Hey, 4Play listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. We are back. It's quarantine, I believe, episode four. This is going to be a very unique show, a two-part show. So we've done this one time before, and it didn't go particularly in my favor. It was when I was in Bermuda. The other guys were not. We did one part of the show where they sort of, of weighed in, did a few from the galleries, made a few comments about how they thought I might be playing out in Bermuda, which that week, if you recall, was not particularly well. We're doing that again. So I was pretty much on the road all day today.

I went to the White House. I drove about five and a half, six hours from Pinehurst to D.C. I conducted an interview with Mark Short, who is the chief of staff. to Vice President Mike Pence. I'll tell that story and then drove about six hours back. So I've been on the road all day rather than kind of make everybody wait

until midnight or so to do the show with me. I said, hey, I have a lot to talk about in terms of my trip to the White House, my experience. I met Vice President Mike Pence in the hallway. I sat down for about 30 minutes with his chief of staff. Mark Short, we talked a lot about the coronavirus,

about how the government's handling it, what we should do as, people as young people as human beings, whoever you are, wherever you are. So anyways, I'm going to tell that story. And then I got a lot to talk about,

about Pinehurst. I've been here for over a week now. So just some things I wanted to get off my chest. I wanted to sort of reflect upon and share with all of the listeners. So I'm going to do that for a few minutes here to begin the show. And then Frankie, Trent,

Lurch, they did a bunch of from the galleries, a few headlines, and are going to deliver for you the second half of the show. So that's what we've got. A couple plugs here, our store. You got to get into the store. We got hoodies.

We got the white slash gray hoodie. Barstool Golf. We got now a Navy option. I've been wearing them a bunch of my videos. People go nuts. Where do I get that? Where do I get that? Answer.

Store. Dot barstoresports.com. Follow links for golf for foreplay. It's right up there at the top. you're going to like it, you're going to love it, you're going to want some more of it, which is good because there's more stuff in the store than you can imagine.

We got quartersips. We got golf apparel, head covers, tea bags, Seamus Golf stuff. They have actually changed from making golf stuff currently to making medical supplies. They make masks and stuff. So shout out to Seamus Golf. Before they did that,

they created some golf accessories that we have in our store. So store. Dot bargealsports.com, go check that out. And then our YouTube page, we're going to continue to plug that. But it's a great time to basically scour it, to binge watch through it. We've got dozens and dozens of videos up there, probably hundreds at this point. Long form videos, the Kisner video we posted is an hour and a half. Kevin Chappell videos like an hour and 18 minutes, I think.

We got Beth Page Black, or we played every hole. We've got Chambers Bay, or we played every hole and filmed almost all the shots. We've got some shorter form stuff. You want to binge through those. The rigs verse ones, I do a bunch of those myself with Frankie, with Trent, with Lurch, with other random guests. Brando Chambley's done one before with us. Darren Clark's done one before with us.

So you can kind of cruise through those and take a bunch of looks at really cool golf courses, really around the world. We've been everywhere from, you know, West Coast United States, east coast, United States, south, up in Canada, Cabot. We've been to Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, all kinds of spots, the Bahamas. So again, it's a good time. Liberty National. We did 18 holes of Liberty National, which that's one of the coolest videos we've ever done.

It was just a perfect Monday morning in the fall. I think it was early October. We had the whole course to ourselves and filmed every shot. So there's a lot of good stuff in there. Go to our YouTube page. Go to YouTube.com. It's a video service. provider, which is user-driven.

So if you're not familiar with YouTube, that's pretty much what it is. People upload their own videos like us. You watch them. You go, ooh, ah, you continue to watch. You spend years on YouTube. You kind of go down this hole, and boom, you have famous YouTubers, and it's kind of entered and created this whole world. We're now a part of that world.

So go check it out. All right. Like I said, I'm going to tell a couple stories here for a few minutes. I'm going to talk about the White House trip. I'm going to talk about Pinehurst, and then you're going to hear from the other guys. So today, I got up about 5 a.m. And I drove from Pinehurst, North Carolina, which is about five hours and 15 minutes. But you make a stop, you get gas here and there.

It comes out to around six hours each way. So I got up around five, left around six, got to the White House around noon today. And what happened was a week or so ago, anybody who's kind of a bigger barstool fan will know that, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has kind of become the infectious disease expert. He is the expert, but he's really become kind of significantly more famous because of it, because of everything that's going on with the coronavirus. He was on part of my take last week, I think last Wednesday's episode, is I believe, when he was on.

And PFT and Big Cat did a phenomenal job asking him, questions, interviewing him about kind of concerns, thoughts, issues, whatever, that the average person, like us, like you at home, like them, wanted to know about the coronavirus. And they got pretty into it about the incubation period, the immunity, the urban myths about the virus, does warm weather going to kill it? Are you immune after you've had it? Can you shed it? Is that how it? So they got into that kind of stuff, which was incredible. It was an incredible kind of service.

that they did by providing that to people and they had some fun with them as well and it just was really, really well done. Well, you know, we stayed in touch with the White House from about you who doesn't know. I used to cover politics at Barstool. That's how I got in. That was kind of how I got my foot in the door.

I said to Dave Portnoy, who was our boss in early 2016, hey, there's this ocean of content that you guys don't cover because Barstool, for the most part, had kind of a, yeah, we don't really touch politics policy so that they wouldn't alienate a bunch of people. And if you're just trying to be funny and get laughs, why would you delve into politics?

Well, I came in and kind of said, hey, I got this crazy idea or I can do it in a way where we kind of poke fun at everybody. He agreed, I did it, and then eventually evolved into more golf stuff. Well, got some friends in the White House. You know, there's Barstool fans, friends of Barstool everywhere,

and they're trying to reach our audience. I mean, you'd be crazy not to. So, long story short, you know, we've been in touch. said, hey, would you like to, since you're in North Carolina, if you can snag your car, would you like to drive, you know, and come over to the White House, and we could do it in the Eisenhower, the executive Eisenhower building,

which is right next door to the West Wing, and it kind of overlooks the White House, the West Wing of the White House. You can do your interview in that room with Mark Short. He is the chief of staff to Vice President Mike Pence. Mike Pence is currently, regardless of your politics, he is currently the chair of the coronavirus task force. So there's obviously a lot there.

The guy who's running his desk who makes sure, you know, everything that goes through Mike Pence pretty much goes through Mark Short first. I guess to sit down and chat with this guy. I said yes, of course, drove over there. We were there for about three hours or so. Did the interview for about a half hour, you know, maybe 30 or 45 minutes of prep and kind of how you doings. And then afterwards we got a tour of the West Wing.

Now, the interview went great. You know, it's a handful of kind of his staff are in the room. Everybody's well separated. Social distancing, shout out. And you're overlooking the West Wing. You have these windows and this. It's kind of the oldness, the vintage, the traditionalist kind of nature of the building, the wood. It just kind of smells old and feels old, not in a bad way, but just kind of in an intimidating way.

almost in like a okay this is serious some serious stuff's gone on in here you know this this if these walls of these window frames could talk they've you know some some vibrations some voices some wavelengths

have gone into these things that are intense that are serious that have had very real implications on the world so just kind of conducting an interview like I'm re who the hell am I am conducting a fucking interview with these people watching me with a camera crew and it's going to go out to the world and all that. So it was it was nerve-wracking, but it was also, you know, they were incredibly friendly.

They were pumped that we came. They are eager to kind of reach our audience, you guys, all of you out there. And ultimately, you know, excited that we came and agreed to do it. And it went really well. We had a couple laughs. But obviously, the nature of the content, pretty damn serious. So went really well about 30 minutes. or so we spoke.

