70 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,659 I did come from an influencer event. 71 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,925 I think cool is a very relative word in that case. 72 00:03:35,784 --> 00:03:37,004 People don't get it. 73 00:03:37,944 --> 00:03:38,344 Yeah.
74 00:03:38,344 --> 00:03:44,344 It's, you know, and I'm probably been guilty of this in the past myself, especially when I 75 00:03:44,344 --> 00:03:52,199 first started doing social media, but this is just a cesspool of influencers that don't know 76 00:03:52,199 --> 00:03:57,759 one another, that act like they know one another, and just suck on each other all day, 77 00:03:58,199 --> 00:04:04,375 sharing stories and getting in videos and collabing and basically just trying to, like, 78 00:04:04,594 --> 00:04:06,194 pawn each other's follow—I don't know. 79 00:04:06,194 --> 00:04:08,294 Like, like, siphon each other's followers. 80 00:04:08,435 --> 00:04:08,754 Right? 81 00:04:08,754 --> 00:04:14,915 It's like a collective of influencers, and maybe that got—and you can tell.
82 00:04:14,915 --> 00:04:15,900 Like, Good Good. 83 00:04:16,139 --> 00:04:17,579 Everybody's sucking off Good Good. 84 00:04:17,579 --> 00:04:19,519 How can we get in a Good Good video? 85 00:04:19,740 --> 00:04:22,079 And then it kinda goes down the mountain.
86 00:04:22,220 --> 00:04:22,540 Right? 87 00:04:22,540 --> 00:04:27,579 Like, you can tell based on follower count literally where the most people are hovering 88 00:04:27,579 --> 00:04:30,985 around, trying to get on the and trying to be seen with those guys. 89 00:04:30,985 --> 00:04:35,305 And then they're sharing with them, and then there's third-tier sharing and suck off, and 90 00:04:35,305 --> 00:04:36,285 it's just crazy. 91 00:04:36,504 --> 00:04:38,504 You gotta love the third-tier suck off.

96 00:04:44,230 --> 00:04:47,910 I think we get to, like, eighth or ninth tier down even though what we call that. 97 00:04:47,910 --> 00:04:49,530 We call that Chinese food. 98 00:04:52,629 --> 00:04:53,129 Yeah. 99 00:04:53,750 --> 00:04:54,790 So that's how it went.

157 00:07:48,524 --> 00:07:53,645 It was like watching Michael Jordan drain a jumper against the Utah Jazz, my friend. 158 00:07:53,645 --> 00:07:55,904 Like, he did not falter. 159 00:07:56,125 --> 00:07:57,904 And he was cool, calm, collected. 160 00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:03,680 Afterwards, he talks about I've been doing a shit ton of meditation, and when I got onto 161 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,819 that first tee on the final round, I had no nerves whatsoever.
162 00:08:07,279 --> 00:08:09,139 And I'm telling you right now, it showed. 163 00:08:09,279 --> 00:08:13,985 That dude and that is not an environment, by the way, that is calm. 164 00:08:14,205 --> 00:08:21,485 That, you know, you can just get by and without the crowd like messing with you a little bit. 165 00:08:21,485 --> 00:08:24,764 And yes, you had Scottie Scheffler coming up from behind.

220 00:10:29,779 --> 00:10:33,940 We saw Sahith Theegala choke a victory, right? 221 00:10:33,940 --> 00:10:39,434 On 17, he hit it into the water on the left, as I recall, coming down the stretch and blew it. 222 00:10:39,514 --> 00:10:45,115 So, I mean, this is not an easy golf course to win and to win by seven over some of those 223 00:10:45,115 --> 00:10:45,995 names that I mentioned. 224 00:10:45,995 --> 00:10:49,115 And let's do a little leaderboard rundown here.
225 00:10:49,115 --> 00:10:54,335 So good old Michael Kim, the Twitter sensation himself. 226 00:10:54,659 --> 00:10:56,440 He's been really good on Twitter. 227 00:10:56,980 --> 00:10:58,899 17 under T-2. 228 00:10:58,899 --> 00:11:04,279 Daniel Berger, which we found out during the broadcast, has more of Justin Thomas's money 229 00:11:04,579 --> 00:11:07,394 than anybody else that Justin Thomas plays against.
230 00:11:07,955 --> 00:11:13,495 Christiaan Bezuidenhout was T-4 along with Jordan Spieth. 231 00:11:13,875 --> 00:11:16,615 Spieth looked like he was back this week. 232 00:11:16,835 --> 00:11:18,754 However, he still was on some adventures. 233 00:11:18,754 --> 00:11:23,840 He loves the wildlife in Arizona, loves hanging out with some desert animals, and sure enough, 234 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:24,580 it showed.
235 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,899 Justin Thomas, minus 15. 236 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,779 He holed out on the last, I believe. 237 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,634 And then Wilt Chandler, T-6. 238 00:11:33,634 --> 00:11:35,575 So Will Chandler was a Monday qualifier.

