesley Brian. First of all, great week this last week coming off a T4 finish at the Honda Classic. You kind of mentioned it a little bit beforehand, but where are you right now? What are you up to?

I am in Jupiter, Florida right now, just hanging out and getting ready. Kind of basing myself out of here for the Florida swing the first of the three or four events that I'll be playing down around these parts this past week and just killing time until Val's far next week. Yeah, you kind of mentioned you had a little U-Haul action going on already? Yeah, I just moved into a new place down here and loaded up a sofa in the back of a U-Haul and drove it about 15 miles from West Palm up here to Jupiter, and it's, God, it's looking good out in the parking lot right now. I actually just peeked out of the window. Just the common man moving his stuff around.

We actually, we both just moved to New York City a few months ago, so we did the whole U-Haul thing ourselves. Oh, how's a U-Haul in New York City I drove a new hall from Cedar Rapids, Iowa Not sure if you know where that is Zach Johnson's from there Of course I do All the way to New York City And it was like the worst 17 hours of my life

Especially the worst part is what you're saying Once you get to New York It takes longer to get from like the outskirts of New York Into the city than it does like the whole rest of the trip Oh, that's awesome All right, so we got to touch on it First of all, the Brian Bros You guys, you know, trick shot superstars, huge YouTube channel.

What was it like kind of getting into the whole trick shot, you know, movement before you were even really established and kind of playing pro golf out there? I mean, we got into it because, one, George and I were really, really broke, and two, we were really bored. We had a lot of time on our hands, just beating around on mini tours. So when we found that we had this skill set, we decided to put it on the internet and it kind of ran wild a little bit and found that we could make a little side business out of it. And then we just kept running and picked up some notoriety along the way. And it gave us the ability to keep funding our professional careers. And then that's how I ended up getting through Q school and out on tour really. Yeah, I feel like because people forget or just don't know that, you know, playing out of the mini tours and all that term.

I mean, it's not free. It's expensive. It's expensive and it really, really sucks. Yeah. I mean, there's nothing glamorous about it. Yes, we're going to ask you a little bit about that, just kind of the difference between, you know, the kind of mini tours grinding it out versus, you know, what you're getting into these days. You got any horror stories from the mini tours? I mean, I've got a couple horror stories for sure.

I mean, you never knew if you were going to show up to a golf course and they were going to have just annihilated punch greens. There were a couple nights where I was driving back or driving to and just pulled off in a rest area and slept in my car. I've, oh, shoot, beginning of the week, I'd always buy a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter and that would be my breakfast, lunch and dinner some weeks. So, I mean, I've done it all. That's awesome. I love that. Yeah. So I also got to ask with, you know, with the trick shots and that whole gig, you've had

guys like Rory and all them on, how do those guys translate? I mean, can those guys hop right in and participate or is there a lot of growing pains in there? They're growing pains when it comes to actually hitting the ball out of midair. You never run across somebody who can just do it. That's kind of something you've got to pick up on and practice a little bit and get to a level where, you just, it's like second nature to you. But, I mean, they can always jump right in, like, hitting basic, skillful golf shots to set me up to hit it out of midair.

Rory was the best I've ever seen at that. Like, you just tell him to hit a ball out of a bunker and landed on the spot, and I'm not kidding, he would land it on the spot more often than not. And those are the kind of things that made my job a little bit easier. That's phenomenal. Yeah, we're a huge Rory guy, so that's good to hear. I love Rory. And he still owns a dinner, actually, from that.

video. Does he? Oh, wow. Yeah, he does. I might take him up on it. I think he's going to be at Bay Hill. A little shout out to Rory, buy these guys dinner. Yeah, tell me about it. So are there, we're kind of wondering, we were trying to do a little research. Are there like golf, you know, trick-shot, like, rivalries out there? Is there anybody that posts a video and you guys are like, uh-oh, we got to get to work and want up these guys? Or are you guys like the only game in town? I mean, at the time we were doing it, we were pretty much the only game in town. But now there's a couple guys out there that are doing stuff that George and I couldn't even stab them doing.

One of the guys' names is hole in one trick shots and the other one is Coach Rusty, and they're, like, I don't even think we can recover and come back because of the bar that they set. But you do keep tabs on the other, you know, other trick shot guys? Oh, yeah. It's a little, it's a small, tight-knit community. We all pull free. I love that.