And then afterwards, Andrew Giuliani, who's a big golf guy, who was rocking a master's tie, so he had the whole get-up going. For those of you who were big break fans, he was on the big break, and, you know,

he works for the president now. He works in the executive branch, and he's been kind of helping me. He set the whole thing up. He gave us a nice tour of the West Wing, showed us all around. We saw the Roosevelt room, we saw the cabinet room,

the Rose Garden, took a couple of photos out in the Rose Garden. And then eventually we kind of swung back around to Mark Short's office that is in the actual West Wing. And as we were standing just outside, I kind of get the little elbow, a little nod that like, oh, yeah, the VP's in there, you know, the vice fucking president of the United States of America is, you know, right over there. And sure enough, we're kind of standing here.

West Wing is very claustrophobic, by the way. It's just small. It's like they didn't build a big enough building for the amount of rooms and hallways they were going to need. And they undershot it by like 50%. But they decided we're just going to build the number of fucking hallways and rooms that we are planning on building, even though the building is only half the size. And that's the west wing. So it's very tight. Like the whole thing is tight.

And you're all kind of shoulder to shoulder. Everybody's more important than you are. So you're just standing there waving like, ah, how are you? but you're not allowed to shake hands. Everybody's, like, nodding at each other. Like, it's a totally different fucking culture all of a sudden. The whole thing's pretty wild, but also just as what it is. The West Wing is also not as packed as it would be because most people are working from home.

So even though there's still a good amount of activity going on, it's not even close to, you know, sort of its typical capacity and all this that. Well, staying right outside the vice president's office. I'm sorry, his chief of staff, Mark Short's office. and just kind of looking at each other and what's happening here and just right around the corner comes the vice president, Mike Pence.

He's looking right at me. He's probably three feet away from me. And, you know, the folks that I'm with kind of speak up and they're like, oh, Mr. Vice President, this is, you know, Riggs from Boston, he right away, right away goes elbow up, elbow up, and we do an elbow bump.

And he goes, this is the notorious Riggs. barstool and and I could tell you know he knew in the sense that somebody had told him he should know kind of the barstool thing that was pretty much it uh but he was again regardless of your politics he was incredibly friendly uh he chatted for probably two or three minutes I landed I landed a joke that I'll tell you a joke has maybe never played harder than my joke my stupid little joke played in this fucking room yeah It's myself, a couple aides who would happen to be waiting around the same area. You know, Andrew, the vice president, and then a couple people who were staffing the vice president.

We're all in this very small room that's the size of like maybe a laundry room and a half, you know, and it's whatever, six or seven people. And we're just kind of talking real quick. It's a little small talk, a little chatter with the VP. and and he he kind of brings up you know yeah it's it's it's great that you know that you guys came and and and you know did the the chat with dr fouchy and that you came up here to do this because it's you know it's going to be really important that that your generation is um able to kind of you know take this on and um and i and i really think that you guys are are going to are going to do it you're going to you're going to you're going to kind of deliver here and i really just regurgitated a pretty

common joke that everybody's been making where I was like, well, look, we've been training and there's no generation that's ever been better than just sitting on the couch than our generation. And boy, did they fucking lose it. I mean, the vice president turns around. He's like, I thought we were going to lose him. He's like cackling his whole team. Everybody's laughing in the room once he laughs.

Everybody has to fucking laugh, right? So it just played. It couldn't have played better. You know, and you're supposed to have this. We're like the funny, cool fucking guys wherever for barstool. So it just delivered. And everybody was all, it was all laughs. It was all happy.

We're having a good time. But it was elbows. Nobody's shaking hands. It's very, very weird to meet the vice president of the United States. And you can't shake his hand. Like that is just, yeah, it's what you're supposed to look from right in the eye, give a nice firm handshake. That's what they're, I mean, they're politicians. That's legitimately what they do.

They kiss babies, shake hands and kiss babies. That's like what they fucking do. And you just take that away. So it was bizarre. to meet the vice president of the United States, look him right in the eye, be like totally physically capable of shaking his hand, but neither of you can shake your hand,

you just elbow tap each other. The whole thing is definitely a little off, but it was intimidating. It's intimidating to talk to him, as nice as he was, as friendly as he was. He was smaller than I thought. He's not a small man, but he, you know,

they do such a good job of, of kind of presenting, filming, and photographing, you know, these politicians, these men, from angles that make them all seem

like they're nine feet tall, you know, and like the most physically impressive, like, board leaders in the history of the world. And, and, you know,

he is, he's clean cut. He's, he's incredibly well-spoken. He was, he was kind of warmer and, like,

friendlier and even, funnier than I expected, but he was smaller than I expected. He just wasn't, he, he wasn't as big as you think. And I kind of came off a little lurchy, actually, one of my photos with him, which was funny to me. And I, you know, I don't know if maybe I'm subconsciously picking up some lurch qualities when it comes to taking pictures. But regardless, um, that video of kind of of my White House experience, I, I tried to document it, um, selfie video style with my iPhone as much as I could. and then we had kind of a freelance professional crew that was there that actually filmed the interview itself. But that'll all be out today.

So you guys are listening on Thursday, which I believe is March 26th. I'm talking to you at about 1 a.m. on Thursday, March 26th. I just got back from D.C. and doing all this, but I filmed it and recorded it all on the 25th. So it'll be out. If you're listening in the morning, it might not be out yet at some point today, maybe noon. maybe early afternoon, maybe late morning, whenever we get it done, it'll be out, check it out.

I'll obviously retweet it, put on my Instagram bar still, we'll put it all over. So check that out, very good information in there. Do you guys like to work out? No. No.

Well, you should. And one of the things that you can do is you can bike around. Biking around the city is so much fun. I see all these people that are buzzing around the city. They're not walking. They're not taking the subway.

They're biking. And I specifically have always wanted an electric bike for commuting. I live just too far away to walk. I live just too close to take the subway or a cab, and an electric bike would be perfect. That is why I'm here to tell you about rad power bikes. Whether you want a new way to commute or get around the city in and out of nature, even with the kids in tow, you've got to try rad power bikes.

This is what a rad power bike is. It's a cross between a traditional bike and a moped. Sounds so much fun. But it doesn't require any special license or any special driver's license like a moped would. So you can go up to 20 miles per hour without pedaling. Trent, that sounds fantastic for you. You can even do it without getting sweaty, lurch. Affordable bikes start at about 12.

When I ride a bike to work, I get to the office and I am drenched and sweat. And it is uncomfortable. I am all day. And these rad bikes are affordable. The bikes start at $1,200 and all of them are going under $1,500. Other e-bikes can be in the $3,000 range. You see these guys walking around there in their suits. They got their bags.

They're on their way to Wall Street. They're in their little power bike. They're probably paying $3,000, $4,000, $5,000. a rad power bike is at max 1500. You got to get it. 20 miles an hour? I mean, that thing is fantastic. Great for commuting.

Great for getting out on the trail. Hall and groceries, we all need right now you want to get that groceries or in and out. You don't have time to pedal. Trent never has time to pedal. Trent never has time to get sweaty. He needs a rad power bike.

G-O-L-F-2-6-4,000. Next thing I want to get to is just some notes that I have about Pinehurst. As most of you know, it's now pretty much going on day like 11 that I've been at Pinehurst. As of November last year, I had never been to Pinehurst. It was on my bucket list. It was number one on my bucket list. For whatever reason, it just had not come up. I hadn't been there.

