1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on? Everybody? John middlecop go

2
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: low pod, little US open reaction, Wyndham, Clark wins, Rory

3
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: just comes up short again, Fowler falls apart, lacc, A

4
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: lot of thoughts on the crowd, on the vibes the

5
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: NBC broadcast, which we are gonna have to dive into

6
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: because that was no other way to put it. An abomination,

7
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: So a lot of reactions. Here's the plan. We will

8
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,639
Speaker 1: have US Open podcast today. We will have a football

9
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: podcast on Tuesday. Aaron Murray's gonna join me. We will

10
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: do some mail bag questions and then we will have

11
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: another podcast. Rumors have it there might be a tour

12
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: PGA tour player coming on the show for Wednesday, and

13
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: we'll just keep rocking and rolling. So fire in those

00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: dms want to get on the football mail bag is

00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: just my name. We will do a gol mail bag

16
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: probably on Wednesday at golopod. Fire in there, so we're

17
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: gonna keep the content flowing. Middle of June, middle of summer.

18
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: Hopefully everyone had a good Father's Day. Happy Father's Day

Speaker 1: to all my dads out there. Hopefully you got treated well,

20
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: dinner made for you, your kids did their chores, did

21
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: the dishes, and life is good because that was always loved.

22
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: The US Open makes me miss my dad. It's a

23
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: pretty special day when you know, whoever wins it usually

24
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: hugs their dad. It's always a cool moment. It's definitely

25
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: a powerful moment for sure. Other than that, any housekeeping.

26
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: Check out the YouTube page, download the AMP app, and yeah,

Speaker 1: my Friends at Game Time. Wyndam Clark is the champion

38
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: and we will dive into him an incredible story, awesome win.

39
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: Dude's a stud I mean, he's established himself now as

40
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: not just a lock ryder cupper for the US but

41
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: just one of the better US players right now. Right,

42
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: Scotty's clearly the best. You know, I would put Brooks

43
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: right up there. You know, DJ show and shot signs

44
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: of life. We got a lot of question marks with

45
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: our core guys. And Wyndam Clark wins a month ago

46
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: at an elevated event and then wins the US Open,

47
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: So dude, bombs it. He can work it both ways.

48
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: That power cut stud. We'll dive in to hear him

49
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: in a second because that was a cool win. I

50
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: do think the story of the day is ry McElroy.

51
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: This is basically his second major in the last four

52
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: where it felt like he should be the champion if

53
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: he makes a putt and he just cannot make a putt.

54
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: Now there's a difference in not winning, I think and choking.

55
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: He did not choke today. He shot even part. So

56
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: did Wyndam Clark, so did Scotti Scheffler. He played fine,

57
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: he was peppering greens, but one thing he wasn't hitting

58
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: it that close, and like on eighteen. I've never played

59
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: on the PGA Tour, but it's pretty clear you gotta

60
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: be able to work the ball both ways. But mainly

61
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: especially with shorter irons. I would say from one hundred

62
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,839
Speaker 1: and fifty to two hundred play a little buttercut. It's

63
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: something that it feels like Rory struggles with right, like

64
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: it can't be argued. I will not hear the argument

65
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: that he's not an all time great talent. He's an

66
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: all time great player when you factor in the majors

67
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: and when you factor in the winning on the PGA Tour.

68
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: But as of the last couple of years, it's very,

69
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: very difficult. The thing that makes golf different than a

70
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: lot of sports. Right in basketball, the Miami Heat lost

71
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: to the Denver Nuggets. Right in football, the forty nine

72
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: ers lost to the Eagles. The Bengals lost to the Chiefs,

73
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: so they finished, you know, technically like third and fourth

74
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL. That sucks. Obviously it's better than being

75
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, but it does not feel good for

76
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,799
Speaker 1: those teams. Just like in golf, if you're Roy McElroy,

77
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel good. Even though he beat the entire

78
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: field except Wyndham Clark. He had a very very successful week,

79
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: just like he did at the Open last year at

80
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: Saint Andrews. But for him, the standard is much higher. Right,

81
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: like Steph Curry, Lebron like now the Chiefs, like Alabama football.

