Subpar - Bob Menery Interview: Discovering his celebrity playing a Member-Guest, plans for a new broadcast platform

Episode Date: June 23, 2020

On this week's episode of GOLF's Subpar, Bob Menery joins former PGA Tour pro Colt Knost and his close friend and on course rival Drew Stoltz for an exclusive, in-studio, interview. The creator of the Zapped and Ripper Magoos podcasts talks playing in a Member-Guest the first day he went viral and his plans for creating an R-rated broadcast alternative for live sporting events.

Hello world. Welcome to this week's episode of Golf Subpar. Colt Nost and Drew Stoltz coming at you. Sleazy, two weeks in a row, live golf. It's been great. Things are back. It's nice to have golf, obviously. And the two weeks that we've had, I feel like the first two events couldn't have gone better. Like the leaderboards have been just jam-packed on Sundays going, being to both final rounds. I mean, you look around, there was like eight, 12 guys within one or two shots of the lead, both tournaments. It's been really fun, really fun to have it back. Nice to have those Sunday sweats with the gambling. as well since it's been so long. Yes, it was.

And it was an very exciting finish, to say the least. Webb Simpson's putter just got on fire and could not miss on the back nine, was able to get to 22 under par with a one-shot win over one of your guys, Abe answer, which we will get to a little bit later in the show. But, dude, watching Abe Answer and watching Webb Simpson go around the course, like Abe's ball striking couldn't have looked cleaner, couldn't have looked more effortless. I mean, dude, he hit 65 of 72 greens and regulation, including 18 of 18 of in the final round. And Webb is unbelievable player, top five player in the world. But his action

doesn't look one that's like, you know, super smooth. And one you would emulate. Like every shot I watch him hit. It looks like he's trying to save it and he's got the weird follow-through and stuff. But when you roll it like that, it doesn't matter what you do. He makes putting look so easy. I saw he only missed one putt inside of seven feet for the entire week and he made a bazillion feet of putts throughout the week. So turned into a shootout out there. Yes, it was. And fun little stat goes back quite a ways. But 38 times the leader or co-leader, he has shot 65 or lower on Sunday, 37 times they've won. The only person that didn't, Abe answered.

My guy, Abe. And all I was looking for was a freaking win out of what I got, I got Turrell Hatton. I got Abe answer. Both of my guys, my 50 to one long shots to win at the beginning of the week. Both of them are tied for the lead going into the final nine. I was like, please God, just one, just give me one of these dudes. One wipes off, like, cleans the entire slate. And of course, Webb goes and makes like five birdies out of seven holes, ends up winning.

And should have won. You put like that. I don't care how you hit it. You're going to win. But he hit it good on top of that, too. Yeah, Abe just watching him hit it, man. I was really blown away. I'm high on that guy going forward.

He looked so good out there. So, so, like, calm, too. Yeah, another big week for Daniel Berger, T3, after winning at Colonial. And it's been exciting. It's so fun to watch. The only thing that I thought was unfortunate was Harbor Town in June does not play like Harbor Town in April. Yeah, I mean, normally you're seeing guys like if you're getting to double digits, you know, sometime around the weekend you're in the hunt.

This time it was like guys were teeing off and they were in eighth place. and by the time they actually teed off in the afternoon, they were in 31st. Like you had to go out and shoot four or five under just to even keep pace. So Harbottown didn't quite have the same teeth to it. Still a fun course. Just felt like still a different course than what we see, but just felt like the strategy and stuff like that was a little bit, you know, removed or not as important as it's been in years past and that it was so soft.

And if you give them soft greens and no wind, they're going to kill anywhere they go. I mean, the cut almost snuck to five under par on Friday. Yeah. You shoot even, you mess around the first day and just kind of pitter-patter around, and shoot even par, miss some puts, make some putts. You got to go out and shoot 400 next day just to be around. For sure. But it was an exciting event.

Congratulations to Webb Simpson on his seventh win of his career. And they have been some big ones to go along with a players championship in the U.S. Open and a FedEx Cup playoff event. Probably the least talked about guy and now he's moved into the top five in the world rankings. The guy that's least talked about when you're going into major tournaments, big tournaments, in terms of like who's the favorite. I feel like he's never brought up. It's the same guys over and over.

and now he's he's on his way dude like if you look at his career right now that's like a borderline hall of fame career yeah he's uh he's impressive he just gets it done it's not the prettiest prettiest thing you put him next to rory mackroy or even a vanser last week it doesn't quite look the same but hey his score's lower than most everyone's every week he tees it up so big things coming for web congratulations to him on the win yeah colt but before we get to our guest this week not the only major happening in golf was at harbortown this week my man bg came through split a little ace piece into the mix this weekend. A costly ace, but an ace nonetheless. I mean, it's to the point now where my friends are just jerks. And so when you make a hole in one,

it's like almost punishment. Yeah, it's one of those things. Like when you make it, you're all excited and everyone's happy. And then you start doing the math on you like, okay, that person's on property. That's going to be a ton of that dude's here. All right, that's another couple hundred. This guy, you start doing the math. You're like, maybe it wasn't worth making this thing. Yeah. So I'll set the scene for you. Number 11, upper course at Wishbarock, playing with some buddies that, that you know. Mr. Football, Johnny Mansell was in the group, and the singer Kelly James was in town, so we all go out. Stars were out. We have a six-some, fun match, get to the 11th hole, 172 yards, downwind, hit an eight iron, got a nice little kick forward off the hill. Well, we still

have the PVC pipes in the cup. So you could see the ball, like kind of change directions it look like, and I'm like, oh, it lipped out. I'm like, thank God it lifted out. I was like, this would be expensive. And so obviously we're playing a little gambling game. I'm going alone, to win this hole most likely we get up we park the cart walking we get like 10 yards from the green and johnny goes dude that ball is in the hole and i'm like oh god you can only see like half the ball and i'm like oh god this is not good we get up there and the the pvc pipe on 11 was like an inch higher than all the rest so like only half the ball was in the cup another half sticking out i was like oh my god and they here we go yeah and johnny was all of a sudden was like oh yes i'm drinking

today and oh man we go to the clubhouse they all order cocktails then they decided It's funny to order around in 1942 shots. Of course. Then we make our way down to Isabella's. Great spot next to Greyhawk. And apparently my tab just stayed open all evening. Yeah, there should be a rule, I feel like in a hole in one, especially since there's no hole in one insurance where we play.

Like you don't get to have that. So you're on the hook for all of it. The rule should be as soon as you leave property, it's a rat. Like no more. The statute of limitations is not extended to the rest of the day and like, oh, we can go to dinner and you'll pay for everything. And then maybe we go out later that night and you pay for all that. But our friends are idiots.

And that's the way they all. operate. I'm fine with if there's other groups in the clubhouse after the round, buying them around a drinks. But once we leave site and people start showing up from other places, like Jeff Quinny calls me, he's like, are you buying? Quentin. He drives across the country to come to have some free cocktails. I'm in San Diego. Okay. This, we got to draw the line somewhere here. But needless to say, it was a really fun day. Sunday sucked. It hurt really bad. But it was a blast. Whole and one number nine. Number nine. Good for you. One more. Fill up both hands. That'll give you, that'll give you

you just stop hitting iron so good. You know what I mean? I mean, I was aiming at it. That's why I aim for bunkers. It might not look like I'm aiming for him, but that's where I'm aiming. You just don't want to make the only one. I haven't had to pay shit in forever.

Brilliant idea. God, you're smart. Always ahead of the curve. More than just a hat rack. Mm-hmm. Believe that. Love it.

