1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: The volume. What is happening everybody? This is John Middlecoff

2
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: and this is our new Go Low feed. We're going

3
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: to separate moving forward golf in football, so we can

4
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: do as much golf content as we want. If I

5
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: ever want to do podcasts on anything, going on, interviews,

6
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: you name it, during football season. Obviously for the YouTube channel,

7
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: we also have a separate YouTube channel as well. We

8
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: put everything that we had done previously, we moved it over.

9
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: We're going to try to do some more on camera playing.

10
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: I've had some grand ideas. It's now just about executing.

11
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: But make sure you subscribe to all the Go Low

12
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 1: content and the golf. This is only the beginning, so

13
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: very very fired up. Obviously it's Ryder Cup week. I

14
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: recorded about thirty minutes of some Ryder Cup thoughts. I

15
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: will be there, so if you're listening to this on

16
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: Thursday and flying back there going on Friday.

17
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: Pretty fired up.

18
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: Not super excited about trying to get around New York City.

19
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: I know things pretty spread out, but seeing this golf course,

20
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I've watched a lot of Golf channel this

21
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: week and obviously Brandle Brandals just won't let it go.

22
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: So I'll get some thoughts on Brandle and Dye Chambeau

23
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 1: and obviously Keegan being the captain. You know, I think

24
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: if you're gonna.

25
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 2: Remove your heart and.

26
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: You know, any emotion as a patriotic American, I do

27
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: think we need to look at the Europeans to win

28
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: this thing. But yeah, I'm excited for the Ryder Cup.

29
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 2: Do wish.

30
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: I mean I gave some ideas about you know, so

31
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: we don't have to go up against the singles matches

32
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: against NFL Sunday, maybe Thursday, Friday, Saturday. But we're gonna

33
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: be positive here. We're gonna enjoy this thing. And yeah,

34
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: make sure you subscribe to this feed as well as

35
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: subscribing to our YouTube page, and we will have a

36
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: lot of golf content in the future. So let's dive in. Okay,

37
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: let's dive into the Ryder Cup because starts Friday. Your

38
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: boy will be there New York Bethpage Black, which is

39
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: a major venue. Brooks Koepka won the PGA Championship I

40
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: think in twenty nineteen when he was on his streak

41
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: of winning US Opens in PGAs and the hottest golfer,

42
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: number one player in the world long golf course and

43
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: led by Keegan Bradley, who obviously should have been on

44
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: the team but chose not to pick himself. Very very excited,

45
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: I was thinking about today. I haven't been to New

46
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: York City or just the general area since probably twenty twelve,

47
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: when I went to Hoboken with some buddies from the

48
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: Eagles for Saint Patti's Day. I know, they say the

49
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: kids in the youth, I was probably twenty five then

50
00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: twenty six, drink a lot of green juice.

51
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: Definitely we're not drinking it then.

52
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: I mean, I remember my phone died and I got

53
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: separated from the group. I clearly do not really know

54
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: the area, and I remember sleeping on a couch. Somehow

55
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: I got into like a high rise, nice complex kind

56
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: of area. Inside. The bellman let me in and I

57
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: was sleeping there. My phone's dead, had no communication. Then

58
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: one of the dudes that had like a penthouse there

59
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: came home with his wife and let me crash on

60
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: his cat.

61
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: Different times.

62
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: It was able to charge my phone, meet up with

63
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: them the next day and somehow survive that. But hopok

64
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: in cool place, especially Saint Patty's Day. This thing is

65
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: gonna be nuts, right The Americans are heavy favorites at

66
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: minus one. I was checking hard rock bet earlier. Today

67
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: you could get the Euros at plus one point fifty.

68
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm not betting on this simply because I wouldn't take

69
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: the Americans in minus one forty five. I know historically

70
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: they've been very good at home, haven't lost on home soil,

71
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: I think since twenty twelve. But to me, the Euros

72
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: in terms of their entire crew is just it's a

73
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: better team top to bottom now. I think the cool

74
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: part about this event is we have transitioned. You know.