I've done Bandon and talked a lot about that. I've done Cabot and talked a lot about that. I went to San Andrews by myself. 2017, Labor Day weekend. Just went by myself. We've done the Australia trip. I've done Pable, luckily enough. So a lot of different places that I had been.

Even did the Wisconsin trip last summer with Lurch and six of our other buddies. So like, I'm sure you all now are like, hey, Riggs, you're an asshole. Stop rubbing it in our face as we're all quarantined. the globe about how much cool golf you've played in for that. I do apologize. But point being that as of November of last year, so not that long ago, I'd never been to Pioneers. Didn't know really much about it outside of just what you probably know,

number two and, you know, course number two and the, how iconic it is, the major championships, Payne Stewart, beating Phil Mickelson. You know, you knew it had a bunch of golf. that it kind of had some Donald Ross. His name has mentioned a bunch, and you hear some whispers about some new stuff with the part three, but outside I didn't really know much,

but came down in November, which we filmed a bunch of stuff. We're getting very close to releasing those by the way. They're amazing, and I can't wait for folks to see them. Tobacco Road, Pioneers No. 8, Pioneers No. 4, Pioneers No. 2, The Cradle. We got videos from all of them, and they're amazing. But came down for the first time, saw it.

was blown away. It was, you know, I think I talked about at the time, but the biggest difference to me between a band and a cabot or even a sand valley, a big cedar, which I've never been to, I don't know why I mentioned it, but it just kind of falls in that. The difference between those and a Pinedhurst

that I didn't realize until I went to Pinedhurst is the history. You just can feel it. You can sense it. And it is hard to get that in America at a golf resort. You know, as cool as Bandon Dunes is,

the courses are on the ocean, there's tons of, you know, cliffside green sites and fairways and teas and the halfway houses there, look over the cliffs, and it's just stunning. Cabot, same way.

You know how much I love both those places. But they're new. You know, they're new. They're newer courses. They don't have really any history. And especially none, when you compare it, Two Piner's, which is founded 1895, the very, very early 1900s.

So over, you know, 100 years ago, a lot of the courses that are still hosting, you know, either resort guests every, every day, or members or even major championships were built over 100 years ago here. And so that just kind of, it's in the, it's in the bars, it's in the restaurants, it's in the village, It's in the coffee shops. It's everywhere that you've got kind of this golf history. And they do kind of draw parallels to St. Andrews. And, you know, Pinehurst is called the cradle of American golf.

And that's a cool tagline. But what does that really mean? And now that I've been here for whatever it's been eight, nine, ten days, I'm very much starting to realize why. And that reason is that the whole freaking village town, centers around the golf. I've noticed each evening out on the practice screen or the thistle do,

which is their eating hole putting course, which is right next to the cradle. It all sits kind of on the front lawn of Pythurst, if you will. A bunch of the same people go out there each night. They either drive their little golf cart from their parents' house if they're kind of a college kid playing college golf, who's obviously out of a season right now because school's out,

or you get some even older men who are walk over from their home where you got some resort guests if people are still kind of hanging around who are out there till freaking an hour after the sun goes down just putting you got the little putter boy statue right there you've got the clubhouse in the background with the lights that usually has people out there you know doing a bunch of nightcaps or or even finishing up kind of a dinner a nice dinner after around the golf kind of chirping you but even without any of that going on

because all the restaurants are closed now. The hotels are even closed down here. You can just very much tell being here that it's just part of the community. It's not a separate deal. It's not like you have to travel to get to the village or the town or there's no separation really

from the golf to the rest of the community. is just like one with the whole thing. And even, you know, I've been able to play three or four courses now that I hadn't played here before, which are number one. I got to play number three. I got to play number five. And I've still got to play six, seven, and nine. I've played number eight before.

It's phenomenal. But there's still, you know, three courses to play that I've never played before. And I'm incredibly excited to play. That is not even considering, you know, mid pines, which is, I guess, five minutes away. that I've never played Dormey Club, which is 10 minutes away, which we played in February under wintry conditions that I would like to get out to again as well. So the staggering amount of golf here combined with just the whole town, the whole village, and I even call it a town.

I have a nice little sign when you pull it and says, I believe, village of Pinehurst. And you realize that it ain't town, any city. It's a village. And that village is based around golf. So much so. I love it so much so that I've actually spent the last few days on Zillow just looking at houses and Pyrst. I just kind of a thought exercise.

It's a fun. It's a nice little fantasy, a little more affordable than you might have thought. Some nice homes on a couple different courses or you could grab a little golf car. You could walk your ass. You could cart your ass right over to the little putting green, right over to the driving range. Or even right over the five-hole loop that I've found, which I'm not sure everybody or really anybody gets to experience this, but I did one evening when it was about 71 degrees, we'll call it.

I hit a couple balls until, you know, 5.45, 6 o'clock at night. And then I walked for anybody who's been to Piner's, you know, big old driving range. It's in a, it's in a, you know, kind of a half moon almost type shape. Big old driving range. You got a ton of hitting base. if you walk to the, if you're looking at the range, you walk out to the right of it. You go right by number 4T, first T on the number four course. You go left there.

There's a little cart path. Next thing, you know, boom, you're on the 14T at Pioneer's number two. And I talked to a few folks here that said, that's what you should do. You should take a nice little peaceful five-hole loop to finish out your day. And I walked out there and I played 14, 15, 15, 16, 7. 18 as a sum was setting on Pioneers number two all by my lonesome just myself my thoughts my um aesthetically displeasing golf swing my figure eight decelerating putting stroke that somehow works slightly higher than the tour average if you go watch all the videos that i've put out and i just had myself really a spiritual kind of a very reflective walk playing five holds at Pioneers number two And I get asked a ton now, how do you rank the courses? And, you know, number four, I would say, is still number one for me.

I think Pioneer is number four. Gilhance, what he did with it is amazing. It's such a perfect combination of kind of Pinehurst greens. So they're tricky. They're going to be difficult. You've got to really focus on them in order to play it well. So the greens are Pinehurst greens. They've got that Pinehursty feel to them.

play to them. But it's not as hard as number two. And it's, I think, got holes that are significantly more distinguishable. I think Pioneer's number two at its best is better than Pioneer's number four at its best. And I mean that like hole by hole. I think some of the best holes on Pioneers number two are better than any other holes on property.

There's a stretch where you go, the fourth and fifth hole. You kind of go out and you come back. That is just stunning. 13 and 14. You stand on the 13th green and you kind of look back. 13th greens perched up and elevated and the 14 T's right next to you, which is a classic Donald Ross characteristic, which I Instagramed about the other day.

But phenomenal trait about Pioneers number two is that all the greens, you finish up, you put out, and then you basically could like touch the T-box with your putter. I mean, from the green. I mean, they're that close, which is a, Again, it's old school. It's routing genius. And so 13 green is elevated.

You look behind you. It's got a couple like small, you know, little trees that are in this wispy, sandy area that kind of slices between 13 and 14 Fairway. And it's just the way the sun hits it, it's just a gorgeous part of the golf course. The 16th hole, which is par five, you kind of tee off over water. And you kind of, on the approach, you go down and there's all kinds of bunkers. and right trees. You can see to your left this beautiful vantage point looking right up the gut of 18 and kind of what you're about to face. Then you've got 17, which is the iconic par 3.

Payne Stewart Phil Nicholson both hit really tight shots there. Tiger Woods missed a massive par putt there in 99 when Payne Stewart won. Payne makes his birdie Phil misses. So you walk onto that tee, which again is five feet away from the from the 16th green so you've got some parts of pioneers number two in my opinion that are the best parts of pioneers golf wise by far but i think overall um for the for the amateur golfer for the average golfer the weekend golfer i think playing pioneers number four is uh it's just about as good of a golf experience as you can get it's gorgeous you've got an awesome pond that a couple holes wrap around. You can see that pond from six, seven, eight holes, maybe even more.