So, of course, last year, you know, you're out. Web.com tour, you obviously had a really quick rise. You got the three wins last year. What's kind of just kind of talk us through that whole transition, I guess, of kind of really grinding out the mini tours to you get those three wins and pretty quick succession. And now you're kind of on your way. I would say the web.com tour last year was kind of like a blackout.

It just, I woke up one day and I had a couple wins under my belt. I was in contention for the third one and was able to win in a playoff. and that's about all I really remember of it. It was just a blur. I think only played 13 events maybe. And I had expectations going into the season. I thought I was good enough to, you know, compete, maybe get close to winning a couple tournaments here or there,

maybe buy for one of the top 25 spots on the money list, those type of expectations. But I definitely didn't foresee winning a golf tournament, much less. three of them my first year out. So definitely exceeded expectations and definitely don't really remember it all. It was a big blur. I can relate to blacking out. No problem.

So we're big caddy guys too. And I know that you had your brother George on the bag for your first win on the web.com. What was that kind of relationship like out on the course? Well, I mean, it just depended on the whole of the shot. we were either best friends or we hated each other. That's exactly what I figured. 50% of the time is great. The other 50% is, yeah, you know, who that.

So going back, you've had a lot of success, like you said on the web.com tour. Is there any sort of stigma attached to, you know, you're the trickshot guy, then you're having success? Does the success validate, you know, what you've done in the past with the trickshot stuff? I think that the general golf public kind of got to know me as a trick-shot guy just because that's what was making headlines, not my T-20th place finishes in many tour events. But a lot of the guys out here, the players, I grew up playing either junior or amateur or college or mini-tour golf with, and they kind of knew me as a player first, and then the trick-shot stuff just happened to be a little a little stop in the road, I guess, so to speak.

And I mean, yeah, I still get a lot of comments week to week, whether I'll pull off a shot out of the trees or someone just makes a snarky comment here there. Yeah, we were kind of laughing just watching the coverage this weekend because they basically, any time they'd mention you, they're like, oh, yeah, a trick shot artist fellow, we're kind of like, oh, I mean, he did win three times on the web. not Govdor's player of the year last year. So it's not like this guy just trick shot at his way into the tournament. Right, yeah.

I mean, I guess that's, shoot. You know, if they're talking about you, that means you must be doing something. That's kind of been the barstool way, too. I love that. Okay, so we've also got, you know, we're a huge waste management guys. You finished T-42 there. You're coming off a T-4 at Genesis and a T-4 at the Honda. We've got to know, I mean, what was it like playing in the waste management?

The waste management is my family event, and I can promise to you guys that I will never miss that event for now until I am deceased. I think we have to make the same promise. We've got to go. We've never been. I don't know what y'all are waiting for because it is the biggest circus side show that just happens to have a golf tournament down that week. And to make things even more ridiculous, I played with beef on Saturday. And I don't know if you saw the crowd on Saturday, but it was a record of people, 205,000 people that are just floating around this 18-hole golf course. And all of them slightly inebriated, to say the least. And playing with beef was, I mean, honestly, I can't even describe it.

And number 16 was just on a whole other level. Yeah, we pretty much, we basically committed to, no matter what we do. with golf and our golf coverage that have worn out of that event next year that we're just like retiring and quitting. How about this? Let's just go ahead and put it on the calendars. We'll have a full 30-minute feature segment

and I'll take you guys out inside the ropes for a practice round. Absolutely. That's done deal. We're putting it in stone right now. It's now on a recorded podcast. That's law-biting. That's everything. It's now we're doing that.

That's going to be great. All right. I'm there. You got to get us too. We've got to get some kind of wild trick shot thing where we can either just make complete idiots of ourselves or maybe get lucky and do something cool. I thought we were getting past the trick shot thing, remember? Tushay. And then here you guys go bringing it up, and that's going to be a year in advance.

Rob, make sure you book that. We're going to be there. We've got to be inside the ropes. 30 minutes. That's going to be wild. Oh, y'all are going to be inside the ropes. That's fantastic. So walk us through a little bit this last two events, really, like I said, with John.

Genesis in Honda. You're in the mix. You're right up at the lead. It's somewhere, you know, you've never been before. You're a rookie and all that. Kind of, what are you feeling out there? Is it something new, something you've never been through before? I mean, it's, honestly, it's the same feeling you get in any golf tournament,

whether it's on the web.com tour or PGA tour. The only thing that's different is, yeah, the golf courses might be a little bit harder, and then the names are different on the leader. But, obviously, last year, there were the Dustin Johnson, Justin Rhodes, Ricky Fowler, Jason Day, those type of names up on the leaderboard that I was looking at the last couple weeks. But still a lot of really good players. You just hadn't quite heard of them yet. But, I mean, the feeling is the same.

