Hey, 4Play listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcast, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Oh, Rick! What's up, my brother? I've got a buddy who struggles with that shot. A lot. His name's Frankie Burrilli. So the guy's actually gave him a nickname of butter knives because he always knives to the cross the green.

Rock 100. Now you've got to break 90. We appreciate what you guys do for golf. It's been really cool. Thank you. You're making it cool. We appreciate it. I was like, hey, Phil, you only fucking $29.99.

And he grabs 100. He's like, yeah, I won 90,000 of these yesterday. He goes, take 100 and you go, fuck yourself. What? What are you that different? It's a hobby. Poor play, presented by Barstool Sports, brought to you by our very good friends at Chevy, Chevrolet. We got some announcements on today's show.

We're adding a new event to Ways Management Week, which we're going to be out at. So we're going to talk about that a little bit. And then we have to talk about the stealth, too, which can. came out yesterday and Tiger Woods in his video and the whole deal. It is January 12th, 2003 when this podcast airs. We're talking on the 11th. So I don't know if that's like a lie that I just said or no, it depends who I'm speaking to. I'm not speaking to you guys. I'm not speaking to you. That's just, that's just in the industry. I'm not speaking to you. I guess at that part at the top, I'm not speaking to you guys. I'm kind of talking to the audience. Anyways, Monday.

Swaro course at Wicopah, which that's key. I know everybody. I didn't know how the fuck you say that. It's S-A-G-U-A-R-O, which is a very specific type of cactus to this region of the world, big, fucking thick cacti. I believe the, I'll pull up a picture and send it to you guys, but the Suaro cactus is, again, it's the one that we use in all the graphics, the middle, the one that looked like the middle fingers in the Arizona bowl.

and scram on all that we did and the championship logo for the barstole classic but big thick cactus and they have the arms and i believe the number is it takes like 50 to 100 years for each arm to grow so if you see one of these big swarro cacti cacti cacti and they have like three or four those things that thing's been around like longer than the united states of america that's really interesting and i never would have known to say it i've been saying the saguaro um scramping But yeah, really exciting. The Monday before the waste management open, I can't wait to get this to get people on Wicopah.

We played Max Homa at Wicopah so you can go and see. Different place. What? Mm-hmm. Totally different place. Yeah, that was auction, Southern Dukes. Au, we'll cut that. That's a super understanding.

I don't know that we cut that. I don't think that's fair. I think that's fair game. Have we done something at Wicopah before? The Barsoe classical go there? I don't think. Weiko pa. Weiko pa is core Crenshaw, isn't it?

Isn't it, Riggs? Yeah, one of their, the course we're doing it on is a core Crenshaw. They are on. I know, I've definitely heard of Wicopa and I'm not sure why. Is auction have a little dash in between the Ock and the shin? Yes. So that's what I was picturing.

Wee Copa auction. Come on. These names out there are fucking outrageous. It is a different part of the, it's like a whole different world out here. I don't blame you for that. And I was, I misspoke.

on both of those when I first showed up and I was filming my dumb videos and I was like, we're here at like AK Chin and they're like, it's auction. And then I'm like, we're here at Wikipa Sagaro and they're like, no, it's that right. So I don't blame you for that, Frankie. This is probably you guys know this because the Wicopaswaro course is my single favorite golf course in Arizona. And I post about it a lot. Oh, yeah.

I posted a bunch of photos of it. It is Corcoranshaw who are, you know, as hot as you could be in course. texture and the whole deal in Arizona. It's fantastic. Yes, I talk about Greyhawk a lot. That's probably my favorite overall place. The Raptor course, talent course, or as good as it gets, Raptors, maybe my second favorite.

But if you just take me pure golf course, I think the Suaro course at Wicopa is my favorite course. It's stunning. There's no homes on the course because they're on a Native American reservation. They got a casino on there. It's a great spot. We're going to have a really good time. So that is Monday, pretty much all day.

It's a two-person team, scramble. So you could sign up, I believe we're allowing people to sign up as four. And you can play with your buddies, but you'd be two different teams of two. $1,000 per team. That includes your green fee, breakfast, lunch, open bar, golf, obviously, again, your greens fee, prizes. You can hang out. We'll be there. There's going to be celebrities there.

It's going to be a fantastic time. Yeah, I'm excited. It's fucking a huge week. It's waste management. Get everyone there. you can all tell me, is this the place you played Max Homa? And I'll just keep saying yes. If you see me at Wicopa, I just ask me, hey, what hole did you guys lose to Max Homa?

And I'll just say, like, yeah, it was that playoff hole right over there. And I'll just act as though we've been there to play a match. But looking at the images, I know this is a very familiar golf course to me because Riggs posted all the time. The mountains backgrounds, all those Sowaro, cacti in the mix. It's a fucking outrageous golf course. And this has to be one of the best. one's in Scottsdale, right?

Yeah, this is generally like the most highly recommended, I would say. And it's, it's player friendly. It's not easy necessarily, but it's a little bit wider off the tee for desert golf. You could find your ball a little bit more than you can in typical desert golf. And it's got court crunch all architecture. So the bunkering, you'll kind of recognize, you know, the variety of holes, the views out there because, again, there's no homes on the course. You can see the Four Peaks Mountains with anybody.

ever heard of the Four Peaks brewery. They got a lot of beers around this area that a ton of beer beers are very popular. It's obviously based off of the four peaks, mountain range where you get four very distinct peaks. Even this time of year, they've got like snow on the top of the peaks. And you can see across this whole valley and the mountains. And it's just spectacular out there. And then they have another course that we go pot to the Choyah course, which that's another type

of cacti. and the choya is the jumping choa which if a jumping choa will go down as a a plant that many many thousands of people have believed genuinely attacked people because the jumping choa i believe the way it works is if if you graze it it attacks you like legitimately latches out and it and attacks you and puts dozens, if that more of spikes, cacti spikes into your body in a very painful way. And they're like, I think they have a little bit of something in them. So you're,

you will hurt a lot. It will take a long time to get them out of you. And you will bruise up. And pretty much everyone that lives in Arizona plays golf in Arizona. This has happened to before because you just, you graze past this thing. You get close enough to it. I think it senses body heat.

And it attacks. It happened to my friend Bill this past weekend. And it's just, it's all time when it happens to somebody. It sucks because you can't get the thing out, right? Because like if this same type of thing is in this person, I can't just get the thing out of the person because it'll then get me. So you have to like use a golf club and like try to chop it off the person a little bit. And then you start helping them out and taking it out.

That, that cacti is called a jumping choya. I don't think every choya is a jumping choya. but the other course at Wicoppa is called the Choya course. So clearly the big theme out here were in the fucking desert cacti and everything. And this, this plant, you know, this jumping choyah, we had, when it happened to my friend Bill, you know, his story was that he didn't even go near it. And the other guy's story was like, well, I mean, you had to be near it because like, like if they were just cacti running around attacking people, nobody would go to Arizona

and play golf. That just wouldn't be a thing. That'd be incredibly dangerous place to live and play golf. And he's like, dude, I really didn't go near it. And anyways, so yeah, we got a couple cacti out here to jumping joy of the Sawaro. And we're doing it at Wicopi. It's going to be fantastic registration, 1230 Eastern time on Friday.

So that's tomorrow, January 13th. And get excited. It's going to be a great time. Make sure you're on the website. We have a website there. 1230 look at all of our socials click the link make sure you're ready at 1230 because if you're not ready you're going to miss it this is just this is a limited event in scotsdale everyone's going to be looking to get into it you have to make sure that at 1230 you are geared up on

the website sending it to your buddies because if you're if you're late you're out that's how it's always happened how many years have been doing the barso classic who this will be our fifth it's going to be our fifth year and we've told people every single year all four years for every single event, 27 different events, 24 cities, whatever it ends up being that if you don't, if you're not on the website at 1230, when we say we're releasing it, then you're just going to miss out. And then we get so many messages being like, can we get on a wait list? What if someone doesn't show up? People always show up into the parking lot and be like, has no one showed up?

I want to get in. Just fucking do it the right way and get in now or else because I'm not like reading your DM saying like, oh, if someone misses, can you message me so that I can run up to Wicopah where you played maximum? I'm not going to do that. We're going to just see you there after you play after you sign in at 1230. It's as simple as that. I want you guys in. So like make sure you actually pay attention to what I'm saying.

Most podcasts is just white noise. You're not actually listening to what I'm saying. Hone in right now. I'm talking to you. He's just ready. Oh yeah. Wow. Those are beautiful.

You know, they're awesome. Everything that Frankie said is true and think about when this is happening. That area of the country during that week is going to be. It's going to be the center of the universe. You got waste management. You got Super Bowl. You got, we got celebrities playing in this thing.

Like, there's going to be a lot of action, a lot of hot action. So if you want to get involved in this scramble, you're going to have to be on that website. This is a jumping choia. And this is, fellows, if you, if you see one of these, stay away from it. Don't get within a, it kind of looks mobile to me. Yeah. It looks mobile. Don't get within a few feet of this thing.

It will, by all intents and purposes, and from what you experience, it will attack you. It will jump at you. So be careful. Plants that can react have always put the fear of God into God. It's a little bit of bullshit. You know, like the Venus fly trap, I used to have nightmares about that thing where you could put your finger in it and it would, I mean, that one was a little slower. It's not going to jump at you like the cactus. But just something about a plant having a brain like that really freaked me out.

Venus flytrap and quicksand, I feel like were two things you heard about a lot when you were a kid that don't, I haven't really come across as an adult. It's a little bit of bullshit. Like plants should be, plant that seems like one, one extra level that they shouldn't have. Like they should just, as long as you avoid them, they can't come at you.

It's a little bit to me like snakes that they'll come from underground now. Because like you can walk around in the desert and you can, you can scan and make sure you don't see any snakes. You don't step on any. But in any moment, they could just come from underground. And so in the summertime out here, when it's hot and the snakes are much more prevalent,

you can look around all you want, boys and girls, but like they've got this cheat code now where they'll just come out of the fucking ground and that doesn't seem like they should be able to do that. I've got this plant that like goes to sleep at night. Like if you turn all the lights off like downstairs, it just like folds up.

