Show Transcript

1
00:00:11,839 --> 00:00:14,900
Welcome back, everybody, to Pull Hook Golf, the
podcast.

2
00:00:15,195 --> 00:00:16,654
I'm your host, Matt Cook.

3
00:00:16,714 --> 00:00:21,835
Tonight in studio, this is not the Buttsy that
has lost a bunch of weight and looks a lot

4
00:00:21,835 --> 00:00:22,335
smaller.

5
00:00:22,474 --> 00:00:24,894
It is Brent Grant himself in studio.

6
00:00:25,274 --> 00:00:27,914
Unfortunately, tonight, Buttsy was not able to
make it.

7
00:00:27,914 --> 00:00:29,134
He had a family emergency.

8
00:00:29,274 --> 00:00:33,549
So we wish the best of luck to Buttsy and look
forward to seeing him next week.

9
00:00:33,850 --> 00:00:42,190
But on this awesome episode, number 142, we've
got an awesome episode for all of you.

10
00:00:42,524 --> 00:00:46,364
And I just realized that my show notes were
actually on last week's episode, so I had to

11
00:00:46,364 --> 00:00:47,405
switch them over real quick.

12
00:00:47,405 --> 00:00:47,965
I thought there was

13
00:00:48,125 --> 00:00:50,945
You know, on the move, you know, golfers have
to be adaptable.

14
00:00:51,085 --> 00:00:52,864
You gotta adapt to the situation.

15
00:00:53,085 --> 00:00:54,844
Gotta be like a chameleon out there.

16
00:00:54,844 --> 00:00:59,560
So first off, we're gonna go over what we're
gonna go over on tonight's episode.

17
00:00:59,780 --> 00:01:02,980
First off, we've got the tee-off report, which
is this is gonna be pretty freaking

18
00:01:02,980 --> 00:01:03,480
interesting.

19
00:01:03,859 --> 00:01:11,799
And then, we've got the pro golf recap, Black
Desert Championship, the Swanee Style segment,

20
00:01:11,864 --> 00:01:13,724
and the Shriners Open preview.

21
00:01:13,864 --> 00:01:20,185
And then last but not least, our favorite topic
to talk about, shit on, and otherwise is LIV

22
00:01:20,185 --> 00:01:20,685
Golf.

23
00:01:20,744 --> 00:01:22,364
So we've got an update there.

24
00:01:22,504 --> 00:01:26,900
But, before we do begin, I do see truck golfer
here with the comments.

25
00:01:26,900 --> 00:01:28,119
Says Nas or alcohol?

26
00:01:28,340 --> 00:01:30,280
You might be making the wrong choice.

27
00:01:30,579 --> 00:01:34,579
I tell you what, sometimes I question it
myself, but today was one of those days.

28
00:01:34,579 --> 00:01:36,359
So we're going with the Nas today.

29
00:01:36,515 --> 00:01:37,394
Still no alcohol.

30
00:01:37,394 --> 00:01:38,694
We're still on the wagon.

31
00:01:38,915 --> 00:01:40,915
I learned the proper terminology there, which

32
00:01:40,915 --> 00:01:42,034
is how many weeks is that?

33
00:01:42,034 --> 00:01:43,254
I don't fucking know.

34
00:01:43,634 --> 00:01:44,274
I should get

35
00:01:44,435 --> 00:01:44,834
No clue.

36
00:01:44,834 --> 00:01:45,634
I'm trying to, like, keep

37
00:01:46,114 --> 00:01:50,114
It wasn't, like, one of these things where I'm,
like, I'm gonna stop drinking.

38
00:01:50,114 --> 00:01:51,974
It was just, like, I'm gonna stop drinking.

39
00:01:52,250 --> 00:01:54,509
It's a day, it's just a different scenario.

40
00:01:54,569 --> 00:01:59,709
Like, everybody get online and just hold Matt
accountable every day and check in on him.

41
00:02:01,369 --> 00:02:05,114
So we will give a shout-out to our sponsor,
Swannies Golf.

42
00:02:05,194 --> 00:02:06,474
I'm rocking all the gear tonight.

43
00:02:06,474 --> 00:02:07,674
I mean, check this stuff out.

44
00:02:07,674 --> 00:02:08,415
Feel that.

45
00:02:08,474 --> 00:02:10,414
Give it a nice little touch.

46
00:02:10,474 --> 00:02:10,794
Yeah.

47
00:02:10,794 --> 00:02:11,534
Feel that?

48
00:02:11,754 --> 00:02:12,655
Nice fabric.

49
00:02:12,955 --> 00:02:14,495
We've got the polo underneath.

50
00:02:14,715 --> 00:02:18,175
This is part, by the way, of their Stadium
Village collection.

51
00:02:18,235 --> 00:02:18,895
It's fantastic.

52
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:24,900
But there's a big announcement with Swannies
Golf that is coming up in three days.

53
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,080
They are going to be announcing something big.