And honestly, the last couple weeks, I had a better chance to win this week than I did last week. But they were kind of both runaway victories. So everyone's kind of out there playing for second place. You don't get your jollies up playing for second place easily. So I'm just ready to get in the thick of things coming down the stretch with a chance to actually knock down a first place prize. As a rookie, you said, you see the Dustin Johnson, the Ricky Fowler's on the leaderboards.

Do you block all that out? Is there any sort of awe factor, or are you putting all that out and just trying to play your best golf? Shoot, I'm just trying to take them down, trying to dethrone them. I love that attitude. Are you a scoreboard watcher? Yeah, I love looking at the scoreboard. Now, if it gets to a point where I look at the scoreboard

and it dictates what I do on the next shot, I'll probably have to stop watching them. But I'm able to kind of compartmentalize looking at a scoreboard versus the shot that I have at hand. I like that. I do something similar where, like, whenever I go play golf, I'll try it to turn my cell phone off. But then if I look at it, then my next shot afterwards,

if it's a good one, I'll keep looking at my cell phone. If it's a bad one, I'm like, that wasn't my fault, guys. I looked at my phone. That's not my bad. Oh, man, I felt it vibrate in my pocket. Yeah, right. I just blame everything on my phone. I like Riggs comparing PGA tour conditions to his cell phone going off during like a casual round.

Look, I'm just trying to relate to the guys, all right? Well, it's not even a cell phone going off. It's the fact that he looked at it or didn't look at it. I like literally like... So we're going on a whole other level of psychological warfare. I read like one tweet and messed up my whole round. I'm like, oh, no, I can't like off anymore. So I got to ask, too, you know, they always talk, you always hear the announcers like, oh, you guys will be on the fourth hole and they're like, oh, I don't know, is he thinking about the bear trap already?

And I'm like, that stuff, there's no way that stuff creeps in until you guys are really playing those holes. And that stuff doesn't really creep in until after you played the hole in it got you. Because it happened to me twice as we got three balls in the water in the last two days on the bear trout and caused me winning the golf tournament. So now I'm looking back at it, like screw those holes. But at the time, you're just trying to hit the best shot you possibly can. It's not like they're the most intimidating holes you'll play all year either. It's just there happens to be a few of them in a road that are pretty tough. Yeah, and it's, you know, when they come in the tournament and all that, like you said,

you're just trying to play one shot at a time. It's not like you're out there, like, oh, my God, the bear trap. Like, what are we going to do? The pear trap can bite, though. Oh, yeah. It jumps up. It's funny how they hype it every time. but then, I mean, it does factor.

And even Ricky on 17 there was a little, you never know. Yeah, shoot, I had a double coming in on 16, and then on Saturday I had a little dove action on 15. Hey, that happens. You should see me and Trent play those holes. It could be wild. Yeah, I actually prefer to not take you up on that offer. But Phoenix is still a go. Phoenix is still a total green light.

All right, as long as waste management is on, you don't have to watch us play the Bear Trap. Yeah, we're still in for Waste Management. We're out on Bear Trap. Okay. All right, we're going to close it with what we always close it with. We do a little rapid fire. We just have two or three questions. We ask real quick.

You give quick answers, and then we'll let you go. All right, let's do it. All right, number one, what's your go-to curse word after a bad shot? Oh, gosh. Fart Nuggets. Amazing. Amazing. That might be the best answer we've ever gotten on this show.

Who? Okay, next one. Who on tour would absolutely suck at doing trick shots? I'm going to go Tiger Woods. Whoa! Love it. Wow. I mean, just shots fired. No, I mean, I don't know.

I was just going to try and get y'all animated. That's true. You got Trent. Honestly, what all? I think they'd all suck, really. Oh, I like that. I don't practice it. That's fair point.

Full disclosure, we weren't sure you were going to answer that question. like a real name, and you just, you called out everybody. I love it. Yeah, no one's safe, not in this game. Love that. Fierce. Okay. Last rapid fire.

If you could make the exact same amount of money doing trick shots, videos with your brother all day long, or playing the PJ Tour golf every weekend, which would you choose? You want me to say, play the PJ Tour, so I screw my brother out of making money? I mean, it's just, we're just good journalists. Trick question for a trick shot guy. That's awful. I'm playing the PGA tour. Scree, George. Oh, a lot of shots fired today. Shots fired at Tiger Woods, shots fired at the whole PGA, and your own brother.