It's cute. Even that I don't like. When the lights come on, it kind of just like falls out. It's a beautiful big plant that goes on the middle of the table. But it's a while. It's been like it's been down there for like a year. And it's just alive.

We take care of it. It's wild. Wow. I'm hearing. I just saw that Live golf signed another player. Really? You want to take guesses? Yeah.

Well, I just kind of said the beginning of his first name. You didn't hear it. Okay, good. I didn't hear it either. We could play a little 21 questions if you want. Oh, wow. Yeah, let's do it. This is for James Corrigan, who has like basically not been wrong ever about Liv.

He's very, very, very close. Is it a top 50 player in the world? Yes, top 50. Wow. American. Not American. Okay. Holy shit.

Which seems to be an increasing strategy, which we'll talk about. PGA Tour winner? No. Hmm. So probably pretty young if they're top 50. I'm out. I can't that my... You're out?

You can't think of a question? I'm just thinking about... I'm just thinking about how I understand. All right. All right. Top 30? Not top 30. Okay.

President's Cupper? What the fucking I think? Presidents Cupper. Oh. Uh, uh, um. Bazaden Hoot? Nope. Little, little more famous than that.

He, I'll give you a hint. The guy, the guy had a, had a pretty rough moment this year or last year. That doesn't know. I can't remember yesterday. Dude, you think I'm going to remember last year? The guy, the guy forgot to swing in a really important moment. Forgot to swing in a very important moment. I had dementia.

And just gagged a very large tournament away. Oh, oh, um, Mito Pereira. Mito Pereira. There you go. Wow. You finally got there. I forgot he existed. To be honest with you,

I forgot he existed. Oh, makes a lot of sense. Makes a lot of sense. He's Chilean. He's boys with, uh, Joaquin Neiman,

who obviously went earlier. We could have played 200 questions. I wouldn't have gotten there. All of those, uh, all the Latino guys are going, man. Like, Wachianio. Sergio Garcia is there.

Eugenio Chikara is there. Eugenio Chikara is. there. He did forget how to, he did forget a swing one time. I've never seen a person swing like that. Literally. Literally. The most important moment of his career, he forgot how to do the thing that he had been doing well for 71 holes. It was, I remember being on that T and you're looking and there was, there was like maybe 70 yards of fairway to the left side. And the only place he couldn't hit it was right in the water. And yeah, he went full T. Rex arms. I was just. Who was his Thomas made. Was J.T. in his group? No, J.T was up ahead. It was him and fits. It was him and fits. It was him and fits.

because I remember Fitz was bitching about how slowly was the whole day. Justin Thomas may have single-handedly sent this guy to live. Like the guy can't handle like just the pressure. I remember the official came up to Fitz and Per- they were the last group and the official comes up to Fitz and goes, you need to speed up. And Fitch just goes right over there. You talk to that guy.

Smito Pereira. All right. But like Liv is doubling down on the, because all of the American designated events are in the US, right? The PGA tour is all in on America, and it does seem like Liv is trying to position themselves as the international tour, where they have more events that are everywhere else, and they're going to market these guys, and it's not going to be a U.S. Centric tour. So this makes a lot of sense, and he's joining all of his Latino buddies. I remember, like, Serge, like, when he, when Joaquin Neiman won, was like, when Neiman won at Riviera, it was like Pereira, Sergio, all those guys were waiting on the green.

ready to congratulate him. Those guys all share a house together on the road. They're really, really tight. So it makes a lot of sense. Chevrolet, baby. Bolt to Blazer, Silveradoes, pickup trucks. We're talking to pickup trucks last show about how pickup trucks are all over the Midwest. I think every friend I ever had growing up had a pickup truck at one point.

I know my, I think my brother still drives pickup truck. My dad drives, he has a couple pickup trucks. If you're doing pickup trucks, you're not doing a silver auto at this point. I don't know what you're doing and they're coming out with the EV, the Silverado EV pretty soon. So you could be, you know, still have your whole deal. The macho guy if you want, you're driving your truck over a couple big boulders with mountains in the background. Like you're playing at the Swarro Classic and then, or the Swarro Scramble. And then you've got the EV function going to, which just gets you into the future.

Right. It's a little bit of both. You're doing both things at once. You can still be the guy who drives a truck and you can just be living in the future because we are now currently living in the future with electric vehicles, Chevy, this is the future. Scotty Sheffler drives a Chevy suburban, like 150,000 miles, something like that. The guy's one of the best golfers on planet makes millions upon millions upon millions of dollars. I had one of the best financial years ever in golf if you rack them up in the annals and the

annals of golf. And the guy still, yeah, and the guy still drives a Chevy Suburban. I just drove a Chevy from Chicago to New York and it was like the most comfortable, easy experience of all time. It was great. best. With over 2,000 certified EV dealerships plus a growing network of public charging stations, Chevy is here to help you live electric. Chevrolet has electric vehicles available now. You could buy now the Bolt EV and the Bolt EUV you can reserve now.

The Silver Auto EV, they're affordable. You don't have to be some rich person to have an EV with an established full line brand like Chevrolet that's been doing it since what did you say, 1916 or something like that. Like 1912, I believe it was. 1911. 1911. That's just a long time to be doing it. They offer now at Chevy multiple EV vehicles. They got the value in the variety and the value customers all over this planet

have come to expect Chevy EVs for everyone everywhere. Was there any backlash with the WWE announcement yesterday that Saudi Arabia bought them? I didn't see any of it. It happened when I was at the Islander game. And I mean, I saw a couple tweets and I saw Robbie Fox before. of a video, but is anyone saying? I saw some backlash, but I also saw this morning, though, that's not true. Robbie and Brandon Walker this morning were saying that it's actually not happening.

Wow. Yeah, I was trying to, I looked it up this morning expecting a bunch of backlashy articles, hit pieces. And what I got was like this biography of like McMahon and the coming back and what they're not sure they're going to do. And it was posted like an hour ago. I was like, didn't they just sell? So did everybody just do the whole headline?

game and just jumped the gun last night and just claim they saw one thing and just said that they sold it to Saudi Arabia. I think that's kind of what happened. Yeah, it did seem like when I went to bed last night, I will say it seems like it was a done deal. They were like, the deal, Saudi has, the Saudis have bought it. WWE is now theirs and that's it. And I, I mean, the backlash, quote and quote that I saw was just like Brandon Walker, Robbie Fox and everyone just being like, I don't like this at all. And a lot of it was aimed at Vince because they don't want Vince back. Vince was gone. Triple H. And Stephanie took over, Stephanie McMahon, and everything has been great. People have been loving the product that they've been putting out.

And then old man Vince just came back, took the reins. Stephanie stepped down yesterday. And now all hell is breaking loose. But I don't think the Saudi part is true as of, you know, 10, 28 a.m. January 11th. Is Stephanie the reasonable one? Stephanie and Triple H are the reasonable ones, I believe. Vince is the one who's not reasonable. is in charge.

Triple H and Stephanie, I believe, are married. So and everyone, this could also be incorrect, but I think I sort of know. I live with Robbie Fox for a long time. And Triple H and Stephanie, people were waiting for Vince to step down because they knew that when Stephanie and,

and Triple H took over that it would become a much better product, like a much more interesting product. Last time I saw Triple H, he was telling everybody to suck it all the time. Right. But I guess he's actually like a quite a business mind and quite a, you know, he's got the WWE and all those things going in the right direction. But it is very Vince.

Well, you're saying, Frank, it's very double wrestling. Like he comes out. The glass shatters. Like, it's just it. The whole thing is a storyline, which I actually really enjoy that. Like, it's always something going on with those guys. I just, I always wish I got into wrestling because I think I like the theatrics of the thing of it. We were into it for like five or six years, big time.

but it was like early teens or something. Well, we were at the Super Bowl in Minnesota, and we played that game where, like, everyone got someone for WrestleMania. Jared Karabas basically made this game up that, like, we all got a different number. And that was the person that ran out into the ring. And if that person just won WrestleMania, you won the pot. It was so much fun because, like, you didn't know who you had. And we watched, like, a random WrestleMania from, like, 2004 or something.

So it was like all these huge names. Like, I was like, holy shit, they're wrong. rocks out there and shit. I was like and I remember like you not knowing who you're going to get. And then when when that music hits and they're like, who has this number? And I'm like, it's me. They're like, holy shit. You've got him. And I was like, yeah. Then you get thrown out of the ring. You're like, no. Once someone touches the ground, you're out. It's so much fun. Oh, it's, I've done that as well with those guys. And it's, it's incredibly fun. Wrestling, yeah, I never got into it. And now, it's funny now as an adult, I wish I was into it because you watch it as a

And then people, you grow up and people like, oh, it's not, it's not real. It's fake. And then as you get a little bit older, you realize that it being fake is part of it. And that's what's cool about it. That's the cool part. It's the, it's the self-awareness of the fan base and of the actual event itself. That makes it super fun. I mean, you're there at every event, you know, with your brothers in arms.

I mean, you're telling me there's not a Trent Ryan in every single row at every single WWE. I mean, I've got, I got the face for it. You've got the look of a WWE. adult fan and that's not a negative thing it's just a fact like you look through that crowd and you see a bunch of dudes that look just like trent going crazy with the hand signals and the fucking you know going nuts as each guy comes up and that's just good old fashioned adult fun is what that is right if you can that is true and i i take no offense to you saying that i have a wrestling fan face i think that's true and that's just it is what it is but i i know as you get older you just like throwing yourself into something is super fun and like not caring that it's fake or or whatever like that is it's a very cool thing that it's just not a part of my life i watch a lot of wrestling like i said where i live with robbie but it still never took hold so i i don't think it's for me i guess yeah like the people

have like wrestling why why why why is that allowed but like you can go watch avatar and like not make the same example that like you sit there for three hours and watch just like blue people fly around into different like planets and have fights with the sky people like that's acceptable but watching people do like a choreographed kind of like scripted version of sports or wrestling is not acceptable it's it's almost like the wrestling's more real than anything else you watch on TV and I mean those guys get hurt they yeah they hurt themselves it's theater it's it's just like sports theater you literally watch a guy who you know's name is like Robert Downey Jr and he's his calls himself Tony Stark and flies around as like Iron Man.

