Tonight, we've got Buttsy with us, and we've

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,494
First off, we're gonna go back to the best from
pro golf last week.
5
00:00:17,494 --> 00:00:19,574
We're gonna go over all those recaps.

So we've got the BMW PGA Championship recap.
7
00:00:23,015 --> 00:00:28,855
We've got the LIV Golf Team Championship recap,
and then we've got the Swannies style segment
8
00:00:28,855 --> 00:00:31,720
right in the middle, right in the heart of the
episode today.
9
00:00:31,859 --> 00:00:37,299
And then we've got a special announcement as we
have a new tour insider that is going to be
10
00:00:37,299 --> 00:00:40,520
joining the pod on a weekly basis.
11
00:00:40,659 --> 00:00:41,159
Yeah.
12
00:00:41,219 --> 00:00:42,260
I'm excited to announce this.
13
00:00:42,260 --> 00:00:43,299
We won't say his name yet.
14
00:00:43,299 --> 00:00:43,539
Right?
15
00:00:43,539 --> 00:00:45,454
We're gonna it's gonna be like a surprise.
16
00:00:45,454 --> 00:00:45,655
It's
17
00:00:45,655 --> 00:00:46,715
gonna be a surprise.
18
00:00:46,934 --> 00:00:47,434
Surprise.
19
00:00:47,655 --> 00:00:48,155
Surprise.
20
00:00:48,295 --> 00:00:48,795
Surprise.
21
00:00:49,094 --> 00:00:52,295
And then we've got the preview of the
Presidents Cup.
22
00:00:52,295 --> 00:00:58,560
So our tour insider is gonna go over some of
the analysis with us as well during that
23
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,659
segment, and that's gonna wrap up the show.
24
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:06,260
So without further ado, we wanna give a
shoutout to our sponsors, Swannies Golf.

I'm rocking their gear tonight.
28
00:01:22,685 --> 00:01:25,104
I've got actually the tiger shirt underneath.
29
00:01:25,390 --> 00:01:27,090
It's like black on black.
30
00:01:27,310 --> 00:01:28,210
It's sick.
31
00:01:28,270 --> 00:01:31,090
This is just a phenomenal material.
32
00:01:31,630 --> 00:01:33,730
I got this and they still sell this.
33
00:01:34,109 --> 00:01:35,010
Is that saffron?
34
00:01:35,310 --> 00:01:41,010
This is the quarter zip, little athletic gear
and really, really comfortable.
35
00:01:41,405 --> 00:01:45,584
So really comfortable in studio, really
comfortable on the golf course.
36
00:01:46,045 --> 00:01:49,424
Can get you through some of those nipply type
of weather moments.
37
00:01:49,885 --> 00:01:50,765
I'll tell you what, man.
38
00:01:50,765 --> 00:01:52,765
I've been wearing golf clothes to bed lately.
39
00:01:52,765 --> 00:01:53,500
Oh, yeah.
40
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:56,219
That'll that'll that'll stink up your mattress
real quick.
41
00:01:56,219 --> 00:01:57,420
Not like after.
42
00:01:57,420 --> 00:01:57,579
No.
43
00:01:57,579 --> 00:01:58,780
Like, I put them on.
44
00:01:58,780 --> 00:01:59,019
Yeah.
45
00:01:59,019 --> 00:01:59,659
They're comfy.
46
00:01:59,659 --> 00:01:59,900
Right?
47
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:02,619
They're more comfortable than even, like, a
T-shirt.
48
00:02:02,619 --> 00:02:03,119
Yeah.
49
00:02:03,180 --> 00:02:03,500
Yeah.
50
00:02:03,500 --> 00:02:04,560
I'm with you, actually.
51
00:02:04,619 --> 00:02:06,939
I have slept in the Swannies clothing a lot.
52
00:02:06,939 --> 00:02:07,340
I'm not a
53
00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:08,560
You know what I'm saying?
54
00:02:09,044 --> 00:02:09,365
Yeah.
55
00:02:09,365 --> 00:02:10,824
After a show, for instance?
56
00:02:10,885 --> 00:02:11,205
Yeah.
57
00:02:11,205 --> 00:02:11,525
Yeah.
58
00:02:11,525 --> 00:02:11,764
Yeah.
59
00:02:11,764 --> 00:02:12,564
I definitely like
60
00:02:12,564 --> 00:02:13,925
Drake or what do you mean?
61
00:02:13,925 --> 00:02:14,085
Yeah.
62
00:02:14,085 --> 00:02:14,745
You know?
63
00:02:15,444 --> 00:02:16,185
Pete Denny.
64
00:02:16,724 --> 00:02:17,044
Yeah.
65
00:02:17,044 --> 00:02:18,405
What's going on with all that?
66
00:02:18,405 --> 00:02:18,885
Let's, let's,
67
00:02:19,205 --> 00:02:20,905
Should we stay away from that topic?
68
00:02:20,965 --> 00:02:21,365
No, dude.
69
00:02:21,365 --> 00:02:23,580
Let's wait till we get lubed up to talk about
that.
70
00:02:23,659 --> 00:02:24,400
Love that.
71
00:02:24,620 --> 00:02:26,800
I mean, it's something we gotta talk about,
right?
72
00:02:27,020 --> 00:02:29,199
It's affecting the golf world massively.
73
00:02:33,099 --> 00:02:35,040
Now a quick word from our sponsor.
74
00:02:36,219 --> 00:02:38,264
Swannies is here with a fresh take.
75
00:02:39,465 --> 00:02:44,025
materials are a given these days, but if you're
looking for the stretchiest and most
76
00:02:44,025 --> 00:02:49,865
lightweight pieces that deliver a look that
says, I'm here for a good time, take a walk on
77
00:02:49,865 --> 00:02:51,164
the Swannies side.
78
00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:56,730
With fabric sourced from recycled plastics and
designs sourced from our very own weekend
79
00:02:56,730 --> 00:03:01,930
warriors, Swannies is looking out for both our
planet and those that need a little style to
80
00:03:01,930 --> 00:03:04,830
boost their drive another 15 yards.
81
00:03:05,129 --> 00:03:08,305
Premium looks from top to bottom at
swannies.co.
82
00:03:11,805 --> 00:03:13,245
Man, is it?
83
00:03:13,245 --> 00:03:13,745
No.
84
00:03:14,044 --> 00:03:14,784
Not really.
85
00:03:14,844 --> 00:03:19,504
Not really, but we'll get into it as we get to
the end of the episode probably.
86
00:03:20,099 --> 00:03:27,159
But let's start out and, by the way, folks,
your boy just became a Vice Golf ambassador.
87
00:03:27,780 --> 00:03:36,365
So, folks, I will drop the promo link in the
show description this week so you can get a
88
00:03:36,365 --> 00:03:40,444
percentage off on all of your Vice Golf stuff
as well.
89
00:03:40,444 --> 00:03:42,544
So I play the Vice Pro Plus.
90
00:03:42,604 --> 00:03:44,305
Absolutely love that golf ball.
91
00:03:44,925 --> 00:03:45,564
Very good.
92
00:03:45,564 --> 00:03:47,245
That's all the promos that we got for now.
93
00:03:47,245 --> 00:03:47,884
I liked it.
94
00:03:47,884 --> 00:03:48,604
It was good.
95
00:03:48,604 --> 00:03:49,085
Not bad.
96
00:03:49,085 --> 00:03:49,585
Right?
97
00:03:49,724 --> 00:03:53,120
Now let's get into the best from pro golf last
week.
98
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,459
We've got the BMW PGA Championship that took
place over at Wentworth.
99
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:04,185
And my question to you, Buttsy, as we were
talking about this before we came on air, does
100
00:04:04,185 --> 00:04:06,925
Rory McIlroy have the worst luck ever?
101
00:04:11,705 --> 00:04:11,944
Yeah.
102
00:04:11,944 --> 00:04:12,264
Yeah.
103
00:04:12,264 --> 00:04:13,245
I think he does.
104
00:04:14,504 --> 00:04:20,500
It's ridiculous because it's not like he lost
this golf tournament.
105
00:04:21,439 --> 00:04:24,819
He got beat and it was a bad beat too.
106
00:04:24,879 --> 00:04:25,360
Yeah.
107
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,759
When Billy Horschel drops an eagle on you
108
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,600
I just watched it again on the way over.
109
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,875
Well, I wasn't driving and watching it.
110
00:04:31,954 --> 00:04:32,754
I listened to
111
00:04:32,754 --> 00:04:32,914
it on
112
00:04:32,914 --> 00:04:33,634
the way over.
113
00:04:33,634 --> 00:04:34,035
Yeah.
114
00:04:34,035 --> 00:04:35,714
And, yeah.
115
00:04:35,714 --> 00:04:36,855
It's pretty gnarly.
116
00:04:37,074 --> 00:04:39,154
Anybody else besides Horschel too.
117
00:04:39,154 --> 00:04:39,975
My god.
118
00:04:40,194 --> 00:04:40,935
Oh, man.
119
00:04:41,074 --> 00:04:42,035
Slammed it.
120
00:04:42,035 --> 00:04:43,095
Slammed it home.
121
00:04:43,154 --> 00:04:44,115
He played good though.
122
00:04:44,115 --> 00:04:44,355
Yeah.
123
00:04:44,355 --> 00:04:44,754
He did.
124
00:04:44,754 --> 00:04:50,529
He didn't, like, fall off coming down the
stretch, he didn't miss a 3-footer or anything
125
00:04:50,529 --> 00:04:51,009
like that.
126
00:04:51,009 --> 00:04:56,290
So might be seeing, you know, might be climbing
out of the the slump.
127
00:04:56,290 --> 00:05:00,525
I'm gonna tell you right now, when he made the
switch back to his caddie, Micah Fugate, he
128
00:05:00,525 --> 00:05:04,064
absolutely turned into a different player and
he's gonna—Micah Fugate.
129
00:05:04,365 --> 00:05:04,865
Yeah.
130
00:05:05,004 --> 00:05:06,145
You gotta go Fugate.
131
00:05:06,285 --> 00:05:07,404
Is that his last name?
132
00:05:07,404 --> 00:05:07,645
Yeah.
133
00:05:08,764 --> 00:05:09,264
Alright.
134
00:05:10,125 --> 00:05:10,944
Micah Fugate?
135
00:05:11,004 --> 00:05:11,504
Fugate.
136
00:05:11,564 --> 00:05:12,064
Alright.
137
00:05:12,205 --> 00:05:12,444
Yeah.
138
00:05:12,444 --> 00:05:13,425
Good old Micah.
139
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,379
Micah loves a good martini.
140
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:16,160
Does he?
141
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,319
Loves the olives in there.
142
00:05:18,319 --> 00:05:25,519
When he was on the pod because he's a past
guest, he had the good old vodka martinis with
143
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:26,875
some olives in there.
144
00:05:26,875 --> 00:05:27,435
I don't know.
145
00:05:27,435 --> 00:05:30,235
I should have asked him at the time, does he
love blue cheese olives?
146
00:05:30,235 --> 00:05:32,314
Because I like a martini with blue cheese
147
00:05:32,555 --> 00:05:34,735
I love a blue cheese olive.
148
00:05:34,954 --> 00:05:37,294
I like a Diet Coke with a blue cheese olive.
149
00:05:38,074 --> 00:05:39,629
I don't care what the fuck it's in.
150
00:05:40,430 --> 00:05:41,970
I love blue cheese olives.
151
00:05:42,270 --> 00:05:45,709
Anyways, I haven't had a blue cheese olive in a
long time.
152
00:05:45,709 --> 00:05:48,830
Now you're gonna go immediately after the
podcast, probably get yourself.
153
00:05:48,990 --> 00:05:52,589
Can you imagine the atomic weapon that will
form after that?
154
00:05:52,589 --> 00:05:57,464
Mix that with a little gas station buffalo
chicken bite.
155
00:05:57,525 --> 00:05:58,165
You hate to see it.
156
00:05:58,165 --> 00:05:59,464
Some blue cheese olives.
157
00:05:59,525 --> 00:06:00,985
You hate to see it.
158
00:06:01,045 --> 00:06:01,764
Fire and cold.
159
00:06:01,764 --> 00:06:02,425
Oh, man.
160
00:06:02,805 --> 00:06:03,305
Yep.
161
00:06:03,685 --> 00:06:04,185
Wow.
162
00:06:04,404 --> 00:06:06,025
So Billy Horschel.
163
00:06:06,324 --> 00:06:11,569
I mean, and here's the crazy thing too about
Billy Horschel is that Rory McIlroy hit a gem
164
00:06:11,709 --> 00:06:14,750
in the second playoff hole for a second shot on
the par 5.
165
00:06:14,750 --> 00:06:15,069
Oh, no.
166
00:06:15,069 --> 00:06:15,310
Yeah.
167
00:06:15,310 --> 00:06:16,189
Hit a great shot.
168
00:06:16,189 --> 00:06:16,509
Mhmm.
169
00:06:16,509 --> 00:06:17,889
Billy Horschel answered.
170
00:06:18,269 --> 00:06:21,310
Like, a lot of people would have folded right
there.
171
00:06:21,310 --> 00:06:26,694
And then Rory misses his spot, not by a lot,
and then Billy Horschel drops that 30-plus
172
00:06:26,694 --> 00:06:27,194
footer.
173
00:06:27,574 --> 00:06:31,895
And it's just like Rory's just sitting there
going, the fuck do I have to do, man?
174
00:06:31,895 --> 00:06:32,134
Would you
175
00:06:32,134 --> 00:06:38,386
have taken 20 to 1 odds on a 100 that Billy's
gonna make that putt before I
176
00:06:38,386 --> 00:06:39,269
get it weird.
177
00:06:39,649 --> 00:06:40,930
I was watching it live.
178
00:06:40,930 --> 00:06:42,610
Are you gonna tell me you were feeling it?
179
00:06:42,610 --> 00:06:44,709
I was kinda like, he's gonna make this.
180
00:06:44,850 --> 00:06:49,729
Like, you kinda stepped in and you just kinda
had that hunch that Billy Horschel is probably
181
00:06:49,729 --> 00:06:50,949
gonna make that putt.
182
00:06:51,569 --> 00:06:57,105
I was floored that he did, but at the same
time, it's just like, damn, Billy.
183
00:06:57,324 --> 00:07:00,444
He just doesn't, he doesn't resonate with me as
being like a
184
00:07:00,685 --> 00:07:01,564
A clutch player?
185
00:07:01,564 --> 00:07:02,064
Exactly.
186
00:07:02,685 --> 00:07:02,925
Wow.
187
00:07:02,925 --> 00:07:05,004
We're finishing each other's sentences right
now.
188
00:07:05,004 --> 00:07:07,849
I feel like, yeah, Tom Cruise or something.
189
00:07:07,849 --> 00:07:08,329
It's wild.
190
00:07:08,329 --> 00:07:14,909
But Rory McIlroy made an eagle on 17 in order
to get into the playoff.
191
00:07:15,209 --> 00:07:20,269
He kinda botched the par 5 a little bit, 18th
in regulation.
192
00:07:21,115 --> 00:07:26,555
You can't even go back and watch a highlight of
it because he ended up hitting his second shot
193
00:07:26,555 --> 00:07:32,910
short in the rough, ends up pitching up, and
had about a 16—well, it was 16.8 feet.
194
00:07:33,069 --> 00:07:33,389
K.
195
00:07:33,389 --> 00:07:39,009
And ends up missing that one, tapping in for
the par in order to go into the playoff.
196
00:07:39,709 --> 00:07:43,009
Billy Horschel birdied the last two holes in
order to get into the playoff.
197
00:07:43,149 --> 00:07:43,649
Yeah.
198
00:07:43,709 --> 00:07:50,904
And then you've got my guy Aaron Rai who was my
pick last week and he went off on the front 9.
199
00:07:51,365 --> 00:07:57,144
Absolutely off on the front 9, shot 5-under 30
and ends up taking the lead.
200
00:07:57,925 --> 00:08:06,649
But Aaron Rai still is learning how to perform
under pressure and how to win golf tournaments.
201
00:08:06,649 --> 00:08:10,810
I think when Aaron Rai figures this out, we're
gonna see him winning quite a few tournaments.
202
00:08:10,810 --> 00:08:13,069
I don't disagree with that at all.
203
00:08:13,529 --> 00:08:17,354
His ball striking and those all those guys are,
but it's fucking elite.
204
00:08:17,354 --> 00:08:17,754
Yeah.
205
00:08:17,754 --> 00:08:19,754
He put on an absolute display.
206
00:08:19,754 --> 00:08:21,454
Like I said, I it's yeah.
207
00:08:22,235 --> 00:08:28,735
And then kudos to Aaron Rai because he was
right there, ends up T4 at minus 17.
208
00:08:31,300 --> 00:08:32,820
I think he was at minus 17.
209
00:08:32,820 --> 00:08:34,500
I can't remember off the top of my head.
210
00:08:34,500 --> 00:08:40,360
I know he finished T4, but he was right there
and he went for it on 18.
211
00:08:40,500 --> 00:08:41,700
He went for it into
212
00:08:42,019 --> 00:08:43,424
Where did he hit his second one?
213
00:08:43,504 --> 00:08:45,365
His in the water.
214
00:08:45,825 --> 00:08:46,804
So there you go.
215
00:08:47,024 --> 00:08:51,184
And that ended his day right there for trying
to win the golf tournament, but at least he
216
00:08:51,184 --> 00:08:51,664
gave it a go.
217
00:08:51,664 --> 00:08:52,464
Could have been different.
218
00:08:52,464 --> 00:08:53,904
But he didn't try to lay up.
219
00:08:53,904 --> 00:08:54,384
No.
220
00:08:54,384 --> 00:08:55,440
He didn't bitch out.
221
00:08:56,879 --> 00:08:57,940
That he did not.
222
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:06,320
And then, the one guy that we are not talking
about is, and I completely just forgot his
223
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:06,820
name.
224
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,139
It's the guy who was in the Open Championship.
225
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:10,980
He was in the playoff.
226
00:09:11,495 --> 00:09:12,315
Not Lawrence.
227
00:09:12,855 --> 00:09:15,514
I think it's Lawrence Thurston, is it?
228
00:09:15,735 --> 00:09:17,514
Help us out here, tour golfer.
229
00:09:17,894 --> 00:09:18,714
Is it Lawrence?
230
00:09:19,014 --> 00:09:20,154
It's Lawrence something.
231
00:09:20,534 --> 00:09:23,214
He was in, what did he, he was in the bunker,
right?
232
00:09:23,214 --> 00:09:23,654
Right?
233
00:09:23,654 --> 00:09:24,475
In there.
234
00:09:25,174 --> 00:09:26,955
Oh, it's Thriston Lawrence.
235
00:09:27,299 --> 00:09:28,039
Is that it?
236
00:09:28,100 --> 00:09:28,740
That's not it.
237
00:09:28,740 --> 00:09:29,460
That's not it?
238
00:09:29,460 --> 00:09:30,419
It could be, but
239
00:09:30,419 --> 00:09:31,299
I think it is.
240
00:09:31,299 --> 00:09:32,340
Some of these guys' names.
241
00:09:32,340 --> 00:09:36,259
I think it's Thriston because it's T-H-R-I-S.
242
00:09:36,259 --> 00:09:36,980
Little help.
243
00:09:36,980 --> 00:09:37,220
Yeah.
244
00:09:37,220 --> 00:09:38,540
A little help would go along with it.
245
00:09:38,740 --> 00:09:39,799
Help from the audience.
246
00:09:40,340 --> 00:09:41,240
Back it up.
247
00:09:41,585 --> 00:09:43,605
Oh, tour golfer said that's it.
248
00:09:43,665 --> 00:09:44,304
That's it.
249
00:09:44,304 --> 00:09:45,285
Thriston Lawrence.
250
00:09:45,745 --> 00:09:46,245
Alright.
251
00:09:46,304 --> 00:09:47,264
So there we go.
252
00:09:47,264 --> 00:09:52,004
Now he is underrated, and I've seen him play
over on the DP World Tour.
253
00:09:52,065 --> 00:09:57,053
When I have flicked through the channels, I've
seen him win golf tournaments, and he went to
254
00:09:57,053 --> 00:09:58,059
the Open Championship.
255
00:09:58,279 --> 00:09:59,740
He did not go away.
256
00:10:00,039 --> 00:10:04,120
He didn't really go away in this one either,
but in the first playoff hole, when you're up
257
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:08,925
against Billy Horschel and Rory McIlroy, things
did not go well for him.
258
00:10:08,925 --> 00:10:09,685
So cool.
259
00:10:09,945 --> 00:10:10,764
There you have it.
260
00:10:10,764 --> 00:10:12,764
He struggled, if you can't tell.
261
00:10:12,764 --> 00:10:13,264
Bye.
262
00:10:13,965 --> 00:10:15,325
As a lot of people would.
263
00:10:15,325 --> 00:10:15,725
Yeah.
264
00:10:15,725 --> 00:10:15,884
Yeah.
265
00:10:15,884 --> 00:10:17,165
I don't hate the guy.
266
00:10:17,165 --> 00:10:21,720
But I wanted to make sure we said his name out
there, get that out there because the South
267
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,079
African is pretty dang good.
268
00:10:23,079 --> 00:10:23,959
He deserves the cred.
269
00:10:23,959 --> 00:10:24,199
Yeah.
270
00:10:24,199 --> 00:10:24,919
He really does.
271
00:10:24,919 --> 00:10:25,320
So.
272
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:25,820
So.
273
00:10:25,959 --> 00:10:26,459
Alright.
274
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:32,120
Moving into our next topic, which is LIV Golf,
the team championship that took place in
275
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:32,620
Dallas.
276
00:10:33,079 --> 00:10:39,044
And here's the thing, last week, we didn't even
cover this really because I didn't realize that
277
00:10:39,044 --> 00:10:40,585
it was happening a week later.
278
00:10:40,644 --> 00:10:41,544
I didn't either.
279
00:10:42,085 --> 00:10:42,404
Yeah.
280
00:10:42,404 --> 00:10:45,684
And I looked at the show notes and I was like,
Yeah.
281
00:10:45,684 --> 00:10:46,644
But after the fact.
282
00:10:46,644 --> 00:10:52,860
The the schedule has thrown me off this year
more so than in the prior two seasons, but I
283
00:10:52,860 --> 00:10:54,959
ended up catching the entire thing.
284
00:10:55,339 --> 00:11:01,600
And I was because I love the team match play
aspect, so I was really interested in Friday,
285
00:11:01,740 --> 00:11:02,240
Saturday.
286
00:11:02,605 --> 00:11:04,945
But for the final, they switched to stroke
play.