54
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,360
I'm gonna let them go.

55
00:02:29,519 --> 00:02:30,560
I almost blew it.

56
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,560
I almost absolutely just spilled the beans.

57
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:33,139
Oh, wait.

58
00:02:33,814 --> 00:02:34,694
It does look good.

59
00:02:34,694 --> 00:02:35,414
It looks great.

60
00:02:35,414 --> 00:02:36,215
You got the whole thing.

61
00:02:36,215 --> 00:02:37,594
You got the shorts on too?

62
00:02:38,294 --> 00:02:39,175
Got shorts on.

63
00:02:39,175 --> 00:02:39,495
Wow.

64
00:02:39,495 --> 00:02:41,175
I've got some Jordans on.

65
00:02:41,175 --> 00:02:41,974
That's yeah.

66
00:02:41,974 --> 00:02:42,455
There we go.

67
00:02:42,455 --> 00:02:43,574
Nobody's impressed by that.

68
00:02:43,574 --> 00:02:43,814
Yeah.

69
00:02:43,814 --> 00:02:44,375
Everybody is.

70
00:02:44,455 --> 00:02:44,854
Liked it.

71
00:02:44,854 --> 00:02:45,175
Hold on.

72
00:02:45,495 --> 00:02:46,810
Is that a hoodie?

73
00:02:46,909 --> 00:02:47,110
Hoodie too.

74
00:02:47,270 --> 00:02:47,750
Hoodie, folks.

75
00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:48,490
It's a hoodie.

76
00:02:48,550 --> 00:02:49,030
Nice.

77
00:02:49,030 --> 00:02:49,510
Very nice.

78
00:02:49,510 --> 00:02:50,790
Had to represent for my Yankees.

79
00:02:50,790 --> 00:02:51,830
I have no idea what they're doing.

80
00:02:51,830 --> 00:02:55,990
And by the way, this is a huge sacrifice
tonight as normally I never miss a Yankees

81
00:02:55,990 --> 00:02:58,330
game, never miss it as a New Yorker.

82
00:02:58,474 --> 00:03:00,014
But, yeah, it's not,

83
00:03:01,435 --> 00:03:02,074
and tragic.

84
00:03:02,074 --> 00:03:02,635
Oh, there we go.

85
00:03:02,635 --> 00:03:05,034
Corey Whitlock has a point here.

86
00:03:05,034 --> 00:03:08,495
But he is at Butler Cabin dropping chocolate
beavers.

87
00:03:08,955 --> 00:03:09,514
Tears boys.

88
00:03:09,514 --> 00:03:10,474
Well done, Corey.

89
00:03:10,474 --> 00:03:11,294
Love that.

90
00:03:11,355 --> 00:03:14,270
Now we're gonna start off with the tee-off
report.

91
00:03:14,270 --> 00:03:17,889
Normally, this is our brand new segment that we
started last week with Buttsy.

92
00:03:18,110 --> 00:03:20,189
It got some rave reviews from our audience.

93
00:03:20,189 --> 00:03:21,389
People absolutely loved it.

94
00:03:21,389 --> 00:03:23,150
Kicked them off right off the first one.

95
00:03:23,150 --> 00:03:23,389
Yeah.

96
00:03:23,389 --> 00:03:24,270
It wasn't good enough.

97
00:03:24,270 --> 00:03:24,590
Yeah.

98
00:03:24,590 --> 00:03:27,169
So we're gonna go with Brent on this one.

99
00:03:27,415 --> 00:03:29,995
And, we're going to start off with a little
word association.

100
00:03:30,375 --> 00:03:30,875
Okay.

101
00:03:31,094 --> 00:03:35,895
We've got the first thing that comes to your
head, just blurt it out.

102
00:03:35,895 --> 00:03:37,034
Collegiate golf.

103
00:03:40,750 --> 00:03:41,150
Okay.

104
00:03:41,150 --> 00:03:42,510
First thing that comes to your head.

105
00:03:42,590 --> 00:03:43,409
So much.

106
00:03:43,870 --> 00:03:45,170
The very first thing.

107
00:03:47,790 --> 00:03:48,930
Oh, gosh.

108
00:03:49,629 --> 00:03:50,129
Overrated.

109
00:03:50,510 --> 00:03:51,490
There you go.

110
00:03:51,790 --> 00:03:52,290
Utah.

111
00:03:53,469 --> 00:03:53,969
Breathtaking.

112
00:03:55,745 --> 00:03:56,245
golfers.

113
00:03:57,025 --> 00:03:58,405
Pure swings in golf.

114
00:03:58,705 --> 00:03:59,604
Las Vegas.

115
00:04:01,665 --> 00:04:02,165
Danger.

116
00:04:02,865 --> 00:04:03,764
Blade putters.

117
00:04:07,169 --> 00:04:07,669
Overused.

118
00:04:08,769 --> 00:04:09,750
Mallet putters.