Also, shots fired at us and said he just didn't want to see us play the bear trap. God, Lee, I'm a cynical man. I like that. That's good to know when you're out there. Yeah, you got a little edge to you. I like you. I like it. Oh, I enjoyed it, guys. All right, Wesley, we really appreciate it. We will be following you out there. You've been playing really well lately,

so hoping you keep that up out there. Well, I appreciate it. Thank you for having me on. All right, man. We'll be following you, keep it up, play well, and hopefully we'll talk soon, and we'll definitely see you at Phoenix next year. Done deal.

All right, man, take care. Thanks, Wesley. All right, Trent, that was Wesley Bryan. Great guy, great guest. Got to have him one of those guys, we've got to do a video with that guy. Absolutely. Yeah, shout out to him for coming on.

He was a good guest. I wonder if he could get us to look good. hitting cool shots. Maybe. We'll see about that. Next, everybody's favorite, favorite segment from the gallery. Remember, email us, Foreplay at BarstoolSports.com or Twitter us or Instagram us at ForPlayPod.

We got a couple this week. A ton of submissions per usual. We just got two that we picked out. We're going to start off with Garrett. Garrett has a little bit of a predicament. He says, my one buddy, that he holds himself to the golf rule book, and anyone that doesn't is just cheating themselves,

so he's a rule, you know, one of those guys, rule Nazi, rule hardo, that's fine. Everybody knows a few of those. Everybody knows a couple of those, especially golf are a lot more common than everything else, and that's fine. You want to play by the rules, play by the rules. However, he says, how do you handle a situation when that same buddy holds out from 150 yards out for eagle, but had to pull his ball from underneath the trees

to make it playable? Do you adamantly deny his eagle, or do you share the excitement? moment of his shot. What do you think, Trent? You can't be the guy who adamantly denies his eagle. I'm too nice of a guy to call. I'd rather celebrate. We're all having a good time.

I'd rather celebrate. I know he's the golf hardo and he should be the one following these rules. Life's too short to be like going up to your buddy being like, that doesn't count, man. You've got to count your strokes the right way. Who in the literal fuck is a rule Nazi and then pulls their ball out from under a tree and then holes out for eagle? And there is some hypocrisy in there. That's insane.

There is some hypocrisy. I've never heard anything like that in my life. My, okay, my issue with it with what you just said is this, is that you know this guy at some point, probably many, many, many points has just been a massive dickhead to his buddies over the rules. Been like, oh, like you accidentally nudged your ball there on the green. That's an extra stroke and all of that. Like, shit that doesn't actually affect the play.

Right. That's just stupid that, like, even people would bitch him out on TV as like they should just get rid of that. It's a dumbass rule. You know he's been a hard-o on his buddies about that. So the fact that, like, how could you feel like an answer? asshole for just I would love to rip this on his hands. I would fucking thrive on that. I'm confused by this question, I think, because I don't think these people exist. I don't think

a person who's a golf hardo would ever like kick their ball out into the fairway. I feel like that's two, those two things go against each other. Yeah, weird move to by Garrett to like watch him cheat and then not call him on it until after he holds out for equal. Like, why wouldn't you just say, hey dude, I just like, you're always hard on some of the rules. You just fucking move your ball from underneath a tree. That's where you got to nip it in the bud. You got to nip it in the butt. if you're going to do that. If he makes the eagle, I guess you just celebrate. But I'm not calling Garrett a liar because I don't think he would lie.

The guy being a golf hard-oh rule guy and then a guy cheating all in the same things happening at once, I don't think that's a real thing that happens. I think Garrett's best policy might be a prevention policy and just, like you said, get ahead of it next time. Don't let this guy hit his fucking 150-yard shot from not under the trees when he's under the trees. Call him out for it beforehand or something. But if he does hold out, I'm yelling at him all day. I'm taking away from him. fuck you, you're a cheater.

Let me ask you this quick question. Are you a golf rules hardo? Depends who I'm playing it with. Okay. So if I'm like, the main reason is because I just, I believe on every hole, everyone needs to make sure that they're, that they're playing the same way. Okay. So if I'm teed off and guys are like, hey, we're playing it up in the fair way, you can even, if it's like winter rules, you can fluff it up in the rough or like bunkers are kind of shitty here, give yourself a good lie, maybe rake it beforehand. As long as everybody knows, we're all on the same page, totally fine.