287
00:11:05,164 --> 00:11:06,125
Now with that
288
00:11:06,365 --> 00:11:07,985
What what's your thought on that?
289
00:11:08,605 --> 00:11:09,245
I hate it.
290
00:11:09,245 --> 00:11:09,644
Yeah?
291
00:11:09,644 --> 00:11:10,125
I hate it.
292
00:11:10,125 --> 00:11:23,909
And the one thing that I will say because I was
trashing it on Twitter and so forth, it it was
293
00:11:23,909 --> 00:11:30,549
better than I expected just because everybody
was really close in terms of their teams and
294
00:11:30,549 --> 00:11:32,490
coming down the final stretch.
295
00:11:32,784 --> 00:11:33,024
There
296
00:11:33,024 --> 00:11:36,304
was actually a tiny bit of drama around it.
297
00:11:36,304 --> 00:11:40,884
Like, you didn't know who could possibly win
because everybody was right there.
298
00:11:40,945 --> 00:11:42,325
So that was kinda cool.
299
00:11:42,784 --> 00:11:48,899
But if it was match play and, you know, you got
DJ going up against Cam Smith and a final or
300
00:11:48,899 --> 00:11:51,799
something along those lines, it would have been
absolutely sweet.
301
00:11:52,339 --> 00:11:57,480
The one thing and I'm I'm gonna jump around
here for just a second because I completely
302
00:11:57,539 --> 00:12:00,644
forgot to start this entire segment off with
the fact that
303
00:12:01,044 --> 00:12:01,684
j Rahm.
304
00:12:01,764 --> 00:12:02,565
Jon Rahm.
305
00:12:02,565 --> 00:12:03,284
I was just gonna
306
00:12:03,524 --> 00:12:05,284
Miss the entire weekend with flu
307
00:12:05,284 --> 00:12:05,845
like symptoms.
308
00:12:05,845 --> 00:12:07,524
I was like, are you getting to this later?
309
00:12:07,524 --> 00:12:07,764
Yeah.
310
00:12:07,764 --> 00:12:07,924
No.
311
00:12:07,924 --> 00:12:08,804
We need to get into it.
312
00:12:08,804 --> 00:12:09,044
The guy
313
00:12:09,044 --> 00:12:11,845
that won that fucking Super Bowl ring didn't he
didn't even play.
314
00:12:11,845 --> 00:12:13,845
Didn't even play, had flu-like symptoms.
315
00:12:13,845 --> 00:12:18,110
And my question to you, if this was the Ryder
Cup, does Jon Rahm sit out?
316
00:12:18,649 --> 00:12:21,289
That's I don't know.
317
00:12:21,289 --> 00:12:22,490
And I like Jon Rahm.
318
00:12:22,490 --> 00:12:25,870
I don't know what said flu-like symptoms really
means.
319
00:12:26,250 --> 00:12:28,750
I don't know if there was a personal thing
going on.
320
00:12:28,784 --> 00:12:31,904
I don't know if he was getting that weird toe
chopped off.
321
00:12:31,904 --> 00:12:33,845
Like, it's tough to say.
322
00:12:33,904 --> 00:12:34,644
You know?
323
00:12:34,704 --> 00:12:36,784
If the toe was giving him hell, who knows?
324
00:12:36,784 --> 00:12:38,245
Maybe he really couldn't play.
325
00:12:38,544 --> 00:12:41,264
But, if it was something minimal, yeah.
326
00:12:41,264 --> 00:12:41,764
Maybe.
327
00:12:42,304 --> 00:12:42,544
Yeah.
328
00:12:42,544 --> 00:12:44,159
He doesn't miss the Ryder Cup probably.
329
00:12:44,159 --> 00:12:44,659
No.
330
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:46,720
There's no chance in hell.
331
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:47,200
He's already He's
332
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:47,919
missing the Ryder Cup.
333
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,120
Got the ring.
334
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,080
Like, this is bullshit.
335
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:50,480
Yeah.
336
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,320
That that was what was running through my head
is he's like, oh, you know, I'm not feeling
337
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:54,820
well.
338
00:12:55,279 --> 00:12:57,315
I'm just gonna call it a day on this one.
339
00:12:57,794 --> 00:12:59,154
I already did my part.
340
00:12:59,154 --> 00:12:59,475
Yeah.
341
00:12:59,475 --> 00:12:59,875
Yeah.
342
00:12:59,875 --> 00:13:00,375
Yeah.
343
00:13:00,595 --> 00:13:01,955
He already had his year.
344
00:13:01,955 --> 00:13:06,835
John Catlin fills in for him and did a pretty
damn good job as they made it to the final, and
345
00:13:06,835 --> 00:13:12,709
they were leading initial, like, early on in
that final championship stroke play round.
346
00:13:12,769 --> 00:13:12,929
Yeah.
347
00:13:12,929 --> 00:13:18,450
But I just I can't stand the stroke play side
to it with the teams, especially for a team
348
00:13:18,450 --> 00:13:18,950
championship.
349
00:13:19,409 --> 00:13:19,970
I get it.
350
00:13:19,970 --> 00:13:21,730
You wanna see all four players play.
351
00:13:21,730 --> 00:13:22,690
Well, guess what?
352
00:13:22,690 --> 00:13:26,415
Have all four players play individual match
play against the other.
353
00:13:26,415 --> 00:13:27,154
For sure.
354
00:13:27,375 --> 00:13:35,375
The first two days, I love how they have the
match play set up and it adds in a little bit
355
00:13:35,375 --> 00:13:39,730
of strategy to where the third group is two
players on each side.
356
00:13:39,790 --> 00:13:40,269
K.
357
00:13:40,269 --> 00:13:42,290
And they're playing alternate shot.
358
00:13:43,550 --> 00:13:46,450
Which means you are not big alternate shot
guys.
359
00:13:46,509 --> 00:13:48,450
I hate alternate shot.
360
00:13:48,830 --> 00:13:49,730
I hate it.
361
00:13:50,014 --> 00:13:50,975
I hate it too.
362
00:13:50,975 --> 00:13:51,774
I hate alter.
363
00:13:51,774 --> 00:13:53,534
I hate being a part of it and I don't.
364
00:13:53,615 --> 00:13:54,174
Yeah, I
365
00:13:54,335 --> 00:13:55,855
don't like being a part of it.
366
00:13:55,855 --> 00:13:56,014
No.
367
00:13:56,014 --> 00:13:56,835
It's terrible.
368
00:13:56,894 --> 00:14:00,815
But it was interesting because this year, it
wasn't like, oh, putting the best player
369
00:14:00,815 --> 00:14:01,855
against the best player.
370
00:14:01,855 --> 00:14:03,554
Like, there was some strategy involved.
371
00:14:03,855 --> 00:14:11,820
Cam Smith ended up playing in the alternate
shot with, I forget who, Matt Jones.
372
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:13,500
Okay.
373
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,019
So you got that going for it.
374
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:23,075
Now as I keep tapping that on accident and
bringing up Trot Golfer's comment.
375
00:14:23,075 --> 00:14:23,894
That's it.
376
00:14:24,035 --> 00:14:24,514
That's it.
377
00:14:24,514 --> 00:14:24,754
Yeah.
378
00:14:24,754 --> 00:14:26,054
I was like, was that significant?
379
00:14:26,675 --> 00:14:27,175
Okay.
380
00:14:27,394 --> 00:14:27,894
No.
381
00:14:28,355 --> 00:14:32,695
So my whole thing is I would love to see a
change to the format.
382
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:38,740
Now you sent me a link that the players were
talking about this as well.
383
00:14:38,799 --> 00:14:39,120
Yeah.
384
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,720
Phil kinda, you know, came out and moonlighted
a little bit.
385
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:43,039
Right?
386
00:14:43,039 --> 00:14:47,279
He kinda and like that, I think that article
spoke to this.
387
00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:47,600
Right?
388
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:55,214
Phil doesn't speak publicly without intention,
and he definitely dropped some bread crumbs, I
389
00:14:55,214 --> 00:14:55,615
think.
390
00:14:55,855 --> 00:14:56,054
Yeah.
391
00:14:56,254 --> 00:14:59,475
In regards to what's in store for LIV going
forward.
392
00:14:59,615 --> 00:15:00,355
The future.
393
00:15:00,414 --> 00:15:01,075
The future.
394
00:15:01,214 --> 00:15:04,149
The future of LIV is match play.
395
00:15:04,149 --> 00:15:04,470
Yeah.
396
00:15:04,470 --> 00:15:09,269
And what's hilarious is that the LIV lovers on
Twitter were going nuts.
397
00:15:09,269 --> 00:15:10,870
They're like, absolutely not.
398
00:15:10,870 --> 00:15:13,269
The individuals are still gonna be playing
stroke play.
399
00:15:13,269 --> 00:15:15,029
There's no way they're gonna allow this.
400
00:15:15,029 --> 00:15:16,310
And it's like, listen, guys.
401
00:15:16,310 --> 00:15:17,930
It's not gonna be every event.
402
00:15:18,415 --> 00:15:18,735
No.
403
00:15:18,735 --> 00:15:21,535
But there's gonna be more team match play.
404
00:15:21,535 --> 00:15:21,855
Yeah.
405
00:15:21,855 --> 00:15:24,575
We talked about this one of the first pods we
did together.
406
00:15:24,575 --> 00:15:28,415
We were covering LIV and when you grow up,
like, in your, you know, you're part of the
407
00:15:28,415 --> 00:15:30,495
team environment, we'll just kinda reiterate
that.
408
00:15:30,495 --> 00:15:33,460
But I'd rather watch match play out there.
409
00:15:33,460 --> 00:15:33,960
100%.
410
00:15:34,059 --> 00:15:34,899
I mean
411
00:15:34,980 --> 00:15:40,019
The amount of players in the field and, like,
building that camaraderie up and building up
412
00:15:40,019 --> 00:15:42,440
who's on a team and, like, what their stats
are.
413
00:15:42,500 --> 00:15:42,820
Yeah.
414
00:15:42,820 --> 00:15:44,500
Kinda trying to figure out, like, alright.
415
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:48,524
Well, you got it going on but then, this guy's
moving up the leaderboard individually, but
416
00:15:48,524 --> 00:15:50,845
there's really only 20 guys playing so who
gives a fuck?
417
00:15:50,845 --> 00:15:52,205
Like, I don't know.
418
00:15:52,205 --> 00:15:52,524
Spot on.
419
00:15:52,524 --> 00:15:53,164
I don't know.
420
00:15:53,164 --> 00:15:53,644
Spot on.
421
00:15:53,644 --> 00:15:54,144
Yeah.
422
00:15:54,605 --> 00:15:59,404
The format change that I'd also like to see
changed is for the team championship, you
423
00:15:59,404 --> 00:16:01,345
shouldn't just automatically get in.
424
00:16:02,429 --> 00:16:03,230
What do you mean?
425
00:16:03,230 --> 00:16:08,350
So there's a regular season, like, there's a
points tally to the entire regular season, but
426
00:16:08,350 --> 00:16:11,490
yet they include every single team into the
team championship.
427
00:16:11,709 --> 00:16:13,089
I don't think that's right.
428
00:16:13,629 --> 00:16:13,995
No.
429
00:16:14,235 --> 00:16:14,475
No.
430
00:16:14,475 --> 00:16:15,835
You it should be elite.
431
00:16:15,835 --> 00:16:17,274
Like, it should be like a World Series.
432
00:16:17,274 --> 00:16:22,654
And we almost had an issue where the Iron Heads
almost won.
433
00:16:22,875 --> 00:16:25,534
They were in last place coming into the team
championship.
434
00:16:25,674 --> 00:16:26,075
Mhmm.
435
00:16:26,075 --> 00:16:30,080
Then you had the 4 Aces who had a bad year and
they were in 10th.
436
00:16:30,139 --> 00:16:36,059
I would love to see it to where it's just the
top 8 teams that are competing in the team
437
00:16:36,059 --> 00:16:37,899
championship and here's why.
438
00:16:37,899 --> 00:16:38,860
Because it's 3 days.
439
00:16:38,860 --> 00:16:39,259
Right?
440
00:16:39,259 --> 00:16:39,580
Yeah.
441
00:16:39,580 --> 00:16:46,705
So you would go from on Friday, you would have
8 teams and they would play match play head to
442
00:16:46,705 --> 00:16:47,205
head.
443
00:16:47,424 --> 00:16:50,404
Then on Saturday, that brings it down to 4
teams.
444
00:16:50,544 --> 00:16:52,485
So you got your semifinals there.
445
00:16:52,705 --> 00:16:57,710
And those 4 teams play and then you got the
final 2 on Sunday.
446
00:16:57,769 --> 00:16:58,269
Bracket.
447
00:16:58,810 --> 00:16:59,129
Yeah.
448
00:16:59,129 --> 00:17:00,730
It's a true bracket.
449
00:17:00,730 --> 00:17:01,450
A real bracket.
450
00:17:01,450 --> 00:17:01,690
Yeah.
451
00:17:01,690 --> 00:17:01,977
A real bracket.
452
00:17:01,977 --> 00:17:02,042
Yeah.
453
00:17:02,042 --> 00:17:02,670
A real bracket.
454
00:17:02,810 --> 00:17:03,210
Yeah.
455
00:17:03,210 --> 00:17:06,650
It's kinda like what I was saying about the
podcast studio with the green screen.
456
00:17:06,650 --> 00:17:08,410
I'm like, I'm done with the green screen.
457
00:17:08,410 --> 00:17:09,230
We're adults.
458
00:17:09,794 --> 00:17:10,595
You did say that.
459
00:17:10,595 --> 00:17:14,534
It's like, we're done with just having
everybody play in a team championship.
460
00:17:14,754 --> 00:17:15,154
Yeah.
461
00:17:15,154 --> 00:17:17,254
The regular season is going to matter.
462
00:17:17,394 --> 00:17:21,494
You have to finish in the top eight, and we're
actually gonna do a real fucking bracket.
463
00:17:22,309 --> 00:17:24,549
What an analogy to relate it to the green
screen.
464
00:17:24,549 --> 00:17:25,929
I like what you did there.
465
00:17:27,029 --> 00:17:29,750
You were the green screen was a thing for you.
466
00:17:29,750 --> 00:17:30,470
It really was.
467
00:17:30,470 --> 00:17:30,789
It got
468
00:17:30,950 --> 00:17:33,269
This thing, this green screen was really
bothering you.
469
00:17:33,269 --> 00:17:35,910
I've been using the green screen for, like, two
and a half years.
470
00:17:35,910 --> 00:17:36,410
Yes.
471
00:17:36,710 --> 00:17:40,825
So when finally we had the studio, I'm, like,
and we're using a green screen.
472
00:17:40,825 --> 00:17:41,945
It was just temporary.
473
00:17:42,184 --> 00:17:42,505
Yeah.
474
00:17:42,585 --> 00:17:47,144
Just because we're, like, okay, what are we
gonna do with building out the backdrop and
475
00:17:47,144 --> 00:17:47,465
everything?
476
00:17:47,465 --> 00:17:48,664
And this is the start.
477
00:17:48,664 --> 00:17:51,225
Green screens are for little Twitch noobs that
play video games.
478
00:17:51,225 --> 00:17:51,965
That's right.
479
00:17:52,049 --> 00:17:52,450
That's right.
480
00:17:52,450 --> 00:17:53,670
Not for elite podcasters.
481
00:17:56,690 --> 00:17:57,350
Just saying.
482
00:17:57,490 --> 00:17:58,309
Oh, gosh.
483
00:17:58,850 --> 00:18:00,130
Hit that like, beep.
484
00:18:00,130 --> 00:18:00,690
Come on.
485
00:18:00,690 --> 00:18:02,789
Hit the motherfucking like.
486
00:18:04,049 --> 00:18:04,549
Yeah.
487
00:18:04,875 --> 00:18:05,835
Thanks, track golfer.
488
00:18:05,835 --> 00:18:06,315
Thanks, dude.
489
00:18:06,315 --> 00:18:06,634
Yeah.
490
00:18:06,634 --> 00:18:08,255
The support is unwavering.
491
00:18:08,474 --> 00:18:09,195
Absolutely love that.
492
00:18:09,195 --> 00:18:10,154
Hit the like, folks.
493
00:18:10,154 --> 00:18:11,535
Subscribe to the podcast.
494
00:18:11,755 --> 00:18:13,134
You're not gonna be disappointed.
495
00:18:13,195 --> 00:18:14,154
I'll tell you that much.
496
00:18:14,154 --> 00:18:14,474
Mhmm.
497
00:18:14,474 --> 00:18:17,454
Because we bring it each and every week.
498
00:18:20,269 --> 00:18:20,910
Oh, gosh.
499
00:18:20,910 --> 00:18:21,410
Alright.
500
00:18:22,190 --> 00:18:24,130
Keeping it moving, keeping it grooving.
501
00:18:24,910 --> 00:18:28,450
We got the Swanny style segment before we've
got our big announcement.
502
00:18:28,830 --> 00:18:33,650
So the Swanny style segment this week, it's all
based off of LIV Golf Team Championship.
503
00:18:33,934 --> 00:18:34,434
Okay.
504
00:18:34,654 --> 00:18:35,954
Pants versus shorts.
505
00:18:36,174 --> 00:18:39,554
Should both be allowed or should they pick a
lane?
506
00:18:43,375 --> 00:18:44,674
Whatever you wanna wear.
507
00:18:44,894 --> 00:18:45,214
Yeah.
508
00:18:45,214 --> 00:18:46,255
Whatever the fuck you want.
509
00:18:46,255 --> 00:18:47,615
See, you're a man of the people.
510
00:18:47,615 --> 00:18:48,255
I love that
511
00:18:48,255 --> 00:18:48,900
about you.
512
00:18:49,140 --> 00:18:54,660
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you can
wear, like, and this is a thing now.
513
00:18:54,660 --> 00:18:58,740
You can go to a restaurant, a really high-end
restaurant with a T-shirt on.
514
00:18:58,740 --> 00:19:00,259
It's official that that's okay now.
515
00:19:00,259 --> 00:19:01,080
In Arizona.
516
00:19:01,940 --> 00:19:02,440
No.
517
00:19:02,820 --> 00:19:04,845
I don't know if you could do that in New York
City.
518
00:19:04,845 --> 00:19:06,285
Maybe because it's too cold.
519
00:19:06,285 --> 00:19:06,605
You know?
520
00:19:06,605 --> 00:19:07,484
I don't know.
521
00:19:07,484 --> 00:19:07,804
I think we're
522
00:19:07,884 --> 00:19:09,005
It's never too cold for you.
523
00:19:09,005 --> 00:19:10,125
You got Nordic blood.
524
00:19:10,125 --> 00:19:16,625
I got Nordic blood and the skin's like 18
inches thick at any point on the body.
525
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:17,500
Okay.
526
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:18,240
No.
527
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:18,600
Yeah.
528
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:19,000
No.
529
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:19,480
Literally.
530
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,480
I would survive the Titanic going down.
531
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:22,380
He really would.
532
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:23,480
Probably the only one.
533
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:24,119
No doubt.
534
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:24,920
Yeah.
535
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,380
People would have been on my back.
536
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:32,555
I would have taken a breath, come back up, you
know, from my blowhole.
537
00:19:32,695 --> 00:19:34,455
Anyways, we're getting way off track here.
538
00:19:34,455 --> 00:19:36,615
I I just I'm literally picturing it wild.
539
00:19:36,615 --> 00:19:41,255
I'm fine with shorts or pants, you know.
540
00:19:41,255 --> 00:19:45,240
Do you think it's weird looking at it though
and seeing some players with shorts, some
541
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,299
players with pants?
542
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:48,039
Yeah.
543
00:19:48,039 --> 00:19:53,480
I mean, it mentally, it kinda changes the
prestige, the look of the prestige of what
544
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:54,359
they're trying to do.
545
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,200
Like, it's a whole vibe.
546
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:56,440
Right?
547
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:56,840
That's where
548
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,140
I would be like, I kinda like the idea of just
going all shorts.
549
00:20:00,224 --> 00:20:01,984
I just have everybody playing shorts.
550
00:20:01,984 --> 00:20:02,944
I'm gonna tell you this.
551
00:20:02,944 --> 00:20:08,944
I think some of the dudes that still rock pants
just have like, it was always a way for them to
552
00:20:08,944 --> 00:20:14,329
hide the fact that they have weird-looking
tiny-ass legs, and they still wear it because
553
00:20:14,329 --> 00:20:14,809
of that.
554
00:20:14,809 --> 00:20:15,049
Not
555
00:20:15,049 --> 00:20:16,250
That's a really good point.
556
00:20:16,329 --> 00:20:17,529
I guarantee it.
557
00:20:17,529 --> 00:20:18,890
I guarantee that's why.
558
00:20:18,890 --> 00:20:20,009
They got little chicken legs.
559
00:20:20,009 --> 00:20:22,009
They never they miss leg day.
560
00:20:22,009 --> 00:20:22,809
Oh my God.
561
00:20:22,809 --> 00:20:24,730
You see these guys at the gym too, right?
562
00:20:24,730 --> 00:20:27,549
They always have the trainer pants on.
563
00:20:28,784 --> 00:20:29,284
Yeah.
564
00:20:29,424 --> 00:20:30,144
You know what though?
565
00:20:30,144 --> 00:20:34,384
Phil Mickelson, as soon as he was allowed to
wear shorts, immediately was a shorts guy.
566
00:20:34,384 --> 00:20:35,744
Of course, he's gonna show off those.
567
00:20:35,825 --> 00:20:36,065
He's
568
00:20:36,065 --> 00:20:37,684
got calves of steel.
569
00:20:37,825 --> 00:20:38,144
Yeah.
570
00:20:38,144 --> 00:20:38,464
Yeah.
571
00:20:38,464 --> 00:20:40,849
Looks like he's got a couple of chimp brains
572
00:20:40,990 --> 00:20:41,349
hanging off
573
00:20:41,349 --> 00:20:42,109
of his legs.
574
00:20:42,109 --> 00:20:45,809
Talking about Phil Mickelson, this wasn't even
in the notes, but did you see his new haircut?
575
00:20:46,029 --> 00:20:46,269
No.
576
00:20:46,269 --> 00:20:47,630
Since we're on the style segment?
577
00:20:47,630 --> 00:20:48,670
He still has hair?
578
00:20:48,670 --> 00:20:49,150
Oh, dude.
579
00:20:49,150 --> 00:20:50,450
This one's bad.
580
00:20:50,750 --> 00:20:51,730
This one's bad.
581
00:20:51,789 --> 00:20:52,349
What is it?