82
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: You could argue Georgia football. Now it feels like it's

83
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: winner go home. You know, you're not getting bread point

84
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: for second. This isn't about the money. He's got an

85
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: unlimited amount and he's just a guy who feels like

86
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: he can't make a putt on Sunday. Now over, I

87
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 1: would say the last year he's had some Sundays that

88
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: just didn't look right. I thought he was relatively fine today,

89
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: he just can't make a putt. And it's one thing. Listen,

90
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: anyone that's played golf, sometimes you're lipping out, you're leaving

91
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: it a little short. It happens. I thought, like, especially

92
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: the front nine, he wasn't even close. Like his putts

93
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: never felt like they had a chance. You watch Skyty today,

94
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: who's having a really rough season putting. He had a

95
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: ton of putts where they ended up not going in,

96
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: but you felt like within a couple feet of the

97
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: cup it was gonna fall. And that was not the

98
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: case with a lot of Rory's putts. It just wasn't. Now,

99
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: he hit a couple wayward drives late. You know, on seventeen,

100
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: got a little lucky he went into the number two fairway.

101
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 1: But like the driving with Rory McElroy is the least

102
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: of his worst. It's one of the greatest attributes in

103
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: the history of golf. It's pretty clear if he's ever

104
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: gonna get a make. If he just made some putts,

105
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: he would have six majors right now. He would have

106
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: won the Open and he would have won the day. Well,

107
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 1: what was the difference in both of those? Wyndam Clark

108
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: came through, made some big putts. Obviously a short game

109
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: was incredible, and obviously at the Open, cam Smith, like

110
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: today camp Miss cam Smith makes everything when he has to.

111
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: Roy McElroy's the opposite and is if you just keep

112
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: putting yourself in these positions, are you bound to win?

113
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: You know? Because ultimately now Rory for the next several years,

114
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: it's four times a year he can win regular tournaments,

115
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: he can win the FedEx Cup. No one cares, it

116
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: does not matter. He's only gonna be judged. And this

117
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: is like a lot of NBA players, it's like, do

118
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: you win it all? Do you win a major? Right?

119
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: And right now it feels like eh, But it's hard

120
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: to have faith in him because it does not feel

121
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: like like the putts are gonna fall. It just doesn't.

122
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, I don't feel like he can

123
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: hit the little buttercut when he has to. And I

124
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: would say the buttercut in these big tournaments. One, it

125
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: holds a lot of these greens, and two in some

126
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: of these pins, it gets you a lot closer. And

127
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: he really struggles with it. He does because he's a

128
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: natural draw of the drawer of the golf ball. But

129
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: a lot of guys that do that, like you watched

130
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: Scotty Scheffler on eighteen. Now, obviously Scotty couldn't win it, right,

131
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: he was technically out of it at the time unless

132
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: Wyndam Clark had an all time disaster and Rory like

133
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: shanked it over the green, but he played a beautiful

134
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: little low cut into the green, played it to the

135
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: back and it rolled down the hill, and he had

136
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: a really good look at Bertie Rory. Meanwhile, like pulls

137
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: a fucking eight iron and he's forty five feet away.

138
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: It's like that just can't happen. Now, before we could

139
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: get to the eighteenth hole, but it was all the

140
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: pots all day that never really had a chance, and honestly,

141
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: he got a little lucky winda, missed a couple short

142
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: putts and got I don't want to say screwed, but

143
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: you know, on whole eight he hit a pretty unreal

144
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: second shot and there's like that crazy drop off of

145
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: the green and he ended up going into you know,

146
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: the baranka deep in the rough and it took him

147
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: a couple of shots to get out, and he still

148
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: made an incredible bogie. You know, if he just lands

149
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: on the green two putts, you know, he kind of

150
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: easily wins this tournament. But it does feel and a

151
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: lot of people in my mentions in my DMS are

152
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: just I don't want to say crush Rory, but it

153
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: feels like he's not going to get it done and

154
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: it's hard to argue with that. I didn't have much

155
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: faith coming in today. I didn't have much faith coming

156
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: into the week. He actually made it closer than I thought,

157
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: but today was and I was rooting for him once

158
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: it was clear Ricky was out of it, but he

159
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: just I don't know, he just can't get it done

160
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: right now in these big tournaments on Sunday for whatever reason.

