Welcome to the Greenlight podcast.
We have a great show from Studio J for you today.
Nate Kyle and Chris are in Studio.
We definitely have a blast today.
but to start the show, Nate goes into a little bit of his history. I'll let him get into it.
After that, we talk about the submarine, the Titanic submarine that's mysteriously disappeared.
And then we're talking sports. We talk the College World Series jealous shots. We talk Zion Williamson.
We talk gambling in the NFL. We've got two great golfers, Patrick Cantley and Tony Fee now.
They're joining from the Travelers Championship up in Connecticut.

Tony talks about being a family man on tour and traveling with his family.
Patrick updates us on the Live PGA Tour partnership.
A special Wednesday episode.
Thanks for jumping on with us.
We just had to get this one out.
Thank you all for tuning in.
We will catch you next time.
Please enjoy.
I got a real shit-eating grin on your face.
Is it because we got golf today?
Yeah, we get to talk a little bit of golf, but also just before we went live,
just before
Nate moves his hand away
Just before we went live
You had mentioned that Nate got a really cool
Father's Day. Happy Father's Day to both you
Thank you as well
Nate got a Father's Day gift
Is there a baby here?
So it sounds like he doesn't keep up with
Current events because he was in Italy
Is there a baby here? No
My girl's pregnant
I understand that
Okay so we've talked about this is a code break
Is it a code break?
No this is celebrate Father's Day
when you're not a dad yet.
This is hate.
You might say,
man,
I'm looking forward to my first Father's Day.
Are you saying I'm not...
You might say.
Are you saying I'm not canned for my baby right now?
I am absolutely not saying that.
So why wouldn't I...
What I'm saying is I think it's peculiar that you got a father's,
you got a push present,
like a prior to the push.
Well,
I got a cool Father's Day gift.
Shout out to my girlfriend.
That's amazing that you got a gift from your gal
because that's like,
you know,
it's not a Father's Day gift,
but it's a great gift.
And baby,
I got, I got tickets to see 50 cents.
That's amazing.
Oh, yeah.
When he comes to Nova.
That's a fucking badass gift.
In Nova.
Yeah?
Yeah, I got to look.
Where in Nova?
I have to see.
The White House.
Worrying about being a dad.
He doesn't know.
See, I don't.
I was just very.
Seriously, though, I'm giving you a hard time.
In all, in all seriousness, welcome to the club.
Bristol?
He welcomed you to the club.
Bristol.
Jiffy Lou Blyve live.
Uh-huh.
Giffel L'ubley.
You're going to be a great dad.
You're going to be a fun dad.
We're the guys.
To draw a golf comparison,
we're the guys at the Masters Dinner.
And Nate just walks in with his green jack.
Yes.
He picks his food.
He's got fish filet and the whole thing.
What would you pick?
Would it be?
Because you just polished off another fish.
You get plenty of mega-3s, man.
I was reading about that.
That's good.
Masters' dinner, if I would pick,
I think the biggest Porterhouse.
that they can probably find.
Not those ox tail deals we were eating in Fort Lauderdale?
We ate oxtails every night for a week.
My thing with that, I would just be,
I'm not going to lie, I would be hesitant to put the chefs out of their comfort zone.
You know what I mean?
I do think the master chefs can't handle oxtails, yeah.
Well, maybe not the way that I would maybe like it.
You know what I'm saying?
So, like, I think to get, like, the nicest, the fattest porterhouse that they can find, they're not going to fuck that up.
No.
I would have a...
Is that different than what your electric chair meal would be?
Like, if somebody asks you what your master's...
You know, it's probably similar.
I think I would do research and just see if there's anything.
It might be the same one.
You can't go out after you win the mask.
Yeah.
You spend the whole night on the toilet.
I'm either dying or I'm winning.
Sam Marsh.
Yeah.
Elvis.
Like Elvis.
Uh-huh.
So he died.
On the toilet.
Yeah.
He said,
I was saying I would just try to do research
if I was going to get the electric chair
to see if there's any food that would maybe
make me, I don't know, more like...
Less electric?
Yeah.
Less conduct.
Yeah, like electric retard?
Eat a car.
Uh-huh.
Eat a condom.
That's...
Can you imagine if a guy's about to ride the lightning
and he's like, I need a Michelin.
Yeah, I just want to tie.
I need a stack of Michelin.
You know?
And you just,
Understand it.
Anyways, I think I do soft shell crab for the, I love soft shell crab.
How do you eat that?
I can actually cook it.
How do you, like, do you eat it?
Turns out you don't need to eat it to get that much rubber in your body,
according to some only fans accounts that I've heard about.
Really?
People are eating rubber on.
Sit on mic, microphone.
So, like, you know, the whole microphone stand size something.
Well, oh, you're saying to, you can walk around with that, apparently.
God, why am I getting all these calls right?
People allegedly are walking around with baseball bats in their rectum.
I go soft show crap.
If one was rubber, you might think that it would negate the...
I'm going to the electric chair.
I don't know.
Hey, I'm going to the chair.
Kyle.
While we're on the topic.
Would you come visit me?
At the electric chair?
Yeah, would come watch?
I would watch.
You were never at my games.
I would watch.
Okay.
I'd be there.
Make sure, tell him, don't get him to do it.
Get the experience.
You got to do it.
I'd be like, give him some of my leftover crab.
I eat them too.
I know my guy, Chris, would come visit me.
I would.
So we're talking about the dinner or the actual electrician?
Are you ready to talk about this?
Yeah, because he already did.
Chris, I had to do a two-week stint in Charlottesville, Alamara jail.
Chris also picked me up from the jail.
And Chris came to visit me.
And believe it or not, after Chris came to visit me,
visit me, there were some warnings and guards that were big fans. So after the visit,
they were just kind of giving me, yo, if anyone's bothering you in there, just let us know.
Yeah. Yo, yo, yo, we didn't know you were Chris Long's boy. Wow. So you've never talked about
this. Chris, you have pulling jail. You, yeah. You're, like, I went in to see Nate. That was
tough, man. That was tough. You're a polarizing figure. I know it's two weeks, but it was a long time.
It felt like a long time. And I'm just one of it.
Do they have soft-shell crab in there?
To be honest, not sauce-shell crab, but they have those...
Hard-shell crab.
Oh, what are they called?
Why can't I think of it?
Tuna creations.
Tuna creations.
So they're like bags of like...
Like a baby tuna?
But like they have like spicy buffalo flavored and they have like crab flavored and stuff like that.
And those guys in there, they, they did.
a lot of innovation
with some of the stuff where
realistically, if you had a taste
for saw-shell crab, they might not be able to make
saw-shell crab, but they might
cock-cock something up in there
for it to taste like that. Could they make me
some wine? Oh, yeah.
Yeah, toilet wine. I know. I'm wondering how they made
it in there. Oh, yeah,
it's fermented apples.
Toilet wine, dude. While I was in there,
like a dude, he was
trading like honeybuns
for people's apples.
like because they had hooch brewing and they wanted they were making new like hooch
but unfortunately while I was there they did um they did like a sweep yeah and feds did a sweep
yeah they had to they had to throw it out damn dude that's hardcore do they have to drink their
unburped fermented apple juice i didn't i did not i did not partake since you fucking brewed it you got to
chewed it you know what i mean you got to fucking eat it now have six apple eat the whole hooch it's like
It's like the cigarette thing.
Oh, no.
Smoked the whole pack, you like SIG.
I did not partake in any, any jail.
What was the SIG life?
Like, are they smoking Houns in the thing?
There was no, there was no cigarettes, but believe it or not, there was two.
No cigarettes.
I don't even believe that.
There was people smoking spice, and I watched.
Bad, bad phase.
I watched two people get carried out on stretchers from smoking spice.
That was potentially brought in there, and another inmates wrecked the whole.