It's like. Right. But it's unacceptable. You know that's not who that is. You know he's a person with like a family. That's like that's not who he actually is. So it's it's the same exact thing. It's crazy if people get that upset.

We got into it because of video games just like we got into FIFA is like whatever it was late 90s, early 2000s. They came out with like a WCW versus NWO great video game on N64. And we would play two on two on two. with my brother and his buddies where you could tag the other guy in and bang people over with chairs. And I remember they eventually evolved a game where you could do a cage match. You could do ladder matches where you had to get on the ladder and get the belt from the

fucking sky. And it was the most fun thing you could do. And if somebody would actually be able to retrieve the ladder and then beat you up with it, it would like kill your guy basically. And so we got really into wrestling through that, which is the same deal with FIFA. I think it was a FIFA 98 game that came out that we got really into. too and I'll just been playing FIFA because of that forever. Also, just of note, Dan Rapaport just did the lurch thing where he just texted us

on the side that he's going to leave because he has to go report on some golf stuff instead of just telling us that he's going to leave. Yeah. I've also been to a couple of wrestling events and they're just like sporting events. You got 20,000 people packed into MSG and the place is going crazy when the music drops. People are going crazy. When somebody gets a pin, places going crazy. Yeah, I, you know, I'm a regretful. non-wrestling fan is how I would put it. I enjoy the music drops. Those are so much fun.

Like when Sina came back after all that time. I don't even know, but I know the viral clips where it's like a year ago, it's like a year ago, Sina came back and the place, I thought a place was going to collapse. It's incredible. Trent, did you see that a bunch of athletes bought a farm in Iowa? Did this come across your desk? This came across my desk late last night that Joe Burrow, Blake Griffin, a bunch of MLB players, and then Anders Lee, the captain of the New York Islanders, you know, one of the participants in the four men scramble against us. He purchased part of an, it's like a corn and something else farm. No, this hadn't really come across my desk until I talked to you today right before the podcast and now you're giving me more details. The only time, and I'm very curious to hear what the reasoning is, the only other time I hear about these types of things when, you know, sometimes face.

book will buy a bunch of acres of land in the middle of Iowa so they can house their server farms out there. They just put a bunch of servers out in the middle of Iowa. I would imagine Andrews Lee and Joe Burrow are not interested in putting servers in the middle of my homes. They're just looking to get farms, dude. So they have, they're all part of this group like Patrickoff and they're just looking to purchase up farms. And they said like a watermelon farm in Oregon is on the horizon. Like they're just trying to make non-traditional investments. Like Kevin Durant, LeBron James have all invested in all these things. It's crazy. It's all these people are investing in like the middle of the country. I guess it's just more

stable. I don't know. I don't understand what the something's fishy. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe all these people with money are going to be like because they know something's going to happen. Does you buying like the one thing that's not going to like shrink, which is just part of earth, right? Like right. Yes. very valuable part of earth. Like I was like, I was like the most valuable soil on earth. But why are they putting together

like ownership groups to buy farms? Like wouldn't they just buy it on the side? Like wouldn't Andrews Lee and Joe Burrow just be like, hey, hey money guy. Buy a bunch of farms. And so like if all this goes to shit, we'll make a ton of money. But why would they,

why would LeBron and Durant and Burrow and Lee all go together and make it super public? Because I think the farm. farms cost like $50 million and they just like, it's like an investment. It's like they all get together and they all, it's like owning percentage of a farm. They all got to get, it's an investment group. They all got together and they're like, I want this farm for $100 million. I'll put $10 million in. You want $20 million. You get that. So as they receive the profits of these watermelons, you know, it's fucking nuts. It's a corn and soy farm. They're in the corn business. And what,

what that means for me is I have to, I have to start photoshopping a lot of pictures of as a farmer. It's just something that I have to do now. I mean, farms generate a lot of revenue. I want to get involved in a farm. Something's fishy about this. You're a farm guy. You don't see the value in farm. You're the corn boy. I see the value. And I don't understand the way that they're going about it is my question. Like, why are, I don't know enough about that. When they buy a baseball team, like a investment group, like you don't have enough money to buy the whole thing or you don't want to put all your money into a farm. So you're like, I'll buy 10% of it. And then at the end of the year, when you split the profits, I get 10% back.

Listen, I'm pleased that the big athletes of the world and now it's taking Andrew's Lee to buy a farm for Frankie to respect Iowa. But I don't respect Iowa that much. I just find it interesting. I find it interesting. That's crazy. But I'm just a little, it's just all seems a little strange to me. But I, okay.

Wow. It is strange. It's a very strange thing. To see those names all together is funny. It does make you. think that the end of the world is happening. Yeah, like the coasts are about to get washed out and they're all like buying up land in the middle of the fucking in the middle country. Right. Like, it's, oh, it's, we're buying this soybean farm, but they're actually just going to put their

houses out there when their, their mansions in California and New York fall into the, in the ocean. That's right. I don't know. I'm going to look into it. Tweed about the Suaro Scramble. You said celebrities are going to play in it. Is, is, Is it public knowledge to us of if what's his name is going to play? We don't have to say his name, but singer, singer that has a big name. I don't know. I've heard that that's not like in any way a lot is what I've kind of heard. We've been having some, because there's a lot of interest in the Sawaro Scramble.

We've been getting some names tossed around because obviously it's a huge, huge week in Scottsdale. probably the biggest one, I would say. And, I mean, we've been getting some names tossed around that. I haven't heard in years that they're like, this guy's going to come play in the Sawara Scramble. We're like, what? That guy? What are you talking about?

That guy's just going to come play amongst like a bunch of people. So it'll be a little tease. Maybe if you go to the Sawaro Scramble, you'll see who I'm talking about it. That guy shows up. It's going to be a showstopper is what that's going to be. It's almost like how Steph Curry just showed up to the Barstow classic in San Francisco, just like right. Yeah.

Stutter. It was like Friday of that week, I could see there being mega celebrities. I don't know that like the celebrity crew was in town yet on Monday of that week. Are they? Maybe they are. Maybe. I don't know. I don't know.

Yeah. Because there is like, you know, there's media days like what, Tuesday of Super Bowl week. And like they do radio row and all the bullshit all week. Yeah, I think they start getting into town that Sunday Monday. Because it's a little week all parties, right? There's a little week parties that happen. Yeah. I think they probably do get in their town around that time.

There'll probably be some big fucking names. The thing is you need to be in town by Sunday night before the Super Bowl to like really play in this event. Right. So I think for the locals and the people that are making a vacation out of it and doing the whole week, like that's a no brainer. But I think for like the celebs, I could see them coming in midday Monday. But there will definitely be some names there. I just don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. You know, we've been trained to. Yeah. trained to learn that like the yeah every every can we ask anders lee about the farm you should be like what's up with your farm i'm not saying now i'm saying yeah yeah yeah if i see him for sure can i be like because we we talked him and i talked a good amount about high school i probably played football like a mile away from these these farms that they're buying up but i want to just be like i don't want to i don't want it to be like a secret society thing where i ask him about the farms and then i disappear

I think, I mean, because it's on all these websites, it's on like Forbes business. I think it's, it's on CVS. It's on all these websites. I'm pretty sure you're able to ask them like, hey, man, so you got this farm like in my hometown. Like, what's that about? I mean, it's an easy topic for me to bring up. Super easy topic. I mean, like, hey, I grew up. Do you know, does it say in what part of Iowa?

I don't know. It's in the Des Moines Register. That's a big paper. You know? In Iowa. It's a huge paper. So that's our capital city. What's just look like right here, Trent, Ryan?

It looks like a whoop because I got one on as well. There it is. The whoop, and it's the Woop 4.0, which is sleek. It's sleek research is shown that right now is when people are most likely to abandon their resolution. That's why we've been using Woop to make sure we stick with our 20, 23 goals. Woop is a fitness wearable that tracks and breaks down your daily sleep recovery and activity.

Thanks to their super detailed breakdown of data, it can help to show you how resolutions are positively impacting your recovery, sleep, and health. I'm excited because I woke up at 92% recovery today, which is great. I haven't had that. I will say that my recovery might be a little bit skewed. They're like, wow, for you, this is amazing based on kind of what's been going on. But I'll take it when you get that green right there like I got. That's just an incredible, kind of matches up with my ring light right there.

So anyways, WOOP is great. They're, the official fitness wearable of the PGA tour. You see Rory at JT. These guys are very into it. And they're the top of the game. You might not feel or see the difference right now.

But Woop can help you show the improvement you're making based on your own data. So you're not going to be tricked. You're not going to be thinking one thing while your body's actually doing another. You're just going to know. You can go to Woop.com. That's W-H-O-O-O-P dot C-O-M-W-W-D-com. and enter code 4 to save 10% off any membership today. That's whoop.com.

Enter code 4 and save 10% off any membership today. Get yourself a new Woot 4.0. They had all kinds of great data points, including skin temperature and blood oxygen and all the stuff that we mentioned. That's Woop.com. Use the code for. Newspaper names are very funny to me.

That it's like the Chronicle or like the Post. What's the name of your hometown? newspaper. St. Louis Post Dispatch is like the biggest one. The biggest one for us is this the Cedar Rapids Gazette. Okay. Frankie. Yeah. I will say that a harold is like very, very small one.

Yeah. Yeah. I, uh, I remember like, I think a couple years ago, I went to the St. Louis Post Dispatch website, I was trying to find some more details about a blog. I was writing or something. And it just was, I had in my brain growing up there that it, It was like basically the New York Times and like on that level and went to a website. And it was like I was on like the daily mail meets like what like hot or not.com now.

And it was like I had to click 37 ad agreements. Oh yeah. I was like, what the fuck happened? So I didn't make it through it. But I don't know. It's still bigger. I have no idea. Newspapers, they've just had a tough go.

I would say the last 20 years, you know. Yeah, they got dominated. The internet is just around. And you're right. You go to some of these. Like if I, I think if I went to the Des Moines Register website right now, I would only get to read half of an article before I would be asked to subscribe before I can finish it.

