WEBVTT - We got ourselves a game -- C’mon Rory! 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:01.160 No shotgun starting. 0:00:01.280 --> 0:00:05.840 Golf is full of mathematics. There's a lot of setup 0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:07.360 work that we have to do in order to make 0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:10.959 a tournament work. So I'm going to demonstrate to you 0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:19.400 just exactly how we do a shotgun start here and alright, alright, alright, 0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:22.200 dent Man. 0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:38.080 Dart, your greetings, are welcome to a Friday edition of 0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:41.519 The Shotgun Start. It is July thirtieth, Andy, how are 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:42.120 we doing. 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:47.519 Brendan, I'm doing well. We're actually doing a July thirtieth recording, 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:48.240 which is weird. 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:53.000 You know, well, it's Friday morning. I'm at the beach, 0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:55.520 You're safe at home, you're traveling. I saw you're in 0:00:55.560 --> 0:01:00.760 Michigan yesterday. Yeah. With the time change like this, golf 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:02.800 doesn't end till like two three in the morning, and 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:08.039 we figure your time, just get my time, that's sure. 0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:11.040 We figured we would just get to the thirty six 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:14.360 whole mark with our updates. Our eighteen whalle updates are 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.800 even more relevant, have even more punch now that we're 0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.160 so we figured we'd wait, do it Friday morning, get 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.360 it up Friday, as opposed to just talking in the 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:26.039 middle of the second round on Thursday night. I've just 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:28.960 come back from the beach. I think I've carried nine 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.040 beach chairs at one time, feeling that might be the 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.679 peak of my day, feeling great about myself about how 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:35.920 many you know, it's like an Olympic sport for me. 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:38.920 How many can I carry down at one time? Uh? 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:41.040 You are? You got a little bit of punch a 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:43.039 little bit? Are you tired? You worse for the wear 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:44.480 or anything? You good? No? 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:47.840 I was, you know, with our our friends over at 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:52.120 No laying up yesterday and Grand Rapids, beautiful Grand Rapids, 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:55.600 and uh played played some golf and uh, you know, 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:58.560 always good catch it up with those guys and uh 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:03.680 drove back late last night and now I'm now I'm here. 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:07.760 I'm just getting their actual raps settled in. This is 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.320 a question that we had, Actually, I was, I was 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:12.280 discussing this with with Big Grant. 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.840 I don't want to step on their their content coming 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:17.400 if that's the focus of it, But like, are the 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:18.320 rapids out there? 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.680 It was leg This was a this was a question 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.760 I asked Neil and Randy. I said, would you rather 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:29.080 live in bigger Grand Rapids because there's a big rapids okay, 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:32.520 And they said grand Big Rapids is a little bit 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:34.560 further north in Michigan. 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.480 Though. Okay, all right, yeah, okay, okay. 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:40.560 But where would you rather live? Big or grand rappids? 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.679 I think Grand. I think Grand is a little more 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.560 versatile than just big, big little. 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:53.040 I kind of like, how how blunt it is? Big? 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:57.680 But I don't know, you know, I actually don't know 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.720 if there are rapids that that was? That was None 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:02.359 of us knew if there were rapids. 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:06.720 Oh okay, it could be a misnomber could be you could. 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:11.000 Walk They missed opportunity. Nobody walked around downtown and asking 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.120 random people where are the rapids? 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.720 Not yet anyways, maybe that'll be in their next season 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:22.640 of Torres Sauce without the ten in all right, Olympic Golf, 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.680 we're at the thirty six hole mark. It looked like 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.960 the septic tank was on a heater or we're not 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.600 fully at the thirty six hole mark. We got more weather. 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:33.600 You know, there's three or four groups that have like 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.640 three or four holes to finish on Saturday. Would be 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:40.480 in Tokyo, but the x Man Xander goes low perfectly 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:42.000 set up shoots sixty three. 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:49.640 Now the limited the septic tank over over flowed there. 