And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akela Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 is about both of those things. As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority black city in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslave people.

Starting point is 00:02:02 I heart radio. The volume. What is going on, everybody? How are we doing? Hopefully everyone had a great weekend. Enjoying the summer months. And I was supposed to record a podcast with none other than Colin Cowher today, as we do many times throughout the year.
Starting point is 00:02:37 And obviously, we're not far away from football season. So I'm sure we were going to talk a little football. ball as well as the British Open, which is coming up. We love to gamble on that. He had some plain delay, so that's going to get moved till tomorrow. So keep an eye for that. I get up really early on Sunday and watch Chris Godderup, beat Rory McElroy, paired with them in the final group at the Renaissance Club in Scotland, where Rory won it a couple years ago.
Starting point is 00:03:05 I would say Rory was the heavy betting favorite to win it when you woke up or when the round ended on Saturday up until they teed off. But Chris Ginerup wins, and he was moved to tears with the man to Ballyonis. But looking forward this week, which in 2019, they played at Royal Port Rush, which was a Rory McElroy home game. He did not make the cut. But his close buddy, fellow Irishman Shane Lowry, won the event. So a lot of buzz coming into this event, some thoughts on guys to bet on, already placed
Starting point is 00:03:37 a couple little parlays yesterday sitting on the couch. So Taylor Gooch wins live in Spain. But John Rom, who I said coming into this week, I was keeping a close eye on shots six under today. And if it wasn't for Gooch out one under today, so it was close one by one shot. So John Rom almost won a home game in Spain, but God, I love him this week.
Starting point is 00:04:03 I love him a lot, so we will discuss that. As well as the American Century, which I just watched Joe Pavelski, about 20 minutes ago, have a walk-off eagle. He wins it in retirement. Steph Curry was making a charge and then hit it out of bounds and hit it in the water in the same hole on 18th. So he was 400 going in 18.
Starting point is 00:04:23 So it was awesome golf day. I mean, what a great middle of July, some great golf events, very fired up for the last major of the year. So this, we got a little bit, you know, some stuff to talk about today. But before we dive into any of that, you know, I got to tell you about my friends. my partners and the official ticketing app of this podcast, game time. Do you guys want to go to an event? Do you guys want to go to a concert?
Starting point is 00:04:50 My guy, Don Trell Willis, who actually is a Scottsdale resident, who calls games for the Dodgers. I saw him posting Morgan Wallen. He just played in Miami. You know what jersey he was rocking? The D-Train, baby. Three, five. I've seen Morgan Wallen a couple times.
Starting point is 00:05:07 He's pretty damn good. saw the backstreet boys rocking at the sphere you want to go to a concert you want to go to a comedy show you want to go enjoy yourself we got you covered save a little money search by venue you can search by the act

Starting point is 00:05:30 J OJN for $20 off down the game time app today last minute tickets lowest prices guaranteed okay the Scottish Open Chris Gotter up, who I googled this morning, because I'm always fascinated by a guy that is either young and hasn't done much, or like last week in Iowa, when a guy is older and hasn't done much, career earnings. And last week, I think Brian Campbell had won like a career $2.5 million, and then he wins like $1.5 million. Like that's just, I understand these guys get sponsor money, but they pay their own travel. It's got to be a grind, especially when you're in your mid-30s.
Starting point is 00:06:07 you got a family. A guy like Chris Goderup, young, in his mid-20s, won last year on the PGA tour. Again, a second-tier event. But still, like, got some sponsor money, like life's good. But a moment like this changes your life. And, you know, you got Nance, you got Emelman. They're all reiterating this.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Like, this moment, if he's able to win this, coming down the stretch, he has a lead. He's playing Rory. This is going to change his life. That's the crazy part about these moments in golf, which to me, there is something special when it's like Rory versus Scotty or Rory versus Bryson or Scotty versus Sander
Starting point is 00:06:44 or Ludwig versus Morcawa versus Scotty with Homa in the mix. In these majors recently we have had some big dogs go at it. You know, on the PGA tour on the regular events, sometimes that happens. Last year, Quail Hollow, Rory versus Xander and Rory blows them out of the water. But for the most part, a lot of the good events are like
Starting point is 00:07:05 Kirk Kiddiama going toe to toe with Xandr Shafley Rory McElroy in a playoff with J.J. Spawn. Now, obviously that age well because JJ ended up winning the U.S. Open. But I'm a sucker for, and I don't even want to say a no name, because I always use this. I try to put it into context of football. If Chris Goderup coming out of Oklahoma, where he went to college, had been a football player,
Starting point is 00:07:31 at worst, he would have been like the third overall pick. he had won the award that is basically the golf's Heisman trophy. To put it in the context of golfers, he was essentially sandwiched between Sahith the Gala and Ludwig Oberg. Those are the guys, Sahith won it two years before him, and Oberg won it literally the next year. So it went Goder up, Ludwig, won that they call it the Haskins Award. He also won the Jack Nicholas Award.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Again, this is like the MVP, the Heisman Trophy of College Golf. this guy was fucking elite. If he had been a basketball player, NFL player, I think the baseball drafts literally going on right now. Somehow Matt Holliday, who played forever in the big leagues,
Starting point is 00:08:14 who I grew up, awesome bald player. His one son was the number one overall pick a couple years ago to the Baltimore Orioles. His other son today was drafted number four overall. That's insane. But listen, you win these awards. You're an elite player in college.
Starting point is 00:08:31 Like people, there's a lot of hype for you coming in to the pros. And, you know, Goddrup, I don't want to say it's not gone well, but not everyone's Ludwig, right? Homa's a good example. Guy was one of the best players in college, gets to the pros, was really hard for a long time.
Starting point is 00:08:47 And Goder Up, you're just like, how's it going to go? And you get in the fork in the road moment. Like, honestly, today, if Goder Up had lost by two, and Rory McElroy would have won, one, everyone would have expected it and be like, God, buy some stock in this guy. He's showing signs.
