1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? How are you doing?

2
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: Typically on these Wednesdays, we will we will do a

3
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: Golo podcast, which we are going to do today, but

4
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 1: I did want to start with football because the combine,

5
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: which I kind of had Fomo not being there today,

6
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,599
Speaker 1: but a lot of GM's talk today and there were

7
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: a lot of stories flying fast and furious out of

8
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: the out of the combine. So I'm the podcast is

9
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: going to go like this. I'm gonna for like thirty minutes,

10
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: hit on a bunch of football stuff from Miles Garrett

11
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,279
Speaker 1: to the Tush Push to you name it, everything that

12
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: the Cousins being a thirty million dollar back. I mean,

13
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: give me a break. So we will hit on that

14
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: and then I will go into Go Low and it'll

15
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: all just be on the same podcast where talk a

16
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: little bit about golf, who I'm betting on this weekend

17
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: in the formerly known as the Honda Classic in Florida,

18
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: and at Golo Pod. At Golo Pod is how we

19
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: do the mail bag on Go Loo. So if you

20
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: fire in the DMS, you got any golf questions at

21
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: Golo Pod, no football mail bag questions, Because yesterday we

22
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: put out a podcast it was like over an hour

23
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: and a half long of just mail bag questions. So today,

24
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: a little football, a little golf, and we'll call it

25
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: a day. But that is the game plan. So if

32
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: Let's dive in, and I want to start with the

33
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: big story that one of the best players in the

34
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: NFL asked for a trade and sometimes and we've seen

35
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: a lot of trade requests over the years from a

36
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: lot of different players. When I was living a couple

37
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: of years ago in the Bay Area, Deebo Samuel made

38
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: an impassion trade request and he ended up not getting traded.

39
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: And he never was going to get traded. Last year, Brandon,

40
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: I you kind of did. But then every time they

41
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: would trade him, be like, no, I want to stay.

42
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: I thought, watching Miles Garrett do the rounds of the

43
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, he and I mentioned this to Colin the

44
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: other day. I thought it was like, very measured and honestly,

45
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: when you heard him talk, you're like, yeah, I understand.

46
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: If I was him, I would want to get the

47
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: hell out of here too. And I think one major

48
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: difference in football relative to let's say basketball, that when

49
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: a play they're asked for a trade. In the NBA,

50
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: it sure as hell feels like they get traded. And

51
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: constantly when a guy makes a demand, you'd be like,

52
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: why do you want to trade this guy? And then

53
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: a week later, two weeks later, the offseason, whatever, he

54
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: always gets traded, and it feels like a player run operation. Hell,

55
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler, who has been incredible on the Warriors, you know,

56
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: lost it on pat Riley and basically gave up, stopped

57
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: doing anything. They kept suspending him, and then he was traded.

58
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: Like that's not usually how the NFL works, you know,

59
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: they don't let the players, at least historically shove them around.

60
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: It's a management run operation. And listen, these things can

61
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: ebb and flow in every individual case, you know, is

62
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: separate from one another. I'm not saying guys haven't demanded

63
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: trade trades in the past and haven't been traded, but

64
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: in this situation, you get a guy of this level,

65
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame player, a guy who has a chance,

66
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: if he stays healthy, to go down as one of

67
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: the great players ever. As a pass rusher, which a

68
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: lot of people would argue is the second most important

69
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: position behind quarterback. You're like, God, what are the Browns

70
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: going to get from him? Because this guy sounds and

71
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: pretty impassion put out a statement and then quadruple down

72
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: like he doesn't want to play there. Well, I'll say

73
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: this about the Browns. They have not been like, yeah,

74
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: we're open to offers. You know, give us a call.

75
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: We'll call you right back. This is our asking price,

76
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: their general manager has said a while back, and he

77
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: quadrupled down today like we're not portraying this player that

78
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: is not in the plans for the Cleveland Browns. And

79
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated to watch the way this plays out because

80
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: i think they get an absolute all for him. I've

81
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: said over and over, I'm thinking multiple first rounds, a

82
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: second round, and probably a player. I mean, you are

83
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: getting a lot for a guy that is twenty nine

84
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: years old. Typically when you see that type hole it's

85
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: usually a guy twenty five, twenty six years old. You know,

86
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: once upon a time Khalil Mack was traded from the Raiders,

87
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: it was a second contract. Usually it's the second contract guys,

88
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: Like if the Cowboys were to put Micah Parsons truly

89
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: on the trading block, you would get a ton because

90
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: you're getting a guy going into their fourth fifth season

91
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: who you are giving the first big contract. Miles Garrett

92
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: is a guy who would get his third contract, rookie contract,

93
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: then he got a massive contract. Now he wants a

94
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: third contract. So usually when you get that third contract guy,

95
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: you don't get as much. I don't think that's the

96
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: case here, And I think if you're the Browns, listen

97
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: what I've said when it comes to Cleveland, I totally

98
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: understand where Andrew Berry's coming from. You should never be

99
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: in the business of getting rid of guys like Miles Garrett,

100
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: whether you're a one win team or whether you're a

101
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,799
Speaker 1: seventeen win team. Like the whole point of the sport

102
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: is to acquire, extend and have guys on your team

103
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: like Miles Garrett. But the Browns are in a bad spot.

104
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: And the other thing Andrew Berry mentioned today is like

105
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson isn't playing this year and let's face it,

106
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: he's never playing for the Cleveland Browns again. I actually

107
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: feel Deshan Watson will never play in the NFL. Again.

108
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: But I think this is the time when you can

109
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: blow this bitch up and you have the number two pick,

110
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: you can trade him for Ahule. I know it's not convenient,

111
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: it's not something you want on your resume, but this

112
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: is not a Luca trade where it's like why did

113
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: you do this? Like this guy is asking for a trade,

114
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: and I think this is a move that is not

115
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: easy to make. But they are going to have every

116
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: team in the NFL, and let's face it, most of

117
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: the good teams willing to put a ton on the table,

118
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: like willing to trade you so much where it's like

119
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: you are having serious meetings. And I wouldn't bet my

120
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: life savings on them trading him, but I think there's

121
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: a pretty good chance within the next couple weeks Miles

122
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,679
Speaker 1: Garrett is traded. And listen, I'll say this about the Browns.

123
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: I think Andrew Berry and Kevin Stefanski like that is

124
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: a good tandem. I do think those guys know what

125
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: they're doing, and if they trade Miles Garrett, it's not

126
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: because like it was just their idea, like this is

127
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: something he's pushing, so it's it's understandable when you make

128
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: a move that, Let's face it, Browns fans are not

129
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: gonna love. I mean, he's one of the more talented

130
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: players the franchise has ever had. But when I look

131
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: at the Falcons in this story I saw today. I

132
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: saw this early in the morning when I was running

133
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: around do another life task. I just saw the headline.

134
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: Raheem Morris says Kirk Cousins is gonna be the backup.

135
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: And when I'm getting ready for the show, go to

136
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: I go to Roadal World. They always they are the

137
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: fantasy website, but they're kind of like a website version

138
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: of Twitter where they just throw together a lot of

139
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: stories and I can accumulate a lot of information fast

140
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: because they kind of aggregate it all. And the GM

141
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: also said that like we plan on making Kirk Cousins

142
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: the backup quarterback. I shorted the Falcons last year just

143
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: partly because everyone was hanging a left. Everyone's like, the

144
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons are winning the division. I'm like, no chance,

145
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: And I was right now. Granted I picked the Saints,

146
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: but I just bet against like, are we sure Kirk Cousins,

147
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: Rahem Morris, this general manager that no one knows if

148
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: it's any good, are just going to win ten to eleven games?

149
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: And it didn't happen. But today, like Kirk Cousins has

150
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: a no trade class, he is owed I think ten

151
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: million dollar bonus here in the next couple weeks, you

152
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: would be on the hook for Kirk Cousins making twenty

153
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: seven zero point five million dollars to be the backup, which,

154
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: going into a season, would be the highest paid backup

155
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: in the history of the league by a wide wide margin.

156
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: Typically backup quarterbacks not like bridge quarterbacks. Sometimes bridge quarterbacks

157
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: don't win the job. A guy you give ten million

158
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 1: dollars or fifteen million, maybe they could beat out by

159
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 1: a rookie like that happens right, or what happened to

160
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins last year, benched mid season. I'm talking about

161
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: a guy that you go, he's not gonna be getting

162
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: number one reps in OTAs or training camp because he

163
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: is the backup making twenty seven Never has happened and

164
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: never will happen. Now, maybe one day if the cap

165
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: is like nine hundred million dollars, but that's embarrassing, and

166
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: you acting because they're saying this, trying to get teams

167
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: to well, if you really want him, you're gonna have

168
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: to steal them from me. He's not. You can't trade

169
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: him without Kirk Cousins saying yes, he's got that thing

170
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: called a no trade clause that you gave him. And

171
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: if you're Kirk Cousins, why would you want your salary

172
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: to go on the next team's books when you can

173
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: just force them to cut you and then you still

174
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: get paid that same amount of money and you just

175
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: go to the other team for a little bit more

176
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 1: money and you allow them to sign more players and

177
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: have a better team. I think the Atlanta Falcons have

178
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: no fucking clue what they're doing. None. I mean I

179
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: think there. I thought today was pretty embarrassing. I really did. Now.