75
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: The irony is like Tiger was, in my opinion, the

76
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: greatest player of all time, kind of a weird fit

77
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: back in the day on the Ryder Cups, especially in

78
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: his heyday right he was so individually driven and wired.

79
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: To then put him in this environment he was so

80
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: much more famous than everyone. Obviously his connection with the

81
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: other player, especially the younger crew, it just was always

82
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: a weird fit. Phil much more team oriented, but those

83
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: two guys just felt like in a different stratosphere, we're

84
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: the crew now and we've transitioned from those guys to

85
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: what we have now. Same thing with the Euros. The

86
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: Euro's always had you know, from Ian Poulter to Sergio Garcia.

87
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: Obviously Rose has played on a bunch Lee Westwood like

88
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: they had this consistent group. It just always felt like

89
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: they fit a little bit better. And I would say

90
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: this for both teams, like the Euro's got a good

91
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: vibe going right. Branda Sham believes not on TV going.

92
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: You know that Rory hates Rum and Hatton hates Fleetwood.

93
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 1: Now it's like they're all just boys. Even though a

94
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: couple of their top players went to another No one

95
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: cares right with us. It's just kind of a weird

96
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: mix right now. I think our greatest strength is the

97
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: best player in the world, pretty low key dude, And

98
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: unlike Tiger and Phil feels while on the golf course,

99
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: he doesn't feel this way because he's so much better

100
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: than everyone else. They just had a tournament in Napa

101
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: a week ago at Silverado, pretty nice course. It's okay, uh,

102
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: but you know, all the guys got together except Zander

103
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: because he just had a baby, and Bryson because they

104
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: wouldn't let him play, which to me was stupid. But

105
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: he came out there and they basically had a team

106
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: bonding event, which was healthy because well, Ben Griffin ended

107
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: up missing a short relatively short I think five feet

108
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: BIRDI putt on eighteen that would have put him in

109
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: extra holes with Scotty. But JJ Spond played well like

110
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: our guy showed good, good like signs of life. Where

111
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: typically they don't play till after the Tour Championship until

112
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: the Ryder Cup, they put an emphasis on that.

113
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 2: That's cool.

114
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: It's kind of like a pseudo We'll play some golf,

115
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: we'll team bond, we'll bring our wives out, little vacation

116
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: in Napa Valley, which I'm actually going in a week

117
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: and a half for a buddy's birthday party. It's it's

118
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: a beautiful place. There's no disputing that that it's probably

119
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: the nicest area in northern California.

120
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 2: And besides like Lake Tahoe.

121
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: But you know, the thing with Scotty, for being by

122
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: far the best player, he does.

123
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 2: Feel like one of the crew.

124
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: And that's you know, that's the thing that the Euros have.

125
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: It's like Rory Fleetwood, Lowry Rose like they it's just

126
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: raw Mahattan. It feels like they all just kind of

127
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: fit together pretty well. Our group can be a little weird,

128
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, and even Kopka Is said in the past, Right,

129
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: It's like, it's hard to play this team operation when

130
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: you're so used to this cycle of getting yourself ready

131
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: and that's all that matters. You're not worried about anyone else.

132
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: And then you know two of the events, right, if

133
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: you play four ball and best ball, four ball and

134
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: best ball, it's like sharing a ball with another guy.

135
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: It's just which is cool. Like, I'm all for the

136
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: match play element of hitting every other shot. I enjoy that,

137
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: But I do get where these guys are coming from.

138
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: That's not really what they do on a weekly basis.

139
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: So it's an outlier situation. But I do think the

140
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: what I'm most excited about, And I give this guy

141
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: a lot of credit. And I have a lot of

142
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: respect for Kicking Bradley because he's talked about for a

143
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: decade how much this event means to him and all

144
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: his goals and aspirations beside like winning the Masters or

145
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: the US Open is to be on the Ryder Cup.