582
00:20:52,349 --> 00:20:56,644
He's got it, like, he tried to go, like,
trendy, yeah, and, like, shave the sides, keep
583
00:20:56,644 --> 00:20:56,980
it long.
584
00:20:57,076 --> 00:20:57,173
Oh,
585
00:20:57,173 --> 00:20:57,365
I see.
586
00:20:57,444 --> 00:21:05,284
And it just looks like he took off his hat and
they got a shot of him and it looks like he is
587
00:21:05,284 --> 00:21:11,480
missing hair from, like, up here in this
section and then bangs after the missed hair in
588
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,159
the middle and then it's just yeah.
589
00:21:13,159 --> 00:21:13,960
It's a rough look.
590
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,599
Folks, look it up if you have not seen this
yet.
591
00:21:16,599 --> 00:21:21,819
It maybe I need to see this because I was gonna
say I gotta give Phil the credit that he's due.
592
00:21:22,075 --> 00:21:27,215
He has managed to be kinda still cool looking
as he's gotten older.
593
00:21:27,674 --> 00:21:31,195
I think he's over the aviators though now, and
he's rocking like the full Stinson's.
594
00:21:31,195 --> 00:21:34,494
He's like 10 years behind on trying to look
like a dirt biker out there.
595
00:21:34,715 --> 00:21:36,419
But, yeah.
596
00:21:36,419 --> 00:21:36,919
Whatever.
597
00:21:36,980 --> 00:21:37,799
Yeah, man.
598
00:21:37,940 --> 00:21:38,440
K.
599
00:21:38,500 --> 00:21:40,179
So that solves that.
600
00:21:40,179 --> 00:21:44,740
Now with the shorts, it does bring in another
element as well, moving away from Phil
601
00:21:44,740 --> 00:21:45,700
Mickelson, of course.
602
00:21:45,700 --> 00:21:47,319
Please move away from him.
603
00:21:47,460 --> 00:21:53,214
What socks are cool versus not so cool is the
little piece here that I want you to go over.
604
00:21:53,214 --> 00:21:54,595
So no-show socks.
605
00:21:55,295 --> 00:21:57,394
I'm a no-show guy, personally.
606
00:21:57,615 --> 00:21:58,095
Same.
607
00:21:58,095 --> 00:22:00,015
I grew up in that era.
608
00:22:00,015 --> 00:22:06,579
I think golf shoes, especially when you're
wearing shorts, and you're into any type of a
609
00:22:06,579 --> 00:22:07,380
saddle shoe.
610
00:22:07,380 --> 00:22:08,019
Oh, yeah.
611
00:22:08,019 --> 00:22:08,519
Right?
612
00:22:08,740 --> 00:22:14,440
They look so stupid to me when you look like a
seventies basketball player out there.
613
00:22:15,220 --> 00:22:19,934
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar out here with the calf
socks.
614
00:22:20,154 --> 00:22:21,375
Again, I don't know.
615
00:22:21,835 --> 00:22:24,954
It goes it's kinda what your legs look like and
how you're built.
616
00:22:24,954 --> 00:22:27,434
Tall guys, I think, can pull off the calf
socks.
617
00:22:27,434 --> 00:22:27,755
Yeah.
618
00:22:27,755 --> 00:22:30,494
I completely agree with you.
619
00:22:30,714 --> 00:22:32,220
Black or white socks?
620
00:22:33,419 --> 00:22:33,919
Black.
621
00:22:34,220 --> 00:22:34,460
Yeah.
622
00:22:34,460 --> 00:22:34,940
Same.
623
00:22:34,940 --> 00:22:35,900
Gotta go black.
624
00:22:35,900 --> 00:22:37,579
I grew up with the Fab Five, man.
625
00:22:37,579 --> 00:22:38,079
Yeah.
626
00:22:38,140 --> 00:22:42,640
Like, you've got Michigan, black socks.
627
00:22:43,339 --> 00:22:45,359
You've got the baggy shorts.
628
00:22:45,500 --> 00:22:56,424
I mean, that team of Chris Webber, Jimmy King,
Jalen Rose, and Juwan Howard.
629
00:22:56,565 --> 00:22:58,325
That was the Fab Five at Michigan.
630
00:22:58,325 --> 00:22:59,144
All the freshmen.
631
00:22:59,284 --> 00:23:00,085
Black socks.
632
00:23:00,085 --> 00:23:00,404
Yeah.
633
00:23:00,404 --> 00:23:02,640
They changed the game, man.
634
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:03,920
They've changed the game.
635
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,599
So I'm a black socks guy.
636
00:23:05,599 --> 00:23:08,980
Now with the calf socks, you said looks good on
certain people.
637
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,660
So would you say some calf socks are cool, some
are not cool?
638
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,355
It's appropriate for the right build and the
right look.
639
00:23:18,355 --> 00:23:26,674
Guys that wear a floppy build, short build rope
hat that have that kinda, I don't know how to
640
00:23:26,674 --> 00:23:31,029
call it, like, punk look on the golf course,
calf socks are okay.
641
00:23:31,170 --> 00:23:34,210
And I think you need to be over 6 foot 1 to
rock them too.
642
00:23:34,210 --> 00:23:36,549
Short dudes look really weird in them.
643
00:23:37,170 --> 00:23:37,670
Interesting.
644
00:23:37,730 --> 00:23:38,210
I think.
645
00:23:38,210 --> 00:23:38,609
Yeah.
646
00:23:38,609 --> 00:23:39,089
No.
647
00:23:39,650 --> 00:23:41,089
As you're describing it, I'm like, yeah.
648
00:23:41,089 --> 00:23:41,970
That makes a lot of sense.
649
00:23:41,970 --> 00:23:42,289
You know?
650
00:23:42,289 --> 00:23:42,789
Yeah.
651
00:23:43,410 --> 00:23:44,950
Now, ankle socks.
652
00:23:46,345 --> 00:23:50,525
Those should just be banned from everything,
especially white ones.
653
00:23:52,424 --> 00:23:55,484
Here, let me go out and just show off all the
fucking dirt.
654
00:23:55,785 --> 00:23:58,265
At least when it gets on your leg, your shoe
still pops.
655
00:23:58,265 --> 00:24:00,585
You can't tell; you wipe that shit off in the
shower.
656
00:24:00,585 --> 00:24:01,085
Yeah.
657
00:24:01,700 --> 00:24:02,900
Ankle socks are terrible.
658
00:24:02,900 --> 00:24:05,240
They make golf shoes look like a little boot.
659
00:24:05,299 --> 00:24:06,259
Like the Yeah.
660
00:24:06,259 --> 00:24:08,180
I wanna go back to calf socks here real quick.
661
00:24:08,180 --> 00:24:08,660
Sure.
662
00:24:08,660 --> 00:24:14,420
I was a big anti-calf sock guy when LIV Golf
first came out, and they're wearing shorts, and
663
00:24:14,420 --> 00:24:17,595
some of the English guys were wearing those
white calf socks.
664
00:24:17,595 --> 00:24:20,974
And I'm like, they look like my grandfather out
there.
665
00:24:22,154 --> 00:24:24,075
I have shifted my opinion a bit.
666
00:24:24,075 --> 00:24:27,994
Some of the guys out there that do it look
pretty good.
667
00:24:27,994 --> 00:24:28,494
Who?
668
00:24:28,875 --> 00:24:30,015
Don't say Poulter.
669
00:24:30,234 --> 00:24:30,734
No.
670
00:24:31,970 --> 00:24:34,309
Because he's the one that comes to mind.
671
00:24:34,690 --> 00:24:35,589
Looks terrible.
672
00:24:37,490 --> 00:24:38,309
It's funny.
673
00:24:38,930 --> 00:24:41,650
Another one that looks terrible is Lee Westwood
when he does it.
674
00:24:41,650 --> 00:24:42,769
Oh, Lee Westwood.
675
00:24:42,769 --> 00:24:43,269
God.
676
00:24:44,464 --> 00:24:46,945
You know, I could go over the guys that don't
look good in them.
677
00:24:46,945 --> 00:24:51,585
I don't know if I could list a guy that I sat
there and I'm like, oh, that looks good.
678
00:24:51,585 --> 00:24:52,625
Well, you just said your
679
00:24:52,625 --> 00:24:53,744
your opinions changed.
680
00:24:53,744 --> 00:25:01,039
My opinions are shifting because I have seen
some people that have that, like, I'll glance.
681
00:25:01,039 --> 00:25:02,420
I'll be like, oh, that's not bad.
682
00:25:03,039 --> 00:25:07,859
Do you think there's guys out there that are
just total scuzz and go no sock?
683
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,625
What's your opinion on no sock?
684
00:25:11,785 --> 00:25:14,285
You're a disgusting human.
685
00:25:14,345 --> 00:25:15,144
Horrible person.
686
00:25:15,144 --> 00:25:15,964
You're disgusting.
687
00:25:16,105 --> 00:25:18,744
You have no respect for anybody else in the
world.
688
00:25:18,744 --> 00:25:18,904
No.
689
00:25:18,904 --> 00:25:19,585
And you stink.
690
00:25:19,785 --> 00:25:19,904
Yep.
691
00:25:20,025 --> 00:25:20,664
All the time.
692
00:25:20,664 --> 00:25:21,484
Not 100%.
693
00:25:21,545 --> 00:25:22,444
Your whole body.
694
00:25:22,825 --> 00:25:23,305
Anyways.
695
00:25:24,019 --> 00:25:25,399
We got a big announcement.
696
00:25:26,500 --> 00:25:28,679
Big, big announcement right now.
697
00:25:29,059 --> 00:25:35,559
Now before we bring him on, this is our new
tour insider.
698
00:25:36,765 --> 00:25:43,565
This guy has played on the PGA Tour, the Korn
Ferry, current Korn Ferry player, if I must
699
00:25:43,565 --> 00:25:43,884
say.
700
00:25:43,884 --> 00:25:44,384
Right?
701
00:25:44,525 --> 00:25:44,924
Yeah.
702
00:25:44,924 --> 00:25:45,725
Believe so.
703
00:25:45,725 --> 00:25:46,605
As far as I know.
704
00:25:46,605 --> 00:25:47,404
As far as I know.
705
00:25:47,404 --> 00:25:48,930
We're gonna find out here in a second.
706
00:25:49,009 --> 00:25:55,890
Gonna bring him on here in just a second and,
let's go ahead and do so if I can find my way
707
00:25:55,890 --> 00:25:56,710
over there.
708
00:25:56,930 --> 00:26:00,210
Folks, we're still getting used to the new set
here.
709
00:26:00,210 --> 00:26:01,009
Oh, there he is.
710
00:26:01,009 --> 00:26:01,730
Oh, there he is.
711
00:26:01,730 --> 00:26:02,369
There he is.
712
00:26:02,369 --> 00:26:04,309
Look at him smoking a fucking
713
00:26:04,605 --> 00:26:05,005
stone.
714
00:26:05,005 --> 00:26:06,204
Oh my god.
715
00:26:06,204 --> 00:26:07,105
That's fantastic.
716
00:26:07,325 --> 00:26:07,825
Aw.
717
00:26:08,045 --> 00:26:10,765
I wonder if we can do person in person here.
718
00:26:10,765 --> 00:26:11,724
Oh, yeah.
719
00:26:11,724 --> 00:26:12,224
Oh.
720
00:26:12,605 --> 00:26:13,085
Wow.
721
00:26:13,085 --> 00:26:14,865
That's fantastic stuff.
722
00:26:15,484 --> 00:26:15,644
How are
723
00:26:15,644 --> 00:26:16,365
we doing, boys?
724
00:26:16,537 --> 00:26:16,710
That.
725
00:26:16,789 --> 00:26:17,589
Doing great, folks.
726
00:26:17,589 --> 00:26:18,789
We got Brent Grant here.
727
00:26:18,789 --> 00:26:19,990
Brent Grant in the house.
728
00:26:19,990 --> 00:26:20,490
Whew.
729
00:26:20,710 --> 00:26:22,970
It's fantastic to have you on the show.
730
00:26:23,429 --> 00:26:24,950
Thanks for being thanks for having me.
731
00:26:24,950 --> 00:26:26,089
Excited to be here.
732
00:26:26,390 --> 00:26:28,230
We're we're excited to have you.
733
00:26:28,230 --> 00:26:30,984
I mean, let's start off.
734
00:26:30,984 --> 00:26:33,065
First of all, I'm almost stumbling for words
here.
735
00:26:33,065 --> 00:26:33,865
I'm so excited.
736
00:26:33,865 --> 00:26:35,065
That rarely happens.
737
00:26:35,065 --> 00:26:36,365
It was a cigar.
738
00:26:36,904 --> 00:26:37,884
It really was.
739
00:26:38,105 --> 00:26:41,884
You came in blowing that cigar, and I'm like,
holy shit.
740
00:26:41,944 --> 00:26:44,444
This is gonna work out real good.
741
00:26:44,984 --> 00:26:45,804
Real good.
742
00:26:45,919 --> 00:26:50,880
But, Brent, for our audience members that might
not be familiar with you, why don't you give us
743
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:55,119
a little bit of your background and your
journey and actually a little bit of an update
744
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:56,960
on your playing status right now?
745
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:57,779
What's happened?
746
00:26:57,919 --> 00:26:58,419
Yeah.
747
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,964
Well, first of all, again, thanks for having
me.
748
00:27:02,964 --> 00:27:04,164
But, yeah.
749
00:27:04,964 --> 00:27:11,125
So I started off in Hawaii about 10, 12 years
ago or so, and then, made it to the Korn Ferry
750
00:27:11,125 --> 00:27:15,029
Tour, in, I think, high school 2019.
751
00:27:15,029 --> 00:27:15,669
Back that up.
752
00:27:15,669 --> 00:27:19,909
Now tell people, he didn't, I don't if I
recall, he didn't, like, grow up playing junior
753
00:27:19,909 --> 00:27:21,210
golf at all.
754
00:27:21,269 --> 00:27:21,769
Really?
755
00:27:21,829 --> 00:27:22,329
Yeah.
756
00:27:22,789 --> 00:27:23,029
Yeah.
757
00:27:23,029 --> 00:27:30,825
I had, I had two junior golf events ever, and
some mixed in some high school events and some
758
00:27:31,125 --> 00:27:36,164
local Hawaii amateur events before college.
759
00:27:36,164 --> 00:27:43,150
And then, in college, I played two individual
events at Division I, and then I think I played
760
00:27:43,150 --> 00:27:49,170
10 or 11 at the Division II level, and then
went back to work for about a year.
761
00:27:49,390 --> 00:27:56,994
And then, yeah, decided to turn pro and made it
through Q School after my third run, and stayed
762
00:27:56,994 --> 00:28:02,194
on the Korn Ferry Tour through the COVID
seasons, plural, and then made it to the PGA
763
00:28:02,194 --> 00:28:03,174
Tour in 2022.
764
00:28:04,355 --> 00:28:11,299
Fell off the PGA Tour this last year, and then
unfortunately had some things go on and wasn't
765
00:28:11,299 --> 00:28:16,019
able to get it done this year, but we are
currently going back to Q School.
766
00:28:16,019 --> 00:28:16,740
So okay.
767
00:28:16,740 --> 00:28:16,899
Okay.
768
00:28:17,059 --> 00:28:22,644
Kind of a big up and down, up and down, but,
fortunately, the game is probably the best it's
769
00:28:22,644 --> 00:28:23,045
ever been.
770
00:28:23,045 --> 00:28:24,725
It's just we're waiting to see the results.
771
00:28:24,725 --> 00:28:24,884
So
772
00:28:25,125 --> 00:28:26,265
How old are you, Brent?
773
00:28:28,005 --> 00:28:28,505
28.
774
00:28:28,725 --> 00:28:29,125
Yeah.
775
00:28:29,125 --> 00:28:29,625
28.
776
00:28:29,845 --> 00:28:30,965
Got got a lot of time.
777
00:28:30,965 --> 00:28:31,605
Got some time.
778
00:28:31,605 --> 00:28:32,485
Got a lot of time.
779
00:28:32,485 --> 00:28:33,365
We got some time.
780
00:28:33,365 --> 00:28:35,225
Guys don't peak until they're 35.
781
00:28:35,799 --> 00:28:40,680
But what's cool is, and that's I think what
average age of a tour rookie is still, like,
782
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,160
what, like, 33 or 4 or something like that?
783
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:43,320
I don't know.
784
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:43,960
I don't know that.
785
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,240
It's in the it's in the thirties.
786
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:46,700
It's a pretty good stat there.
787
00:28:48,775 --> 00:28:49,015
God.
788
00:28:49,015 --> 00:28:50,054
Where was I going with this?
789
00:28:50,054 --> 00:28:50,694
I just lost That's
790
00:28:50,694 --> 00:28:52,214
a great that's a great question.
791
00:28:52,214 --> 00:28:52,615
Fuck.
792
00:28:52,615 --> 00:28:54,535
I totally lost my train of thought.
793
00:28:54,535 --> 00:28:59,734
Oh, so you got to play an entire season on the
PGA Tour though.
794
00:28:59,734 --> 00:29:01,494
And, I did.
795
00:29:01,494 --> 00:29:08,109
Which, by the way, I looked at your stats from
your season on the PGA Tour, and it's gotta be
796
00:29:08,109 --> 00:29:14,369
pretty disheartening to have that many top 20s,
a top 10, and yet lose your card.
797
00:29:16,109 --> 00:29:16,509
Yeah.
798
00:29:16,509 --> 00:29:17,804
I mean, looking back on
799
00:29:17,804 --> 00:29:18,404
it Yeah.
800
00:29:18,684 --> 00:29:21,724
What it ends up being is is yeah.
801
00:29:21,724 --> 00:29:22,704
But he knows.
802
00:29:23,244 --> 00:29:28,684
You know, it's it was, one of those things and
you guys talked about it, I think two episodes
803
00:29:28,684 --> 00:29:29,130
ago.
804
00:29:29,289 --> 00:29:33,369
You guys are talking about elite ball strikers
that struggle with putting and that's one of
805
00:29:33,369 --> 00:29:36,190
the things that has finally come around.
806
00:29:36,329 --> 00:29:40,430
And, Buttsy and I have talked about it for,
shoot, probably five years now.
807
00:29:40,569 --> 00:29:44,785
And that was one of those things that I didn't
wanna work on because, you know, I felt like,
808
00:29:44,785 --> 00:29:48,085
yeah, you know, it'll it'll it'll be there when
I need it.
809
00:29:48,225 --> 00:29:50,884
And unfortunately, it wasn't.
810
00:29:50,945 --> 00:29:56,705
So, you know, it was one of those things that,
obviously, looking back, you can change a lot
811
00:29:56,705 --> 00:30:01,950
of things, but, pretty fortunate to be able to
actually be able to putt now.
812
00:30:01,950 --> 00:30:05,869
The problem is, you know, again, it's it's
about getting it done on the weekend, and
813
00:30:05,869 --> 00:30:07,390
that's not something we did this year.
814
00:30:07,390 --> 00:30:12,375
But, we're looking forward to moving forward
and looking forward to moving forward.
815
00:30:12,855 --> 00:30:13,695
Just moving forward.
816
00:30:13,974 --> 00:30:14,494
Looking forward.
817
00:30:14,494 --> 00:30:14,694
And,
818
00:30:15,015 --> 00:30:16,294
we we are looking forward
819
00:30:16,535 --> 00:30:17,115
to being
820
00:30:17,174 --> 00:30:19,515
in the in the now, right now.
821
00:30:19,575 --> 00:30:20,795
And move forward.
822
00:30:21,734 --> 00:30:23,734
So but, yeah.
823
00:30:23,734 --> 00:30:27,494
It's it's gonna be an interesting fall, and and
we will see what happens.
824
00:30:27,494 --> 00:30:27,994
But,
825
00:30:28,579 --> 00:30:30,399
dude, we're gonna be a part of this journey
with you.
826
00:30:30,399 --> 00:30:30,880
Oh, I'm
827
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,279
on we're gonna be in every stop of the week.
828
00:30:33,279 --> 00:30:33,779
Yeah.
829
00:30:33,839 --> 00:30:35,839
I mean, week in and week out.
830
00:30:35,839 --> 00:30:36,159
Yeah.
831
00:30:36,159 --> 00:30:42,079
So, folks, Brent has committed to being here on
a weekly basis, throwing you live on the spot
832
00:30:42,079 --> 00:30:42,434
here.
833
00:30:42,515 --> 00:30:49,394
But he mentioned that, you know, we are going
to have a segment for you each and every week.
834
00:30:49,394 --> 00:30:49,875
Yeah.
835
00:30:49,875 --> 00:30:54,055
And that is where we are absolutely stoked to
have you be a part of this show.
836
00:30:54,195 --> 00:30:56,375
We're gonna dig into what he knows.
837
00:30:56,674 --> 00:30:58,275
We're gonna dig into what he knows.
838
00:30:58,275 --> 00:31:01,650
There may be some things that he doesn't wanna
address, doesn't wanna talk about, people that
839
00:31:01,650 --> 00:31:02,950
he doesn't wanna out.
840
00:31:03,170 --> 00:31:04,070
Not really.
841
00:31:04,609 --> 00:31:06,450
See, this is why it's perfect.
842
00:31:06,450 --> 00:31:06,950
Yeah.
843
00:31:07,009 --> 00:31:12,930
I mean, when I had Bobby Brown, the caddie on
the podcast, I mean, he was a guy that loved to
844
00:31:12,930 --> 00:31:13,634
talk shit.
845
00:31:13,795 --> 00:31:17,255
He was just perfect because he said a lot of
stuff that he probably shouldn't.
846
00:31:17,474 --> 00:31:18,835
So this is a great fit.
847
00:31:18,835 --> 00:31:20,695
It's an unfiltered golf podcast.
848
00:31:21,075 --> 00:31:24,755
And, again, we're grateful to have you be a
part of this.
849
00:31:24,755 --> 00:31:31,889
You're kind of our who is it on the Pat McAfee
show who's always tuning in remotely?
850
00:31:31,889 --> 00:31:32,929
I gotta watch that.
851
00:31:32,929 --> 00:31:33,649
I don't know.
852
00:31:33,970 --> 00:31:37,269
It's the Hawk.
853
00:31:37,409 --> 00:31:38,130
AJ Hawk.
854
00:31:38,130 --> 00:31:38,630
Kelsey.
855
00:31:38,929 --> 00:31:39,250
Yeah.
856
00:31:39,250 --> 00:31:39,649
Hawk.
857
00:31:39,649 --> 00:31:39,889
Yeah.
858
00:31:39,889 --> 00:31:40,609
AJ Hawk is always.