But if I get out there and like I have a shitty lie, I hit it in like a divot on a fairway on like the second hole. Nobody says a word to me and I'm playing out of the divot, that's fine. But then if five holes later that same motherfuckers in a divot, he's like, yo, Rigsie, is it cool? Like we're playing it up in the fair. No, go fuck yourself. Okay. So as long as we're playing the same rules, I really don't give a shit. If I'm playing with people that are hard-o rules, guys, totally fine with that.

That's how the game's meant to be played. If I'm playing people that are a little more, you know, laissez-faire, kind of hanging out, Lucy Goosey, totally fine. I think that's a great answer. next guy we got what we're going to kind of call the tiger talk of the week basically this guy just DM'd us or emailed us a dream that he had and he says and I quote boys had a wild dream last night where I hit a ball into the woods at Augusta I don't know why his guy was he was playing at August in his dream while looking for the ball a trail appeared and I followed it to a private

dock driving range where Tiger was wearing Sunday red and absolutely striping it no idea what this dream means but in my mind and perhaps only there Tiger is back. Let me tell you something. I'm not a religious guy. I don't believe in ghosts. I don't believe in any of that shit. I believe in this guy's dreams. He had to be so chagged up when he woke up. Like, let's go, Tiger. Like, I am so, I need just any glimmer of hope from Tiger, because right now there is none. I'm taking some random guy's dream, and now I just think Tiger's going to be back at the Masters and everything's going to be fine. Unbelievable dream to have, it's got everything. He's at Augusta, he's got Tiger, Tiger's in the red. He's on a

Doc, like presumably on a lake, which lakes are great. Love lakes. So this is really just an A-plus dream. Love this guy's dream all around. I have kind of a reoccurring dream going on where I'm playing Augusta and I'm in the masters, but I like, I can't pull the club back. I'm like Kevin Nott, the players a couple years ago. Yeah.

And I like can't hit the ball. And they're like, every time I get to go hit it like falls off the tee. Oh, no. And I'm like, oh, I'm sorry, everyone. And I just can't hit the ball. I can't fucking swing. That sounds like. absolute hell.

It sucks. I wake up, like, nervous. I can't believe I blew my shot of the Masters. It's like totally devastating. This is a reoccurring dream? Reoccurring dream. We've probably had it five, six times in my life in the last couple years.

And now that you talked about it today, you're going to have it. Definitely having a good night. It's coming up soon. Masters is coming up soon too. We're going to dominate that, by the way. All right. Speaking of the Masters, Phil Mickelson's not a bad Masters player. Trent and I, we actually have to hit the restroom.

So we're going to run out of the room. We're leaving the studio. We got a couple guys that are going to substitute in for us. here is Phil Mickelson and David Faradie for a few minutes. So I've had some great partners over the years, and one of my favorite people that I've played with is David Tom's, and we've had a lot of fun together. We played together at the Belfrey in 2002.

We were partners, and we were playing alternate shot together. Very narrow in the driving area here. We're two up with three holes to go, and we get to this par four, the 16th of goal, and I've got to hit the drive, and it's a 14-yard-wide fairway. And that's perfect. I hit the most majestic three wood for me in the fairway.

Okay, and he's got a nine iron in. And this hole has kind of a boomerang green that wraps from right to left around this bunker. And the green has a tear in it to the right of the bunker. So you can hit it at the pin or 50 feet right of the pin. And it will hit the green and funnel right down by the hole. And David Tom is one of the best iron players in the game. He's got a nine iron. There's no way this shot's going to be outside of 12.

shot's going to be outside of 12 or 15 feet. He's sitting around it with black down the bunker. And he fat blocks it into the lip of the bunker. It is so uncharacteristic, but it's in the lip of the bunker. And now I have to hit this shot left-handed. I have to aim 60 feet to the right of the hole. I take out a nine iron to open the face, hit it, and it shoots out sideways, catches the slope, and rolls down four feet in the cup.

So I'm pretty proud of myself. I walk off to the side of the green. I just hit two of the best shots I've ever hit the three wood in the faraway, which let's not underestimate how good that is for me. And then the nine iron out of this bunker is four feet. I'm standing over their bones and David calls me over for the reed. He says, hey Phil, come here. Come here, take a little.