146
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: And since twenty twelve he's never unpacked his bag. Right,

147
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: I like that that was a huge story two years

148
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: ago when it felt like he kind of got shunned

149
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: for guys that Zach Johnson picked over him that probably

150
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: weren't as worthy, and then he's given the captaincy, which

151
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: also I give you the PGA of America. Just the

152
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: Americans mindset a little credit, like think outside the box.

153
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: Stop just naming Jim Furick, Zach Johnson, who wants it next?

154
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: Steve Stricker, Like you can just go down the line,

155
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: like let's mix it up a little bit, and you

156
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: give this guy the opportunity to do it. He obviously

157
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: is he's a static and says yes, and then he

158
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: plays some of the best golf, if not the best

159
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: golf start to finish of his life. And clearly, if

160
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,719
Speaker 1: let's just say Phil Mickelson was the Americans captain, Keith

161
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: and Bradley would be on this team. Actually, I don't

162
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: think anyone not named Keigan Bradley if they were the

163
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: captain of this team, from Tiger to Phil to you

164
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: name it. Keigan Bradley's on this team as a player.

165
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: But my theory why he didn't pick himself. And obviously

166
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: I remember watching the press conference when I was in

167
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: Hawaii and it was pretty like it was fireworks because

168
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: you didn't you just assumed he was going to pick

169
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: himself and then he's going through like god, he's got

170
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: one spot left. And I think it was made a

171
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: little easier with how well Cam Young and Sam Burns

172
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: played at the Tour Championship. But I also think that

173
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: watch him Monday night FOOTBA last night. For example, Dan

174
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: Campbell played in the NFL for a long time. And

175
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: if Dan Campbell had never got into coaching after he

176
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: was done playing, and let's just say he went into

177
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: real estate or farming or whatever, it feels like, he

178
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: would be like a rope and cattle or something. But

179
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 1: all the people that knew Dan Campbell would be like, oh,

180
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: that's my buddy that played for the Dolphins and the

181
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: Cowboys and the Giants. But that's my buddy that played

182
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: at Texas A and M and played in the NFL

183
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: for a long time, And he would be hugely famous

184
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: in his group of friends and listen, he had a

185
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: successful career, but most casual fans would not be able

186
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: to point out Dan Campbell out of a lineup as

187
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: a player.

188
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 2: Now, Keegan's not that.

189
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: Keegan has won a major championship, has played on Ryder Cups,

190
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: is just a much more famous individual in his sport.

191
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: Than Dan was in his sport as a player. But

192
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: think how famous Dan Campbell is now as a coach. Like,

193
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: there's no one that watches football that doesn't know who

194
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,599
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell is. My wife talks about him all the

195
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: time because that story that went viral of him eating

196
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: Talante the ice cream like three jugs. Now Talante is

197
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: not jugs but three basically individual helpings of Talante every night,

198
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: which seems a little ridiculous. But like, Dan's just become

199
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: a key famous individual in the sport of football. And

200
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: Keegan Bradley is a lover of sports, Boston sports, so

201
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: for twenty plus years he had a front row seat

202
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: on seeing like obviously Tom was the most famous Patriot.

203
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 2: Who do you think the second most famous was? It

204
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 2: was a coach Bill Belichick.

205
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: Keegan Bradley loves the Celtics, Doc Rivers, right, I mean,

206
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: pretty famous dude, the Red Sox, Terry FRANCONA kind of

207
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: matters in the landscape of the sport.

208
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 2: So I do wonder that a lot of these golfers.

209
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: That maybe aren't huge, huge sports fans, this would have

210
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: been a much more difficult situation. But I wonder if Keegan,

211
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: who I'm sure in his free time just watches a

212
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: lot of sports.

213
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 2: He's just a junkie.

214
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: Like most of us, saw the value and like there's

215
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: a huge power in being the guy named I was

216
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: the winning captain, which essentially is the coach for the

217
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: squad in twenty twenty five, and more than likely I

218
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: would be stunned if this goes well, he's not the

219
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 1: captain on.

220
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: The next team.