859
00:31:40,769 --> 00:31:40,929
But
860
00:31:40,929 --> 00:31:45,585
I'll be I will be able to come in the studio,
you know, every now and then, who knows what's
861
00:31:45,585 --> 00:31:46,065
gonna happen?
862
00:31:46,065 --> 00:31:48,865
I might move back to Phoenix and and and do
863
00:31:49,025 --> 00:31:49,984
Well, that would be dope.
864
00:31:49,984 --> 00:31:51,365
That would be dope.
865
00:31:51,904 --> 00:31:59,700
And, hopefully, that moves into our next studio
next year where we've got a full-on I mean,
866
00:31:59,700 --> 00:32:01,059
even bigger than this studio.
867
00:32:01,059 --> 00:32:02,580
That's what we're looking at right now.
868
00:32:02,580 --> 00:32:08,660
So hopefully, have some seats in there for a
whole crew a whole crew of us talking golf.
869
00:32:08,660 --> 00:32:08,820
I
870
00:32:08,820 --> 00:32:11,000
mean, sky's the limit, brother.
871
00:32:11,140 --> 00:32:12,259
Sky's the limit.
872
00:32:12,259 --> 00:32:12,580
I know.
873
00:32:12,580 --> 00:32:13,664
We're going all in.
874
00:32:13,744 --> 00:32:14,384
We're going all in.
875
00:32:15,585 --> 00:32:20,865
I'm tired of all these kind of half-assed shows
that aren't real people.
876
00:32:20,865 --> 00:32:23,265
So let's make it a real thing.
877
00:32:23,265 --> 00:32:23,765
Yeah.
878
00:32:24,225 --> 00:32:25,845
You are a great fit already.
879
00:32:25,904 --> 00:32:26,785
I see it.
880
00:32:26,785 --> 00:32:27,509
Oh, he gets it.
881
00:32:27,509 --> 00:32:27,750
He he
882
00:32:27,990 --> 00:32:29,190
But he vouched for you.
883
00:32:29,190 --> 00:32:34,869
And I will say you are hitting the nail on the
head with every single comment.
884
00:32:34,869 --> 00:32:36,869
My smile couldn't be bigger right now.
885
00:32:36,869 --> 00:32:38,150
We talked about this before.
886
00:32:38,150 --> 00:32:44,005
We may never receive a PGA Tour media
credential because, yes.
887
00:32:44,005 --> 00:32:44,404
She will.
888
00:32:44,404 --> 00:32:45,765
I'll make sure of it.
889
00:32:45,765 --> 00:32:48,184
Thirty seconds into any one of these episodes.
890
00:32:48,244 --> 00:32:48,404
No.
891
00:32:48,404 --> 00:32:48,565
No.
892
00:32:48,565 --> 00:32:48,724
No.
893
00:32:48,724 --> 00:32:48,804
No.
894
00:32:48,804 --> 00:32:49,525
I can't do that.
895
00:32:49,525 --> 00:32:49,684
No.
896
00:32:49,684 --> 00:32:49,845
No.
897
00:32:49,845 --> 00:32:50,005
No.
898
00:32:50,005 --> 00:32:50,404
I can't
899
00:32:50,404 --> 00:32:51,125
say that.
900
00:32:51,125 --> 00:32:51,285
No.
901
00:32:51,285 --> 00:32:51,605
No.
902
00:32:51,605 --> 00:32:52,484
You can't say that.
903
00:32:52,484 --> 00:32:53,445
Can't do that.
904
00:32:53,445 --> 00:32:54,825
You can't say that.
905
00:32:55,150 --> 00:32:57,069
Well, that's where I think No Laying Up.
906
00:32:57,069 --> 00:33:01,309
A lot of people have gotten pissed off with
them, especially on Twitter and so forth
907
00:33:01,309 --> 00:33:03,089
because they've shifted.
908
00:33:03,309 --> 00:33:08,349
Ever since they became tight partners with the
PGA Tour, they have become pretty tight-lipped
909
00:33:08,349 --> 00:33:09,555
on a bunch of stuff.
910
00:33:09,715 --> 00:33:14,055
And then they trashed LIV Golf for a while, and
now they've kind of come back.
911
00:33:14,275 --> 00:33:16,115
It's like they kind of follow the trends.
912
00:33:16,115 --> 00:33:16,615
Right?
913
00:33:16,674 --> 00:33:16,994
No.
914
00:33:16,994 --> 00:33:17,955
Is that Colt Knost?
915
00:33:18,195 --> 00:33:20,914
Colt's on the Subpar podcast, which That's
right.
916
00:33:20,914 --> 00:33:24,960
Colt also with their attachment to the PGA Tour
as well.
917
00:33:25,279 --> 00:33:25,519
Mhmm.
918
00:33:25,599 --> 00:33:33,599
And with Colt doing a lot of the commentary for
PGA Tour Live and so forth, he's, sorry.
919
00:33:33,599 --> 00:33:34,659
That sound
920
00:33:35,515 --> 00:33:36,015
sound.
921
00:33:38,154 --> 00:33:40,954
I almost didn't get a bag, but I was like, no.
922
00:33:40,954 --> 00:33:42,815
I was gonna bother the fuck out.
923
00:33:43,434 --> 00:33:44,075
I was gonna
924
00:33:44,075 --> 00:33:45,115
get a bag too.
925
00:33:45,115 --> 00:33:47,035
I don't even know what the hell I was talking
about.
926
00:33:47,035 --> 00:33:47,355
Oh, just
927
00:33:47,355 --> 00:33:49,440
missing just missing the sunflower seeds.
928
00:33:49,599 --> 00:33:49,919
Yeah.
929
00:33:50,159 --> 00:33:55,619
So the No Laying Up podcast, I mean, you guys
saw it at the Creator Classic.
930
00:33:55,759 --> 00:33:57,940
I think I texted, like, immediately.
931
00:33:58,159 --> 00:33:59,700
I didn't even know it was happening.
932
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:00,559
Yeah.
933
00:34:00,559 --> 00:34:02,740
But it was kind of hollow.
934
00:34:02,965 --> 00:34:03,045
You know?
935
00:34:03,045 --> 00:34:08,085
You look at it and, obviously, Wesley Bryan
kind of heads up, you know, the Bryan Bros Golf
936
00:34:08,085 --> 00:34:10,824
kind of heads up that whole deal.
937
00:34:11,684 --> 00:34:19,069
But at the end of the day, you get only so far
with the PGA Tour when it comes to outside of
938
00:34:19,069 --> 00:34:26,109
the golf, and it's run by people that are in
the corporate structure their entire lives.
939
00:34:26,109 --> 00:34:26,349
Yeah.
940
00:34:26,349 --> 00:34:27,150
And yeah.
941
00:34:27,230 --> 00:34:35,275
They're not people that are gonna be able to
have a frank, you know, it is basically a PC
942
00:34:35,335 --> 00:34:35,815
farm.
943
00:34:35,815 --> 00:34:39,974
And so it is what it is, and there's not really
anything you could do about that.
944
00:34:39,974 --> 00:34:41,655
Well, welcome to our world now, Brent.
945
00:34:41,655 --> 00:34:41,894
So
946
00:34:42,614 --> 00:34:45,780
Well, fortunately, I have nothing to lose.
947
00:34:46,019 --> 00:34:50,420
So, you know, I'll even say this before we get
into it.
948
00:34:50,420 --> 00:34:55,460
Like, if LIV Golf were to give me a call, you
know, I'd happily go play.
949
00:34:55,460 --> 00:34:56,920
It wouldn't bother me at all.
950
00:34:56,980 --> 00:34:57,719
Love that.
951
00:34:57,875 --> 00:34:59,954
And we would love to see you go play all day.
952
00:34:59,954 --> 00:35:00,454
Absolutely.
953
00:35:00,755 --> 00:35:05,315
And there's some folks in the audience out here
that would probably love to speak to that as
954
00:35:05,315 --> 00:35:05,815
well.
955
00:35:06,355 --> 00:35:06,514
So
956
00:35:06,914 --> 00:35:09,315
We've been talking about that for the past
couple weeks.
957
00:35:09,315 --> 00:35:09,815
Yeah.
958
00:35:09,875 --> 00:35:10,594
I've seen it.
959
00:35:10,594 --> 00:35:11,494
I've seen it.
960
00:35:11,875 --> 00:35:12,514
So yeah.
961
00:35:12,755 --> 00:35:13,155
Love that.
962
00:35:13,234 --> 00:35:13,769
LIV Golf.
963
00:35:13,849 --> 00:35:14,010
Yeah.
964
00:35:14,010 --> 00:35:15,329
It's, it's
965
00:35:15,769 --> 00:35:22,650
We made mention of, and I think I said, there's
a lot of players that would still love the
966
00:35:22,650 --> 00:35:26,650
opportunity to go over to LIV, and I think that
that's not what people think.
967
00:35:26,650 --> 00:35:28,030
And I think that's false.
968
00:35:28,090 --> 00:35:28,590
There's
969
00:35:29,085 --> 00:35:30,045
You're right.
970
00:35:30,045 --> 00:35:37,244
I mean, I think that even some of the top guys
that have made the move for hundreds of
971
00:35:37,244 --> 00:35:41,484
millions of dollars probably look back and
realize that there was probably more things
972
00:35:41,484 --> 00:35:44,219
going on than what was in the contract.
973
00:35:44,219 --> 00:35:51,659
And, I mean, I won't out those guys because
it's personal conversations, but, you know, at
974
00:35:51,659 --> 00:35:55,679
the end of the day, they're long-term
contracts.
975
00:35:56,355 --> 00:35:58,755
They are, you know, they own you.
976
00:35:58,755 --> 00:36:03,014
It's not, you know, you don't have an
opportunity to break away if you want to.
977
00:36:03,394 --> 00:36:08,375
But at the same time, it's a lot of money, and
you're traveling to some pretty cool places,
978
00:36:08,514 --> 00:36:12,800
and you get access to things that normal
golfers don't get access to.
979
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:19,199
So if it's legacy that you're looking for,
obviously, as of right now, there's only one
980
00:36:19,199 --> 00:36:23,405
guy that could say that he's building his
legacy on the LIV tour, and that's Bryson with
981
00:36:23,405 --> 00:36:24,525
winning the U.S.
982
00:36:24,525 --> 00:36:28,465
Open and, I'm sorry, as well as Brooks with the
PGA win.
983
00:36:29,164 --> 00:36:34,684
But other than that, there's not really
anything else going on as far as building
984
00:36:34,684 --> 00:36:40,420
legacy outside of making a shitload of money
and being able to do what you want with it.
985
00:36:40,420 --> 00:36:42,280
I would have taken it in a heartbeat.
986
00:36:42,340 --> 00:36:42,660
Yeah.
987
00:36:42,660 --> 00:36:44,900
And Bryson, I just heard something about him.
988
00:36:44,900 --> 00:36:49,800
He really has turned into, like, what's the
word I'm looking for?
989
00:36:49,940 --> 00:36:55,315
He's like the official—he's like the head
ambassador of, mhmm, changing how people
990
00:36:55,315 --> 00:36:58,594
consume golf now and what he's done with
YouTube and everything else.
991
00:36:58,594 --> 00:36:59,074
Like, yeah.
992
00:36:59,315 --> 00:37:01,394
That's all the whole landscape's changing now.
993
00:37:01,394 --> 00:37:02,114
You got more people.
994
00:37:02,114 --> 00:37:04,139
He's also building junior academies as well.
995
00:37:04,299 --> 00:37:10,539
It's the same reason that guys that shoot a 112
can be more popular than active tour players
996
00:37:10,539 --> 00:37:12,219
because of a YouTube channel now.
997
00:37:12,219 --> 00:37:12,779
It's crazy.
998
00:37:12,779 --> 00:37:14,219
And make way more money.
999
00:37:14,219 --> 00:37:14,719
Yeah.
1000
00:37:15,179 --> 00:37:17,760
Valid, valid, valid, valid.
1001
00:37:17,819 --> 00:37:18,319
Yeah.
1002
00:37:18,695 --> 00:37:19,255
Good stuff.
1003
00:37:19,255 --> 00:37:22,295
Let's, let's, let's get on, let's get on to the
real stuff here.
1004
00:37:22,295 --> 00:37:22,855
What do we got?
1005
00:37:22,855 --> 00:37:23,655
The Presidents Cup?
1006
00:37:23,655 --> 00:37:25,355
We got the Presidents Cup.
1007
00:37:25,414 --> 00:37:26,215
That is true.
1008
00:37:26,295 --> 00:37:27,275
Be able to tell.
1009
00:37:27,335 --> 00:37:27,655
Right?
1010
00:37:27,655 --> 00:37:31,335
You, that that's that's not really out there
unless you're plugged into golf.
1011
00:37:31,335 --> 00:37:32,780
But, it is true.
1012
00:37:32,780 --> 00:37:35,679
PGA Tour's Ryder Cup is essentially what it is.
1013
00:37:35,900 --> 00:37:36,780
So that is.
1014
00:37:36,780 --> 00:37:38,400
And no LIV Golf guys.
1015
00:37:38,460 --> 00:37:41,760
I mean, that's one of the things that they're
still standing by.
1016
00:37:41,820 --> 00:37:42,699
No LIV golfers.
1017
00:37:42,699 --> 00:37:45,434
But did you hear that for the Ryder Cup next
year?
1018
00:37:45,594 --> 00:37:49,275
Now Keegan Bradley said he was gonna pick the
best players no matter what.
1019
00:37:49,275 --> 00:37:51,434
LIV Golf, PGA Tour, whatever.
1020
00:37:51,434 --> 00:37:57,675
So the PGA kinda got forced by him in order to
do in order to come out and say and I think
1021
00:37:57,675 --> 00:38:01,055
they wanna get ahead of it after his comments
around that.
1022
00:38:01,389 --> 00:38:06,829
But they have officially announced that LIV
Golfers are eligible now for the Ryder Cup.
1023
00:38:06,829 --> 00:38:10,210
Does that make you excited as just a golf fan?
1024
00:38:11,550 --> 00:38:13,630
You know, that's a great question.
1025
00:38:13,630 --> 00:38:21,315
I think that ultimately what it comes down to
is, can we, as Americans, get behind the idea
1026
00:38:21,454 --> 00:38:26,195
that we're always the favorite somehow and yet
we routinely get our asses kicked?
1027
00:38:27,469 --> 00:38:32,909
And, you know, the the the places that that it
kinda comes down to is, well, there's there's
1028
00:38:32,909 --> 00:38:37,150
the European side and they pick golf courses
that are super tight, thick rough, and it puts
1029
00:38:37,150 --> 00:38:40,210
a premium on driving and wedges and short game
and so on.
1030
00:38:40,724 --> 00:38:44,965
And then we pick golf courses where you can
spray it a million miles either direction and
1031
00:38:44,965 --> 00:38:48,965
there's rolls and all these other places and
then the European tour players have no chance.
1032
00:38:48,965 --> 00:38:53,849
So Bethpage Black is gonna be a place that,
man, it's
1033
00:38:54,010 --> 00:38:55,070
Is it an equalizer?
1034
00:38:55,210 --> 00:38:55,769
Of course.
1035
00:38:55,769 --> 00:38:56,090
I mean
1036
00:38:56,329 --> 00:39:00,809
I think it depends on who they pick, you know,
we're a year away from it.
1037
00:39:00,809 --> 00:39:09,775
The European tour doesn't seem to be producing
guys that are high level, so they're gonna have
1038
00:39:09,775 --> 00:39:11,635
to pick from certain LIV players.
1039
00:39:12,255 --> 00:39:14,035
Don't know how that's gonna go.
1040
00:39:14,094 --> 00:39:23,150
The PGA Tour clearly has a deeper talent well,
but at the same time, there's still a lot of
1041
00:39:23,150 --> 00:39:25,070
expectation and a lot of ego that the U.S.
1042
00:39:25,070 --> 00:39:26,349
team can't seem to get over.
1043
00:39:26,349 --> 00:39:30,429
So, hopefully, Keegan does a good job of
quieting all that down.
1044
00:39:30,429 --> 00:39:35,355
And as a younger guy and a guy that's still
playing at a super high level, he'll be able to
1045
00:39:35,434 --> 00:39:37,855
click in better than some of the older guys
have.
1046
00:39:38,394 --> 00:39:38,554
But
1047
00:39:38,554 --> 00:39:43,835
as a golf fan, I just want to see the best
players, and I have never cared what tour
1048
00:39:43,835 --> 00:39:47,295
you're on or whose banner you're loyal to.
1049
00:39:47,450 --> 00:39:48,910
I'm in 100% agreement.
1050
00:39:49,369 --> 00:39:50,410
I want to see Brooks.
1051
00:39:50,410 --> 00:39:52,490
I want to see Bryson in the Ryder Cup.
1052
00:39:52,490 --> 00:39:53,950
I especially want to see Bryson.
1053
00:39:54,090 --> 00:39:54,570
Yeah.
1054
00:39:54,570 --> 00:39:58,510
I think Bryson, the last time he played in the
Ryder Cup, was phenomenal.
1055
00:39:59,050 --> 00:39:59,610
What was that?
1056
00:39:59,690 --> 00:40:00,490
Whistling Straits?
1057
00:40:00,490 --> 00:40:01,930
Am I right on that?
1058
00:40:01,930 --> 00:40:02,430
Yeah.
1059
00:40:02,525 --> 00:40:04,144
Now Oh, God.
1060
00:40:04,605 --> 00:40:05,105
Sorry.
1061
00:40:05,244 --> 00:40:05,744
What?
1062
00:40:05,805 --> 00:40:08,125
Me smoking a cigar, him burping out.
1063
00:40:08,125 --> 00:40:09,485
I mean, what have you got going on?
1064
00:40:09,485 --> 00:40:10,465
He's got Diet Pepsi.
1065
00:40:10,605 --> 00:40:10,925
Well, I
1066
00:40:10,925 --> 00:40:11,565
mean, this is
1067
00:40:11,724 --> 00:40:12,605
You guys didn't see
1068
00:40:12,605 --> 00:40:13,085
that happen.
1069
00:40:13,164 --> 00:40:15,530
He's got some chew.
1070
00:40:15,590 --> 00:40:18,090
We're testing out a product here.
1071
00:40:18,710 --> 00:40:20,550
Are we product dropping right now?
1072
00:40:20,550 --> 00:40:20,949
No.
1073
00:40:20,949 --> 00:40:27,590
I'm not gonna mention it, but I will say it's
not out till November, and that's because these
1074
00:40:27,590 --> 00:40:29,210
pouches need to be improved.
1075
00:40:29,914 --> 00:40:35,195
And that one just broke open all up in my mouth
and almost peed on Wow.
1076
00:40:35,275 --> 00:40:35,755
Feed here.
1077
00:40:35,755 --> 00:40:36,155
Wow.
1078
00:40:36,155 --> 00:40:38,234
You would have had no idea he kept it together.
1079
00:40:38,315 --> 00:40:38,474
You
1080
00:40:38,474 --> 00:40:38,795
see me?
1081
00:40:38,875 --> 00:40:42,094
Outside of the massive burp that was from the
Diet Pepsi.
1082
00:40:42,474 --> 00:40:44,519
And by the way, who drinks Diet Pepsi?
1083
00:40:44,599 --> 00:40:45,099
Psychopaths.
1084
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,019
Fucking love Diet Pepsi.
1085
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,300
Especially a wild cherry variety.
1086
00:40:50,519 --> 00:40:51,000
Oh my God.
1087
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:51,159
What
1088
00:40:51,159 --> 00:40:51,559
the fuck?
1089
00:40:51,559 --> 00:40:52,280
What the fuck do
1090
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:52,840
we do?
1091
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:53,980
Oh, God.
1092
00:40:54,039 --> 00:40:56,539
We're promoting diabetes.
1093
00:40:56,679 --> 00:40:57,739
That's what we're promoting.
1094
00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:58,860
Well, hopefully,
1095
00:40:59,239 --> 00:40:59,925
you know.
1096
00:41:00,485 --> 00:41:02,105
Love some diabetes.
1097
00:41:02,405 --> 00:41:02,644
Anyways,
1098
00:41:02,804 --> 00:41:04,344
depending on your government conspiracy.
1099
00:41:04,804 --> 00:41:05,045
Right.
1100
00:41:05,045 --> 00:41:05,765
We'll go right
1101
00:41:05,765 --> 00:41:06,565
back in for another.
1102
00:41:06,724 --> 00:41:11,684
Let's go over for the audience members that are
newer to the game of golf and so forth because
1103
00:41:11,684 --> 00:41:13,704
we do get quite a few of them as well.
1104
00:41:13,820 --> 00:41:14,539
They're like, wow.
1105
00:41:14,539 --> 00:41:18,880
I've become interested because you guys are
hilarious around the game of golf.
1106
00:41:19,099 --> 00:41:20,380
So let's start off.
1107
00:41:20,380 --> 00:41:25,739
The President's Cup is the United States and
basically everybody that is not allowed to play
1108
00:41:25,739 --> 00:41:26,744
in the Ryder Cup.
1109
00:41:26,985 --> 00:41:28,105
Is that fair to say?
1110
00:41:28,105 --> 00:41:28,605
Yeah.
1111
00:41:29,305 --> 00:41:30,744
Then we've got the U.S.
1112
00:41:30,744 --> 00:41:34,585
team captain is Jim Furyk, which, good old
Jimmy Furyk.
1113
00:41:34,585 --> 00:41:36,365
I don't know what to say about Jimmy.
1114
00:41:36,425 --> 00:41:37,244
But I love
1115
00:41:37,385 --> 00:41:37,945
I love Jim.
1116
00:41:37,945 --> 00:41:38,025
Yeah.
1117
00:41:38,025 --> 00:41:38,505
That's great.
1118
00:41:38,505 --> 00:41:39,385
He's a great guy.
1119
00:41:39,385 --> 00:41:44,559
I mean, you used to see him at the, you know,
when he was playing at the Masters, his wife
1120
00:41:44,559 --> 00:41:48,559
would be in the NetJets or Wheels Up tents and
just having a ball.
1121
00:41:48,559 --> 00:41:49,119
Great woman.
1122
00:41:49,119 --> 00:41:49,679
Great woman.
1123
00:41:49,679 --> 00:41:52,159
Now that being said, we've got the U.S.
1124
00:41:52,159 --> 00:41:58,125
team players and Scottie Scheffler, Xander
Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, Wyndham Clark,
1125
00:41:58,125 --> 00:42:04,385
Patrick Cantlay, Sahith Theegala, Keegan
Bradley, Sam Burns, Tony Finau, Brian Harman,
1126
00:42:04,525 --> 00:42:06,625
Russell Henley, and Max Homa.
1127
00:42:06,925 --> 00:42:11,609
And then on the international side, we'll get
to some analysis here in a second.