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:52.480 Was maybe a pinhole in the septic tank. Not a 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:56.320 massive league, but you know this started a little bit 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:58.920 of a leak. The sixty three was nowhere to be 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:01.840 found for the septic tank on the second round, but 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:03.920 the x man did post to sixty three. Here he 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:07.400 is loves his limited fields, you know. He just feasts 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:12.720 on the wgc's the shadow leaderboard, Courier Cup events. He's 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.000 set up for maybe a gold medal, who knows, but 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.880 he posted sixty three in the wee hours of the night, 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:22.760 leads Carlos Ortiz by a shot, Meto Pereira, Alex Norin 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.200 and the septic tank, oh as well as Hideki, who 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:29.400 has two holes left to play. Hideki shooting for a 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:33.120 couples ago, could be his own sixty three. Let me 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:33.560 ask you a. 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:41.200 Question, does this event need Xander, Hideki or Rory really 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.920 to win? Not Sabatini, mackail Roy. 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.400 We'll get to low Rory. The game within the game. 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:51.520 Low Rory is electric right now. I don't think it 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.800 needs it. It is what it is, you know, I mean, 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.920 it's it's it's it's still like experiment. 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:03.159 Stenson Rose going one to in the first year was 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:05.000 like a grand slam. 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:09.520 Yeah, but for like whoa, I'm. 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:13.599 Just saying, like to like elite, it was two elite players, 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:18.040 you know, in a showdown, you know at the time, Yeah, 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.880 before anybody gets about like in twenty sixteen, Stanton and 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.120 Rose was just one of the best. Yeah, two of 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:29.000 the best players in the world. So you know that's 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:31.039 kind of what I think about a little bit with 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.040 this is like, obviously the field took some big hits 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.520 late and isn't you know what it could be, But 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:42.080 like it would be really nice for the future of 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:43.479 golf in the Olympics to. 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:50.200 Have a big winner. Yeah, I mean what about world sport, 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:54.039 Like Xander isn't a name yet. I know it would 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.479 be a good story for us, Like golf nuts obviously 0:05:56.480 --> 0:06:00.200 it's great Hideki and Rory would probably be the top too, 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:05.279 I would, I would imagine internationally globally. But here's what 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:08.480 we talk about with like the Masters, right, Like it's 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:10.560 like kind of hard to get a bad leaderboard at 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:13.600 the Masters, right, there's just it's a small field. You 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:15.560 got half of it wiped out because you know they're 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.159 old timers or ameters things like that. This is like 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.520 you'd think half of it would be wiped out because 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.159 there's sort of guys in the fifteen hundreds of world 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:28.760 rankings and then via you know international status, you know, 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:34.520 the whoever the guns Charon'll call and the Christiaanio Hanson types. 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:39.200 But like, it's a mixed bag right now. It's not 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:42.240 it's not that mass I wouldn't say it's like elite. 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:47.040 You got Xander. I guess it's made a late charge. 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:52.440 McElroy got his act together somewhat somewhat, still hitting loose wedges, 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:57.440 blasting you know, putts. He saved one. He almost had 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:01.919 the worst part ever on that drivable par four, but 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:05.080 he hit like a fifteen twenty footer for Birdie coming back. 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.440 But it's just it's it's it's a mixed bag. I know. 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:11.240 Porter was was tweeting about, like the average world ranking 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.480 is like one hundred and fifty something. I'm on the 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:17.080 top ten, and again there's just not a lot of 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:20.000 elite players. I guess to maybe get up there. Maybe 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:22.440 that's part of the problem too, whereas the masters you have, 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:24.000 you know, at least the top twenty five in the 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:27.640 world are definitely in the field. But I'm just surprised that. 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:34.040 Bag there's three former number ones in the top eleven. 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:37.960 What former number one FedEx Cup or what are we 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:38.680 talking about here? 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:48.600 Number stander Rory uh and Bassie Munos, Ry McElroy. 