There's a part that I noticed last time I was playing on, I think the eighth green where you can see like four, maybe even five different flag sticks through the trees at the same point. And so it's just kind of got this open feel. to it. The second hole is just a very vivid par five that you'll remember where the T-shot's

kind of downhill and then it's very reachable so if you do hit the fairway you're going to have an iron into this part five and then you kind of walk up and you realize that it's significantly more treacherous around the green than you knew from back there and you look out to your left and you can see the pond, the aforementioned

pond. It's got a very short I think it's the fourth hole. That's a very short little part three with a that slopes severely left to right so it's a very playable hole so it's just got um it's just got some awesome very distinguishable holes so for me it's probably number four is number one and number two is probably number one b so might be one a one b are course number four course number two at pinehurst uh i think i think course number eight is probably next for me those are the three that get the most resort play and there's a reason why and that's because they're the three best.

I thought number one blew me away. If you can play number one, highly recommend it. The first handful of holes, you got the ponies kind of all down the right-hand side. So that's a unique characteristic. It's got great, great Donna Ross Greens. And then number three was super fun. That was the one that was 5100 yards and I couldn't break 80. Shout out to me.

Greens were very tricky there. They beat the hell out of me. even though it's a short course. And then number five is probably the only core. The first course I played a Pioneerst that I wasn't really, like, blown away by. There's a lot of houses that didn't really stick out in terms of distinguishability to me very much. You know, maybe it just, maybe it was me, maybe it was the day,

maybe just how I was feeling. Who knows? I'm sure I'll play it again at some point. But that's kind of my take in terms of playing Pioneerst thus far. And I think it's a good sign about this. the place that I'm at when I'm legitimately looking around. So that's where I'm at. Those are my couple things that I wanted to discuss.

I still have at least three more courses to play, probably more. And hopefully playing well. That's really the goal. I don't know why I said ghee, the goal. Sir Nick Fowledo posted a video giving me putting tips. So I'm going to have to go out and try to replicate those and see if I can get better at punting. That would be nice.

but Frankie, Trent, Lurch are up next. We'll be back on Tuesday for what I guess will be, what, quarantine episode five. So check out of that video, like I said, with Mark Short, who is the chief of staff to the vice president of the United States of America. Listen to these guys. And we'll be back next week, hit it hard.

All right, that was Riggs. We are now going to do a bunch of From the Galleries. You got me, you got Lurch, you got Frankie. How we doing, fellas? We are, sorry about that, lurch. We are living. I think we're all surviving, right? We're surviving day by day, one day at a time.

That's the way I'm taking it. Day by day, they're all the same. We are in some weirdly lit rooms here tonight. Well, so we were supposed to do the podcast at 2 to 4th. We do it every time, a little peek into the curtain of the 4Play pod. We do it from 2 to 4 every Monday and Wednesday. You guys listening to it hear it on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It's tough for you.

Yep. For a second right there, I thought I had to regulate it back in. So, oh. I froze you up. We were usually report two to four. Yeah, exactly. But now we can't because of X, Y, and Z. Give the details.

Well, so Riggs just texts us saying, I got to go to D.C. I'm interviewing someone at the White House. I'm like, well, okay, that's just another day in bar stool. Like, just a ridiculous thing to say and just open up your phone, too. So he's like, I can record at 9 o'clock, 10 o'clock. where like, why don't we just let Riggs have the platform? You guys just heard it, right? Correct.

That was before that we just came on. You guys just heard Riggs go into the White House during one of the biggest pandemics in United States history, which is an unreal situation to be able to find yourself in the most important house, the most important building in the world. Dude, I just watched the most important things going on. I just watched Olympus has fallen where Gerard Butler was ducking in and out of the hallways at the White House. So now Riggs is there doing whatever he's doing. It's crazy that he was there.

Crazy. But yeah, so now us three idiots are, you know, we wanted to check up on each other. We didn't, you know, we're just trying to figure out what everyone's doing. We're going to do some from the galleries. How's everyone surviving the last couple days since we last spoke? Yeah, we're, I'm doing all right. I mean, every day is the same. So nothing has really changed in my life.

But, yeah, we're going to do from the gallery. First of all, from the gallery is brought to you by Scots. Is your lawn looking a little crap. Lately, weak, thin grass, does it feel like you're doing too much work when it comes to your lawn? How can you get results with doing the same amount of work you're doing now? Frankie, these problems sound a bit like your terrible chipping, boom, roasted. That was in the copy. So what is going on with this Scott's company, right?

We were like preparing for the show. We're like, oh, Scott's like we love the partner. We love the read. We love the company, everything about them. But like, man, I mean, when I saw this read, it's like, I heard you guys going through it. Like, oh, yeah, so you have to actually chirp about Frankie's chipping. and the turf underneath and how he actually skulls everything and he doesn't take up any blades of grass.

They made me, I went through an entire list of things about how bad your grass could be. And then at the end of that, they're like, oh yeah, by the way, Cherp Frankie's chipping and how terrible it is. Boom,

roasted. That seems unfair to me. But if you want to take care of your lawn, get scots, give your lawn the care it needs with less work from you. Putting down Scott's turf builder, triple action will give you thicker and healthier and greener grass. Putting down Scott's turf builder,

triple action prevents crab grass. for up to four months and kills dandelions, clover and other weeds, your own private shipping area, courtesy of Scots, turf builder, triple action. Greengrass doesn't have to stop once you leave the course. Scott's turf builder triple action gives you your own lush green paradise. And Frankie, this is probably something you should do. Builder own little private shipping area,

courtesy of Scott's turf builder triple action, which will give you your own lush green paradise. And your chipping game might improve, but probably not. Again, boom, roasted Frankie. So we're going to get into some from the galleries here. This is the laziest thanks of all time. This first one that I pulled, I had to go through the emails. This is kind of the first time that I've ever done it.

We get tons of submissions. Shout out to the people that do that. I think the email is at 4Play pod at Gmail. Give us, you know, send us some emails and we'll look into them. Do you think professional... It's got to be 4Play pod at Barstall Sports, no? Oh, yeah, I guess you're probably right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay. It's just 4Play at Barstall Sports. for play at Barstool Sports. Look at that. That's streamlined. This first one, I thought this one was topical from Steve. Do you think that professional golfers will be shaking hands after their rounds with each other,

or are they just going to give a hat tip or something when the PJ tour resumes? This is something the entire society needs to figure out because once coronavirus is over, whenever that is, are we just going to go back to shaking hands and giving high fives and hugging each other? I don't know the answer to that. I don't think you're ever going to think, that's disrespectful, if someone offers you a handshake and you give them an elbow, I don't think that they in their right mind can be like, that guy's a jerk after everything

we're going through. I mean, look where we all are right now. I don't, I don't think it's going to be socially agreed upon and I don't think that there's a right or wrong. Yeah, I agree with that. I think that we've now entered a new realm. I know I said this on last podcast, and Rick Sinks that, I think it was Riggs that was like, oh, I think eventually we're all going to get back to at some point. unless I talked about that somewhere else yesterday, but I was having a debate with some. I was here because I was on your side too. Right.