180
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: It's one thing to talk tough if you do have

181
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: some leverage, right, but they can't trade him without getting

182
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: a thumbs up from Kirk Cousins. Listen, I think I

183
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: saw Arthur Blank at TGL. He's an investor into the

184
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: PGA tour now and he sitting there smiling. He has

185
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: to be questioning, and listen, I get like they want

186
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: to save a little face here, like, you guys fucked up,

187
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: you were wrong on this one. It's a disaster. And

188
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: saying this today, I thought of all the things that

189
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: were said in the Combine, I thought this was the

190
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: craziest thing by a country mile set. I actually don't

191
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: even think there were that many things said that I thought, well,

192
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: that's kind of weird. This was one of those like

193
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: what the fuck? I think the falcons like that organization.

194
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: Give me a break, ain't gonna make the playoff. Listen.

195
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: I'm a Michael Panox guy, so I'm looting for Michael Pennix.

196
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: But I think the organization he's in, I mean, this

197
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: guy comes from Washington where he had Kaylin de Boor

198
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: all those wide receivers and just a well run operation

199
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: to this thing, honey, what a joke. The forty nine ers,

200
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 1: there was a story by Diana Russini, who I texted

201
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago to have on the podcast.

202
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: She was going on vacation and she's like, you want

203
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: to have come on? Are you at the Combine? I

204
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: was like, I'd love to have you, but I'm not

205
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: going to combine, So hopefully we'll get her sometime after

206
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: the combine. She's I like Diana a lot, and I

207
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: appreciate and admire any reporter that covers football that gets

208
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: their information from general managers and coaches, because ultimately those

209
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: people are the decision maker. And she had a I

210
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: don't know if it was a tweet. I saw the

211
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: headline that she said teams have called in disgust or

212
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: reached out to the forty nine ers about their willingness

213
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: with Brandon Ayuk. Would they trade him? And I thought,

214
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: are they trying to get Brandon Ayuk for like nothing?

215
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: And the forty nine ers have already given him a

216
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: bunch of money in the signing bonus, so they get

217
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: him for cheap? Because my take would be one under

218
00:11:58,360 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: no ciru unless the forty nineers get like a fur

219
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: round pick, which I don't even think they would get

220
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: a second day pick given that his leg was snapped

221
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: last year. He didn't just tear tear his ACL like

222
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: he had torn other ligaments. It was a bad injury.

223
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: And he makes a ton of money that while the

224
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: Niners would bear the majority of like the cap disaster,

225
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: you would still be owned in the next couple years,

226
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: paying him some cash. I just think it makes no sense.

227
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: And listen the forty nine ers regret signing him, Yes

228
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: they do, and did they obviously the injury. No one

229
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: wanted that to happen team player, like no one wishes

230
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: that upon any but it did happen, and now they

231
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: have this situation that's not ideal. But to me, he

232
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: is he is not a tradable player. I just I

233
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: can't imagine them trading a guy injured who is gonna

234
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 1: ruin their cap space. I think I saw my guy,

235
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: David Lombardi, who covers the forty nine ers. He's good.

236
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: The forty nine ers have like four five million dollars

237
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: in cap space, and if they were to trade him,

238
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: they would lose like thirty of that with dead money

239
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: because of this. So that's that's not happening. The other

240
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: thing in forty nine Olan is happening. It was Tim Kawakami,

241
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: who is just a mainstay in the Bay Area, like

242
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: our biggest opinion columnist, covers everything but specifically the Warriors

243
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: and the forty nine ers. Sis. He's as dialed as anyone.

244
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: I was listening to his podcast a couple of days ago,

245
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: taking my little dog for a walk well needed, she's

246
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: got to lose some weight, even though I think the

247
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: vet told us that caloric deficit for dogs is actually

248
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: more important, especially with small dogs than walking. I don't

249
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: know if that's true or not, but it was believable

250
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: and low. He's like, yeah, I don't even need to

251
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: walk well. The point is Kyl Kammi on his podcast

252
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: said that Kyle Shanahan was gonna go to the Combine

253
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: because Kyle Shanahan is just always too good for the Combine.

254
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: I think since like twenty nineteen or this first season

255
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: they made the Super Bowl back it would have been

256
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty he was at the comb I don't think

257
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: he's been back now. Granted that they've been playing late

258
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: in the season, it's like they're in the super Bowl

259
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: or the conference championship game. He's on vacation or whatever.

260
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: John Lynch is there. I'll give you a little bit

261
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: of a pass, even though I still think you should go.

262
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: You go six and eleven and you're basically off for

263
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: the last two months. If Kywa Kami was told something

264
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: and then Kyle Shanahan decided not to go to the Combine,

265
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: that's pretty embarrassing. But Grant Cohen, who Cohn who also

266
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: covers the forty nine ers. He's got this big YouTube channel.

267
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: He is going up to every Him and Kyle get

268
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: after it a lot, like they have butted heads many times.

269
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: He is going up to every coach at the press conference,

270
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: like Dan Campbell, Sean Payton, Andy Reid and asking them

271
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: why they value the combine basically as like a bit

272
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: taking shots of Kyle, which honestly, I thought was incredible,

273
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: And I hope Kyle goes to Combine because if he's not,

274
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: like that's it's not just a bad look like that's

275
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: low level. You know, the two months you have the

276
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: eleventh pick, your franchise is somewhat turmoil. You had an

277
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: awful season. You gotta be there. I'm sorry, Like if

278
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: I was texting someone today, Andy Reid, Nick Sirianni played

279
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: in a game like two weeks ago, and Andy Reid's

280
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: the best coach in the NFL, who's beating you twice

281
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: in Super Bowls. He's gonna go. He's gonna walk right

282
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: into the Hall of Fame and he goes to Combine

283
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: every single year for the last three and a half decades,

284
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: like Belichick for thirty years go on to the combine

285
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: every single year if those guys can go and find

286
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: value in it. And even Sean Payton and every coach

287
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: reiterated this thing when Grant Cone was doing his thing.

288
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: They said, I want to meet the players, Like that's

289
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: the value you get, Like Andy's not in all these

290
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: meetings with agents. That's Brett's job, right, But when you

291
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: have I saw some coaches say it was forty five.

292
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: It used to be sixty. Maybe they shortened. I think

293
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: they elongated the time from fifteen to twenty minutes, but

294
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: you don't get as many meetings, so you get forty

295
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: five meetings now instead of sixty, but they're all twenty

296
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: minutes long instead of fifteen. That could be the case.

297
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: Don't quote me on that. It's a really big deal

298
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: to meet these players, just like in any human interaction,

299
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: and they listen. It's become controversial, you know, with the

300
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: Jamie Diamonds and everyone in the world of you know,

301
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: come back to the office. But there are some things

302
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: in life that if you're going to invest millions of

303
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: dollars into a human being, I would rather meet them

304
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: in person than do a zoom and I just I

305
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: hope that this story right now that he's not going

306
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: turns out to be false and he ends up showing

307
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: up in a couple days. He doesn't need to be

00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 1: Another big topic today the tush push. A lot of

339
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: coaches took some shots of the toush push. The Green

340
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: Day packers, I guess reached I don't know if the

341
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: because in a couple of weeks the owners meetings basically

342
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: got the ball rolling of trying to ban the tush push,

343
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: which I don't know exactly how they would do, maybe

344
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,479
Speaker 1: not allow you to be right behind the quarterback, whatever

345
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: makes the rule. My overall take on the tush push

346
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: is I don't love it because I do feel it's inevitable.

347
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: But I also go, if it's so easy to do,

348
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: shouldn't every team be able to do? But of course

349
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,959
Speaker 1: they can't. And even Andy Reid said, like, I understand

350
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: the injury concern, but like, if we could do it,

351
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: we'd do it, you know. I mean it's like, ah,

352
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I don't feel that much. I would say

353
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: pity or I feel for these other teams that can't

354
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 1: stop it. It sucks, And it definitely sucks when your

355
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: team's playing them or you're betting against them and they

356
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: go into that position. I saw Spytech to say today, well,

357
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: unless you've got vidavea, you're probably not stopping it. But like,

358
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: I just think everyone's bitching and moaning over this thing

359
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: that it's like, I don't know, And even Siriani was

360
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: kind of said he was insulted by it because of

361
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,959
Speaker 1: how much time they have spent, I would say, building

362
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 1: up this play, practicing the play, and let's face it,

363
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: a huge Their big point of difference on the toush

364
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: push is their quarterback. He can squat like eight million pounds.

365
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: And we saw Josh Allen, who in theory should be

366
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: like one of the bigger, stronger quarterbacks of all time.