Like that's kind of the only way that they can make money now. So yeah, newspapers like, I don't even, my parents don't even read the newspaper anymore. They still get that pop on big event nights. Like news day on Long Island is like when, when if the islanders have like a big game,

like you do want to see like if they make the back page. It's still sort of a thing in culture, I think, from like some people. Definitely not the younger generation. They don't even know what the back page is. But like I know that like I kind of get the feeling when I see the paper and I'm like, oh, shit, Brock's on the back page because he scored like scored a game. And it's fucking awesome. That's fair.

Yeah. I think it's still a part of like being cool. Like when I remember when Iowa football in 2015 when they went undefeated, a big memorabilia sell at the end of the season was a pick. of all, um, the front page of all the wins in every week. So they would be like, it just had like, unlike the whatever they put up on the thing. And that was that was cool. It was cool to see like historically each week what the paper said about them. But as a daily read, I would have I saw one of the guys in the, after the national championship game, um, on Georgia, like they gave him

the newspaper for the next morning and he took a good sick photo of him smoking a cigar reading the paper with their picture saying champions on it. That's cool. That was cool. And like that's what I mean is like it's still a part of culture that like an 18 year old college football national champion was given a back page of a newspaper to like take a photo on. That made me a little bit more happy that like that is still.

Because I don't care about like the thick of the newspaper. I never did. I always cared about the. It's like almost reading a picture book. I cared about the back page. I cared about the standings. Obviously this was before I was checking like Google and the score app. You just care about the I owners.

So that's just. No, I cared about just like the big. sports stuff. I didn't like read the fucking like, well, this new restaurant zoning in East Meadows coming in and everyone should go vote at the town square. I'm not fucking doing that. I'm reading. I'm looking at pictures, colors. I'm looking at guys smoking cigars. And I hope that that sticks around. I hope back, you know what? Maybe just turn into just like one page. You drop one page off to every single house. That's just a photo. It's just a photo on newspaper. And it's just this is what it is. Like this was the biggest photo of the last night. And I would,

I'd sign up for that. I'd pay $10 a month for that. That's just the internet. You're there. I would, I would pay $10 a month for it to come on a piece of newspaper. Frank, he wants them to print out the most like picture on Instagram every day and drop it off at his doorstep in the morning. And then you just kind of look at it. You look down and like, oh, sick. Look at this thing.

It's a little bigger than it is on the phone. You can feel it. I remember it was a big deal when I was playing football in high school and you would hope that your picture would get in the paper or the write-up about the game. They would mention something that you did. That was always a big deal. Yeah, that's cool. but that's very specific.

Our big one was there's a website, USHR, which was United States Hockey Report, and they would pick a few games a weekend, basically, that they would do a write-up about. And if they did a write-up about your game and you had a good game, it would like catapult you into getting recruited to colleges. So immediately after every game, because we played a lot on Saturdays, and then all day, Sunday, you would just scour that website. and it was the only website we lived on. And you just, if you could get on there, it was game changing.

Oh, a cool thing we used to do after football games, after we won, we would listen to local radio on the bus back to school. And they would give like a game recap. And they would be like, and Trent Ryan forced to fumble and recovered by, you know, so-and-so player, the fucking bus would erupt. That was, that was the most fun I've ever had in my entire life. That's incredible. Good.

Another thing it's too good. Taylor made stealth too. So yesterday was the big launch. I don't know if you saw. If you have a phone, you probably saw. My favorite part by far, Tiger Woods does his little video,

30 second video. And he very nonchalantly, he's like, I actually went over there and just to test it out. I hit a couple off the heel, a couple off the toe to really test. And it actually is a little bit more forgiving.

And he shows the marketing. And I mean, his ball, Mark, for his ball, he had off the toe was, I don't know, a fraction of a centimeter away from the dead center of the club. Yeah. He's programmed. He is programmed to hit the center. Center of the face. Even exactly what you're saying. He'll just maybe a millimeter off.

Off the toe, maybe a millimeter off. Where he hit in the toe would be, that is by all accounts, the sweet spot. Like for any person on earth, if you hit one there, you're like, I flushed it out of the tent. Well, it wasn't even closer to the toe. I'll show you the, I'll show you the, I'll show you the, I'll show you the, I'll show you. I'll show you. I'll show you. I'll show you. We got to do that thing where we put the baby powder on the face. I like that. I mean, when he hit that ball, I was like, wow, that really shows all the impressions and the dimples of the golf ball. That was really cool. I never even thought of that show on the baby powder. But let's add that to our ideas list. It is. So sometimes, so the stealth two is amazing. And it is. And it is. it is important and noteworthy that Tiger Woods chooses to use these clubs. Like I think that we get lost a little bit because we're living during this time that, oh, yeah, of course, you know, Tiger Woods is a tailor made athlete, so he's going to use that club and it's their new products,

so he's going to make a video and all that. But you got to understand, and we're talking about, we're talking about Mozart picking his musical instruments. This is a guy who historically is the best golfer of all time and will continue to be that for the next couple hundred years. And during this time, when he was alive and playing golf,

he chose to play Taylor Made and use the stealth too. Like I think that gets lost sometimes just how important Tiger Woods is and how important the clubs that he specifically chooses to use how important that is. And the only thing he wants to do is win. That's all he wants to do is win.

He doesn't want to get paid. Like he makes plenty of money. Right. He's literally like, the right, the response to that could be like, oh, he gets paid to use. Well, he would get paid by any company to use anything. He just only wants to win made. That's it.

Exactly. It's super interesting and super important. Now, we use it because it has great forgiveness. We, we just talked about it. I hit it all over the face, sometimes barely on it, like whatever. And we love it. And it works for us. We got to test it and use it.

And it's fucking unbelievable. So guys like us can use it. And then a guy like fucking Tiger Woods, the greatest of all time, also uses it. So that's the sort of range that it has. I think Roy McRoy uses it. I think Scotty Sheffler uses it. I think Colin Morcawe uses it. It's sexy.

The club is sexy. The big takeaway that they were really hard around with us is, yes, everybody got the speed from the tailor-made stealth original. That's why all those guys were using it. You could see guys that weren't even contracted to use it. We're using it because speed, the ball comes off faster. It's great. Whatever. What they really focused on was obviously protecting and holding onto that, which they did.

and then adding forgiveness. And forgiveness at every level of the game, especially Tiger when he's hitting him, basically shanking him off the toe. You got to have that forgiveness. And they've added that to the teller I made stealth too. So I'm fired up to get mine. We hit ours and we put that video out.

You can check it out. We hit ours like three months ago now. And then they take them away from us. And we're going to get them back here pretty soon. I cannot wait to get my stealth too back. They do take them away from us. We get to hit them. We love them.

We fall in love with them. And then they take them away. What's crazy is that we don't let us live. property. People thought that we, um, like, edited that video and only showed all the good ones. Like, if you look at our Instagram, everyone's like, we show all of our first swings with them. And we, all four of us piped it right down the middle. Of course, Dan's like, I slept or whatever he said. I don't even know, but he hit it right down the fucking middle. And, um, everyone's like, oh, how long did it take these guys to find the best one? It's like, you could go ask the tailor,

the tailor made guys in the background, you could hear them. The guys who built the golf club are like, holy shit all four were right down the middle every single swing what's the psychology behind that behind those people not wanting our first swings to be good i don't understand that like they right they think that we're just lying why we don't we've never done that we don't do that right we literally just we film a bunch of shit and we just put it out you what's last year we did the same video we've always put out us hitting bad shots it's crazy that we're not given that moment that we all hit four perfect shots that it's like a like it should be a shocking exciting like time that all four of us hit the ball down the middle because right for five years and on youtube or whatever it's been

we've only shown the bad stuff so it's like we've earned that right for that to be a legitimate shocking moment but instead people think it's a lie which is like if we only show the good shots then yeah then you can start like piecing together like oh we're we're like fabricating our golf games and we're not showing the good, we're not showing all the bad swings. That's literally the opposite of what we do. So the day that we do all hit four good shots, how was the first thing you think about is that it can't be real?

What are you talking about? That's why it's exciting. That's why it's a video. That's why that was a clip. You're also talking about commenters on the internet. Like who? No, it's just, yeah, for sure.

The psychology behind it is interesting. Because, yeah, it's like, we just, we don't, we just put things out that we film. It's not, there's no big, thought behind it. As surprising as that may sound. It's just like, let's film something and put it out.

It's very interesting. The stealth too is amazing. I can't wait to get my hands on and put that thing in a play. They brought back the glossy, like glass finish top. The stealth one was a mat top. Let me tell you something. Something about this new look.

Because I would say that for me, like 95% of the driver is how it looks behind the ball. Because if you're going to tell me all the technology and all that stuff, when I'm like hitting draw, hooks and I'm hitting like like slices into the driving range from the first tea like at the at some point the technology it's like it's all about like my swing at some point the technology obviously helps like fargiveness is their new term it's going to go farther it's going to it's definitely going to be more forgiving and they we have videos throughout this new tailor made series that are

going to prove that it is way more forgiving so that's factually correct but they nailed the look of it like when I look down at the ball that's like what I'm purchasing I'm purchasing a new piece of awesome equipment that obviously is a good chunk of change because it's the best on the market. You look down it, it's got to look good. And I never really fell in love with the mat top. I know that I think there may be a chance to like change it to back to the mat. I don't know if it's going to all be customizable, but I know the one that's coming standard has the red face with a glossy mirror top. And I fucking love that look. I've always loved that look. I've loved it on other golf clubs. I've loved it throughout my whole entire life. I've always had a glossy top driver.

the fact that that's back is huge for me. It just looks really, really, really clean, really clean. So go check it out, go to Taylor Made's website, get checked up because boy, oh boy. And I mean, when they put it in play, right, those guys get to choose what they want to use. The money is so astronomical now, which we've discussed at length, that every shot difference is going to be worth whatever they're getting paid by Taylor Made pretty much, especially when they finish in the top five and it's a $2.7 million versus $1.5 million for second versus this month. a shot or two a week and all of a sudden you're pretty much paying for one of the dorsable deal is going to cost so they're just using the best and when that new driver comes out

and they put it in play which they're all rocketed uh which they were last year that rocked it this year tiger was using the stealth two when you saw him play at ptze like clearly they like it and they're rocking it uh that's a great side so taylor made stealth two's out it's fucking very very very very exciting congrats to that team we know those people incredibly well inside now we went to scotland with them. We've done the whole deal. And I know it's a lot for them to roll something out. I mean, I can't even imagine that effort it takes in one year to roll out a whole brand new driver. So it's crazy. And you know it's the best. People know Taylor-Mids. Like there's all these other brands that are making these big social pushes and all this stuff. And there's a reason for that. It's because Taylor-Made's just been stomping the competition into the ground for years upon years. And like you said, when you look at the people that are using it, there's, they don't even like, you don't need to explain why it's the best. You just have to. to look at who's using the golfers.