119
00:04:10,129 --> 00:04:11,030
Also overused.

120
00:04:11,409 --> 00:04:12,049
Oh, wow.

121
00:04:12,049 --> 00:04:12,549
Okay.

122
00:04:12,930 --> 00:04:13,489
Not bad.

123
00:04:13,489 --> 00:04:15,989
Not bad to start off with our word association.

124
00:04:16,209 --> 00:04:17,569
I'll give you a little pound here.

125
00:04:17,569 --> 00:04:18,389
There we go.

126
00:04:18,610 --> 00:04:19,795
Well done.

127
00:04:19,795 --> 00:04:21,475
There is the Yankee score 4-2.

128
00:04:21,475 --> 00:04:22,274
Come on, baby.

129
00:04:22,274 --> 00:04:22,834
Let's get it.

130
00:04:22,834 --> 00:04:23,714
Base is loaded.

131
00:04:23,714 --> 00:04:24,194
Come on.

132
00:04:24,194 --> 00:04:25,154
Come on now.

133
00:04:25,154 --> 00:04:26,595
Hopefully, the Yankees are up to bat.

134
00:04:26,595 --> 00:04:28,355
I didn't get to see that part of it.

135
00:04:28,355 --> 00:04:32,915
But now we've got it was previously Buttsy on a
soapbox.

136
00:04:32,915 --> 00:04:34,535
It is now Brent on a soapbox.

137
00:04:34,949 --> 00:04:36,389
And, this is bad.

138
00:04:36,389 --> 00:04:39,129
What is your biggest pet peeve with golf
etiquette?

139
00:04:40,789 --> 00:04:41,110
Dun.

140
00:04:41,110 --> 00:04:41,350
Dun.

141
00:04:41,350 --> 00:04:41,850
Dun.

142
00:04:42,629 --> 00:04:43,529
Oh, gosh.

143
00:04:44,789 --> 00:04:51,455
The number one biggest pet peeve, in all of
golf etiquette is the, oh, man.

144
00:04:52,395 --> 00:04:53,295
I had it.

145
00:04:53,435 --> 00:04:53,915
I had it.

146
00:04:53,915 --> 00:04:55,134
Maybe I need some NOS.

147
00:04:57,915 --> 00:05:01,774
It would be the, pulling up on the golf tee on
the tee box.

148
00:05:02,899 --> 00:05:07,620
You're the group, you're the group on the tee,
and then the group behind pulls right up on top

149
00:05:07,620 --> 00:05:11,060
of you and just kinda gets out in the cart and
gives the Oh.

150
00:05:11,060 --> 00:05:11,939
That's my number one.

151
00:05:11,939 --> 00:05:13,620
They get right right up on the tee box.

152
00:05:13,620 --> 00:05:13,779
Yeah.

153
00:05:13,779 --> 00:05:18,475
Because the talking and the towel throwing or
the line stepping, it doesn't bother me.

154
00:05:18,475 --> 00:05:19,355
You hate to see it.

155
00:05:19,355 --> 00:05:20,875
You absolutely hate to see it.

156
00:05:20,875 --> 00:05:21,355
I'll tell you.

157
00:05:21,355 --> 00:05:26,714
I mean, one of my biggest pet peeves with golf
etiquette is when people hit into you, which I

158
00:05:26,714 --> 00:05:27,915
do a lot into people.

159
00:05:27,915 --> 00:05:29,355
I don't know what it is about me.

160
00:05:29,355 --> 00:05:30,074
You're just wild.

161
00:05:30,154 --> 00:05:32,254
Get up there and I hate to drive.

162
00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:34,419
Sometimes it goes a little bit too far.

163
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,220
I don't have the greatest depth perception, so
I apologize.

164
00:05:37,519 --> 00:05:42,000
But that's one of my pet peeves is when people
drive the ball into me, and it just so happens

165
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:42,959
that I do it often.

166
00:05:42,959 --> 00:05:43,680
So my

167
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,039
pet peeve is something that I gotta work on
myself.

168
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:46,639
Work on.

169
00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:47,120
Absolutely.

170
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,180
I love the accountability.

171
00:05:48,375 --> 00:05:49,014
It's beautiful.

172
00:05:49,014 --> 00:05:50,314
You gotta keep it real.

173
00:05:50,375 --> 00:05:52,935
Gotta keep it real when keeping it real goes
wrong.

174
00:05:52,935 --> 00:05:53,175
K?

175
00:05:53,415 --> 00:05:54,134
Real folks.

176
00:05:54,134 --> 00:05:55,115
Keeping it real.

177
00:05:55,254 --> 00:06:00,795
We're gonna move right into our next segment,
which is the pro golf recap.

178
00:06:01,175 --> 00:06:03,995
This is the Black Desert Championship, folks.

179
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:05,620
Winner was Matt McCarty.

180
00:06:06,159 --> 00:06:09,939
This was his third start ever, k, on the PGA
Tour.

