Obviously, 27 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: the big news of the day is Tom Brady. Just 28 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: want to stop really quick on this because for me 29 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: and there there's not a fourth guy. I have three 30 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: guys on the pantheon of my life that I've witnessed 31 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,839 Speaker 1: that are by far the greatest athletes, most dominant players, 32 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: and the people that I admire the most in terms 33 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: of sports figures. Michael Jordan's Tiger Woods and Tom Brady, 34 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: and I think especially Tom and Tiger have a lot 35 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: of parallels. Uh. John Elway had a really good tweet 36 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: today about them that the competitive fire to be the best. 37 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: And Tom Brady won a super Bowl at forty four 38 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: years old, Tiger Woods won the Masters at forty four 39 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: years old. When they both did that, now, Tiger had 40 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: come back from injuries, Tom had just both of them 41 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: had an unlimited amount of money, They had accomplishments that 42 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: were never gonna be matched. Again, like no one is 43 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: matching Tiger Woods majors again. You see it. John rom 44 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,239 Speaker 1: right now is the best player in the world, and 45 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: you see how hard it is for him to win, 46 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: just win. You saw a Tiger's record at Torry Ponds. 47 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: Dude went one like every other year. So to me, 48 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: the drive and the competitive fire of Tiger Woods and 49 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: Tom Brady when they had accomplished everything and made all 50 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: the money is something I really admire. And I think 51 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,519 Speaker 1: both those guys different than Michael, you know, Michael. Michael 52 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: liked his cocktails. Michael liked his gambling. Uh Tiger. I'm 53 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: not saying Tiger and Brady didn't, but their discipline to train. 54 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: I mean some of the stories, you know, through this, 55 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: I've met a couple of guys that you know, played 56 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 1: on the PGA Tour for a long time and they 57 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: told stories about tigers early days. One they always said, 58 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 1: when you play with Tiger in his peak. And I 59 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 1: found this out over over, you know, the last couple 60 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: of years, especially that you know the COVID time in 61 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: two twenty, watched so many old Tiger Woods and I 62 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: remember thinking, like and I was a kid, you know, 63 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 1: it was like junior high, high school. Obviously he was 64 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: such a big deal back then, but when I rewatched it, 65 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 1: I went, holy shit, it's this guy is almost underrated. 66 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: And as uh, my guy Hunter Mahan described it to 67 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: me one time, is basically how stupid it was. He 68 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: was in his peak, he did everything better than everyone else, 69 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: literally everything. Now he wasn't just you know, the best 70 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: iron player. He wasn't just the best chipper. He wasn't 71 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: just the longest. He wasn't just the best scrambled. He 72 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: did it all at attend. Now Brady didn't you know, right, 73 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: Brady couldn't move. But in terms of intelligence, arm strength, accuracy, 74 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: clutch drives, winning spots, big games, cold weather, they just 75 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: they were fucking machines. And their focus, I mean the 76 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: focus those guys have. Um, it's just, you know, I 77 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: missed Tiger already because I've kind of come to grips. 78 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: You know, obviously Tom is going out on his own. 79 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: It feels like Tiger the leg injury, it's gonna be very, 80 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: very difficult for him to ever truly play competitive again. 81 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: I mean we saw him with Charlie, but he was 82 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: in a cart. Uh. They're just I I feel honored 83 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: as a sports fan that I got, you know, Michael, 84 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: I was really young, but the documentary kind of brought 85 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: back my just pure love of Michael Jordan. I'm sure 86 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: many people listening to watch, you know, the Last Dance, 87 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: but really that I thought. Tigers Masters is my favorite 88 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: sporting event of my life. Um, It's just the coolest 89 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: thing I've ever seen. And I'm you know, a sports junkie. 90 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: I love it all. I mean, I'm not. There's a 91 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: lot of sweet things in sports that hell happen every 92 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 1: year every other year. That's number one for me. That 93 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: that moment was pretty special. Now the most incredible thing 94 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: I've I mean, Tom Brady doing that at forty four, 95 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: Like I We're never gonna see a are back when 96 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: a super Bowl at forty four years old. Again, it's 97 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: just not gonna happen. So just those guys just they're 98 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: my pantheon, those three. I don't have my four spots opened, 99 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: but there's no one even close to being put in 100 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: there yet. Uh one thing and and me and so 101 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: will get into some of the gambling for this week 102 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: at Pebble Beach. And I've gone to this tournament one 103 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: year when I was working in the NFL. Actually I 104 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: flew home. Uh. My cousins have a place in the 105 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: Monterey area, and we went and uh, I remember following 106 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: Tony Romo, Tiger, and Phil Micholson because Phil was him 107 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: and Tiger were matched up in the group. I went out, 108 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: I think on Saturday, maybe it was a Friday. They 109 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: were playing MPCC because they play NPCC, they play spyglass 110 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: and they play pebble, and we watched him play Monterey 111 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: and Tony Romo was playing with Tiger. I just remember 112 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: being really really cool. But this field sucks, like it's terrible. 113 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 1: And Will's alatoris who tested positive so he's out this week, 114 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: who we'll talk about here in a second. Like they're 115 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: all going across the pond to the Saddis and Sardi 116 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: pays now, like they're paying enormous appearance fees. And you know, 117 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: it's one of those things that if you follow golf closely, 118 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: a lot of the golf media talk a lot of 119 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: shit about these guys, like I don't blame them. I 120 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: do not blame them for taking two million dollars or 121 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: a million dollars to just show up. I would do 122 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: the same thing if I was in their seat. I 123 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: say it all the time on any place you listen 124 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: to me. I am not a moral high horse guy. 125 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: I'm not, so I can't pretend to say I think 126 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: it's so easy to shoot on these guys where if 127 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: you were in that situation you're being offered the money, 128 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: that it's so easy to say no when you're not 129 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: actually being offered the money. Who knows, Like let's say 130 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: Dustin Johnson, I don't know how much he's being offered. 