Literally, just say Tiger Woods, Roy McElroy, Frankie Borelli. Yeah, I mean, the only names that you need to hear. At the end of the day, it's just like, what are we even pushing? Like, it's just a fact that it is the best driver. It's a fact that it's the best one. No, these guys know. Was that an opinion?

I wish it could be an opinion. I wish it could be something that we could debate. But unfortunately, it's not. I got to bring up Ian Poulter. I hope you guys saw him. last night tweeting, but Ian Polter tweeted out. He's blocked. I couldn't see it either. I saw a bunch of people screenshot it because I think so many

people were blocked that so many people had to screenshot it. He last night, the European Rider Cup account tweeted out something about incredible touch from Francesco Mollinarari, just a clip from whatever. And Ian Polter responded to it and said, what's really an incredible touch is the players that help build the Ryder Cup Europe brand with other players as well. You just can't bring yourself to say simple happy birthday. The Sergio Garcia birthday yesterday.

Unfortunately, this says so much. Wait, what? He wanted the Ryder Cup account and wish that the Ryder Cup Europe account didn't wish Sergio Garcia happy birthday the day before, which he also outed himself as Michael Scotting. himself because his birthday is today. So what happened then was live golf had not tweeted happy birthday to Ian Bolter either. So live golf 16 minutes after that tweet from Ian Poulter tweeted happy birthday to Ian Poulter.

Well, I think he's doing this comically. Well, also, I do not. You are also a huge birthday guy. So of course you're going to agree with Ian Poulter here. Well, no, I'm not agree. I think he's doing it. like with some sort of comedic tone to it. You don't think,

you think he's legitimately taking to Twitter to wish himself happy? You don't think he's being like Ian Polter, the fucking jokester, being like, is anyone going to wish me a happy birthday? Come on. Because there's such live undertones. I think he's literally like the European Rider Cup

has completely abandoned all of the players that built European Riter Cup. That's crazy. And that's very clear and that they're not wishing us happy birthday. I mean, the last sentence I can't take seriously. I mean, I've followed him for as long as I could before he blocked me. I, the vibe that I get.

And maybe I'm just completely misunderstanding the comedic genius that is Ian Poulter. But I think he's mad. Wow. Yeah, that says a lot about him, I guess. I would, from what we've heard from people that are close with the impulter, I thought that he had enough, like, comedy in him to be. be able to make that joke and be like is anyone going to wish me like a Michael Scott joke like saying like you guys don't even wish the people a happy birthday on the team Sergio yesterday and clearly it's

his birthday as he's tweeting that it's very funny to me that like if he actually is trying to do that it's it's the live undertones that make it right less and the like to the Michael Scott comparison like Michael Scott's not joking he's like very much once a happy but he's like rattled that people right which is insane for someone to do that in real life is my point it's like you have to be so out of That's our point. Yeah, I agree. That's exactly right. Yeah, I'm insane. Listen, I mean, we've, I mean, we've given him a lot of grief over the years to the point where I think he said that we verbally assaulted him or something. But I would love nothing more than to get inside the brain of Ian Polter and have him on the show. We've also had people that we know, sort of extend not even an olive branch, just a question of would you ever do something with these guys? And boy, did we get a hard no? So I just don't think. that we had we had Trevor emelman and pat Perez do that while we were in their company having a couple drinks with them and they were like we've made this point so many times which I think is in line

with Frankie of like dude Ian Polter on the show would be great I'm sure he'd be funny we go back and forth to be an all-time episode and they've been like of course he'll do it he's the man let me reach out to him and then five minutes later they're like oh man no he is no he hates you guys And what that says to me is that we, we, we saw through what he was trying to do and we touched on truth. And he is not happy about that. Like I, I wish he was this comic character who, you know, just love Ferraris and, you know, would do all these different things. And I think that's a way to view him. But I don't know if it's necessarily the accurate way.

I think he's actually an asshole. that's my understanding thus far. Maybe if he came on the show, we could figure that out. He's got to come on the show. He's got to figure it up. Of all the apps on my phone, I would say this one, which is Rocket Money, is perhaps the most genuinely helpful to my life and my habits. Yeah. All the other, like I use Twitter, I use Instagram, those ones are just a lot of doom scrolling for being honest.

But with Rocket Money, it's giving me information that I can actually use. shows me how much I'm spending on Uber eats, how much I'm spending on Uber's, how much I'm spending on coffee, like having it itemized and broke down that way.

It'll be like, hey, did you know you have this, this, this, and this. And if you see something you haven't used in a year or you don't use it all anymore, you just have them cancel it and they'll do it. Rocket money is legitimately useful. guess what percentage of people have subscriptions they forgot about?

A hundred percent. It's got to be way over 50 percent. I had four, so four percent. No, I had four subscriptions that I thought that I had forgot about. Oh, it's got to be everybody. Over 80 percent. Over 80 percent of people have subscriptions they forgot about,

It appears Dan Rappaport's back, but he's still on mute. Can you hear us, Dan Rappaport? Speaking of Ian Poulter. We just jumped right back into it. Speaking of Ian Poulter, he is a cast member in the Netflix show, which just announced its name, its release date, and there's a trailer. Wow. That's exciting.

Full swing. It's called full swing, and it comes out on February 15th. What date does it come out? February 15th. I'm excited for that. Oh, yeah, baby. Shout out, whole swing. Yeah.

That's fucking launch monitors getting that name on Netflix. You guys got to watch. I mean, the trailer is electric. Dan Rappaport is involved in this show. Yeah, there's a, I think we can find, I mean, my voice, I think is in the trailer. I'm going to watch it right now. But yeah, I mean, I don't know exactly what I'm allowed to share, but my voice is in the trailer. So that's, that's not.

by accident, I would think. But yeah, super, super, super exciting. I think what's cool about this is that there's a lot of live stuff in there. I think a lot of people, a lot of people were afraid that, you know, this was going to be a PGA whitewash show that it was just going to ignore live golf or just shit on live golf. But Dustin Johnson, Brooks Kepka and Ian Polter are all like big time cast members. And the show tells the story of professional golf in 2022.

And you just cannot tell that story. without talking about Livgolf. No, that would be, that would be disingenuous. It would be disingenuous. So it's, it's very, very exciting. I've been trying to, you know, keep sort of my involvement a secret for a while. But, I mean, I don't, again, you never know how much you're going to be in it until the actual show drops. But I did quite a bit of interviews for the show.

Oh, that was my thing. When I did the Bachelor luggage poll, I didn't, I told like three people and two of them are on the Zoom. I didn't tell you because you don't know if it's going to totally get cut. And if you're walking around being like, hey, I'm all over this show. I'm like, really, it's going to be a big moment. It's going to be fucking awesome. And then they just cut it. You're like, I'm an asshole.

Yeah. You keep it tight. I've told a lot more than three people. I think I've probably told everybody that I know. Especially my fiance, anytime she gets drunk, she's like, you guys hear that dance in a Netflix show. And so she just can't, she can't keep it to herself. But it's very exciting. I mean, look, it's hard to.

judge, it's going to be hard for us, I think, to judge how good the show is. Maybe, maybe not, but for me personally, because I was so close to it, but it's like with F1, I'm coming in with basically no knowledge. So everything is new, right? Like, you talk, you tell me about this friendship between players, I got no idea. They're going to talk about the JT and speed friendship and stuff, and it's like, we've all seen that a jillion times. So the show has to be made. I was talking to the producers, they were saying, Netflix needs someone who doesn't watch golf at all to be able to consume this show. So it's probably going to be, I don't know if dumbed down is the right word, but it's going to be digestible for people who aren't us. Gotcha. Do we know like the,

the Formula One community, like the foreplay of Formula One? What is their take on Drive to survive? I think they think it's like very over dramatized. Okay. And I know that there was like some beef with Verstappen. Like he didn't like the way that he was portrayed. I think they just really drum up storylines. That's all good stuff. That's great. Like if the players don't like the way they're portrayed, that's fantastic. But for a fan, that is a good question. That is a good question, Riggs. How do the hardcore F1 fans feel about Drive to Survive?

Right. I don't know. Because they might, I could just see going through it and being like, this is a recap of everything that I saw with like a little bit more. But that little bit more can can make the difference and make everything awesome. Like, you know, JT in his car or whatever. I just watched on this trailer. Like that stuff, we don't get any of that. Not in real time.

Yeah, there's a lot of stuff. I mean, they film at all these guys' houses. They film, you know, they're inside the locker rooms of all of these tournaments. They're at all the parties after the guys win the majors. So, I mean, there's definitely going to be a lot of, like, really cool insider access. It's just, I don't know how much of the information itself is going to be new for some of us who live, you know, breathe and eat this stuff. probably like probably very little right but I also would say that's that's true with the formula one where it's like I don't think that if you followed F1 start to finish you like you knew where

this guy was thinking about going because he already went there and left that team and you knew that you know what I mean this guy like you knew all that shit so it doesn't change anything I'd be surprised if there's like any new information but I think you could learn hopefully you'll learn like different dynamics of relationships that's what I can understand like people people uh certain golfers names caddies whoever's like reaction to certain things happening and being like oh there's something interesting here because that on the drive to survive stuff was fucking unreal and the drivers would get into it with each other with their team or like they'd be bitching about the car and then they'd show them behind the scenes with the the manager

of the team like that stuff was like oh fuck they're like really getting into it that stuff was awesome yeah and i i saw some uh i saw some clips from the fitzpatrick episode and there's There's just like certain things that just don't make the telecast where like he hits a bad shot and you just see the bad shot. But like the Netflix cameras because they're right there. They can hear him being like, you absolute twat. You know what I mean? Like things that you just don't hear where it's like, yeah, they're normal guys who talk themselves on the golf course. It definitely humanizes a lot of them. You know, fingers crossed, fingers crossed. If this is any anything near the impact on golf that F1, that the driver survive had on F1 and granted, golf is starting from a much higher spot. F1 had basically no footprint in the United States. Golf has a pretty large footprint in the United States. So I don't think we're going to see the same percentage growth and everything that we saw with Formula One. But we just got to make golf cool. And I think this is something that's going to try to do that.