I think the world has changed. Like it's hard to put this into perspective because we've never experienced anything like this where like people are now like germaphobs and everyone's like figuring out like who has what and what we're touching. I mean, I just made deliveries today for Borrellys

and I was wearing masks and gloves. Like has the world now change in that way? I think for sure. And I think on the golf course like, I think old school people will still do it. They're going to be like, fuck it. But I think people that really are going through, like going through the thick of it, seeing the multimedia that we're seeing, like, on Twitter and Facebook and people

getting shamed for, like, walking outside without gloves on and stuff, I think that's going to change us. I think in the back of our heads, every time we shake someone's hand, we're going to make, whoa, like, that's, that's not right. I agree with you that I think there's going to be like, I was on your side and thinking that there's going to be kind of a new way of living. For sure. You know, not to say that it's forever, but, like, it is a,

thought in everybody's brain. I don't think that people are just going to like snap back and be like, hey, give me a hug. Let's take off her shirts and really enjoy this one. I think it's going to be way different. But the question, Frankie, was more to the PGA tour. What do you think when they get off the 18th, what do you think they're going to be? I think it's going to be case by case. I think it's going to be, I think when they first come back, for sure, not going to be shaking hands. No way. to be like we are the role models. This is like what we're going to do. We're professional athletes.

Let's do a couple of high fives. You're going to see a lot of awkward elbows. You're going to see Couture like walking up tiptoeing to the guy and be like, like elbows. Like they're going to be giving a ton of elbows. Maybe some like maybe some foot taps. They're high fives. Oh, you know for sure like a catty.

You know for sure a caddy and a player are going to give each other some foot taps. Like, hey. And it's going to be a whole thing and everyone's going to go crazy. And I'm going to throw up in my fucking. I actually like the elbow thing, but then you said Couture, and he's definitely going to make a mockery of it and try to be cool about it. And now I don't like it as much. The elbow thing, I think we could just do that going forward. Forget handshakes, forget high fives, forget hugs, just the elbow. The elbow thing looks cool enough that I think if we evolve there and it

won't spread any more germs, I think we go with the elbow. But you're right, Cocher's going to ruin it. But I think for PGA tour guys, too, I think the poster on handshake is already evolving from what it used to be. It used to be like a very formal take off the hat, handshake, and now it's more like you take off the hat and now they do the DAP and they'll bring the guy in and maybe like put an arm around him. It's getting a lot more personal. And like you got guys like Justin Thomas, Xander Schaughtley, like normal like Ricky Fowler and like normal like cool dudes that like don't really know like they don't want to look like that old crusty like here shake my hand type of guy. Like you see that Dap all the time now. So I think, I mean, there's no reason why I can't adapt

even further now. I mean, they haven't played, they're not playing the Masters. Like, they're not, they postpone the Masters. For that to happen, like, we're, we're not going to see handshakes. Right. We're never going to have an answer to this question, or at least not in the foreseeable future, because they've canceled golf tournaments for the next three or four months. I actually had one question. Are you, am I allowed to go for a walk? I went for a walk yesterday at like five o'clock just to get some air and spread my legs. And I really felt like I was doing something wrong. Am I not allowed to do that? You're allowed to walk. I think you're allowed to walk, but I'll tell you what you're not allowed to do. So I actually

played some golf yesterday at this place, Rivertown, down here, fantastic course, really good bones. We played with a superintendent, Dustin, who's new there and how it's like, you know, basically revitalized that course. But anyways, we played 18 hole, a lot of fun. I had to, because I'm staying at my girlfriend's place. And as you can see right now, she's pretty much banished me to outside because I'm too loud. So she puts me out here. You work fully in the dark right now. Just I can barely see you. Yes. But anyways, I'm running through the grocery store because she's like, just when you remember to grab these few items, because we don't have much, I was like, sure. So I go into the grocery store and I was like, excuse me, ma'am, she didn't hear me at first.

And I was like, excuse me, ma'am. And she was like, when she looked at me, like, why would you ever talk to anyone during what's going on right now? And then I was like, do you know where the garlic is? I've never been here before. Can you just point me in the direction of the garlic? So that was the first lady. She pretty much ignored me and just like shun me and kind of like raised her shoulder that was close to me and like kept looking down. And then I went to another lady with her daughter and asked her the same question.

And thank God bless her heart. She was like, oh, sorry, I was just caught off guard by anyone really talking to each other in here. But, you know, the garlic's right over here. So I'm going to say walking's fine. Do not disrupt someone while they're shopping in the grocery store. That didn't come off well. You can tell it. It's just strange times.

When I walked down the street, people are very actively avoiding each other, trying to do social distancing, which is the right thing to do. It just when I was out there, it felt apocalyptic. And I was like, I don't want to be out here anymore. I walked a couple blocks down and just came right back. Because otherwise, I'm going to go crazy if I don't get fresh air. Yeah. Do you, do you go ahead? Sorry, yeah.

Go ahead. I was just going to say, Trent, do you notice less and less people in the city? Like, is it noticeable or is it just a shockingly little amount? You can't tell day by day. Because in the suburbs, there's people. out. I was just making deliveries. There's just, there's people just backed up at red lights and stop signs and people turn all over the place. There's definitely less people in New York City. And you can tell day by day. Yeah, I would say certainly as this week has gone on, less people.

Like I look out my window every morning just to kind of check. Like, if I look at my window at 930 in the morning on an average day before all this happened, there's a decent amount of foot traffic going by my apartment. As the days have gone by, it's less and less to the point now where there's almost nobody out there in the morning. Dude, we're living in just an apocalyptic world. Like, what, it is so bizarre where we're, like, the time we're living in right now. I mean, I don't think, like, generations, like, I was talking to my dad, like, the Spanish flu, but, like, generations have not seen anything like.

Nobody has. We've never seen this. The world's never seen this. Well, Spanish flu wiped out, like, 600,000 people, right? Is that number wrong? I don't know if that number's right, but I know it was massive. But even that's different, right? Like, this is something where, like when the Spanish flew, what was that?

Like the early 1900s? This is everybody's interconnected. It's a global thing. Everybody knows what's going on at all times. And it's scaring people like crazy to the point where we are out just now. You have to be in your apartment or you're screw. And it's, you know, it's crazy too. We live in such a time where everyone is in these group chats and everyone has an opinion.

Like back in the day, like, if you had an opinion, you had to like legitimately just talk to your family about it. And now, like, it drives me nuts, especially with, like, politics. Like, I don't like to get into politics at all. I know we don't like to do that at Barstle for sure. And, like, I just, like, I can't take it anymore with these group chats that I'm in with my buddies. Like, everyone thinks they have the right answer on what the right decision was with, like, shutting down the country.

And, like, like, my argument's been like, like, like, everyone's like, how do we have a president that didn't, like, make the right decisions or, like, was too late. And, like, now look at us. We're all stuck inside. It's like, I just, like, try to use to. common sense. Like imagine having to go through this, no matter what side you're on politically, to like have to make a decision at a time like this. This is like, like, it started in China and all of a sudden it's like, you're supposed to just shut the country down when it like, and be

precautionary. Like, yeah, I think you have to be reactionary. You're not going to tell people like my dad and like the restaurant like, hey, you guys need to shut down in early February because this thing might come over here and we need to shut down the borders. It's like, it's such a hard decision. So it's like obviously this shit's going to hit the fan because this thing is so freaking contagious man like that one guy that was going viral on twitter he had like awesome english accent anytime a professor or doctor talks an english accent that guy might as well just be god reincarnated telling us what is happening because he's like all right so we got the flu right and and the flu is going to talk to someone and you talk to someone and maybe you you infect 1.6

1.4 people and that person infects another person and at the end of the day your flu only infected 14 people and then he's describing how the coronavirus and i could have these numbers wrong, but he's like, the coronavirus, the coronavirus is, oh, fuck, I lost it. No, dude, no, in the same, because I saw that video too. He's like, you infect three people and then that person affects three people. And then you infect, could infect, like 50,000 people. Is that the right word, number? I think it was 59,000 people. 59,000 people comparable to the flu, which was like 14 or 16 people in the same vicinity, same touching same amount of interactions.