131 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: Let's say they're paying Hi two and a half million 132 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: dollars to go. You're just gonna say no to two 133 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: and a half a million dollars just to fucking show 134 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: up somewhere. Probably not so I understand why all these 135 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: guys go. And then another story that's kind of germinating 136 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: out there is my guy Scotti Raber, who's like become 137 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: my research assistant for this. He text me that Ian 138 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 1: Poulter was offered twenty two million dollars potentially from the 139 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: SADDI pgl leak if Ian Poulter is getting twenty two 140 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: million dollars like I We talked about it last week, 141 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: the competition for the money with these PGA tour players, 142 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: Like ultimately Jordan's Speak or Patrick Cantley or whoever the 143 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: guys that are playing at the A T and T 144 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: this this week, and obviously why Jordan plays because he's 145 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: sponsored by A T and T. Doesn't have a choice, 146 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: because if Jordan was sponsored by Apple or Akwathena or 147 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: Travis Matthews, he'd being they would pay for him to 148 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: go across the pond. But he's contractually obligated to this 149 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: tournament now. If he misses the cut, which I actually 150 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: thought last week is swing looks funky to me. I 151 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: don't know quite what he's doing. He just looks off, 152 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: but he if he missed the guy he gets no money. 153 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: Now he gets money because they sponsor him. Like over 154 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: the year, but like this golf unlike like Tom Brady 155 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: made million dollars this year, whether he played well or not. 156 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: We talked about it last week. All these athletes, Steph Curry, 157 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: whether he's shooting well or not. These guys got to 158 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: earn their money, which to me is one of the 159 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: coolest parts about golf. Right.

You just you hear these guys talk 168 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: about even guys that are millionaires when they're playing their 169 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: buddy for two hundred bucks around that juice gets you going, 170 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: and it's really cool to watch these guys just play 171 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: for two million dollars like that. That fucking I like that. 172 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: I enjoy that, And but I wouldn't enjoy that if 173 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: I was those guys. If if the sadies, you're gonna 174 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: pay me thirty million dollars a year if I'm brooks Kepka, 175 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: and then every single like like if you're playing at 176 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: Tory Pines and the PGL that you're not battling Luke List, 177 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: He's not even there. It's just the forty guys in 178 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: the field, and you're guaranteed a minimum if you come 179 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: in last like two grand, and you have the opportunity 180 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: to win three or four grand on top of your 181 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 1: guaranteed salary. Like I, I I just think that this thing 182 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: is not gonna go away. They have too much money. 183 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: And I know all the top guys make a lot 184 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 1: of money, but ultimately, like money is all relative. Every 185 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 1: single human being listening to this, at one point in 186 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: time in your life. It might have been when you 187 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: were five, it might have been your ten, it might 188 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 1: have been when you were twenty, a hundred dollars was 189 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: a lot, and then as you get under older, hundred 190 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: dollars is no longer a lot, and maybe it's five hundred, 191 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 1: and maybe it's a thousand for some people ten thousand. 192 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: If I cut you a ten thousand dollar check right now, 193 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: that would change your life. You'd be able to pay bills, 194 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: do things that you never could have. For some people 195 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: listening to this, that's nothing. You might make five grand, 196 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: right So if you make five grand and I told 197 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: you I'm gonna pay you five thousand dollars to do 198 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 1: something on the side, that would be a lot of money. 199 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: So even if I'm Dustin Johnson or I'm Bryson d Bow, 200 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: when I'm making million dollars, I have to earn some 201 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: of that cash. Right, the extra five six that I 202 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: make during the tour. What if I could guarantee you 203 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: even if I make twenty or twenty five million dollars 204 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: million dollars, I guarantee you that, and then you have 205 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: an opportunity to win another ten on top of your 206 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,839 Speaker 1: sponsored money. So it's just it's not gonna go away, 207 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: and you're gonna see it. I love Pebble Beach, even 208 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: though I've actually never played it. I've played spy Glass 209 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: and I've played Monterey, but it just this field sucks. 210 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: It is terrible. But I get it. And if I, 211 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: if I would have the opportunity to be one of 212 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 1: those guys, I would be over there too. I would 213 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: be over there. I get why all the sweet players 214 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: are in Sadi. And speaking of what we saw last 215 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: week and Tori, two things really jump out to me. 216 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: Will's alators. The guy is. The guy is awesome to watch. 217 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: He is a fun, fun player to watch. One he 218 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: even though he said he's added fifteen pounds, he's so skinny, 219 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: yet he he added it into his driver. He clearly 220 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: made a conscious effort to get a little bigger. He 221 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: was pounding drives like three thirty. He was peppering the flag. 222 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: His only problem is he has a funky as putting motion. 223 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 1: I don't even know what's going on, some armlock clothing. 