221
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: Now, maybe he like recuses himself because he wants to

222
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: play on it, but I do wonder if it would

223
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: give him a fire in a high like I bet

224
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: if you asked Dan Campbell, what was more fun as

225
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: a human being you're fifty years old. Was it blocking

226
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: a defensive end at when you played tight end for

227
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: Bill Parcells on like an outside run and scoring a

228
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: touchdown and me that running back in the end zone?

229
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: Or was it bringing a team into Baltimore and kicking

230
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: the living piss out of the Ravens and that jubilation

231
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: in the locker room when it wasn't just you, and

232
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: it wasn't just the other eleven guys, it was fifty

233
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: three guys. It was all your coaches. There's no question

234
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: in my mind he would say coaching the team and

235
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 1: the impact that it has on way more people right

236
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: that are directly impacted by him, Like Keigan got to

237
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: pick this team, Keegan got to pick these captains. And

238
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: while it sucks from a player standpoint because he's playing

239
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: at such a high level, I do think it's really

240
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: cool that he did what we all thought he wouldn't

241
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: do and maybe, and he kind of alluded to this

242
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: when he gave his press conference several weeks ago that

243
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: like I had kind of known for a couple of weeks,

244
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: and it was obviously made easier when the Tour Championship

245
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: played out Saturday and Sunday of that weekend when some

246
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: of his guys really shined and had been I mean,

247
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: Cam Young and Sam Burns had been playing.

248
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 2: Well down the stretch.

249
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: But I think there's a power in being the lead,

250
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: in being the guy that everyone looks to than just

251
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: being one of the members of the team that were

252
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: you know, you're gonna be like Bryce and Scottie, the

253
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: names on the Xander who won multiple majors a year ago,

254
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 1: like he would have been even Justin Thomas, who's one

255
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: of the more legendary Ryder Cup guys, and here's the

256
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: other thing, like it had to be difficult. He's from

257
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: the northeast. Most of these golfers in the history of

258
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: the sport are not from that area right now, Cam

259
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: Young is and I think he had to be thinking

260
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: for a couple of years how cool it would have been.

261
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: He even talked about it, how when he was at

262
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: Saint John's, which is definitely not at golf school, how

263
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 1: they used to sneak on this course and the route

264
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: they would play so they didn't get seen on the

265
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: days it was closed. But I think not only did

266
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: he make the right choice, but I think his choice

267
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: was greatly influenced by his love of team sports and

268
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: in an individual game, right in a game where it's

269
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: just you and your caddy. And let's face it, I

270
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: know these guys give caddies a lot of credit, and

271
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: I think they play a huge role in their mental

272
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: outlook and ability to kind of slow things down. When

273
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: shit hits the fan, it's really on you. If you're

274
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy five yards out and the wins

275
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: India and the pen is tucked over a bunker on

276
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: a fast green, that's hard. You can either hit that buttercutter,

277
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: you can't right that the caddy can't do it right.

278
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: We're in football.

279
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: It's like, well, I slipped and I missed the block,

280
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: but Saquan juked the guy out and went forty yards,

281
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: or you know, I didn't throw it to the open guy,

282
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: but he made an incredible contested catch and then he

283
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: broke a tackle when he scored, and I got the

284
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: touchdown pass right and my right tackle had an incredible

285
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: block on Max Crosby. So so much is out of

286
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: your control as a player in these team sports. Weren't golf,

287
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: It's all on you. I mean, it's completely all on you.

288
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: And I think Hegan can get this unique perspective. And

289
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: I'm actually really really excited for as much as you know,

290
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: to watch the players, but just to watch Keegan, especially

291
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: given Zach Johnson, who will go down as one of

292
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: the biggest loser coaches slash captains of all time. I mean,

293
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: he's been getting into it with fans at these tournaments

294
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: because he's constantly made fun of, like that that's a

295
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: stink that he'll never shake. That's not something you get

296
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: in the shower and you can wash off. We will

297
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: forever remember Zach Johnson, who you can make fun of

298
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: him all you want, like he's kind of won some

299
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: big tournaments. Google's resume won a couple of majors, you know,

300
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: this one called the Masters. Kind of important in the

301
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: grand scheme of the sport, but when it comes to

302
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: being a leader, no one.