1128
00:42:11,609 --> 00:42:16,170
But on the international side, we got the team
captain, Mike Weir, the Canadian.
1129
00:42:16,170 --> 00:42:17,130
And obviously, it's happening
1130
00:42:17,369 --> 00:42:17,769
What, Mike?
1131
00:42:17,849 --> 00:42:19,309
In Canada this year.
1132
00:42:19,609 --> 00:42:22,829
And that's very fitting for having Mike Weir as
a captain.
1133
00:42:23,049 --> 00:42:27,375
Now the international players, Hideki
Matsuyama.
1134
00:42:27,375 --> 00:42:28,015
There we go.
1135
00:42:28,015 --> 00:42:28,575
Got that.
1136
00:42:28,575 --> 00:42:30,114
Number 1 player in the world.
1137
00:42:30,255 --> 00:42:30,755
Matsuyama.
1138
00:42:31,295 --> 00:42:32,355
Sungjae Im.
1139
00:42:34,414 --> 00:42:36,035
Wrong wrong win caddy.
1140
00:42:36,175 --> 00:42:38,675
So we've got Adam Scott.
1141
00:42:39,769 --> 00:42:40,969
We got Tom Kim.
1142
00:42:40,969 --> 00:42:41,710
I don't know.
1143
00:42:42,489 --> 00:42:48,190
Jason Day, Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Corey
Conners, good good old Canadian.
1144
00:42:48,250 --> 00:42:49,789
Mackenzie Hughes, another Canadian.
1145
00:42:50,170 --> 00:42:53,405
Si Woo Kim, player’s champ, bro.
1146
00:42:53,405 --> 00:42:55,005
That's, what his line is.
1147
00:42:55,005 --> 00:42:56,224
I'm player champ, bro.
1148
00:42:56,445 --> 00:42:57,125
So absolutely.
1149
00:42:57,485 --> 00:42:58,605
He, he would
1150
00:42:58,605 --> 00:42:59,724
use that every player champ.
1151
00:42:59,724 --> 00:43:01,405
Every every yeah.
1152
00:43:01,405 --> 00:43:02,204
Player champ, bro.
1153
00:43:02,204 --> 00:43:02,364
I
1154
00:43:02,364 --> 00:43:03,425
did player champ.
1155
00:43:03,485 --> 00:43:08,289
Every time that, he would ever have a shot to
where his caddy would disagree with him.
1156
00:43:08,289 --> 00:43:08,609
Yep.
1157
00:43:08,609 --> 00:43:10,309
It was always, I'm player champ, bro.
1158
00:43:10,369 --> 00:43:11,170
He reminds me of
1159
00:43:11,250 --> 00:43:14,150
I know I know personally a guy that had that
said to him.
1160
00:43:15,170 --> 00:43:19,190
He reminds me of, of Kim Jong Un from Team
America.
1161
00:43:20,994 --> 00:43:21,795
Oh, Jesus.
1162
00:43:21,795 --> 00:43:22,514
Oh, God.
1163
00:43:22,514 --> 00:43:23,554
Well, here's the thing.
1164
00:43:23,554 --> 00:43:24,054
America.
1165
00:43:24,675 --> 00:43:25,175
America.
1166
00:43:26,034 --> 00:43:26,934
Fuck yeah.
1167
00:43:27,155 --> 00:43:27,655
Don't.
1168
00:43:30,034 --> 00:43:30,434
Jesus.
1169
00:43:30,434 --> 00:43:36,349
We're just missing, like, the Joe Rogan, like,
the bong, the eagle bong that they don't use
1170
00:43:36,349 --> 00:43:36,750
anymore.
1171
00:43:36,750 --> 00:43:37,150
We need that.
1172
00:43:37,150 --> 00:43:38,110
That's what we're missing.
1173
00:43:38,110 --> 00:43:39,010
We need that.
1174
00:43:39,869 --> 00:43:41,710
We might have to make one ourselves, you know.
1175
00:43:41,710 --> 00:43:42,670
We could start both.
1176
00:43:42,670 --> 00:43:46,050
Just can't play the music though because of
certain rules and regulations.
1177
00:43:46,110 --> 00:43:50,244
You know, Si Woo has really taken off since
Manny Villegas went on his back.
1178
00:43:50,244 --> 00:43:56,965
Manny Villegas went in, so Camilo's brother
became his caddy for the Presidents Cup, the
1179
00:43:56,965 --> 00:43:58,405
last Presidents Cup 2 years ago.
1180
00:43:58,405 --> 00:43:58,644
Wow.
1181
00:43:58,644 --> 00:44:00,264
Has been on his back ever since.
1182
00:44:00,405 --> 00:44:00,565
Oh, I
1183
00:44:00,565 --> 00:44:01,125
didn't know that.
1184
00:44:01,125 --> 00:44:01,364
Yeah.
1185
00:44:01,364 --> 00:44:01,860
Great dude.
1186
00:44:01,940 --> 00:44:02,180
K.
1187
00:44:02,180 --> 00:44:02,820
Had him on the pod.
1188
00:44:02,820 --> 00:44:03,539
Super nice guy.
1189
00:44:03,539 --> 00:44:03,700
Yeah.
1190
00:44:03,700 --> 00:44:09,780
Had him on after he had some stories about the
Presidents Cup, the last one with Si Woo Kim,
1191
00:44:09,780 --> 00:44:11,320
shushing the crowd and everything.
1192
00:44:11,539 --> 00:44:13,619
He got pretty animated on the podcast.
1193
00:44:13,619 --> 00:44:15,160
Good dude, Manny Villegas.
1194
00:44:15,220 --> 00:44:16,579
So giving him a little shout out.
1195
00:44:16,579 --> 00:44:17,835
Then we got Min Woo Lee.
1196
00:44:18,394 --> 00:44:19,375
Let him cook.
1197
00:44:19,835 --> 00:44:22,175
Is he ever gonna live that tagline down?
1198
00:44:22,315 --> 00:44:23,034
I don't think so.
1199
00:44:23,034 --> 00:44:24,155
I don't think he wants to.
1200
00:44:24,155 --> 00:44:25,035
How does he not know?
1201
00:44:25,114 --> 00:44:25,835
Embraces it.
1202
00:44:25,835 --> 00:44:29,135
Like a Tupperware sponsor where he's cooking.
1203
00:44:29,195 --> 00:44:31,679
Because Lululemon is or or Yeah.
1204
00:44:31,679 --> 00:44:32,480
Where's he where's he going?
1205
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:32,639
No.
1206
00:44:32,639 --> 00:44:33,619
He's with Lululemon.
1207
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:34,239
Yeah.
1208
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:35,300
He should be Lululemon.
1209
00:44:35,519 --> 00:44:36,239
Oh, he's shit.
1210
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,239
You know, pay him enough, you know.
1211
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:38,640
Yeah.
1212
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:39,359
With a wedge.
1213
00:44:39,359 --> 00:44:40,239
They give him a lot.
1214
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:40,739
Yeah.
1215
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:50,445
At the Phoenix Open, they had about, they paid
for, like, 500 chef guys just to be out there
1216
00:44:50,445 --> 00:44:53,085
with chef hats on and it says, "Let them cook."
Oh.
1217
00:44:53,085 --> 00:44:53,724
So, yeah.
1218
00:44:53,724 --> 00:44:55,085
Lululemon's doing right by him.
1219
00:44:55,085 --> 00:44:55,325
Okay.
1220
00:44:55,325 --> 00:44:55,644
He really doesn't.
1221
00:44:55,724 --> 00:44:56,525
Did he play this year?
1222
00:44:56,525 --> 00:44:57,724
Did he play good this year?
1223
00:44:57,724 --> 00:44:58,525
He's been okay.
1224
00:44:58,525 --> 00:44:59,905
I mean, he's had moments.
1225
00:45:00,050 --> 00:45:05,650
So in Detroit, he almost won at the Rocket
Mortgage, and that's a course that really
1226
00:45:05,650 --> 00:45:06,710
doesn't fit him.
1227
00:45:06,849 --> 00:45:09,829
So for him to do that, his game's in pretty
good shape.
1228
00:45:09,969 --> 00:45:13,204
Now, Taylor Pendrith is another one and Ben An.
1229
00:45:13,505 --> 00:45:14,385
Good old Ben An.
1230
00:45:14,385 --> 00:45:16,305
He's a Twitter guy, that Ben.
1231
00:45:16,465 --> 00:45:18,305
Hanging around all these years, Ben.
1232
00:45:18,305 --> 00:45:19,265
He really has.
1233
00:45:19,265 --> 00:45:20,164
We all know.
1234
00:45:20,305 --> 00:45:21,285
We all know.
1235
00:45:22,305 --> 00:45:22,805
Alright.
1236
00:45:23,585 --> 00:45:24,405
First question.
1237
00:45:25,130 --> 00:45:28,110
And I position this first to Brent.
1238
00:45:28,570 --> 00:45:31,710
Does the international team have a shot in
hell?
1239
00:45:33,449 --> 00:45:39,344
Man, I would say that right up until a few days
ago when they pissed Jim Furyk off.
1240
00:45:39,824 --> 00:45:44,965
And, you know, Jim, as everybody knows, is a
fiery guy when he wants to be.
1241
00:45:45,905 --> 00:45:47,445
And is he?
1242
00:45:47,905 --> 00:45:48,545
Oh, yeah.
1243
00:45:48,545 --> 00:45:48,625
I
1244
00:45:48,625 --> 00:45:51,264
know most people I don't think would know that
about Jim.
1245
00:45:51,264 --> 00:45:53,125
He's always kinda cool, calm, collected.
1246
00:45:53,369 --> 00:45:55,210
It's right underneath the surface.
1247
00:45:55,210 --> 00:45:56,670
The guy is an absolute killer.
1248
00:45:57,690 --> 00:45:58,409
It's a killer.
1249
00:45:58,409 --> 00:45:58,650
And I
1250
00:45:58,650 --> 00:46:01,289
think, well, I think it's everything he's got
going on.
1251
00:46:01,289 --> 00:46:06,489
It's his it's the thinness to his skin that
just, you know, that he's kinda got it peeled
1252
00:46:06,489 --> 00:46:07,695
back a little bit now.
1253
00:46:07,855 --> 00:46:08,094
Yeah.
1254
00:46:08,094 --> 00:46:09,394
Freddy Krueger face.
1255
00:46:09,614 --> 00:46:09,855
Yeah.
1256
00:46:09,855 --> 00:46:11,695
Did you know a lot of this golf swing?
1257
00:46:11,695 --> 00:46:11,934
Yeah.
1258
00:46:11,934 --> 00:46:12,175
A lot.
1259
00:46:12,175 --> 00:46:12,655
of people.
1260
00:46:12,655 --> 00:46:14,414
Well, you know, there's there's, you
1261
00:46:14,414 --> 00:46:14,494
know.
1262
00:46:14,655 --> 00:46:15,215
The comments.
1263
00:46:15,215 --> 00:46:16,175
Everybody says, you know.
1264
00:46:16,414 --> 00:46:19,855
I could just see him pecking somebody's eye out
with his nose.
1265
00:46:19,855 --> 00:46:20,594
Oh, absolutely.
1266
00:46:20,735 --> 00:46:21,235
100%.
1267
00:46:21,375 --> 00:46:21,535
Like a
1268
00:46:21,695 --> 00:46:22,914
Like Penguin from Batman.
1269
00:46:23,150 --> 00:46:23,230
Yeah.
1270
00:46:23,230 --> 00:46:25,090
Gotta watch out for a big nose.
1271
00:46:26,269 --> 00:46:27,309
Oh, okay.
1272
00:46:27,309 --> 00:46:29,329
A lot going on behind that nose.
1273
00:46:29,390 --> 00:46:35,070
Anyways, but I, you know, I look at the two
teams and, obviously, Hideki and Sungjae and
1274
00:46:35,070 --> 00:46:37,170
Adam and Tom, great players.
1275
00:46:38,505 --> 00:46:42,025
But the great thing about the majority of the
U.S.
1276
00:46:42,025 --> 00:46:47,404
team is that there's only one guy on the entire
team that is distracted.
1277
00:46:48,664 --> 00:46:53,385
And when I say distracted, I mean, with all of
the political talk between the PIF and the
1278
00:46:53,385 --> 00:46:55,400
board and all that junk.
1279
00:46:55,400 --> 00:47:02,360
And, fortunately, the rest of the team are all
young, hungry guys, and obviously, you just
1280
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:03,800
can't doubt those top three guys.
1281
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:07,740
I mean, Scheffler, Scheffler, Morikawa just
played unbelievable this year.
1282
00:47:08,765 --> 00:47:13,085
But then again, I mean, you got Hideki
Matsuyama, who theoretically could take on the
1283
00:47:13,085 --> 00:47:13,805
entire U.S.
1284
00:47:13,805 --> 00:47:15,505
team and beat them, yeah, by himself.
1285
00:47:16,125 --> 00:47:17,164
He's streaky though, man.
1286
00:47:17,244 --> 00:47:18,204
Player in the world.
1287
00:47:18,204 --> 00:47:19,405
He's he's streaky though.
1288
00:47:19,565 --> 00:47:20,045
What?
1289
00:47:20,045 --> 00:47:23,710
Tell you what, when his putter is on, he's
another guy that he's
1290
00:47:23,710 --> 00:47:24,750
just he's a ball striker.
1291
00:47:24,989 --> 00:47:25,650
Beat him.
1292
00:47:25,710 --> 00:47:26,210
Yeah.
1293
00:47:27,390 --> 00:47:28,289
He's not good.
1294
00:47:28,349 --> 00:47:29,469
Do they stand a chance?
1295
00:47:29,469 --> 00:47:31,570
I think I should probably answer that question.
1296
00:47:31,710 --> 00:47:34,450
I think it's gonna be closer than in years
past.
1297
00:47:35,375 --> 00:47:39,635
I don't know the exact total of points that
they need, but I'm gonna say the international
1298
00:47:39,775 --> 00:47:44,114
team makes it interesting coming down the last
five matches on Sunday.
1299
00:47:44,974 --> 00:47:53,180
Just because they've got some fiery guys on the
team, and they may have some momentum from this
1300
00:47:53,180 --> 00:47:55,840
year and the last Presidents Cup, you know,
making it interesting.
1301
00:47:55,980 --> 00:47:56,219
So
1302
00:47:56,380 --> 00:47:57,360
So no bloodbath.
1303
00:47:57,420 --> 00:47:59,039
You don't think it's gonna be a bloodbath?
1304
00:47:59,579 --> 00:47:59,739
No.
1305
00:47:59,739 --> 00:48:00,219
I don't.
1306
00:48:00,219 --> 00:48:06,085
I don't think, you know, with the way the
course is, the way—well, we're just affecting
1307
00:48:06,085 --> 00:48:11,684
the camera here—the way the course is set up,
it's obviously gonna—it's like you said, right,
1308
00:48:11,684 --> 00:48:17,210
it's gonna make wedges and controlling spin and
all that other stuff really important.
1309
00:48:17,269 --> 00:48:18,630
And I think the U.S.
1310
00:48:18,630 --> 00:48:21,349
team and the international team are pretty
close where that's concerned.
1311
00:48:21,349 --> 00:48:25,909
But if the international team can putt, it's
gonna be real close.
1312
00:48:25,909 --> 00:48:27,769
Have you played Bethpage?
1313
00:48:28,125 --> 00:48:28,364
Well, no.
1314
00:48:28,364 --> 00:48:28,965
It's not a—
1315
00:48:29,005 --> 00:48:30,284
I've not played Bethpage.
1316
00:48:30,284 --> 00:48:30,525
No.
1317
00:48:30,525 --> 00:48:32,445
That's the one we've got this year.
1318
00:48:32,445 --> 00:48:33,724
Royal Montreal Golf—
1319
00:48:33,724 --> 00:48:35,824
Club in Canada.
1320
00:48:35,965 --> 00:48:36,445
Yeah.
1321
00:48:36,445 --> 00:48:37,264
In Canada.
1322
00:48:37,405 --> 00:48:37,905
Yeah.
1323
00:48:37,965 --> 00:48:38,204
Oh, yeah.
1324
00:48:38,284 --> 00:48:38,784
See.
1325
00:48:39,005 --> 00:48:40,224
So Canada.
1326
00:48:42,125 --> 00:48:42,625
Yeah.
1327
00:48:43,019 --> 00:48:44,059
But, yeah, man.
1328
00:48:44,059 --> 00:48:45,019
I think—I don't know.
1329
00:48:45,019 --> 00:48:45,739
What do you think?
1330
00:48:45,739 --> 00:48:47,579
I think that the international team—
1331
00:48:48,219 --> 00:48:49,340
I've been trying so hard.
1332
00:48:49,340 --> 00:48:51,900
I've been analyzing the shit out of this going,
man.
1333
00:48:51,900 --> 00:48:53,119
Analyzing or analyzing?
1334
00:48:53,260 --> 00:48:53,760
Analyzing.
1335
00:48:54,300 --> 00:48:58,239
So with some beads and so forth, it'd be great.
1336
00:48:58,494 --> 00:49:01,234
You know, you've really gotta use the proper
lubrication.
1337
00:49:01,375 --> 00:49:01,954
I'm analyzing.
1338
00:49:02,094 --> 00:49:02,414
Yeah.
1339
00:49:02,414 --> 00:49:03,554
Analyzing meditation.
1340
00:49:03,775 --> 00:49:05,234
I love that.
1341
00:49:05,614 --> 00:49:05,775
These—
1342
00:49:06,094 --> 00:49:06,974
Starting out hot.
1343
00:49:07,214 --> 00:49:07,695
Hot.
1344
00:49:07,695 --> 00:49:11,614
Now the international team, I sat there and I'm
like, man, this is probably the best
1345
00:49:11,614 --> 00:49:14,800
international team on paper that I have seen.
1346
00:49:14,940 --> 00:49:18,139
However, in years, all of a sudden you start
looking at the U.S.
1347
00:49:18,139 --> 00:49:20,940
team and you're just like, holy shit.
1348
00:49:20,940 --> 00:49:25,599
The year Scottie Scheffler had, the year Xander
Schauffele had, Collin Morikawa,
1349
00:49:26,059 --> 00:49:26,880
Brian Harman.
1350
00:49:27,019 --> 00:49:27,519
Unreal.
1351
00:49:28,385 --> 00:49:31,684
Wyndham Clark, like, turned it around at the
Olympics.
1352
00:49:32,144 --> 00:49:35,905
And then you got Patrick Cantlay, who had a
really slow year, started to come on at the
1353
00:49:35,905 --> 00:49:36,405
end.
1354
00:49:36,545 --> 00:49:38,964
Sahith Theegala is an absolute beast.
1355
00:49:39,905 --> 00:49:45,059
You've got Keegan Bradley who still wants to
prove that he belongs and that he's going to be
1356
00:49:45,059 --> 00:49:49,220
the Ryder Cup captain who's gonna play even
though the Ryder Cup has told him they don't
1357
00:49:49,220 --> 00:49:49,860
want you to.
1358
00:49:49,860 --> 00:49:50,360
Yeah.
1359
00:49:50,420 --> 00:49:54,099
And then you got Sam Burns, who, Sam Burns is a
freak.
1360
00:49:54,099 --> 00:49:56,680
And by the way, he's been working with the
Short Game Chef.
1361
00:49:56,775 --> 00:50:03,414
So the Short Game Chef is now on his staff, and
that bodes really well for Sam Burns because I
1362
00:50:03,414 --> 00:50:08,694
was always kinda like, man, what is the one
thing with Sam Burns that just like there's
1363
00:50:08,694 --> 00:50:14,279
just something about him that and Parker
McLachlin brought up a really good point on our
1364
00:50:14,279 --> 00:50:14,779
interview.
1365
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:15,420
Yeah.
1366
00:50:15,559 --> 00:50:22,359
He said that, you know, the guys that you can't
really tell, it's normally how they're feeling
1367
00:50:22,359 --> 00:50:23,639
about their short game.
1368
00:50:23,639 --> 00:50:29,694
Not putting per se, but their short game
because it puts more pressure on their actual
1369
00:50:29,835 --> 00:50:31,755
swing and you don't realize that.
1370
00:50:31,755 --> 00:50:33,295
It's something that's not visible.
1371
00:50:33,674 --> 00:50:39,869
So you try to go after more things and you put
more pressure on hitting perfect shots where
1372
00:50:39,869 --> 00:50:44,109
when you know you can get up and down from
anywhere, all of a sudden it frees you up.
1373
00:50:44,109 --> 00:50:44,589
Yeah.
1374
00:50:44,589 --> 00:50:45,309
I'm like, shit.
1375
00:50:45,309 --> 00:50:45,789
Absolutely.
1376
00:50:45,789 --> 00:50:46,750
That makes a lot of
1377
00:50:46,750 --> 00:50:47,070
sense.
1378
00:50:47,070 --> 00:50:47,570
Absolutely.
1379
00:50:48,109 --> 00:50:48,429
Yeah.
1380
00:50:48,429 --> 00:50:49,869
And Parker, shoot.
1381
00:50:49,869 --> 00:50:53,164
Parker and I go way back, also from Hawaii.
1382
00:50:54,505 --> 00:50:54,744
Yeah.
1383
00:50:54,744 --> 00:51:02,025
I mean, Parker, what Parker has done, he put
in, you know, a year's worth of studying and
1384
00:51:02,025 --> 00:51:08,530
experimenting and, you know, I worked with him
for a little while and, you know, it takes a
1385
00:51:08,530 --> 00:51:12,309
certain type of person to implement Parker's
stuff.
1386
00:51:12,849 --> 00:51:16,289
Do I think that he's done great things with the
world of golf?
1387
00:51:16,289 --> 00:51:16,789
Absolutely.
1388
00:51:17,889 --> 00:51:22,974
But, you know, for a guy like Sam Burns, having
a structured fit to what he's doing with his
1389
00:51:22,974 --> 00:51:24,655
short game can only be a good thing.
1390
00:51:24,655 --> 00:51:29,775
The only thing I would say is that the reason
why I have a hard time thinking Sam Burns
1391
00:51:29,775 --> 00:51:37,000
deserves to be on the team is that this really
wasn't anywhere to be found over the last few
1392
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:37,480
years.
1393
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:38,440
I agree with you.
1394
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:43,159
That even at the Ryder Cup, I thought that
there were other guys that deserved to be on
1395
00:51:43,159 --> 00:51:49,494
the team, and I feel like Scottie and him,
because they're best friends, you know, Scottie
1396
00:51:49,494 --> 00:51:50,215
has some pull.
1397
00:51:50,215 --> 00:51:51,675
Little politic in there?