224 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: It is uncomfortable to watch him putt. Now, listen, anyone, 225 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: whether you're a twenty handicap or whether you're a scratch 226 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: golf for listening to this, putting's hard. We're all gonna 227 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: miss putts. It's kind of crazy looking back that it 228 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: felt like Tiger Woods never miss putts, but even guys 229 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: on the tour miss putts all the time. It's pretty normal, 230 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: but it's one thing like Jason Day miss putts. When 231 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: you watch Jason Day putt, it looks like a pretty 232 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: good putter, you know. When you watch you know when 233 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: Jordan's peace on on, the guy can be really hot 234 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: and he makes a lot of putts, even more Kawa 235 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: that everyone ships on for being a bad putter when 236 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 1: he's been pretty dialed and some of his big tournaments 237 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: he makes putts Zalatrus. It feels like he's shaking, and 238 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: I'm rooting for him. And I even had money on 239 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: Jason Day because I bet on Jason Day to start 240 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: the day because I just thought a short game I 241 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: thought he'd separate himself. Then he plugs in the bunker 242 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: and it didn't happen. But I think zalators. Someone forwarded 243 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: me a tweet today. His ball striking shots gained, his 244 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: driving has been better than like Mora cow and Hovelin 245 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: over a short period of time. But his putting and 246 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: it's weird. He hits some longer puts, but any put 247 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: and on tour you make your money right five to 248 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: ten ft. And that putty had at the end in 249 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: regulation like you you never had. I never thought it 250 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: was going in Now. Part of having that roller coaster 251 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: of a player makes it fun, makes you kind of invested. 252 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: He makes you kind of gravitate towards him. Now he's 253 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: got a unique story, right, He's friends with Tony Romo. 254 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,559 Speaker 1: He's played really good majors. Like the guy's got something. 255 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,959 Speaker 1: I I don't see how he doesn't end up winning 256 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: some big tournaments. But he's got to figure out the putter. 257 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: I think he has to scrap whatever the hell he's doing. 258 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 1: And hell, just put like a normal putter. Just put 259 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 1: like a normal putter. Uh. And the other guy that 260 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: I just love and I think it is so it's 261 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: really relatable when you drop f bombs when you slam clubs. Now, 262 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: most of us, when we're doing that, we're not thirteen under, 263 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: we're not fourteen under. We're not competing to win, you know, 264 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: a big tournament, a major championship. But I thought last 265 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: year John rom his temper kind of went away and 266 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: he became, you know, for him, very even keel. You know, 267 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: we see it in football coaches all the time, right, 268 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh is very emotional, but if you watch like 269 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: Andy Reider, Bill Belichick, that they never show much emotion. 270 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 1: And I actually think when a Tiger's greatest strengths, the 271 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: older he got, and definitely the last Masters and the 272 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: Tour championship was how even keel Tiger was he. I 273 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: mean that the clinic he put on on Sunday at 274 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: the Masters with monary and and Feenal and just those 275 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: other guys around him. It just just go back and 276 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: watch that on YouTube if you're ever board the emotional 277 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: stability he showed and the focus in the locked in 278 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: because if he would have got emotional. Now granted at 279 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,079 Speaker 1: that point time he's no longer like his talented, his 280 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: young self or like prime John Ram. He needed like 281 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,359 Speaker 1: a point of difference for him is his emotional stability. 282 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: But I do think that John he's gonna have to 283 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: kind of I don't know. I I think he's still 284 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: trying to figure this out because that was a tournament that, 285 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: like a guy of his caliber could have easily won 286 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: by a couple of shots. I mean, hell, Salaturus actually 287 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: could have won it by like five or six shots. 288 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: Zalatris shot. I guess it would have been on Friday, 289 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: which is a normal Saturday. If he makes some putchy 290 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: shoots like sixty he put on a clinic, but he 291 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: can't put rob sometimes shooting sixty seven, but his body 292 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: language it looks like he's shooting seventy eight. But I 293 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: enjoy watching that, Like I like real, I like raw emotion. 294 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: I like watching a guy. You know. Sometimes Bryson can 295 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: be like Bryson, what are you doing? Man? He's like 296 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: pointing people like to me, Ram is usually just doing 297 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: it to himself, like dropping f bombs, pounding the club. 298 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: I just I love watching him play when he's piste off, 299 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: because I think most of us either have a temper 300 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: when we play golf, or you know, the temper we 301 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: we've played with guys that have big tempers. Now most 302 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: guys aren't even close to as good as John Rom. 303 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: General Rom could play with his eyes closed, left handed 304 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: and beat the majority of human beings at golf. But 305 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: I like watching the guy dropping f bomb everyone's while 306 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: it's golf. You know it happens. It's hard. You screw 307 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: up shots, even when you're the number one player in 308 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: the world. Pretty fired up for this one. He's gonna 309 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: be on every week leading on up to Augusta, and 310 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: then we'll fire through the summer months as we hit 311 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: up the other majors. Jason Solovo. I've been watching this 312 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: guy on television, reading this stuff for years at ESPN. 313 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: Now he's at the Action Network, talks gambling. It's crazy 314 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: how the the world has changed, and there is no 315 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: sport that I like gambling on. To me, it's not 316 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: the NFL. It trumps the NFL like betting on golf. 317 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: And you can hear Jason Sobel throughout the week two 318 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: to four Eastern on PJ Tour Radio. Also, a podcast 319 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: on the Action Network, Links and Locks, comes out early 320 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: in the week. Uh, Jason h honored. What's going on? Man? John? 321 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: What's going on? Thanks? So much for the intro. I 322 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: appreciate all that. I know you've probably got some listeners 323 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: out there like betting on golf. Really, here's what I 324 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: tell everybody. There's just a little intro here. If you're 325 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: not betting on golf, you're doing it wrong. Look, you 326 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: get a nice sweat for a football game three hours 327 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: and then it's over golf. You do your research and 328 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: do your prep for three days. Then they played for 329 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: four days. There's actually more time when they're in action 330 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: than not in action. It's it's a great four days sweat. 