367
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: Yet they couldn't execute a short yardage their version of

368
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: the to push quarterbacks sneak to save their life in

369
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: the biggest game of their season. So I think everyone's

370
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: all worked up. And that's what happens, like anytime you're

371
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 1: dominating in life. This happens in the private sector in

372
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: business all the time, people coming at you. You know,

373
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: for a long time, depending on who was in charge,

374
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: the government starts coming after you, your local government comes

375
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: after you, people start suing you. It's like usually people

376
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: aren't suing companies that aren't doing well, they don't have

377
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: any money. They're going after the big dogs. No different

378
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: in sports when you start dominating and you win big.

379
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: You know, they say the wind blows the hardest at

380
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: the top of the mountain, and that's what's happening here

381
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: with the Eagles. You know, the Jags. I watched them

382
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,479
Speaker 1: the headline a couple of days ago that they hired

383
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: thirty four year old from the Rams, who I'll be honest,

384
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: I'd never heard of I watched a little of his

385
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: press conference yesterday with Shod Khan. I watched some clips

386
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: today of him at the combine. I do think I

387
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: understand what they're doing. They just they interviewed a bunch

388
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: of guys that were highly viewed around the league, Guys

389
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: that were number twos or threes at Super Bowl and

390
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: you know, playoff level teams, and they hired the most impressive.

391
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: But they are going into this season with two guys

392
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: who have never done the role, who are thirty four

393
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: and thirty nine years old, and even hiring Tony BASSELLI

394
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: to be like kind of right next to them, as

395
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: you know. I just I don't even know what technically

396
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: his role is. I mean I've seen some people say

397
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 1: he's in charge of a lot of like PR and

398
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: logistics and some other stuff and just to help out

399
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: the coaches. And all three guys report to the owner.

400
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,959
Speaker 1: None of them have ever had these roles, And I

401
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: think sometimes guys start from scratch, right, Let's use the

402
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: forty nine ers for example, Kys Shanna had never been

403
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: a head coach. John Lynch had never been a general manager.

404
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanna had been an offensive coordinator for like over

405
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: a decade, and John Lynch was a Hall of Fame

406
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 1: player who then started studying with John Elway and the

407
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: Broncos as he was doing broadcasting stuff. So I just

408
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: think it's a lot of pressure on and even when

409
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: Sean McVay got hired to the Rams at thirty one,

410
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: thirty two years old, like, let's need have been a

411
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: general manager for a while. You know, Howie had just

412
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: took Sirianni right, no one, I'd never heard of Nick Sirianni.

413
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: Well what, it was a huge event for the Eagles.

414
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: Howie Roseman had done the job for a long time.

415
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 1: I just think it's very, very difficult in this profession

416
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: to kind of learn on the fly when you're under forty.

417
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean it can't be done. And I'm not against

418
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: hiring younger people, but I feel like, look at the Raiders.

419
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: I think John Spytek, who has been one of the

420
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: most highly valued up and coming future gms for a

421
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: long for several years now, like he once Adam Peters

422
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: got hired last year, it felt like he was that

423
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: guy like John Spytech was bound to be a general manager.

424
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: He'd be the first to tell you it's a huge,

425
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: huge benefit as a first time general manager to every

426
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,479
Speaker 1: day work with Pete Carroll, who's been ahead coach for

427
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: like three decades. So it's like, I think the Jags

428
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 1: obviously these two individuals are talented. Liam Cohen's a good

429
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: play caller. This this Gladstone character, I'm sure is really bright,

430
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: really impressive. It's tough, man, It's it's really really hard

431
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: to learn on the job, especially at a place that

432
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: is like historically pretty dysfunctional and loses a lot. John

433
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: Schneider's called Geno Smith his guy and said they're gonna

434
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: be contract negotiations. I don't know, man, I think that

435
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: one's pretty risky. You know, you're talking about a guy

436
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: who's on a three year, seventy five million dollar contract,

437
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: that who played pretty well over the course of a

438
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: couple of seasons. It was a big reason you were,

439
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: you know, a playoff level team and winning nine ten games.

440
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: You know, if he was making twenty five million, what's

441
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: he gonna want thirty five forty million dollars? And I

442
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: get that's kind of the going rate, But I don't know.

443
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: That feels tough, man, That feels tough. It'll be fascinating,

444
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 1: maybe He's just saying that because that's easy thing to

445
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: say right now. But I think that Seattle's kind of

446
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: in this risky spot. Three for seventy five incredible deal. Now,

447
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: it's like, is Geno Smith giving you a deal? I

448
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 1: don't know. The Ravens and Justin Tucker. I think it's

449
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,959
Speaker 1: pretty simple when it comes to sports. If you are

450
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: a great player, you can get away with a lot.

451
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 1: And I'm not talking just about doing stupid shit showing

452
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 1: up late. I'm talking about like criminal activity like this is.

453
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: We're not teaching moral lessons here in pro sports. There's

454
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: a black and white business. You're trying to make money

455
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: and win games. This is very like there are two

456
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: sides to the coin. People act like there's a bunch

457
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 1: of gray area. Yeah, there's only gray area. When a

458
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: guy sucks, it's like, yeah, we'll left to play out,

459
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: We'll cut him right. The reason DeShawn Watson was having

460
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: all those opportunities with the situation he was in was

461
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: because the guy's view. You know, people around the league

462
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: viewed him as a superstar. Deshaun Watson is one of

463
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks in the league. If Deshaun Watson was

464
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: a bad player and wanted to trade out of Houston.

465
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: It would not have been the same. No one would

466
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,959
Speaker 1: have touched him. So why I believe now with all

467
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: the toxicity around him, he will never play another snap

468
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL. If he was good, I would not

469
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: say that to me. Justin Tucker. I think the Ravens

470
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: this thing, you know, like Deshaun it's just he said,

471
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: she said a lot of women coming out against him.

472
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: They would have defended him. If he's in the peak

473
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: of his powers, prime, one of the great quarter kickers,

474
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: you could argue, the best kicker of all time, most

475
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,959
Speaker 1: talented kicker. I think they would have no problem let

476
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: the judicial system play out, which, in fairness, media members

477
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,719
Speaker 1: get so mad like these the teams like, this is

478
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,479
Speaker 1: not our job. We have to let it play out.

479
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. We don't know. We weren't there.

480
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 1: But he's not good anymore, and he missed a ton

481
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: of kicks last year, so I think, like I'd probably

482
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: just cut him, you know, I wouldn't even want the

483
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: headache and listen, sometimes that's unfair. It happened to Matt Ariza,

484
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 1: who was the rookie punter who the fucking girl made

485
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: it up. Now this was only one. This was one

486
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: human being story against another, he said. She said, Deshaun

487
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: Watson and Tucker is like a long list of women

488
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: with the massage therapy stuff. I just think you start

489
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: missing kicks like this, se Yah, you ain't worth the

490
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: headache anymore. A couple other things. Khalil Shakir, who I

491
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: think someone asked me about in the mail bag, signed

492
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 1: a extension today, thirty two million dollars. Really good player,

493
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: excellent after the catch, just a stud player from Boise State.

494
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: I think teams love doing contracts like this. There's a

495
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: winning player, a guy who's extremely productive, a guy, especially

496
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: a guy who's gonna catch eighty balls a year. I

497
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: think last year was seventy four balls. Wouldn't shock me

498
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: if he averages seventy five to eighty five for the

499
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: next decade. And you can get this guy thirty two

500
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: million dollars guaranteed. Now he had a lot less yards.

501
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: You caught the same amount of balls last year and

502
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 1: he got seventy five million dollars guaranteed. So it's like,

503
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: these are the type contracts you love to sign. And

504
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: when you get a guy who's drafted in the mid rounds.

505
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: It's hard for them to, you know, turn down that

506
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: type of money. And last but not least, you know,

507
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: I saw Zach Taylor getting interviewed today. I think he's

508
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: in a tough spot because the quarterback's putting a lot

509
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: of pressure on him. He wants all these guys resigned.

510
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: We've talked a lot about this. I think you've got

511
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: to be very very careful about having a really really

512
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: top heavy team. Now, it's easier to do when Joe

513
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 1: Burrow's your quarterback. We've seen it with the Cowboys. When

514
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: you know, when Dack's your quarterback, it can be much

515
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 1: more of a slippery slope. So if you are going

516
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: to have a top heavy team, if you got Mahomes,

517
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: if you got Lamar, if you got Josh, if you

518
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: got Burrow, it's like much easier to stomach. But I

519
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: think it's one thing to have a top heavy team

520
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: with like four guys at different positions. I think when

521
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: you get a redundant position, and ultimately that's what t

522
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:02,239
Speaker 1: Higgins and Jamar are, I mean different players, But like,

523
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 1: do you want to invest that much money in the

524
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: wide receiver position. I watch Howie Roseman talking to his

525
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: press conference. He says they have an unhealthy obsession with

526
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, an unhealthy obsession with the line

527
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. They constantly think about offensive lineman and defensive lineman.