Damn, dude.
You want to talk about down bad?
I hope he used to wash cloth.
You want to talk about liking to catch a buzz?
That makes me feel a lot better about myself.
Like, these guys are so hell-bent on catching a buzz.
They're smoking butthole spice.
It's bad.
What's the scariest part of jail?
That you're in there with, that you're in there,
you're in there with people who,
seem like they
have nothing to lose.
Yeah.
So whether they're being serious or not,
like that's scary.
And like,
just like you're saying,
there's people in there with
serious,
like, mental health things going on.
So just the,
uncertainty.
Yeah.
The uncertainty of things,
like when you're just getting in there
not knowing what's going on,
like not knowing that once in a while
this dude's just going to blurt out
and go crazy.
and just like he's gonna be cool.
Things like that is like,
it's kind of scary.
I would have to try you the first day in jail.
You'd be the guy,
because I was looking around there.
You were the head honcho.
It was,
it was a plus for me that I was big
because the area I end up being in kind of,
not the person who,
I wouldn't say is in charge,
but the person that kind of was in charge.
No, like he immediately gravitated towards me.
Yeah, he needed a henchman.
Yeah, like to be friends rather than like try to beef.
And so you were the assistant head guy in charge.
But I felt like he did it strategically because there was a few other guys that like they had respect but like they weren't cool.
And he just didn't want any of those guys me to get cool with any of those guys first.
But it was one of those things where it's honestly, it's honestly.
like being in a summer camp that you don't want to be in.
Or a winter camping would be, too.
That's what it ended up like being, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Last question before we get to like the rest of the podcast.
I did not know you wanted to talk about jail today, but this has been, this has been,
I know it's pretty interesting for the dudes.
It's been some years now.
I didn't even realize this was the beginning of the pandemic.
I got stopped with weed in the film.
Okay, okay.
I can make a rap album.
I just wanted to make sure.
So yeah, I mean, like, this was right before the pandemic.
You went in, and then when you came out, it was like, it was like an apocalypse.
So, so the day, when I got out, it was like January, like 22nd.
I think COVID happened in like February, like a few weeks later.
And it was one of those things I tell everyone.
I was kind of like, it was at the like the worst time in my life when I got out of jail.
Like my life shifted tremendously.
And when that happened, when I got home, my ex-wife had left.
Bank of Clowns cleared.
You know, it's crazy.
I'm the last person to see her.
Yeah, because Chris came to visit me the same day that she did.
I'm the last person to see her.
She was like, you know, she was like, come to see Nate.
She was all broke up about it.
We walked out of jail together.
He hasn't seen her since.
doesn't know where she is.
So,
realistic,
Chris was the last person
to see my ex.
Like,
people are not interested
in following me.
Yeah.
No.
But basically,
I'm not going to lie.
Like,
I was legit,
like,
depressed.
And I say,
like,
the one thing that
kind of got me
out of depression
was the fact that
COVID happened
and, like,
everyone was,
like,
depressed.
Like,
everyone was sitting at home.
Everyone had...
There's an equalizer.
Yeah, like,
everyone had problems.
But,
like,
everything stopped.
There was, like,
no work going on.
Nothing.
like that and it kind of like kind of gave me time like to sit back but damn dude crazy
time crazy yeah crazy what if the last question what about the tv so the tv is like an interesting deal in
there and it's one of those things where i got lucky one night because after being in there like
three or four days someone someone found out that like i used to play football so it was kind of like
you start getting the questions and you start people start working up the nerves to be like hey you ever play against tom brady or
this and that joe montana and during this time when i went in this is when they were doing that three-part doc
about aaron hernandez and so while when i got locked up i think the first two parts already had aired
and like people they were asking me about it because they had been watching it in there and
Does he have street credit in there?
It wasn't that.
It's just that people, they just, they were interested in it.
Like, he was a guy that's locked up, kind of like they were, and we were at the time.
So it was just interesting, like, for them being locked up to see, they're looking at different stuff.
Like, oh, look how, look what that jail gets to do.
Look what they get to do.
It's a funny dynamic because that's the type of stuff they're looking like, oh, like, damn, like, if I was in jail.
It's like when we see another team's training camp.
Yeah, like, what the fuck they got, you know?
Belich has them for at first class.
They have a pool.
Or damn, they got two TVs in there or whatever it is.
And I remember the night of the thing, there was some drag race event going on and kind of like the redneck white boys in there.
Drag race, like auto racing?
Yeah, like the history channel, it's like a history channel like reality show one.
It's like one of like it's like fast and loud.
It's like one of those shows, I think.
And it was coming on at the same time.
and there was like a beef,
there was like a little bit of a beef
about the TV that night,
but we ended up getting to watch
the, um,
the Aaron Hernandez doc.
There was beef, though.
Yeah, there was.
There was definitely beef.
But interesting thing.
American Pickers is in the mix.
I watched the guy before,
um,
before a few guys end up going to the hospital,
I watched the guy
innovatively,
like whatever they,
they were smoking by using a battery that was from the TV remote and a wire to staples.
Yeah, that'll work.
See, that guy is more impressive than Thomas Edison to me.
Dude, to watch him, to watch, to watch, to watch him do this all while being, like, with
his face in the toilet, basically to mass the smoke.
Like, it's the worst way, like, of trying to smoke.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, imagine taking a puff and then trying to like, like blowing and flushing it down the toilet and thinking that it doesn't smell.
Real quick, you guys were mentioning shellfish in jail, like getting to eat shellfish.
Back in the day in Maine, lobsters were so plentiful that that was all they would give to the prisoners.
No way.
They had lobster every day and they were so sick of it that they had like a prisoner riot rebellion.
Probably no butter though.
Probably not.
And with no butter, lobster is just shrimp.
Yeah, well, not even, you know?
Yeah, it's a little over.
All right, so, so that was, that was interesting.
Thanks, Nate, and I'm glad you're good, man.
Were there any glory holes?
Okay.
What?
So, like, I wasn't in a, I wasn't in, I wasn't in, I wasn't an individual pod.
So, like, basically, I was, like, in a big area.
And there was, like, there was, like, 15, 40 or 50 people, like in it.
Okay.
That's a lot.
lot. It's like being, honestly, it's like being locked in a football locker room for two weeks,
like to be totally honest. So it's like a, like a bunkhouse. And there's a lightning delay.
Like a barracks in, in major pain. Remember they all slept in like the one? Yes. It's just like that.
Okay. So it's not little. There was an upstairs and the downstairs. Got it. Yeah.
I'm glad you talked about that. Did you beat anybody up? It just goes to show like, you know,
somebody goes to jail. There's this big stigma about it. Like, Nate's the
I would have had to slap somebody just to say.
He was over a plant and some other shit.
It's just, it's dumb, dude.
It's not good.
It's not cool.
But he's great.
Some makeshift body armor.
Look at him now.
Did you make any body armor?
No, thankfully, I didn't have to do it.
You think anybody's like, man, I love that podcast.
I was in the joint with him.
I don't know.
So anyways.
All right.
All right.
So.
God.
looking at me like so disapproving.
You're like a dad had more of a sense of humor.
I'm just,
all right.
We do layup line.
We do hello.
I'll start with layup line.
I love Curtis Mayfield.
Now you're gone is my favorite Curtis Mayfield.
I'm not a Curtis Mayfield song on my Spotify somewhere.
My layup line.
I love Curtis Mayfield.
I was riding around listening.
Will didn't like some of my music.
And then the shuffle came on.
William Hayes was in town.
And Mayfield came.
came on and he was like, this is what the fuck I'm talking about here, home.
So we bonded over some Mayfield, Guam.
Hello!
No, you know, we have, we're big in Guam, man.
We busted out the global map.
We got like a war room here with like a big map like we're in the Navy.
Yeah, and it's got sonar and there's a little glow down to Guam.