181
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:15,699
Fresh off battlefield promotion from the Korn
Ferry Tour, he won by three at 23 under.

182
00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:18,180
Got any comments about, good old Matt McCarty?

183
00:06:19,024 --> 00:06:20,724
I believe he's a Scottsdale native.

184
00:06:21,425 --> 00:06:23,524
He's just he's just flat out good.

185
00:06:23,985 --> 00:06:25,284
I've known him for years.

186
00:06:25,745 --> 00:06:27,125
Super happy for him.

187
00:06:28,144 --> 00:06:30,224
But, you know, the swing is silky.

188
00:06:30,224 --> 00:06:31,925
Like I said, I mean, he's he's a lefty.

189
00:06:32,064 --> 00:06:32,384
Oh.

190
00:06:32,384 --> 00:06:34,589
So, you know, that immediately puts him up
there.

191
00:06:34,750 --> 00:06:35,069
It's a good

192
00:06:35,069 --> 00:06:36,769
point we had that in our word association.

193
00:06:36,990 --> 00:06:37,310
See.

194
00:06:37,310 --> 00:06:40,769
You know, we just kinda loop it back to keeping
it real.

195
00:06:41,629 --> 00:06:51,045
But, yeah, I would say this might be the
fastest rise that anybody's ever had from Korn

196
00:06:51,045 --> 00:06:56,185
Ferry Tour to PGA Tour winner ever.

197
00:06:56,805 --> 00:06:57,305
Wow.

198
00:06:57,524 --> 00:07:02,004
So that's pretty impressive considering how
much stock they're putting into college golf

199
00:07:02,004 --> 00:07:05,040
and, you know, not the Korn Ferry Tour.

200
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:11,279
You love to see a guy take off, excel, and
really make his way onto the tour.

201
00:07:11,279 --> 00:07:20,514
And as you were letting me know ahead of time,
this was his, so this is his fourth win of the

202
00:07:20,514 --> 00:07:20,914
year.

203
00:07:20,914 --> 00:07:21,414
Mhmm.

204
00:07:21,555 --> 00:07:24,935
Three on the Korn Ferry, one on the PGA Tour.

205
00:07:25,474 --> 00:07:28,534
The guy's obviously playing pretty damn well.

206
00:07:28,914 --> 00:07:29,235
Yeah.

207
00:07:29,235 --> 00:07:34,279
I mean, it just shows that the translation
between the two tours is there.

208
00:07:34,279 --> 00:07:39,000
I mean, there's not really, you know, I think
we had what, Jake Knapp won this year.

209
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,500
Eric Cole's done very well over the last couple
of years.

210
00:07:42,039 --> 00:07:43,240
Rookie of the year last year,

211
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:43,759
Eric Cole.

212
00:07:43,879 --> 00:07:44,680
Rookie of the year.

213
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:49,205
So pretty incredible, pretty exciting stuff, I
think, coming from this rookie class.

214
00:07:49,605 --> 00:07:55,285
I got to play with them all year and good kids
and super pumped for Matt.

215
00:07:55,285 --> 00:07:56,805
And I'm sure he's

216
00:07:57,045 --> 00:07:57,365
Thank you.

217
00:07:57,365 --> 00:07:58,004
I appreciate that.

218
00:07:58,004 --> 00:07:58,644
You're welcome.

219
00:07:58,644 --> 00:07:59,685
It's all about you.

220
00:07:59,685 --> 00:08:00,584
It's all that's

221
00:08:00,759 --> 00:08:01,560
always is.

222
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:02,620
That's why we're here.

223
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:03,420
100%.

224
00:08:04,439 --> 00:08:05,980
Or should we say 1,000%.

225
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:07,080
Oh, god.

226
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:07,580
Yeah.

227
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,360
Does 1,000% make sense?

228
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:10,860
No.

229
00:08:11,879 --> 00:08:12,860
Does to me.

230
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:19,084
Now I do wanna give a shout-out to a friend of
the show, Kevin Streelman.

231
00:08:19,545 --> 00:08:20,824
Great showing out of him.

232
00:08:20,824 --> 00:08:21,545
Really needed it.

233
00:08:21,545 --> 00:08:28,100
I think he was in, like, 176th, and it bumped
him right up back into, keeping his card for

234
00:08:28,100 --> 00:08:28,839
next year.

235
00:08:28,839 --> 00:08:31,000
T-3 at minus 19.

236
00:08:31,300 --> 00:08:33,860
I don't know the exact number, but he's way up
there now.

237
00:08:33,860 --> 00:08:38,340
So we're Streels, we're gonna give you a
shout-out, but we don't know where you're at

238
00:08:38,500 --> 00:08:38,700
No clue.

239
00:08:38,740 --> 00:08:38,820
With

240
00:08:38,820 --> 00:08:42,125
the next list because we just saw your name and
we're so excited.

241
00:08:42,184 --> 00:08:42,585
Yeah.