528
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean they don't value skill positions. They have

529
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: multiple wide receivers, but like neither of them, like Jamar

530
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 1: Chase is going to get probably as much money as

531
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: aj Brown and DeVante Smith guaranteed got combined. So I

532
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: just think it's I'm all for re signing guys you

533
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: draft and you develop and that are big time players

534
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: and high character guys. But this is also a business

535
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: and you have to make difficult decisions. And I think

536
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and this is that you should be uncomfortable because

537
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: anytime you got a guy named Joe Burrow and you're

538
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: missing the playoffs like that, that's an organizational failure. But

539
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: this is a very, very un This has to be

540
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: very uncomfortable for the organization. Can I tell you about

541
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: my friends at Mando that they've taken care of me

542
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: for a long time now, And listen, it's Arizona. It

543
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: gets really hot and I get very sweaty, and that's

544
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: where my friends at Mando. They come in with the

545
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: deodorant wipes. How about the deodorant spray and just the

546

Speaker 1: whole body deodorant that you just put a little bit on.

Speaker 1: You can put it under your pitch, you can put

548
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: on your arms, you can put on your balls. And

549
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,680

00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: Pod won't be too crazy long. We'll hit on a

567
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: couple things that have crossed my mind. The last I

568
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: would say week in regards to golf, the Netflix show

569
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: is out. I haven't watched any of it yet. TGL.

570
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: I mean they are playing these on Mondays, Tuesdays. Feels

571
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: like they're always on early in the week now on ESPN.

572
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: And then just some thoughts on this week from a

573
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: gambling perspective, the Honda Classic formally know now is the cognizance.

574
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: And then I will do as we do every week.

575
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: You will take questions at golo Pod is the Instagram.

576
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: At Golopod is the Instagram. So firing those dms get

577
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: your questions answered here on the show very very easy

578
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: to do. But this won't be I mean, let's face it,

579
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: last week the Mexico Open, I mean it's got to

580
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: be in the running for the worst week of the year.

581
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: Not that I wasn't entertained at the end. I mean

582
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: a dude hit the ball in extra holes. I don't

583
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: know if it was out of bounds or a hazard.

584
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: But it should have been gone and it kicked off

585
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: the tree and it ended up winning. I was actually

586
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: I watched the couple extra holes. I watched probably the

587
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: last couple holes of regulation because there was nothing else on.

588
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: But it was rough. So I just think, luckily we

589
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: get away from that week. This week's not great, but

590
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: then next week is the Arnold Palmer Bayhill, which to

591
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: me I'll always remember with Bryson hitting the ball over

592
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: the water I think as a whole six and reaching

593
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: his arms that's right in the air, playing with Lee Westwood,

594
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: miss Olbryson. But I think that does get to the

595
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: kind of where we're at. I mean, last night, I

596
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: am trying to put together playlists for the wedding, and

597
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: I'm on the couch. It's like nine o'clock at night.

598
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: I just have any something on in the background, and

599
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: I see TGL, which I enjoy like as just background

600
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: television like I would a baseball game, Like you kind

601
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: of pay attention when you want, you don't pay attention

602
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: when you want. Billy Horschall, Justin Thomas, you know, Colin Moore, Cowa,

603
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: Guys talking some shit to each other, Guys having a

604
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: good time. Some of the guys just having no business

605
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: being in this league. They say nothing. I mean, this

606
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: is entertainment. And then today I saw all the clips

607
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: coming out about Netflix, which some are cool, right like

608
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: Keegan Bradley being announced as the captain in front of

609
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,479
Speaker 1: all the dudes, to Rory McElroy talking about his divorce,

610
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: and it kind of hit me. It's like, I've always

611
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: had this thing when young players. Happens a lot now

612
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: in college, but definitely just young athletes use the word

613
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: like my brand, my brand. My brand is discussed a

614
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: lot in modern day sports. And when I was growing up,

615
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: I would say the biggest brand in the history of

616
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: sports still to this day, I mean it's going strong

617
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: is Michael Jordan and the Jordan brand. Well, the Jordan

618
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: brand got built on the back of a guy rattling

619
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: off MVPs in championships and becoming the greatest player of

620
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: all time. The Jordan brand does not exist if Michael

621
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: Jordan is not viewed as arguably the greatest athlete in

622
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: the history of American sports. And then I think of

623
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods, and this carries over to golf, who built

624
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: a massive brand on the back of winning majors and

625
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: kicking the shit out of everybody. So as he got

626
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: bigger and bigger, Nike Golf took off. Tiger Wood's Golf

627
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: became a massive video game right there when I was

628
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: a kid with Madden. Well, why was Madden so big?

629
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, because they had John Madden in the NFL,

630
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: something that had been around for decades and built up

631
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: and had momentum. I remember playing WWF that video game.

632
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: It was really big. They also had a massive brand.

633
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: And I'm watching TGL and going like, I get why

634
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods and Rory want to do this. But then

635
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: when they were playing on the West Coast, these guys

636
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: would fly from the West Coast to Florida and then

637
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: fly back to the West Coast and play golf. It's like,

638
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: doesn't pat Riley have this thing called keep the main

639
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: Thing the main Thing? And I think you have individuals

640
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: whose brands are big enough to kind of break out

641
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: and do that stuff. It does feel and listen. I

642
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: don't blame Netflix for producing these shows, but like, the

643
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:08,280
Speaker 1: reason Wide Receiver the NFL show really worked was because

644
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: the NFL's brand and business was booming. I'll promise you this.

645
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 1: The basketball one did not do as well, and I'm

646
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 1: watching golf and I just go are we Like, shouldn't

647
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: we just slow down a little bit and figure out

648
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: how to keep the most important part of this entire

649
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: business apparatus in focus, which is these tournaments which are

650
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 1: not working out. And you know, Tiger Woods and Adam

651
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: Scott and Jay Monahan and Yosser, who is Saudi Arabia's

652
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 1: business lead was with Donald last week. It's like, I

653
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: don't know where you stand on this, but anytime that

654
00:35:54,800 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 1: anything comes up with potential coming back together and working

655
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 1: in unison and all becoming under the umbrella, like I've

656
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: heard it enough, Like tell me when you have figured

657
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: out the situation. Like I'm tired of hearing about all

658
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: the ingredients. I just want to eat the meal at

659
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,959
Speaker 1: this point. So yeah, it's cool to see a clip

660
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: of like Tiger Woods walking around the White House trying

661
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: to get a deal done. But like, until this deal

662
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: is done, I don't give a shit about this anymore.

663
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: I did a couple of years ago. It was cool,

664
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 1: it was fresh. Now it feels a little played out,

665
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 1: Like I'm tired of hearing about Jay Monahan and Yoaster

666
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: trying to iron out some stuff. The other thing is

667
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: that we just assumed that these players, like, are you

668
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: sure that John Rahm and Bryson D. Schambeau and Brooks

669
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,760
Speaker 1: Keepgar just gonna want to play fifteen sixteen eighteen events?

670
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: I hope so, but I'm not sure. I mean, John

671
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 1: ram just made several hundred million dollars. Bryson D. Chambeau

672
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 1: a huge part of his brand now is YouTube. It

673
00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: changed the perception of him as a human being. Well,

674
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 1: the tour doesn't allow that stuff because they have these

675
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: enormous contracts, which are great for the tour, bad for

676
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: the networks because these ratings are low and I think

677
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: they're just in this weird spot and all of a sudden,

678
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: I'm looking up. We got Netflix shows about the PGA Tour.

679
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: We got TGF of them hitting into a net It's like, guys,

680
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 1: can we just figure out the tournaments first? Can we

681
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: just get that right? The reason football is so big

682
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: is because of the fucking games. Then off that you

683
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 1: can build, right, Like the Kelsey podcast became a phenomenon

684
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: because Travis Kelce was on the best team in the

685
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: NFL oh and is one of the all time great

686
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: tight ends in the history of the NFL and was

687
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: catching touchdowns every Sunday. Jason Kelce one of the all

688
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 1: time great centers for I don't know, one of the

689
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: best teams in the NFL. It's like you're running out

690
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: some of these players, like the casual person doesn't know

691
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: who these guys are and tgl Like in theory, I

692
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: should be one of the diehards, like I love golf.

693
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,879
Speaker 1: I watch all these tournaments and I'm watching like every

694
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: like at this point in time, it doesn't really do

695
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: that much for me. I would imagine if you were

696
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,959
Speaker 1: there in the arena, it'd probably be kind of cool.

697
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: But I'm like, this is all going on, like we're

698
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: playing the Mexico Open with live playing in front of

699
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: twelve thousand people. This feels broken. This doesn't feel right.