How deep does your sonar go?
Well, that's good you ask.
We should talk about the Titanic people.
But yeah, Guam, nowhere near what's going on at the Titanic.
Nova Scotia, Titanic.
We have no pins off of Newfoundland.
There are people listening in Guam,
and to you guys, we want to say thanks
and glad you're free from the Japanese.
Yeah, what up, Guam?
You're welcome. That's a word of.
We got some bad boys.
I don't know how you feel about that.
We got some bad boys and girls over there in Guam,
some military over there, right?
Yeah, and shout out to them too, Kyle.
The Titanic thing.
We just hit that right now.
Iceberg.
They had 98 hours of oxygen when it started,
41 hours left
for people that don't know
who are not online
because I know there's a lot of people
listen to this pod
that are like not online
which is cool
you probably don't know about
the submersible
that's gone missing
I am out on submarines
okay this is a program
yeah I barely go underwater
and the pool
let me say this
this is
the safest submarine
you could be on
is it
well the CEO
or the fucking company's on it
and so is the richest guy
And in Britain.
But look, can we, can we read the, can we read the, the disclaimer?
I mean, the, I know.
It's not totally safe.
Bro, the release form.
Yeah.
It's crazy, the wording of it.
Have you ever looked at a release form at a fucking carnival?
You know, before you get on Skymaster?
Small font.
Yeah.
In the release form, it says that you may endure emotional damage.
Well, yeah, no question.
Yeah, because it's your claustrophobic.
because it's a 20-foot submersible homes it also it also stated this experimental vessel has not
been approved or certified by any regulatory body and could not not say why if you're that rich
why would you agree to go on this like why is controlled by a fucking why is this a good idea
Game controller.
Exactly.
Hilarious.
The controller.
They're down there playing God of war now.
Bro.
I'm not trucking.
I hope they got PlayStation.
I'm serious now because you think about the time.
For sure.
All I think about is the poop situation in that.
Oh, I didn't think about that, Kyle.
Like, you can't, yeah, you just air it out.
Good joke, John.
Wow.
Yeah.
Yeah, they can't shit down there.
But who's the guy down there?
They can't see either.
Oh, they can't see?
I hope they have a camera inside it so that later on we can see the footage like
Yeah, because they're coming out.
They have to like they're coming out.
We're going to go get them.
We're going to go get them.
Now there's a boat in Boston.
The problem here is they're 13,000 feet below the.
The sonar that the Coast Guard has can ping past 13,000 feet.
So they will be a deep water boat.
They will be able to find something, but I'm not sure.
Is it in Boston?
Giddy up.
Yeah, we'll get the duck boat in water.
Get Grog out there.
The one thing I can say that's good about the YouTube culture.
I bet you there's a guy who's on YouTube and they're going to help solely for the clout.
And hopefully with enough people working together.
Remember the boys you got stuck in the cave?
In the MH370, how could you forget, Kyle?
Remember the Chilean miners?
They didn't think they were coming out.
These people are coming home, Kyle.
And, you know, if they don't, Netflix is all over it.
Because I saw MH370, they made a whole fucking documentary about it.
And they didn't even know anything.
Yeah.
You don't know anything.
At least we know the.
area and you know it's probably next to the Titanic let me ask you
definitely not in the time why don't they have two of these things one of the that's the
question I have because like well nobody can go where this thing goes so how about
make a second one dude with all your money so there's a guy that's on there that like
he goes exploring and I think supposedly he's been to space before and I was
going to ask not not not saying that I like I hope he dies like or anything like
I'm not saying that.
Do you think that for this guy, realistically, if this is a way, the way like he might perish,
like, do you think, like, is justifiable, like, for him?
Like, he's exploring.
He's seen space, and now realistically he's going to see the depths of the ocean, like, on his way out.
Do you think that, like, he'll, like, hey, I'm an explorer.
Like, if I'm going to have to pick a way to go out, this is probably his way.
The enlightened state.
I just hope nobody's like, it's all dark down there and quiet,
and somebody's like, hey, Peter, what was better?
Space or here?
Or he's down there.
It's like, yo, this is just like space.
Yeah, except there's no...
Well, it's not like the movie Gravity, you know?
I don't know, man.
I think it's a terrible way to go.
It's got to be one of the worst ways to know.
But here's my thing, too, like, doesn't it, like, at some point,
I don't know if this is right or not, like,
wouldn't it, like, the air pressure, like, crush them or...
No.
No?
Well, once it, once the pressurization runs out, they have...
It should be built, the submarine should be built to withstand the pressure at...
Even if, like, but like, oh, so we know where they're at, they're just stuck like there?
We don't know where they are.
That's what I'm saying, so what if it goes past that?
I have a question about currents.
Are there currents all the way down there that could pull them along?
Oh, I would betcha.
Yeah.
But they know the direction, probably.
But remember, they have their video game controller, so it can send them a moment.
where if they're in exactly i have a fucked okay all jokes aside the gameplay seems a little fucked up
seems like an alpha not even a beta but like right now they have 40 hours of air left for
you know a certain number of people what are we doing well like where is bruce willis
it's down to like four hours three hours and there's six people still on that at one point are you
gonna sacrifice yourself so somebody can live longer uh what how because there's more air more air
absolutely no i was thinking like i'll kill them people are going to be it's going to be
Sodom and Gamora down there.
Yeah, it'll get nasty.
Three hours to go.
What if they rescue them?
There's blood all in the water.
He's got his dick in his hand.
Somebody's hanging upside down,
like David Caridine.
There's species everywhere.
Somebody's like somebody's
where, somebody's got lipstick on.
There's lipstick all over
everybody.
And they're like, we're saved.
I'd rather not be.
You know?
What's the ratio of people in there?
Are there any females on there?
I think it's a bunch of dudes.
Well, you did jail.
Does it matter?
No.
Like, I'm just saying.
They got some crab meat down there.
All right.
That's too much.
They're coming home.
They're coming home.
You wanted an explanation.
That's my explanation, Kyle.
Yes.
And you know what?
Is it okay to laugh like this?
I hope so.
That's what this is for.
It says something about the human condition,
Like the chicken man said.
Like we want those fuckers to come home.
I want them to come home.
But also.
I want to make jokes about it.
You choose your own adventure, man.
You go to the bottom of the sea in a beta stage submersible.
Not even a PS4 controller.
It looked like a PS2 controller.
People are going to get their jokes off online.
Yeah.
And you know, you could say, hey, karma's a bitch.
Well, I won't be in one of those things.
You put the bucket over your head and you go underwater and there's an air bubble.
Yeah.
What if you just took that all the way to the bottom to go save them?
This is the fucking dumbest question I've heard.
I love it.
I love it.
You'll die.
You'll die.
Thank you, man.
All right.
So, anyways.
It would be too cold.
Sports.
Ian Rapport had a tweet.
You know, we were just talking about this with Colt McCoy.
And that interview was a lot of fun.
So go back and listen to that.
But, you know, he had just come out of the league meeting where they say like, hey,
don't point guns at people, don't abuse your wife, like, please, like, try to avoid.
Call us if you're drunk.
Like, well, that seems less obvious than the stuff that they lead with, but the gambling,
don't gamble, you guys reading the news, the whole thing.
It's been kind of cloudy what the actual rules are as far as, like, what the NFL players
have to follow.
In fact, I didn't know all the rules.
When I played, I know all the rules, but I also wasn't, like, gambling.
So don't bet on the NFL.
Okay, seem simple.
That's the one everybody knows.
Don't gamble at your team facility.
They need to bring you in, Kyle.
They need to wheel you in.
While traveling for a road game or staying at a team hotel.
Yep.
Seems simple, guys.
Number three, don't have someone bet for you.
Number four, don't share team inside information.
Yep, I think we knew that one too.