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.600 We need to be clear here, not the BFB who 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:55.880 is knocking on the door. This is a real thing. 0:07:56.040 --> 0:08:00.000 It's it's it's the chases on it. It might be happening. 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:00.840 We'll see. 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.280 If the FedEx Cup was around in two thousand and five, 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:07.920 two thousand and four, Sabo would have been would be 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:10.000 a former number one. 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.520 Oh yeah, he was cleaning up two decades ago for sure. 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:18.160 That's what we're talking about. Two nationalities and two decades 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.280 ago he would have been a number one. All right. 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:26.720 So anyways, I just Kyle Robbins front of the program, 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:28.800 former colleague of mind, makeing jokes like this is a 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:32.400 check Master's leaderboard. You know, this is what you wake up. 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:35.880 It's the magical Keny Open. But I just get got 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.280 a little more juice in the second round. The first 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:41.840 round was with the Septic Tank and Jessey Jay was 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:45.000 an interesting, interesting collection. 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:51.040 Hey with with Rory McElroy not to be confused. So 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:54.400 he goes on to win this week. Can we say 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:59.400 that the that him wearing a hat is affecting his play. 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:03.720 Last time was not where hat was what twenty sixteen 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:04.600 Ryder Cup. 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:09.640 Yeah he was great. He wasn't great. He was good. 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:14.000 I mean Patrick Reed still being a This is like 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:17.640 the amount of attention that Rory's hat gets is unbelievable 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:20.559 to me. I'm getting somebody like I. 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:23.839 Have friends taxing me, like why is any wearing a hat? 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:28.200 I got, you know, I got a thousand word email 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:35.480 from Irish Irish listener like just spouting all these conspiracy 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:37.960 theories about his hat. These people are so worked up 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:40.880 about the hat, whether it's you know, the branding or 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:43.680 he doesn't care for you know, Ireland, or he doesn't 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:47.600 care for you know. They say, well, the counter theory 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:52.320 that this this emailer got was he's self sabotaging himself 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:55.720 because he's not managing the heat, like you play better 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:59.240 in a hat, you're actually hurting yourself with the heat 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.600 and the saw, the septic tank and the full on 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:07.000 bath towel around his neck. On Thursday Friday, the Thursday 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:10.199 first round, it's like eighty seven, feels like ninety seven. 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:14.280 Humidity sounds intense over there right now, but I don't know, 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:17.640 there's a contra theory that the hat is actually hurting 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:20.920 his play because he's not, you know, managing the heat better. 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:23.280 So I just see. 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.560 Something to watch. That's something to watch this week. Let's 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:30.960 see how that plays out. That's that's a storyline to 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:32.160 watch for the Olympics. 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:36.920 More hat content, absolutely absolutely anything else from the Olympics 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:40.520 that you want to talk about. The BFB. Look, he's 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:43.880 talking about the Slovakian shooter, the skeet shooter and how 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:48.839 he's inspired Steve Sands. At three in the morning or 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:52.160 whatever it was midnight, I saw that. I just stayed 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.439 up for that and then I turned in at the beach. 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:59.600 I gotta say, it's so absurd, this whole thing that 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:04.680 is actually like he's in the mix. It's just absolutely ridiculous. 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:08.040 I think it's actually kind of like a farce to 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:11.120 the whole Olympics that this guy is playing under the 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:14.920 Slovakian flag. I love that they're interviewing him about like 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:18.360 being you know, Slovakia, and he's got this thick South 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:22.720 African accent. Like it's just it's just a whole the 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:27.200 whole situation is absolutely incredible. He decided that he wanted 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:31.200 to be a Slovakian citizen at age forty four or whatever. 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:34.880 He just becomes one AND's overnight playing on it. Like 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:37.800 it's just My wife's like, why doesn't he play for 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:40.520 the South African team? And I'm like, well, he's not 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:43.839 good enough, and she started laughing. She's like, oh, so 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:47.480 he just went to Slovakia. I'm like, yeah, basically. 