700
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: This feels like we don't know what we're doing. And

701
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 1: obviously that is the case, which where we're at with

702
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: the splitting of all the talent in a sport where

703
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,879
Speaker 1: the talent pool isn't that big of people that matter,

704
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:43,479
Speaker 1: you know, the NFL couldn't handle if let's say, let's

705
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 1: say top ten quarterbacks. I just took Mahomes, I took

706
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 1: Jared Goff I took Josh Allen, and I took Jalen Hurts,

707
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: and I put them in another league. Guess what that

708
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 1: would be really bad for the NFL. At first, it

709
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 1: would be cool in the sense of it'd be a

710
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: huge talking point, everyone have an opinion, everyone would watch

711
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: see what it looks like. But after a couple of years,

712
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:08,240
Speaker 1: it would just suck. It would not be good for business.

713
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: And that's where we're at right now. Yet every time

714
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: I look up, it's like, oh, a new Netflix special.

715
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,800
Speaker 1: Like I've said over and over like that, I've watched

716
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: the previous couple and they didn't really do that much

717
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: for me. They really there were a couple episodes in

718
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: each which I thought were solid. And I'm not blaming

719
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: the producers or the idea behind it. It's just hard

720
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 1: golfers aren't that interesting. Some of these guys are just

721
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: not very interesting. And if they don't give you unlimited access,

722
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: which at this point in time, these guys are so

723
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: rich they don't give you unlimited access, it kind of sucks.

724
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: It's not as powerful, and like it does feel a

725
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: little bit like they get to control the message, and like,

726
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: listen the Scotty episode, I'm sure will be kind of

727
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: entertaining with him getting arrested, but it's like that happened

728
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 1: now eight months ago, like that story. It'd be one

729
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 1: thing if that came out three weeks later, like that's

730
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: we're almost in Arch of twenty twenty five. That was

731
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: in the summer of twenty twenty four, and I just

732
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: wonder if we're kind of at this point where it's like,

733
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: if you don't get this figured out, none of this

734
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: other shit matters. And I just wonder if it's diluting

735
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: the product a little bit. And it's really starting to like,

736
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: as someone that cares a lot about this, who consumes

737
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: like I probably watched more Mexico Open than like ninety

738
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: eight percent of golf fans, Like it's it's sad, like

739
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: I do like watching golf tournaments even when I don't

740
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 1: even know, Like I didn't even know the guys in

741
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: the league. I've never heard of them. I had never

742
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: heard of whoever the guy that won Campbell cool story

743
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: and it was awesome to watch him cry after with

744
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: his girlfriend. Never heard of the guy I couldn't not

745
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: only could I not point him out of the lineup

746
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: if you would have said his name and say what

747
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,919
Speaker 1: sport does he play? I never would have guessed golf,

748
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,439
Speaker 1: And I just think that you're in this spot where

749
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: it's like and then you're coming to the Honda Classic,

750
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: which is no longer the Honda Classic because all these

751
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: brands go, wait, we're already giving you ten or fifteen

752
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 1: whatever million dollars to sponsor the tournament. And then you

753
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: come back to me, You're like, well, our fields are

754
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: shittier and we want more money. You're like, how does

755
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: this that up? It's like all these you know, the

756
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: Wells Fargo yanked out. It's like this doesn't pencil anymore.

757
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: And it's called the Cognizant. Well, I'm pretty sure the

758
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: Cognizant also sponsored the a Fall event too, So did

759
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: they get a buy a two for one? And it's

760
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: just everything's off kilter, you know, for us. Is what

761
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 1: the NFL is doing right now. Obviously, you know, football

762
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: has always been more popular than golf, but just in

763
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 1: terms of their business, it's never been stronger. And the

764
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 1: reason their salary cap keeps driving up because they're making

765
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: so much money. This feels the opposite. It not only

766
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: feels very inflated, it feels like kind of like a

767
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: house of cards and at any moment it could break

768
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,479
Speaker 1: and shatter. And that's like going into the Honda Classic again.

769
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna gamble on it, but it's no longer called

770
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:03,760
Speaker 1: that why because your business operation is all out of whack.

771
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: So I think the only thing any one of us

772
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 1: can hope for is that they get this figured out

773
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 1: a lot sooner than later. Now, this tournament, which I've

774
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: watched over the years and gambled on, you know, this

775
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: Florida Swing is like next week, can play really really hard.

776
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: I mean they can grow out the rough, the win

777
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: can start pumping, and it can be very, very difficult

778
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 1: to play at bay Hill. And you know, talking to

779
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: some guys that used to play on the tour, a

780
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,760
Speaker 1: lot of them don't really love Bayhill. You know, Tiger

781
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 1: had so much reverence for Arnold Palmer. And I had

782
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: someone tell me this, a former tour player, former winner

783
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: on the PGA Tour, that he thought as these guys

784
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: die off, that some of these courses that they play

785
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: like Arnold, that as they go away and they are

786
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: no longer there, players feel less and less obligated to

787
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 1: play these tournaments. And I think that will be the case,

788
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: won't you know, whenever Jack, who's in his mid eighties

789
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 1: passes away Immemorial, which I would say Memorial is a

790
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,359
Speaker 1: better course than Bayhill. But it's like if it doesn't

791
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: fit your schedule and it's not an elevated event and

792
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,720
Speaker 1: Jack is no longer there to greet you on eighteenth,

793
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: like fuck it, I don't care. And it's just a

794
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: natural kind of way. As time goes on, people feel

795
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: less and less connection, and then you just have to

796
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 1: wonder if this Florida swing is going to keep changing dramatically.

797
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: But you know, Joel Damon is a guy who kind

798
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 1: of became famous with his Netflix episode a couple of

799
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:40,760
Speaker 1: years ago. I do think he's playing like the Mexico

800
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,399
Speaker 1: Open is just a bomb and gouge. You can bang

801
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: it anywhere. It's a wide open resort course. And he's

802
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: got sixty five sixty five, and he's probably a couple

803
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: putts away from being right there at the end. This

804
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: swing in theory should fit especially this course should fit

805
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 1: him a lot more. You know, guys like him and

806
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: Keith Mitchell that should hit a lot of fairway. The

807
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: thing with Joel, I mean, you can get him right now,

808
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,280
Speaker 1: to top twenty at almost four to one on DraftKings.

809
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 1: Billy Horschell is another guy that I wrote down that

810
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have some exposure to to meet Joel Damon,

811
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: Billy Horschell top twenties, Keith Mitchell top twenty. And here's

812
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: another problem when you have weak fields. I looked at

813
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: DraftKings today, every single player in the field to top

814
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: twenty had even better odds. Like that's not a good

815
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: thing typically a tournament. You know, when the good players

816
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: are there, Rory Scottie, Zander Ludwig, like, their top twenty

817
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 1: odds can be like minus two hundred Scotty, sometimes the

818
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 1: top twenty is like minus three hundred. You know he's

819
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: locked the top twenty. And just something to keep an

820
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: eye on. Let's answer some of your questions at Go Lopod.

821
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: At Go Lopod, I'll bang a couple out right now.

822
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: Back in the Tiger Roger Federer days, when they both

823
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 1: were around thirteen to fourteen majors, there was a lot

824
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: of tennis and golf format comparisons, and I can oft

825
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 1: and see the similarities as a tennis player, as an

826
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:07,240
Speaker 1: avid tennis player who also golfs my question is regarding

827
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: the PGA finding a similar standard schedule, whereby tennis has

828
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,959
Speaker 1: four majors, but they also have nine Masters tournaments which

829
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: are worth second most points and all top players are

830
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 1: mandatory to attend. All the tournament levels below that are

831
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 1: optional to the player. I've always found it so hard

832
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 1: to watch golf tournaments as the tournament name is the sponsor.

833
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 1: I can't make heads or tails. Which are the big

834
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 1: tournaments and which are the random events. I think you

835
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 1: hit the nail on the head. The sport has to

836
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: find a way say whatever you want about lyft one

837
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 1: thing they do well. If you're one of the twelve

838
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: thousand people that are watching one of these events, you

839
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: know who's going to be there. All the fucking players

840
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 1: that are signed to lift. They're all gonna play unless

841
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: they're injured. So when you look, you're like, well, what romschoote?

842
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: What a koepkaschoote? What did cam smiss you? What Phil

843
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 1: shoot right? What did Anthony Kim shoot? Who? I think

844
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: I saw headline of day got blood cloths? So hopefully

845
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: is gonna be okay. But that is not the case

846
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 1: of the PGA Tour. You're like, who's playing this week,

847
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 1: who's the betting favorite Shane Lowry forever. It's like you

848
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 1: never knew. You had a pretty good idea where Tiger

849
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 1: played and where Tiger didn't, but he skipped a lot

850
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 1: of tournaments, you know, So it was always a really

851
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: big deal when Tiger and Phil were in the same place.