Like that is something that like, I understand that like you, like you can't see a virus, but you can see the numbers. Like you know that it's spiking in certain places. You know that people are taking planes and cruises and it's going to get over here. But like you, you just,

I think you had to see how bad it was going to be before you made these reactions. Like, think about at Barstool, like we were still going to work. Everyone's like, no, it's not that bad. Like you have to see like, oh no,

like KFC's coughing now. Like it's here. Like it's here now. Think about how crazy it was when they were like, this was like a week and a half ago or two weeks ago. And they said, all right, now we're going to have to shut everything down. You can't leave your apartment. And in our heads, like, that's crazy. Now imagine two months ago being like, all right, we're going to shut everything down with the numbers.

Like you're saying, haven't been born out yet. It's just the whole thing. It's a mess. Maybe we were late. Maybe we weren't. Maybe we're not testing enough. This is kind of new to everybody. And we're probably fucking up along the way.

And the crazy thing, like, when we went to Australia, it was going on. And we just nobody was talking about it. Like, we, like, flew. close to it. Like, had I known what I know now? Like, if I knew that this was going on inside China and, like, we were just going 22 hours closer to it, I would have been like, I don't know, man, this doesn't seem like the best idea. Although the way my brain works, there's so much water in between that, like, there's no way. Yeah, but still, like, you're getting closer. When you talk about, like, a personal web of, like, this person touched three people, that person touched three people,

then like you get the multiplier effect of how many people touched how many people? Like we're just closer to those spider webs. Yeah. You know what I mean? Um, but yeah, and the only reason I bring up that like whole thing about like,

did we shut it down? It's just like this now is more confusing and so much more, it feels so much more bigger and it is so much bigger because everyone is in that like media like circle. We all are like a, we're all a politician. We're all a news anchor. We're all like someone that's like we're the execution.

and the judge were everything in these little group chats and we're all like, ah, like, when are we going to get back to work? It's like, let's just like be able to leave the house. Let's all just get through this. Like, whatever happens happens, like, let's all just listen to the people in charge. I just want to like, I don't want to be in my room anymore. I smell like a locker room like. Like, it's crazy.

Like, this row, I'm showering, but like, that robs. I mean, this robe is disgusting. Yeah. All right, let's, we can jump back into these questions here. We got, I mean, we went off the rails, but it's, it's, it's, it's what's happening right now. Like there's nothing, nothing else to talk about other than the that and these from the gallery. So we'll get back into them. Did you guys know that 75% of us are walking around everyday life chronically dehydrated?

No. I did not know that. Is that right? I don't believe that. I mean, we are suffering needlessly from frequent headaches, energy slumps, and poor focus. I mean, this is directly at you two.

I am a headache. I've been headachey ever since we've been quarantining. That's because you're chronically dehydrated and it doesn't have to be this way. You want to kick that coffee habit, Trent?

John C. I like this one. He said, if you have a truth serum that will allow you a 100% candid interview, with any golfer for five minutes, who are you injecting and what are you asking them? There's only two correct answers here. I agree with that. One of them being Tiger Woods. Of course. And because, like, I mean, would love to know what was going on, you know, in those hotels.

You hear about the Tiger Woods private areas at the MGM, the whole thing. I want to know everything. And then number two is obviously Patrick Reed. I mean, just tell us what's going on. Inject that guy right in his fat neck and let's just go, baby. like just inject that serum, have it flow through his veins, just lock him up in the basement, like let it go through him and have him wake up and be like, it's hard. Like it's just like, come on, let's go.

We got five minutes. Hurry up. But you got a pen and a paper. You got one of those court people that just typed in everything they say and you're just rolling. Let's go. Let's go. Yeah, I don't even know if there's anyone close. Like it'd be interesting to like interview Jack, like would be like just ask him very directly

about kind of his world, what he feels about Tiger, the whole thing, but like really get to the core of it. And then the other guy, if you could go back in time, would be Arnold Palmer, just because I've heard that guy's got some legendary stories. But I feel like Arnold Palmer wouldn't need a truth from what I've heard about. He wouldn't need, like, to be injected with truth. Yeah, you might be right. Yeah, you might be right. We're talking about two guys who are surrounded by, you know, yeah, no, no, no. I mean, in today's world, there is two right answers. It's Tiger Woods and it's Patrick Reed. And Patrick Reed over the last month or, no, the last half a year has taken a freaking stride to get just underneath. Like, it's pretty hard decision. I want to know so

much about Patrick Reed. But I still think you could get, because I think Patrick Reed answers are more like one or two words. Like you don't need, like, you're just validating like your hypothesis of what everybody believes they know. So like if I had 10 minutes in aggregate, you know, between those two guys, I might do eight with Tiger Woods. two with Patrick Reed because if we went roundtable like here are our questions and then Riggs Trent Frankie and I go we're just spitballing questions at Patrick Reed I think we've been in and out at an interview in 45 seconds like I think sure yeah obviously yes or no or true or false yes yes like like use golf facts yes or no yes yes that's all you need and just boom boom boom boom boom boom

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. I mean, and then, like, it's one of those, whatever those games are that you play with that little, like, you know what I'm talking about where it's like salt falls from one side of the other? Wait, what? What the hell are those games where you play with like the little... Tetris. No, no, no, no. Like, it's my turn. Candyland.

Right, but there's that little sugar thing. Oh, like the, it looks like it drops out of the timer, essentially. Yes, it's a timer. What does that thing call? Oh, boy. But I just played, I played Clue the other night. And, and, and it was, so my girlfriend went. Is she in the room?

Did you just point to her? No, no, I'm, I'm seeing the board. I'm seeing the board right now. Like, my girlfriend went. It was Game of Thrones edition Clue, so it was sick. It was like, it was awesome. Yeah, the red room, all this shit. I assume you won because if you lost, you fell fifth.

So she's to my left. The host wife is, like, the people's house we were at. She was across with me. The guy, my buddy was to the right of me, and I was here. They all went, and I just said three names. I said it's Sansa in the corridors with the bow and arrow, and bang, it was right. I won on the first try. Now, I want to know how many people have played Clue.

First time playing Clue since I was, what, seven years old? First try, odds are astronomical. You have this whole piece of paper, all these Xs. I threw it in the, I said, next, next game. We boxed it up and we put it down, and we started playing rotten apples. You had to be a nightmare after that, just gloating. Yeah. I mean, brutal.

I mean, the last time he lost the game, he reported on his show was throwing a history fit 24 hours later. I forget what game that was, but it was a fact. Might have been spoons. Oh, no. No, it was that blockbuster game. Oh, that blockbuster game. Exactly.

Yeah. They were trying to get them to say the movie, Babe. Yes, yes, yes. And they said, like, Bamboino or Ruth. And she said, Babe Ruth. And they're like, no, not correct, even though the, even though the game only calls for her to say the word, babe. That's the only thing. Even though she said Ruth after, it should still count.

But whatever. Yeah, that's what I remember. The back to that, the five minutes thing for the truth serum is very important. And I think you guys nailed it. I think the answer in right now is Patrick Reed, because if you had five minutes with Tiger Woods, that's just simply not enough. You would get 2% of what you. you wanted. And with Patrick Reed, you would get at least 85% of what you wanted. Tiger, he would just be starting and you, and they'd be like, times up. Then he'd be like, I fucking

wasted that truth serum. Yeah, the problem with Tiger, you'd almost have to create like, the first minute, you'd be like, this is all I want from the answer. I want you to boil it down to 15 second answers at maximum. You know what I mean? To like get a bunch of information, I feel like, because if you went into any one story, it just be, it would be too long already. I agree. Right. Next one here. This one, this one is, this one's for Lurch and probably for me.