247 00:11:59,910 --> 00:12:01,690 Because they cleaned up that tournament. 248 00:12:02,115 --> 00:12:05,014 They knew after last year, this has gone too far. 249 00:12:05,315 --> 00:12:08,434 And I don't know about you, Buttsy, you were out there on the busiest day. 250 00:12:08,434 --> 00:12:11,014 I decided not to go Saturday.
251 00:12:11,394 --> 00:12:11,634 So 252 00:12:11,875 --> 00:12:13,235 They they rung it in, man. 253 00:12:13,235 --> 00:12:19,420 They they brought it back to its brilliance, I think, right, where it was right on the edge. 254 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,879 And that's where it usually is, and that's when it's 255 00:12:21,879 --> 00:12:22,779 the most fun. 256 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,240 And, we saw that again this year.
257 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:25,800 So I 258 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,464 don't think people—I mean, you had a lot of variables last year. 259 00:12:28,464 --> 00:12:32,384 You had the rain and the mud and, like, shut down parking lots, lines of people that weren't 260 00:12:32,384 --> 00:12:34,144 intended to be marching by each other. 261 00:12:34,144 --> 00:12:34,625 Absolutely. 262 00:12:35,345 --> 00:12:37,044 Anyways, yeah, it was way better.
263 00:12:37,985 --> 00:12:38,384 It was 264 00:12:38,705 --> 00:12:45,009 and you could really tell because of social media because social media did not have all the 265 00:12:45,009 --> 00:12:47,029 clips that you normally see of just debauchery. 266 00:12:47,330 --> 00:12:48,690 It was all from years past. 267 00:12:48,690 --> 00:12:51,009 Like, I'm like, oh, I've seen that one before. 268 00:12:51,009 --> 00:12:52,389 Oh, I've seen that one before.
269 00:12:52,690 --> 00:12:55,634 So ladies falling down the hill sliding and stuff. 270 00:12:55,634 --> 00:12:56,035 Yeah. 271 00:12:56,035 --> 00:12:57,154 Not a lot of that this year. 272 00:12:57,154 --> 00:12:59,575 It was—it was—that was the unfortunate thing.
273 00:13:00,195 --> 00:13:03,894 But, yeah, I feel like they got the digital tickets going. 274 00:13:04,115 --> 00:13:10,754 So the past two years, they had it to where they just stopped checking tickets because it 275 00:13:10,754 --> 00:13:12,000 got too crowded. 276 00:13:12,620 --> 00:13:15,279 So people were calling up their friends saying, get down here. 277 00:13:15,419 --> 00:13:21,179 And, sure enough, everybody was just getting into the golf tournament, and it was just—I've 278 00:13:21,179 --> 00:13:25,100 talked to a cop that was out there last year and he's like, there's over—there's over a 279 00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:29,154 million people on-site right now, which is insane for a golf event.
280 00:13:29,615 --> 00:13:35,615 So that's why it was a bit wild and crazy in years past, but again, that's something that 281 00:13:35,615 --> 00:13:40,410 the Thunderbirds cleaned up and we're greatly appreciative for because, yes, there's drunken 282 00:13:40,410 --> 00:13:42,110 fun and then there is debauchery. 283 00:13:42,570 --> 00:13:45,929 And there was some drunken fun out there and it was all good time. 284 00:13:45,929 --> 00:13:48,169 So really appreciate them doing that. 285 00:13:48,169 --> 00:13:58,295 Let's get into, by the way, the last Monday Q ever at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