And we all know what that means.
And don't play daily.
What is it? Daily fantasy.
Don't give injury information. Don't give game plan information.
Don't give roster.
You know what I'm saying?
Simple shit.
You know, things like that happen.
Stuff that could give the other team a competitive advantage.
Things like that happened.
Absolutely.
It's the integrity of the gambling market for the NFL.
But like things like that happen.
And what happens from that is the scene in Vegas where I think Josh Allen's out.
He's not out because somebody somewhere said something and somebody picked it up and it got to me.
Number five.
Look, look at this.
So if I'm, for number four, if I'm a player like Marshawn Lynch,
every time a reporter asks me a question, I'm going to say, hey, I think that's inside information.
I don't want to answer that.
And that's why I can't have nice things.
I'm scared to get in trouble for the new gambling rules.
That's good.
What happens if a guy says that the whole season now?
You might have just planted a seed.
Number five, don't enter a sports book during the NFL season.
Okay.
I think that's self.
See, that's the tricky one.
That's what I was saying about the Super Bowl being in Vegas.
So the Super Bowl is still during the season.
You could be at the team hotel that houses a sports book and you can still stay out of it.
Really?
No, because it gets kind of like.
Yeah, you can.
That's on the fringe.
But what happens if you...
If they said stay out of the bar, you would know where not to go.
If I'm the...
The whole lobby, some Vegas places, the entire lobby is a bar.
So that's in the fringe.
But it's not a sports book.
Sports books off to the side.
All right.
Yeah, it is.
What if you're grabbing food?
What if you're sitting at the restaurant in the win,
and the back half of that restaurant is really in the sports book?
And you don't know that.
If someone takes a picture, now you're suspended for a year.
I would be like, show me the receipts and show me the camera footage
of me doing business at the sports book.
I was eating.
You know that guy.
If there's that much of a gray area.
It doesn't say do business.
Yeah, but you're not in it.
Like, I'm eating at the restaurant.
I know, Kyle, but take your risk here because...
I would eat very close to the server.
I would be not on the sign of the sports board.
If I was in the NFL right now, what I'd do is I'd take the video of the guy that fakes like
he's jumping off the balcony and fakes like he's drinking bleach.
And then I'd go in the win and I'd like fake like I'm going to the sports book.
And I'd just walk next to the sports book and play games.
Number six, this one's tough.
Pushes you over the line.
You know, like a fucking Cowboys fan pushes me into the fucking sports book.
And then you're on video in an altercation in a sports book.
I got one.
How about Casey Wolf took Derek Carr like last year?
year kidnapped him and put him in the sports book you know just posed them in there like uh like the movie uh with
with the weekend at bernie yes like dropped him up beside the group i tell you one thing i tell you one thing
it's i don't i don't understand that don't play football don't play fantasy football it's betting bro
like because like oh that's if you win it you win money no but it's daily fantasy if you play fantasy
leagues that's the big word two hundred dollar prize then you're okay college world series
this week. And we've been watching the Jellas Shopport and we had a, we had a team just run away with
that. That's still going on, the College World Series? I thought it ended the other night.
It did for us, unfortunately. Okay, can I just say this? I tried to do it the other day with
Macon and I got too worked up and I said some things that I probably would regret about Virginia
and like what it is to be a cavalier. And I don't want to be like that guy, but I will say this.
Are you playing takebacks?
Yeah, I'm just tired of it, man.
I'm tired of, you know, like our brand, you know, like people look at this and they say,
hey, Virginia's a bunch of wine and cheese people.
That's what they're already saying.
You know, we got beat by guys going to the seminary and Zach Ertz's school.
And, you know, like you could say, hey, everybody's at Barry O's.
That's what I hear.
You could say, hey, this is an intelligence test.
That's what Macon said.
We're too smart to have the jello shots.
Well, that's what people think about us.
we think we're too smart.
You look up on the hill,
it looks like the stock exchange.
Doats and ties up there?
I say this,
what about since the NCAA might change the weed rule,
what happens when someone does a charity for buying joints?
Yeah.
Maybe UVA.
Stanford wins.
Maybe,
no,
maybe it was.
You don't think the guys in Harrisonburg are smoking more weed?
And their mascot is a tree.
The guys of Harrisonburg are getting way more stone than the UVA guys.
No,
but I'm just saying,
like for this, for this, for this challenge.
Yeah.
Maybe, maybe that's our bailout is that like, even though we're at the bottom.
But you guys can drink your weight in water.
Drinking is kind of kind of played out now, man.
It's not safe.
Yeah, it's on the decline.
Except for in Baton Rouge,
Winston, Salem, North Carolina, dude, the land of Steve Forbes.
Steve Forbes came in there and bought a whole bunch of shots.
He must have, dude.
No, actually, the guy, I don't like that.
I don't like that.
Yeah.
They actually cheated realistically because they,
The guy went in there and bought 6,000 shots to break a record.
And he owns Raising Cains and he didn't even go to LSU.
Now, they were already way ahead.
They were way ahead.
But I understand.
I understand now.
You know, why?
Because they had, it was a callback because they had Angel Reese in there.
So he probably owes them.
Angel Reese.
Can we do a callback to Angel Reese's Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover?
You like that?
Strong.
Yeah?
Strong.
Yeah, but yeah, you don't look.
Not too long.
Can't live for too long.
Yeah, anyways, $5 a shot.
This goes to food banks.
National championship effort.
Good cause.
Now, Kevin Backie, bad back, back,
back he did raise the point that he thinks that,
like to produce this many jello shots.
He said, and I quote, like,
is there an assembly line of monkeys making jello shots?
No.
And the volume, he said,
don't get me started on the volume alone
at this amount of refrigeration.
space you would need. So I don't know how they're doing it. I'd love to go to Omaha. I know they've
been doing a long time. Have you never been to the Costco? You know Costco has a nice size party bag
of gelo shots that you can buy that are unfrozen and you pop them in the freezer for about four hours.
And I was four hours though. I wonder if they're flipping the Costco jello shots. I would think
they need some type of help. This isn't some type of like if so if you're making 6,000 shots on the
like right on the spot,
you have to have help doing that.
Yeah.
And I think that they probably did.
Who do we want to win?
What?
Is, uh, is,
like the tournament or the Jello?
The college world series.
Wake Forest?
Wake Forest,
they're the clear favorites.
Yeah, they're number one.
Yeah.
Oh, I think everyone too.
Like, they, they said that the money.
I want to see Wake win.
I agree for ACC.
Yeah.
Who's still in it?
They say the money is going to the food banks
in these particular places.
I think that we need to make sure that a food bank out here is getting a lot of money.
That's true.
Like they should be stopped until the new year.
With all this money, I wonder if it's all of it or if it's some of it
because all these food banks with this amount of money that they're making,
they should be stocked into the new year.
Let's check it out.
I think we should.
So we still have Wake Forest, LSU, Tennessee, and Florida, TCU, and Oro-Roberts.
I want Oral Roberts or Wake Forest.
The Oral Roberts guys have filthy mustaches.
They could meet in the final.
Oral Roberts needs to go on a run.
That is not how I pictured the Oral Roberts players.
You know, I thought that they'd all be like megachurch looking guys.
Really?
Well, yeah, Oral Roberts is like big, isn't it big time religious?
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Oral Roberts is Oklahoma?
Big time religious means big time horny.
I'm not sure if you understand that.
Yeah, that's true.
So they're probably dirty dogs.
A bunch of dirt diglers.
Those guys are dirty dogs.
Orr Roberts in Oklahoma.
Tulsa.
Retroactive number six on my horny athlete drafts.
Orr Roberts baseball player.
Yeah, they're horny.
If you soak, are you horny?
They soak and I got a buddy jumping on the bed.
You're not able to release the tension.
Yeah, yeah.