So I stand behind him and he looks, he kind of shouts over his shoulder. What do you think? So what do I think? I said, don't this one up too. walked off of the green. All right. That was a little David Farity and Phil Mickelson. Phenomenal Phil's story. Just so everybody knows, Farity, which is one of my favorite shows.

We love that guy. We've got to get him on at some point. Just a little nod out there. Don't be afraid to get David Farity on our show. Seventh season returning of Farity on Golf Channel. New season actually kicks off on Monday, March 6th. It's a 9 p.m. Eastern Time with Phil. Phil, obviously, is a Phil.

He's a big talker. So he had a ton of story. They had to cut it up two episodes. So everybody, make sure you go check that out. It's March 6th and March 13th. Faradie also has Patrick Reed, who's American Hero. Captain America. Captain America.

We love Patrick Reed and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Matthew McConaughey. Oh, okay. Little wrench in there. Love Maddie McConaughey. Yes, sir. So another great season of Farity. And, yeah, I mean, that's a classic Phil story. I think, and this is why he's a great ferity guest, Phil could just rip stories all day long like that.

He's got to have a million of those. He's got a million stories. I love the fact that Tom's is like, hey, you know, Phil, like, what's the read over here? You think Phil's just like, dude, like, make the fucking putt. Just make it. I've been making so many great shots. You've got to make one. I like that.

We've all been there, too. We were like, dude, like, you're overthinking it. Just put the ball in the hole. Yeah, it wasn't a very long putt either. There's like four feet or something. He's like, oh, what do you think the expert read is here? like, dude, just put the ball in the hole. I like that.

Sneaky move by Phil to wear a leather jacket in this interview. Everyone, make sure you go out, and if you haven't seen it yet, they've been running all kinds of promos during the golf coverage and all that, Google it, Twitter it, whatever the hell you got to do. Find the picture of Phil in his leather jacket with his interview with Farity. You know he thinks he looks sweet, too. I can't get a read on Phil, and I think that's what he likes. He likes, oh, am I the family guy?

Nope, boom, I got a leather jacket, I'm a badass. Like, do you think he came to the interview on a lot? interview on a Harley. Definitely. I love that. I'm surprised he didn't like park it right in Faradies Levering. I mean, he looked ridiculous in a leather jacket, but the fact that he thinks he looks sweet makes me kind of think he looks sweet. Totally agree. All right. Moving on, we talked a little bit about Pat Perez earlier. He's been in the news a lot for different things. Two weeks ago, he was in the news for he hit two people in the gallery just in the face with T-shots, didn't yell four once. Yeah, people were upset about that. I, we made

put the video up on 4 play, especially the first one. The first one, legit, knocked a dude pretty much unconscious, and he didn't yell 4. Second one hit somebody in the back. It didn't yell 4 again. That rubs people the wrong way. So we had a guy email in, and he was like, look, boys, I actually happened to be out with my buddies, and we had a P.P. We had a little Pat Perez. He said, they're out.

They hit, I think they're on a part 5, and they're, you know, like 220 out. Group in front of them has been slow as shit all day. So they ripped three woods at the green, thinking they can't get there, whatever. Guy stripes it, lands one on the green. Didn't yell for. Like not a word out of these guys. They're just like, yeah, yeah, hit one up there. Should be fine.

Lands in the green. Then I go ship. So the question is, what do you do when you drive up to the green and you've just hit into the group in front of you? And it's super awkward because you didn't yell for or nothing. You think you do. We talked a little bit about this earlier, actually, before we came on. I think you just throw it into low gear.

Oh, didn't even know I could hit it that far. I really? You know, I ate my weedies this morning. You say stupid shit like that to hopefully, like, decompress everybody. But I think that's really all you can do. That's the classic old man joke. Like, oh, I haven't hit one that good in years. You know what I mean?

You, like, hit him with that classic old man joke and just hope that they're cool about it. But, yeah, you also get, I like those buddies who they'll hit one. And, like, they blatantly, like, yank it right out a group of people. And they'll be like, oh, somebody should yell for. four. And I'm like, if you think somebody should yell four, you should do it. Yell fucking four, dude. Yeah. So you get a lot of weird little predicaments out there on the golf course. I do think that when you hit one up to people, you just got to come up with a classic old man joke on the course, get yourself out of it. Yeah, because you can't like be a dick about it because

you're the dick in that situation. Yeah. You can't be like, oh, you guys are playing slow all day. It's on you. Then it's all day because you're going to see these people again. You got to lighten the mood with like a Wheaties joke. Yeah. The other thing that sucks, is you've been waiting on them all day. You hate them, like, just by default. You always hate the people that are in front of you. I hate everyone else, like, on a golf course. Yeah, you always.