But Christopher says, would you play golf if every bogey or worse, you gain one pound for each extra stroke, bogey plus one pound, double boge plus two pounds? But for every birdie, you lose 10 pounds. Would you do it? No, no. What is this again? It's basically, when you're playing golf, if you make a bogey, you add. one pound onto your body. I mean, I know.

I'd be. This is the stupidest question I've ever heard. I'd be completely obese. I'd turn into Lurch in a second. You lose 10 pounds of you birdie, dude. You've been on fire. Right. But you have to understand.

Yesterday I shot a 92 with no birdies. Okay. So we're talking 18. I just gained 20 pounds yesterday. Dude, and also, if this was like an actual revolving door where every round, like, So the other day at Spanish, yeah, I had six birdies. So I dropped 60 pounds.

I look appreciated. I mean, that's no way to live. No, I'm out on this. Now, if you took the average over the year, I think no. You still can't, man. You can't be putting that much. You'll be Frank the tank or you'll be mantis. Also, it's like, yeah, I mean, you could potentially lose your golf game a year.

I mean, all the sudden, like 400 pounds. I could lose it one round. Yeah, you're sure. You can't be it. I'd be 700 pounds. Yeah, I mean, I guess if you're just taking your handicap, I think we may have lost Trent. Yeah, I think we lost Trent.

I think he just gave it. My internet's in and out, I will say. I had a question that, because that's just, you can't take that. You can't do the, you can't do the bogeys. Mathematically, though, hold on that point, like, I'm a seven handicapped. So I technically gain seven pounds around. However, if I have one birdie, if I average have one birdie around, I should lose weight. Yeah.

You know what I mean? Because mathematically you're saying, okay, you're going to be seven over par. So you're going to gain seven pounds. But if you get a birdie, you're going to lose 10. So if I can average, you know, seven tenths of a birdie around, I'm going to come out even. I just don't know. I guess I'm close to that. I don't know.

The average round of golf is fluctuating too much. You'd be a balloon to a, it's just too much. Well, if it was round around, we're talking about if it averaged out over the year. Did you imagine if you knew? It was like 1231, you couldn't play any more rounds of golf and you were like, you were like plus 180. And you were just like tomorrow,

you were going to balloon like Tim Allen and Santa Claus and just be fucking massive. Dude, I had a question. I think I saw it on the list for last show. but we didn't, I don't think we talked about it, where it was like, if you could get the option to two putt every single hole for the rest of your life, would you take that or putt the way you putt right now? I put the way I putt right now.

Hold on forever. I just have to, you know. Just you can never make a one putt, but you also can never make a three putt. That means I can never birdie a par four ever again or a part three in my life. So like that's, that's depleting it up that there's just an obvious no. however would I play better golf if I average a two foot every hole? Certainly.

Oh my God, dude. We played so we played yes. So that should answer that on average you would be a better golfer with two cuts in a hole. But it's just not as much fun. It'd be less fun. You can't make a bomb. Trent, you wouldn't take that?

No. What? No, I know I know I'm terrible. You're terrible. It's just like you would shoot, I don't know. Eighty-nine, 90, every single round, Every single route?

What do you mean? No. I like the same. Turn into automatic sixes, automatic. Yeah, but Frankie, like you chip to, like you go one, two, you're just on the fringe. And then you chip it on to a foot. That's an automatic two putt, so then you're in for a five. Right.

That just froze them up. You didn't like that. No, I know. I'm just trying to make the argument for the other side. It's. No, I mean, I hear you. For example, yesterday we're playing this. of course, Rivertown.

And I go, I have like 40 feet for Bertie, I think, on the first hole. And I was, I looked at the superintendent. I was like, because we're playing with them in a little threesome with my buddy. And I was like, are these things fast? And he's like, not really, you know, they're like, you know, they maybe rolled his hand or whatever. I was like, all right. And I saw a little ridge right before me.

And I smacked this thing. I snack this putt, probably 15 feet off the green. I mean, it went forever. So like in that case, like I would love the two putt. Right. But like, but then Frankie, every time you stick a ball, like where you're like, oh, man, I actually hit that thing pretty good. You miss it.

It's tracking. Maybe it goes to six feet. Like you can't, you can never make that put again. Like, no, I'm out. I'm way out on that. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. I also like the option of like, I like think of Lurch, if you had made that 40 footer.

That's fucking awesome. Like place goes crazy. That's, that to me is more fun than playing. like shooting 85 and 90 every round. Like I don't give a shit about that. Yeah. And I guess it takes away like, yeah, hole outs because it's zero puts. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I mean, I think it's an obvious note. Like, I think scoring-wise, I probably score better over the course of my career if I take that. But I'm just, I'm never going to take that. Do you like to know what's going on in your neighborhood, Trent? Yes, I do. Well, next door is the hub for everything happening in your neighborhood.

Do it now. We got one here from Lee. We only got a couple more here. This one, I don't know if this is a good one or not, but it was one of the first ones I saw. If you could have Tiger skill and the same wins, wait, hold on. If you can have a tiger's skill in the same wins, but he never existed, would you do it?

So I was just tiger? You're just tiger. Yeah, I take that. Yeah, I mean, I run away with that. Like Frankie, I wasn't on Frankie's side until he was like, I would just beat the hell out of Tiger and have all his skill. And then I thought about it. I was like, yeah, I mean, that's the right answer.

You either, in that question, I forget, like, every time you punch him, you get his skill. And so you either never touch him or you just beat. the bag out of tiger and I think the clear answer is you just pummel. Also in this one it said he'd never existed so people wouldn't know that they were missing out on it. Yeah. If you one thing if people knew like, hey, remember that guy Tiger Woods that you guys all loved and he, all those huge wins and it was so fun to root for him, I'm taking all that away from you

because I want all those wins and all that money for myself. That would be different. But if he just never existed and no one ever knew, that's the, it's the easiest yes ever. Yeah, it's the easiest yes of all time because everyone wants to be Tiger Woods, regardless of what happened in his life, he still has an incredible life. Like, he's the best of all time. He's a mythical creature. Highs and lows, whatever, he's incredible. Actually, the question I remember when we did that where it was like, how many times you fist-bumped him,

I said, yeah, I'd beat him up until I become tiger and he's nothing. But I think when I look back, the original question was actually, like, would you fist-bump him if it gets you to scratch? If it gets you to scratch, but, like, it takes just, it takes away from him. So whatever skill, so like for you, you're like, you're a seven handicapped. You're putting seven strokes on to Tiger,

but now you're a scratch. Do you do that? So it makes him less- If it's just one, absolutely not. What do you mean just one? So if I can only bump him and it just makes Tiger non-existent for the rest of his career and gets me to a scratch,

I never fist-bumped Tiger ever again. Correct. So, but in the, where you took it to is a question, you lock him in a chair and his knuckles are always apt to be bumped and you touch him as much as you can. I don't know. What's the allure of being, this isn't going to sound crazy, but like what's the allure of being a scratch girlfriend? I know we've talked about on the show before, you get so good to the point where it's almost like you don't even hit good shots anymore. You're obviously hitting consistently great shots, but it's almost takes away the fun of it.