Starting point is 00:09:01 but he outplayed Rory. I mean, he won by two shots. And honestly, it was kind of over by the time they, like, got the whole 17th. So I always think there's something special about that guy that's trying to make his career against an absolute superstar. You know, when I was a kid, if you did that, it never happened to Tiger in majors, but it happened to him in a regular events. If you beat him or Phil or Ernie or a guy like that in a regular event, I'd bet way back in the day if you did that to Jack or Lee Trevino. or Johnny Miller or Greg Norman. Now it's like if you go toe to toe with a Zander,
Starting point is 00:09:35 with a Scotty, with a Rory, back when Rom and DeCambeau, like it changes your life. Because not only do you win what comes along with winning, right, access to the majors, access to the top events, financially got her up, it only made a little over $2 million in his career,
Starting point is 00:09:54 which is awesome if you're 24, 25 years old. But, you know, relative to a lot of other players, not great. you win $1.7 million, so right away you don't have to think about money for a minute. You know, when you are, the way it's been explained to me, like Tiger or you, Tiger Forever with Nike, now Rory and Scotty that are Nike guys, they make so much money based on like world rankings, winning events, playing well in majors. Like, you get a big bonus for Nike for winning this tournament.
Starting point is 00:10:22 And he's right next to Rory. Honestly, it was a huge, nice little day for Nike golf. But I just thought watching a guy and, I thought his, his, it wasn't even a press conference, but his interview with Amanda at the end, where within like the first two sentences, he dropped shit on CBS. I'm like, this guy's just raw.
Starting point is 00:10:43 And then he just can't even talk because he's in tears. And the overcome with emotion. And honestly, maybe he would have been like that if he had beat me or you, but you can't convince me knowing that he slept, tied for the lead with Rory, playing with Rory in the final group. And then beating Rory McElroy, I don't know if his parents were there, it didn't feel like it.
Starting point is 00:11:05 I'm sure they're going to come over this week. But watching him do that, watching all the people that have been part of his life, from junior coaches to high school coaches to college coaches, I just beat Rory McElroy, who I don't know, won Pebble, won the players and won the masters this fucking year. I mean, I just, obviously he has, I'm sure, higher aspirations, but easily the biggest 18 holes of the kid's life. and easily the biggest thing he's ever done in his life. Not even close.
Starting point is 00:11:34 And to do that, you know, across the pond where... Here's the other thing. It's not Ireland, but 100% it's a Rory McElroy home game. People are not rooting for you. It's like last year with Brian Harmon in the open. Or two years ago, I guess it was two years ago, but Zander, like they want their own guys to win. They are rooting for Europeans.
Starting point is 00:11:56 I don't blame them. I would do the same thing. If you're playing over on, you know, Our side of the pond, we're going to root for Americans. Kind of the way it works. Rory's somewhat unique that way, but it's like, look ahead for this week. And honestly, I had said one of my biggest regrets was not hammering Rory in the Masters. Loved him, and I didn't get aggressive enough.
Starting point is 00:12:19 I then got off on the next couple of majors because of what he said. I think more than any other thing that I gamble on, I take a lot out of golfers press conferences. I don't take that much out of football press conferences. They don't mean that much to me, right? I don't gamble based on the press conferences. I gamble more on how a team's playing, injuries. There's a lot of different factors. But just in terms of what a coach is saying,
Starting point is 00:12:45 unless he literally just says, like, we suck, we're awful. It's like, yeah, I probably shouldn't bet on this team. But in golf, you get a lot of candid moments. I'm not playing that well. I'm searching. I feel lost. I know I shot a decent round today. but I do not feel good about my game.
Starting point is 00:13:01 And it's easy when you fall the golf press conferences, and I fall a lot of people that essentially aggregate them for me, that I'm like, eh, I'm kind of off this guy. Sometimes you're kicking yourself because like, oh, so-and-so withdrew. You know, I'm just going to, this didn't even happen, but Victor Hovlin withdraw with a bad elbow or fucked up wrist. It would be like,
Starting point is 00:13:20 would have been nice to know that three days ago, you know, and that's the one thing with golf, the injuries. But just in terms of their actual words, a lot of these guys are really candid. And worries of great. example. He's very, very open. It was clear how much the master is meant to him, right? And once he won that, I honestly bought into like, he's going to be freed, watch out. Maybe he wins like three of the next four majors. Clearly it went the complete other way. Like he's like, listen, guys, I ain't Michael Jordan,
Starting point is 00:13:46 I ain't Tom Brady. Like, I'm chilling. You know, I tried to go out to the range for three hours. Last about 45 minutes. I'm like, hey, shit, I can relate to that. He's like, once you climb out it's like it's hard to start back at the at the bottom and climb back i was like yeah kind of understandable again while i wanted him to say the opposite what he said was actually the most relatable human thing like i kind of take a deep breath and i didn't even try and then over the next couple majors and the rest you know that middle part of the season like he kind of mailed it in but in fairness to him he admitted it then i'm watching his press conference earlier this week he's like listen i actually feel kind of reinvigorated i came over here about 10 days ago uh i didn't i took a
Starting point is 00:14:26 a little bit of time off. I started playing and I feel like inspired. I feel excited. Now listen, sometimes you say that it doesn't equate to good golf and then you're watching this week. You're like, God, Roy's got a vibe. And then I pulled up some of his comments today. He said, I'm
Starting point is 00:14:42 about as close to where I was premasters. I think his exact pretty much there. To his form right now to what it was premasters. And honestly, he's a couple puts away today from easily winning me event. Like, I would not have liked Rory before this event because I'd be like, listen, I understand
Starting point is 00:15:03 it's going back to Royal Port Rush. His hometown means a lot to him. He's going to be, I actually think he's kind of re-inspired. This is sometimes when a guy wins right before a major, that's a lot to win before a major and then win again. Like, how often does that happen even like Tiger Woods? It's hard to just win back-to-back weeks. That's not normal. It's why we started anointing Scottie Shephler last last year, it's like, God, he just wins every time he plays. Kind of liked that he didn't win today because I love Rory this week. And I looked earlier today. It was on Draft King 7 to 1.