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:53.600 He cares. Though. At least you got someone who cares 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:55.880 to play for these medals. It's an honor, you know, 0:11:56.120 --> 0:12:00.840 it really matters to him. It's it's ridicul He's leaned 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:02.840 into it. He's got it on his hat, shoes, ball, 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:05.760 even when he's not playing the Olympics for Team Slow Anyways, 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:06.920 it's sixty seven. 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:09.800 Is he the best case scenario winning? 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:14.120 I mean the best case scenario are the Koreans, right, 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:16.840 I mean it's hard to like that's real world consequences, 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:23.160 Sea wu Is. I guess, yeah, it's not. It's not 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:26.160 looking great, but I guess the one thing we've seen 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:32.880 is the course does seem ripe for rounds? Yeah, that's 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:35.600 a word I guess they use when talking about course conditions, 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:40.119 I'm told, but it's dartboard. It's dartboard, which is somewhat regrettable, 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:41.560 but hey, they got a lot of rain. He can't 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:45.000 control mother nature. The balls are just there's ball marks 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:47.199 all over these greens. As soon as he land, these 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:51.400 guys are hitting like three woods into par fours and 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:55.640 the ball is just stopping on a dime. And hey, 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:58.319 it's just is what it is. So low sixties rounds 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:02.000 do seem, you know, possible out there. Even on the 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:05.200 weekend we may see even more movement. So anything else 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:08.439 on the Olympics. Look, there's BFB merchandise out there if 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:11.000 you want it, you want to celebrate this absurdity. We 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:14.400 have some shirts left, I think the krew neck sweatshirts. 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:16.800 A lot of dads out there looking forward to leaf 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:20.640 raking season and they're brought a Slava like department krew 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:25.199 neck patrol on the sidelines it's fall soccer or whatever 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:27.040 it may be, and you're you know, you're brought a 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:29.880 Slava sweatshirt. But there's some left, I believe in some 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:31.840 T shirts left too, if you want those. 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:36.000 Friday, what's the what's the national sport for Slovak? Like, 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:37.080 what are they best at? 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:41.320 That's a good question. That's a good question. You know 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:44.120 it's Slovak authorities. You put me on the spot here. 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:46.880 I don't even know. You see, we're on the Wikipedia page. 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:51.679 People keep sending us this to us, Yeah, not to 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:55.320 this is what we don't want attention. Please take it down. 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:58.280 But there's some we are cited as a source with 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:01.400 a reference and a citation and as why his nickname 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:03.640 is the shotguns Star podcast calls it the boy from 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:07.600 brought us Lava on Roy Sabatini's Wikipedia page. So anyways, 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:11.520 that's that's the Olympics. That's your Olympics recap with thirty 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:14.160 six holes to play. What's your ideal winner? What's your 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:17.760 best case scenario? Hideki probably right, Hideki would be sweet. 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:20.920 Oh yeah, without a doubt Hideki winning. I mean what 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.840 a year it would be if he capped that off, right, Yeah, 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:26.720 I think that would be a matter what happened, like 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:29.320 the rest of his career, it's like that year. This 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.280 year would be you know, like I'm not it's not 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:37.280 when Trevino won you know, the US Open and the Open. 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:40.600 You know, he won the Sportsman of the Year. It's 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:44.520 not like on that level. Yeah, but it's like I 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:49.480 think like in terms of like it's a very high 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.240 achieve like in terms of like a season for the 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:57.160 last decade, Japanese player winning the first major championship in 0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:01.360 Japanese golf history and the Olympic gold in his home 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:05.560 country would have to rank like very very high, right. 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:10.320 Yeah, yeah, yeah, it would be a massive, massive achievement, 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:12.840 massive year. They keep getting asked this question like is 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.680 this bigger, bigger than a major, better than a major? 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:17.360 What would you like more? And they're like, I don't know, 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:19.360 it's just different. None of them have an answer for it. 