Well, let's get to our guest. Yes. This is a special one, our first non-athlete. Right. Ever on golf, any sort. Yes.

heads up. This episode is a little more vulgar than our normal episodes. So viewer discretion is advised, but I still hope you enjoy Bob Minery. All right, here we are. We have a very special guest in studio today. Social Media Superstar, Voice of Buffalo Wild Wings, the man behind Ripper Magoo, Bob Minnery, welcome to the show, my brother. I wish there was more than that. It's always just the Buffalo Wild Wings plug. I always wish it was more. Like, you could keep going on with more things that I do,

but it's always like, Instagram guy and the voice of Buffalo Wild Wings. I honestly didn't know how to entry. I was like, what do you want to be, like, is it influence? I don't know. If I'm an influencer, the world's in big trouble. Good point. So I don't want to be. What are you then?

I'd like to think that's what you are. Yeah, give us your job description. Oh, God. I think I'm a, I think I'm a comedian. But again, I'm never to stand up. So I have no idea. I'm a guy with a good voice that found something that nobody had really ever done before and did it. And then got a bunch of 12-year-old, 13-year-old boys rallying behind me.

You have an army of them. We have an army. Yeah. And I put them to good use sometimes. When I need to pull the trigger and get those guys behind my back for a certain something, whether it'll be locking up a girl that I'm really interested in. Yep. Perfect.

You know, I use them for that. But it's been a very interesting past few years. Well, you can add this to the list. You're the first non-athlete on golf subpar. Oh, yeah. No way. First of all, first of all, by the way, I know that I think Johnny Mansell might be a mutual friend of you guys. And when you say I'm not an athlete, by the way, just let you know, don't come and fuck with me in the bowling lanes at Skylands.

I heard about this. Because I fucked up Johnny for some serious. I love that. Let's talk about that for the next hour. Yeah. Well, that's fine. I'll start out by saying Johnny was cocky and arrogant and shit. That doesn't sound like Johnny.

Can we swear on here? Yeah, you can do whatever you want. Okay, cool. Johnny was talking shit, and the first game, he absolutely annihilated me in bowling, and then he beat me for like $1,500. And then what I did was I went to texting him at like five in the afternoon yesterday, and I said, hey, let's play another game. Meet me at fucking Skylanes, and let's go.

Bring your wallet. And he did, which I beat him three games in a row. And then he brought me over. He's like, oh, you want to go play that basketball game over there? I'm like, no. No, no. I'll pick my fucking. You want to run the 40-yard dash?

Yeah. No, no, we're not doing that either. No, no, no, no. So, yeah, it's been, it's been fun, though. I feel that Scottsdale, Arizona, I've been here once for the waste management, which you guys obviously are familiar with. And this town is, it's fucking Vegas on steroids. On steroids.

You compare it to Vegas on steroids. Yeah, that old town. Like, I made the, I made the mistake. That old town. That place. If I, I mean, I wish I'd gotten an Airbnb a little bit further away. I'm literally one step away. And for anybody that doesn't know what old town is, it's this group of bars that's like,

it's basically a college craft. crowd, right? That it's known for. It's just, it's wild. But now with everything going on, you've got to be a little more careful with going out and everything. So you've enjoyed your time. You've had a hell of a run. Yeah, I had a hell of a run. From what I understand. You played a lot of golf. I did play a lot of golf. Actually, thanks to you guys, thanks to Fuge and everybody here, you guys introduced me to Brian Erlacker, who I would also like to say, not so sure about his five handicap, by the way, since this is a golf show. He texted me. After y'all got set up, you played that day at what Scottsdale National is that where you guys put yes yeah he texts me he's like

ask minaree how it went today a little bird he told me it didn't go well well i was a 12 handicap he's a five handicap so you know when you never play a game with somebody it's a little like all right let's feel this out a little bit you know whatever so i first shot rope a drive down the middle 300 yards second shot i hit it back spins back to this far away almost an eagle in the first whole ever playing with brian we're playing a pretty decent size money game. So he's like, you know, you can tell. He's already starting to talk shit like, really, your handicaps are 12, whatever. So I played like the best front nine of my life. And I made the mistake because I'm a gentleman of readjusting the game. I readjusted the game.

I was up fucking killing him on the front nine. He was depressed, sad. He was probably texting his wife or whatever I was fucking was doing. And basically adjusted the game. And then the back nine, he just fucking rocks me. And then we play again, 12 handicap, five handicapped. You saw my game. I fell to shit. I'm retired from golf. I bought him new kitchen cabinets. And those in Brian are Lackers' house, kitchen cabinets are very expensive. Yes, they are in a small house. So he does very well.

But let's start a little bit at the beginning. Quickly. Hold on, sorry. It's been a profitable trip for you to Scott Still. You're just telling us right before we came on it. You got to tell this story because it's wild. But what just happened to you the other day, you're trying to kill an hour of the day, basically. Take it from there.

Okay. So basically, I like to think that I'm in the Truman Show, okay? Because I came to Scottsdale with the intention of staying for three days. That's it. I'm like three days, I'm in and out. Let's just say this. I've been here a total now 41 days. I have not left.

It happens. So basically I was going to, I was going to leave again, right? And you know the Truman show, right? Like Truman's trying to get out of there and nothing will let him leave because they want to keep him in that bubble in that show. So I go to the casino, talking stick. I bring Aaron, my buddy, and I said, Aaron, here's $2,000. Go play poker. Anything you lose, don't worry about it.

Anything over $2,000. I get 70% you get 30% and you can go kill whatever we get to kill an hour I'm sitting at this table

like a fucking grandmother playing Kino okay because I'm getting a little work done right Kino I don't even know what Keno is

I don't even know either but I fucking I bet you know max you could I bet like $20 a Keno spin right

so basically I pick like close my eyes seven numbers or something like that $20 dollars so you know how it works you like press it it's like

beep beep beep beep beep beep all the things come up and I'm just on my phone then you keep pressing it again whatever long story short

I'm on my phone and it makes like this weird fucking noise the machine. Like all right So I look over Bam $70,000 That's American money

American money So I texted Aaron I said let's get the fuck Out of here now Pack up And this is the best thing Aaron has worked with me for four months And

The best answer was I was like Aaron Let's leave I want $70,000 He goes Yo bro can I just finish up a few more hands. I'm like, Aaron. With your own money? Your one, two, no limit game right now is not relevant. We're leaving.

So it's been, it's been good. Now, obviously, after taxes, it's like, what does it come down to like 35,000? We're not math. We're not really big math. I mean, it depends on how much you claim. Yeah. It depends what bracket. No one from the IRS list is. Are you in, by the way. Let's get to that. Yeah, yeah. Well, we'll skip that. Well, if you look, actually, if you look at if you Google what my net worth is, yeah, it's right on point. 86 million dollars, it says. Oh, wow. I had you like for an 85. guy. And it's off by 86 million. Perfect.

They're way off there. I love it. Well, you grew up in Massachusetts. Moved to L.A. What age you moved to L.A.? I moved to L.A., I moved to L.A. so many times. I moved to L.A. at 21 years old. Move back to Boston, then back to L.A., back to Boston, back to L.A. But I moved there officially for the first time at 21 years old. Was going to take over the acting world?

I was dialed and determined to be the next Leonardo DiCaprio. How to Hollywood to be an actor. I want to hear this story. I've never heard of a story. It's not a story. It's just a train wreck. I mean, I went to be an actor-comedian. I always wanted to do it.