Starting point is 00:15:39 I'm going to bet him out right to win. I already bet him out right with like Hovland and Ludwig two top 10 just because I like dabbling to some of my parlays. But I think Rory, as of recording this at 4 o'clock Pacific Standard time on Sunday, is seven to one. I like that. Because Scotty Sheffler, I don't like it all. Not that he's not going to surprise me when he finished a seventh or eleventh or sixth.
Starting point is 00:16:05 The problem with Scotty is his odds are always so crappy if you don't like him to win. It's like, it's hard for me to bet minus 200 for him to top 10. And historically, he hasn't been great across the pond and watched him today. Unlike Roy, Roy, you're like, Ray had some pretty good puts. It was like, you know, shit, it's golf. Scotty's like, uh-uh, uh-uh, freaking out. It's like, bro, you just, need to calm down a little bit. Aren't you the best player in the world? Like why he gets very,
Starting point is 00:16:29 I don't know, rattled when things don't go perfectly. He's kind of complained a little bit recently. But I'm out on Scotty this week to win. Seven to one, Rory, like, I'm all over. And I think the momentum coming in, the vibe at this tournament at Royal Port Rush, I think there's going to be a tiger-like buzz, which, you know, I'm sure Rory has had, he had it in 2009. I think there's way more momentum in 2025 for Rory McElroy coming in this tournament. He's won three times. He is, I mean, if he were to win this tournament, he'd be a lock player of the year. He'd be the heavy favorite to probably win the FedEx Cup.
Starting point is 00:17:08 And I mean, I guess it's changed the way they do it. So I had to have to look to even the format. But let me rephrase that. Who knows who's going to win the FedEx Cup? Who cares? But if Rory wins this tournament, you know, I think I saw some quotes from Shane Lowry who said it's going to be a lot different this time around than it was the last time. Because last time around, it was all about Rory McElroy.
Starting point is 00:17:32 That was everything. I got to fly under the radar. And then I won the tournament and Rory missed the cut. This time around, Rory McElroy is still the headliner. But like, I don't get to fly under the radar. Last time they played it here, I won this tournament. They have pictures of me in the town. Like, I don't get to just hide behind a tree and then all of a sudden have the lead on Saturday.
Starting point is 00:17:53 It's like, hey, guys, I'm here. and Rory's at home. So I like Rory McElroy a lot this week. I really do. And we'll get into John Rom here in a second. 12 to 1, I kind of like him a lot too. I love John Rom. I'm going to treat John Rom this week like I have treated Bryce and Deschambeau
Starting point is 00:18:09 the last couple of years at the PGA and at the U.S. Open. To me, Otto Hammer top five and top 10. Because unlike Scottie, I can get him plus 240 to top five and plus 120 to top 10. The other guy I like a lot is Victor Hoffman. I just think when I close my eyes and envision like Victor Hovlin when he wins a major, you know, if you tell me Victor Hovlin's career ends and he's won a couple majors, I kind of envision this being one of them. And I don't know exactly what course,
Starting point is 00:18:38 but he just played well at the Scottish Open. I just think he's shown some momentum this year. I like Victor Hovlin. Ludwig's the tough one because he's played well at the Renaissance, Renaissance, club, but I watched him for a stretch yesterday where he had three holes. He was five over. Today he had a couple rough holes. At any moment, he can just like hit two of the best shots you've ever seen. But he also gets a little squirly. Who knows the weather. It's a huge variable always when they're playing the open, which I said it, I think last week, one of the things that makes
Starting point is 00:19:12 this tournament so cool, when you play tournaments, especially big tournaments, either the main PGA events or the majors in the states. If we see brown grass, we're like, what's going on? This is, where's the fucking green grass? Why are the greens? Why do they look brown? You guys fire the groundskeeper? They played one event at Chambers Bay and everyone is still complaining a decade later.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Like, what was up with that course? With the grass? What the hell happened there? Yet we go across the pond and no one complains about. anything. It's, I felt today it's like, yeah, half the course didn't even look close to green and no one cares and everyone's enjoying it. And to me, that's what makes this style of golf so great. It's like even when you hit a bad shot, you know, especially if you hit it low, you can run the ball up. It's just a style that we don't see over here. It's just a style that is, is something that is special
Starting point is 00:20:12 over here because people take golf trips to either Pinehurst or to, uh, to abandon dunes. Chambers kind of as well. That just doesn't look like the golf we play. And I get really, really excited to get up early in the morning and watch guys play this. And you also get a couple random names. To me, it's hard to pick the randos in this tournament. I completely understand that a random guy can win. And definitely there are going to be a couple, I would say, unique names in like the top 15 that no one saw coming.