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:23.000 They're like, well, the Brits were like which major? They 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:26.360 like looked at each other fleetwood in cases. So it's 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:28.920 just a different kind of achievement in it's different little box. 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:30.920 What do you think? What do you think they were 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:33.680 they were insinuating with this major? 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:40.680 What do you mean the Brits? Which major? What probably 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:46.200 want they wanted to duncan? I think that probably the PGA, 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.280 maybe the US Open. I would imagine the Masters in 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:52.280 the Open Championship are held there in high regard for 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:57.680 the British. All right, so that's your Olympics. Hey we're talking. 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:01.720 Do you think three on three basketball should be in 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.400 the Olympics, and what would be the analog for this? 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:09.320 Here's Here's the thing about three on three basketball is 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:12.760 that if if the best basketball players in the world 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:16.160 played three on three basketball, they would beat these three 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:19.760 on three teams. So what are we doing. It's the 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:24.440 same sport and the best players are still the same players, 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:28.160 and they're playing five on five basketball. Why why does 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:31.600 the three on three basketball exist? It's enjoyable to watch, 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.160 but like, it's just it doesn't make any sense. 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:38.480 Well, you could say the same for like different swimming strokes, 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:41.280 right or different No, I don't know skiing of that. 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:42.840 Those are different forms. 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:45.520 But this is the thing. If you're the best butterfly 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:49.160 in the best free style, you swim both races. Lebron's 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:52.640 not lasening it up. Kevin Durant a better comp for 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.840 this Olympics. Kevin Durant's not just like playing a five 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:58.840 on five game and then lasen them up for the 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:02.080 three on three comp Like, are you telling me that 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:07.440 any of these teams would beat like Kevin Durante, well, 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:10.840 Kyrie and James Harden if they played. It's a three 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:12.080 on three team. 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:14.960 Part of my nativite but who even is on? I've 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:16.679 watched it. I've seen it on my screen. I think 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:18.680 the women's three on three has popped on. I've watched 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:21.359 a little bit of it. But who even are the 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:25.320 American players? Are they like these G League stars? Are 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:28.120 they like washed out guys? Is is it? 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:28.639 I don't know? 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:31.640 A mile? Yeah? 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:32.440 Pick three? 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:36.120 Yeah, yeah, I do remember that, all right. 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:41.800 Robbie Hummel former Purdue Uh great, isn't he broadcasting? 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:45.800 I think he's like, yeah, he could work, yeah, like 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:48.840 the yeah, okay, I. 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:51.240 Think he's a studio guy. Yeah he's an Olympia. 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:51.920 Oh my god. 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:58.359 Dominique Jones five nine, thirty three year old who played 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:04.000 at Fort Hayes State, Joey King from University of Minnesota, 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:09.120 and Kareem Maddox from Princeton, Like, how did these guys. 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:16.240 That is? I mean, hey, that's kind of almost that's 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:21.359 more farcical than BFB being an Olympian. That's just as absurd, right, 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:25.639 I mean, these guys are not nearly like whatever whatever 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:27.760 the Olympics are, it's own. I'm telling you curious. 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:31.080 Maybe if you're if you're a good great, you know, 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:35.920 but not quite good enough national basketball team you should 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:39.359 send your best players for the three on three so 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:40.520 you could win a goals. 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:44.159 Good point pick off a medal. Yeah, like a like 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:47.600 a Greece or a or I don't know, Argentina. Some 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:49.840 of those teams are good though in actual five on 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:51.760 five I don't know that's a good strategy. 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:55.200 So here, here's my camp. Here's my camp for golf. 0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:57.080 Yeah, what would it be, long drive? 0:18:57.119 --> 0:18:59.280 It'd be like if we know, if we played a 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:03.080 par three competition, like it was a par three tournament 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:07.119 Part three course, but none of the top none of 0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:10.000 the top four hundred players in the world were allowed 0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:12.680 to play, and it was all like many tour guys 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:17.479 and like so the best wench players and iron players 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:19.400 in the world weren't allowed to play. 