303
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 2: Takes them seriously.

304
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: Today's show is brought to you by a new presenting sponsor,

305
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: hard Rock Bet. Week four kicks off tonight with a

306
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: divisional battle between Seattle and Arizona. I want you to

307
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: check out these streaks from hard Rock bet stats up.

308
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: Do you know that the Seahawks they've won seven in

309
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: a row against the Cards that goes back to twenty

310
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: twenty one. They've also won seven in a row road games,

311
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: so they're playing really well on the road. I typically

Speaker 1: key with Bando and their deodor it has sweat control,

344

00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: be soaked if I'm just walking outside to grab something

347
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:44,560

Speaker 1: Protect your pits, baby, smell great doing it. And the

370
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: other part I think that I respect about Keegan Bradley

371
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: and listen. I can speak from my own experience. I

372
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: remember when I first got into this business, Like I

373
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: left football and I got into radio, and I remember

374
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: thinking like all that mattered was I could watch the

375
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: games and break down the games and local radio.

376
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 2: That's for me.

377
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,959
Speaker 1: It wasn't just football. It was I gotta be able

378
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: to talk about baseball. I gotta be able to talk

379
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: about basketball. I'm never gonna miss a dribble or never

380
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 1: gonna miss a pitch. And I realized the other station,

381
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,719
Speaker 1: which was way bigger and famous, station kN B are

382
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: even though radio in that area is dead now, but

383
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: for a long time, they were like the West Coast

384
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: version of WFAN and New York. You turn on them

385
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: and their big hosts were kind of screw around guys

386
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 1: that they were entertainers. It wasn't breaking down every inning

387
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:51,959
Speaker 1: or every dribble.

388
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 2: It was fun.

389
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: And I realized after several years, and honestly it took

390
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: getting fired in radio though, well what I got fired

391
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: for but regards wordless of like this is this is entertainment.

392
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: This isn't like like what I know and what I

393
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 1: see every single If you're just breaking down every single game,

394
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: you're gonna put people to sleep, Like you gotta be

395
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: somewhat bring something else to the table and be open,

396
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: like have a personality, stop fucking being so worried about

397
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: like gott he he should not have stolen third in

398
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: the sixth inning of Game one hundred and two, like

399
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: nobody cares, I promise you. And it's one thing I

400
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: learned that, like Keegan talked about early in his career,

401
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: all he was focused on was himself in survival and

402
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: everyone else was an enemy. And I can relate a

403
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: little bit to that. I kind of had that mindset

404
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: at times when when I first got into the talking space.

405
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: It was just so tunnel vision and you just don't

406
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: think or care or worry about another soul. And then

407
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: as you age and you get perspective, you know, in

408
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: his case, married kids, you kind of realized, like, there's

409
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: got to be more to life than this. Even look

410
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: at Tiger Woods early in his career, it felt like

411
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: he hated everybody and wanted to ruin their lives, and

412
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: he did, and he won constantly, and they got nothing.

413
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: He took all the money, he took all the fame,

414
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: and he took all the trophies and the one thing

415
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: I thought was really cool, and it's sad that he

416
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: had that, you know, the car incident which derailed his career,

417
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,479
Speaker 1: because he was playing really well, the version of like

418
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen and nineteen Tiger and what he was going

419
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: to become after before hurting his ankle was kind of

420
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: a more balanced guy, like Justin Thomas had become a

421
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: good family friend. He had just lightened up a little bit.

422
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 1: And I would have to imagine children do that to you.

423
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: Now I already had somewhat of that, And I'm not

424
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: comparing myself to them in terms of successful but just

425
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: in terms of the mindset in the headspace.

426
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 2: I do think as you.