So for me to take away or to put seven shots on Tiger, and then for me to be a scratch, like, where does that get me? I'm just a blogger who's a scratch ball. No, we get so much more enjoyment out of just watching Tiger, be Tiger than us playing and being a scratch, because we can still golf. It's not like we can't golf right now. We're just not good.

Tiger being the best is so much more enjoyable. Total. The highs and the lows are better, I think, as I mean, I'm still trying to break 100, but I still find, like, when I hit a good shot, like when he went the knuckle trick, I still feel like if I was a scratch that would be taken away a little bit. Yeah, yeah, I agree.

That's all though from the galleries I got. I pulled five or six of them and we ran right through them. You guys got any party thought? I'm interested to see. It's obviously a different type of show. We're all over the place right now. Of course. Physically.

And obviously, I don't know what the hell he just said. I want to listen back and see how his experience was in the White House. I don't really have much shit to talk about them. Usually I like to get my shit talking out. Oh yeah, get your, you got anywhere. Last time it was Burmira. Usually I like to spill the beans. Which, by the way, do you guys know the history of the words of the phrase,

spill the beans? Nope, I don't. So in ancient Greece, beans were actually used to vote for candidates entering various organizations. So one container for each candidate was set out before the group of members. and they would place a white bean in the container if they approved in a black bean in the container if they didn't. And sometimes a clumsy voter

would actually knock over the jar revealing all of the beans of how people were voting, like whether there was a lot of white and black. So they would actually say like, oh, you spilled the beans. Like you released the wrong information. Okay. Okay. That one seems like it could be real.

Yeah, it does. It does. I'm hoping he can send us off maybe with another one that really puts this weekend. podcast to bet. Yeah, that one was good. Oh, there's another one where it's in medieval times. They would actually put, so people had such a fear of getting buried alive, that they would actually put these contraptions through the grass into these coffins

when people would be buried. And there would be a bell inside. Had the person woke up or awakened, they would be able to ring the bell. And it happened to the point where they actually came up with the term saved by the bell. I like that. That one is awesome. Because I've heard the coffin thing. Yes.

So I've heard the coffin thing. So I know you're true up until that point, but I didn't know it was saved by the bell. I love that. So a lot of people think it's like a boxing thing. Yes. Dude, it also makes sense because how in the medieval times, how are they checking if you were dead or not?

I feel like you could pass out of the bar and they'd be like that guy's dead. Or the person was in a coma, right? Like a now modern coma where it's like, they magically just fucking woke up. Imagine getting buried. And then all of a sudden you wake up, you're just in a coffin underneath the fucking dirt.

You're like, oh, no, let me out. But imagine just ringing that thing? Like, hello! It's like a Larry David goes to medieval times. I think you'd be fucked if you were in a cone because, say, lasted three or four months. They would take the bell away after like the first week or two. They'd be like, this guy's not coming back.

And then you're fucked. Yeah. That's scary. I like that one, though. That's a good. That's a good close. Lurch, you've just completely disappointed. beard off of our screen. I'm trying to, yeah, I don't know. That's okay. She's banished,

oh, there I am. She's banished me outside. She says I'm far too out, so I have to stay outside when I do the podcast. I think that's totally, I enjoy, I enjoy speaking to you guys. Um, you know, my three friends, you know, Riggs, whatever. He's, I'm trying to get something. I just, I don't know, I don't really have much on them right now. Frankie, do you think you're the second best golfer in this group now? No, I can't. I mean, Riggs plays every single day. Riggs plays golf. every single day. I know.

Yeah. It's like I haven't swung golf. My game comes just down. Oh, so we actually really get into that. You shot a 92. Meanwhile, you're coming off

some of the best golf of all time. Dude, I couldn't even come close. My girlfriend, bless her little heart. Just passed me a Klondike bar. Oh, man,

like you need that. Give him a fucking vitamin and like a tum. Glass of water. Give him a glass of water. Get this guy of some fruit. Dude,

I couldn't. Bondike Bar. That's just, she's basically signing over your fucking, your jet papers. She wants to make, make sure you are as unappealing as possible to the opposite sex. Here you go,

sweetie. Yeah. It's almost all over. Yep. Yeah, dude, 92. I've lost, you know what I've lost? My ability to even have an idea of where my driver's going to go.

Just an idea. Have you thought about going just like four iron, five iron off the tape? Yeah, I have because like my foreiron goes an outrageous, just like, it goes like 225, 230. And I've thought about that, but I'm not ready to like just talk it like that. I mean, also it's in the beginning of the season.

I mean, technically, like, we played a ton of golf, but this is still the start of the season. So I can't quite do that. But down here especially where if you hit it right or left, you could be in the marsh or just in a person's home. I'm, yeah, I had a 92 and that's it. I would say generous 92. That's a humbling experience.

you know, you're just crushing that Kondike bar. We're not even done yet. Well. Man, I'm trying to see. What? Oh, never mind. I think I got duped unless he deleted it. Did Ed Werner comment on that like porn star that's always dressed up like the doctor?

Or is that just a, is that a, is that a meme? Wait, are you talking about Ed Werder? Come on, the guy that follows like. Edwarder. The football reporter? Yeah. Did he do this recently? Let me see.

Here comes storyline guy. Storyline guy. No, I just got a text message. I don't know if it's real. It's like it's a screen. It's a quote tweet, but I just looked at his Twitter. It's not there.

Someone wrote Ed. This is my brother Jonathan. He's been working triple shifts at the hospital for the last week. Could you show him some love? I know he'd really appreciate it. It's that porn star. That's that bald white dude that's like always a doctor and all those memes. And Ed Wurter apparently was like,

Jonathan, your country is sincerely appreciating of your commitment to your patients. There's no way. It has to be a meme. There's no way that's true. There's no way that's true. I don't want to start spreading rumors about Edward. I mean, you already have.

Already just did. You're going to say, I said from the beginning, I didn't think it was right. No, it's, it's, there's a screenshot if you look up Edwarder. Oh, man, tough. Thank you for you. Thank you for your commitment to your patience during this pandemic. And I'm truly grateful for your skills and sacrifice. No way, dude.

That's a meme. That's a dude. Plowing chicks every single day. There's no way he said thank you. Edward just hasn't, you know, he hasn't come across it yet. Oh, man, that may be right, man. That's nuts. All right.

All right. That's going to do it for us. We'll be back on Tuesday like normal, sort of like normal. We'll all still be in our different places, but we'll be back with the new episode. By the way, for all the listeners, too, this is like a little housekeeping. I know where we like to do the housekeeping, but we've been, obviously we have all these videos in the pipeline. We went to Pioneers. We went to Australia.

we went to Tobacco Road. We are plugging away at these videos because like we've had, obviously, we have a new ebug, Brendan and Jake. And we have all these, we have a bunch of producer problems where every single person seemed like we had just went away or fled away to another part of the country or another country. I don't know where they went. But we finally have ebug, Brendan, and Jake, we're a good working team.

And now that we're like quarantined and home, like we're going to try and release at least one. I've seen some footage. I don't know if you guys have seen. I think it was in the group chat the other day, but like tobacco. The tobacco road. The footage from tobacco road looks, I mean, laugh out loud, good. I'm so jealous I miss that trip. I think that video is going to be incredible. Yeah, and they're still working it out. We're trying to make it as good as possible and we're not going to, like, rush it out. But I want people to know that like, we're not just sitting on videos, just to sit on videos.

It's like you want to put a lot of work and effort into this thing to release it. Like you want to make it good. It's like making a fucking movie. You don't want to just like put it out just to put it out. You want to like put everything that you have into it. So, yeah, I'll pump for that. Takako Road is on its way. All right. Okay, good. I love it. Love that.