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:23.920 Sonny Abacoa get him in there. Yeah, you could have 0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:25.880 a gold medal. 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:29.479 You could have Monday Q could be the selection committee. Uh, 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:32.800 you know, he could, he could pick the guys. But none, 0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:35.240 none of the none of the top four hundred players 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:37.199 in the world were eligible. 0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:40.120 That's a good one. I like that. 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:44.280 Anybody, anybody eligible for the Olympics not eligible for the 0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:45.360 part three tournament. 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:48.880 I like that. 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:52.600 Can you just get a poop poop platter of players, 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:57.159 be like, be like the Colorado Open Field. 0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:00.760 It could be really fun to watch. I'd love to 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:03.159 watch a Part three I prefer to watch you know, 0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:08.040 Tiger and Justin Thomas, those types. But anyways, yeah, I 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:11.080 like the idea of a Part three competition. That'd be good. 0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:14.919 Good analog. All right, that's your Olympics debrief. Let's do 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:18.360 an ad read for our friends at Zero Restriction. They 0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:23.800 are celebrating their thirtieth anniversary. This is not Johnny m 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:27.359 lay stuff. This is not some Johnny cume lately. They 0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:31.320 didn't switch nationalities last night. They've been doing this waterproofing, 0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:36.960 moisture management. Now they've got lifestyle stuff for men and women. 0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:39.840 But the women's stuff is sharp. I know your wife, 0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:43.000 my wife. They dabble with that, but they've been doing 0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:44.800 it for thirty years. Thirty year anniversary. I know a 0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:49.080 lot of big brands, you know, big athletic war companies, 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:51.760 jumped into this late and make it. These guys have 0:20:51.800 --> 0:20:55.520 been doing it forever. This is their og mission. They're 0:20:55.520 --> 0:20:59.960 not Johnny come lately. Zero Restriction. They've been pioneering performance 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:03.280 golf apparel for men and women. They remained the pinnacle 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:06.560 of waterproofing and moisture management in the sport today, despite 0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:11.000 all these these absolute you know, behemoths trying to elbow 0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:11.560 their way in. 0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:16.200 You know what's interesting for the golf the term pinnacle. 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:19.679 You know, for the golf fan, right, what are the 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:22.520 places I played golf at yesterday? I had a just 0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:25.639 a you know, the range balls were terrific because it 0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:27.280 was just all random golf balls. 0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:28.560 Yeah, I was. 0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:32.280 Hitting, I was hitting some pinnacles in there. You know, 0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:35.359 there's some ballattas in there. It was, it was wonderful. 0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:38.080 But then you think about a pinnacle, it's not a 0:21:38.080 --> 0:21:39.439 good connotation in golf. 0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:44.000 That is, they should send a sleeve of pinnacles with 0:21:44.040 --> 0:21:48.879 every purchase if they wanted some lean into being the pinnacle. Yeah, 0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:52.000 zero zero restriction. Send a sleeve of pinnacles with every 0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:54.880 purchase of one hundred dollars or something like that. Lean 0:21:54.920 --> 0:21:58.959 into that pinnacle. They they are the official outwear provider 0:21:59.040 --> 0:22:01.000 of the Solheim Cup as well, so. 0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:03.960 That listen, you know, nobody wants to nobody wants to 0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:08.880 hear this, but falls kind of around the corner. It sucks, 0:22:08.880 --> 0:22:11.280 sad what I feel like I haven't had a summer. 0:22:12.000 --> 0:22:12.879 It's the best season. 0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:17.840 What do you mean, faully, that means real winter's coming, 0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:20.800 you know. But this is my point. My point is 0:22:21.520 --> 0:22:24.679 you probably need a new little outerwear thing. They got 0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:27.440 zip ups, they got quarter zips, they got all kinds 0:22:27.480 --> 0:22:27.919 of things. 0:22:28.119 --> 0:22:32.960 That's best. The champutty, the Champootie is the one that 0:22:33.080 --> 0:22:35.560 says that's really hot, very very popular. It's a mix 0:22:35.640 --> 0:22:38.119 between a windbreaker and a hooded sweatshirt, which you know, 0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:39.880 I guess you're allowed to wear hoodies on the course. 0:22:39.960 --> 0:22:42.359 Now I'm told there's a big debate about that. You know, 0:22:42.800 --> 0:22:45.040 can you wear a hoodie? The Champooti is a big one. 0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:49.640 So falls oh those opposition is that you know, far 0:22:49.680 --> 0:22:51.160 and wide that were so vocal. 0:22:53.000 --> 0:22:56.960 The straw then the field of straw. Then USA twenty 0:22:56.960 --> 0:22:59.240