242
00:08:42,585 --> 00:08:43,304
We got pumped.

243
00:08:43,304 --> 00:08:48,345
I, well, I was watching this weekend, and I'm
like, man, Kevin Streelman still got it.

244
00:08:48,345 --> 00:08:49,725
He still got it.

245
00:08:50,184 --> 00:08:50,424
Yes.

246
00:08:50,424 --> 00:08:50,904
He does.

247
00:08:50,904 --> 00:08:53,465
He and I share the same trainer actually, funny
enough.

248
00:08:53,465 --> 00:08:54,345
There you go.

249
00:08:54,345 --> 00:08:59,559
Now, also, we do have to take a moment to just,
you know,

250
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:00,200
prayer.

251
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,080
Say national anthem.

252
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,580
say how great my pick was last week.

253
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,920
Lucas Glover, just a random pick too.

254
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,059
Just a gut instinct.

255
00:09:08,554 --> 00:09:10,794
He finished T-3 as well at minus 19.

256
00:09:10,794 --> 00:09:11,995
And how did your guy do?

257
00:09:11,995 --> 00:09:12,314
I don't know.

258
00:09:12,314 --> 00:09:13,194
I don't even know who I picked.

259
00:09:13,194 --> 00:09:14,095
I don't either.

260
00:09:14,315 --> 00:09:16,154
So not in the show notes.

261
00:09:16,154 --> 00:09:17,355
That's for goddamn sure.

262
00:09:17,355 --> 00:09:18,894
Might have been a Utah guy.

263
00:09:20,154 --> 00:09:20,475
Who

264
00:09:20,475 --> 00:09:21,694
did you go with?

265
00:09:21,750 --> 00:09:22,230
I don't know.

266
00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:23,129
I don't remember.

267
00:09:23,350 --> 00:09:24,070
I really don't.

268
00:09:24,070 --> 00:09:24,950
I don't even remember.

269
00:09:24,950 --> 00:09:26,789
But actually, Buttsy's was J.J.

270
00:09:26,789 --> 00:09:27,769
Spaun, I believe.

271
00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:30,570
No.

272
00:09:31,029 --> 00:09:31,529
No.

273
00:09:32,870 --> 00:09:36,409
So the top storyline once again, folks, was
Matt McCarty.

274
00:09:37,034 --> 00:09:42,875
Obviously, we talked about the fact that he had
his fourth win this year, three once again on

275
00:09:42,875 --> 00:09:45,294
the Korn Ferry Tour and one on the PGA Tour.

276
00:09:45,434 --> 00:09:49,695
And then, he outplayed obviously several vets
out there, you know,

277
00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:53,460
Answer this question from the one and only trot
golfer.

278
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:54,160
Yeah.

279
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,340
Does that trainer excel with guys that are 5-7
and under?

280
00:09:58,480 --> 00:09:58,980
Absolutely.

281
00:09:59,040 --> 00:09:59,200
Does

282
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,840
that mean you're 5-6 or 5 whatever.

283
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:02,684
It doesn't really matter.

284
00:10:02,964 --> 00:10:03,725
It's funny enough.

285
00:10:03,725 --> 00:10:05,184
He's actually about 5-8.

286
00:10:05,325 --> 00:10:06,845
So, you know, the trainer is.

287
00:10:06,845 --> 00:10:12,524
So, he understands the depth of, you know, what
you need to go through as a short person.

288
00:10:12,524 --> 00:10:15,345
You know what's surprising is Brent's actually
pretty tall.

289
00:10:15,725 --> 00:10:17,105
He's not a short guy.

290
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,060
He's real skinny.

291
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:19,440
Yeah.

292
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,460
He's just very, very skinny.

293
00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:23,279
He looks like he's a small guy.

294
00:10:23,279 --> 00:10:23,779
Average.

295
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:24,639
He's not.

296
00:10:24,639 --> 00:10:25,540
Ball go far.

297
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:26,240
Ball hey.

298
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,360
I will say one thing.

299
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,620
Playing golf with Brent Grant, this kid has
some clubhead speed.

300
00:10:31,904 --> 00:10:35,664
Really reminds me that I am a washed-up
has-been that never was.

301
00:10:35,904 --> 00:10:36,625
Still a pro.

302
00:10:36,625 --> 00:10:37,125
Congratulations.

303
00:10:37,424 --> 00:10:38,704
I am not still a pro.

304
00:10:38,704 --> 00:10:39,824
I am not still a pro.

305
00:10:39,824 --> 00:10:41,345
I'm not even any good.

306
00:10:41,345 --> 00:10:41,904
It's okay.

307
00:10:41,904 --> 00:10:42,304
So.

308
00:10:42,544 --> 00:10:43,710
Sure doesn't matter though.

309
00:10:43,870 --> 00:10:46,050
I always winners win.