161
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not counting the FedEx Cup last year

162
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: against Scotti Schefler. It's about the majors for this guy

163
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: who you know had a chance and I guess technically

164
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: still does to be like an eight nine major guy.

165
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: It feels like it's going to be very, very difficult

166
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: for him just to eventually ever win his fifth I mean,

167
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: we're talking about a decade gap now, and you look

168
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: at these guys like Wyndam Clark played better than he

169
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: did today. He just did. I don't see how anyone

170
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: could argue that. As you watch today, you know, especially

171
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: after a couple holes, it was like Wyndam Clark looks

172
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: better right now than Rory right. He hits it just

173
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: as far as he does he can like that. Buttercut

174
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: really really matters. It matters in these big tournaments. And

175
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are saying this is

176
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: a draw corse. And obviously there are shots that force

177
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: you to hit a draw either off the tee or

178
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: in your second shot, depending on where they have the tea.

179
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: But when the fairways are rock hard, when the greens

180
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: are rock hard, the buttercut lands a little softer. And

181
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: Wyndam Clark was awesome. He lives here in Scottsdale. He's,

182
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: you know, one of those guys, a little max homa

183
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: E in terms of clearly had fallen on some rough

184
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: times a couple of years ago, battled back mentally is

185
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: his downfall because you watch the power in which he has,

186
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: the touch in which he has. He's really good around

187
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: the greens, and today he was just very under control.

188
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: And listen, I mean he hit the farthest drive of

189
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: the day on seventeen, three hundred and fifty yards. I

190
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: had the shot tracer on eighteen for him. I don't

191
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: know what was going on. It looked like it was

192
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: going to the Pacific Ocean, and all of a sudden

193
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: it landed in the fairway. Now that is the biggest

194
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: fairway on the course, but just an incredible moment. It's

195
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: always really cool. I think most of us, none of

196
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: my guys were gonna make money unless cam Smith had

197
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: an incredible you know, to rattle off eight birdies a

198
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: day and somehow win the tournament. But I think most

199
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 1: of us were either rooting for Ricky or Rory, and

200
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: I listen, kind of rooting against Wyndham, even though how

201
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: do you root against the guy that lost his mom

202
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: in college, who thought about quitting the game, who's falling

203
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: on rough times, and who's battled back to become, like

204
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: I said earlier, one of the best US players and

205
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: just bombs the ball. I mean, absolutely mashes it. Had

206
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: a couple times a day where most of us, anyone,

207
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: I don't care if you shoot seventy two or you

208
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: shoot one hundred when you're playing well and you're in

209
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: a money game or you're in a big you know,

210
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: in a big match against the body, and all of

211
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: a sudden it starts unraveling. It can be lonely out there,

212
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: and I can't even imagine. In the US Open, he

213
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: had a couple of moments a day where it felt

214
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: like uh on seventeen when he hits it in the

215
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: bunker and he has to basically hit a lob wedge out,

216
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: You're like, God, he's gonna bogie this hole. And what

217
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: does he do? He knocks a wedge five feet and

218
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: makes the putt, And you know that was turned out

219
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: to kind of be the difference, right if you factor

220
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: in the last couple of holes where Rory could have

221
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: come back. But it's always cool to see a first

222
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: time major winner. We've had obviously a ton over the years.

223
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: This one feels like this guy, if he keeps playing

224
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: like this, is going to be a factor for a while. Right.

225
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: It's not like he just had some insanely hot putting,

226
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: you know, weekend or day. This is a guy that

227
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: won a month ago at the Wells Fargo, who just

228
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: pounds the ball, who was just a fucking ball striker.

229
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: And to me what really struck or stood out watching

230
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: him play is some guys that are just really really long,

231
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 1: they kind of lack touch. This guy, I felt very

232
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: confident the more you watched him around the greens like

233
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: this was not fluky. I'm not saying this guy's gonna

234
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: rattle off three or four more majors, but I expect him,

235
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: unless something traumatic happens or he has an injury, to

236
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: be a major factor on the PGA tour for a

237
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: while because that game translates, right, and it really does.

238
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: So congrats to him. That was fun to watch. What

239
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 1: wasn't fun to watch is I don't want to say

240
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: the guy choked because he he's had a fantastic season,

241
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: He's resurrected his career. I have a lot of respect.