I think one of the big issues with golf in that it's not going to translate is like I think going to a Formula One, you know, Grand Prix is fucking awesome. accounts. I've never been and considered to be awesome. And I think going to golf tournaments is generally disappointing. There's, there's, there's, there's definitely like built in advantages for F1. And it's also like, they're going in Ferraris 200 miles an hour around corners. They could actually die. And it's like, it's kind of a travel show. It's like yachts and and princes in Monaco with, and golf is like, here's this putt in Charlotte. It doesn't exactly have the same sex appeal. Well, you can't even see the put and sharp. Like you can't you can't see like a couple shots and a couple players and like you can't get around the property. And then the people that you see instead of like yachts and Tom Brady's there.

It's like you see like, like, fucking a bunch of suits from like J.P. Morgan are up in that suite on 14. And you're just kind of like, well, that's cool. Good for them. They got like free fucking stakes. So it's just like I think it's, it's golf like we just have to admit golf is lamer than Formula one like inherently. And for a fan. So it's like you're going to have to, unless you're going to have to, unless you're you're really into it. You understand the, you know, playing it and how hard it is and like courses and all the different elements that you can get into. Like for somebody coming in bland, it's just lamer and like more boring than Formula One. And that's going to be a hard thing to overcome. I think. Well, and they got lucky Netflix in this year that the off the course stuff was a

soap opera. So hopefully you can lean more into that and get, you know, inform people of exactly what's going on and why these guys are leaving and and give them the whole live angle because I agree with you like on course footage other than temper tantrums and you know huge success and winning outside of that you're not going to get a ton but the off the course stuff is just as interesting as any other sport yeah yeah there's a full blown drama this year which is insane I mean they can absolutely put this in the drama section of Netflix as opposed to like the sports uh day But you're right. It's like, I just don't, yeah, that physics, the golf shots themselves just all kind of look the same and just aren't necessarily that cool.

So it's, I wouldn't be surprised if we see very few like actual golf X's and O's action. I'll say when I watch, I've only seen the first season of drive to survive and they definitely show a lot of racing. But I don't necessarily fully grasp like what's happening when I'm watching it. Like, you know what they obviously only show the moments that are. super high octane and like, oh my God, this guy's going to pass this guy at the end of a race. Like, they don't show the middle parts of the races when there's nothing going on. Yeah, I don't think you're going to see any shots from like Thursday, Friday and Saturday of basically any tournament.

Right. It's really interesting because like being a part of this show, basically for the whole year, this was something that started before I came to bar school. The amount of stuff that they filmed, you know, every single day, you know, I was wearing a mic a lot. and they were filming practice rounds and they were filming first rounds and then you got to boil all of that footage down to

I mean I think there's eight episodes so it's like six hours total six and a half hours total basically so it's it's really only the best of the best like most of the vast majority of interviews there are people that they interviewed who they just don't use in the show there are players because if you look at the initial list of players

there's like Max Homa's on there Abraham Answers on there's a lot of Sergio Garcia there's a lot of players who signed agreements to participate who don't end up getting featured in the show. I would not want to be the one who's making that phone call saying, hey, I know that we bothered you all year. I know we made you wear a mic. I know that we came to your house and filmed you, but you didn't quite cut it. Sorry, I can't stop laughing thinking about the guys at full swing launch monitors, like popping champagne at their headquarters right now. Imagine, I mean, it's the biggest show in golf and it's just your company name.

Like whenever someone Googles it, it's just going to pop up like their launch monitors and their their simulators like imagine the show was gonna push them like 13 pages down on the google no i think it would do bet imagine it was just the show was just called track man it's just like oh yeah it's just like a thing that's in golf like what are the odds that they picked the exact name of a product in golf you know i mean like yeah of all the names that you could have picked you just pick like the exact when you type in full swing into google just all their websites and social it's insane it is going to go one way or the other like riggs is saying it's going to go more it's going to be brand awareness or or not I think it can only help.

Just like it's a famous name now. It's like Netflix. It's going to be the biggest show in golf history. It's just the name of your product. You think it's good? I guess it probably is good, but I don't know. What the name? No, I'm saying, I think it could be bad.

I think it could be bad because I think for the business. Literally every result would be like article after article after article about full swing. And then like the full swing. Well, depends on how Google does it. Like do they put like the. the domain full swing up to the top, like when you type it in, like, well, they always like cater to the actual website.

That'll just be the first search. And then all the news and articles will be below it. You know what I mean? Because it's legit, full swing.com. So if you type it in, I'm pretty sure they cater to like domains and websites first. And then news articles second.

It will happen as the show starts to go and players are giving quotes that are interesting. People will be writing articles being like in the show full swing. For sure. Those articles will be, it'll be an avalanche. But I make it. That's an interesting point about. like having the actual domain name.

It might stay at the top. Right. What do you think? If you type in Barstool Sports, I'm matter how many articles are written about it, I'm pretty sure the first thing that always pops up is the website Barstall Sports. And then below it, it's like,

all right, there's a USA article. But I would also say like Barstall Sports gets like hundreds of millions of hits. I don't know that Full Swing Simulator's website gets hundreds of millions of it. Oh, no, I totally get it. Google Barstle Sports. And the first thing at top is the Barstle Store,

which is great. and then barcelsports.com. And then under that is a bunch of articles. Yeah, the Barcelona store being up there's great. That's actually, that gives me, that's, that's, makes me think it's going to be very good for them. Right. What do you guys think of the name just like as a name for a television show?

Full swing. I don't love it for like what the show is supposed to be. Supposed to be like a drama filled show about like the PJ tour and live and all and stuff. I don't know that. I don't know. It didn't hit me that much. It's not drive to survive.

No. Doesn't hit drive. to survive. Yeah, that's an unbelievable name. I don't hate it. I won't say that. I think it's a good name. I don't hate it.

I don't know what else I would think. Swing for the bling. I think the tennis show is called break point or something, which I think is also better. Yeah. I mean, what else are going to do? Like, there's no term that like hits you.

Like, I mean, our show is called for play. It's like a, it's a play on like a sexual term. It's like, I think, no, there's no fucking word. It is a play on.

Inside the road. Imagine rigs just now. It's a bullshit. Our name is play on. blow jobs and like and and like fingers on the asshole. Fingers on the asshole, not inside, just on. It's it is. It's one of those things where when you get into that realm, everything that you do becomes cheesy. Like, even like when you're trying to, if we were trying to do a segment for this show, like you, you get, it gets boiled down to a point where, well, I'm talking about this sport and there's these buzzwords in this sport. And that's kind of my only area to go. So. inside. Yeah. They wanted to do. I think inside the ropes was kind of. kind of like the working title all year.

But there are so many things that are like in cold inside the ropes. I would, I would like for them to just take inside the ropes because like it's just Netflix. And it's just going to be the show like that one I actually like that one. I don't know that inside the ropes tells the average person it's a golf show because they don't know ropes. They know swing. Right.

I think. But you're right. Trent, you're right. Like the one segment we do is called from the gallery. Wow. That's the. I could be wrong about this, but I remember when Spitting Chicklets was being formed and they were trying to figure out a name. They basically, I think somebody tweeted out like, you know, we're doing a hockey podcast, like submit names and you only get the things that are like hockey lingo.

So you're all, you're trapped by that because if you name it anything else, then people don't know what the fuck you're talking about. I did the worst hockey show of all time with Julie Stewart Binks and Young Page used called Healthy Scratchez. We were like forced to do this. of shows. Yeah, you used to come on from times to time. We wore like, fucking suits because the healthy scratches would wear suits in the top. There was some thought put into that show and it just could have been better, but we also didn't know what the fuck we were talking about.

Like, it was just not a great show. And we used to get and made fun of in the middle of the office. We were recorded in the middle of the office. Like Dave would walk by. It's just like, can't, can't have this anymore. And I was, I was such a pizza maker camera guy at that point. I was so in the mix of Dave. The fact that I was on that show is fucking an abomination.

But again, that name is. it's hockey. It's like a pun. It's, you know, you're right. You're like, wear the suits.

That's like the cool gimmick. And you think like that's going to make it go viral. Where it suits like the guys that are healthy scratches. Well, great. Something I don't like to think about. No, this Netflix thing is exciting.

I'm excited that Dan's involved. I'm excited as a fan, as a viewer, just to watch it because the year was so interesting. I want to see the interviews. I'm with Riggs. I want to see this parts where they're just kind of like in the guys. houses and they're just yeah it's stuff that you don't see that's the fucking interesting stuff man we don't

we don't need to learn anything like i think you're stressing over like if someone's watching are they going to get this isn't like um like a 60 minutes like oh my god you're not going to believe what we found after a year's worth of filming and like digging this is just all the stuff that we already know happen in a more in-depth view which is what a yearly recap show should be it's that's what it is It's a yearly recap show with no, with no boundaries. Like there's no, there's no tape. It's just like you get to watch what we've always wanted to watch. There's no bleeping out curse words and there's no, you know what I mean?

It's just like the stuff we want to see. To be clear, this is not a show for us. We know everything that happened. But we are going to watch. And that's a show for us. No, it's not. It's a show to get people to be more interested in golf. Like it's going to be a recap.

Like for the most part, because the only, but it's a recap for, for us because we follow it every week. We do two podcasts a week about this sport. We know things that are happening. There are going to be things that we don't know. Like during these interviews, the reactions like Riggs was talking about. But overall,

we know that, you know, these handful guys went to live. Roy won the tour championship. Roy was kind of the spokesman. Like those are going to be the big points that they hit. So for a person who doesn't follow golf, that's going to be new information to them.