Starting point is 00:20:48 but if you look last year Xander won it I think Rory I technically is not the favorite I think he should be the favorite right there with Scotty coming into this tournament same thing with Romm Fleetwood is a guy who finished second in this event when Shane won it in 2019
Starting point is 00:21:05 the hard part with him it's like I don't like betting Tommy Fleetwood to top 20 but speaking to some of the live guys Taylor Gooch who just won in Spain with a just late, late charge today with John Rom shooting six under, who played a home game, a lot like Rory's going to be playing today, who had similar comments of like, regardless of what the field strengths are when I've played the Spanish Open, when I come over here, I feel the pressure,
Starting point is 00:21:34 I feel the excitement, I feel it on the weight of my shoulders. I mean, I think when it's all said and done, there's a decent chance that he's known and passes Sevi Bolsteros as the greatest Spanish golfer to ever play the game. And that's something that clearly inspires him and something that he is shooting for and has the talent to do. I mean, he's already won a couple majors. I mean, I was thinking about today, if John Rom were to win this week, he would be one
Starting point is 00:22:04 win away from the Grand Slam. Like, that's pretty crazy. Like, he's already checked the Masters in the U.S. open off. So I think John Rom is showing signs today, shooting six under, the momentum he has coming into this tournament, the good vibes he had. of recent really good play in the majors, which last year was kind of a weird year. Though he finished seventh in this event,
Starting point is 00:22:25 I think, you know, when Zander won it. So I like Rom a lot. Bryson's a guy like, I'm off. And he's a guy, if you listen to me and you follow by bet my gambling. I love betting on Bryson D. Shebaugh, especially, you know, the last couple years in these majors. I mean, the Masters has been profitable. if you've hammered him the top 10 and the top 20.
Starting point is 00:22:48 And that was a tournament that a lot of people used to laugh at him when it came to that. But the PGA Championship, obviously the U.S. Open this year, obviously missed the cut. But over the last couple of years, I mean, just an absolute force of nature. I don't like him across the pond. I don't like him in the elements. And when you look at his history in this tournament, he only has one good event. And he finished, I think, eight in 2022. Other than that, like he's not even finishing.
Starting point is 00:23:15 in the top 25. I mean, this is a guy that, you know, if he misses the cut, no one's really surprised. And I think this gets back to, you know, I think what Rory, a big step he took this year was like kind of some different shots. And even he talked about it. He spent a lot this offseason of working on flighting his wedges. And I remember betting on him two years ago when he was paired with Scotty Sheffler in 2000, it would have been 2004 in the Masters on Thursday and Friday. And it was like, Scottie's in a different world. And that had to rattle him a little bit. And I think this off, because a huge part of it, it was windy and he was, he was ballooning
Starting point is 00:23:50 these wedges and these short irons. And you watch him now, he's way more comfortable with it. That's why I'm not shocked that he won a pebble or obviously he won the Masters because it's a huge part of his game now. And I think John Rompe clearly has that as well. The thing with Bryson, he's so analytical. It's like a science experiment. Well, to get a good, and listen, I didn't listen much in chemistry or biology, but I know
Starting point is 00:24:11 the least amount of variables that you introduce and experiment, the easier it is to control the experiment. Well, when you go across the pond, one, their greens are pretty slow. Their greens are not fast. And Bryson has become a really, really good putter. Well, why aren't they fast? Because it protects against the element. My buddy, Jeff Fong, who I play with here in Scottsdale, went on a boy's trip over at St. Andrews and just played all around there. And he said, do you know the craziest thing about the golf over there? It's the only time in my life where I, you really have to, on these intense wind days, factor in the wind to your putting.
Starting point is 00:24:50 It's not even just the break or the slope of your given put. You have to factor in the wind. And for the most part, that doesn't play a huge factor over here. And I think that really rattles them. And the other thing is, like, you can play all these different type shots. For the most part, when you watch Bryce and kicking ass and taking names, he does two things. he slams driver off the tea and then he's a short wedge
Starting point is 00:25:16 where you kind of stick it close and the other thing of this you watch them play this week it's like there aren't trees there's not really rough there's kind of that like
Starting point is 00:25:27 wispy long grass I just think I love Ron this week and I'm out on Bryson but the Taylor Gooch winning who has won a lot on live I would say no one has financially benefited more in terms of what they were potentially going to make making the jump.
Starting point is 00:25:47 Like obviously Dustin Johnson and Bryson and Kepka and Phil made a ton of money going to live golf. You know, reportedly Phil got $200 million. John Rom might have got like $300 million. Bryson Kepka got $125, $150. Those guys twofold. One, they were already filthy rich. And whether they had jumped or not, they were going to continue to be filthy rich, especially
Starting point is 00:26:10 Bryson and Rom. Obviously changed the course of their life. But like the house that Bryson does the YouTube where he hits the ball over the house, would that house not have existed? If he hadn't gone to live, of course not. Like, he was building that house either way. Taylor Gooch is a guy who was playing really well
Starting point is 00:26:27 when he made the jump and was a good get for Lyft. He has made $60 million the last two and a half years playing on Lyft. $60 million. dollars. And listen, he essentially forfeited playing in a lot of the majors for the money. And to me, if he had made $10 or $5 million, he has to just close his eyes every night and just go, I changed the, I mean, I became like an NBA six man. I became an NFL starting guard by making this jump. And he's played really well. And one of, I think this is his, I couldn't tell if it was completely,
Starting point is 00:27:09 updated or not. I think this is with his fourth win on Liv. In 2003, he won their equivalent to the FedEx title. He got an $18 million bonus. So a huge part of the $60 million was the $18 million bonus. But when you factor in every time you win, you get $4 million. Taylor Gooch has taken advantage of the Live economics in terms of actually on the course more than any player. And honestly, I would imagine the only guy that's close would be like Joaquin Neiman at this point, not counting the bonuses in which they paid you to come over. But yeah, Taylor Gooch is just going to chiching all the way to the bank. God, I'm fired up.

Starting point is 00:29:54 We just contributed to a... We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it.
Starting point is 00:30:10 And... Oh, we were thinking I'm originally... calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, people could call in and say, hey, Jonas.
Starting point is 00:30:27 And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

Listen, Lina Rabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now, and I actually can win on any surface, because if she's serving, well, good luck.

Starting point is 00:32:45 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. Really quick before we get into a couple of your at-Golopod, at-Golopod questions. I watched a lot of the American Century Classic.