You always, like, oh, those fucking idiots. Like, do you're slow as shit. Everyone feels the same way about everyone else. Yep. It's like the crosswalk and the person driving the car. Those two people always hate each other. Like, honking at each other, beating on each other's fucking hood. Like, these people just hate each other.

Same deal on the golf course. So it's kind of tough to pull up and, like, put your tail between your legs and be like, oh, I'm so sorry when you're obviously not sorry. Oh, and you can't show weakness. No. show weakness you go with a dad joke good weedy's dad joke um all right moving on gambling on the golf course and just gambling in general a couple things we want to go with obviously we're going to get to our anonymous dm source who's at capfather on twitter uh with his red hot picks but first people have

been asking us you know do you guys have any crazy gambling stories in the golf course i do my buddies that are listening to this right now are going to laugh because i've told this story 250 times probably me and producer robber excited about this you tease you did before we started recording and it sounds like a doozy. So I lost, I believe it was somewhere in like the $1,450 range on one golf hole. And I don't, we don't gamble for that much. But this is what happens. So we're playing a game called Wolf.

There's a lot of different ways to play Wolf. But what happens is you get three people, whenever you get three people on the course, obviously you can't play like two on two. You've got to come up with something different. Wolf is a different version of that. What happens is you tee off, each guy tees off last on a hole. you have designated holes like I'll go

if I'm the first guy up I'll go last in the first hole the fourth hole you should keep going everybody rotates in and what happens is the guy that goes last gets to choose between the first two guys as one of his partners

or he can go alone so it's either it's always two on one on every single hole and each hole is worth what you call like a dot so if you win

if you win a hole by yourself you win twice as many dots and it just goes and goes and you can make the holes worth I'm sorry you can make the dots worth whatever the hell you want to make it worth

So we happen to be playing that day because we're idiots and somebody threw it out in the first tee, the first tee, that the dots were worth $2 and I think 13 cents. Okay. So we're like, okay, whatever we gives you shit, we'll do the math at the end. Anyway, there's also a rule in the game that whenever you get to the last two holes, whoever's in the last place gets to wager up to half of the difference between their standing and the first place guy. Okay. To boil all that down. I'm up like 80-something dots on the last place guy and playing really, really well. 80 dots against two different guys times $2.

Them up like $300 some odd dollars. 17th hole, the guy wagers as much as you can. There's no blood in the hole. Like we tie the hole. So we get to 18th hole. And there's also rules that if you burty, the hole doubles in value. Okay. And if you eagle, it multiplies by eight in value.

Okay. Okay. So the guy obviously wagers the max when we can. It's like 40-something dots, which is, you know, 80-something. something dollars because it's two dollars whatever um and he it's a long par five into the wind uh granite lynx is the ninth hole on the milton side for those you that are listening playing from the tip so it's long uphill hole yanks one right where there's like a huge quarry over there my buddy and it's two against one i'm by myself yeah against these other two motherfuckers guy yanks it right there's

these huge stone slabs that like are between the quarry and the golf hole and they like never stop anything. The ball like goes in there. He hits like a lefty, so he hits like a low hook to the right. Hits one of the stone slabs and like stays in play, but it's in the rough. So he's got like 2.30 or something uphill. I'm playing the hole perfectly, you know, nice drive right down the middle. I lay up, but like a seven and I got, uh, I had a shitty layup actually. I'm in like a green side bunker, but it's like a 70, 80 yard bunker, like away from the whole tricky little bunker. Anyways, guy fucking ross a three wood to like 15, 20 feet. So, so. is his buddy. So they've both got like 20, between 15 to 20 feet for Eagle. And I'm like,

oh shit. So I hit a heroic bunker shot in between or closer than they are. So I've got like, I don't know, 10 feet for Bertie. They've both got 20 feet for Eagle. First guy hits a great put down there like lips out. My other buddy Tim steps up. Cans it. No. So I legitimately we're like, they're like hobbling around the green. They're doing the Eagle side. Would you flap your fucking wings? Yeah. And we're shit-faced drunk. Of course.

Or three fucking idiots playing golf on like a Saturday. He's running around the green. Eagle, eagle, eagle! Going absolutely nuts. I'm like, oh, man, I don't think that was good for me. But I didn't really realize it. Go in the clubhouse. I went from up like $3, $400 to down.