1398
00:51:51,815 --> 00:51:52,135
Yeah.
1399
00:51:52,135 --> 00:51:53,894
Well, you know, and rightfully so.
1400
00:51:53,894 --> 00:51:55,574
Scottie is a phenomenal guy.
1401
00:51:55,574 --> 00:52:01,014
But it's tough to say that, and I don't know
who would replace Sam Burns.
1402
00:52:01,014 --> 00:52:08,139
But, certainly in the Ryder Cup a couple, I
guess a year ago now, I wouldn't say that he
1403
00:52:08,139 --> 00:52:12,539
deserved to be on the team as much as Keegan
Bradley or Lucas Glover, but we'll see what
1404
00:52:12,539 --> 00:52:13,019
happens.
1405
00:52:13,019 --> 00:52:13,579
I'm with you, and
1406
00:52:13,579 --> 00:52:21,594
I don't think Sam Burns has really played that
great in these formats outside of the World
1407
00:52:21,594 --> 00:52:25,934
Golf Championship match that he went head to
head with Scottie Scheffler.
1408
00:52:25,994 --> 00:52:26,494
Right?
1409
00:52:26,554 --> 00:52:27,275
So yep.
1410
00:52:27,594 --> 00:52:32,170
That's the only one that I really recall of him
playing really well in match play, and he just
1411
00:52:32,170 --> 00:52:34,650
had it absolutely dialed in that week.
1412
00:52:34,650 --> 00:52:40,570
Now Tony Finau, I look at Tony and I'm like,
man, Tony hasn't had the best of years, but
1413
00:52:40,570 --> 00:52:41,769
he's still Tony Finau.
1414
00:52:41,769 --> 00:52:42,510
He's Finau.
1415
00:52:42,969 --> 00:52:43,469
Yeah.
1416
00:52:43,690 --> 00:52:44,250
It's tough to.
1417
00:52:45,050 --> 00:52:45,949
Tony is phenomenal.
1418
00:52:46,170 --> 00:52:54,414
He's just an athlete, and there's no better
example of what raw ability can do.
1419
00:52:54,574 --> 00:52:55,534
He's incredible.
1420
00:52:55,534 --> 00:53:00,630
Not to mention he's a great guy, and when he
sees it, I mean, it's tough to beat Tony in any
1421
00:53:00,630 --> 00:53:03,269
situation where he feels like his back is
against the wall.
1422
00:53:03,269 --> 00:53:04,010
So agreed.
1423
00:53:04,150 --> 00:53:04,869
I love seeing
1424
00:53:05,029 --> 00:53:05,750
see stuff on.
1425
00:53:05,750 --> 00:53:08,710
I love, sorry for cutting you off there,
Russell Henley.
1426
00:53:08,710 --> 00:53:10,630
I love seeing him be a part of this.
1427
00:53:10,630 --> 00:53:11,130
Dangerous.
1428
00:53:11,269 --> 00:53:11,510
Yeah.
1429
00:53:11,510 --> 00:53:12,010
Dangerous.
1430
00:53:12,230 --> 00:53:14,925
Such a good ball striker as well.
1431
00:53:15,565 --> 00:53:22,684
But putting, I mean, his putting and short game
is a joke.
1432
00:53:22,684 --> 00:53:26,144
I mean, it's unreal.
1433
00:53:26,844 --> 00:53:32,340
I mean, if there was a guy where I'd be like,
yeah, all we need to do is put that guy in
1434
00:53:32,340 --> 00:53:37,059
position and he's gonna succeed, Russell
Henley's probably up there in the top two or
1435
00:53:37,059 --> 00:53:38,579
top three of that conversation for sure.
1436
00:53:38,579 --> 00:53:43,079
Would you say Russell Henley is one of the more
underrated players out there?
1437
00:53:43,764 --> 00:53:44,485
Without a doubt.
1438
00:53:44,485 --> 00:53:51,204
You look at how he's won his tournaments
throughout his career, and you just see a guy
1439
00:53:51,204 --> 00:53:57,045
that struggles at times, but when he puts it
together, like we always talk about, oh, well,
1440
00:53:57,045 --> 00:53:59,420
if this guy can do this, he'll win by a
million.
1441
00:53:59,420 --> 00:54:01,360
Russell Henley literally does that.
1442
00:54:02,219 --> 00:54:04,719
When he puts it together, he wins by a bunch.
1443
00:54:04,940 --> 00:54:11,579
And so, you know, that doesn't mean that he's
the most talented, the most able golfer in the
1444
00:54:11,579 --> 00:54:15,280
world, but when he puts it together, he's
absolutely dangerous.
1445
00:54:15,284 --> 00:54:19,924
And I think that him being on the team with the
way he played this year, especially in the last
1446
00:54:19,924 --> 00:54:22,344
couple of years, is absolutely a good pick.
1447
00:54:22,804 --> 00:54:23,364
Love that.
1448
00:54:23,364 --> 00:54:30,910
Now the two weaknesses in my opinion, the only
two really on the team is Brian Harman and Max
1449
00:54:30,910 --> 00:54:33,809
Homa, just because they have not played well
this year.
1450
00:54:35,789 --> 00:54:37,390
What does Homa have this year?
1451
00:54:37,390 --> 00:54:37,550
Yeah.
1452
00:54:37,550 --> 00:54:38,269
So Brian
1453
00:54:38,269 --> 00:54:39,070
doesn't have shit.
1454
00:54:39,070 --> 00:54:43,405
So Brian, Brian's a dangerous guy.
1455
00:54:43,405 --> 00:54:47,964
So we'll get to Homa in a minute because,
obviously, him being a Phoenix guy, you know,
1456
00:54:47,964 --> 00:54:53,184
there are some things that I know that are
going on in his game that are pretty glaring.
1457
00:54:53,244 --> 00:54:55,690
But I think what's amazing is
1458
00:54:56,010 --> 00:54:56,210
Clear.
1459
00:54:56,410 --> 00:55:00,349
The guy that has actually left off this list is
Justin Thomas.
1460
00:55:00,650 --> 00:55:07,574
And what's interesting is it shows, like, the
view of Jim Furyk and his co-captains with
1461
00:55:07,574 --> 00:55:09,094
where he's trying to go with it.
1462
00:55:09,094 --> 00:55:15,414
And I think what makes Brian and Max different
is Brian saw an enormous amount of success last
1463
00:55:15,414 --> 00:55:15,734
year.
1464
00:55:15,734 --> 00:55:16,234
Yeah.
1465
00:55:16,295 --> 00:55:21,849
And for a guy like Brian in his mid to late
30s, a guy that hits it nowhere but is an
1466
00:55:21,849 --> 00:55:26,570
absolute grinder, might be the guy that you sit
there and go, I want that guy on my team.
1467
00:55:26,570 --> 00:55:28,130
Oh, 100% I love him.
1468
00:55:28,250 --> 00:55:29,150
Gonna show up.
1469
00:55:29,610 --> 00:55:34,750
The problem with Homa is, and I love Max, and
he knows I love him.
1470
00:55:35,025 --> 00:55:36,484
We're both Dodgers fans.
1471
00:55:37,105 --> 00:55:37,984
Well, there he is.
1472
00:55:37,984 --> 00:55:45,824
The problem, but the problem is, is where he's
sort of been stumbling is a place that is tough
1473
00:55:45,824 --> 00:55:49,139
to come back from unless you put in a crapload
of work.
1474
00:55:50,099 --> 00:55:54,900
And his problems with putting are, you can
kinda see him with, like, the posture thing
1475
00:55:54,900 --> 00:55:55,619
that he's doing.
1476
00:55:55,619 --> 00:56:01,079
And I did the same thing last year, and it took
many months for me to be able to figure it out.
1477
00:56:01,139 --> 00:56:08,015
And, obviously, he's in a much better position
in his career than I am, but the problem is it
1478
00:56:08,015 --> 00:56:09,554
goes one of two ways with Homa.
1479
00:56:09,614 --> 00:56:14,255
And the rest of the squad isn't like that aside
from maybe Burns and Cantlay.
1480
00:56:14,255 --> 00:56:14,615
But yeah.
1481
00:56:14,735 --> 00:56:17,039
It either goes really well for Homa or it
doesn't.
1482
00:56:17,119 --> 00:56:20,260
And the fact that, for example, Jordan Spieth
isn't on this list.
1483
00:56:20,559 --> 00:56:22,000
Justin Thomas isn't on the list.
1484
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:26,340
Like, there are guys that he's played with in
the past that are on this list.
1485
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:34,934
And it's a team dynamic that I think Homa,
Harman, and Burns may ultimately have an issue
1486
00:56:34,934 --> 00:56:35,434
with.
1487
00:56:36,054 --> 00:56:40,054
Maybe it goes great, maybe it doesn't, but I
think that that's probably where the U.S.
1488
00:56:40,054 --> 00:56:41,275
team may falter.
1489
00:56:41,414 --> 00:56:43,675
If those guys play great, it's gonna be a
bloodbath.
1490
00:56:43,735 --> 00:56:44,954
If they don't, it won't.
1491
00:56:45,739 --> 00:56:47,260
There you have it, the weakest links.
1492
00:56:47,260 --> 00:56:47,420
Yeah.
1493
00:56:47,420 --> 00:56:47,500
That's
1494
00:56:47,819 --> 00:56:48,179
Right there.
1495
00:56:48,380 --> 00:56:49,500
Saying that's the weakest links.
1496
00:56:49,500 --> 00:56:50,539
There's no in between with
1497
00:56:50,539 --> 00:56:51,019
those guys.
1498
00:56:51,019 --> 00:56:53,099
And I'm in full agreement with that.
1499
00:56:53,099 --> 00:56:54,159
What do you think, Buttsy?
1500
00:56:54,299 --> 00:56:55,280
I have to agree.
1501
00:56:55,420 --> 00:56:57,260
I mean yeah.
1502
00:56:57,260 --> 00:56:57,579
Yeah.
1503
00:56:57,579 --> 00:56:59,894
From the peanut gallery, Buttsy, what do you
think?
1504
00:57:00,375 --> 00:57:02,635
I love peanuts, first of all.
1505
00:57:03,494 --> 00:57:05,335
But, yeah, you guys are pretty much spot on
here.
1506
00:57:05,335 --> 00:57:07,094
I mean, how can I disagree with that?
1507
00:57:07,094 --> 00:57:07,535
And statistics
1508
00:57:07,735 --> 00:57:09,094
But you know the Phoenix guys?
1509
00:57:09,094 --> 00:57:14,710
I mean, what have you heard from any whispers
as far as what these guys are working on?
1510
00:57:14,710 --> 00:57:15,109
No.
1511
00:57:15,109 --> 00:57:18,949
I have not a single—I mean, I would imagine
they're working on what they fucking suck at.
1512
00:57:18,949 --> 00:57:19,269
Right?
1513
00:57:19,269 --> 00:57:21,670
Like, that's what you're supposed to do.
1514
00:57:21,670 --> 00:57:22,069
Right?
1515
00:57:22,069 --> 00:57:22,710
You would hope.
1516
00:57:22,710 --> 00:57:23,030
Right?
1517
00:57:23,030 --> 00:57:27,864
If you're a terrible putter, you don't go out
and then hit driver on the range every day.
1518
00:57:27,864 --> 00:57:28,105
Like
1519
00:57:28,344 --> 00:57:33,545
Do you guys think that the international team,
because the majority of them, you know, have
1520
00:57:33,545 --> 00:57:35,944
kind of been killed by, like, well, yes.
1521
00:57:35,944 --> 00:57:37,724
Obviously, that's a huge deal.
1522
00:57:38,184 --> 00:57:40,364
The talent pool in Korea is ridiculous.
1523
00:57:40,664 --> 00:57:46,559
But these guys that are—well, we can—you read
"The Talent Code" and it's pretty easy to
1524
00:57:46,559 --> 00:57:47,119
figure out.
1525
00:57:47,119 --> 00:57:52,400
But the bottom line is a lot of these guys are
kinda on the outside looking in as far as the
1526
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:53,539
PGA Tour is concerned.
1527
00:57:54,074 --> 00:58:00,474
And they're afterthoughts and they're not
covered by the media and they go into Europe
1528
00:58:00,474 --> 00:58:05,434
and Asia and they play very, very well and they
play well in the US as well, you know, also.
1529
00:58:05,434 --> 00:58:12,210
So there's a sense that there's just a little
bit more animosity and a little bit more hunger
1530
00:58:12,590 --> 00:58:15,730
going on now than there has been in the past.
1531
00:58:15,789 --> 00:58:16,110
Okay.
1532
00:58:16,110 --> 00:58:18,554
I got nervous here for a second there, Brent.
1533
00:58:18,554 --> 00:58:20,795
I thought the PGA Tour was sending some police.
1534
00:58:20,875 --> 00:58:21,034
Yeah.
1535
00:58:21,034 --> 00:58:21,755
I heard that.
1536
00:58:21,755 --> 00:58:22,255
Yes.
1537
00:58:22,394 --> 00:58:24,014
They're about to whack you.
1538
00:58:24,554 --> 00:58:25,114
Be careful.
1539
00:58:25,194 --> 00:58:26,394
Knows what I have in my house.
1540
00:58:26,394 --> 00:58:27,775
They can bring it.
1541
00:58:28,554 --> 00:58:29,295
Well, then.
1542
00:58:30,900 --> 00:58:31,799
Come on, motherfuckers.
1543
00:58:33,460 --> 00:58:35,880
Break everything you cursed in last podcast.
1544
00:58:36,900 --> 00:58:38,260
It was a hell of a run.
1545
00:58:38,260 --> 00:58:39,480
Hell of a run, Brent.
1546
00:58:39,859 --> 00:58:40,500
It was great.
1547
00:58:40,500 --> 00:58:41,460
Great 30 minutes.
1548
00:58:41,460 --> 00:58:42,019
Great job.
1549
00:58:42,019 --> 00:58:43,059
And we're gone.
1550
00:58:43,059 --> 00:58:43,380
Yeah.
1551
00:58:43,460 --> 00:58:44,099
Cinch them just.
1552
00:58:44,179 --> 00:58:44,839
But no.
1553
00:58:45,139 --> 00:58:45,880
Like Wilson?
1554
00:58:46,704 --> 00:58:47,204
Absolutely.
1555
00:58:47,505 --> 00:58:47,744
Right.
1556
00:58:47,744 --> 00:58:47,984
No.
1557
00:58:47,984 --> 00:58:50,304
I think, Matt, I think you're spot on.
1558
00:58:50,304 --> 00:58:56,804
I think, at the end of the day, this needs to
be an entertaining thing, and the problem is
1559
00:58:56,864 --> 00:58:59,309
it's the PGA Tour media that's gonna be
covering it.
1560
00:58:59,469 --> 00:59:00,530
Oh, it's so bad.
1561
00:59:00,829 --> 00:59:02,349
Don't even get me started, Brent.
1562
00:59:02,349 --> 00:59:03,070
Don't even get
1563
00:59:03,070 --> 00:59:03,550
me started.
1564
00:59:03,630 --> 00:59:04,449
Get you started.
1565
00:59:04,829 --> 00:59:08,289
I'm gonna get you started because I got a
little I got a little insight for you.
1566
00:59:08,510 --> 00:59:11,349
Between player promotions, I mean oh, yeah.
1567
00:59:11,469 --> 00:59:13,650
Just the it's so bad.
1568
00:59:14,144 --> 00:59:15,184
It's horrible.
1569
00:59:15,184 --> 00:59:20,945
Did you know that they have an entire group of
people, a dozen or so people, that are
1570
00:59:20,945 --> 00:59:24,164
dedicated to player sponsorship opportunities?
1571
00:59:25,585 --> 00:59:34,000
And you don't really see players getting those
opportunities unless they're in the top, you
1572
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:35,539
know, certain number of people.
1573
00:59:37,519 --> 00:59:38,079
That's all of it.
1574
00:59:38,159 --> 00:59:39,974
A lot of guys that are pretty good.
1575
00:59:39,974 --> 00:59:40,215
Right?
1576
00:59:40,215 --> 00:59:45,494
Which is why YouTube golf is doing so well
right now because personalities matter.
1577
00:59:45,494 --> 00:59:51,255
It's not just the top top guys, like, good
personalities that are on tour that might be
1578
00:59:51,335 --> 00:59:59,219
150th are good marketing opportunities and good
people to be sponsored or be an ambassador for
1579
00:59:59,219 --> 00:59:59,800
a brand.
1580
00:59:59,940 --> 01:00:00,420
Mhmm.
1581
01:00:00,420 --> 01:00:03,159
And a hundred times better than any YouTube
golfer.
1582
01:00:03,219 --> 01:00:03,539
Yeah.
1583
01:00:03,539 --> 01:00:04,039
Exactly.
1584
01:00:04,579 --> 01:00:05,559
That's the advantage.
1585
01:00:05,619 --> 01:00:12,785
And it's just like PGA Tour is kind of stuffing
everybody to the side and just trying to push
1586
01:00:13,485 --> 01:00:14,945
only the top guys.
1587
01:00:15,324 --> 01:00:18,144
And the one that I always go back to is the
UFC.
1588
01:00:18,364 --> 01:00:23,585
UFC does such a phenomenal job with promoting
new talent and guys with personalities.
1589
01:00:23,969 --> 01:00:24,849
That's what they tell them.
1590
01:00:24,849 --> 01:00:26,690
They're like, hey, you gotta have a
personality.
1591
01:00:26,690 --> 01:00:31,650
You gotta do some self-promotion, but you will
get a push if you do that.
1592
01:00:31,650 --> 01:00:32,949
Why do you think that is?
1593
01:00:33,409 --> 01:00:35,969
I mean, everybody's saying the same thing.
1594
01:00:36,050 --> 01:00:36,929
He does it or no.
1595
01:00:36,929 --> 01:00:38,505
Why the PGA Tour sucks at it?
1596
01:00:38,585 --> 01:00:40,045
Is it just that archaic?
1597
01:00:40,424 --> 01:00:41,944
Like, is it that old?
1598
01:00:41,944 --> 01:00:42,444
Like,
1599
01:00:42,744 --> 01:00:43,864
with that many old heads?
1600
01:00:43,864 --> 01:00:45,704
When it comes, well, no.
1601
01:00:45,704 --> 01:00:52,424
So what it comes to, that's it's actually way,
you know, like, not even in that realm.
1602
01:00:52,424 --> 01:00:56,900
It has nothing to do with the PGA Tour's
personality and the corporate structure at all.
1603
01:00:56,900 --> 01:01:02,420
It's the fact that they're trying to follow
what Finchem, Phil, and Tiger did.
1604
01:01:02,420 --> 01:01:02,820
Mhmm.
1605
01:01:02,820 --> 01:01:07,719
And the issue is that the decisions they are
making don't affect them.
1606
01:01:08,144 --> 01:01:08,304
Right?
1607
01:01:08,304 --> 01:01:10,085
They don't affect the corporate structure.
1608
01:01:10,385 --> 01:01:15,824
They could make the worst product on the planet
until SSG really steps in hard and says, okay.
1609
01:01:15,824 --> 01:01:18,244
You, you, and you, you're gone.
1610
01:01:19,344 --> 01:01:20,385
Nothing's gonna change.
1611
01:01:20,385 --> 01:01:23,849
And here's a little bit of an insider thing.
1612
01:01:24,170 --> 01:01:31,210
You'll never guess what Jay and Miss Baldwin
and her husband, what organization they all
1613
01:01:31,210 --> 01:01:31,869
came from.
1614
01:01:32,250 --> 01:01:33,309
You'll never guess.
1615
01:01:34,650 --> 01:01:35,550
Fenway Sports.
1616
01:01:36,809 --> 01:01:37,250
No kidding.
1617
01:01:37,250 --> 01:01:38,910
They all came from Fenway?
1618
01:01:39,485 --> 01:01:39,885
Yep.
1619
01:01:40,765 --> 01:01:44,864
All of them worked for SSG at one point or
another.
1620
01:01:45,164 --> 01:01:53,269
So there's not a group in the corporate
structure that says, oh, we just lost X
1621
01:01:53,269 --> 01:01:54,809
percentage of viewership.
1622
01:01:55,190 --> 01:01:56,710
What are we gonna do about that?
1623
01:01:56,710 --> 01:01:57,849
They just say, oops.
1624
01:01:58,150 --> 01:01:58,650
Sorry.
1625
01:01:58,789 --> 01:02:02,570
And make the FedEx Cup 75 instead of 100 or
125.
1626
01:02:03,269 --> 01:02:07,355
And then you get the Tour Championship, which
Scottie said it perfectly.
1627
01:02:07,355 --> 01:02:09,295
It's like, this is not a season-long event.
1628
01:02:09,434 --> 01:02:10,335
This is ridiculous.
1629
01:02:10,394 --> 01:02:10,635
Yeah.
1630
01:02:10,635 --> 01:02:15,914
Like, it's one thing that these 30 guys are
competing, and they have to drum up some
1631
01:02:15,914 --> 01:02:19,440
YouTube support just to get people to watch
because, otherwise, everybody goes, oh,
1632
01:02:19,599 --> 01:02:21,440
Scottie's got a multi-shot lead.
1633
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:22,179
It's over.
1634
01:02:22,559 --> 01:02:22,800
Yeah.
1635
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:23,039
And
1636
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:27,440
It's so funny that you mentioned that because
you put it in a way that I really haven't
1637
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:28,339
thought about before.
1638
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:33,585
I just kinda have seen the PGA Tour's media
group, and I'm like, they're a bunch of nerds.
1639
01:02:33,664 --> 01:02:36,724
But you put it in great context around the fact
that they're corporate.
1640
01:02:37,264 --> 01:02:38,224
And you're right.
1641
01:02:38,224 --> 01:02:42,625
Like, that's why I kinda look at them in that
manner to where they're just like they're like
1642
01:02:42,625 --> 01:02:44,065
a corporate marketing team.
1643
01:02:44,065 --> 01:02:44,385
Yeah.
1644
01:02:44,385 --> 01:02:47,730
Like, dicking off during the day, and then all
of a sudden they show up to an event.
1645
01:02:47,809 --> 01:02:48,690
They shoot a couple
1646
01:02:48,690 --> 01:02:49,250
of little
1647
01:02:49,530 --> 01:02:49,650
a load
1648
01:02:49,650 --> 01:02:50,289
of money.
1649
01:02:50,289 --> 01:02:50,789
Yeah.
1650
01:02:50,849 --> 01:02:52,130
And they got a ton of money.