310
00:10:46,190 --> 00:10:55,230
Winners win, which little segue here as we kind
of finish up the Black Desert golf course is, I

311
00:10:55,230 --> 00:11:03,214
had a moment this past weekend, which we were
going to play golf on Saturday and Friday night

312
00:11:03,214 --> 00:11:05,054
was the ASU vs.

313
00:11:05,054 --> 00:11:06,595
Utah football game.

314
00:11:06,815 --> 00:11:07,315
Okay.

315
00:11:07,695 --> 00:11:11,534
And sure enough, the competitive juices got
flowing.

316
00:11:11,534 --> 00:11:11,855
Okay.

317
00:11:11,855 --> 00:11:15,639
And you're probably wondering why on a golf
podcast, are we talking about a college

318
00:11:15,639 --> 00:11:16,279
football game?

319
00:11:16,279 --> 00:11:17,399
Well, I will tell you.

320
00:11:17,399 --> 00:11:18,840
Because it's Matt Cook's podcast.

321
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:26,519
It's because I ended up getting asked if I
wanted to run in the 40-yard dash against

322
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:27,980
another fan.

323
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,684
And, of course, I couldn't say no.

324
00:11:29,764 --> 00:11:31,205
That's just the competitive side.

325
00:11:31,205 --> 00:11:36,345
And as soon as I said yes, I immediately
regretted it to where I'm like, oh, shit.

326
00:11:36,644 --> 00:11:39,544
Two years ago, I popped two hamstrings playing
slow-pitch softball.

327
00:11:40,325 --> 00:11:44,904
We had a big day planned for the next day.

328
00:11:45,170 --> 00:11:47,730
And I'm sitting there going, what the hell did
I just do?

329
00:11:47,730 --> 00:11:48,050
I need

330
00:11:48,050 --> 00:11:48,690
an ambulance.

331
00:11:48,690 --> 00:11:53,330
The entire, like because it was towards the end
of the first half that we had to go do this.

332
00:11:53,330 --> 00:11:57,970
And we'll show film on social media, because
the whole thing was filmed.

333
00:11:57,970 --> 00:12:03,944
Now I end up getting out there, and I had been
stretching nonstop.

334
00:12:04,964 --> 00:12:09,764
The most I probably have stretched in my entire
life because I just kept telling myself, don't

335
00:12:09,764 --> 00:12:10,584
pop a hamstring.

336
00:12:10,804 --> 00:12:15,940
Whatever you do and by the way, week, I believe
it was the second home game.

337
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,660
A guy out there ends up running it, tears his
ACL, and pops a hamstring.

338
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,379
So this stuff happens, folks.

339
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:24,899
I won.

340
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:26,320
And I did.

341
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:27,379
I won.

342
00:12:28,355 --> 00:12:34,434
I did not pop a hamstring and I made sure the
guy fell face first, shout out to him.

343
00:12:34,434 --> 00:12:35,414
I don't see

344
00:12:36,115 --> 00:12:36,274
an

345
00:12:36,274 --> 00:12:37,894
athlete, bigger athlete.

346
00:12:37,954 --> 00:12:39,554
They said it was the fastest runner.

347
00:12:39,554 --> 00:12:44,370
This year ran the 40 in 6.09 seconds.

348
00:12:45,230 --> 00:12:45,549
I feel like

349
00:12:45,629 --> 00:12:46,829
It might have been Tom Brady.

350
00:12:46,829 --> 00:12:49,189
I was about to say, is that Tom Brady status
right there?

351
00:12:49,309 --> 00:12:50,029
Brady status.

352
00:12:50,029 --> 00:12:50,350
Yeah.

353
00:12:50,350 --> 00:12:52,750
And now he's sitting in and what is he on?

354
00:12:52,750 --> 00:12:53,949
NBC or ABC?

355
00:12:53,949 --> 00:12:54,829
Or what is he doing now?

356
00:12:54,829 --> 00:12:54,990
Fox.

357
00:12:54,990 --> 00:12:55,485
Fox.

358
00:12:55,884 --> 00:12:55,964
Oh.

359
00:12:55,964 --> 00:12:56,125
Yeah.

360
00:12:56,125 --> 00:12:57,004
I think he's on Fox.

361
00:12:57,004 --> 00:12:57,485
Congratulations.

362
00:12:57,485 --> 00:12:58,865
Is he on Fox or CBS?

363
00:12:59,004 --> 00:12:59,565
We don't know.

364
00:12:59,565 --> 00:13:00,605
We have no idea.

365
00:13:00,605 --> 00:13:01,004
Okay.

366
00:13:01,004 --> 00:13:02,365
He's just gonna take over the whole deal.

367
00:13:02,365 --> 00:13:04,284
They might not even play the football now.

368
00:13:04,284 --> 00:13:05,485
Like, they're just gonna film

369
00:13:05,565 --> 00:13:06,084
They might not.

370
00:13:06,204 --> 00:13:06,764
Him Yeah.

371
00:13:06,845 --> 00:13:07,804
Talking Yeah.