Starting point is 00:33:10 Today was actually pretty interesting because the only current athlete who is excelling is Steph Curry. So basically Steph Curry against Pavelski who's retired. Romo, who walks like he's 75 years old, even though he's 45, is back screwed. John Smoltz, who's like 60 years old. Mulder who's been retired forever, whose kid is like 17 and one of the best golfing prospects, I think, in the country. So he's playing all these guys who were retired.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Honestly, the first couple days I thought Steph kind of looked like a guy who's still playing, has a big family, probably doesn't play as much golf as he did a decade ago. but is to me of all these guys, if I had to pick one player to go just to any random tournament and who hasn't got a chance to practice that much, I think he's my pick. Now, relative to these other guys, I bet Mulder and Pavellski play way more golf currently than Curry,
Starting point is 00:34:07 but Curry's making this run. He won it two years ago. He's 400 par going into 18, where he eagled two years ago. Now, ultimately Pavellski ended up. eagling the hole so it wouldn't have mattered. But Steph had one of the most relatable holes I've ever seen. I know here where I play at TPC Scottsdale,
Starting point is 00:34:25 I have had more times on hole 15, which is kind of a famous par five. I've eagled it, I've birded it. I've also hit it into the water multiple times. Or hit it onto the road and then another shot into the water. Most of us have had a par five where we have lost multiple balls to a penalty. That's out of bounds,
Starting point is 00:34:47 water hazard, you name. Steph pumps his first drive out of bounds. Didn't know that was possible if it wouldn't have been for 15 minutes earlier. Travis Kelsey pumps it out of bounds as well. I'm like, God, I didn't even know you could hit it OB on this course. They hit it onto the driving range. Then his second shot, which is actually his fourth shot, he's trying to be aggressive. I guess it was a third shot because he had a provisional.
Starting point is 00:35:09 He's trying to be aggressive because he's got nothing to lose and he pumps it into the water. And it was just like, golf will humble you. He was about to shoot 68. and make, I don't know if he, he wouldn't have won, but I think he would have finished second. Let's just assume he birdies the hole. And he ends up, I think makes a double. And doesn't even finish close to the lead.
Starting point is 00:35:30 It ends up finishing like fifth or sixth. But it's just, if you listen to me to say this a couple weeks ago, one thing football has that basketball doesn't, I think there's just such a relatability to their guys. And a lot of the clips going viral this week, Rogers actually feels more like an NBA player. He's like storing by guys, not sign him on autographs. You got Baker Mayfield, shotgunning beers with dudes wearing number six jerseys from Cleveland
Starting point is 00:35:57 and walking up like bad day to be a beer. And the whole time Jason Kelsey, Travis Kelsey, all these guys, Josh Allen, Sam Darnold are just drinking. And this event basically has turned into an NFL kickoff party with four or five retired athletes trying to win it with Steph Curry is kind of the headline. but I knew multiple people that were in Tahoe this weekend and their wives couldn't stop talking about how are we going to see Taylor Swift? Where is Taylor Swift?
Starting point is 00:36:25 Rumors are that Taylor Swift is here. And the other thing is Barkley talked about this, I think, on Saturday afternoon on the 17th hole when he was sitting there with Smiley. He said a lot of guys want in on this event because the event's never been cooler. And listen, I don't want to say golf was dead.
Starting point is 00:36:45 It was not in a good point. place pre-2020. And it not only brought it to life, it's added a lot of athletes started to play. Kyle Uschek said that he thought 40 guys on the team play. He's like, hell, even Nick Bosa picked it up within the last year and he's already broken 90. I did not know that George Kittle played golf and he entered this tournament. So I think it's been hard for some of these older celebrity athletes who aren't as
Starting point is 00:37:11 relevant anymore. At the moment, a guy like George Kittle says, I won in. someone's getting kicked out. And Barclay said that. A lot of old guys are complaining because they don't get access to this tournament anymore. I remember 20, 30 years ago
Starting point is 00:37:23 when the tournament just started. Definitely when I was a kid, there were always big names. I remember Elway used to play Gretzky, Marino, but there were a lot of random people. Now, I didn't know Jason Kelsey played golf. Neither did most people.
Starting point is 00:37:35 The last two years, I wanted it on this event because Travis is playing, and they're going to be, I would say, consistent stalwarts to this event moving forward. And it's essentially a bunch of NFL guys slamming beers with the fans.
Starting point is 00:37:49 But it's also unlike waste management, which can be almost like a fraternity party turned like just can get a little off the rails. This event feels pretty family friendly and pretty kid friendly. There's a fine balance of like, there's going to be a lot of booze here. A lot of people are going to be slamming drinks,
Starting point is 00:38:09 including the players, but you can bring your kid here and it's very enjoyable. I'm watching the other day, Jerry Rice is playing. He doesn't even realize they're like, look who it is. It's Joe Montana. And Joe Montana comes out there. Everyone gives him a standing O.
Starting point is 00:38:23 And it's just a really, really unique, cool event. And I'm glad that so many guys have taken up golf. Even Sam Darnold talked about this yesterday when he was on the broadcast. He said, you know, I didn't play golf up until about five, six years ago. And coming out of college, I became such good friends. Because I was thinking about this, too, the draft class, Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, and Josh Allen pick one, pick three, and pick seven, I would bet my money on all these guys playing in this event for a long time.
Starting point is 00:38:52 Josh is a lock. Baker looks like he's having the time of his life. I follow his wife's for some reason on Instagram. They're out playing Flip Cup on the lake after the rounds. Like, just fucking having a good time. Sam Darns, like, I didn't even play golf. But I started hanging out with Josh Allen and Kyle Allen, who were in my draft class, and we started hanging out in the offseason.
Starting point is 00:39:11 And then they started playing a lot of golf. It's like, what am I going to do? just sit at home when they go out and have a good time. So I've gotten into it. And he hit one of the better shots of the week where he stuffed this, I don't know what, it was 7, 8, 6 iron. On hole 18, had a short eagle putt, missed it, but still made a birdie. I think it's just really cool.