1651
01:02:52,130 --> 01:02:57,730
They have a ton of the I mean, the platform
itself that they could really be promoting a
1652
01:02:57,730 --> 01:03:02,530
lot of people and really making the product
that much stronger because then all of a
1653
01:03:02,530 --> 01:03:08,585
sudden, when somebody wins who you're not
familiar with but everybody who follows golf
1654
01:03:08,585 --> 01:03:14,905
closely is like, this was only a matter of
time, then you actually have a fan base around
1655
01:03:14,905 --> 01:03:19,619
them and you're like, oh, you you lift them up
on that pedestal even further.
1656
01:03:19,619 --> 01:03:19,860
Yeah.
1657
01:03:19,860 --> 01:03:21,219
But that doesn't happen at all.
1658
01:03:21,219 --> 01:03:25,800
I mean, could you imagine they did not promote
Wyndham Clark at all?
1659
01:03:26,099 --> 01:03:29,159
Even with the story and everything until after
he won.
1660
01:03:29,235 --> 01:03:34,474
And even after he won for, like, a couple of
weeks, like, we train with the same trainer and
1661
01:03:34,474 --> 01:03:36,695
it was just, like, nothing.
1662
01:03:36,755 --> 01:03:37,795
There there was crickets.
1663
01:03:37,795 --> 01:03:39,394
By the way, Wyndham's great.
1664
01:03:39,394 --> 01:03:39,555
Yeah.
1665
01:03:39,555 --> 01:03:41,315
Well, that but, Matt, I think I think you know.
1666
01:03:41,315 --> 01:03:46,390
I mean, at the end of the day, what it all what
it all kinda comes down to is is the PGA Tour
1667
01:03:46,390 --> 01:03:53,190
believes that they can still have the Tiger
model and and get along, and they're not too
1668
01:03:53,190 --> 01:03:55,369
big to fail, not even remotely.
1669
01:03:56,789 --> 01:03:59,994
But they I mean, look at Scottie Scheffler.
1670
01:04:00,134 --> 01:04:00,375
Right?
1671
01:04:00,375 --> 01:04:07,335
You wouldn't know Scottie Scheffler even
existed if if if he wasn't winning the way he
1672
01:04:07,335 --> 01:04:07,994
was winning.
1673
01:04:08,375 --> 01:04:13,230
And the reason why he kinda goes about it very
quietly is because he doesn't really get into
1674
01:04:13,230 --> 01:04:17,070
anything anything with regards to the politics
or anything like that.
1675
01:04:17,070 --> 01:04:18,349
He says, you know, I'm a man of God.
1676
01:04:18,349 --> 01:04:20,449
I'm doing this for him, and that's it.
1677
01:04:20,829 --> 01:04:22,510
And that's great.
1678
01:04:22,510 --> 01:04:23,250
It's phenomenal.
1679
01:04:23,630 --> 01:04:25,514
But what else is there?
1680
01:04:25,594 --> 01:04:26,875
There's not there's nothing else.
1681
01:04:26,875 --> 01:04:32,234
The the fact that Collin Morikawa essentially
snuck under the radar and for all intents and
1682
01:04:32,234 --> 01:04:38,474
purposes won the Tour Championship, aside from
the false lead that Scottie had, that didn't
1683
01:04:38,474 --> 01:04:41,980
say that doesn't mean Scottie didn't play
great, but Collin dominated.
1684
01:04:42,119 --> 01:04:42,619
Yeah.
1685
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:42,920
Yeah.
1686
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:44,440
And you would never even know.
1687
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:46,539
Like, I'm I play golf for a living.
1688
01:04:47,319 --> 01:04:50,760
I thought Collin Morikawa didn't play well at
all this entire year.
1689
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:52,679
I didn't even know what he was doing.
1690
01:04:52,679 --> 01:04:57,074
See, and I was following it super close and,
like, I'm watching him.
1691
01:04:57,375 --> 01:04:59,875
I'm just like, he's in form right now.
1692
01:04:59,934 --> 01:05:02,434
And this kid is a stud when he's in form.
1693
01:05:02,574 --> 01:05:08,675
And he he started he he got a little tired
towards, like, the, the BMW.
1694
01:05:09,030 --> 01:05:14,489
He was tired and he lost a little bit of his
form, I think a week or 2 prior.
1695
01:05:15,269 --> 01:05:18,070
And all of a sudden, he's on the range working
on stuff.
1696
01:05:18,070 --> 01:05:23,525
And the PGA Tour finally, like, on social media
put a clip of him being like, oh, first guy on
1697
01:05:23,525 --> 01:05:24,585
the driving range.
1698
01:05:24,644 --> 01:05:26,484
It's just like, come on.
1699
01:05:26,484 --> 01:05:31,764
Like, that is not that promotion that you
should really be putting behind somebody like a
1700
01:05:31,764 --> 01:05:34,909
Collin Morikawa, who is an absolute stud.
1701
01:05:35,049 --> 01:05:39,609
I mean, coming out of college and winning the
PGA Championship up in San Fran.
1702
01:05:39,609 --> 01:05:40,730
I mean, come on.
1703
01:05:40,730 --> 01:05:47,210
Like, you really need to push and just don't
wait until that he's playing in Hawaii, which
1704
01:05:47,210 --> 01:05:47,769
it was funny.
1705
01:05:47,769 --> 01:05:51,824
I was on with Parker and we were talking about
guys from Hawaii.
1706
01:05:51,824 --> 01:05:52,625
And I'm like, oh, yeah.
1707
01:05:52,625 --> 01:05:53,684
Like Collin Morikawa.
1708
01:05:53,824 --> 01:05:54,305
He's like, no.
1709
01:05:54,305 --> 01:05:55,025
He's from LA.
1710
01:05:55,025 --> 01:05:55,985
And I'm like, oh, shit.
1711
01:05:55,985 --> 01:05:56,724
You're right.
1712
01:05:56,785 --> 01:06:02,559
But the PGA Tour pushed so hard to try to push
that narrative that it made me think that he
1713
01:06:02,559 --> 01:06:05,840
was from he's from La Cañada
1714
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:08,320
Is the viewership down though?
1715
01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:09,599
Like, year over year?
1716
01:06:09,599 --> 01:06:10,400
You know what I mean?
1717
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:10,800
It has
1718
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:11,199
to be.
1719
01:06:11,199 --> 01:06:11,599
Right?
1720
01:06:11,599 --> 01:06:12,079
So at
1721
01:06:12,079 --> 01:06:13,485
some point Yeah.
1722
01:06:13,805 --> 01:06:16,845
At some point, somebody's gonna have to do
something about that.
1723
01:06:16,845 --> 01:06:19,485
Like, they can't just keep doing it the way
they're doing it.
1724
01:06:19,485 --> 01:06:21,345
So because money will be affected.
1725
01:06:21,885 --> 01:06:22,125
Like
1726
01:06:22,204 --> 01:06:26,125
Just to just to kind of, you know, lay it flat
from my perspective.
1727
01:06:26,125 --> 01:06:32,469
I had a guy come to me last week and say I see
he showed up early on Sunday morning, and I
1728
01:06:32,469 --> 01:06:34,090
was, like, what are you doing here?
1729
01:06:34,309 --> 01:06:36,710
He had his whole crew out there, cameras, and
whatever.
1730
01:06:36,710 --> 01:06:39,610
I was, like, the important people don't tee off
for another five hours.
1731
01:06:40,070 --> 01:06:41,269
He's, like, well, you're important.
1732
01:06:41,269 --> 01:06:41,909
I go, no.
1733
01:06:41,909 --> 01:06:42,405
I'm not.
1734
01:06:42,485 --> 01:06:43,824
I go, to who?
1735
01:06:43,844 --> 01:06:46,344
He goes, our algorithm.
1736
01:06:46,965 --> 01:06:50,965
And that didn't really strike me at the time
until I, like, kind of looked in, you know,
1737
01:06:50,965 --> 01:06:55,204
until I was getting ready for this podcast, and
it was something that I didn't want to touch on
1738
01:06:55,204 --> 01:06:58,265
as if I'm important because I really don't
think I am.
1739
01:06:59,339 --> 01:07:01,500
But it's interesting that he said our
algorithm.
1740
01:07:01,500 --> 01:07:03,599
I haven't done anything in forever.
1741
01:07:03,980 --> 01:07:09,759
And they used my deck, you know, that double
fist bump, you know, lion roar that I put out
1742
01:07:09,819 --> 01:07:10,799
two years ago.
1743
01:07:11,259 --> 01:07:14,000
They used that video for an entire year.
1744
01:07:14,514 --> 01:07:20,375
And it's interesting that the Korn Ferry Tour
knows this guy who's essentially a contractor
1745
01:07:20,514 --> 01:07:22,695
knows what's important to the algorithm.
1746
01:07:22,994 --> 01:07:28,034
But when it comes to the PGA Tour, they're
gonna do whatever they want to do.
1747
01:07:28,034 --> 01:07:35,150
And the thing is, it's whoever is hot at the
moment, and they can't have enough of those
1748
01:07:35,150 --> 01:07:38,190
guys be hot all at the same time.
1749
01:07:38,429 --> 01:07:38,910
No.
1750
01:07:39,070 --> 01:07:40,910
Because it doesn't work that way.
1751
01:07:40,910 --> 01:07:42,289
We can't all shoot 64.
1752
01:07:42,910 --> 01:07:43,230
Right?
1753
01:07:43,230 --> 01:07:48,105
So if you had an actual legitimate wide net and
be like, okay.
1754
01:07:48,105 --> 01:07:52,025
What's going on in this guy's life and that
guy's life and what's going on behind the
1755
01:07:52,025 --> 01:07:57,385
scenes and let's make it a little SPC so these
guys can actually build their own brands like
1756
01:07:57,385 --> 01:08:02,389
they tell us to at orientation, by the way, and
they have a dozen or so people to help us out
1757
01:08:02,389 --> 01:08:02,710
with that.
1758
01:08:02,710 --> 01:08:04,489
Although, I never got a phone call.
1759
01:08:06,150 --> 01:08:10,869
They, you know, it's I'm good for the
algorithm, but apparently, you know, not for
1760
01:08:10,869 --> 01:08:11,670
the PGA Tour.
1761
01:08:11,670 --> 01:08:17,935
So they don't even go remotely into the things
that they need to go into.
1762
01:08:17,935 --> 01:08:21,935
And that's why, like, the the next swing or
whatever the hell thing Netflix was doing
1763
01:08:22,255 --> 01:08:22,815
Oh, yeah.
1764
01:08:23,135 --> 01:08:23,774
Full Swing.
1765
01:08:23,774 --> 01:08:25,055
Whatever Full Swing.
1766
01:08:25,055 --> 01:08:28,340
Like, everybody got to a point where they were
like, oh, it's cool.
1767
01:08:28,739 --> 01:08:30,899
Joel Dahmen is, like, this super cool guy.
1768
01:08:30,899 --> 01:08:34,500
And then, like, you dive into Joel, and you're
just kinda like yeah.
1769
01:08:34,500 --> 01:08:38,979
He just kinda cruises around and kind of a
bullshitter and kinda talks some shit every now
1770
01:08:38,979 --> 01:08:40,500
and then, and that's kinda it.
1771
01:08:40,500 --> 01:08:42,614
And oh, next.
1772
01:08:42,855 --> 01:08:43,175
Like, it's
1773
01:08:43,414 --> 01:08:46,775
But like you just said, none of that none of
that transferred over either.
1774
01:08:46,775 --> 01:08:47,735
They didn't pick that up.
1775
01:08:47,735 --> 01:08:47,975
No.
1776
01:08:47,975 --> 01:08:52,534
The tour didn't pick that up where all these
storylines were created and, like, let's
1777
01:08:52,534 --> 01:08:53,335
check-in now.
1778
01:08:53,335 --> 01:08:55,815
We already have they already did all this
fucking work for us.
1779
01:08:55,815 --> 01:08:59,220
Like, let's check-in on these guys now and it
just died.
1780
01:08:59,360 --> 01:08:59,600
Yeah.
1781
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:02,000
All that personality and all that shit died.
1782
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:08,560
But like I said, that's fine and maybe we can't
come up with a why, but this is not gonna last
1783
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:09,060
forever.
1784
01:09:09,074 --> 01:09:10,275
They're gonna have to make a change.
1785
01:09:10,275 --> 01:09:10,675
That's why
1786
01:09:10,675 --> 01:09:12,775
I asked getting billions of dollars.
1787
01:09:12,835 --> 01:09:17,074
Well, the sponsors aren't gonna pay that much
money if they're not getting their money's
1788
01:09:17,074 --> 01:09:17,574
worth.
1789
01:09:17,954 --> 01:09:22,229
So at some point, somebody's gonna have to sit
down in a boardroom and go, okay.
1790
01:09:22,229 --> 01:09:25,750
We need to—other people are smoking us in this
sector.
1791
01:09:25,750 --> 01:09:27,289
We need to make changes.
1792
01:09:28,069 --> 01:09:30,229
YouTube is smoking us in this section.
1793
01:09:30,229 --> 01:09:31,110
That's crazy.
1794
01:09:31,350 --> 01:09:31,510
That.
1795
01:09:31,510 --> 01:09:32,310
And that's still really.
1796
01:09:32,390 --> 01:09:34,229
Grant, what what's that guy's name?
1797
01:09:34,229 --> 01:09:35,449
Grant Horvat.
1798
01:09:35,510 --> 01:09:35,925
Yeah.
1799
01:09:36,085 --> 01:09:37,604
We're talking about him right now.
1800
01:09:37,604 --> 01:09:37,844
Right?
1801
01:09:37,844 --> 01:09:38,085
Look.
1802
01:09:38,085 --> 01:09:38,804
I mean, look.
1803
01:09:38,804 --> 01:09:39,045
So.
1804
01:09:39,524 --> 01:09:40,404
I mean, exactly.
1805
01:09:40,404 --> 01:09:44,664
He gets paid, like, a quarter million dollars a
post or whatever it is, like, some ridiculous
1806
01:09:44,804 --> 01:09:45,304
number.
1807
01:09:45,444 --> 01:09:51,770
And it's, like, I've gotta go and basically
panhandle my way through cigar rooms and
1808
01:09:51,770 --> 01:09:54,270
pro-ams to be like, oh, $10, please.
1809
01:09:55,130 --> 01:09:56,350
Like, it's ridiculous.
1810
01:09:56,489 --> 01:10:00,170
Like that is like, but see and I put up a video
and it's like, holy shit.
1811
01:10:00,170 --> 01:10:00,890
That was awesome.
1812
01:10:00,890 --> 01:10:02,430
Let's let's keep doing that.
1813
01:10:02,489 --> 01:10:07,024
I would rather do that than do what I've done
for the last six or seven years.
1814
01:10:07,024 --> 01:10:08,484
Like, it's it's that ridiculous.
1815
01:10:08,625 --> 01:10:13,765
Well, there's gonna be that potential because
we're moving in that direction too.
1816
01:10:13,984 --> 01:10:19,425
I mean, we've seen the success on YouTube, and
it's not we're just like there's nothing like
1817
01:10:19,425 --> 01:10:24,039
our content on YouTube on the golf course right
now.
1818
01:10:24,039 --> 01:10:29,239
It's all this, like, funny, like, oh, we're
good good.
1819
01:10:29,239 --> 01:10:29,479
We're.
1820
01:10:29,719 --> 01:10:33,000
I've called it I've called it the same thing
for years now.
1821
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:33,159
Yeah.
1822
01:10:33,159 --> 01:10:35,639
It's it's like watching Nickelodeon of golf.
1823
01:10:35,639 --> 01:10:35,984
Yeah.
1824
01:10:36,225 --> 01:10:36,425
It's this.
1825
01:10:36,425 --> 01:10:37,904
thing bring the real stuff.
1826
01:10:37,904 --> 01:10:38,304
Yeah.
1827
01:10:38,304 --> 01:10:39,264
It's a Well, we.
1828
01:10:39,264 --> 01:10:39,744
we So.
1829
01:10:39,744 --> 01:10:40,944
if you want to join in.
1830
01:10:41,185 --> 01:10:41,764
Go ahead.
1831
01:10:41,984 --> 01:10:44,484
If you wanna join in, I've got good buddies of
mine.
1832
01:10:45,104 --> 01:10:49,797
I've got good buddies of mine that were, you
know, really good Korn Ferry Tour players.
1833
01:10:49,797 --> 01:10:53,719
Are we getting a little disorganized over
there?
1834
01:10:53,719 --> 01:10:54,199
No, God.
1835
01:10:54,199 --> 01:10:54,599
No.
1836
01:10:54,599 --> 01:10:55,420
Sugar shakes?
1837
01:10:55,639 --> 01:10:56,139
Yeah.
1838
01:10:57,079 --> 01:11:02,679
But, I've got buddies of mine that are great
personalities and phenomenal people, and
1839
01:11:02,679 --> 01:11:07,045
they're great players, but can't crack an egg
on YouTube because they decide to kinda get
1840
01:11:07,045 --> 01:11:08,344
into the PC stuff.
1841
01:11:08,404 --> 01:11:11,125
And that's something I'll say it first.
1842
01:11:11,125 --> 01:11:12,724
And by the way, for Trot Golf, no.
1843
01:11:12,724 --> 01:11:14,425
I don't get into final stage.
1844
01:11:15,045 --> 01:11:16,505
I get into second stage.
1845
01:11:17,284 --> 01:11:24,859
But Buttsy and I are gonna kinda start
something at some point, and it's gonna be an
1846
01:11:24,859 --> 01:11:25,760
all-out extravaganza.
1847
01:11:26,139 --> 01:11:29,420
And Kyle's right there, Kyle's right there too.
1848
01:11:29,979 --> 01:11:33,555
We've been bringing the real stuff for some
time now.
1849
01:11:34,435 --> 01:11:35,175
Oh, my gosh.
1850
01:11:35,555 --> 01:11:36,055
Yeah.
1851
01:11:36,195 --> 01:11:36,515
Yeah.
1852
01:11:36,515 --> 01:11:36,755
No.
1853
01:11:36,755 --> 01:11:37,574
That's valid.
1854
01:11:38,354 --> 01:11:46,614
It's gotta be done right, and it's gotta be
organized, but it cannot be PC.
1855
01:11:46,994 --> 01:11:48,223
So I think there's a way.
1856
01:11:48,356 --> 01:11:48,649
won't be.
1857
01:11:48,810 --> 01:11:49,789
There's a way.
1858
01:11:51,289 --> 01:11:51,770
Yeah.
1859
01:11:51,770 --> 01:11:52,810
Ideas aplenty.
1860
01:11:52,810 --> 01:11:53,949
We'll put it that way.
1861
01:11:54,090 --> 01:11:54,969
Little features.
1862
01:11:54,969 --> 01:11:55,609
It's coming.
1863
01:11:55,609 --> 01:11:56,829
It's coming, folks.
1864
01:11:57,210 --> 01:12:03,994
So just be on the lookout because when it drops
and when we start doing this, it's gonna be
1865
01:12:03,994 --> 01:12:04,494
something.
1866
01:12:04,715 --> 01:12:07,935
And I mean, this might get posted on Rumble.
1867
01:12:08,954 --> 01:12:10,474
I mean, Rumble's kind
1868
01:12:10,474 --> 01:12:12,234
of the Patriot all the way.
1869
01:12:12,234 --> 01:12:13,594
Well, all
1870
01:12:13,594 --> 01:12:13,755
the way.
1871
01:12:13,755 --> 01:12:14,074
You guys
1872
01:12:14,074 --> 01:12:15,215
know what Rumble is?
1873
01:12:17,914 --> 01:12:18,414
Not
1874
01:12:19,109 --> 01:12:19,829
not joking.
1875
01:12:19,829 --> 01:12:20,810
You're not joking.
1876
01:12:20,949 --> 01:12:21,590
Not joking.
1877
01:12:21,590 --> 01:12:22,969
I couldn't tell you.
1878
01:12:23,189 --> 01:12:24,250
I couldn't tell you.
1879
01:12:25,189 --> 01:12:26,250
Oh, gosh.
1880
01:12:26,310 --> 01:12:29,989
But, Matt, let's, I think I think what are we,
what are we on?
1881
01:12:29,989 --> 01:12:30,949
An hour plus here?
1882
01:12:30,949 --> 01:12:33,965
I feel like I've rambled on too long.
1883
01:12:33,965 --> 01:12:36,685
I feel like there's organization that screwed
up here.
1884
01:12:36,685 --> 01:12:36,925
No.
1885
01:12:36,925 --> 01:12:38,284
You've done pretty damn well.
1886
01:12:38,284 --> 01:12:44,145
I mean, we got in we got a little sidetracked
with the PGA's media side and promotions.
1887
01:12:44,444 --> 01:12:47,190
But, I mean, we were talking about the U.S.
1888
01:12:47,190 --> 01:12:48,810
team, the international team.
1889
01:12:48,949 --> 01:12:53,510
We were trying to really justify the fact of
our feelings that we're hoping that the
1890
01:12:53,510 --> 01:12:57,510
international team is competitive because I
think that's what everybody wants to see.
1891
01:12:57,510 --> 01:13:03,515
Even if you're rooting for Team USA, you really
want the international team to be competitive.
1892
01:13:03,735 --> 01:13:05,414
And I think that's gonna bring excitement.
1893
01:13:05,414 --> 01:13:06,715
It's gonna bring drama.
1894
01:13:07,175 --> 01:13:12,614
And that is what the golf course hopefully is
also going to bring because they grew out that
1895
01:13:12,614 --> 01:13:12,935
rough.
1896
01:13:12,935 --> 01:13:16,619
I don't know if you have seen, but the rough is
nice and juicy.
1897
01:13:17,479 --> 01:13:19,100
The greens were very firm.
1898
01:13:19,319 --> 01:13:26,220
However, they are going to get some rain coming
up tomorrow, I believe, and also potentially
1899
01:13:26,359 --> 01:13:26,840
Thursday.
1900
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:28,244
So it's gonna soften up.
1901
01:13:28,324 --> 01:13:34,345
So it's gonna be driver accuracy, and then guys
are gonna be hitting wedges.
1902
01:13:34,405 --> 01:13:40,244
So it's gonna be how much can you control your
spin of your wedges, and can you drop some
1903
01:13:40,244 --> 01:13:40,619
putts?
1904
01:13:40,780 --> 01:13:45,180
And I think that kind of favors the
international side a little bit, but we shall
1905
01:13:45,180 --> 01:13:45,680
see.
1906
01:13:46,300 --> 01:13:47,680
Let's get into some predictions.
1907
01:13:47,820 --> 01:13:49,979
So, Brent, let's start with you.
1908
01:13:49,979 --> 01:13:50,479
Sure.
1909
01:13:50,939 --> 01:13:53,039
New tour insider here with us.