852
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: Where it's like when the Bills play the Chiefs. I'm

853
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: getting Josh Allen and Mahomes. So whatever they're figuring out

854
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 1: with Yosser, with Jay Monahan, with Donald and Tiger, I

855
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: hope they realize, like I'm all, listen, I get you

856
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 1: can't play ten weeks in a row in golf. That's

857
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 1: not the way it works. This isn't like some of

858
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 1: these other sports. But how about everyone take the week off, right,

859
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 1: and then come back the next week and you can

860
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: have the lower level players but at least acknowledge it,

861
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 1: like this is a way shitt of your tournament, which

862
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 1: they're kind of doing now. The difference is they come

863
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 1: back like this week, like some guys that are good

864
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:59,399
Speaker 1: play and some guys don't. They'll all be there next week, though,

865
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 1: And I just think that, yeah, I hear you. I

866
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 1: wouldn't mind the tennis model at all four majors and

867
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 1: then maybe ten real tournaments that everyone who matters plays in.

868
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 1: Thanks for the most reason, Pod. Obviously, as an NFL guy,

869
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 1: you were tied up until the super Bowl, but I've

870
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 1: been craving some go low thought this was perhaps your

871
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 1: best pot. Excellent insight on the business side, as always

872
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,240
Speaker 1: in player focus, was on point. In observation on Ludwig,

873
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: It's not that easy. His recent dominance is a great

874
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 1: sign of things to camp come, but the control he

875
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: has is not always going to be there, as every

876
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: golfer knows. Will be interesting to see if his performances

877
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 1: this year and beyond, no doubt. Lastly, when you say

878
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:44,359
Speaker 1: you're going to hit balls, maybe include spending an hour

879
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 1: on your short game. Most people do. More people do that,

880
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: they'll score better, play more. Just some advice. I actually

881
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: played last Friday for the first time in months and

882
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,879
Speaker 1: shot eighty three. But I actually was hitting the ball

883
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 1: like I would shoot seventy five. My putting is the

884
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: worst I've ever put it in my entire life, since

885
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 1: I was probably like eight years old. I mean, it

886
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,280
Speaker 1: might my putting and this was a new Scottie Cameron

887
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: that Maria got me for my fortieth birthday, So it

888
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 1: was it felt a little different than you get in

889
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 1: your own head. But I need to go to the

890
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: putting green and just putt. I have a putting green

891
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: in my backyard. It's been here since we bought the house,

892
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 1: and honestly, it's it's probably fifteen twenty years old. I

893
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: went out to hit a couple of putts the other day.

894
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,399
Speaker 1: It's in such bad shape you like can't even figure

895
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 1: it out. I was looking to get a new putting

896
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 1: green from my guys at celebrity Greens. I had them

897
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,800
Speaker 1: come out, which I think I'm inevitably gonna do, but

898
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: it is it is not cheap. I mean we're talking

899
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 1: to a number that's five figures that starts with a

900
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 1: three for a putting green. Actually was gonna turf the

901
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 1: side of my house too, but turf man, I see

902
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 1: these owners like we really spend that much on turf

903
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 1: golf question though. Just finished watching the Mexico Open where

904
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 1: the rookie hit the seven iron into the bunker, which

905
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,800
Speaker 1: ultimately cost him the tournament. We got to hear his

906
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:08,879
Speaker 1: caddy and him talk about it right before the shot,

907
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:10,959
Speaker 1: and I thought they were gonna hit the six iron.

908
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 1: I know it's common thing, but why do golfers always

909
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 1: end up not taking enough club, especially when hazards are

910
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: known to add a stroker too. A cut six would

911
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 1: have landed on the chipping green. You know what's funny

912
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 1: is I was texting with my buddy Chris on the

913
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 1: on that final when they were playing the final hole

914
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: and the guy got kicked out of the tree. I

915
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 1: think the mistake he made. And this is not Augusta

916
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 1: or the US Open, so you can attack pins. Your

917
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 1: playing partner had just hit it in the shit. His

918
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: ball went two d and twenty yards. He took a

919
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: three wood and then hit it up to like eighty

920
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: yards or whatever. You are three hundred and thirty yards

921
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 1: down the right side of the fairway. Just hit the

922
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: middle of the green. You hit the middle of the green,

923
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:02,840
Speaker 1: you burn. You are essentially forcing him to get up

924
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 1: and down with his wedge. Now he ended up doing it,

925
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:07,359
Speaker 1: but you can't lose that way. You're not gonna three

926
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 1: put These greens are you know, flat as a driveway.

927
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 1: But he tried to hit this ball, and listen, I

928
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 1: do it a lot too. I take I always think

929
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 1: I hit the ball farther than I should. I'm actually

930
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: really working on when I'm one hundred and seventy two yards, like,

931
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: don't try to swing out of your you know what

932
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 1: to hit an eight iron, choke down, hit a seven iron,

933
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 1: just hit a full seven irons? So what your ten

934
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:31,840
Speaker 1: yards farther? I'm really that's a twenty twenty five focus

935
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 1: of mine. But I'm with you. And then he comes

936
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: up a yard or two short and he's in the

937
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 1: bunker and it's like, well, why not just hit it

938
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 1: to the middle of the green and not even take

939
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 1: on the bunker? And then I realize a guy's twenty

940
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 1: years old, so it's like hard to even blame him.

941
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 1: With the immersions of night golf, do you ever see

942
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 1: the PGA hosting one night tournament every year and giving

943
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 1: it a party vibe similar to the waste management? I

944
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 1: think the event being at night would get more TV

945
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 1: viewers and also be something fun unique to have on

946
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:04,800
Speaker 1: at the bar or at a buddy's place with a

947
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 1: few drinks freshen the game up a bit. Have you

948
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:12,479
Speaker 1: ever night golfed? I have not. There is this place

949
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 1: here in Arizona called grass Clippings. It's essentially a par

950
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:19,320
Speaker 1: three that's made for under the lights. He actually was

951
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 1: like the I think like the number two or three

952
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 1: superintendent at TBC Scottsdale where waste management is. He got

953
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:29,360
Speaker 1: hired at grass Clippings and they have They've built a

954
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,439
Speaker 1: pretty good business. I think it's like forty five minutes

955
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 1: away from where I'm sitting right now, but I've wanted

956
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: to get out there and try. I think the one

957
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,919
Speaker 1: problem is to have a real tournament with real money,

958
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 1: you know, playing at night on a real course, you know,

959
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:44,800
Speaker 1: grass Clippings is you're off, I think you're on mats

960
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 1: and you're basically just you know, putting the ball. The

961
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: difference of you know, the night the do at night,

962
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:57,839
Speaker 1: depending on where you play, does change how you play golf.

963
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 1: And these players bitch and moan about it everything. But

964
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 1: just from a business standpoint, one hundred percent, why not? Now?

965
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,439
Speaker 1: The problem is, you know you're talking four or five

966
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 1: hour rounds. So if you're starting at night, especially in

967
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: the summer, are you playing somewhere where it gets dark

968
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 1: at eight o'clock or do you start when it's light out?

969
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly how you would do that, because

970
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 1: if if it was dark the whole time in the

971
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 1: middle of June or July. Are you teeing off like

972
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: eight thirty at night and you're not finishing till like

973
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 1: one thirty. It's a little more. It sounds great, and

974
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 1: I'm with you, like you make a lot of sense,

975
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 1: but then in practice it becomes a little more complicated.

976
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,319
Speaker 1: I feel, like many other people, I love playing golf.

977
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 1: Maybe go once a week during the summer. I'm twenty three,

978
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: gotta work. I feel you, dog, but hate watching it

979
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:51,760
Speaker 1: on television. I love a weekly segment on good bets,

980
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: bets you're making to get me interested, Maybe a long

981
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: record on how you've done predicting certain things, like I said,

982
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: Joel Damon, Billy Horsechell are two guys I'm hitting this week,

983
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 1: Keith Mitchell probably as well. Those are three, partly because

984
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: of the odds, and I think anytime you get some

985
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 1: of these random tournaments hitting guys that are twenty to one.

986
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 1: I mean Daniel Berger, who showed some signs of life

987
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:16,839
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, waste management most weeks up

988
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: until a couple of weeks ago, you get him at

989
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 1: like one hundred to one, and then coming into this week,

990
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 1: he's twenty five to one. I like Shane Lowry, but

991
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: Shane Lowry on a weekly basis is like fifty five

992
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: to one and he's twenty two to one. What do

993
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 1: you think of TGL League. I saw a few matches

994
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:36,880
Speaker 1: and I have to admit it's pretty entertaining. Yeah, I

995
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 1: would say it's just it's an easy watch. I think

996
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 1: it's just an easy watch. But like I said earlier,

997
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,360
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's just a lot going on,

998
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 1: and I think it'd be early in the season flying

999
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 1: these guys across the country. Once they build a couple more,

1000
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 1: you know, I would imagine they'll build one here in Scottsdale,

1001
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 1: maybe in Vegas. That would help the trend a little bit.