242
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: It would have been really, really easy, and I think

243
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: Ricky falls under a category with Justin Rose, with Jason Day,

244
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys that have won this year, older guys.

245
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: Rick Ricky's a little younger obviously than Justin Rose, but

246
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: you know, somewhat similar age to Jason Day. I think

247
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: he's a couple years younger than him to take the

248
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: Live money. And all of them had, especially Justin Rowe

249
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: or Jason Day, and Ricky kind of falling on hard

250
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: times as a player. You know, super famous guys. Ricky

251
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: is one of the more popular players on tour. It

252
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 1: felt inevitable. I don't know the guy personally, but it's

253
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: like Ricky, He's gonna end up at Lift. And not

254
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: only did he not go to Live remember that the

255
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 1: big meeting they had. I gotta forget where, but he

256
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: flew with Tiger Woods to the meeting. Maybe it was

257
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: in Boston, and it was like, got Ricky's in it

258
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: to win it here and the guy saw some ugly

259
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: parts of professional golf, right. I mean, he was one

260
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: of the best players on the PGA Tour seven eight

261
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: years ago. He's finished in the top three of every major.

262
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: He easily could have won majors in his younger years

263
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: on tour. He's clearly one of the more popular slash

264
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: marketable players on the PGA Tour, and he just battled

265
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: and he was shooting sixty or sixty two on Thursday,

266
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 1: which was pretty incredible start. But you watch coming into

267
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: today like it was hard. I did not envision him

268
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: shooting seventy five. I wasn't confident he was going to win.

269
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: I thought Rory McElroy was going to win, but I

270
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: didn't see a seventy five coming, and he clearly did

271
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: not have his a game. He was all over the

272
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: map and it was a rough watch, it really was.

273
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: He ended up, you know, finishing right next to guys

274
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: like Tommy Fleetwood, and it was tough man, because I

275
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: think Ricky Fowler is a really really easy guy to

276
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: root for. You know, you say a lot, you never

277
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: really know these guys. Happy Father's Day to everyone out there.

278
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: For those of you with young children, it's like, do

279
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: I really want my son to look up to said

280
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: professional athlete? You don't actually know what they're doing behind

281
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: closed doors. We've been let down so many times over

282
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: the years. There was that visual last night on Saturday

283
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: of Ricky who was tied for the lead. And you

284
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: know it's not essentially close to his hometown. I mean,

285
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: he's a southern California I put under an umbrella. It

286
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: was a home game for Ricky Fowler, and he was

287
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: signing autographs well into the pitch dark for little kids.

288
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: And that's always been something. I have no personal interactions

289
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: with Phil beside like seeing him at golf tournaments, but

290
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people over the years have said that's

291
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: it can be a little fake some of his things.

292
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: No one's ever said that about Ricky Fowler. So I

293
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: think he is a very very good, easy guy to

294
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: root for. It just from a golfing standpoint, and then

295
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: when you factor in the variables of him not even

296
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: being in the US Open last year, he was an

297
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: alternate that the first alternate in and he ended up

298
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: not getting in. He was a guy that was struggling

299
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: to be like it, this is gonna be a top

300
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: one hundred player. Was this guy gonna keep his PGA

301
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: torqu card. Clearly he's gonna have access because a career earnings.

302
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, seventy five, that was rough. It really was

303
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: sixty two, sixty eight, seventy seventy five he's can't feel good,

304
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: can at all some other thing working down on the leaderboard.

305
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: It's pretty crazy. Scottie Scheffler's floor, his floor is just

306
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: incredibly high. He was I said it coming in him

307
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: or Brooks, you had to put money on. I couldn't

308
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: blame anyone that did. And Scottie scheffer you know, he

309
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: couldn't have really won to day, but it felt like,

310
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: I mean, Koepka was a disaster and finished eighteenth. This

311
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: was a Scottie Scheffler didn't have his a game and

312
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: finished third. He's really good man. I think him and

313
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: Cam Smith, and this is where liv comes into play

314
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour. Misses Cam Smith. That guy is one

315
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: of the greatest putters we've ever seen. His look, the

316
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: the you know, the the hair flowing out of the

317
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: back of the hat. He's just a fun player to watch.