You got to have a buddy jumping on the bed.
Wouldn't that technically mean you're less horny if I'm able to hold it?
Two buddies jumping on the bed?
No.
No.
No more monkeys jumping on the bed.
All right.
Speaking of horny, Rachel?
You can't say that.
Oh, dynamite.
Speaking of horny, we've got a very horny NBA player
and he's getting all of his read receipts.
Red receipts are getting put out there.
Yeah.
Oh, you must be talking about Zion Williamson.
Hey, you guys guys have to put it out there.
She said this herself, whether it's true or not,
which I think the way all of,
she's exposing everything.
I'm starting to believe about 95% of everything that she is saying and putting out there.
If she legit made him cry by giving him head,
I might understand why he's acting like this because I've never got a blowjob that made me cry, bro.
Like, do you know the extent like that, like, would have to go on?
He's been getting called fat a lot lately.
So, like, to get some really good head, he might just have a release.
And just be like, feel good about that.
No, no, the fact that she's showing.
Cathartic.
The fact that she's showing that he is still contacting her while this is all going on.
Like, yes.
Yep.
I can, like, yes.
That's what I respect about Zion is he's past the point of no return and he's like,
leak the sex tape.
He's like the Roy family.
We don't get embarrassed.
No, but the reason why he wants the sex tape to get leaked is because she's going to get put in jail.
It is a felony.
Revenge porn is a felony.
Oh, yeah.
Everyone knows that.
Yeah, so it's a bluff.
Realistically, it's a bluff.
And for her, it's marketing for her only fans.
That's what it is.
And if I was her manager, I would say get a Zion look-alike and tease something.
You just got to find a 6-7 guy with a head like a square Lego piece.
You know?
We know a lot of them.
So anyways.
No, I just, what about the guys that also.
What did she say about his dick?
Lame dick.
She said that.
He said like he got like lame dick.
Okay, well, what about the guys?
Your dick is trash.
I don't like that.
That's the 5% I don't believe.
Girls always say that after the film.
What about the guys that, you know, maybe came across Mariah Mills that are in the league
and are quaking in their little, their little LeBron's right now?
I'm just glad that he wore it.
What if I get exposed?
They obviously didn't do enough.
They obviously, they obviously didn't.
not do enough to make her fall in love the way she's obviously in love with Zion.
Yes.
Because that's what it's showing also.
It shows, like, she has no way.
He has a sweet side.
Yes.
And she really fell for him.
And I think the fact that she's older, maybe she was like, ooh, I got him wrapped up,
like doing whatever I want.
And the fact that he got someone else pregnant and she knows that puts a damper.
It really, it's obvious that she's very heartbroken.
Well, Zion's supposedly going to get traded to Portland now, and I think that's a good thing.
And it's because in Portland, you know, like it's very cloudy. It's very rainy. And if it's sunny, your body produces less melatonin. And melatonin can actually block your sex drive.
So there's something. Why are you saying Portland? Portland's not real, it's not real sunny.
You think he's going there? You're hornier and sunny weather. That's the rumor. That's the room. Yeah, the rumor is going to Portland.
Oh, 100%. Now also, Portland has more shirt clubs.
per capita than anywhere in the United States reporting to Ralph who cuts our socials.
I don't know, what's next?
Like, you know, I'm thinking, are we going to see in a year like an Antifa gal pop up?
You know, I'm going to leak the video.
You put in that Molotov cocktail where it's not supposed to be.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Like, what do you think the NBA would not, like, approve what trade?
Like, where would you want?
He'd be too horny.
Yeah.
It would be like there'd be, you know, see him on a light.
Okay, or better yet, if he doesn't go to Portland, what would be the next two spots?
If you were, what is it, Stern?
Trying to keep him not horny.
Silver.
Silver, Stearn's dad.
Yeah, my bad.
Rest of these.
I spit my water out like David Stern.
Yeah.
What next two teams?
Milwaukee.
Oklahoma City.
Milwaukee.
I think Oklahoma City was so virgin energy that when James Hardin got to Houston, that's what, like,
turned him out, that he was like the kid that never got to go out.
So, like, I think Oklahoma City's up there.
You know, you don't want to go Charlotte, because Charlotte's a lot of fun.
What about the jazz?
The jazz? Utah?
No, the Mormon gals.
He would be floating.
He would be floating.
He would float.
I have a sex tape of Zion Williamson.
His fat ass would be too bad down there.
And is that porn if you're floating, so revenge porn could be in play there.
I don't know.
So kidding.
The third, I think Sacramento.
I know is probably pretty tough.
Sackdown.
Milwaukee.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
You said that?
Put him in Milwaukee.
You know what Sacramento translates to, right?
With the Greek freak?
What, Kyle?
loosely.
No, I mean, do you think about it?
Okay.
Back down.
Okay, Kyle.
All right.
Not Sacramento.
No, I just, Zion, I hope he ends up somewhere
where he's not going to be horny
because this is beginning to be a distraction, I think.
It turns out wherever he is,
he can bring them in.
So you could put him in Russia and he's going to bring it in.
So a little treat today for those of you who golf,
who love the beautiful game.
Losing golf balls.
What do they call it?
Is there a name for golf?
Golf.
Like soccer, they call it the beautiful game.
Oh, the long game, the impatient game, the...
Is it the gentleman's sport?
It can be the gentleman's sport until you've had, you know,
X amount of cocktails and start losing golf.
falls and the four-letter words start flying.

Good news. The Thursday show we do with Amp
will continue 430 every Thursday,
the Greenlight team, Cowboy Reed, Facts, Kingston,
I'll pop through there sometimes.
On AMP, you can interact with us really easily.

we're going to be doing what we've been doing all fall every Thursday at 430 on amp. Check us out.
All right, so we got golf on the docket today. We got a couple great golfers joining. One that I've
actually watched play. Guys, awesome, Tony Fienow. He's getting ready for travelers. And I appreciate
him joining. Tony, how you doing, man?
I'm doing good. Thanks, Chris. Thanks for having me on, man.
Of course. Like, with the Wyndham Clark thing, man, like, diving right into it.
You know, I kind of tracked it. He was not somebody that I expected to win that, that, that, that,
open. When you're playing as somebody who people figure are going to be, you're going to be in
the mix. You're one of the better golfers in the game. Do you, do you, does this come out of nowhere
for you? Are you aware of Wyndham Clark? Do you guys track the, the, the, the,
up-and-comers, the guys who maybe just won a tournament, who might be within striking
range at a big open event like that?
Yeah, I mean, you know, personally, I know I've known Wyndham for a long time.
We had the same coach for a while, and then he left, you know, my coach, Ford Summerhays
maybe about 18 months ago.
But I've known, I've known of him for a long time.
He's a great player.
But he's just had a heck of a year.
But, you know, it's a crazy game that we play.
You know, golf is funny that way.
You know, it's not like tennis where the top ranked guys are going to be in the semifinals and finals every single major.
You know, it's quite different in our game on any given week.
Some guy can get hot and win a big golf tournament.
It's not the most likely to get someone that's ranked, you know, 100 to win a major championship.
But it's not like it's never happened before.
So, you know, I would say the window's not a big surprise.
He's won a big tournament earlier this year.
and now he's starting to prove that, you know,
he's got what it takes to win big golf tournaments.
So it was quite something to see.
He's a great player.
How much harder is it for somebody like Rory
who's chasing that, you know, that major
and it's been a while and you know everybody's probably rooting for Windham
because it's like a storyline sport?
In my sport, you're not thinking about that way you play.
You got a lot of time to walk up to the ball
and think about your putt.
Like what's harder, being Wyndham or being Rory in that situation?
Yeah, well, you know,
Rory hasn't won a major ongoing on almost 10 years now.
And that, if you were to told that to somebody back when he won his fourth major in 2014,
I think people would be like, he's either had to be injured or retired or something.