And it's going to be super, super fucking. I just don't know how many people don't follow golf. who will want to watch. Like there was a huge segment of sports fans who don't, who didn't watch F1, right? And so those are natural like target audiences. People who have no idea of golf are those same people going to be attracted to

watch the show? Yeah. I think so because like, dude, I didn't, they'll give it a shot. That's the thing is I think they'll give it a shot. Because we're all the same. You scroll through fucking Netflix or whatever you're at for hours looking for something

to actually watch. And like, so I think that will be front and center of like, oh, this is okay. Drive to survive-ish, like, cool. Like, I did that with the tennis one. Or, you know, I did that with Formula One, like a lot of other people. I think they will do that.

I also think, like, we're laughing. Like, we're such hardcore golf people that, like, we're not going to be able to enjoy. Like, this is probably the first time we talked about golf since, like, September. So it's not. I don't think I saw a single golf shot live this last weekend. So, like, everything next year's show from that, I'll be like, oh, amazing. Also, like, you keep looking. I think you're looking at it from an informational standpoint.

Like, sure, it might not be catered towards us from an informational standpoint, but it's absolutely our show catered to us when it comes to like the enjoyment of seeing the guys that we literally talk about day in and day out do things that we've never get to see them do. That's like who this is catered to. It's like, do you want to see Justin Thomas sitting in his like in his house? Like to the person that doesn't know Justin Thomas is, how is that special? But to us, it's like, but to us, it's like, holy shit. We get to see what their houses look like.

We get to see them on the phone with like live and like all this stuff. Like we get to see the conversations in the locker. Maybe like all the looks that like Rah maybe gives like Bryson or something like as he walks by him. Like that to us is so much more cater to us than the person like next door that's never seen a golf shot in his life. But we better hope that the person next door who has never seen a golf shot is interested in those things too. Because overall that you want to bring more people into the sport. F1 Drive to Survive brought way more people into the sport. Like we, the nuances that we are going to see are going to be hopefully interesting to everybody because you've got to set the table and be like, these guys don't like each other or these guys like each other.

Try to Survive gets a free pass of getting everyone to enjoy it just because of the sport and the nature of it. I think you guys mentioned that at the beginning. It's just like beautiful and like chaotic and you kind of watch it because like you feel cool watching it. You're like, oh, I'm about to learn about a wild sport where guys go like, 200 miles an hour and like they get off the track and they throw helmets at each other. You're kind of just like, that's a wild fucking sport. I don't know that golf's going to really hit people like that where it's like, oh my God, what's this sport where guys are hitting the white ball around?

It is interesting. Is it really going to shock people? One thing I think that's going to be really cool. I think guys are are going to be way more willing to talk shit about other guys in this show than they would be in like a press conference. I hope that's true. Because I think there's just something about the Netflix. which really doesn't make much sense because if you talk shit about someone on Netflix,

it's more people are going to see it than if you talk shit about someone in the media center. But for some reason, like Netflix has that sex appeal, man. Like it just does, you know, they're, they're willing to let those guys and say things to those guys because they trust them that they're going to use it in a storytelling way, that it's not going to be just like a bullshit cheap shot. There's a level of trust that I think also these producers were at basically everything. And it was like the same six or seven people, shout out to the Dan's and Pat and Ella. Like those people were at every single tournament.

So the players became very, very comfortable with them. Yeah. Yeah. I would say, though, I think there is, I do think they're going to need to include. And if they do it right, it could really like resonate and intrigue people. Some of the intricacies about golf, like I think if they talk about guys using like full swing simulator and trying to carry the ball an extra 15 yards by improving this. I think that will resonate with people and people will want to know that versus just

seeing somebody stand there and swing at a white ball. And I remember in Drive to Survive when they would talk about the little differences in the car. You would see Hamilton back in the garage with guys for like 10 hours straight trying to get something right. I remember when Kobe, RIP, sat down with Dan and Arod and he was going in depth. And I'm the least basketball guy ever in depth about like how he defended people and studied so hard on a guy that could only, he could go left, 50% as well as he could go right. And Kobe would drive them left.

For me, watch a basketball. I just watch these assholes score 110 points a game. It seems like nobody's playing defense. I don't care. Now I'm listening to this being like, holy shit. Like I'm such an idiot. How hard he worked to be. that good at defending day in and day out so that there'd be a six point difference over an hour

of basketball is amazing. And I think that a fan, you don't want to be treated like you're too dumb to understand anything. So they just give you service level stuff. Like you want just enough. And that's what a really good producer and editor has to do with like you're saying, Dan, I'm almost worried they have too much footage that like, who the fuck could go through that and do the best job of trying to entice people with the right amount of in-depth stuff, the right amount of like drama. So it's like you're watching Housewives and the right amount of we want to tell you about the sport so that you understand what's going on in general.

Like that's really, really, really, really hard to do. And it's going to take, I think, like a Herculane effort for them to do it properly. And you just kind of have to hope they have the right team. Yeah, it's like when like the average person here is about Fitsy tracking every single one of his shot. So that's the kind of stuff that makes average fans be like, oh my God, like that's, and that's the same thing with football. You watch these film breakdowns on YouTube and about line play. And you're like, I never thought that these guys just basically

just backed up and you tried to stop the guy from getting the quarterback. So yeah, you're right. There is a lot of stuff. And yeah, I guess that's what they're going to have to lay some stuff out in the first episode. I think they're going to have to like explain what a birdie is, as crazy as that sounds. Because if you watch the first episode of F1, they're going to be like, this is what a Grand Prix is. This is how you get points. I do think that there's going to be like a comment or something where it's like, you actually want to have a lower score in golf. And I, you know, like, I think it might get to that level.

But hopefully it's just the first episode and it's providing that education that you need to then to then go to the next level. I watch a trailer on mute and I'm in. Yeah. I think it looks great. The Netflix cameras are just sexy, man. Dude, they're like angles are like 12K. Yeah.

It's like, I'm in 12K. I'm in. You got me. It's extremely entertaining. There's no way it's going to be anything else. other than entertaining. Like, I'm like,

Roy, sitting down for an interview. Every time gets me, it makes my ball stink. Me too. He's so, he's an interesting fellow. I should be just sat down

with the interview with us. It'd be really cool. We watch them golf in a boring setting. And now we just get to watch them do it on Netflix. It's like cool. Yeah, it's different. Yeah,

it's gonna be great. February 15, check out the trailer, Dan's in it. Your voices have confirmed in it. I watch it on mute. Yeah, I say,

I say winning is so hard on the PGA tour. Nice. True. Which is true. True on that. Trefax. Great time to say that. Really, really topical. All right. A couple more things. Then we'll get out of here. John Rom. I saw it would be a plus 13 handicap if you had posted his last, whatever, 15, 20 scores and then done the top eight, which is the handicap system. He would be a plus 13 handicap. I think I love that because I don't think people truly comprehend, even people that are super hardcore golfers like all of us on this show. I don't think people fully comprehend. that difference because a lot of these guys when you play with them and

Dan knows like their general thing is they play as like a plus five which I get because like if you play match play against people that suck the stroke play versus match play thing really isn't that fair and we talk a lot about it with breaking 90 where it's like if a guy has two or three holes where he might have made a seven eight or nine but the rest of the holes he plays

okay he would have lost by 50 strokes in a stroke play PJ Tour event but he could compete getting only 10 shots or 2015 shots against a PJ tour pro and that made me very much like, oh, he's plus 13, no way. And then I was like, actually, if he, if John Rom played around against an average like, I don't know, five handicap and an average course, like John Rom might genuinely need to give that guy 18 strokes for it to be a match that is one, 50% of the time by one guy and 50% of

the time by another guy. And then another fun fact that we think of is like Alistair because he's played in a few, I think he had to play in like a member of guest or something last year that he got invited to. So he had to keep and post all his scores. And he in like leading up to it played lights out and shot a couple like 602s or something like that. And his handicaps like a plus eight and a half or something when he plays. Wow. So just thinking about like those numbers versus ours and how how shitty we are and our handicaps is very funny. I mean, Capilua is I think rated like 75 or something.

so or 76 from the back t so that's 63 alone right there is is a plus 13 yeah don't don't play against a pro at plus five just don't do it don't know can i can i ask a stupid question now that gives me eight and i i've lost more times than i've won so when i whenever i put out a breaking 90 it's all people just talk to me about tempo they yell at me about my tempo and how horrible my tempo is they're just like you're just you're going way too fast all the time and you got to slow it down and i agree with them it's something that I've been thinking a lot about and how I need to just slow everything down. You watch a Kalamara Cow and it's you feel like you're watching a golf swing and slow motion. And you watch a John Rom, what, what's the tempo talk on him?

Because his is so violent and so short that, listen, I'm not trying to say like, you know, the temple thing isn't true because of what John Rom does, but it just feels like when you watch rom, it's the complete opposite of a Colin Morricah. Rob's swing might be the most natural swing of any great player. It looks like it's had the least, the least, work done to it. I think a lot of it is because he was born with like a club foot on his right foot. He doesn't have that flexibility. So I don't think he can make as big a turn and as quick a back swing. He's just strong as an ox. And so he doesn't need to take it very far. But he's not

the only one. Hendrik Sensen's tempo is really, really quick also. And that guy was one of the best ball strikers in the world for 10 years. So it's about matchups. Fitz is his crazy fat. Yeah, Fitz is Whippy as well. And when they, and Bryson when he hits driver. So I think the tempo is important for for an amateur to feel like they're in sequencing. But these guys, I think, you know, if it ain't broke. So that's what I was going to say, Trent, is I think tempo, and this is one thing that I really struggle with when I'm hitting like shit too. I think tempo for guys like us that like we just clearly don't use our body correctly a

lot of the time. It's like armzy and fucking torsoy. It's like if you slow down your tempo, your body will naturally start to use the bigger muscles first and they'll drag the smaller muscles behind. and if you get quick, you get casty and fucking over the top. Like John Rob's not getting casty and over top. Right. Because their hips are so fast through the hitting zone.

That's that their body's able to keep up. Right. I don't use my hips. Go. My hips are still. Going slower, like, going slower, like, allows you to be lucky just a few more times in our sense of the game of golf. Yeah.