331 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: And it's not just pick a winner. There's a lot 332 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: as we'll talk about props and there's a lot of 333 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: other things that you can get into. So it really is, 334 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: I'm telling you the best sport to bet on. I 335 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: live bet early on Sunday morning. Jason Day is probably 336 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: on whole two. I got them three and a half 337 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: to one. It was rocky, you know. I was holding 338 00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: on for dear life, and then he and then he 339 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: jarred it on fifteen and I'm like, okay, it's on. 340 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,360 Speaker 1: And then sixteen and seventeen derailed us. Uh. But that 341 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: was that was fun. Uh. And let's start there. I 342 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: mean Pebble Beach. The field I remember going probably a 343 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 1: decade ago. Actually, I think on Saturday, Tiger Phil played 344 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: together and Phil was paired, or maybe Tiger was paired 345 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 1: with Tony. That was the year that Tiger got mad 346 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: at Tony for going to dinner with Phil. Uh. And 347 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: I think I think Phil might ended up winning, but 348 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: I was too. Yeah, yeah, that was I mean it 349 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: used to be. I mean, I'm I'm a Barry. Guys, 350 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: it's a big deal around here. But the field, let's 351 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: face it, with everyone guy getting paid to go to 352 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, it's throwing everything off a little bit, which 353 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: I understand these guys getting huge paychecks, but the field 354 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 1: kind of sucks. But from a gambling perspective, I think 355 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: it makes it more interesting. My guy Jason Day, who 356 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 1: has played here well before, and you look at him 357 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: now out he's a little skinnier. Uh. They were talking 358 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: about on the broadcast. His short game is elite. Uh. 359 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 1: I've never played pebble, but haven't been there a million times. 360 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: And you know, I mean small greens. You gotta have 361 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: a good short game. I like Jason Dave right now, 362 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: fan duel eighteen to one, do you think I'm overreacting 363 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: to last week, or is this a guy that maybe 364 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: has turned the corner a little bit and we can 365 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 1: see Jason Day being a little bit of a factor 366 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,360 Speaker 1: this year. Okay, So first of all, John weeks like this, 367 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: they're terrible for the fans who want to see the 368 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: big stars out there. And hey, it's a great venue, 369 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 1: Pebble Beach, three great courses, and I want to see 370 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: the best of the best, and you're not gonna see 371 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: that one top ten player in Patrick Cantley, only three 372 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: top twenty players, ten in the top fifty, and you're right, 373 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: a lot of guys going over and taking the blood 374 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 1: money over in Saudi Arabia this week. That said, it's 375 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 1: a great week for betters. And I mean, these are 376 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 1: the weeks that I love that you can get your 377 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: fingernails dirty and really dive in a little bit and say, Okay, 378 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 1: there's a couple of players that I really like. I 379 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 1: haven't been able to bet them because they're play in 380 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: these fields against six, seven, eight of the top ten 381 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: players every week, and I just know that they're not 382 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 1: gonna win, they're not gonna finish in the top ten. 383 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: But now you've got a chance to go after those players. 384 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: So these are the weeks that we love as betters. 385 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: As far as Jason Day, look, I I know you 386 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,959 Speaker 1: had a bet on him this past week. You had 387 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: a live bet at Tory. The worst thing that could 388 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: have happened you. You almost got the worst of both worlds, John, 389 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: because what you wanted was either he wins at Tory 390 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 1: and cashes that live bet he made, which would have 391 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 1: been a great bet, or he completely flames out finishes 392 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,719 Speaker 1: in forty third place and the number doesn't drop as 393 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,719 Speaker 1: much as it did for this week. So I like 394 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: Jason Day plays well at Pebble Beach every single year. 395 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: I think it's six straight top twenties. Whether he's number 396 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: one in the world or whether he's completely struggling with 397 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: his game, he shows up to Pebble every year and 398 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: shows off his best stuff. Except the problem is that 399 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: number eighteen to one. To me, I think if he 400 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: hadn't contended a Pebble and Tori last week, if he 401 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: had finished in fiftie ast we never saw him on TV. 402 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: I think he would have been closer to thirty five 403 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: or forty two one this week, and I would have 404 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: been a lot happier to take him at that number 405 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,360 Speaker 1: than at eighteen. I think, now you're just you're reaching 406 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: just a little bit. But like I said, he always 407 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: plays well there, Okay, and this guy I would have 408 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: bet at fifty six to one without hesitation. But at 409 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: twenty seven to one matv McNeeley, I just I can't. 410 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 1: That's too rich for my taste. But a top ten 411 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: for a guy that I mean had a chance to 412 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: win it last year pays three to one. Um, I 413 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: like my West Coast guys on my West Coast swing. 414 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: So how how about Maverick m McNeeley this year? Do 415 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: you agree that that number is just too rich to 416 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: bet him to outright win? Completely agree. I've had him 417 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: on target for Pebble Beach for the last six months 418 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: and he did the exact same thing as day. He 419 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,919 Speaker 1: just went out and played too well leading up to 420 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: this and the number dropped and we didn't get the 421 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: better field that we've had in recent years. And so 422 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: he is one of the better players here. The problem 423 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: with MAV and I completely agree. First of all, I'm 424 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: not chasing the number. Secondly, I'm not sure about Maverick 425 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 1: mcneely's ceiling yet. I think the question is still out 426 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 1: there whether he can go out and win on any 427 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: given week. I think he probably can, but he's never 428 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: done it before. That said, he's got a higher floor 429 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: than most other players of his kind of status, of 430 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: his tear. He's a He's an up and cover that 431 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,679 Speaker 1: seriously never takes a week off. I mean, for the 432 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: most part, he's in the top twenty, top thirty every 433 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: single time he teased it up. Now he goes to 434 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: a place where he was runner up last year, tied 435 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: for fifth a year before that. He knows nor North CALLI. 