There's no way that he would go this long without winning a big major tournament.
So the pressure, I think, maybe it's starting to build a little bit with Rory,
but you also have to look at it as, you know, he's someone that has won four majors already.
You know, I know that he wants to win another one.
but, you know, depending on who you are, you know, I know
Rory's a great player at some point, you know, he is going to knock off another major win.
He's came really close over the last couple years.
I know he has three or four seconds in the last few years, so he's coming really close,
but I would say there's probably still more pressure on someone like Wyndham who hasn't won a big one.
Yeah.
And while you're watching this stuff, like you're golfing.
I don't know how it works with y'all.
at what point do you say okay I'm out of contention in this thing you kind of switched to I'm hitting the golf ball and I'm watching you know like I heard maybe Rory or somebody said Ricky actually said that he was he was streaming at the Masters like late in the round because he was out of it and he wanted to see who won like are you do you become a fan a little bit and are you able to be a fan and focus on your job yeah I'm definitely a big fan of the game you know I love following especially just the big tournaments um seeing how
guys are going to play under pressure and, you know, how the tournament's going to go under,
you know, over the last few holes and under pressure. So I enjoy watching it. You know, I knew I was
pretty much out of the golf tournament early on Sunday. You know, I knew I had to make a pretty
hard push early, make some bird as early if I was going to make any type of run. And I didn't
do that. So I knew I was out of the golf tournament pretty early. And then you just kind of watch the
board and see how guys are doing. And then as soon as I finished, you know, I went to the hotel,
turn the TV on and watch the guys finish up.
So I'm a big fan of the game.
I love sports just in general.
And I love watching what guys do under pressure.
And in the highest,
highest stake moments in sports,
you know,
I see you start to see what guys are really made of.
Well,
I know you're Dallas Cowboys fan.
Is that right?
Yeah,
yeah,
Dallas Cowboys fan,
that's right.
How do we feel about this year real quick?
It's been a tough goal,
really,
my whole life,
you know,
you just missed all the good stuff.
stuff, dude. I literally just missed. I was like three years old when they won the,
when they won their last one. So that doesn't really count. It's been a rough go, but I'm a
loyal fan. So I'm excited about the year, but it's hard to, I don't know if excited is the word.
It's hard to be excited as a Cowboys fan because your anticipation every year seems to be pretty
high. And then you end the year with disappointment. But I am a true fan and, you know, we'll be
cheering them on again this year.
You got a favorite player on the Cowboys?
Well, I got to meet Troy Smith and Dak Prescott.
Oh, yeah.
I think, yeah, yeah.
So big fans of both of theirs, I think they're both, you know, great players,
but do things the right way on and off the field.
Those are the only the only couple guys that I've actually met in person outside of that.
You know, I'm a fan of all the guys.
I think they got, you know, CD Lambs, great player.
They got some good pieces over there, but those are the two only guys that I've made.
in real life. So I would say I'm a bigger
fan of theirs, yeah. So, you know,
where were you when Rory
had that ball sunk in the
in the grass there? Like, were you aware
of that? You guys all aware of that rule? Because it
feels like in real time, people on Twitter are like
what the fuck do we do here? Is Rory cheating? Is it not
cheating? Like, I've never heard of this rule.
Like, what are you all thinking in real time
while that whole thing's going down?
Yeah, my wife was telling me the same thing. I can't believe Rory
just got a free drop from there. So
the rule is basically basically, it's
an embedded ball.
As long as it's not in a hazard,
so the bunker is considered a hazard,
since it was outside the bunker,
still in grass,
if your ball flies into a hole and doesn't bounce out,
you get a free relief,
you get a free drop for them.
You get a full club length,
no closer to the hole from that position.
So if you're a golfer,
you know that rule.
I could see someone if they were watching
for the first time or not familiar with the rules,
how they could say that was unfair.
But it was a legal drop by all means.
And, you know, at the end of the day,
there still didn't cost to win them the tournament.
So, you know, people talked about the difficulty of the U.S. Open course there.
And then travelers, I know, you know, has got some difficult aspects to it.
How do you all scout in your sport a course?
Like, I know you have practice rounds,
but is there anything in the classroom?
Are you watching something on TV beforehand?
Are you studying that course more than we might expect?
Yeah, every week has its challenges.
because every golf course has its challenges.
This week at the travelers.
It's a golf course that's pretty straightforward right in front of you
until you get to the back nine.
The last few holes, I think, are amazing.
Some of the best finishing holes in all of golf.
And then for me, you just see how the golf course is playing.
Is it going to be firm this year?
Has there been a lot of rain in the area?
You know, a lot of golfers turn into weathermen, you know,
me or us and our caddies.
You know, we were trying to figure out, you know,
how much has it rained over the last couple weeks?
Just so we have an idea how the golf course is going to,
going to play. But for the most part, you know, I'm entering, you know, my 10th season on tour.
So these are a lot of courses I've played many times. And the biggest thing is just understanding
how the golf is going to play that week. And a belated happy Father's Day to you, man. I hope it was
fun. I know, yeah, you got some kids running around and you're taking your family on tour.
Like, how special is that to take your kids on tour and to watch them, kind of watch you?
I know your son was what was streaming the Warriors
Turned to Tour.
I saw it out.
I was like, yeah, that's my dude.
I love that guy.
What's it like having, you know, your family on tour with you?
Yeah, well, it's organized chaos.
That's what I'll say.
It's like a traveling circus, but it's a lot of fun.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
My kids are at an age where they love being around mom and dad.
We love traveling together.
And I'll take advantage of that for as long as it is that way.
I love having my kids around and it's a dream come true for me to be able to play, you know,
play a game for a living and do what I do, do what I love for a living and to have my family
along for the ride, this makes it even sweeter.
Do they fanboy over any golfers not named Tony Fienow?
And do you, have you ever fanboyed over meeting a golfer?
Yeah, I mean, when I first met Tiger, you know, Tiger, VJ Singh, Ernie L's, these are all guys
that I looked up to playing golf since I was a kid.
So when I first saw them, I definitely pangroled over it.
But my oldest son is a huge golf fan, and he's more into the game.
I would say he follows more closely the game than I do.
So he loves all the PJ tour players.
He knows just about everybody.
And so whenever he hasn't met one and seen them for the first time,
he definitely is blushing a little bit just because he knows who they are.
Last question for you, and thank you for the time, man.
I know you said you missed your buddies in the wake of the whole live thing.
You know, where were you when that news broke?
Did you learn in person?
Did you learn on social media?
And then, like, how do you feel right now about the future golf?
Yeah, it's a strange time.
It's a weird time, no question.
I was just at home when the news broke just, you know, just over a week ago on the potential merger.
I think we're still learning exactly what that means.
I know the deal hasn't been done yet.
So it's a strange time.
But I will say as a player,
It's our responsibility to try and get it right right now for the future of the game.
And I don't know what it's going to look like, but we have a say in what it will look like.
And so we got to get it right for the future of our game and the future generations.
So we're going to try our best as players to come together and do what we feel like is going to be the best for our game.
Tony, good luck at Travelers. Thanks for coming on. Man, this has been a treat. I hope you come back soon.
I appreciate it. Thanks for having you on, Chris.
Yeah, brother. Take it easy. Nice meeting you.
You too.

I'm going to do it in real time.
Okay.
Reed knows everything about golf.
He doesn't bet a lot, but he keeps on picking winners,
like multiple tournaments throughout this year he's picked winners.
It's fucking bullshit, Reed.
I've just started listening to him.
Reed, who do you like this week?
It's all luck, and I have never bet a winner.
I just give them all to you by chance.
But despite, I don't know, Scotty, you can always bet on Scotty.
Plus 550, where I'm seeing it.
So, you know, not the biggest.