318
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: He's a fun player to gamble on because at any

319
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: moment he could rattle off five straight birdies and he's

320
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: somehow you look up. He finished fourth. It's just I

321
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: had a heavy bet on him to win, but I

322
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: never totally felt out of it because at any single moment,

323
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: the guy can just make six or seven birdies. His

324
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: putting is just awesome. Tommy Fleetwood and Ricky Fowler finished

325
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,719
Speaker 1: tied for fifth. That's pretty nuts. Obviously, Fleetwood shot sixty

326
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: three today hair flowing ball strike and Jesse I thought

327
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: this tournament was fun. Now let's dive into a couple

328
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: of things, not regarding the actual play. I think two

329
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: of the main subjects are Let's start with the course,

330
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: and I said this last week. I'm probably the poorest

331
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: individual that's ever played LACC this course, having just been there.

332
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: I played several I guess not several, but I've played

333
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: Olympic Club, for example, which has hosted several US opens.

334
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: I went to my first ever golf tournament in nineteen

335
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: ninety eight. I think they hosted again in twenty twenty eight.

336
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: Olympic Club is a much bigger property than LACC, and

337
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: like lacc's it's less exclusive. They have more members, but

338
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 1: just in terms of its exclusivity, it's a pretty exclusive

339
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: golf course. Like not everyone just gets to play it, right.

340
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,719
Speaker 1: It's harder to get on LACC, But in terms of fans,

341
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 1: it is much more equipped to handle a lot of people.

342
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Country Club is just not now some of

343
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 1: the information coming out, because a lot of people were

344
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: talking shit, going where are the fans? Well, anyone who's

345
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: been in southern California, the traffic is atrocious and the

346
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: number one thing anyone thinks about when they're in Los

347
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: Angeles is how do I get out of here? Right?

348
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: How do I beat traffic? And I think a lot

349
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: of times you looked up Friday or Saturday and people

350
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: the stands weren't completely full. I just thought, well, I

351
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 1: bet people are trying to beat the traffic, which is crazy.

352
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: It's a big event, but just a reality of the area.

353
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: It turns out on a daily basis. They give twenty

354
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:15,959
Speaker 1: three thousand tickets and fifteen of them are four basically VIPs,

355
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: and then there are nine thousand for general admissions. But

356
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 1: rumors were floating that the Country Club bought forty five

357
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: hundred of those, so there are actually only forty five

358
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: hundred GA tickets available. And my first thought is like,

359
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 1: not totally surprised. I'm really not. You think the elites

360
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: at La Country Club want the pores on their property,

361
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: They just don't. And a lot of people I saw

362
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: on social media streets were going, why I don't care

363
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: how exclusive you are and Augusta is a good example.

364
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: One of the most exclusive clubs in the world, and

365
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: they take a lot of pride in the patrons, right,

366
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of them there, and when you

367
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 1: watch the Masters, it feels jam packed. Well, when you

368
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: were watching this tournam be like, where the fuck are

369
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: all the people? This wasn't the lead event. This to

370
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: me kind of symbolized. I would just say California leads

371
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: talk a big game. They actually don't want to interact

372
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: with those people. They tweet about it, they facebook post

373
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: about it, but they don't actually want them around their shit.

374
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: And I've defended LACC a little bit. It just is

375
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: not equipped to handle that many people. Now. Ultimately, I

376
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: think this that I think the US Open is better

377
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: off going to courses like this. The overwhelming majority of

378
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: US that play golf will never see and there are

379
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 1: a ton of other courses, whether it's a pine Valley

380
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: or a Cypress. If you could ever hold a sweet

381
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: event there, you should do it. I don't care if

382
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: there are fifteen people on the property and a lot

383
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: of the players. Matt Fitzpatrick defending champion was talking a

384
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 1: bunch of shit, hovelin Kopka, and I think a lot

385
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: of it stems from lack of people, lack of buzz.

386
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: These guys are used to now at this time for

387
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: the sport, playing in some venues with a lot of people,

388
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: a lot of people buzzn't and that wasn't the case

389
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: that this was a rich event. That's what it felt like.

390
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: And the problem is this is the US Open, where

391
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: really any single human with a low handicap can qualify.