436 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 1: He loves the the event, he loves the courses there um, 437 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 1: and he's a ball striker. I think this suits him 438 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: a lot better than a seventy dred yard Tory South 439 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: did last week. So I like him on these three courses. 440 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 1: Yeah again, I completely agree with you. I'm not going 441 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: down to one to take him outright, but for a 442 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: top ten, even a top twenty at a short money 443 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: I think probably plus one twenty plus one for a 444 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: top twenty, I don't mind that either. A little different 445 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 1: age range here, but I think this guy, uh, I 446 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: don't have any actually evidence to back this up, but 447 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 1: it feels like he makes his his money on you know, 448 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: early in the season, in the fall season, definitely in 449 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: this West Coast swing. And he just played well at 450 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: Toris Pat Perez, I'm sure he's played this, you know, 451 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: these courses a million times in his life. Uh again, 452 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 1: outright to win. I wouldn't go that for eighty to 453 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: one though. I feel he's actually a sneaky decent long shot. 454 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: But you get him about eight and a half to 455 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 1: one to top ten, Uh that that's just a guy. 456 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: I just that's value to me in the top ten. 457 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,439 Speaker 1: What do you think about Pat Perez? Don't mind it. 458 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: I was actually a little surprised by how he played 459 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: at Tory Pines, which is his home. He grew up 460 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: working in the caddy bar in there, so he knows 461 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: that place better than anybody. Had had Pad on the 462 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 1: radio show a couple of weeks ago before he played 463 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: the American Express, which was his first start of the 464 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: year or and I can tell you that Pat didn't 465 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: sound all that optimistic about Pat at that point. I 466 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: don't think he was quite ready to get after it. 467 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: At the am X didn't play his best golf and 468 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: then played really well last week. I'm still I think 469 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: there are a few other guys I'd rather go for 470 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: as far as long shots this week. I don't mind 471 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: press on the West Coast. But look, Pebble Beach is 472 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: a party. They don't call it a clam bake for nothing. 473 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 1: This is a good time. Perez likes to have a 474 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: good time. Sometimes that works in your favor. You go 475 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: out there and hang out in the tap room and 476 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 1: have a good time every night. Sometimes, as we all 477 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 1: know who played golf, this can work against you, maybe 478 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: some late hours, maybe some extracurricular activities. So it's not 479 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: that I don't like Pat. I like Pat Perez all 480 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,199 Speaker 1: the time. Is the most honest person in golf. And 481 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 1: uh he tells exactly what's on his mind whenever you 482 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: speak with him. It's one of my favorite guys. I 483 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 1: don't know that I'm he's necessarily my favorite play down there, 484 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 1: but I won't talk you out of it either. Give 485 00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: me a give me a long shot, then that you 486 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,959 Speaker 1: like this week? All right? I got a name for 487 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: you that a lot of people probably haven't heard of before. 488 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,479 Speaker 1: Brandon Harkins played on the PGA Tour back in and 489 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, played this event twice fifteenth place place, not 490 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: bad for a guy who doesn't have some big results 491 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: at other places. And so the fact that, all right, 492 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 1: a couple of things here. He won the Tailor Made 493 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: Pebble Beach Invitational last year, an unofficial event towards the 494 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 1: end of the year, had the lowest four round score 495 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: in four decades at that event, So we obviously likes 496 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 1: these courses play as well. If you need more, you 497 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: just happen to win on the corn Ferry Tour a 498 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: week ago, and that didn't end on Sunday, so it 499 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: sounds if he's still catching his breath and enjoying the spoils. 500 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: It ended on Wednesday, so we had a few extra 501 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: days to enjoy it, to recuperate, to relax. Probably went 502 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 1: home for a few days, then goes back out to 503 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: a place he really likes. I've spoken with some players 504 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 1: out the Scottsdale area who play with him on a 505 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 1: regular basis, say, hey, he went through some injuries, but 506 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 1: now he's healthy and he's playing good golf. I really 507 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 1: like him as a long shot, and John, if you're 508 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,959 Speaker 1: looking for long shots this week, I can tell you 509 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 1: that each of the last three even numbered years at 510 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: Pebble Beach. We've had a triple digit pre tournament outright 511 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: win this event two thousand sixteen, Vaughn Taylor ten, Ted 512 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: Potter Jr. Nick Taylor. And so if you believe in superstition, 513 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: you believe in numerology and patterns and all that stuff, 514 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: maybe go after some big numbers this week. How about 515 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: any of the guys near the top. Is there anyone? 