You just told me, I got to listen to Reed.
He's like, you can always bet Scotty.
You say no.
Well, I see him at plus 650.
That's why.
You see him at plus 650.
So the odds there, you know, we're out in the deep end now.
We don't have a gambling sponsor.
You know, somebody,
shop around.
Somebody hit me up this morning.
It was like, man, I don't even know what to do with myself without hearing
bet big win bigger.
Yeah.
You know, well, I'm still gambling.
Scotty Sheffler plus 550 John Rom
plus 750
Rory McElroy plus 800
Patrick Cantley plus a thousand
Our guy here
He's not a bad pick
Okay
You also have
Well and it's a four day sweat
That's the thing you got to get into
Because like when you bet something
Let's say Wednesday night
You get four days of sweating it up and down
With like possible mistakes
It's a great sweat
And you can live bet
You know different golfers
Yeah
And it's cool because you don't have to pick
Like an outright winner
you can like kind of parlay guys together like top five top 10 um you can do head to heads
which are fun uh like who's going to shoot a better round to the round leader um for full you know
winners cameron young at plus 5,000 he is he's been nearly touching the podium on a couple
tournaments this year he is really ridiculous length and then uh sahith the gala is a super young
golfer he is not he calls himself overrated but he's ridiculously good 60 to 1 yeah he is uh
i would not be surprised if he he gets a win how do i spell his name s a h i t h i don't know if he's
on my board it'll be down there a good amount and that's one thing i like with picking the winners in
golf like don't bet one dude no no bet like five dude i'm gonna make money if one of them wins but
i'm gonna budget myself like a few hondo here
and I'm just going to sprinkle it.
I can't wait to sweat golf this weekend with you.
You know, this guy, Andrew Swaboda, is plus 20,000.
You know?
Yeah, I don't know much about...
Andrew, but yeah, you know, shit, throw it on there.
It's like playing the lotto.
Sung-J. M. is also a good pick.
He is a really freaking cool dude, and he's going to win a couple tournaments.
Do you think Wyndham Clark could go back to back read?
Who?
Wind them?
um 50 to 1 it's freaking tough especially coming off a uh like your first uh major and uh major and you know
your your first good showing at a major you know he haven't really done well at any majors
uh that he previously played in um another front runner that uh is always a good bet especially
right now he's playing really well victor hovlin and he's funny he's you'd like him a lot he's a cool dude
he's you know um yeah who do you think i'd like the most personality wise he fowler
victor ricky rickie rickie rickie fowler's a badass he like is a normal dude he stays long
like he lost the most disappointing tournament of his career on sunday stayed for hours
afterwards signing autographs for fans like he's just a good dude he also grew up as uh as a motocross
racer and he was choosing between motocross and you know dirt bikes and golf i know this guy yeah yeah he's
He's dripped out.
He's always wearing orange.
Yeah, he's got that orange.
Yeah, Tiger had the red.
Ricky's got the orange with the flat brim.
Okay, so I'm looking at Fowler, you know, for reasons that we just outlined.
Patrick Cantlay.
I really want to bet Tommy Fleetwood.
I just like his hair.
I know.
He's been on your master's Calcutta team every single year.
Plus 2,200.
He just doesn't win a lot of tournaments.
Okay, he gets close.
He gets close.
He gets close.
So plus 2200.
I would bet
Tony
He always wins a tournament or two
The last couple years in June and July
Okay
He's a safe bet
And you said Sung J.M
Sung J.M.?
Yeah, plus 4,000
Oh yeah
Okay
Okay, so I got Sun J.M
I got Tony Fienau
I got Patrick Cantlay
I'm going to add
Ricky Fowler in here
Throw Ricky Fowler and you'd like
Jason Day too
He's an Australian.
I think you probably would recognize him.
No, I'm looking up Jason Day, Reed.
But, you know, I know what he looks like.
Yeah, would I just bet Scotty Schaeffler just in case the chalky guy wins?
I would throw, yeah, just throw, you know,
I'd put a small amount, like enough to cover my other bets if he wins.
That's good.
Okay.
Cool.
I'm looking forward to sweating some golf.
Let's hear from Patrick Cantlay, and then we'll see you all again on Friday with special guest.
Oh, guys, I'm just going to say who it is.
Okay?
It's Anders Home from Workaholics.
And we just wrapped that interview.
I fucking love the guy.
The guy's great.
I first met him on Twitter telling your mom jokes, like, just randomly.
I forget how we talk about it on the show.
And ever since, he actually, like, I was really flattered by this, was like,
yo, what am I going to get on Greenlight?
He likes the show.
and I actually really like his podcast.
This is important with the boys from workaholics.
And me and Macon have not seen workaholics at length.
Like I watch mostly YouTube clips of this show.
Over the last year or two, I've tried it out online.
And then when I knew I had Durs on,
I was like, I got to hunker down and watch some of this shit.
It's a fucking funny show.
A lot of you are like, yeah, that's news to you.
Well, we talked about that with Anders.
So check that out Friday.
It's like 90 minutes of just bullshit, me making an honor.
So come back Friday for that.
Enjoy Patrick Cantley.
Patrick, I wanted to start with asking you about, like, last week with all the coverage of the open,
the L.A. Country Club stands alone, and it's in all the rules and all the pomp and circumstance,
no phones and all this shit, so many different rules.
What stood out to you as the most out of place rule?
What struck you the most about the rules at LACC?
Well, it was the U.S. Open week, so it was just like another week as far as the rules go.
They're not police and cell phones out there at the U.S. Open or anything.
But, you know, when I was in college, I had planned to go to the course one day,
and I forgot that you couldn't wear shorts.
It was warm, and they make you wear pants out there.
So I had to turn around.
It was only a short minute, a couple minute drive from UCLA, I had to turn around and put some pants on.
Damn, dude.
That would be an easy job to be the guy that has to go and force dress coat.
LACC. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's a pretty good setup. What did you think of the setup on the course?
I know people talked about, you know, the conditions out there, a tough course. It certainly showed up watching.
What did you think about the, you know, the way that course played and how different is travelers going to be for you?
Yeah, travelers will be quite a bit different. Obviously, different grasses and not set up as difficult.
I mean, L.A. Country Club, I thought, played really long. There were a number of holes that played along the par three's.
We're some of the longest, I think we've seen on maybe any golf tournament, any golf course that we've played.
Multiple three wood, seven wood par threes.
And then, you know, the finishing stretch there with every par four over 500 yards.
And, you know, one of them is 545.
So we're hitting, you know, four, five, six irons in even after hitting a T shot, you know, over 300 yards, which is abnormal.
Obviously that, you know, all these these tournaments you're playing in particularly the majors,
when you have to play golf at the top of your game for four days,
if you don't start off the right way,
can you speak to the challenge it is to stay in it mentally
and finish strong and to finish in the top 15 like you did this past week?
Yeah, I think golf's a long time.
It takes four days to play.
And we're out there for five hours a day for the most part,
especially on Thursday and Friday.
And so you just have to treat it more.
like a marathon and not like a sprint. You know, you can have a couple bad holes or bad nine and
still recover. I didn't play that well Thursday, Friday, to be honest, and then played much better
on the weekend. And, you know, I never had a chance really to win with those guys getting off to
such a hot start. Thursday and Friday mornings were the scoring rounds. And I didn't play particularly
well on Thursday or Friday. But I had a nice weekend and try and carry some of that momentum over into
this week. Did I read this right? You had the Travelers course.
record there for a while?
I did, yeah, until
Jim Furek shot 58.
Kind of just
just...
Fucking Jim 58.
What, why do you play
that course well?
And what goes into scouting
we had Tony Fienow on earlier
and I was asking him, what
goes into scouting different courses for
y'all? As football players, you know,
the way we prepare is so different
and you guys are kind of playing against a
venue. It's you and the
venue, what goes into the prep and something that might surprise people about that?