The problem was I just had a lot of fear. I was very scared. I wanted to be a stand-up comedian, but I couldn't get on stage. I would go to open mics, sit there, sign my name up, and you know when they go down the list? And it's like, all right,

you're getting closer to coming up. I'd be like, freaking out, and then I'd get up and leave. I honestly think that has to be one the most terrifying jobs in the world. I haven't done it. yet and and I think I want you to do I think now that I'm actually getting more comfortable with everything because it comes with like you know you get more confidence as things start to happen

and so I want to make it I want to do a live tour I want to take like our podcast on the road I want to you know do live stand-up comedy and stuff I mean I say that I'll probably run out of the stand-up room again but yeah so it's been it's been a very good run here what about the acting so you go down there you want to be actor comedian were you auditioning doing like what does that look like I have no idea if I moved to L.A. and be like I want to be an actor how does that work? You're asking me? Yeah.

Oh. You tried it, didn't you? He's not asking me. I ain't asking me. Yeah. No, no, you're asking me. I'm saying it like, because I didn't. I don't have the answer.

I mean, I went out there. I was, by the way, I was the luckiest person on planet Earth. I hit at a random time at two in the morning, was sitting next to my buddy after being completely defeated in Los Angeles. I was sleeping for two months, rock bottom. My buddy finds me in a car sleeping. He's like, you got to go back home. You got to go to Boston.

Calls my parents at 28 years old. I fly back home to Boston. And with nothing. I go to apply for a job after being home in Boston at Leary's liquor store for $11 an hour. And they took my application. They didn't hire me. They passed.

Big mistake, I think, though. Yeah. You could have sold some booze. You could have been booming right now. You would have drank your paycheck away. You know what like teams make the mistake and not go with that draft pick? Yeah. Leary's fucked up.

That liquor store fucked up. Lerries drafted Sam Bowie. They took the other guy and it's not the same result. But basically, yeah, I went back to, you know, went to my buddy's party. I got a text and he's like, yo, you want to come be in my music video. And again, I'm like, yeah, obviously you've got 2,200 subscribers on YouTube. Let's go.

Let's do this. So I go. I'm an extra of the music video. You see like my fingernail in the fucking video. Oh, you're fist pumping at the start. Oh, yeah. You seen it? You saw it?

You saw it? Who's the musician? What video is it? Mike Costito. It was actually a very, very, very talented kid. He actually has a quarter million subscribers on YouTube. I'd just say that. And I don't know if he gets mad at me, but I would make the story.

Yeah, yeah. You got your drink in the air in the front door. I've seen it. You need it extra who's going to be a party animal. I'm your fucking guy. And I'm still willing to do it. Okay? So anybody out there that wants me as an extra in their music video, I'm fucking in.

Colt and I got a little something in the works. We'll talk to you about it. Done. And it's free. It's off air though. Yeah, yeah. But I was sitting next to this kid named David Justin and never met him before. And he took out his cell phone.

I was bombed, blocked out, still in drug party mode. Didn't kick that habit. later and took out his phone and basically went to bed. I did my schick that I always did while sitting on the couch. I was like Aaron Rogers, Tom Brady, tonight ESPN, did my whole little thing that I always did over and over again for years to my friends. It never went anywhere. But that day it did and it went viral on the internet. The next day my phone was like, bling, bling, bling, bling, kept like blowing up like crazy. And I had witnessed what it was like to go viral on the internet, which was very interesting. So why did it go viral off David Justin's? Like who is, who is David

Justin. So David Justin had a connection at Bro Bible. And Bro Bible was the first person to put it out there. And that got shared by a bunch of people. And yeah. And then from there, it just kind of went, I don't know, I just went viral. So I remember I had like three. I was playing golf with Don Stanley at a member guest that day. And my phone was like going off. And he had paid $2,500 for this member guest to have me there. And I was on my phone the whole time. He's like, what do you fucking doing on your phone the whole time? I'm like, I don't know, Don, something's happening. I'm like, something's happening right now. I'm like, Dawn, I don't know. It's like I get like this thing, William Morris Endeavor? What is this?

Why are they calling? And yeah, I mean, I just, he's like, put your phone away. So I put my phone away in the car and went and played the 18 holes of golf, went back in the car, checked my phone. I had 316 missed calls. That's incredible. Whatever it was, managers, agents, fucking newspaper people. It was just weird to go.

viral. So yeah. I mean, well, it was just the point where like my parents downsized to a two-bedroom apartment. So they were thrilled at 28 years old when their son comes knocking the door. Be like, Mom, Dad, I'm home. Here we go. Home and I'm going to work at the liquor. Our bedrooms are right next to each other. And for the next year, I'm going to be screaming out of it a terry wide fucking right for the next fucking year trying to do this crazy, stupid-ass thing that I did, whatever it is. I got one last question about David Justin. So obviously, I mean, if he didn't do that video, none of this might have happened. Do you still have a relationship with this guy at all?

Yeah, actually 100%. David, there's two guys that like, you know, Ernie Gia Poppius was the guy that found me in the car, literally. Picked me out of the car. It was like, you're going home. You're not right. You're going to, like, die if you continue the way you're doing it. And so he's a guy that I've, you know, I am forever in his debt, you know? And then same thing with David.

I mean, anything he ever needs, I will do whatever I can to help those two guys out 1,000%. Because, yeah, he was the guy that, and then, because he also pushed it, too. Like he talked to Bro Bible and made Bro Bible post it and all that stuff. And so, yeah, pretty crazy. That's awesome. That's wild shit. And then, but when rewind back to L.A., you're in L.A. trying to be actor, comedian, or whatever.

You're caddying at Wilshire. We're our golf pod guys. We'll touch a little golf here. You're cadding at Wilshire Country Club. Number one caddy on the planet, by the way. I was going to say to you like, this is no offense to you. I said, looking at you, like, I don't be like, that's the guy I want catty. I don't feel like you'd be a great caddy, no offense.

Well, the famous line, don't judge it. It's a book by its cover, sir. All right. No, you know, look, you just didn't want me on Friday, Saturday mornings. You know? That's fair. You didn't want me on Saturday mornings to caddy for you, all right? You know, and I'll make that actually Friday mornings to Thursday mornings as well.

Mondays, I was great. I was very good on Mondays. But actually, I loved caddying. I met a lot, a lot of cool people out there. And it's actually kind of funny is like, you know, you're caddying for guys that were very successful, guys that were in the entertainment business, guys that were whatever, blah, blah. And now seeing that like, caddying for those guys and now actually doing deals with some of the guys that I was caddying for, you know?

It's just fucking bonkers. I still don't process it. Yeah, that's wild. Why did you pick cadding? Like most guys, I feel like go to valet or whatever. You have a background in golf? I walked into Wilshire Country Club. I played golf my whole life.

My cousin was a golf pro at And over country club. And I walked into Wilshire Country Club, met the starter, completely lied, told him I caddy that like Augusta, tells him. my caddy. No, I'm not even joking. I told him my caddy like Augusta, like all these different places. And he's like, the funny thing is with the caddy job, I don't really think you need to lie. Like they just need guys. You got legs. You just like, you got legs. You can carry golf bags. There is an art to it, but it's, you know, so, yeah, just lied and hired me. And then I just got the groove. I mean, look at you're making cash. You're, you're, you're meeting cool people. It's, you're, you're, for, especially when you're an addict, a flexible schedule is very, you know,

convenient. But yeah, you know, so. Well, that's not the first job you lied to get. You also claim to be an acting coach. Yeah, I've lied a lot. I've lied a lot, guys. Yeah, definitely did that too. You know, that was more after I went to New York Film School for a little bit and

studied the craft of acting and ended up needing to make a little side cash. And so I thought I was Meisner himself. Yeah. And opened up a Craigslist ad and said anybody that wants some acting lessons, come on down. But guess what guys? You laugh at me? Yeah, it works. 20 of my students, 20 of my acting students, they all came back for a second go-around.