Starting point is 00:39:32 So I thoroughly enjoy that event. Can't get enough of it on television. Like the competition on Sunday, but to me Friday and Saturday are all about, you know, Aaron Rogers throwing a 70-yard bomb to some dude in a boat. The Kelsey's doing a shotgun beer race with a couple random fans. You just don't get that anywhere else.
Starting point is 00:39:52 And there's like a organic nature of everyone having a good time. And for those that you don't realize, like they play in Nevada. This event is in Nevada. So if you've never been there, you can enter Tahoe, which you basically have to
Starting point is 00:40:04 unless you fly and come from the Reno side. But either California side, like it's just on the lake, but California rules. There's no gambling or anything. Once you cross that Nevada a state line, there are casinos. So, they are just casinos, you can gamble. The lake is pretty strict. Like, there's no, like, having one beer and driving a boat. Like, the lake is very strict.
Starting point is 00:40:27 But once you cross that state line, it's like, it's like two different worlds, even though it's just separated by an imaginary line. And it's pretty awesome. So it's like, whenever I see these guys out on a boat, having a good time, it's like, I was just there. I'm jealous. I wish I was back. Okay, let's take a couple of you guys questions at Golopod, at Golopod, and we will fire out some of your DMs. Again, some of my best this week, Rory to win, Rom to win, Victor to win, Victor to win. Victor, in terms of a guy that could win, his odds, I mean, Roy 7 to 1, ROM's 12 to 1.
Starting point is 00:41:06 You get Victor Hovlin right now 30 to 1. You can get him to top 10 at plus 280, meaning you bet $100, you will get $380 back. Honestly, his odds at plus $5.50 to top five. Same thing with Ludwig. To me, Ledvig's a little bit of a wild card. I might take Ludwig to top 20.
Starting point is 00:41:27 Can you get them in plus odds at top 20? Ludwig to top 20. You get him plus 120. I feel like Shane Lowry's going to miss the cut. Okay, let's bang out some of your questions. I got some ideas. Love the golf coverage when the NFL dies down. First, I'm here with YouTube TV split screen and Live in the Scottish Open,
Starting point is 00:41:53 and not one time has Liv been on a commercial, and the Scottish hasn't been, so I flip the sound. And objectively, Liv has shown so many shots, and Farity is good. So my question is, why does everyone always talk about how low the Liv ratings are? I watch more golf than maybe 90% of people, but when Liv is on, I tend to have it pulled up because of the, actually you see golf shots. Second, the classic. Who do you have on the Ryder Cup team as of now?
Starting point is 00:42:23 For me, Scotty Bryson, Zander, J.J.J. J.T. Henley, Morikawa. Then win again, make it to East Lake is Cantley and Burns. I'd like to take Reed and Keegan. And for my last, I'd take Brooks. I won't. I think we talked about this before when it comes to live. Their business model, right? Their business deal with Fox.
Starting point is 00:42:48 is, it's not like Fox gave them $100 million. So for Fox to make that money back, they have to sell a bunch of ads. I mean, let's call a spade a spade, live essentially like paid Fox for the rights to broadcast their rights, you know, to get them on that channel. So there is no incentive for Fox, like they don't feel obligated to show the TV commercials. Part of the reason you see a lot of commercials on the PJ tour, because they spent so much money on CBS, spent so much money to the PGA tour.
Starting point is 00:43:24 Same thing with NBC to buy the rights to their broadcasts. So the only way they can make their money back, and listen, I'm not condoning like the consumer product because it's not great for us seeing commercial after commercial, but from a financial standpoint, they spent all this money and you can say overspent, and they have to make it back to make a profit. This is business, this isn't a charity.
Starting point is 00:43:47 And that's why we get screwed. And I think they've tried to be like, look, you can see the playing side by side when they show the ad and it's muted and you still playing it. It's like, guys, this isn't the same. So from a, if the PJ tour was broadcast like Liv in terms of the shot after shot, these networks would make no money. And they have to make their money back. So in the thing with golf, unlike football, which CBS spends a ton of money for, it's easy to get the ads in. one there are several TV timeouts I don't know the exact number let's just say four
Starting point is 00:44:19 during a football game and then they're just random and automatic like timeouts and two minute warnings and injury stoppages that are going to come up so it's easy you know guaranteed if you have four TV timeouts again I could be up maybe it's six
Starting point is 00:44:36 and each two minute warning you have guaranteed ad space where in golf like once I tee off if I'm Rory and Goder up, I'm playing 18 holes. I don't, maybe you have a little break in the action between my shots,
Starting point is 00:44:55 but other people are playing as well. I have defended golf forever on this. It is a way more difficult television product to monetize and not have people pissed off than basketball and football. Same thing with baseball. What happens every time there's three outs? You go to a football.
Starting point is 00:45:15 fucking break. What happens in football every time there's a time out or a review, you can go to break. In golf, once people start playing, there's not really a break. Everyone's hitting shots on the course. So I don't think it's, I think it's more complicated than that. I said tongue in cheek, Patrick Reed should be on the team. I think it's going to be much more difficult for us to create a team than it is for them. I think their team is dramatically better than ours. Honestly, I don't even think it's close. When you factor in Rory, Rom, Hovlin, Ludwig,
Starting point is 00:45:49 Hatton, you know, you could have Justin Rose is going to be like their 12th player. They are, you got Hoygard brother, always screw up which one's better, but one of them's damn good. You got Shane Lowry.
Starting point is 00:46:04 I mean, they're just good. Their team is just better than us. Do I feel great about Morikawa? I don't. Do I feel great about Justin Thomas? Like, I just don't. Do I feel great. great about, you know, I don't think Kepka is going to be on the team.
Starting point is 00:46:20 You know, Zander, Zander actually played better this week, but he plays well at this course. I mean, I like JJ Spawn. Incredible story. Had a great freaking season. Is he going to be good in the Ryder Cup? Honestly, I have, like, more faith than Russell Henley. If you told me, who do I have the most faith in? You go, Scotty Bryson.