I believe I lost like $1,200 total. Unbelievable. Or something in one fucking hole. And everyone's like, why are you guys gambling so much money? I'm like, we're gambling $2. Yeah. It was literally $2. $2 a hole.

And I had a for Bernie for fuck save. Like I literally easily could have made Bertie, which is like a pretty good goddamn score. Yeah. For someone that's not that sweet at golf. So yeah, I lost. I was between $14 and $1,500 in like

10 minutes. What were you like the rest of the night? I was the most miserable motherfucker to hang out with. Check your fucking timestamps, Rigsie? Of all time. I was so pissed off at everyone. And we were, like I said, we were drinking heavily. Oh, yeah.

So check your fucking timestance, vodka laced. Rigsy is not a good. guy. We went to TGI Fridays, I believe, that night. I got, like, kicked out. On the WGC. Mexico preview. We've got a brand new tourney. They moved it from Durow to Mexico. Trump stuff, right? Yeah, kind of Trump, but I think it was, like, not necessarily political, but it was like, you know, Trump did on the course and all that.

Okay. Anyways, they're going to Mexico. I think the players are actually pretty excited about it. We don't know shit about it. They're not going to pretend like we do. brand new course I think Capfather or boy said they've only hosted like one tournament there ever Okay

Anyway Everybody's been waiting for it This is the big thing We catfather is on a fucking heater A little known fact too So Capfather predicted of course For those was Ricky was 16 to 1 this last weekend

To win Capfather picked him He won DJ was I believe 8 or 9 to 1 the week before Capfather picked him he won Those were the two weeks that I went public with it

The week before that, Capfather was DM in me and I just wasn't responding to his ass. He picks beef at Pebble. I went back and researched it. He picks beef. So he's three in a row. It's incredible. For gamblers, there's not a hotter ticket than Catfather on the Foreplay podcast. So it's anonymous DMer at Capfather on Twitter.

Everyone's been waiting for it. This is what he says. We text now, by the way. We're text buddies. He's a, I'm not going to get into what he does. He says, okay. I've been racking my picks all week, but I think I've come down to a decision. I don't like having more than two guys.

I've got it down to four, but we're going to cut it down to two. He says it's between DJ and Spieth for him, and then also he likes Thomas or Woodland. So he's trying to pick one from those two pairs. Okay. He says, Spieth's short game basically is where it's going to come down because he's been studying layouts. He's been studying course layouts. He tweeted it out this morning.

You tweeted the picture or you quote tweeted his. He's just all in on these courts. He's been sending me pictures since last night. He's been studying course layouts. A lot of dogleg rights, so he likes guys that fade the ball. He really likes DJ and Spieth. However, he said he emailed a bunch of the course members at this course in Mexico. Emailed the members.

Lunatic. Members said that the greens are way faster than people were used to on tour or that they're expecting. So it comes down to short game. So he really loves Spieth at 9. and he also said you're absolutely insane if you don't take Gary Woodland who's coming in at 50 to one. Oh, there we go. Gary Woodland has been on Fuego.

He has been in Fuego. So, if you like to win money, the Capfather are anonymous source on DMs on Twitter, he likes Spieth 9 to 1. He likes Gary Woodland, 50 to 1. I've already bet basically my life on both of them. Yeah, and I'm not a gambler. I'm really not. So, but even I need to get it on this action. I can't sit out the catfather any longer.

It doesn't make any sense. I feel bad for people that have been. I'm mad at myself because I haven't been betting enough. Right. I'm still up a healthy amount. I bought myself new golf shoes yesterday. Mostly because everyone's shooting on my last pair that I bought. I actually bought the exact same pair that there's different colors.

That's fine. Thank you. So that's interesting. But those are, that's the cat father's picks. What do you think, Trent? I think people should be having to pay us for these picks. That's what you need to, like, set up that service. But if he's right, I mean, like you said, this is the first time they're doing this WGC here.

I don't have much experience with it, haven't studied it. Catfather has. Can't hate going with Spief. Email the members. Check the course layouts. He's got us pick. It's Spieth. It's Woodland.

When those guys both win, I mean, we're going to win a ton of money. So much money. All right, folks. I believe that's it for this week. Remember, go leave a review. Win yourself a Green Jacket. We are for Play on iTunes, Podcast 1. Also, email us any stuff you've got for From the Gets.