Love that. So they all came- Would you charge? Yeah, what was the rate? I was $25 an hour. Oh, damn. Yeah. You got the best. Better than Larry's liquor store.

You could either go down to whatever it is improv Boston and pay three and dollars for this thing with people that know what they're doing. You can come with me and I can teach you the ropes. None of them made it though. I was about to say to any any star pupils that you had. Bradley Cooper made it. Okay.

That's one. Thank you. Bradley Cooper made. Margo Robbie had a pretty simple career. Jonah Hill. Yeah. No, I don't believe any of them made it yet. Okay.

Yet. Yet. But if they, I'm always open to bring that back if they need to. That's awesome. That's so good. I went to three weeks of acting. school, I basically know how to teach it. I imagine those guys

and girls in art, but like, holy shit, I gave that money to teach, that guy had money to teach me how to act. Dude, but you know what's funny? I swear to you, like, I actually really am, I was better at, like, when I was doing all this stuff, because I took it very seriously, like, I have a passion, that's what I've always wanted to do, and I will do it.

You know, I want to, right now, I'm trying to write an animated series right now around kind of what I'm doing, but I want to do, I want to get back in acting, like I said. And I was actually, I believe, because the most important thing, I think especially for like beginning actors and whatever, we're like to just feel comfortable in a room and to like, you know, the most unattractive thing in acting is when people try and act.

So what I was very good at is I was, I can't believe my name talking about this. I was a made up acting ghost. But like, like trying to get people to like just relax in a room and whatever. I don't know. $150 an hour if anybody wants. I can't believe I'm talking about this right now. Colt and I are going to teach people out to be an astronaut now. If you want to go to the moon, call me and Cole 150 an hour.

We'll show you how to do it. Exactly. Oh, I love it. That's fantastic. Well, obviously, this Instagram thing just blows up. It's insane. You have 2.6 million followers. Wow.

Don't forget about TikTok either. Oh, TikTok. I don't know about TikTok. We're not, we're like, consider us. Am I big on TikTok? Are you kidding me? Fucking huge on TikTok. I don't know what I'm doing on there, by the way, which is a new big thing.

Like this girl, Addison Ray has like 29 million followers on TikTok. And all they do is it's dance. But I can't dance. So what I just did was I took all my clips and just. just reposted them on TikTok and didn't even look at it ever. And before you know, I was like 1.6 million followers on there. What's the difference between TikTok, Instagram? You can post videos on Instagram.

What the hell is the difference? It's just another platform. It's just another platform, I guess, but it skews very young. So I think in anything that you do is you're always trying to get a younger audience, you know what I mean? And to kind of keep, that's the way you build longevity of your business is to keep skewing younger. And so TikTok is filled with kids that sit there on their phone all day and watch videos.

Not like us. We're not fit for TikTok guys so don't be thinking about break. Definitely. I don't want to see like, we're not making a TikTok. I don't want to see a subpar TikTok Cole's being made after this.

Colt's been talking about it. He's been floating that around a little bit. Actually, you know what? Cole, I think the three of us at one point should do, and I'll tell you what, it will be good eyeballs for this fucking

fucking, because they convert. The TikTok audience, when I post my podcast on there, I can track where they come from. Yeah. TikTok has a pretty, loyal podcast. I would do it for the brand. 100%. Yeah, for the brand. I would do it.

That's what we are. There's one that's like brand new Lamborghini, fuck a cop car or something. It's like a song. Perfect. I like DeBaby. So you have to learn the moves. I'm a country music guy, but we can make it work. You got to adjust. George Strait and Garth Brooks. All of a sudden you guys check two. You check like three days later. It's like subpar podcast number one in the world now. After Colts, a phenomenal TikTok performance to DeBeeby.

I think Colts built for the talk. Give me a couple more of these. We can talk. Yeah, anything's in play. What's this animated? Give me a quick rundown in this animated series. What are you working on? What I wanted to do is since I can't really get any of the leagues to approve my product,

although I am working on something I believe it's, you know, my whole goal was other two that build his first ever kind of R-rated sports broadcast, you know, an all term. I mean, you go to watch the NFL, right? You have one way to watch the NFL right now, right? And people take the NFL very seriously. Like, you know, I'm not going to, you know, you have Buck. Aikman, you have Nance and Romo, right? Well, guess what? What happens if, like, you know, look it. You don't want to watch it as a traditional style of football. You come over to our spot where we can,

you know, I can call a game, I think, truthfully, just as good as any of those guys can out there with a little bit of preparation and work. But my idea for it was, was to have a, you know, kind of rotating color commentator, you know, so I would have Bob Mennery and say, I'm shooting high here, but, and when you pitch things, you have to shoot really high. Yeah, yeah. Name the biggest names possible. You have to use big names, even though they're like not going to agree to it. Like Bob Menry, Steph Curry, quarter one.

Bob Menary, Pat McAfee, quarter two, Bob matter, whatever. And then it's rotated in different, so I'm like calling the game, but it's kind of a podcast style kind of thing. Now, how do you do that is the question, because how are you going to be able to do that and use the NFL's product? well, you go through Twitch, for instance. Twitch acquired the rights of Thursday Night Football. Okay, so basically you can go on Twitch, stream Thursday Night Football.

You can sit in a little box cold. You can basically do whatever you want on there, and you can have your little base on there. And so that's the way I see it. I figure a way that you can go through Twitch. And, yeah, I mean, Scooter Braun came to me eight months ago and met me and said, hey, I think that if we do this right, there's potential to be the biggest fucking streamer. in the world of sports. And we went back and forth on this idea

and it kind of went away. And I called him after a little bit of a night out at three in the morning. He didn't answer the call and repitched the idea to him. And so we're revisiting it. I like it. I mean, obviously,

are you trying to do all sports or just football? Well, right now I think you just have to look at what you have access to. So Twitch has the rights to Thursday Night Football. So I think that's my main focus is to do it just on Thursday night football coming up this season. And I'm going to be able to pull it off,

And you're already hated by the PJ tour, correct? I don't know if I'm hated by the PGA tour. I definitely was just like, I mean, what happened with them was I, you know, was just doing what I always do for, you know, doing voiceovers over their product. But this is what I don't get is I getting kids to put down Fortnite controllers and watch golf. Like, and they're not paying me. So like, what's the harm in this? Now I guess that like, okay, cool, they take their product very seriously and blah, blah.

But again, I'm amassing it, bringing them a whole new fucking audience. That's why it didn't make sense on why they wouldn't let me do it. I mean, the NFL, I have a great relationship with the NFL. The NBA hasn't given me any trouble. But for some reason, PGA has probably because the Dustin Johnson kind of videos making fun of his little issues. But where Ripper McGoo surfaced from. How often do you get, since obviously this newfound fame, how often do you get noticed when you're like out, like even in Scottsdale? Well, Scottsdale is like my target.

Like everybody, you know, because, you know, my brand is kind of like laid back party, have fun, you know. It happens, yeah, it happens a lot. And it's definitely different. Do you enjoy Vantage? I will never, ever, ever, ever. I don't care if I'm at dinner. I don't care if I'm at anywhere. I will always do whatever I can to take a picture to do a video, to do anything for anybody.