372
00:13:08,054 --> 00:13:09,040
For eight hours.

373
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:13,200
He had a tough time his first week, I believe,
listening to the producer talking to him.

374
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:18,240
So whenever the producer would talk, he would
stop, and he would listen to the producer in

375
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,279
the middle of a sentence.

376
00:13:19,279 --> 00:13:20,259
Can't do that.

377
00:13:20,725 --> 00:13:21,245
You learn that

378
00:13:21,445 --> 00:13:22,345
So it's a good choice.

379
00:13:22,485 --> 00:13:23,365
You you got to.

380
00:13:23,365 --> 00:13:23,845
You gotta

381
00:13:23,845 --> 00:13:23,965
learn.

382
00:13:24,085 --> 00:13:26,105
Needs to hire you to

383
00:13:26,404 --> 00:13:27,144
Take over?

384
00:13:27,205 --> 00:13:27,705
No.

385
00:13:28,804 --> 00:13:29,125
Yeah.

386
00:13:29,125 --> 00:13:29,605
Maybe.

387
00:13:29,605 --> 00:13:30,105
Maybe.

388
00:13:30,245 --> 00:13:30,884
You never know.

389
00:13:30,884 --> 00:13:31,684
Just yeah.

390
00:13:31,684 --> 00:13:33,490
He's slightly more Tom Brady-ish.

391
00:13:33,490 --> 00:13:33,730
He

392
00:13:34,049 --> 00:13:36,870
definitely has a lot more football credibility
than I do.

393
00:13:37,090 --> 00:13:39,009
However, I did just run the 40.

394
00:13:39,490 --> 00:13:40,210
And you did.

395
00:13:40,290 --> 00:13:41,910
You are the fastest man alive.

396
00:13:41,970 --> 00:13:42,950
Immediate credibility.

397
00:13:43,009 --> 00:13:44,610
You're the fastest person in the world.

398
00:13:44,610 --> 00:13:45,889
People love to see it.

399
00:13:45,889 --> 00:13:46,370
You know?

400
00:13:46,370 --> 00:13:48,309
The crowd was going absolutely bizarre.

401
00:13:48,545 --> 00:13:49,684
And there's film of it.

402
00:13:50,065 --> 00:13:55,585
Five people in the stands, which I believe was
my wife, my two friends, and a couple

403
00:13:55,585 --> 00:13:56,705
other random people.

404
00:13:56,785 --> 00:13:57,445
Really happened.

405
00:13:57,504 --> 00:13:58,004
Yeah.

406
00:13:58,225 --> 00:13:59,904
I'll be playing a stopwatch when I watch.

407
00:14:00,465 --> 00:14:00,705
Yeah.

408
00:14:00,705 --> 00:14:01,845
Just watch that thing.

409
00:14:02,100 --> 00:14:03,299
My brother-in-law already did.

410
00:14:03,299 --> 00:14:05,559
He goes, I'm pretty sure that was a 7-second
40.

411
00:14:05,700 --> 00:14:06,820
Because I slowed up at the end.

412
00:14:06,820 --> 00:14:07,379
I think they Yeah.

413
00:14:07,379 --> 00:14:08,100
You just looked back.

414
00:14:08,100 --> 00:14:08,659
You're like, yeah.

415
00:14:08,659 --> 00:14:09,220
I got I

416
00:14:09,220 --> 00:14:11,299
mean, the guy was face first in the turf.

417
00:14:11,299 --> 00:14:11,940
So man,

418
00:14:11,940 --> 00:14:12,659
that's hurt.

419
00:14:12,659 --> 00:14:13,959
But pretty cool experience.

420
00:14:14,264 --> 00:14:16,524
Let's get back to the Black Desert
Championship.

421
00:14:16,825 --> 00:14:17,545
Golf pocket.

422
00:14:17,545 --> 00:14:17,945
We're back.

423
00:14:17,945 --> 00:14:19,004
We're back now.

424
00:14:19,144 --> 00:14:21,625
This is, over 200 penalties

425
00:14:21,945 --> 00:14:22,425
Oh, yeah.

426
00:14:22,425 --> 00:14:22,625
Sorry.

427
00:14:22,825 --> 00:14:24,985
Out there at the Black Desert Classic.

428
00:14:25,065 --> 00:14:26,425
From my dad, actually, today.

429
00:14:26,425 --> 00:14:27,299
He told me that.

430
00:14:27,379 --> 00:14:28,419
That's a great stat.

431
00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:28,980
Article.

432
00:14:28,980 --> 00:14:29,299
Yeah.

433
00:14:29,299 --> 00:14:29,959
Pretty much.

434
00:14:30,339 --> 00:14:30,820
Love that.

435
00:14:30,820 --> 00:14:33,559
Now the black color.

436
00:14:33,620 --> 00:14:35,220
The lava rock thing.

437
00:14:35,220 --> 00:14:36,179
It's the lava rock.