Starting point is 00:46:43 I just, I feel those guys. I mean, Bryson's made for the Ryder Cup. made for it. I feel like Russell Henley would probably be pretty good. I think we're in trouble. I mean, I think it's pretty wide open. Keegan told Riggs this week,
Starting point is 00:46:57 he's like, unless you automatically qualify, you are not a lock. So if you do not automatically qualify, which six guys do, you're just not a lock. You could argue that they should change it from like six to like three
Starting point is 00:47:12 and have nine picks. Basically saying, just because you're seventh. I mean, is he talking to Can't Lay? Who's you talking to there? Now, the problem, Can't Lay feels like he's on scholarship. One, Can't Lay is like a pretty good team golfer.
Starting point is 00:47:29 And last Rider Cup, he gets into it. Like, I kind of like Can't Lay in that event. I despise watching Can't Lay anytime beside the Rider Cup. No Hat Pat. And he was excellent. Like, he got into it. He was fucking waving his no hat. And he's Zander's teammate.
Starting point is 00:47:45 So I can't lay probably on the team. A quick golf story. I've recently shot my best round with a 78 at a local muni. Congratulations. A week or so later, I went to the Outer Banks with the Fam, booked the tea time, and some random dudes at Kilmark. Never heard of this course.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Kilmark. Beautiful course, but it's tight and could be with water and hazards everywhere. You look. Dudes I was playing with were lower handicaps, and my partner was playing at about an 11. anyways that round my irons were awesome when my putting let me down still beat the other three guys and shot a 92 left there feeling extremely proud of the way i played especially only losing one ball
Starting point is 00:48:30 while the other guys lost at least two or more question have you ever had anything similar happen i almost i was almost more proud of that round than i was of the 78 cheers from west virginia I've shot underpar on a real course one time in my life. It was at this course called Castlewood in Pleasanton, California. It's actually like 36 holes, which is pretty rare in the Bay Area. I think John Gruden used to live out there. I know Devante and Derek Carr, guys like that used to play out there. Cool course.
Starting point is 00:49:05 I actually joined right before six months before I moved here because under 40 years old at the time, they had a deal $1,000. you could join the course. So I had a buddy Brian who's like, let's do it. I was like, hell yeah. So I was playing out there a lot. One course was in the hills was pretty hard. It was just unique golf, weird shots.
Starting point is 00:49:26 And then one short was called the Valley course. It was pretty flat. But you still like, you know, even if you're a good golfer, it's not the easiest course. But you can kind of spray it around. And I shot 71. And I remember thinking like halfway through the round, and I looked, I was like, even par or one.
Starting point is 00:49:41 I'm not even playing that good. spraying my drive everywhere. I think I made some puts, hit some good iron shots, but I did not feel like I played well. And I've had times where I've shot 76, 77. I just played my brother on Monday at Inclined Village golf course. It's like a resort-style course.
Starting point is 00:50:01 And I was three over par after hole 11. Because I shot five over on the front, and then I burdied 10 and I birdied 11. I'm like, I'm playing really well. I just had a couple three putts. one shitty three wood off the tee but I'm like I'm playing really really well and then I end up triply bogey 17 and just end up shooting like 80 I was like I felt like I played like low 70s 74 75 so it's it's kind of golf pros talk about this all the time I played well I just didn't
Starting point is 00:50:35 score or god I shot pretty low I kind of got lucky had a couple chipped it in once hit a couple long 20 footers. I think my best round ever at TPC Scottsdale I played the men's T's so not the back T's and I think I shot 74 but I had like five
Starting point is 00:50:55 birdies and I made I think three of those five birdies were 15 20 feet so it's like how often are you making 20 footers for birdie? Not that often so the round easily could have been like 80 a mailback question. Being from Portland, or I would love the tour to bring golf to the Pacific Northwest.
Starting point is 00:51:19 We have some awesome golf and awesome weather during the summer. My question is, is there any way the tour can get a tournament out here? Having so many in Texas and Florida seems short-sighted. I forget the course that Liv played like three years ago, but it was in Oregon. And I think they used to have the U.S. amateur there. it might have been like one of their first events when the when live started but obviously chambers a couple years ago not a couple i mean decade i think was met with a lot of pushback i'm with you i i it doesn't feel like it and i i do wonder if the contingency of players uh that live in texas and live in florida have a lot of pull on the scheduling because let's face it for the most part
Starting point is 00:52:11 you're not rotating that many random golf courses on the PGA tour. If you just start at the beginning of the year and work your way through about now, you have a pretty good idea where they're playing. I mean, besides the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open that rotate, most of their golf courses do not rotate. And I kind of feel like, I don't want to say on scholarship, but kind of, like Rive and Pebble Beach are never going away. Torrey Pines is never going away.
Starting point is 00:52:40 TBC Scottsdale, never. never going away. So basically their events through January and March, or excuse me, January and February, set. Once they go to Florida, Bay Hill, the Honda, which is now called something different, the players kind of set. Now, you could argue after the Masters,
Starting point is 00:52:59 they play Hilton Head, that Texas kind of swing, maybe they could change a little bit. But then they, you know, Memorial, TBC, is it, is it, Boston they play. There's probably some openings that they could maybe even early fall.
Starting point is 00:53:17 They could make a change and come up there. Maybe they'd be scared of the rain. But I just don't think there's that many openings for new courses to get in the rotation. Hey, it's us to Jonas Brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news? Huge news.
Starting point is 00:53:38 We created our own podcast called. Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. writing a trend. But this one's extra special. So how do we
Starting point is 00:53:53 actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this.
Starting point is 00:54:13 We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast where people could call in and say, hey Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little Notepad Hey Jonas and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

I'm Renee Stubbs. And on the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris. Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on clay. Jen Chinchin win.