Because I'm not like an athlete. I'm without the people that follow me, without the people to do. I've been nobody. So those are the people that made me be able to start a career off of this. So I will never say no to any requests. So you take a ton of pictures and all this. Have you signed any autographs? Interesting question.

I have been asked to sign autographs. And it's the worst thing in the world to have to say, I can't. I just don't know how to do it. Like I don't know how to sign a consistent signature. Is that weird? What do you mean? I don't know. You sign it every time you go to dinner, you do it.

It's the same thing. Every time it's different, though, because, like, I mean, I've, like, yeah, I've, I've, I've tried to sign it. I mean, by the way, it doesn't happen off, and it's happened like six times. All right, let's not, I've tried to sign it. It's not like, it's not like, tried to sign my name, I just don't know how. It's just, I can't have a consistency. I didn't focus really too hard in second grade cursive when they made you right on the, I don't have a consistent signature. And you'll tell if I, if I get to, if I get the, if I get the pleasure of signing the wall, you're going to get the pleasure.

You'll have my seventh autograph of all time. We're on the fence right now. Make sure you put number. number seven below it yeah number seven below it number you can just scribble you do people put their jersey numbers you put the number of autographs you think you're i think you're i think you're overthinking the whole autograph thing i know i know i know i am but yeah no so uh i i normally if they ask me for an autograph i'll just say hey can i just do a video for you and something instead and and do that has anyone ever come up to you you're like holy shit like a celebrity or something like

like you know i love your videos come up to you and been like i'm a big fan it's like taking taking you a back there's a lot of guys that come up to me sometimes that i don't know who they are and well I'll be talking to and they'll like, yo, like love your shit, like whatever. And then I'll find out later, it's like, oh, the one of the, you know, the Phoenix Coyote's hockey player or like the, you know, baseball player from Cincinnati or a lot of guys I don't know.

I mean, normally if it's somebody that, you know, I'm a sports fan, so I know a lot of sports guys. But yeah, I've actually been able to build a pretty good roll decks and good guys that are, have actually done a lot for me. You know, Shaquille O'Neal is a guy who, you know, came on to our shit. We had Christian McCaffrey.

We've had some pretty good... Mark Cuban, who I'm a huge fan of. Mark Cuban came on, which actually just happened from a random DM. The way we got Cuban was... Because normally I'm a psychopath. Like, I'll send... Especially when I was building all this stuff. I knew the most power...

My videos take me fucking three minutes to do. So if I get a video, I'll just not even think about it. I'll just do it. But then I'm like, what do I do with the rest of my 23 hours? And I knew that the most powerful thing you have is relationships. And so what I did was I made sure that I messaged and used six degrees of separation to kind of network the best way I could, every athlete in the world, you know?

And now got a lot of pretty cool guys that I've met along the way that actually helped me big time by coming on my shit or at least, you know, wearing my hats or any of that stuff. So you DM Mark Cuban and he responded? Mark Cuban was basically just playing it simple, some random guy DM me on Instagram. It was like, yo, I can get you Cuban.

And I get a lot of DMs on there. So I click on his picture and he looked like he had like money. You know, he looked like a guy that was like, you know, he wasn't just like, he was exactly like Colt. Yeah, he looked like, he was exactly like Colt. That's what I see when I was called. Walthy. Yep.

Sharp. Exactly. All the above. That's what he possessed, those traits. And I respond to the guy. I said, dude, if you can get me Cuban, whatever you need, whatever. And then next thing you know, I am on a group email with Mark Cuban. And Cuban's like, yeah, I'm in.

I'm like, amazing. He's like, what works for you? I'm like, any time, Mr. Cuban. Starting now. Anything you need. I will drop everything I can to get you on there. But yeah, Mark was a good dude. And he was going to run for president, I think, right?

Did he know you before? Or he just, like, agree. It's like, oh, here's a dude that wants to talk to me. I'll do it. I saw Mark Cuban at the fanatics party in the Super Bowl. Didn't say hello to him. I was too nervous. Of course.

And he was getting celery sticks, I think, at the buffet. And I was just too scared. I didn't say anything to him. And so the first time I did meet him and talk to him was on that podcast. And the last time I've spoken to him. That's awesome. He's a legend. He's a beast.

Favorite person you've ever interviewed. You've obviously, as you said, had a lot of. Big time celebrities. Yeah, who's the best? I believe it or not, loved Robert O'Neill. Robert O'Neill was the seal who went in and killed Osama bin Laden. That was the story because the first time I met him was at New York. I was with, he was just messaged.

I think he, no, somebody said that he followed me on Twitter and I messaged him. I said, dude, like respect everything that you guys do and all that stuff and said, I'm in New York, let's meet up. So we met up for a drink. And he brought Dakota Meyer, who is another fucking beast who was eating. awarded the Medal of Honor for, I believe, he has a very interesting story. He was ambushed by 200 Taliban in, I think, I don't know, I don't want to say Afghanistan. I think it was in the Middle East. The Middle East. And I think he lost a lot of his fellow soldiers and whatnot,

but the story's fascinating. If you get a chance, Dakota is a great guy. But I felt very safe that night. I mean, I was out to dinner with the man who killed Osama bin Laden and the Medal of Honor recipient to my rights. Although, I I did feel safe, but then when Robert said, you know, the Taliban have a $10 million bounty on my head right now, I go, oh, cool. So I don't feel safe anymore. I got a thing. I got a deal back in the crib. Yeah.

So he's up there. And then obviously, I think Shaquille O'Neal, Shaq was another guy who was just the man. And, you know, a lot of these guys come in with entourages and all this stuff or whatever. Shaq just came in by himself and, you know, was just a fucking great, great dude. He's, you know, that's why he works with so many brands, too. He goes above and beyond for anybody they works with And he's just a solid fucking great dude Who's the guy you've DMed a bunch of times

I haven't heard back from that you want more than anybody? What's the number one one A dream list guest on Zapp podcast? Oh man Well I mean there's tons of them I mean there's tons of them I just keep shooting my shot as they say you know I mean Drake was up there A few I mean yeah Drake probably

I mean but the most embarrassing thing is though When you actually meet that person and you've sent them 47 DMs and they finally add you on Instagram and then click messages and see that you've sent them 77 messages in a row for the past two years and you look like a loser

and you're just like fuck I'm like and I just say hey man look at you guys I'm just crying so who is that who did that happen with fuck who did that happen with I mean it's happened so many times what I do is when I meet them real quick I'm like oh shit and Instagram has the unsend buttons you're allowed to unsend messages

so what I try and do is meet them real quick and then before they add me on Instagram or any of that stuff, I just unsend the messages real, real quick. Good idea. Try and get rid of them. That's a good feature on the ground. Unsend. By the way, your first podcast, River Magoos, I was a huge fan of Timmy Bounceback.

And one of my questions was, where the hell is Timmy Bounceback been? And then you bring him into the studio today. He's right here videoing himself. He's running around. Look at him. It looks like he's looking for buried treasure out here. In the background, running around. Timmy was a guy.

Like this guy. Yeah, he's fucking whacked. Jesus. I love him. Look at this creature. I've never even met it before and I love him. No, it seems the best. No, Timmy, I met through Nick Swartson, actually. Yeah.