516 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously he's out tours, is playing great. He 517 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: just couldn't hit a put to save his life when 518 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 1: it mattered. You know, can't lay is an elite player, 519 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 1: best player in this field by far Burger one at 520 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: last year. Speak to me, A swing looks a little 521 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 1: funky right now. Not sure what's going on there. But uh, 522 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 1: any guys, you know, the of the big name guys. Yeah, 523 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: So last week I said beforehand, this was uh an 524 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: event where you have to ask yourself to raw or 525 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: not to rom. You have to either get on John 526 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 1: Rom or get off John Rom. And it was a 527 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: tough question. You wound up finishing one back, of course, 528 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 1: out of the playoff, and I think you have to 529 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: ask yourself, can't lay or no, can't lay? This week? 530 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: You have to figure out whether you like the favorite 531 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: in the field. There's a couple of things to like, 532 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: and one of them is the fact that, first of all, 533 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 1: like I said, he's the best player out there, he's 534 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,439 Speaker 1: the most talented player in the field, and it might 535 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: not be close. Secondly, unlike some other elite level players 536 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: who might go to an inferior event, a smaller event 537 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: and just try to get some momentum, try to get 538 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 1: some good swings in and try to build something for 539 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: later in the year, when Patrick can't Ley goes to 540 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 1: an event, he goes in with the mindset of I'm 541 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: gonna play my best golf, I'm gonna try to win 542 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: this thing. So I do like that about him. The 543 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: one thing I don't like about him is well, the 544 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: number I just don't want to dip down to seven 545 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 1: to one to take a guy at an event like 546 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: I just said, where we have seen some long shots 547 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: over the last few years. So the guy like at 548 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 1: the top of the board the most is Justin Rose, 549 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: who played really well on Sunday at Tory. The one 550 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: thing that's been bothering Justin as far as his game 551 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,479 Speaker 1: over the past year or so is the driver doesn't 552 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: need to hit driver great at these courses, some wide 553 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: fairways and they're shorter, so a lack of length doesn't 554 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 1: bother you at all. He might not even need to 555 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: hit driver off the tee a whole lot. This week, 556 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 1: Irons and putter are still really, really good. I like 557 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: Justin Rose a lot and then my favorite out right. 558 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 1: This week, it feels like we've all forgotten a little 559 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 1: bit about Mito Pereira. Last year he was the it 560 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: guy coming off the corn Ferry Tour. He had won 561 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 1: three times on that circuit, got the end season promotion 562 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: to the PGA Tour, had three finishes of sixth. They're better, 563 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 1: and everyone was saying, all right, this guy is gonna win. 564 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: He's gonna win soon. Since then, he's played good, not great, 565 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,360 Speaker 1: but good. Last week his first start of two, finishing 566 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: the share of at Tory Pines. And I've got a 567 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 1: little note for you on this back at the Sony 568 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 1: the DICKI matsu Yamo's your winner. He finished the week 569 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: before at Coppolua, Okay, so we got not really into contention, 570 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,400 Speaker 1: but played pretty well and got some momentum at the 571 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: Amex The next week after the Sony Hudson Swofford, who 572 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: had played the week before, played pretty well, made the cut, 573 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,880 Speaker 1: got in four rounds, but not serious contention. And then 574 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 1: we went to Luke Lisz, who finished in twenty second 575 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,439 Speaker 1: place at the Amex his first start of two and 576 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: then went out and won it Tory pind. So there's 577 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: a definitive pattern and a trend that we've seen so 578 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 1: far this year, which is guys who make their first 579 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 1: start of the year, they're playing pretty well, nothing great, 580 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: nothing spectacular, not all the physical and mental energy of 581 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: trying to contend for a title, but they build on 582 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,479 Speaker 1: that the next week. Meto is right in that sweet 583 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: spot where he was twenty five last week. He's seventh 584 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: on the PGA Tour, and strokes gained on approach shots. 585 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be a big factor, a big 586 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: metric this week. I like everything about him, including the 587 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: number you can get him, uh usually at forty two 588 00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: one in most books, but you might be able to 589 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: find some books where you still forty five or fifty 590 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: to one, which I think is a really nice price. 591 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take that strategy when DJ plays again, probably 592 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: in like a month, because I don't know how often 593 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 1: he's gonna play, but it looked like for a guy 594 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: that hadn't touched the club since October. You know he's yeah, 595 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: I like that mind set. That's a that's a good 596 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: little betting strategy. I'm gonna jot that one down. Well, Jason, Thanks, 597 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: have a good week. And uh, let's uh, Golf's back, baby, 598 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: it's back, and it's mid season already. We're gonna be 599 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: at the Masters before we know it. So we can't 600 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: wait for this thing to kick off this week and 601 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: be on. We got eight more months of golf in 602 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: front of us. John, I love it, Thanks man, look 603 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: forward to talking to you absolutely. Thanks John. Okay, let's 604 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 1: bang out a couple of questions at go low Pod 605 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: at go low Pod on Instagram, and let's start with Jordan's. 606 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: My question is about the broadcast team at CBS. I'm 607 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: not sure what contracts are in place, but do you 608 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: think it's time for CBS to move from Nick Faldo. 609 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: He's been getting increasingly more cringe every year. Last week 610 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: he had to bring up his awful sneaky quarterback that 611 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: was pretty terrible joke twenty times during the broadcast. I 612 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: think it's time for some new blood in the booth, 613 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: What say you? What I think they want to do 614 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 1: is hire Phil Mickelson. The problem is Phil still thinks 615 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: he can play at a really high level, which he 616 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: kind of really can anymore. But he did win the 617 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 1: PJA Championship last year, so it's hard for him to quit. 618 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: And he also knows that he can play the Tour Championship. 