392
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: It's why so many guys that the longest day in

393
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: golf is at thirty six holes, and for every Sergio

394
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: Garcia that qualifies in some random guys that you've never

395
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: heard of also do that. And I think it's tough.

396
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: I don't really mind it, but I understand the pushback.

397
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: But I'm not stunned at all. If you got LACC

398
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,239
Speaker 1: was gonna let every Tom, Dick and Harry come on

399
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: to their property, you got another thing coming. This was

400
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: never going to happen. So when I saw the line

401
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: that they bought half the GA tickets every day, I

402
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 1: was like, of course they did, But you know, just

403
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: it is what it is, and I find it kind

404
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,479
Speaker 1: of funny. But I understand people that have worked up

405
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: about it. The one thing I am worked up about

406
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: at the broadcast was atrocious. That is one of the

407
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: worst four day broadcasts in the history of sports television.

408
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: NBC a couple of years ago, Fox wanted out of

409
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: the golf game and they had paid basically one hundred

410
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: million dollars for every US Open and they sold it

411
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 1: to NBC for reportedly about forty million dollars. So NBC

412
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: paid forty cents on the dollar for this property. Yet

413
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: when you watched it, it felt cheaply done. I don't

414
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 1: know this for a fact. Someone tweeted this at me,

415
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: but it does make sense that buzz we heard all

416
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: week long was a plane flying over instead of getting

417
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: the blimp, which according to social media, could be wrong.

418
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: Don't fact check me on this, but it does make sense.

419
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: It's pretty expensive. What you can do your own plane

420
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 1: for much cheaper to get some aurial shots, and they

421
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: were just the plane was going in circles. What makes

422
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: sense because that's all we heard all week long, the buzzing,

423
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: and then half the time if you watch, especially before

424
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: the leaders teed off, they would not have shot tracers.

425
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: This is the US Open, this isn't the Yetti Classic.

426
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: Where the Rainbow Sandal Invitational. This is the US Open

427
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: at LACC, and you're going cheap when you bought it

428
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: for cheap. I just do not understand it. Now, I'm

429
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: a capitalist. Anyone who listens to my podcast knows we

430
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: got some ads. We got bills to pay. I'm not

431
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: anti ads. I understand they're part of the deal. But

432
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: here's the one thing. On podcasts, you want to skip

433
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: an ad, you can press fast forward. For those of

434
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 1: us that are watching the golf live, we have no choice.

435
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: The other thing, you don't have to listen to my podcast.

436
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: You can listen to someone else. Many podcasts worth they're salt,

437
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: got some ads. This is a business. It's free right

438
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: Well for golf, for example, Peacock hosted, which I understand.

439
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: If I own rights to a live sport and I

440
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: had a subscription business, I would try to drive you

441
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: that subscription business through my sport. ESPN Plus does it

442
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: right with UFC and golf. Yet when I watch ESPN

443
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: Plus for the PGA Tour, I don't have to watch ads.

444
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: Why because I pay ESPN Plus ninety nine dollars a year.

445
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: So I'm watching the Peacock and I'm paying ten ninety

446
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: nine a month or whatever my girlfriend is because she

447
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: has comcasts and I'm watching and there are just NonStop

448
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: ads on Peacock. You double dip in, motherfuckers, screw you, like,

449
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: what are we doing? The commercial load was atrocious. It

450
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: was just it was overwhelming. You can't double dip on

451
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: the playing through. So basically you show an ad and

452
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: show the guys that they continue to play. But when

453
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 1: that ends, then to just go to commercial it's just

454
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: an all time fu. It really is. And a lot

455
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: of their commercials were promotion for their own shows, so

456
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: clearly what does that mean? They didn't get the ad sold,

457
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: so they're basically just using that to promote, which I understand.

458
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 1: You guys run a business. We promote Draymond show or

459
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: Sherman show or Colin show. It's called cross promotion. But

460
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: to do it over and over and over again, like

461
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: I got news for you. I'm thirty eight years old.