Yeah, Nick, and he introduced us, and it was a tornado of just sin, basically, we met. And he was on our first podcast, Rip McGooz, obviously with everything that happened with, like, the COVID stuff and everything. It kind of made it more complicated. We had a couple contract issues and whatnot, and kind of just broke away from that show. It was great. You know, we were doing, it was, you know, I'd love to bring it back. I'd like to bring it back more, though, on a live thing. I'd like to, although I say take it back on a live show, but bringing Timmy to, like, a live show is the most dangerous thing.

in the world. But him and Lauren Sesselman were our two co-hosts. And yeah, we had a good run. But now we have our new Zapps podcast that's called. It's, you know, having a little bit of trouble getting it off the ground. I think like 20% of our audience came back from Mgoos, which was a struggle. But trying to kind of hopefully by plugging it right now, the Zapp podcast, I can steal a couple of your listeners.

This will help. You send us the army of 12-year-olds. We'll give you all of our golf fanatics. All our 60-year-old dudes. It'll be a lot of golf. It'll be an evil trade. Oh, wait, six-year-old, I'm fucked. Yeah.

But you're doing some weird stuff right now with Zapped, or you want to at least. Like you're going to Oklahoma. You want to go tornado chasing, right? Is that the next thing up? Like, you want to go storm chasing? Look it. I look at it this way. The world is in the craziest place ever right now with everything going on.

And I'm just like, you know what? Fuck this. I want to do some of the things that I've always wanted to do. One of my goals was to go tornado chasing. I don't know what it is. I have a fascination with tornadoes. I've spent probably fucking six. hours yesterday, hung over in bed just watching F5 tornadoes just roll through more Oklahoma

and whatnot. I don't know. It's just been a fascination of mine. So I had a plan. I told my guys, I said we're going on a little road trip guys. And they're like, where are we going? I was like, we're going to tornado alley and we're going to go chase these fucking tornadoes.

And they didn't feel safe about it. And I said, well, you have two choices. You either can continue to work with me or, you know, you're either chasing tornadoes with me or you're on. Or you're not. Put your life at risk or you're gone. You're going to need to tie Aaron to something. Aaron's the one of the...

He ain't got a lot of weight to hold them down on one of those things. No, but what I did was I contacted this guy, Reed Timmer, who is, I guess, one of the most notorious storm chasers. And he's been keeping me updated on when they're coming. Because I guess there's like they can tell, you know, two to three weeks in advance of when these tornadoes are going to come and hit and all that stuff. You know, they have all the technology or whatever.

So I'm on standby right now. I mean, like, literally, I might have to leave right now during this podcast to Just maybe, okay, well, just in case that happens, we got to get to our emergency, nine questions that we do

with every guest. Yeah, in case this happens. Let's hit it before Bob dies. All right, we asked this to every guest, movie about the life of Bob Minnery, who plays it?

Shial Abuff. Shial Abuff. Who did you have for him? I had a young Seth Green. I love Seth Green. A young Seth Green. Yeah. That's just,

yeah. No, I was like a big fan of Shia. I was a big fan of Shia. I was younger in the trying to, the act days I wanted, like, like,

my goal, I wanted to be Shile Abuff. That's the guy you looked at and said, I want to be him. He's gotten, he's gotten, doing some weird shit right now. Yeah, he had a really good, I forget what the movie was called, though. He had a movie that was very successful. It just came out that was really good. Honey something, I think.

But, yeah, no, definitely back in the day, Shailabuff was my guy that I looked up to. All right, the Life of Bob Minnery starring Shia LaBuff. All right, number two, here we go. We're getting into your love life a little bit right now. I know you're making a little, made a recent, very public run, a Jeannie Bouchard. Yes. You've also been linked to a golf, a little woman in the golf game, Katie Carney. Katie Carney, Jeannie Bouchard, both drowning in the ocean.

You only have one life vest. You can throw it to one of them. Who do you throw it to? Fuck you guys for this one. Don't say you guys. This is Drew Stoltz. I would have to say. I'm sorry, Bob.

Jeannie, look at me and Katie didn't work out. But, you know, I have to save Katie Carney because I haven't met you yet, Jeannie. I've met you just virtually through Zoom. and Katie and I have been through the ringer together. And plus, if I save Katie, I have another chance with her, I think. I mean, because then she'd have to maybe come back to me. Yeah, if I save her fucking life. Yeah, you have so.

So, Genie's dead. No brainer. Jeannie, I'm sorry. That's going to hurry chances with Jeannie. I'm sorry. She won't hear this. She's not a goal. You're good.

Yeah, but now I'm going to plug it. And I'm going to plug this by saying, Jeannie Bouchard or Katie Carney, find out at subpar podcasts. Yeah, that's perfect. Who's life am I saving? This is going to help you out. Exactly. You're welcome.

All right. All right. Craziest thing you've bought with this newfound fame and money you've come into. I'm pretty tight with my money. So the craziest thing I probably bought was a, wow, that's a good question. Crazest thing I've ever bought. I mean, probably just made a massive, I made a couple massive bets, you know, gambling is on the up and up right now.

So I made a very significant Super Bowl wager. This year? This year. Who? I took the San Francisco 49ers, by the way. Yeah, it didn't work out too well. So I took the 49. I was looking great, quarter three.

And then the Kansas cheese rallied back. But that was the most, I'll consider that a purchase because guess what? My money went from here to there. And I. To Bovada. I'll totally accept that answer. All right. We got 70.

This isn't one of the questions. You got 70 grand extra right now from your recent visit to the stick. you're going to put a Super Bowl bet for this year who you got i'll always bet the super bowl like what i do is i'm not like a consistent sports better that sits there in bets like 16 games or whatever you know because i think obviously the likelihood when you bet more and more more it favors the house where we want to call it so um i will definitely bet the super bowl this year and i think uh the tampa bay buccaneers are looking pretty good after their new little uh moves in the off season with tom brady oh do they make some positions they did a little something

slays do they're going to be fucking deadly this year i think they're going to be 14 and two and win the Super Bowl blind. Interesting. Can I have the rest of the NFC? Yeah, no. We'll figure out odds. Yeah, we'll talk about it. All right.

We'll figure out. We'll get to that. Number four. All right, number four. Name a role in any movie ever that you think you would have been perfect for. Name a roll in him. I mean,

the fucking Joker, but I couldn't pull it off. The joke over Joaquin? Wow. Yeah, it would be called the Joker live in Scottsdale edition. Yeah. That's what it'd be because that's basically my life. At Bevy.

At Bevy, Skylanes and whatever. The Joe Lizer or whatever. Best supporting actor Johnny Mansell. Johnny. Perfect. I'll watch. I promise I'll watch. Yeah.

Oscar nods are in place. Get me the fuck out of here, guys. Out of this fucking town. Now, evacuation. All right. Number five, most money you've ever played for on the golf course. A lot. Probably, I mean, I played some, I played some games where it's been up where, you know,

there was like 30 to 40,000 at risk, I think. In L.A.? I play. I played in, yeah, I mean, I think in L.A. I played one that was that big, and I played one in San Diego as well. Did you win? I did not win, but I didn't lose.

It was the most way, like that was the max exposure was that, I think. But, yeah, no, I think that I'm down in golf. I'm definitely down in golf. So nobody questioned my handicap. I'm down and golf. I'm down to golf last time, dude. You want to team off. I'm a fucking, no, we're not going to team off.

We're both down and golf. We're retired. We're in the right. I want Colt. I want Colt on my fucking team. So yeah. I'll be your partner. All right.

You actually did make an appearance in a big hit show, billions. Oh, God. How would you rate your acting skills on billions? One out of ten. One out of ten. You're one out of ten. And I'll tell you why. Because I had, this is actually funny story.