Yeah, I think definitely your first couple years on tour that prep and getting to know the
golf courses and the whole locations that they use is really important.
Now, I think I just finished media and they said it was my ninth start in this event.
So if I haven't figured it out by now, I'm probably not going to figure it out ever.
This golf course this week, it's really important to drive the golf ball in the fairway.
the golf course is short, but there's still a number of holes that you hit driver on.
And so if you can drive the ball in the fairway, you'll have a lot of wedges and a lot of opportunities to make birdies.
How's this swag bag you get from some of these tournaments, man?
Like, what's the one tournament that you come away with the best cool stuff?
Travelers always takes care of us.
They always have something in there for the girlfriend or the wife.
And, you know, sometimes it'll be a bottle of wine or something in there.
And then Pro Am, they always have big green trusses.
ruck pizza out, which is really nice pizza, really good pizza, best of the year. And so they do a great
job here this week. Do you have a routine? Like, you know, like we have game day routines. Like,
what's your golf, you know, match day routine and like the night before and everything? Do you
have particular kind of superstitions or ways you do things? I'm not too superstitious, but I
definitely start, you know, with my physical therapist at the same time before every round,
whether it's a 715 round or a 2.15 in the afternoon round.
And so by the time I kind of start with him, I get into my own routine.
And so it doesn't matter what time I'm really teeing off.
It's the same cadence leading into the round every day,
which I think is important to set you up to feel the same all the time,
which in golf is really what you're trying to do.
What goes into that routine, like physically?
What are you mostly guarding against happening, you know,
like from a training and prehab perspective?
Yeah, just trying to make sure your body's in the right spot to do the motion all day and trying to feel the same all the time.
I mean, for me, you know, feeling golf is so important.
If your club face is just a degree off or two off, you know, that can, when the ball's going 300 yards, that's, you know, quite a big difference.
And so trying to get my body in the same spot every time and having those feels be the same every time are really important.
and so having my PT check me, make sure he's doing the same thing to put my body in the same spot every day before I play is really important, and it's helped me a lot.
I'm a big snacker on the golf course, like your guy, John Rom, eats a lot of PVJs on the course.
I enjoy everything, and then at the turn, I get hot dogs.
What was your order growing up when you would get to the turn?
What's your order?
How do you take your hot dog?
All that kind of stuff.
Chicago question there.
I don't have many dogs out on the course.
course, but I'll eat a peanut butter and banana around the turn most every day out on tour.
What about the lived news and everything? Like, it's really fascinating to me. The way it unfolded,
you know, the way guys were getting that news in different ways. I know the Netflix documentary
was filming and, you know, like I think they had some footage of the meeting. So a lot more to come
out on that. But you've been outspoken. How did you learn and what was your first reaction?
I mean, my biggest thing is that we just don't know enough about this deal to make a determination.
And then, you know, even at that point, I probably need to consult somebody that knows more about, you know,
mergers and acquisitions or investment banking to even, you know, make a determination.
I mean, that's not my forte. I hit five irons for a living.
So, you know, I think right now we're all just waiting with bated breath to see if there's any more info that comes out.
You know, we have a player meeting here tonight, so we'll see what they say in there.
But, you know, I'm on the policy board.
So I'm sure this information will come out.
And, you know, eventually I'll have to, you know, have input in this regard.
And so I have to do my best to educate myself in order to represent the membership as best I can.
You talk about, like, international play, like, and team play more than anything with the live golf deal.
like, you know, you're doing the Rider Cup.
What's it like being on a team and how different is,
is that experience and the strategy involved for a golfer
and kind of like the social aspect of it when you're playing with a guy,
you don't really know.
Yeah, those weeks are really special weeks because, you know,
all those guys are guys that we compete against each other each and every week.
And so to have, you know, the best American players on your team
and to be able to pull for Scotty Sheffler and Sam Burns
and Jordan and J.T. is really cool. And, you know, it doesn't happen very often. So when it does,
I think everyone gets pretty excited about it. And, you know, everyone comes together and really pulls for
each other. I've been fortunate enough to play a lot of matches with Xander Schaughley,
who's one of my best friends out here. And so we get a long grade and have a blast those
weeks. Do you watch the end of the match? Like when you know you're out of it, like you're still
trying to do your best, finish strong. But like,
When somebody wins a match in dramatic fashion, do you get to stream any of that?
Do you guys take breaks and follow the scoreboard?
Or do you just kind of focus on your job?
Can you ever become a fan at the end of a match?
Yeah, definitely.
If our match is finished up or there's a session where I'm sitting out,
and we'll be in the locker room and watching it on TV,
definitely screaming at the TV, you know, pulling for our guys as hard as we can.
Wyndham Clark, was that a surprise to you?
Is there kind of chatter among y'all going into a tournament or, you know, something like the Open where you're like, this guy's been playing really well, watch out for this guy, or are you guys mostly kind of just head down focusing on your job?
I would say most guys, including myself, are head down and trying to focus as much as we can on our own stuff.
But Wyndham's been playing great this year.
obviously he broke through at Wells Fargo and played fantastic last week.
So, you know, he deserves it and has been playing great this year.
So it's not too big of a surprise.
Do you have like a favorite course that you just can't wait to play?
It might not be the biggest tournament, but, you know,
a place that you think is just gorgeous or special to you in any way that we might not,
as, you know, run-of-the-mill golf fans think about.
Yeah, I feel that way about Cypress Point right next to Pebble Beach.
I also feel that way about Pebble Beach.
It's just so beautiful up there and one of my favorite places in the world.
So every time I get an opportunity to go play there, you know, I jump on it.
And you know, my other question would be like you're growing up playing golf.
Now you get to be on tour and meet all these legends.
I mean, you talk about Jim Furek like breaking your course record.
Like I'm sure it's surreal just to be associated with some of these names, but to meet them.
Who have been some guys that have made the biggest impressions on you or maybe that you
fanboyed about a little bit meeting. Yeah, I grew up in Southern California, and so John Cook,
who won on the tour, you know, a bunch of times, over 10 times, was a mentor of mine,
and so I was able to play a lot of golf with him and still count him as a very good friend of
mine. And same for Fred Couples. He moved to Newport Beach, you know, maybe 10 years ago or
something like that. And so we've played a lot of golf, and those are two guys that were obviously
legends and have played, you know, some excellent golf on tour. And so learning from them and being
able to pick their brains and count them as some of my really good friends in the game of golf
has been, you know, an honor and a privilege because they're great guys and excellent golfers.
And, you know, they're a blast to be around. How do you pick your outfit, man? Because you're
pretty well dressed. There's a one thing as like football players, we all got to wear the same
damn thing. You can't be that that, that you can't let that end.
individualism shine. How do you come up with your swag and like how does that decision go from a timeline standpoint? Do you ever throw it together the night before a match?
No, I, you know, I'll have it scripted out by my team ahead of time. That's not anything I worry too much about. I just see what's in my locker. You know, it's in my locker put it on and go.
We've been breaking down some sports movies here. Last question for you. Do you have a favorite golf movie?
Definitely growing up, happy Gilmore.
Couldn't stop laughing at Adam Sandler, obviously.
And then as I've gotten a little older,
have really appreciated Caddyshack,
all the little tiny quips and little things
that you don't notice the first time you watch it.
But you can't go wrong with either of those two.
Is the golf realistic in Caddyshack?
It is.
It is way more realistic than Happy Gilmore.
Oh, yeah.
Happy Gilmore is a little unrealistic.
Yeah, especially Mrs. Havocke in the trees.
yeah dude well those are good answers man i love tin cup we're about to break down tin cups so uh that's
one of my personal favorites patrick really appreciate you you taking the time and wishing you the
best of luck this week uh keep up the great work thanks very much thanks for having me