462
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: I'm not watching any of your show's NBC besides Sunday

463
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 1: Night Football. You never get my eyeballs. I don't give

464
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: a shit what you put on television. As I'm watching

465
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: the US Open, I'm never coming. And deep down, you

466
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: know that just show me the golf. And I also

467
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 1: understand that golf is more difficult to show than football,

468
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: right because they would never miss a snap. Patriots chiefs

469
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 1: well on Saturday. The final group was Tee and Off

470
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: Clark and Fowler and they come back from break and

471
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: the first thing I think Dan Hick says is apologize

472
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: technical difficulties. We just missed Wyndham shot. It's right down

473
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: the middle of the fairway. Can you imagine them coming

474
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,479
Speaker 1: back from break. It's like Patrick Mahomes just throw an

475
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:39,199
Speaker 1: interception to incredible interception by Joey Bosa picked them off

476
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: of the line of scrimmage. Sorry we missed that. Here's

477
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: the replay, Like screw you guys, be better. This is

478
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: what you guys do for a business. This is unacceptable

479
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: and forever the traditional media outlets have been able to

480
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: do whatever they want because they had us by the balls.

481
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 1: But they are gonna die a slow, slow death. They

482
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: just will, especially in golf. Piff behind him. Now you

483
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 1: got to answer to Yostra. That should not be tolerated.

484
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: Take your I've been saying this forever. The game's changing.

485
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: Put it on YouTube TV and want to say YouTube

486
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: TV just put it on YouTube. No commercials. Pretty easy

487
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: to do. If you don't do you need NBC's money.

488
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: If they're gonna pay forty million dollars a years, have

489
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: yaster fund it, throw it on YouTube. I'd be cool

490
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: with that and let NBC simulcast zero ads, zero ads.

491
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 1: I know I'm being a little unrealistic, but that was

492
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: just the commercial load. Paul Azinger feels like a nice guy.

493
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: He's terrible, he really is. He's got some Nick Faldo vibes.

494
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: Feels a little out of it, he really does. And

495
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: I'm a big believer that. I think it's kind of overrated.

496
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: Like listen, I talk for a living. I didn't play

497
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I think I can talk football against

498
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: sucking anybody. And you know our listenership shows that, right.

499
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: I don't think you need Nick Faldo to call, you know,

500
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: be the lead guy just because he has six majors.

501
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: If he's not any good, just because Paul Asinger has hosted,

502
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: you know, been a Ryder Cup captain and successful PG Tour.

503
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: If he's not any good, I don't care. Trevoral Immoman

504
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: won a major, but if he hadn't, he'd still be

505
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 1: way better than those guys like, yeah, I guess you

506
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: know you need some credibility, do you like Smiley Kaufman

507
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,360
Speaker 1: never won a major. I can guarantee you this, he'd

508
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: be better than Paul Aisinger. Paul Asinger kept saying things like,

509
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: you know, that's not gonna roll back, that's just the

510
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: wrong side, and then it would just roll back and

511
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: be five feet like, Paul, have you walked these screens?

512
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: Have you put in the time, because that was a

513
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: big knock on Nick Foldough never was out in the range,

514
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: never walked the course. He just relied on well, I

515
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: played this, you know for thirty straight years. Well you

516
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: haven't played it for the last fifteen, and some of

517
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: your comments do not add up. That's what I felt

518
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: like I was watching today. It just was not good.

519
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 1: It was It was really, really poor, and I think

520
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people in the media are gonna beat

521
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: it up, and I think sometimes there are gonna be

522
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 1: a group think. You know, I think it's easy for

523
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: everyone to pile on. I think everything that everyone says

524
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: is just I think NBC through an all time middle

525
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 1: finger to us, the consumer, to us the fans. They

526
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: hate us. There's no other way to justify or even

527
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: put into reality what we all just witnessed for the

528
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: last four days that they do not give a flying

529
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: you know what about any of us, because that was

530
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,199
Speaker 1: that was a disgrace. I mean it really was. I

531
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 1: can't believe how terrible that broadcast was. It was. They

532
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: would never in a million people would get fired left

533
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: and right if they did that to the National Football League.

534
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: And I understand the PGA tory at the NFL, but

535
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: don't you just treat your operation. You have some standards,

536
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: don't you have, like this is a big deal. I understand,

537
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: you know twenty million people ain't watching, but still five six, seven,

538
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: four whatever, this is still on your main channel for

539
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: back to back days, really hors or eight days, and

540
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: that's what you do. Be better, guys, be better, Have

541
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: good week, Happy Father's Day, everybody. The volume