Like things just kind of align. That's kind of what Tiller was talking to you about. Right. the breaking 90 where like if you just go slower you have more of a chance of getting lucky where like your hips will actually rotate you're the middle of your body will meet up with your your arms as it makes impact but if you're fast you're taking all that chance of it ever lining up out of the picture it's always going to drag but if you go slower it might once in a while do it feel versus real is is so it's such a mind fucking golf where all i'll think to myself in a video like

oh, I went slow here and it is lightning fast. And I like, I almost can't, it's almost physically impossible for me to go as slow as I think that I'm going in my head. But I know that's kind of where I have to go. During that episode, we were like, go go so slow that it's embarrassing and you couldn't do like you couldn't even, you couldn't even do it once in like a bay where like didn't matter. Like you couldn't even like you couldn't go as slow as you possibly could.

your brain refused to allow you to try and do that right like in my head i'm calling morocow right now but in reality i am a speed demon right i got this is not real feel versus real is is laughably true and it's very embarrassing like when you're working on something and you're like whoa i exaggerated the fuck out of that that was that's got to look like closer and then you look at it's just the same the whole like everything was just the same and shitty you're like well what how come I can't just do it? I'm watching all these people. Just do it.

My favorite feel versus real thing is, as I asked Matt Wolf once, and he was like, my back swing feels completely normal, like completely normal. In my head, I'm doing exactly what everyone else is doing. Jim Vierich says that too. He said the same thing. He's like, my back swing, my swing looks just like everybody else. It's identical in my, like, that's how I'm swinging it.

Straight. Right. Not even close. Maybe. Back through, baby. Right. A film of Jim Fierick swing didn't exist. He'd watch Freddie couples and be like,

like that's what I look like. Exactly. Is that me? Is that the guy's taller? That's not me. It's really interesting. A big, big tidbit I saw for our for the cut bet. This is to Frankie's choice, Adam Scott.

I saw Dan's former employer's website, Golf Digest, a headline that just says, Adam Scott says his water time with surf legend Kelly Slater always becomes an enlightening experience. He's going to play well. So what I'm talking about, the guys kind of changed his vibe over the last year. This new, you know, this coming of age, he's no longer the shades of brown and muted pages. I watched that.

Hopefully. He's no longer the muted mushroom. He's just, he's going to really change. He's really changing everything about him. And I really like Adam Scott going into this year. Watch out for Adam Scott in 2023. You know, when a guy's talking about surfing, there's been a shift in something. And he'll talk about how, like, I'm in tune with the earth.

I'm riding the wave of the gravitational pull. Surfing is a lot like life and that you got to, when you see a good wave, you got to catch it. And you got to take that opportunity. That feels like the mode that Adam Scott is in and I'm into it. You know what's cool about Adam Scott? And I've heard this also from players is like, you never see him. He's at the golf course and then he's gone. That's true.

There are certain restaurants where guys go. There are certain clubs that guys hang. out at, we saw him. We saw him in a restaurant, actually. That's really, that's really a brutal, brutal. No, no, no. I agree with you. He is the one guy who I honestly can't even picture off the course outside of the Indian

restaurant that we saw him in Scotland at. But outside of that. He said a table right next to us. Right next to us. We saw him all over the place. He's not an off the course headline guy at all. Like, I don't know what Adam Scott does. I'm pretty shit shaking right now.

I'm kind of stop. It was, Dan, it was like a week before the open. And St. Andrews. is a tiny town and like people weren't even really in town yet so okay but like you're never going to see him at like the you're not going to see him at the bears club you know with all the like he's he's just not one for the scene he does he goes he doesn't job and he needs to the show to scour all their friend groups and just give me a picture of adam scott at the bears club right now right and just get him like it is also funny because after we saw him at the indian restaurant um frankie

then saw him at st andrews which makes sense i suppose but he frankly just ran into him and took a picture with him. So, man, we see Adam Scott. We took a picture on the bridge. It's like with the ridiculous sunset in the background. Some of the funniest pictures I've ever taken. So random. You guys were like,

everyone went back to the hotel and I just went out there to FaceTime my dad and show him like the 18th scene, 17, show him the road hole. And as I'm walking by the bridge at St. Andrews, there's just Adam Scott kind of just meandering around with all of those dogs around. And he's just like walking around. I'm like,

Adam Scott. He's like, yeah, what's up? And I was like, all right. And then I was on my phone face on my dad. dad. My dad was like, is that Adam Scott? I was like, yeah, I was Adam Scott. And then I was like, you want to take a picture on the bridge? He's like, yep. We just did. And then someone like,

his guy just like took a photo of us and like texted it to me and it was over. And then I never saw him again. Amazing. Well, he's enlightened this week because he gets to, uh, gets water time with surf legend Kelly Slater. So he's pumped about that. Um, reminder to hurry, if you're listening to this early, early, early of the morning on Thursday, but the for the cut bet under exclusives on the Barcelona sports app. We got Adam Scott, Zach Blair, Matt Coocher, and JJ Spahn to make the cut boosted to plus 425. So let's get that puppy going at the Sony Open.

Anybody have anything else? I think we're pretty much good here. I had a comment just about the California storms and flooding that's been hammering some of the more famous golf courses and regions in America. I saw moderate Peninsula Country Club was getting like wiped out by tidalways. It's a real scene. everybody's as safe and sound as they could be our friends over in California. There's a video of the 16th green at Cyprus, the famous hole, where it looks like

something straight out of the day after tomorrow. The waves are like crashing on the on the cliffs behind it. California's getting pelted. Does you might know the science behind this? What did I see some kind of like certain special story? What's going on? My parents are living in California. They said it's being called on the local news as an atmospheric river.

That's bad. Anything atmospheric. on that level. It feels like a made-up term though. Bad. This is why you got to buy farms in Iowa. Yeah. Of weather like this.

I think that's right. California always just stuns you with some of the stuff that the environment can do out there. It's the most beautiful place ever. And then all of a sudden just like crazy movie like stuff happens. But you remember the videos of the fires that were like right next to the highway? The fires are insane. Like the earth literally just like cracks open and fall. Things just like fall into it.

It's wild out there. It's fucking wild. wild out there. Yeah. It's like on tectonic. It's on plates, right? Is that why? Yeah.

It's right on the edge. What's that, what's that plate called? San. Uh, San Andreas. San Andreas. San Andreas fault. They made a movie with the rock, I think, right?

Yeah. San and Dreas's fault is into buildings. Basically just a giant crack in the earth because two massive tectonic plates come together. And that like, I mean, that thing, if you really looked at it, that thing in the theory, just cracks and shakes by if you if you looked at the long term like amount of time that earth has been around that thing cracks and creates havoc all the time like if we see it like if it happens once every 50 years we're like oh that's once every 50 once every 50 years over the course of billions of years

all the time all the time there's just chaos and they expect it to go off again there's this famous article called the big one that was all about like there's going to be a massive massive earthquake in the Francisco area that's going to be catastrophic. All right. Fine. We'll all move to Iowa. Let's do it. Let's all just move to Iowa.

It's fine. It works out for me great. But yeah, I mean, what are the natural disaster? Just like tornadoes. Tornados. That's about it.

Yeah. Tornadoes. Tornadoes fuck up the Midwest, man. They fuck them up. And a couple years ago, Cedar Rapids got hit by maybe the worst derachio in history. And it turned, it took down.

Worst what? Yeah. It's, yeah. What's a derachio? It's, this is the thing that it's like, it's basically a hurricane.

on land. It was like a really nasty storm. It fucked up, Cedar Rapids. Bad. Really bad. Tons of trees were gone. A handful of years ago, there was a couple tornadoes that went through St. Louis

and actually fucked up the St. Louis Airport. One of the terminals got like its roof ripped off and stuff. Yeah. Those things are strike anywhere. But no one in the job. Tetonic plate talk, I don't believe. Are tornadoes ever like, like they literally come out of

nowhere and you don't have time to like, get out or are they typically like worn nowadays i wouldn't say nowhere but like for all intents and purposes if you're just inside your home yeah they would come out of nowhere like you don't but if you're outside you kind of see the sky starting to get a little bit dicey but it's not like it has to be severe storm for like hours and then a tornado might appear like they could kind of come out of nowhere if you're outside on the lead up to a tornado it's creepy it's very The tornado is one of the more creepy movies I've ever seen. The sky gets a weird greenish yellow and you're just like, what the fuck is going on here?

One time we ever seen one person? Yeah. Yeah. Like a big one like a storm chaser one? Okay. No. You saw like the Jesus. Saw a tornado.

A small one. Most of them are very small, but like, and they don't do a ton of damage, but they're very small. But you see a big one like an F4, F5 or something. I mean, if you see it, it's bad news. You need to be gone. They're fucking like hundreds of, they're massive. But one time we were at the Lake of the Ozarks on like this similar boat to the one that we rent them. We were at Table Rock Lake.

We were out there probably in mid-20s or something with a bunch of our buddies. Our parents had left us the boat. We were going to pull it out and drive it back up to St. Louis. And we're out there. And Trent, as we're out there, we start to get some wind and like light rain and like the lake water starts the white cap a little bit. Now white caps out there aren't like 10 foot waves, right? But they're like a couple feet or so. It starts the white cap.

And then we looked up and you saw that hint of like greenish, bluish mix sky with the clouds were in that way where they weren't like, Culeo Nimbus or whatever the fuck. They were like almost like they were, they were like the top of a cave where they were like all, you know, like dripping down. The clouds were almost. And we were like,

holy fuck. And it was any. port in a storm. We went to the nearest dock. We ran into this like convenient store at the dock and they luckily had like, because you guys know that part of the country, the Ozark, they had like a cave nearby that they actually put their like cooler in a bunch of their storage in and we hid in this like cave for an hour or something and came out. Turned out there were a handful of tornadoes in the air. It was fucking horrifying. Dude, there's yeah, there's nothing like that green sky where you're just like, this is going to be bad real soon. Oh, God. Bad news. Uh,

All right. Well, that's all I got. Everybody enjoy your your weekend. The show's coming out on Thursday. I can't remember if it was Tuesday or Thursday show, but it's Thursday show. Enjoy your weekend. Thank you for listening. Thank you to our sponsors. Chevy Whoop and Rocket Money. Thank you to Taylor Made for coming out with the stealth too that Tiger Woods loves. Very nice.