427
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: Get older, you realize, like I think the simple statement,

428
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: there's just more to life than this. I don't need

429
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: to be this consumed with myself. And I think it's

430
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: easy to do in any profession. It could be sales,

431
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: it could be golf, it could be what I do now,

432
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 1: where it's just really like a lot is determined by you,

433
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: right in some of your guy's occupations, like you're very

434
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: dependent on teams and other people, and I am too

435
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: as a podcast, but like, ultimately I could just be

436
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: tunnel vision and it can work. Like as a golfer,

437
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: you can just be tunnel vision not have any friends.

438
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 2: And it can work.

439
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: But I think clearly, and even Keegan says he has

440
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 1: being around these guys and spending more time with them realize,

441
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 1: like you can have good relationships.

442
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 2: And still be a really good player.

443
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: And Keegan's made a ton of money the last couple

444
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: of years and seems like a different guy. And I

445
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 1: know a lot of people used to not like him,

446
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: you know, on and off the course. People thought he

447
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: was a dick. But I think the more and more

448
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: I hear him talk and kind of you find out

449
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: a story like this guy shouldn't have been a high

450
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 1: level PGA golfer coming from the Northeast, coming from you know,

451
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: his situation and playing at Saint John's, and he just

452
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: kind of willed himself and he got himself into a

453
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: position where he kind of got enlightened and he's changed

454
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: and easy guy to root for it. And last, but

455
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: not least, I think the star of this weekend, at

456
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: least the going attraction is Bryson D. Chambeau, Right Scott,

457
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: He's the best player. Rory's as famous as any golfer

458
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: of his generation. You know, obviously Rom and Fleetwood and

459
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 1: these guys are high level guys. Sanders one major's justin

460
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: Thomas legendary. If you're walking through those gates as I

461
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: will be on Friday, like you.

462
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 2: Want to get your eyes on Bryson D.

463
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: Schambeau. And I like Branda Shamblee a lot, Like I

464
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: admire and respect the shit out of his work on television,

465
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: how knowledgeable he is, how willing he is to say

466
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: things and piss people off. Like I think he's great

467
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: at television. I think he's elite at his job. You know,

468
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: so many people on television is the sport I watch

469
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 1: so much of In football, these people say nothing. It's

470
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: like you're not a broadcaster. You're just regurgitating safe takes,

471
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: safe thoughts.

472
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 2: You're so afraid to offend anybody, and we're.

473
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: Talking about football like it's okay to be like, yeah,

474
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: that was a terrible call. And it's such a small

475
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: percentage of people that will say anything to ruffle any feathers,

476
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: and Brandal's kind of made a living of it. I

477
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: think sometimes you become so emotional about a take and

478
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: a thought that it's hard to pivot. And Brandle was

479
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: by far the most outspoken guy about Live and hated

480
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: it and obviously has taken a moral stance about the

481
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: everything that goes on in Saudi Arabia where I Tom

482
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: Brady's got seventy five million dollars, Kyle Shanahan is going

483
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: over to coach the team, McCaffrey, Ceedee, Lamb. All these

484
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: guys are also playing in the event, making millions of dollars.

485
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: You know what, I haven't seen one person say a

486
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: fucking peep about any of their moralities. No one cares,

487
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: but Michelson, DJ Bryson Brooks.

488
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 2: They they.

489
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: You know, basically walk so these guys could run, you know,

490
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: in this situation, Tom Brady's getting seventy five million dollars

491
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: to be an all time quarterback.

492
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 2: For a day. Think about that, and no one cares.

493
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they gave some guys some money to play

494
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: golf and everyone freak. But but but Brando was the

495
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: loudest guy, and he wasn't alone. But I would say consistently,

496
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: no one hasn't pivoted and stayed stronger to their beliefs

497
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: than him. And he hates Bryson d Chambeau like he

498
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: despises Bryson. And I don't know Brando personally besides talking

499
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 1: to him a couple times at the gym, but like

500
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: it's not even arguable. A couple of years ago when

501
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: it was Bryson versus Rory in that US Open, he

502
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: couldn't even hide his disdain for the guy. Obviously a

503
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: large part has lived, but I think like everything he represents.