619 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: And while it's probably kind of boring for him and 620 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: clearly not as much money, it's pretty easy for him 621 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: to make like four grand every week. But I think 622 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: that's what they want to do. Put Jim Nance with 623 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: Phil Mickelson, like Jim Nance with Tony Romo. That's what 624 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: they want. But you know, other than that, I don't 625 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: really know who else they would go with. I love 626 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: the show. What an amazing weekend of golf. I wrapped 627 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: up watching every shot Saturday while homebound with two ft 628 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: of snow outside here in New York. Then I wake 629 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: up Sunday morning at six am to catch the back 630 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: nine and Dubai saw Rory blow it on eighteen and 631 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: Hoveland wins in a playoff. Great drama question. I noticed 632 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: both tournaments ran the whole tournament in threesomes. Do you 633 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 1: know why it killed the pace of play and was 634 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: tough to watch. I I don't Lastly, who you I 635 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: don't know why they did that. Lastly, who you got 636 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 1: in the Masters. Um, that's a good question. I haven't 637 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 1: really thought that far. Victor Hoveland is a guy that's 638 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: really coming on. Um. I think I will have some 639 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: action on Victor Hovelin in that tournament. One thing I think, 640 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 1: I don't think it matters like the Wednesday through Saturday, 641 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: I love it in January. You could argue in the 642 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 1: fall series Dustin Johnson hasn't played to October. Most of 643 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: the good players beside the one tournament in Vegas, they 644 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 1: don't play any fall series in like September and October 645 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 1: post the Ryder Cup. So I don't think you need 646 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: to go and divert away from football in the fall 647 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: like the true fall. I'm talking like October and September. 648 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: But to me, in January, everything I'm doing starting at Cappealoua, 649 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: I'm going Wednesday through Saturday. I am not messing with 650 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: the NFL. So I give Tory Pines a lot of 651 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,479 Speaker 1: credit for avoiding the National Football League. Now, I'm not 652 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: sure why it's a good question. I have to look 653 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: at why they went the threesomes. I hate slow play. 654 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 1: I'm with you. It drives me nuts watching like I 655 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: love Dustin Johnson. The pace in which Dustin Johnson plays 656 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: with like every shot. I was watching Tory Pines when 657 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: he was with uh what was his group? I think 658 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 1: it was j T and Rom the first two days, 659 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: and Rom would hit a shot, then j T would 660 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 1: hit a shot, and then the ball would still be 661 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: on the green like rolling back, and you know they 662 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: would pay him back to go to Dustin. He's already 663 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 1: in his back swing. It's like, that's the guy I 664 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: want to play with, playing rapid speed. And some people 665 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 1: were like, well, he goes slow on the greens. Most 666 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: guys slow on the greens, but dust DJs pace to 667 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: play Tita green Ta the fringe of the green is 668 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: fastest in the game. Yeah, I love it. No practice swings, 669 00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 1: just haul and asked plays the cut, aims to the left, 670 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 1: cuts it back, keeps walking. I loved he'd be the 671 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: guy I want to play with. Doesn't say much rocking 672 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: and rolling. I bet he could play Me and him 673 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: could play eighteen holes probably in an hour, in twenty minutes, 674 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: especially if we had cards. Just curious, if you're having 675 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: a chill around with the boys, what's your favorite playlist 676 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: or artists or genre of music to play. I would say, 677 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: if I'm drinking, which you know, weekend summer, probably grunge, 678 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: you know, like Nirvana, Pearl Jams, Sublime, something of that 679 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: genre like nineties my childhood or country music would usually 680 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: what I would listen to. Um, I've been bringing up 681 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: podcast speech is my favorite golfer. He has proven throughout 682 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: his career as the skills to be a top golfer 683 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: in the world. Obviously, he is a slump for a while, 684 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: but seemed to get out of it in Do you 685 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 1: think twenty one gives him good momentum into twenty two. 686 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: I'd love to hear your thoughts. Yes, I thought coming 687 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: into the season Jordan was poise hell he would have 688 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 1: been like my master's pick. And I watched him these 689 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. His swing looks funky to me. 690 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: It just his pre shot routine looks off. I I 691 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,880 Speaker 1: saw I heard someone say on a podcast his statistics 692 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,839 Speaker 1: so far this year are not great. Something looks off 693 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 1: with Jordan Spieth. I think this week is gonna be 694 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 1: very interesting. Because remember last year at the A T 695 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,839 Speaker 1: and T he had two hole outs for eagles and 696 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 1: he was right in the mix. Burger ended up winning it. 697 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,319 Speaker 1: But to me, if he's not top five TAN at 698 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 1: this tournament, he I would be a little out on 699 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 1: him saying something's off and he's kind of resorting back 700 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,240 Speaker 1: for a while. Funny how you mentioned the LPGA Celebrity 701 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: Hybrid event. My girlfriend and I got to go to 702 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: that and we followed Nelly all eighteen holes obviously certified 703 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: golf assassin and yes, Nellie kicked a ship out of 704 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 1: Derek Lowe. We've been to many Florida PGA tourn events, Dallas, 705 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 1: bar Players, etc. And thought the energy and amount of 706 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 1: fans was very similar. To me, the LPGA seems like 707 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,080 Speaker 1: the women's league that has the best chance to and 708 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 1: pete with the men's league in its relative of sport. 709 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 1: They have a nucleus of young stars. What do you 710 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,399 Speaker 1: think the LPGA has to do to get the same 711 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 1: level as the p G A maybe start the crossover events. Well, 712 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: I don't think they can never get to the same level. 713 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: I think that's just that's just impossible. Uh. I think 714 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: the crossover events can definitely help them out. I remember, 715 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:23,879 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're my age, remember some of those 716 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,360 Speaker 1: early two thousands, like David Duval, Tiger Woods, Annaka, some 717 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 1: crossover things there. I would definitely get Nellie and Daniel 718 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 1: Kang involved with some stuff. Is Bryson Keepka, Rory j 719 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 1: t That there's something there. I think that's the key. 720 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: But ultimately the TV product is just it's really really hard. 721 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,280 Speaker 1: It's it's really really hard to to me to match. 