Starting point is 00:56:14 I mean, she went down. three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lena Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any surface. Because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open.

Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. Can I tell you about my friend? friends at Mando. Here's the thing. Summer is upon us. Where I live, I think it's 110 degrees a day. And I'm a sweater. And I don't like smelling. So the key with Mando and their deodorant, it has sweat control. So not only does it block the odor all day, but it controls my sweat. I don't like to just be soaked if I'm just walking outside to grab something out of my car. And here's the thing. It was created by a doctor who saw firsthand how normal B.O. was being misdiagnosed and mistreated.

Starting point is 00:58:13 Tell them we sent you. Mando's got you covered. Protect your pits, baby. Smell great doing it. Have to confirm your comments about TPC Deer run. Terrific track and very reasonably priced. Got to play it a week after the 23 John Deer and the rough was unreal. To put into context, to join TPC, Scottsdale, it's like 15K.
Starting point is 00:58:43 I think like five years ago it used to be like four. But obviously golf inflation. That's what it costs to play. And then you get full access to both courses. You can practice there. You get, you know, 20% off clubs and attire. You get all this stuff. But it's expensive for a course that is not fully private, right?
Starting point is 00:59:04 TPCs, in all these TPCs, the players, Frisco, they all do it. TPC deer run, which is not, I don't think, open full 12 months a year, cost $4,000 to join. $4,000. It's like, that's got to be one of the better deal. I text a bunch of people like, this might be the best deal in America. That is an incredible deal. So if you live in Iowa
Starting point is 00:59:27 and you can come up with 4 G's and you like golf, I'm telling you, that feels to me like one of the better deals in this entire country when it comes to golf, high level course, PGA course. My question is this, give me your 12 golfers for the Ryder Cup.
Starting point is 00:59:46 Disregard the stupid rankings. I mean, I don't really. have them. I am wide open. I would say after Scotty, Xander, I mean, JJ's on the team, Henley's on the team, Morikawa's on the team. I would put Keegan on the team. Bryson's on the team. To me, Keegan's on the team. I think this week's pretty big. I mean, if some American, you know, would have JJ spawned, I guess he's already on the team. Yeah, I don't know. I don't feel good about like Sam Burns. I wish Kepka was playing well.
Starting point is 01:00:21 He's just not. We just, I just don't feel like we're very deep. You know, Wyndham Clark showed signs of life and I'm not playing him. Homa has not played well this year. You know, Finaw's a guy who's played on the team a lot. You know, DJ is kind of sailing in the sunset,
Starting point is 01:00:42 literally. I just do not feel good about our squad. I don't know who Jake Knapp. I don't know. I think we lose. I really do. I think we're in major trouble. I think we are in major trouble.
Starting point is 01:01:00 Does Bryce and Des Chambot have a shot at the career Grand Slam? Sure, I mean, just because he's a great player, but I would bet against it. I would take the odds. If you told me he wins five majors, I kind of see him having like a Kepka type career. he's already won two U.S. opens. Maybe he wins another U.S. Open and a couple PGAs. I don't think he's ever going to win the Open.
Starting point is 01:01:26 And the Masters is hard to win. Though he can win the Masters. He can win the Masters. So maybe he wins the Masters, two U.S. Opens and like a PG. Maybe he gets to like four. Bryce gets to four. That would be pretty incredible. It's hard.
Starting point is 01:01:39 But I just have a hard time seeing him win the Open. I mean, think about it. Like, who's the first? is anyone else going to win the career grand slam? Scotty has a Masters, Scotty is a PGA. I would say that Scotty and Rom have a better opportunity. Obviously they have two to go, Bryson S3, but just like if you told me those guys won the two tournaments
Starting point is 01:02:06 that they need to win, very believable. Even Scotty, who has not played well in the open, is it conceivable that he wins an open? Yes. I would say it's more conceivable that Rom wins one. but could I see Scotty like Scotty feels like a lock to win a U.S. Open.
Starting point is 01:02:23 He's at the right course. He's putting well. He's not frustrated. Like I can see that happening. So I would say Bryce is not going to win the career grand slam. I would say one of the two does it between Rom and Scotty
Starting point is 01:02:37 and potentially they both do. But there's not many guys in the history of the sport that have done that. So it's, it would be a pretty, it's hard to do. Because usually like Trevino's a good example of a guy that he just didn't play very well at
Starting point is 01:02:53 the Masters. And I think he talked about that when he first started playing there the racial tensions for this Mexican guy were not great. There were a couple of years where he didn't even go but he never finished better than 10th at the Masters. And Trevino is easily one of the greatest players of all time. He won all other three majors
Starting point is 01:03:17 twice. And he just couldn't win the Masters. I mean, not only could he not win the Masters, he just wasn't very good there. Cuts and 47s and cuts and T-18s. I mean, his best finish was T-10. The other majors, he was just rattling off dominant performances. That to me is more likely for most guys.
Starting point is 01:03:42 There are great players. Like, more than likely you're not going to win the Grand Slam. Hell, it took Rory a decade to finish that bad boy. A decade. Jordan Speed, who if I would have told you seven, eight years ago, he's not going to win the Career Grand Slam. He's like, are you insane? Jordan Spee's not going to win the Career Grand Slam?
Starting point is 01:03:59 Jordan Spice never win the Career Grand Slam. Congrats to Jordan, though, on his third child, Sully? Very, very cool. But we'll have some football podcast this week. And again, Rory, 7 to 1. Rom, 12 to 1, but I like him to top 5 in top 10. The Hovlin, top 10. Ludwig, top 20.
Starting point is 01:04:20 You can sprinkle top 10 as well. But Hovelin would be kind of my long shot of 30 to 1. Volume. Hey guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast?
Starting point is 01:04:43 Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being and ask questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it.

I'm Akela Hughes, and Rebel Spirit season two is about both of those things. As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority black