504
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: He made some comments the other day on golf channel

505
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 1: that went pretty viral about him being a basically like

506
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: a carnival barker and just as show a circus animal,

507
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: and that his YouTube channel, which is extremely successful, and

508
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many people I talked to

509
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 1: that I would not call golf fans that bring up

510
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,479
Speaker 1: Bryson d Chambeau and his YouTube channel. I have known

511
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 1: advertisers who have done deals with him. He is crushing it,

512
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,959
Speaker 1: like the business model of that thing. It's not made up.

513
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:27,239
Speaker 1: And Brandle comes out and says, it's basically all bots watching, like,

514
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: I promise you it's not.

515
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 2: But here's the thing.

516
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 1: These guys that went to live rom Manhattan. It feels

517
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: like there's no weirdness at all. It's like, come on,

518
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: we want you on the team. These guys are all

519
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: taking pictures and it feels like, well, is there anything

520
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: weirdness with Bryson. No, it's actually just Brandle being weird

521
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: about it because I saw some quotes that I thought

522
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: were like, damn, here is Scottie Scheffler on Bryson. I

523
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: was telling Keegan, I feel like Bryson could be like

524
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: the difference for us in a strange way, from the

525
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: standpoint of feeding him into these fans the style of

526
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: Golfee plays. He's been great in the team room. Here

527
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 1: is here is JJ Spahn. I think what people don't

528
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: realize he's made a huge effort being part of this team,

529
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: flying to team dinners, showing up weeks that he's playing

530
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: on Live to where we are on the PGA Tour,

531
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: just to be part of the team, give it his

532
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 1: personality and the brand. He's great with the fans. I

533
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: think that's going to be a huge attribute to this team.

534
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: This week. Here's Xander. I actually read zanders quote, but

535
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: Scotty edited with this. He brings a lot of energy

536
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: and the people love him. I'm excited to unleash him

537
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: this week. That's Scotty Scheffler who's on the team, not

538
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: the gaftin. I'm excited to unleash him. Having Bryson there

539
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: this place, there is no doubt in my mind. I

540
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: think they tioff really early on Friday morning. I think

541
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: it's like seven or seven thirty am Eastern Standard time.

542
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: So I don't know if your boy is gonna be

543
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: at the first t at that early, but I would

544
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: bet pretty big money that the guy that hits our

545
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: first shot is Bryson d Schambeau.

546
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 2: I would be stunned.

547
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: You hear these guys talk clearly they have no issue

548
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: with them, and you know why. And I think where

549
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: Brandle missed the point. I would agree that he would

550
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 1: be a side show if he was not a good player.

551
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: But he wouldn't be here if he wasn't a good player.

552
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 1: But the reason he's here is because for the last

553
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: two years he's won the one major he easily could have.

554
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 2: Won two others.

555
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: He has been a dominant major player, multiple top five finishes,

556
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: I think a six, a tenth, I mean in some

557
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: of those, like he was in the lead and kind

558
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: of blew up to finish six and tenth. I mean

559
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago he was leading the Masters

560
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: after a couple of rounds like this isn't he's an

561
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: elite player, and the way that he gets into it

562
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: with the fans, like there is a huge value there.

563
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 2: And Arnold Palmer had it. Phil has it, and you

564
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 2: could call it.

565
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: You know, no one called Arnold fake. People have called

566
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: Phil fake. And I think some people think Bryce is

567
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: a little fake, whether they are or not. That is

568
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: fun and at the end of the day, this.

569
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 2: Is all supposed to be fun.

570
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of these guys their serious nature,

571
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: it's hard for them to fake that, and they don't

572
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: do a very good job of it.

573
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 2: And ever since he's leaned into.

574
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: It, you know, obviously with the YouTube, which has created

575
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: a brand forum that did not exist before. He's become

576
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,479
Speaker 1: the most likable golfer in the sense of casual people

577
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: want to watch him play, and that is something a

578
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: sport that.