1910
01:13:53,814 --> 01:13:56,715
Who do you have taking the cup?
1911
01:13:57,814 --> 01:13:58,534
Oh, man.
1912
01:13:58,534 --> 01:14:04,135
You know, I again, I said, you know, I think
it's it's gonna be the U.S.
1913
01:14:04,135 --> 01:14:04,635
team.
1914
01:14:04,934 --> 01:14:06,534
He's gonna take my answer, though.
1915
01:14:06,534 --> 01:14:07,170
I know it.
1916
01:14:07,649 --> 01:14:08,149
Go
1917
01:14:08,449 --> 01:14:08,770
ahead.
1918
01:14:08,770 --> 01:14:09,810
Well, you know, it's fine.
1919
01:14:09,810 --> 01:14:11,729
We we do think alike for a reason.
1920
01:14:11,729 --> 01:14:12,469
Go ahead.
1921
01:14:12,689 --> 01:14:13,329
Go ahead.
1922
01:14:13,329 --> 01:14:14,630
It's fine.
1923
01:14:14,689 --> 01:14:15,729
Everything's fine.
1924
01:14:15,729 --> 01:14:17,189
We're in the now right now.
1925
01:14:17,890 --> 01:14:19,170
But U.S.
1926
01:14:19,170 --> 01:14:25,045
team captain Jim Furyk, it's hard to think that
he won't get those boys fired up.
1927
01:14:25,265 --> 01:14:30,164
And I think what it's gonna end up being is
they're probably gonna take the cups somewhere
1928
01:14:30,225 --> 01:14:34,590
around midway through Sunday with five or six
matches left.
1929
01:14:35,550 --> 01:14:41,550
And the only way that doesn't happen again is
if, you know, those bottom six, seven, eight
1930
01:14:41,550 --> 01:14:48,645
players for the—I almost said European team—the
international team decides that they're gonna
1931
01:14:48,645 --> 01:14:51,145
kinda get their asses in gear and get it done.
1932
01:14:51,284 --> 01:14:56,484
As long as Jason Day doesn't distract everybody
with his Melbourne golf-wearing attire.
1933
01:14:57,524 --> 01:15:00,024
Is he gonna have international Melbourne?
1934
01:15:00,779 --> 01:15:01,420
Oh, God.
1935
01:15:02,139 --> 01:15:03,279
That's a good question.
1936
01:15:03,579 --> 01:15:04,960
Normally, they get it provided.
1937
01:15:05,420 --> 01:15:06,639
So I don't think so.
1938
01:15:06,939 --> 01:15:07,819
But hopefully not by now.
1939
01:15:07,899 --> 01:15:08,539
That's a good point.
1940
01:15:08,539 --> 01:15:09,599
That's a good point.
1941
01:15:09,599 --> 01:15:12,219
Buttsy, who you come?
1942
01:15:12,219 --> 01:15:13,020
Is it my turn?
1943
01:15:13,020 --> 01:15:13,899
It's your turn.
1944
01:15:13,899 --> 01:15:14,295
Okay.
1945
01:15:17,335 --> 01:15:17,895
Roll there.
1946
01:15:17,895 --> 01:15:19,515
You're being so, so polite.
1947
01:15:19,654 --> 01:15:20,954
Am I allowed to talk?
1948
01:15:21,414 --> 01:15:22,694
You got your hands curled.
1949
01:15:22,694 --> 01:15:23,994
It's because he's not hammered.
1950
01:15:24,135 --> 01:15:25,175
He's like, well,
1951
01:15:25,175 --> 01:15:27,414
I'm actually just gonna be honest with you
guys.
1952
01:15:27,414 --> 01:15:32,050
I've been sitting over here just nursing one
hell of a stomachache for about 20 minutes now.
1953
01:15:32,050 --> 01:15:41,010
And, as to I've been back and forth really not
hearing much of what you guys said, and
1954
01:15:41,010 --> 01:15:44,114
contemplating whether or not it's appropriate
to get up.
1955
01:15:44,275 --> 01:15:45,555
And should I have to pee?
1956
01:15:45,555 --> 01:15:51,875
But if I go pee, is this gonna turn into what I
think it might turn into that show?
1957
01:15:51,875 --> 01:15:53,395
So I'm just getting on just a little insight.
1958
01:15:53,395 --> 01:15:55,635
That's what I've been doing for the last half
hour.
1959
01:15:55,635 --> 01:15:58,399
It's just really having an internal battle
here.
1960
01:15:58,659 --> 01:15:59,159
Literally.
1961
01:15:59,420 --> 01:16:00,399
But I feel better.
1962
01:16:00,699 --> 01:16:01,199
Yeah.
1963
01:16:01,659 --> 01:16:03,260
That's why I keep looking at the screen.
1964
01:16:03,260 --> 01:16:04,140
I'm like, oh my God.
1965
01:16:04,140 --> 01:16:07,359
My cheeks went from beet red, blood pressure
through the roof.
1966
01:16:07,420 --> 01:16:08,159
To white.
1967
01:16:08,219 --> 01:16:08,539
To hell.
1968
01:16:08,539 --> 01:16:09,219
So I'm okay.
1969
01:16:09,219 --> 01:16:09,819
I just
1970
01:16:09,819 --> 01:16:10,779
thought I'm seeing it.
1971
01:16:10,779 --> 01:16:12,585
Well, I've been just like, mhmm, yeah.
1972
01:16:12,585 --> 01:16:14,284
And just breathing really slowly.
1973
01:16:15,784 --> 01:16:20,985
I think our top guys are gonna get it done, and
I think the rest of the team is gonna shit the
1974
01:16:20,985 --> 01:16:24,685
bed, and it's gonna be a lot closer than you
guys think.
1975
01:16:25,609 --> 01:16:27,069
So we we may lose.
1976
01:16:27,689 --> 01:16:28,189
Yeah.
1977
01:16:28,489 --> 01:16:28,649
Mhmm.
1978
01:16:28,649 --> 01:16:28,970
So now
1979
01:16:29,289 --> 01:16:29,770
Wow.
1980
01:16:29,770 --> 01:16:31,930
I'll put $20 as we we we win.
1981
01:16:31,930 --> 01:16:32,250
Wow.
1982
01:16:32,250 --> 01:16:32,750
Okay.
1983
01:16:32,810 --> 01:16:35,689
I'm I'm I'm in between both of you right now.
1984
01:16:35,689 --> 01:16:37,609
I'm going to say and that sounded weird.
1985
01:16:37,609 --> 01:16:41,814
Didn't sound right, but I'm in between both of
you right now in terms of your picks.
1986
01:16:41,814 --> 01:16:43,354
Hell of a big and slim sandwich.
1987
01:16:43,655 --> 01:16:44,055
Yeah.
1988
01:16:44,055 --> 01:16:44,795
It's tough.
1989
01:16:44,854 --> 01:16:49,255
It's it's it's a tough look over here for me
right now, especially with all the P.
1990
01:16:49,255 --> 01:16:51,175
Diddy.
1991
01:16:51,175 --> 01:16:53,310
Can you believe 1,000 baby oils?
1992
01:16:53,949 --> 01:16:55,550
1,000 bottles of baby oil.
1993
01:16:55,550 --> 01:16:56,449
That's unreal.
1994
01:16:56,510 --> 01:16:57,229
For what?
1995
01:16:57,229 --> 01:16:58,670
For his freak for
1996
01:16:58,670 --> 01:16:59,890
his freak out parties.
1997
01:16:59,949 --> 01:17:00,909
Oh, it just Oh,
1998
01:17:00,909 --> 01:17:01,630
he he got,
1999
01:17:01,789 --> 01:17:03,010
that's that's low.
2000
01:17:03,229 --> 01:17:04,850
He got raided by the FBI.
2001
01:17:05,390 --> 01:17:10,185
He is, the hip-hop music world's, Epstein.
2002
01:17:10,965 --> 01:17:11,465
Yeah.
2003
01:17:11,765 --> 01:17:13,765
I just well, I just heard a little side thing.
2004
01:17:13,925 --> 01:17:20,185
He's refusing to eat in jail because he thinks
that he may be poisoned.
2005
01:17:20,404 --> 01:17:20,564
You
2006
01:17:20,564 --> 01:17:21,444
hate to see it.
2007
01:17:21,444 --> 01:17:22,244
I hate to see it.
2008
01:17:22,244 --> 01:17:22,590
Yeah.
2009
01:17:22,670 --> 01:17:23,569
It's probably not wrong.
2010
01:17:23,710 --> 01:17:28,369
So anyways, getting back to my pick, I'm gonna
say that it's close.
2011
01:17:29,550 --> 01:17:31,569
It's gonna come down to the final two matches.
2012
01:17:32,029 --> 01:17:35,550
And the reason why is because I think Homa is
gonna be a liability.
2013
01:17:35,550 --> 01:17:37,489
I think Brian Harman's gonna be a liability.
2014
01:17:37,795 --> 01:17:41,875
And I actually like what you were saying,
Brent, with the fact that Sam Burns could
2015
01:17:41,875 --> 01:17:43,734
potentially be a liability too.
2016
01:17:43,875 --> 01:17:47,314
So with that, I am gonna say that the U.S.
2017
01:17:47,314 --> 01:17:49,014
wins by two points.
2018
01:17:49,474 --> 01:17:52,755
See, you got it close, but still clinching the
dub.
2019
01:17:52,755 --> 01:17:53,130
Yeah.
2020
01:17:53,289 --> 01:17:54,649
Even if those guys fall off.
2021
01:17:54,729 --> 01:17:56,329
Because of how strong that U.S.
2022
01:17:56,329 --> 01:17:57,050
team is.
2023
01:17:57,050 --> 01:17:58,090
But I want the drama.
2024
01:17:58,090 --> 01:18:02,969
I want there to actually be something for next
week that we can sit here and be like, holy
2025
01:18:02,969 --> 01:18:03,449
shit.
2026
01:18:03,449 --> 01:18:08,024
Did you see Si Woo Kim yelling out, "I play
your champ, bro," shushing the crowd.
2027
01:18:08,024 --> 01:18:08,904
Like, that would be great.
2028
01:18:08,904 --> 01:18:09,784
We wanna see it.
2029
01:18:09,784 --> 01:18:11,404
He fucking shushed the crowd.
2030
01:18:11,704 --> 01:18:13,465
Like, he almost picked his nose.
2031
01:18:13,465 --> 01:18:14,425
He did it so hard.
2032
01:18:14,425 --> 01:18:16,265
What do you think he's gonna do in Canada?
2033
01:18:16,265 --> 01:18:17,725
He's gonna shush them?
2034
01:18:18,344 --> 01:18:19,305
Like, I think I
2035
01:18:19,704 --> 01:18:20,824
get what you're trying to do.
2036
01:18:20,824 --> 01:18:21,725
with these guys.
2037
01:18:22,609 --> 01:18:29,430
I think these guys will literally walk out with
1 massive South Korean flag, all of these guys.
2038
01:18:29,649 --> 01:18:37,005
I think we've got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5 Korean
players, unless, I mean, you take out Min Woo
2039
01:18:37,005 --> 01:18:37,364
League.
2040
01:18:37,364 --> 01:18:37,685
They should.
2041
01:18:37,685 --> 01:18:44,664
Well, Min Woo technically is though because
well the whole reason they sent him over to
2042
01:18:45,364 --> 01:18:51,179
Australia, that whole story is wild, just so
that he wouldn't have to do the mandatory
2043
01:18:52,039 --> 01:18:53,079
military service,
2044
01:18:53,079 --> 01:18:53,960
which is they should all
2045
01:18:54,119 --> 01:18:54,840
They knew.
2046
01:18:54,920 --> 01:19:00,439
They should all roll up to the driving range on
those little, like, motorized bicycles with the
2047
01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:03,260
baskets on them, like everybody rides over
there.
2048
01:19:03,445 --> 01:19:04,164
Like, they should all
2049
01:19:04,645 --> 01:19:05,125
Right.
2050
01:19:05,125 --> 01:19:05,625
Absolutely.
2051
01:19:07,045 --> 01:19:07,284
Yeah.
2052
01:19:07,284 --> 01:19:09,064
But, actually, Wicked Witch of the West.
2053
01:19:09,125 --> 01:19:10,485
It's like three guys on the back.
2054
01:19:10,485 --> 01:19:13,125
I think, Matt, I think you might have something
there.
2055
01:19:13,125 --> 01:19:18,199
I think these guys know that there's nothing to
lose, and they can just play their hearts out.
2056
01:19:18,199 --> 01:19:20,939
They've probably been preparing on that golf
course all year.
2057
01:19:21,319 --> 01:19:23,399
And, Mike knows what he's doing, man.
2058
01:19:23,399 --> 01:19:26,680
He's a great guy and a great, great champion.
2059
01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:27,960
So what what's the odds?
2060
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:28,920
Do we know the odds?
2061
01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:30,600
No no odds for this one.
2062
01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:30,840
Yeah.
2063
01:19:30,840 --> 01:19:31,185
No.
2064
01:19:31,265 --> 01:19:31,585
No.
2065
01:19:31,585 --> 01:19:33,925
Like, total, like, US versus the like,
2066
01:19:34,225 --> 01:19:34,344
no.
2067
01:19:34,465 --> 01:19:35,284
Look it up.
2068
01:19:35,905 --> 01:19:36,465
I know.
2069
01:19:36,465 --> 01:19:42,864
Technically, technically, that's one of the
things that, we could talk about this next week
2070
01:19:42,864 --> 01:19:49,140
maybe, but, the betting in golf and the PGA
Tour's relationship with some of these
2071
01:19:50,079 --> 01:19:51,520
organizations and how that
2072
01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:52,239
Oh.
2073
01:19:52,239 --> 01:19:52,479
Yeah.
2074
01:19:52,479 --> 01:19:55,280
Let's let's say let's put that in a sack and
save it.
2075
01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:57,699
That's gonna be a nice little segment for next
week.
2076
01:19:58,000 --> 01:19:58,500
Yeah.
2077
01:19:59,125 --> 01:19:59,844
Very good.
2078
01:19:59,844 --> 01:20:03,045
Did you just say let's put that into a nice
little sandwich and save it for next week?
2079
01:20:03,045 --> 01:20:04,484
I said let's put it in a sack.
2080
01:20:04,484 --> 01:20:05,284
Oh, in a sack.
2081
01:20:05,284 --> 01:20:06,005
Let's save it.
2082
01:20:06,005 --> 01:20:06,824
A sandwich.
2083
01:20:07,444 --> 01:20:08,164
I'm not damn.
2084
01:20:08,164 --> 01:20:08,885
I'm not that
2085
01:20:08,885 --> 01:20:09,684
fucking old, dude.
2086
01:20:09,764 --> 01:20:10,404
Said a word.
2087
01:20:10,404 --> 01:20:11,145
My god.
2088
01:20:11,819 --> 01:20:12,060
Oh, man.
2089
01:20:12,060 --> 01:20:12,380
I figured, you know,
2090
01:20:12,380 --> 01:20:13,500
I thought you'd probably
2091
01:20:13,500 --> 01:20:14,060
say sandwich.
2092
01:20:14,060 --> 01:20:25,375
Just, you know, profiling and all.
2093
01:20:25,375 --> 01:20:27,414
I need some of those keto chicken things you
2094
01:20:27,414 --> 01:20:28,234
get, puppy.
2095
01:20:30,135 --> 01:20:30,534
Oh, shit.
2096
01:20:30,534 --> 01:20:31,354
I just got
2097
01:20:31,494 --> 01:20:33,675
profiled by my podcast partner.
2098
01:20:34,614 --> 01:20:35,194
Oh, yeah.
2099
01:20:35,414 --> 01:20:36,395
How's it feel?
2100
01:20:36,454 --> 01:20:37,095
I liked it.
2101
01:20:37,095 --> 01:20:37,494
You know?
2102
01:20:37,494 --> 01:20:38,774
You're not fucking wrong.
2103
01:20:38,774 --> 01:20:39,649
Let's be honest.
2104
01:20:39,649 --> 01:20:39,729
Yeah.
2105
01:20:39,729 --> 01:20:40,730
I've called it.
2106
01:20:40,730 --> 01:20:44,289
You know, two weeks ago, he called himself a
whale without calling himself a whale.
2107
01:20:44,289 --> 01:20:44,850
So, you know
2108
01:20:45,090 --> 01:20:47,649
Tonight, he referred to he had the hole.
2109
01:20:47,649 --> 01:20:48,689
He was doing the noises.
2110
01:20:48,689 --> 01:20:49,250
The blowhole.
2111
01:20:49,250 --> 01:20:49,409
The
2112
01:20:50,369 --> 01:20:50,530
No.
2113
01:20:50,530 --> 01:20:50,930
That's right.
2114
01:20:50,930 --> 01:20:51,670
The Titanic.
2115
01:20:51,729 --> 01:20:52,130
You know?
2116
01:20:52,130 --> 01:20:52,449
That blow
2117
01:20:52,449 --> 01:20:52,770
the mic?
2118
01:20:52,770 --> 01:20:54,229
He would survive the Titanic.
2119
01:20:54,944 --> 01:20:55,425
Yeah.
2120
01:20:55,425 --> 01:20:56,944
My eardrums blew out.
2121
01:20:56,944 --> 01:20:57,444
Yeah.
2122
01:20:57,505 --> 01:20:58,324
Mine too.
2123
01:20:59,744 --> 01:21:00,844
Oh, dude.
2124
01:21:00,944 --> 01:21:03,824
And that concludes it, folks.
2125
01:21:03,824 --> 01:21:09,489
I mean, once again, we gotta end on a great
note, which is Buttsy's whale noises when he
2126
01:21:09,489 --> 01:21:11,170
does the blowhole noise.
2127
01:21:11,170 --> 01:21:12,130
So yeah.
2128
01:21:12,130 --> 01:21:12,609
Oh, wow.
2129
01:21:12,609 --> 01:21:13,670
That was pretty good.
2130
01:21:14,289 --> 01:21:15,109
Oh my god.
2131
01:21:15,569 --> 01:21:17,489
I thought there was a real whale in the room.
2132
01:21:17,489 --> 01:21:17,889
Right?
2133
01:21:17,889 --> 01:21:18,949
Fucking crazy.
2134
01:21:19,090 --> 01:21:22,850
Do you imagine we should recreate that Free
Willy scene where you're, like, out on the dock
2135
01:21:22,850 --> 01:21:24,104
and I jump over a little.
2136
01:21:24,185 --> 01:21:27,244
That'll be our first that'll be our first
YouTube special.
2137
01:21:27,465 --> 01:21:28,104
Oh, man.
2138
01:21:28,104 --> 01:21:28,765
Right there.
2139
01:21:28,984 --> 01:21:32,685
Jump over the rock bridge back into the real
ocean to be with my family.
2140
01:21:33,305 --> 01:21:33,805
Fantastic.
2141
01:21:34,024 --> 01:21:38,744
Right over that dinosaur line on Troon, you
know, the rock right in the middle of that
2142
01:21:38,744 --> 01:21:39,244
park.
2143
01:21:40,550 --> 01:21:40,710
You
2144
01:21:40,710 --> 01:21:41,770
know, it's good.
2145
01:21:41,989 --> 01:21:45,989
Well, we're gonna have to break some bread and
get out there and play some golf next time
2146
01:21:45,989 --> 01:21:46,869
you're out here, Brent.
2147
01:21:46,869 --> 01:21:47,350
Absolutely.
2148
01:21:47,350 --> 01:21:47,750
I'm in.
2149
01:21:47,750 --> 01:21:52,310
That being said, folks, Brent, great great
first show for you.
2150
01:21:52,310 --> 01:21:52,630
Yeah.
2151
01:21:52,630 --> 01:21:53,670
Absolutely great show.
2152
01:21:53,670 --> 01:21:55,050
You fit in like a glove.
2153
01:21:56,795 --> 01:22:01,595
Well, you know, it's just, you know, I wake up
and I just piss excellence and nobody can touch
2154
01:22:01,595 --> 01:22:02,074
my stuff.
2155
01:22:02,074 --> 01:22:02,475
So
2156
01:22:02,875 --> 01:22:03,755
That's valid.
2157
01:22:03,755 --> 01:22:05,055
I I see it firsthand.
2158
01:22:05,595 --> 01:22:06,414
It was phenomenal.
2159
01:22:06,715 --> 01:22:07,658
His reputation precedes him.
2160
01:22:07,658 --> 01:22:08,529
He is the Rick's him.
2161
01:22:08,529 --> 01:22:09,770
He is the Rick's boss.
2162
01:22:09,770 --> 01:22:10,547
I mean, shit.
2163
01:22:10,547 --> 01:22:11,113
I played golf with Buttsy.
2164
01:22:11,113 --> 01:22:11,369
I think the
2165
01:22:11,369 --> 01:22:11,712
day after, Brent was
2166
01:22:11,712 --> 01:22:13,590
playing up at Chaparral Pines.
2167
01:22:14,050 --> 01:22:14,550
Yeah.
2168
01:22:14,609 --> 01:22:15,969
And sure enough, Buttsy couldn't
2169
01:22:15,969 --> 01:22:16,289
talk enough about
2170
01:22:16,289 --> 01:22:16,789
you.
2171
01:22:20,554 --> 01:22:21,835
So, yeah.
2172
01:22:21,835 --> 01:22:22,335
Yeah.
2173
01:22:22,395 --> 01:22:22,954
Here we are.
2174
01:22:22,954 --> 01:22:24,715
I think anytime, anywhere I'm there.
2175
01:22:24,715 --> 01:22:25,835
Let's do it.
2176
01:22:25,835 --> 01:22:26,475
Love that.
2177
01:22:26,475 --> 01:22:28,715
So let's wrap this one up, folks.
2178
01:22:28,954 --> 01:22:31,194
Once again, we got the Presidents Cup.
2179
01:22:31,194 --> 01:22:36,710
That is the main event this week in case you
didn't know because it's not promoted that
2180
01:22:36,710 --> 01:22:37,210
heavily.
2181
01:22:37,270 --> 01:22:40,949
So we're gonna let you know, and it's gonna be
a great one.
2182
01:22:40,949 --> 01:22:44,729
Hopefully, the international team with the
strongest roster that they've possibly had
2183
01:22:44,789 --> 01:22:48,765
could potentially upset the United States of
America, but I doubt it.
2184
01:22:48,845 --> 01:22:51,985
I am hopeful for a drama-filled matchup there.
2185
01:22:52,204 --> 01:22:57,585
And, without further ado, we do want to give a
final shoutout to our sponsor, Swannies Golf.

else, peace

2196

Later, boys.

Hang on.
2198
01:23:24,567 --> 01:23:26,351
So, Brent, hang on for