1002
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 1: But I give a lot of credit to, you know,

1003
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 1: all the guys that are really into it. And I think,

1004
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 1: you know, Tony Feenew last night made his debut. He

1005
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:12,319
Speaker 1: was really into it. Uh jt is just a great,

1006
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 1: I would say, spokesman personality for golf. He's just always

1007
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:22,840
Speaker 1: willing to just be out front the gala. Morekawa Wyndam

1008
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:25,399
Speaker 1: Clark has tried hard. I mean I haven't watched I've

1009
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: watched bits and pieces, but like, yeah, can't Ley and

1010
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:34,319
Speaker 1: Cam Young aren't gonna be entertaining, no shit. My wife

1011
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:36,800
Speaker 1: and I are going to the Arnold Palmer Saturday tickets

1012
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:38,880
Speaker 1: in March and there will be our that will be

1013
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 1: our first big tournament. Any recommendations for the best tournament experience,

1014
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 1: t boxes, greens or just pick a group and follow along. Uh,

1015
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 1: I take it you have general admission. If you have

1016
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:55,279
Speaker 1: general admission, uh, there are gonna be certain players, you know,

1017
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 1: Scottie Scheffler, Rory are gonna be there. They're gonna get

1018
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:02,479
Speaker 1: treated like tiger woods. So it's extremely hard to watch

1019
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 1: them play golf because unless you're Shaquille O'Neil, the depth

1020
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: of human beings trying to watch them hit a shot

1021
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:16,320
Speaker 1: is like eight to fifteen deep. So it's very, very difficult.

1022
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 1: What I've done in the past is followed random people,

1023
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: and if the Arnold Palmer because an elevated event, your

1024
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 1: randoms are still going to be really good and you

1025
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:26,839
Speaker 1: might be able to just follow them for like nine

1026
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:30,359
Speaker 1: holes and pretty easy be able to see everything. Now,

1027
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: I did what I like to do with these golf

1028
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: tournaments is you know, set up in a tent and

1029
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:40,319
Speaker 1: booze and watch it on television. But I think I've

1030
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 1: never been to Bayhill. But if there's a if there's

1031
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 1: like a area where you can sit and watch a

1032
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:49,839
Speaker 1: green and a tea box, you can kind of double down.

1033
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 1: I've done that. You can do that at Pebble. You

1034
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,879
Speaker 1: can watch them t off on four and hit their

1035
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 1: approach shot on seventeen. So anytime that you can find

1036
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:02,839
Speaker 1: like a grand stand and where you get a double shot,

1037
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 1: you get like two different holes, whether that's a green

1038
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 1: and a tea box, whether that's two tea boxes, I

1039
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: think that's kind of key. Maybe you just want to

1040
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 1: go and get some steps in, just just walk around,

1041
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:17,880
Speaker 1: you just kind of explore. That's a difference. Like you

1042
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 1: go to a baseball game, a basketball game, a football game,

1043
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 1: a soccer game, a tennis match, Like you just sit

1044
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 1: there and watch. Right, it's pretty like there's not much

1045
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 1: gray area. Right, you want to get food or go

1046
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 1: to the bathroom or whatever. It's like a concert, you

1047
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 1: go there or do that and then you go back

1048
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 1: to your seat. You know, golf, you kind of do

1049
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:38,360
Speaker 1: whatever you want. I just I'd take it all in.

1050
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 1: I'd walk around. If you've never been there, I'd walk

1051
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:45,240
Speaker 1: all around the property, but be careful because it's in Florida. So, Gators,

1052
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:50,800
Speaker 1: what are your four picks for the four golf majors.

1053
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 1: I love hearing your discourse on professional golf as one

1054
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 1: of my other favorite sports. Talking figures don't typically discuss golf.

1055
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:04,399
Speaker 1: I would say that it would be stunning if if

1056
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:06,960
Speaker 1: Scotti Scheffler doesn't win one of the majors this year.

1057
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 1: He clearly, I mean, coming off the injury, but he's

1058
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:14,400
Speaker 1: just too good. Did not win another major, So I

1059
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 1: don't know if that's necessarily gonna be the Masters, but

1060
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 1: I would be stunned if Scotty Scheffler doesn't win a major.

1061
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 1: I also think he's playing some of the best golf

1062
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 1: of his life, and I know that he won his

1063
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 1: majors early in his career. But you can't hit the

1064
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 1: rim that many times and not have eventually the ball

1065
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 1: going the hoop, like eventually you're gonna score, and like

1066
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 1: Rory has been so good in these majors the last

1067
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 1: couple of years, the US Opened at LACC, the US

1068
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 1: or the British Open at when he lost to camp Smith,

1069
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:53,040
Speaker 1: he couldn't make a birdie on a, you know, on

1070
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 1: Sunday at the Old Course last year against Bryson YEA.

1071
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 1: Honestly think Scotty Cheffer and Rory Macker, we are both

1072
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 1: gonna win a major this year. I would say Ludwig

1073
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 1: is gonna be in the mix in one of these tournaments. Now,

1074
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 1: can he close a major? I don't know, but I

1075
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 1: would say that it would be stunning if he's not

1076
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 1: right there. You know, Xander won two of them last year.

1077
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 1: And then, let's face it, like kind of in a

1078
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 1: weird thing going on right now because golf is not

1079
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 1: like there's no Adam Schefter shams getting updates on like

1080
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 1: what's going on with Xander Schaffle's health. It's like is

1081
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:36,040
Speaker 1: his rib okay? Like has he gotten four surgery since?

1082
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 1: Has he just been resting? You know? In all these

1083
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 1: other sports, we would be getting updates, like Jeff Passon

1084
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 1: would be like, yeah, Sho Hao Tani's Tommy John is

1085
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: going well, we should see him make a rehab start

1086
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 1: in three weeks. And golf is just crickets, which there's

1087
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 1: no like governing body, which would be nice now that

1088
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 1: we're all talking about gambling, to be like, you know,

1089
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 1: Xander's said he's three to four weeks out where Xander

1090
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 1: is like, no one has to talk about it because

1091
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 1: if he doesn't go to a tournament, you don't hear anything.

1092
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 1: I would say, like, I would bet on Xander to win,

1093
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:11,200
Speaker 1: but fuck, I don't know what if his I don't know,

1094
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:14,440
Speaker 1: he just disappeared. I would say the other guy that

1095
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 1: I mean last year was a major factor, right, could

1096
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 1: have won the PGA when he was trying to chase

1097
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 1: down Xander, beat Rory at the US Open and by

1098
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 1: far had his best outing of his career at the Masters.

1099
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:30,919
Speaker 1: Is whatever Bryson has done these last couple of years.

1100
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 1: And clearly you know him changing his clubs and the

1101
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 1: three d Irons and the crank driver he's in a

1102
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 1: and just his personality where he's at as a human being,

1103
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 1: the success he's having on YouTube. He does feel like

1104
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 1: he's in a phenomenal place. And his golf last year

1105
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 1: in the Majors was elite. So like, I know this

1106
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 1: is kind of chocky, but like, how are you betting

1107
00:59:53,880 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 1: against Scottie Scheffler, Rory McElroy, Ludwig Bryson. I would say

1108
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 1: one guy that's kind of a sleeper who's playing really

1109
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 1: good golf and has a little bit of a chip

1110
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 1: on his shoulder because last year was so shitty, would

1111
01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 1: be JD. Like the other thing you see in these

1112
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 1: majors is like, look who won the majors last year.

1113
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 1: It was Scotty Scheffler, it was Xander Schaffle twice, and

1114
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 1: it was Bryson d Chambeau. It's like, well, who would

1115
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 1: have won if they didn't win, Well, Bryson would have

1116
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 1: won another one. Rory would have beat him. Like the

1117
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 1: golf has really separated. These top guys like Scotti, Scheffler, Bryson,

1118
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:34,600
Speaker 1: d Schambeau, Ludwig more Cowa are so much better than

1119
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 1: just these random guys. And the cool part about golf,

1120
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean a random guy can't have a moment

1121
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 1: and be in the mix. But I have a hard

1122
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 1: time seeing them beat these players. I really do. And

1123
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 1: typically when you look at guys that win majors, you know,

1124
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 1: for historically it's the top guys, and right now we

1125
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 1: got three or four guys in the peak of their powers.

1126
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:58,440
Speaker 1: You know, if John Rohm could ever get a shit together,

1127
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:02,439
Speaker 1: I just have a hard time betting against the elite guys.

1128
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 1: So if you told me that like this year is

1129
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 1: like last year, where it's just like the equivalent of

1130
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 1: Xander twice, Bryson Scottie. It's like Rory JT and Scotty twice,

1131
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 1: you know, or Bryson if Xander came back Ludvig, Like

1132
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 1: I just I'd be stunned if that group doesn't win

1133
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:26,000
Speaker 1: several majors this year. Not exactly sure how it's gonna

1134
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 1: play out, but uh, who are your guesses for the

1135
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 1: Ryder Cup team both Europe and USA as we see

1136
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:36,520
Speaker 1: here today? Would you bet on Europe to win? It

1137
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 1: feels like they have a much deeper and talented team.

1138
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 1: A team of Rory, Ludwig, Victor Rom, Haattan Fleetwood, Sepstraca,

1139
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 1: and Shane Lowry feels so much better than anything currently

1140
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 1: in the US. I would say if they played in

1141
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 1: two weeks, I would bet on Europe. I mean, they

1142
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 1: have Rory and Ludwig and it's hard to even gauge Rom.