So I get the Brian Cobbleman, who was I think one of the writer's creators of billions, hit me up, was like, yo, we're trying to work you in the show, blah, blah, we have this fight going on. Rich Eisen was my guy. who was a play-by-play guy. I was playing like the color guy during the boxing fight with McPhee or whatever the other guy is.

So basically I forgot, you know, being one of the best acting coaches in the world, you know, one of the things I always preach to my students was that you had to learn your lines beforehand. And you should probably get a good night's sleep before you go and shoot. Now, I just didn't give a shit. I don't know.

So I went on set that day. We had a call time of 7 a.m. And let's just say I met a girl, I think, in New York. And we ended up hanging out until about four in the morning together. Showed up on set, not knowing my lines at all. But I'm like, no big deal. I can figure it out. Little did I know the place was packed.

It was a boxing fight. So they filled the whole entire boxing arena with like 2,000 people. Rich Eisen, Deonté Wilder was there. Stipo Migovich, the UFC guy was there. It was like a big show. and I didn't know my lines so I'm like when are we shooting this they're like yo it's like happening in like an hour

we're gonna start shooting I'm like oh my god I'm like I can't remember these lines whatever so I try to I try to all of a sudden they're like all right Bob we're ready for you let's go now Rich eyes is the most buttoned up professional guy ever and Rich is like you ready like you know how are we doing this whatever my eyes are like bloodshot I'm like

can't we communicate and I was like Rich I have no idea I don't know my lines whatever they're like action I'm like didn't know what to say at all Like, forgot it. They had to cut like nine times in a row. Finally, I didn't know my lines. They're like, you know what?

Bob, Rich, here's what we're going to do. Bob doesn't know his lines. You're going to do five rounds, just improv the whole entire thing together. Go. So we just, me and Rich sat there. They mocked up the fights. They were fighting. And we had to just improv the whole entire thing.

They cut out a lot of the stuff that we had said. But overall, to answer your question, yeah, it was not a Academy Award winning performance. I watched it last night. Yeah. It wasn't, it wasn't. Dude, your acting coaching rates are going down. I'm done. I'm fucking going.

Yeah. Didn't know my lines. If I fall in love the night before, what are you supposed to do? Yeah, I don't know what I mean? All right. Next one. What are we on? Eight, eight right now?

All right. Worst celebrity loop you ever had at Wilshire. Oh man. I mean, it's a hard question. There really wasn't. Everybody was cool to me. Well, I mean, you'd get guys that were just so bad at golf. And when you're a golf caddy, you know, the worst thing in the world is when you have four

really, really, really, really shitty, shitty players that have no fucking idea how to play golf and they're hitting the balls everywhere. And they don't understand the concept of golf. They don't get that like, hey, like just pick the fucking ball up, you know, a lot of these guys. So, I mean, I don't know. Worst celebrity golf.

I, either tip, pace of play. Tip wasn't. Tip was always pretty standard. But, oh, God. Maybe, what's his name? Fuck. The guy from... Throw him under the bus.

No, not throw him under the bus. He's actually a great guy, but the guy from... Who actually was the best tipper there. The guy from Scary Movie. Or no, no, no, no, no, no. Scary movie. Fuck, what was it? Scream.

Arnette? Arnette. David Arnette. David Arquette. David Arquette was like a G. When it came to like tipping, like David would take care of everybody. But his golf game, I think, struggled a little bit. And I think I had a caddy for him a couple times.

David Arquette was probably one of the guys. it was tough to go and chase balls. I went into that round weighing 170 pounds. I left weighing 150. Chasing his fucking golf balls around. You said on two hours of sleep. You said scary movie. I was like, Damon Wayans.

Yeah, no, no. Yeah, I knew what you're talking about. Scream. Scream. All right. Legendary. Last one. What is Bob Minery doing five years from now?

I am hoping to own and operate a massive digital media company off of what I'm doing. And also hoping to have a good partnership with a company like Twitch or, you know, a good partnership with the NFL and actually making this psychotic goal of mine, this first ever R-rated alternative way of broadcasting a real thing, where people are actually streaming into it and enjoying the product that we put out there. So, yeah, building the first ever R-rated sports network would be awesome and having control over it. Awesome.

Well, man, we really appreciate you taking the time. And glad we got you before you start chasing tornadoes. Yeah. This might be the last time we see you. This is it. It's been real. Mom and dad, I love. you guys so much you've done so much for me if i don't make it out alive it's been it's been a run

well thank you so much man i appreciate it pleasure well slays that was the one the only bob mennery one of our more interesting interviews i would say i loved it i like getting dudes that are outside of the sports world and this guy's story is different like i said i had no idea about his whole background story he went through some stuff before he became who he was i mean he was down and out went to l. a to be an actor comedian never really tried to be an actor comedian from what it sounded like but you know got into some stuff, got in some drugs, went back to Boston and two days, three days later, whatever it was, bam, he's on the cover of everything. He's doing voiceover. He's Buffalo Wildlings and now, I mean, he's massive on social media. Massive. Over two and a half million followers

on Instagram. Like you said, an incredible story. I love, I mean, he is who he is. And we're never going to ask a guest to not be themselves when they come in here. And I mean, what you see is what you get with Bob. He's, he's a little vulgar, but he's so entertaining. His voice is just incredible. It's unreal how good his voice is. And that's exactly why people like him. Like in this day and age where announcers really kind of can't say sometimes probably what they're thinking. They sugarcoat things or say it in the PC way. Bob will take that clip and say exactly what probably a lot of the announcers are thinking. And people love it. I mean, I remember the first time I ever heard heard one of his clips. It was a college football game and a quarterback went off on a

sneak, like hurtled over a couple defenders, helicoptered into the end zone. And Bob and his voice, I'd never heard of Bob at the time, went off on like this tirade with a bunch of stuff in it. And I was like, oh my God, dude, this announcer just lost his mind in the call. He didn't even care. Like, oh, my God, this is unbelievable. And then I found out, you know, it was like a little parody, like a little clip from Bob. But that's the first time I heard about Bob. But his voice is so good, man.

And like people like that right now. I mean, I think some of this stuff is funny. Yeah. And he's working on becoming an R-rated sportscaster, which hopefully Thursday night football happens. And he's a part of that like he told us. But it's entertaining. And it's not for everyone.

But you know what? You have the option to change the channel. I think he's great and he's got a huge future ahead of him. I think there's a ton of people that would be interested in that R-rated broadcasting. We should have told him Jeremy Ronek, a former guest of ours, looking to do kind of the same thing. So it might be a rush to see who can get there first. But I think there's a huge market out there for just normal guys watching sports that don't really care about all the play-by-play stuff. Just want to hear funny, entertaining stuff the way they talk with their boys at home.

So I'm looking forward to see all that shakes out for him. It was a lot of fun with Bob Menry, but now something that's not as fun for me. I had a bad week. in our little gambling pool which I'm not happy about my picks are not really good starting out I'm just going to blame it on Rust but congratulations to you

you did very well last week producer mark would you like to give us a little update on the situation yeah well uh Friday evening things were not looking very good for Drew you know his boy Sung Jay it just you missed the cut you know and getting a little nervous there but

he came back big his uh his top pick ROM only finished T33 but But his two long shot picks, A Bancer, Tyrell Haddon, solo second, top, tied for third. And he has cut this deficit to an 800K lead. What was that? Was that 2.9 going into the last week? No, no, no, no.

Or 1.9, I mean? One point, yeah, around 1.75. Chop the mill off. It's fine. It's fine. It's no problem. A little disappointed. Some of my performances, but, you know, it's okay.