438
00:14:36,179 --> 00:14:37,959
It's obsidian, but, you know, whatever.

439
00:14:39,620 --> 00:14:40,360
their own.

440
00:14:40,554 --> 00:14:41,595
Obsidian, black.

441
00:14:41,595 --> 00:14:41,835
Mom

442
00:14:42,154 --> 00:14:44,014
Some people would say it's the same thing.

443
00:14:44,235 --> 00:14:44,735
Some.

444
00:14:44,795 --> 00:14:45,295
Some.

445
00:14:45,514 --> 00:14:46,335
Not everybody.

446
00:14:46,394 --> 00:14:48,815
However, the winner was still at 20 under.

447
00:14:48,875 --> 00:14:50,975
And 2023 over.

448
00:14:51,274 --> 00:14:51,795
Or 20.

449
00:14:52,075 --> 00:14:52,975
But I passed.

450
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:54,639
He's got it.

451
00:14:54,639 --> 00:14:55,080
He's got it.

452
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:55,759
For it, folks.

453
00:14:55,759 --> 00:14:56,000
Yeah.

454
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:56,559
He's here for it.

455
00:14:56,639 --> 00:14:57,200
Locked in.

456
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:04,720
Now as we say that, you also wanna mention a
couple things about the golf course in Utah and

457
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,379
just how gorgeous it was out there?

458
00:15:08,774 --> 00:15:10,074
I would, actually.

459
00:15:10,214 --> 00:15:10,714
Yeah.

460
00:15:11,414 --> 00:15:11,914
Thanks.

461
00:15:12,774 --> 00:15:13,414
You got this.

462
00:15:13,414 --> 00:15:14,554
This is your big moment.

463
00:15:14,615 --> 00:15:14,855
No.

464
00:15:14,855 --> 00:15:15,334
It was.

465
00:15:15,574 --> 00:15:17,834
Utah golf is pretty special in general.

466
00:15:18,134 --> 00:15:19,095
The air is crisp.

467
00:15:19,095 --> 00:15:19,654
It's clean.

468
00:15:19,654 --> 00:15:24,190
So any of the vistas that you're looking at, I
mean, those red rocks are tough to beat, and

469
00:15:24,190 --> 00:15:29,950
then you just kinda get the contrast of the
green with the obsidian and the red and the

470
00:15:30,269 --> 00:15:30,670
mountains.

471
00:15:30,670 --> 00:15:32,110
And, yeah.

472
00:15:32,110 --> 00:15:33,870
I mean, there's nothing out there.

473
00:15:33,870 --> 00:15:38,110
So there's no—you know, you're not seeing, like
this week, you're gonna see a bunch of hotels

474
00:15:38,110 --> 00:15:41,445
and streets and planes taking off and all that
other stuff.

475
00:15:41,445 --> 00:15:43,945
It was just the golf course and the landscape.

476
00:15:44,004 --> 00:15:47,284
So, they put on a phenomenal, phenomenal show.

477
00:15:47,284 --> 00:15:50,004
The greens were fast, and it looked perfect out
there.

478
00:15:50,004 --> 00:15:51,465
I wish I was there, to be honest.

479
00:15:51,524 --> 00:15:51,845
Same.

480
00:15:51,845 --> 00:15:53,225
It was very, very special.

481
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,860
We should've gone out to Utah.

482
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:57,120
We could've driven up.

483
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,759
We could've gotten into the Monday qualifier
without even trying because did you hear about

484
00:16:01,759 --> 00:16:02,160
that?

485
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:02,660
No.

486
00:16:02,879 --> 00:16:11,865
So the tour—I'm gonna just make sure we
emphasize the tour—decided that after they were

487
00:16:11,865 --> 00:16:17,245
informed of the mistake that the local PGA
section made by letting these two individuals

488
00:16:17,465 --> 00:16:20,309
into the Monday qualifier without
prequalifying.

489
00:16:20,450 --> 00:16:21,490
In other words, they had no—

490
00:16:21,490 --> 00:16:22,790
They just went right in.

491
00:16:23,090 --> 00:16:25,350
Like a whole zero amount of status.

492
00:16:25,970 --> 00:16:27,509
They went into the Monday qualifier.

493
00:16:27,809 --> 00:16:28,710
Did they qualify?

494
00:16:28,930 --> 00:16:29,330
And they

495
00:16:30,690 --> 00:16:31,250
Both of them?

496
00:16:31,250 --> 00:16:31,970
Both of them.

497
00:16:31,970 --> 00:16:32,790
No shit.

498
00:16:34,024 --> 00:16:39,464
Caveat to all that is the tour let them into
the Monday qualifier because one of the guys

499
00:16:39,464 --> 00:16:44,024
said, if you don't, you know, basically, if
you're not gonna let me play, I traveled out

500
00:16:44,024 --> 00:16:47,860
here and I'm staying and spending all these
thousands of dollars, and you're not