579
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 2: Is golf that is not football.

580
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: Right, casual people watch college football. Like a casual football

581
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,959
Speaker 1: fan that didn't go to the SEC, that doesn't care

582
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: about Alabama and Georgia will watch that game on Saturday night.

583
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: I scheduled my flight to make it back to Arizona

584
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: so I could get like, I could have some time, workout,

585
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: go on a walk or whatever before the afternoon games. Right,

586
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: But I'm not normal. But the power of any good sport,

587
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: in any good business model around that sport is casual

588
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: people pay attention. And it's what Tiger Woods did better

589
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: than anyone. He brought baseball fans, basketball fans, tennis fans,

590
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: football fans that didn't give a shit about golf to watch.

591
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 2: I love Scotti Scheffer.

592
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: He is in a weird way.

593
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,479
Speaker 2: He feels underrated how good he is.

594
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: Like Rory's an all time great player, and right now

595
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: there's a large gap between the two guys Like rom

596
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: and Rory, these are legendary European players, and Scotty's in

597
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: a different universe than them, right now, that's how good

598
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: he is. But he doesn't bring to the table what

599
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: Bryson does. And in an event like this, in a

600
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:49,239
Speaker 1: made for television this is an exhibition which if I

601
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: had my druthers, I don't think I would put you

602
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: against the NFL. I think it's pretty easy fix Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

603
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: Now you're going up against college football. But I think

604
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: to go Friday Saturday and have the singles matches go

605
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: up against NFL Sunday. It's just always and will always

606
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: be a losing proposition. Especially you know, maybe it made

607
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: a little more sense in the nineties when there was

608
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: less on television. I just think in this modern day

609
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: world we live in when it comes to fans, not

610
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: a great idea. So if I could change one thing,

611
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: golf already starts on Thursday, so just go Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

612
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: But regardless, I think Brandle it's gonna be hard for him,

613
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: Like Bryce's not going away. This is a major figure

614
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: in the sport who really gives a shit about golf.

615
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: So his game is gonna be as long as he's

616
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: healthy at a really high level for the foreseeable future.

617
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: Like this is not some flash in the pan, like

618
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,959
Speaker 1: this guy's got a runway and picking this lane of

619
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: going against this guy, I'd be like, you know what,

620
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: just don't really see it with Josh Allen, like if

621
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: that's gonna be listen, I have some bold takes when

622
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: it comes to coaches and players, but I don't make

623
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: a living off. Like didn't love Lamar Jackson early pivoted

624
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: quick on that one, right, I didn't like some of

625
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: these guys like I'll pivot fast, right once you realize

626
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna be good, Like there's no point, Like

627
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: I'm just wrong and it's okay to be wrong, but

628
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: I think this is the dumb hill to die on. So,

629
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: like I said, I think the only value in gambling

630
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: on this I couldn't gamble against America too many. You know,

631
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: I've have had multiple grandpas, fought World War Two, helped

632
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: defeat the freaking Nazis, my dad's brother died in Vietnam.

633
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: America has provided literally everything. I love this country. I

634
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: think about my love for this country on a daily basis,

635
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: and there's nothing more that I love. Are sporting events

636
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: wrapped in patriotism, and this event, which is basically patriotism

637
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: meets capitalism meets golf, like three of my favorite things.

638
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 2: I can't wait.

639
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: But I like their team more than ours now clearly

640
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: home field matters. The crowds are gonna be pretty crazy, though,

641
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: I you know, from what I've heard, I don't think

642
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: these are cheap tickets, so I don't know if this

643
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: is like going to watch the A's versus Tampa Bay Rays.

644
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: But I'm excited to watch the crowd. I'm excited to

645
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: feel just the fervor on the grounds on Friday.

646
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 2: And go America.

647
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: Though again, when you gamble, you gotta take the emotion

648
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: out of it. I think getting the euros at plus

649
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: one fifties pretty good value the volume