You did have a top 10 finish with Justin Thomas. Gary Woodland made the cut, but didn't do much for you after that. And then your long shots just, you know, didn't show up this week. That's what's frustrating for me, Sleez, is I had four long shots written down and I had to pick two of them. My other two long shots that I raced were Terrell Hatton and Abe Ancer. And I took those. And the two I take Luke List and Kevin Kisner both missed the cut. Yeah, the long shots is where you make up all your money.

I've been whiffing on my, I mean, I thought Sung J.M was a sure thing to play at least, you know, top 20, top 25, something like that. I've been whiffing on my big guys. but luckily my two when I looked up on Sunday in the nine holes left I was like they're both tied for the I was like one of them one of them's got to win this thing one and it would have wiped out the whole thing but baby steps for the sleeves yeah things getting a little good week good I got to have it this can't be just a runaway it was a good week for you but another massive week an unbelievable field at one of the most fun tournaments on the pGA tour the travelers championship up in Connecticut like I said star studded field it's with your victory last week you get the number one

pick with the first pick in the 2020 traveler's championship the sleazy man selects bryson de chambo you're going to do it 14 to one this the first this everyone's excited but see bryson right now i'm most excited to see him here because like colonial and harbortown don't really let you just air out the driver all over the place i think he can do it pretty much as much as he wants to this week and i'm excited and dude this is crazy when i was looking at his stats he hasn't finished outside the top eight in his last five but going back outside of that top 15 and eight of his last nine i mean he He hasn't had a bad week. So I need one of my top dogs to show up because my lower guys have been carrying the weight.

Bryson, I got, I mean, I feel pretty good about that. So you think you can smash it all over this, this golf course based on based on your history there or what? Based on Tiger Woods Golf, A, don't ever come at me like that, you little hater. And B, it's just if he wants to hit driver here, he can do it. Colonial, there's so many holes in Harbor Town, especially. Like, you just can't hit driver. Here, he can't. If he wants to, he can try to do it.

Well, I like the pick. I obviously selected two guys because if, I can't pick the same guy as you. And Bryson was my number one pick as well. Okay. But I'm going to go a guy that thinks he's found it. He thinks he's back. Me?

No, not you. You always think you find it. I think until the next time you tee it is. I'm pretty sure I have. This guy's 20 to 1. He doesn't have a great track record here. But when I think of this golf course, I'm just like, oh, my, this guy should play really good here. And I'm encouraged with what I saw last week, Brooks Kepka.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. I'm going to go with him as my number one pick. He showed back up, almost snuck in there last week. Without that little shorty miss. the par five things could have been different but yeah he's starting to look like old brooks so hard to knock a brooks kept for sure it looks like he's feeling well um the need doesn't seem to be bothering him too much so i'm excited for him i don't know why i just i don't i don't have any reason

behind it i just look at the golf course and i'm like man this is but like most golf courses i think brooks yeah he can fit in anywhere all right our next pick from the 26 to one to 50 to one number a man that's got an unbelievable track record here three wins seems to always be in contention around this joint had to beat poor core corey paving in a playoff one year bubble bubble watson not a fair fight that was not it's not that is a different weight class the bubble watson is 33 to one um he's been playing a lot he's obviously played the last two weeks um i like what i'm seeing yeah there's a few places you circle on the calendar for boba especially here being probably one a riviera a couple others hard not to pick bubble with the track record there's really two guys that you should pick out

of this category you just picked one the other one being paul casey who has an unbelievable track record around here. I'm going off script here. I'm going to pick it. I'm not picking Paul Casey. I was fully invested to pick Paul Casey going into this. I'm going a little bit off at 28 to 1. You can get a man by the name of Justin Rose. He's showing a little bit of form recently. Third at Colonial, 14th at Harbor Town, two courses that don't really let him hit tons of drivers. But ever since he switched back to his old equipment, he's looked like the Justin Rose we've come to know for years and years. And also, I like the look at this going into the next week, 66, 65 on the weekend for Justin Rose. So something clicked on the weekend. He's finding it. I'm going to go should probably be

Paul Casey, but I'm not. Justin Rose 28 to 1. I like that. Yeah, I understand not picking Paul Casey. He hasn't played in quite a long time. He didn't play the first two, but I mean, his track record at at TPC. If Paul plays good this week, which you probably will, I'm going to feel like an idiot. There's two guys you should pick out of this category. You pick the one. I should have picked the other one, but I'm going with the gut here, gut called Justin Rose. All right. Well, we'll see what happens. Let's get to the dark horses. This is where it gets fun. This is where the money gets made. I'm I'm going to go with a guy that has played solid since he came back. He's got a 19th and a 21st, but from T to Green has been as good as anyone to just wait

for a week with the putter. I'm going, Corey Connors. He's going off at 80 to 1, by the way. You really like him. He's hitting it so good. I mean, he needs one week to put decent, and he's going to be right there. He was 80 to 1? 80 to 1.

Okay, my first pick is also 80 to 1. Finished T8 last year, T6, the year before. Little Bulldog Brian Harmon. I really like him around this joint. hasn't played really great lately, but he's 50th in the FedEx, so he's obviously had some form throughout the year. But just kind of a gut feeling, kind of like his style around here. He plays great there, even though in theory, like, it's not the track.

Like, he's not one of the bombers, quote, unquote, who seem to have so much success here. But for whatever reason, it fits his eye. He's playing good there. That's one that's awesome about this golf course is it's another one that any type of game can win. I mean, like I mentioned, Bubba Watson beat Corey Payton in a playoff. I mean, Scott Verplank was in a playoff there one year. I mean, Jordan Spee's not.

technically a bomber. Neither is Daniel Berger, and they're in a playoff when you're. Chez Revy won by four shots last year. It's one of those ones where anyone can win, it seems like. Yeah, and you mentioned Daniel Berger. He's WD this week. I'm shocked he's not playing after the couple weeks that he's had. And by the way, quick stat on him. He's got 35 rounds consecutively of par or better. I'm sorry, 32, only needs 35 to eclipse the great Tiger Woods for most consecutive rounds of par or better. I think he's made about two million the last two weeks. He's like, I'm going to go home and enjoy this a little bit. I'll just head back to the beach for a bit.

But yeah, all right, that's a good pick. I'm not going to hate on it. I wrote two down here. I was fully expecting you to pick one of them. That's why I audibled here. I had Scotty Sheffler at 80 to 1, but I'm not going to go with him. I'm going to move it up just a little bit. A guy that's been playing some pretty solid golf too.

Victor Hovland is 60 to 1. 23rd, 21st, the last two weeks. Not incredible, but pretty solid play coming back. 6866 to close out Harbortown 2. So he's coming off a great weekend there. I'll go with the young gunna. Victor Hovlin. Always love Victor Hovlin.

All right. Mine's 100 to 1. Okay, I see you. Yep, pretty long shot. But a guy, this is basically his hometown event. Finished T-Second last year, had a disastrous double bogey on the 71st hole coming down the stretch, was battling Chesrieve out. Finished tied for eighth in 2017. I know he wants to win this tournament.

It means so much to him. Keegan Bradley is my guy. Yep. Not a bad pick. Maybe a little bit easy. He played great last year. Maybe a little easier without all the distractions. and stuff to go with the fans and the ticket requests and all that stuff playing at home.

So yeah. Well, it's going to be, yeah, it's going to be an exciting week around an awesome golf course. Everyone enjoy the Travelers Championship. And we'll be back next week on Golf Subpar.