1143
01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 1: But let's just assume Rom's playing well. Like their top

1144
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 1: three I mean, with Xander being out is better than

1145
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:10,920
Speaker 1: our top three. It's like they got three Scotties. So

1146
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:14,920
Speaker 1: I'd be a little nervous now The one thing that's

1147
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 1: gonna be a huge advantage for us is it is

1148
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:21,600
Speaker 1: gonna be It's gonna be bananas. I mean New York City,

1149
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 1: the heat, the booze. I bet there's an altercation. Hopefully

1150
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 1: not not rooting for an altercation, but it would not

1151
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 1: shock me if there's one at all. So I think

1152
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:36,720
Speaker 1: it's hard to I mean so much changes. I mean

1153
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 1: last year at this time, like Max Homo is one

1154
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:41,720
Speaker 1: of the best American players, and then he almost won

1155
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 1: the Masters, and then he just became bad at golf.

1156
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 1: So you just the thing with golf, you know, it's

1157
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 1: like in other sports, you get injured and it can

1158
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 1: derail your career or derail your season, but it's rare,

1159
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 1: Like you would have a bad quarterbacks have bad games,

1160
01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 1: but like it's guys bounce back. Like in golf, it's

1161
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 1: like all of a sudden, it's like, why is this

1162
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 1: guy playing so poorly? It's like, I just bad right now,

1163
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:07,440
Speaker 1: I have lost it. I don't know what to do. Hell,

1164
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 1: it happens to you when your playing. I like me

1165
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:12,160
Speaker 1: putting last week, I'm like I feel like I don't

1166
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 1: know what I'm doing putting. I'm never putting in a

1167
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 1: putter to play a round of golf in which I

1168
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:20,720
Speaker 1: have not played around in a long time, and not

1169
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,680
Speaker 1: practice putting. That was a bad idea. Okay, last question.

1170
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:31,000
Speaker 1: Thanks for keeping up with the content before your wedding.

1171
01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:33,080
Speaker 1: It's kept me sane. I wanted to ask you if

1172
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:35,919
Speaker 1: you have anything you're personally gonna do on your wedding day.

1173
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:40,240
Speaker 1: Mentors you'll seek advice from, do a certain activity, listen

1174
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 1: to anything in particular. I know the day will be

1175
01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:46,960
Speaker 1: a blur and should be, but I make sure to

1176
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:54,160
Speaker 1: take time and appreciate it. Thanks. I'm gonna meditate and

1177
01:03:54,680 --> 01:04:00,800
Speaker 1: no I on my wedding day probably get up, have

1178
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 1: a little breakfast, get a sweat in, and then I

1179
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 1: don't know, lounge around. I mean nothing. I know plans.

1180
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:18,920
Speaker 1: We were gonna play golf next Thursday in Nashville, but

1181
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 1: it was the high of forty five degrees, and I

1182
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:26,280
Speaker 1: have a personal rule. I don't really play golf if

1183
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 1: it's under like fifty five degrees. Now, if I'm on

1184
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:32,680
Speaker 1: the road, might make exceptions, especially a great course forty

1185
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:36,520
Speaker 1: the high of forty five like, that's just that's too cold.

1186
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 1: Golf Baseball made for warm weather, so not doing that

1187
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:45,080
Speaker 1: anymore sucks because this week's pretty good weather in Nashville,

1188
01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:47,720
Speaker 1: but next week's supposed to be cold. But I would

1189
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 1: say on my wedding day, I may hang out with

1190
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:56,440
Speaker 1: my mom brother. I don't. I haven't even you know,

1191
01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:59,800
Speaker 1: when you're in the midst of like a wedding p

1192
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:04,960
Speaker 1: planning and I've had to kind of jump in and participate,

1193
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:08,080
Speaker 1: I would say the last week, you don't. You're just

1194
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:10,000
Speaker 1: You're just kind of living in the moment. You know.

1195
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:13,200
Speaker 1: It's it's hard for me even to think about. I mean,

1196
01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:16,040
Speaker 1: we haven't even discussed the vows and how that's gonna work.

1197
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:17,360
Speaker 1: We have to do that here in the next couple

1198
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 1: of days or the next week. I mean, we just

1199
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:22,760
Speaker 1: went this morning to get the marriage license. You know,

1200
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:25,439
Speaker 1: sounds like football coach cliche, you just kind of living

1201
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:28,680
Speaker 1: day to day, But I I don't. I'm I'm a

1202
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:32,800
Speaker 1: pretty routine oriented guy, you know, like going to the

1203
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 1: gym every day to get a sweat makes me feel

1204
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:38,520
Speaker 1: a little bit better, get a little food. One thing

1205
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 1: I probably will do is order a what's it called

1206
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,680
Speaker 1: a AA IV to my hotel room to get an

1207
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 1: IV on Saturday. But well, I did. I've heard a

1208
01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 1: lot of people talk, a lot of people I have

1209
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:58,120
Speaker 1: a lot of admiration for, and it just people that

1210
01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 1: I follow the disc us that they meditate. Maybe I'm

1211
01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 1: gonna start. I thought about actually doing that this morning.

1212
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 1: I woke up at like I couldn't go fall back

1213
01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:11,920
Speaker 1: to sleep at like five forty five, And you know,

1214
01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:14,600
Speaker 1: the first thing you typically do is like grab your phone,

1215
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:16,960
Speaker 1: which is like, why why am I scrolling Instagram at

1216
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 1: five forty five in the morning. Why not just get

1217
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 1: up and go outside. It's kind of cold. Just go

1218
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:24,080
Speaker 1: in the other room, just be in your thoughts for

1219
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 1: ten minutes, twenty minutes. I'm really jealous of people that

1220
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:32,160
Speaker 1: are able to do that mentor advice. Like I think

1221
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 1: I got a pretty good handle on talking to people

1222
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:40,800
Speaker 1: over the course of my life, and I you know,

1223
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:43,440
Speaker 1: you know, you got to be a better person and

1224
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:46,720
Speaker 1: try to do things that are less about you and

1225
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:49,440
Speaker 1: selfless and things like that, and check your ego at

1226
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:52,880
Speaker 1: the door. Some in fights, but I tell people all

1227
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 1: the time, like we've been living together now for two years.

1228
01:06:56,680 --> 01:07:00,439
Speaker 1: You know, we bought this house together. You're a half ago.

1229
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:02,960
Speaker 1: This is not you know, we're not in an old

1230
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:07,720
Speaker 1: school relationship here right, this has been I've essentially been

1231
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 1: married for a long time. It's just not quote unquote official.

1232
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:14,000
Speaker 1: There hasn't been a wedding, but like our families have

1233
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 1: known each other for years now. It's just it's and

1234
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:23,280
Speaker 1: maybe that's the norm. And I would imagine most of

1235
01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 1: my friends were kind of that way, a lot of

1236
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:27,920
Speaker 1: people in my life, but also some people were not

1237
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:31,280
Speaker 1: that way. But it's in a weird way. It doesn't

1238
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 1: feel like I mean, it's a big day for you know,

1239
01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 1: my family, specifically my mom, but it doesn't feel like

1240
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:40,840
Speaker 1: a lot is going to change the next day. Besides,

1241
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:44,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a ring on my finger. That is weird.

1242
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 1: Like I'm not a huge jewelry guy to begin with.

1243
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 1: I know it's all the fashion of guys like wearing chains,

1244
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 1: Like I just I can't really pull that off, not

1245
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:55,560
Speaker 1: that I even want to, but I've never been a

1246
01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:59,920
Speaker 1: ring guy. I was watching golf the other day why

1247
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 1: and Adam Scott played with Grant Horvat It's like, is

1248
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:05,080
Speaker 1: he wearing his wedding ring? Is he even married? Do

1249
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:06,800
Speaker 1: you guys wear their wedding ring when they play golf?

1250
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 1: Do you wear your wedding ring when you work out,

1251
01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:10,400
Speaker 1: Like do I wear it if I go in the

1252
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:12,000
Speaker 1: steam room, in the sauna? Do you wear it in

1253
01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:14,680
Speaker 1: the shower? I don't know. These are things I have

1254
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:17,080
Speaker 1: to like that. That's those are things that I'm more

1255
01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:20,559
Speaker 1: interested in than like advice on life.

1256
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:21,840
Speaker 2: You know.

1257
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:23,960
Speaker 1: Part of it is I'm forty. You know, I'm not

Speaker 1: not twenty seven. I'm not thirty two. I've pretty I'm

Speaker 1: a weathered forty two. Like I've seen a lot of shit.

1260
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:32,800
Speaker 1: Not not saying I have all the answers by any means,

1261
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:37,680
Speaker 1: not at all, But I think I would be much

1262
01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 1: more inclined to do stuff like that if I was younger.

1263
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:42,400
Speaker 1: And I'm not Opposed's not like I'm anti advice or whatever,