722 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 1: But I'm with you because I mean, as somewhat a 723 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,720 Speaker 1: sports junkie, there's not really I don't watch any female sports. 724 00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 1: You know you I wouldn't. I don't hell, I don't 725 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 1: even watch how much NBA anymore. But I've never watched 726 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 1: the w NBA game in my life. I guess you 727 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,879 Speaker 1: know women senis. I mean, I've watched Venus became such 728 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 1: a star. If you can get Venus Serena, I guess 729 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,319 Speaker 1: Serena is the bigger star. But you know what I mean, 730 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: if you get the Venus Serena, I would say Tennis 731 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,759 Speaker 1: is a good somewhat of a parallel. They have had 732 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:21,759 Speaker 1: historic tennis Chris Everett, uh Navratolova. You just get some 733 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,360 Speaker 1: famous people. People will come, So you just need to 734 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 1: build up stars. You get stars. What is uh what's 735 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 1: his name? Saying? Um Costner. I almost had a few 736 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 1: good men, but fucking the movie in Iowa. If you 737 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:38,760 Speaker 1: build it, they will come. I love the golf Bodycrats says, 738 00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 1: would love to hear your major predictions. Also the players. Uh, honestly, 739 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 1: I haven't even got that far yet. I would say 740 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:50,399 Speaker 1: the Masters. I'm thinking, I'm thinking some hobblin action. And 741 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,399 Speaker 1: I know this guy struggles, but I I struggles to win. 742 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 1: I mean, he doesn't struggle. He's a great player. Z 743 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,360 Speaker 1: Andrew's gonna bust through. I like it. I like a 744 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,800 Speaker 1: right hander hits a draw. I actually think Adecki. You know, 745 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's gonna go back to back, but 746 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,799 Speaker 1: I can see Hideki being a factor there. I can't 747 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 1: wait until we see Headecki's menu. Big fan of the pods. 748 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 1: Been waiting on the golf betting ever since you hit 749 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 1: DJ Masters put a hundred dollars twenty to one. That 750 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,320 Speaker 1: was sweet. Had a question about your two thousand, twenty 751 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 1: two golf betting philosophy. Typically I'll dip my toes into 752 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,799 Speaker 1: a two top ten, a few top tens in top 753 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 1: twenties that said, I feel like this is a great 754 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 1: year strictly to focus on outright winners. I get the 755 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 1: sense of the top thirty players in the world are 756 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 1: so strong right now. The predictability of these tournaments has 757 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 1: become much easier to gauge than in years past. Would 758 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,880 Speaker 1: love to hear your thoughts on your twenty two outlook 759 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:48,280 Speaker 1: and overall thought process. I think if you like guys 760 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 1: going into individual tournaments, all the top seven eight guys, 761 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,279 Speaker 1: the more cow was, the DJs, the Kepta's. You know, 762 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 1: Xander's probably a little less. He hasn't one as much JT. 763 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,840 Speaker 1: You know, obviously, Rom it's not crazy to put a 764 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 1: hundred dollars on some guys like that at twelve, fifteen 765 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,440 Speaker 1: to one in tournaments they've had successes when they're all 766 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,839 Speaker 1: in it. Can't lay the memorial, obviously, Rom to there 767 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,840 Speaker 1: and just ride a horse. You know, this week I 768 00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,359 Speaker 1: put a hundred dollars on Jason Day And my thought 769 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 1: process is simply and all you'll hear him me you 770 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,239 Speaker 1: talk about it with sobel is he's played well here 771 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 1: before and watching him at Tory, he's skinnier, he's healthy 772 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,080 Speaker 1: and his short games awesome. Well, the thing at Pebble 773 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:28,839 Speaker 1: is they have small greens, so you gotta be able 774 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 1: to get up and down. You gotta be able to 775 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,760 Speaker 1: put greens are hard too, So I I love Jason 776 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 1: Day this week. So my my philosophy is I've listen. 777 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 1: You know what's sad. I don't bet many top tens 778 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 1: in twenties. Why those kind of bore me. I gamble 779 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 1: for the for the r o. I That's why I 780 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 1: love betting money line underdogs in football. You know it 781 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 1: doesn't betting fifty bucks to win fifty bucks is I 782 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,240 Speaker 1: don't know. I'd rather just keep my fifty bucks betting 783 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,120 Speaker 1: fifty bucks to win eight hundred. Now you got my 784 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,920 Speaker 1: juice flowing. But I'm with you. It's it's much easier 785 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,840 Speaker 1: to take a favorite and have a horse in the 786 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 1: race than like bet a guy eighty two one and 787 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 1: put thirty bucks on it and hope to win a 788 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,319 Speaker 1: couple grand and then the guy misses the cut. That 789 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 1: happens to me a lot. I always enjoy throwing a 790 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 1: little cash on when you give favorites to win tournaments. 791 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 1: On your other pods, hopefully you can pick a few 792 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 1: more this year. My buddy Corey is doing a bachelor 793 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 1: party in Scottsdale this fall. You'd being a scots Sdale guy, 794 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 1: not a Scottsdale guy. Been there twice in the last 795 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,320 Speaker 1: you know, five years. I wanted to get your opinion 796 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,399 Speaker 1: on two courses we have to play while we're there. 797 00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 1: Thanks and keep it up well. I played we kapal 798 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 1: Weka paul Weka paul uh. That course is badass. It's 799 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,320 Speaker 1: got thirty six holes. I highly recommend doing it both. 800 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 1: I remember telling my buddy Brian, I said, you know what, 801 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,480 Speaker 1: I've never been drunk to start around, because when you 802 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,759 Speaker 1: play thirty six holes and you're in Arizona for Royal Day, 803 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,320 Speaker 1: you started drinking in about hole too. Well, the problem 804 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 1: is you got whatever thirty three holes left. I remember 805 00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 1: being pretty drunk by whole one of the second eight team, 806 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:06,680 Speaker 1: and from the whole whole nine to hole I shot 807 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 1: like seventy four. I played some of the best golf 808 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,680 Speaker 1: of my life. I had three or four berties during 809 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,280 Speaker 1: that time. I was so dialed playing these beautiful cuts 810 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,879 Speaker 1: by I think about whole thirty one, I fell over 811 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,600 Speaker 1: when I swung but I played the greatest golf of 812 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 1: my life from the middle of that day, but weak 813 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:28,239 Speaker 1: of Pal. Uh played the stadium course TPC Scottsdale. Quintero, 814 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,719 Speaker 1: I didn't play, but I've heard it's really cool.
